The dividend of 90 per cent TO
Sumner National depositors instead
as q per cent, as 1t should have been,
means a loss OF about $3.50 to Rem

The flight of +. H. Teale, local repre-
sentative of the Parkhurst. Davis
grocery company OfTopeka, is recalled
by suit recently filed against the
Wellington National bank. The petit
tiOn alleges that the firm of Kettering
& Son of COrbin, on September 5, 1898,
drew a check fer S249.7l 10 payment
of a bill of goods due the firm and
delivered it to one f. Fl. Teale, who
endorsed it "Palkhurst-Davis Mer-
camille Co., by f. H. Teale, salesman"
and presented it at the bank, where it
was paid. The company now claim
that Teale had no authority to en-
1Orse any check drawn payable to
their order and that the bauk, having
paid the money to an unauthorized
party, is responsible for the same.
The ParkhurSt-DaviS Co. sues for the
amount of the check, S249 Il, with
interest.
