BANK DIVIDENDS.
Notice Of Final Dividends in the First and
Sumner National Banks Received.

Notice was received from the COMP
trolIer Of the currency at Washington
Thursday Of the the final DIV
dends OF the Sumner National and
Fist National banks. The First Ma
tiOnal dividend is ISL per cent, and
the Sumner National dividend So
per cent. The Sumner National dlyl.
dend was disappointing, aud many of
the depOsitOrS are indignant. Receiver
Sheridan before wiudi0g up the re-
ceiyeTShlp put sufficient mOuey in the
hands OF tie comptroller U pay d final
dividend, according 20 his own state
ment, OF ABOUT p per cent to Sumner
NatlOna. depOsitQTs, Mr.. Sheridan is
a very conservative man, and the de-
positions were expecting even a larger
dividend. The depoSitOrS owe their
disappointment 10 the comptroller Of
the currency. Not a word of crlti-
cism has been made concerning Mr..
Sheridan. The depOsitors realize
that they owe nearly every dollar
they have received from the banks to
his work as receiver. But there is no
mistaking the fact that the depositors
are sore at the comptroller.
Tie question is being asked,
"Where did the rest Of the money
which Mr.. Sheridan placed 10 the
hands Of the comptroller for final
distribution go?" 1t went for one of
two purposes: rebates TO stockholders,
or fees for lawyers. The Sumner
National stockholders were assessed IS
per cent, and the First National
stockholders 100 per cent. The First
National stockholders received a re-
bate of l9t per cent, while the Sum-
ntr National rebate is unknown. The
depOsit0rs argue that no rebates
should have been allowed until every
dollar Of the banks Indebtedness was
paid. What money was not returned
to the stockholders in rebates prOba-
bly, went to lawyers who had been
milking the two trusts since the banks
became iIsOlvcnt. Eugene Hagen
Of Topeka, was on the monthly pay
rolls of both trusts by virtue of the
comptrOller's desire. Peters & Mich.
olson of Newton, are supposed to have
drained the banks for a princely fee
in theAmerican National bank suit OF
Arkansas City, and Senator Beveridge
OF Indiana, drew $500 fee for
settling up the Baird estate, which
amounted 70 but a little more than
twice the amount Of his fee. These
Grains on the banEs were made
through political pull at Washing
ton, and is one Of the curses Of
the national banking system. 1t is
little wonder that 10 times Of panic
the people become frightened like
rabbits and withdraw their money
from the banks and chuck it In holes
and old stockings. There seems to be
no redress for Sumner National de-
pOsitOrs. They eau figure that 1873 Of
their deposit has been given to stock
holders in rebates or TO lawyers as
pOliti al reward, and take their salts

dividends paid to Sumner National
depoSitcrs is SOP, and to the First
National depoSitOrS 751 per cent.

A KANSAS CURIOSITY.
Medicine Lodges Unique Sorghum Factory,
Which is Growing.

Medicine Lodge has one of the
smallest manufacturing industries in
the world, II is a sorghum syrup
factory, which has run three years
and has not yet sold a dollars worth
OF syrup. The first year the cane was
crushed in hand mill by one man
power, and the juice was cooked over a
borrowed gasoline stove. Thirty-tlve
dollars was spent that season in MAX
ing syrup. The SS5 was contributed
by a banker who had lost s25, 900 in a
sorghum factory and who was curious
to know how and why he had lost his
$4,000. The next year the cane was
crushed by TWO men, and two gasoline
stoves were used, and SIS was spent
that year. Last year a horse cane
mill was used, 400 experiments were
made with sorghum juices, trying
many processes used by brewers, re-
liners, glucose and sugar makers. Two
hundred dollars was spent in that
work last year. The coming season
$500 will be spent. The money ex.
pended was private money, and
whether il will come back again need
not concern any but those who spent
1t, and they do not complain. 1t is
already planned to spend $1,000 in
experimental syrup work next year
merely to carry out on larger scale
the new process already adopted. The
little syrup factory has sent hundreds
OF samples TO dealers, to refners ana
10 experts to get their judgment in
the matter. The manager Of the Ma
tional Sugar refinery in New York and
the manager OF the largest English
refneries at Liverpool have vOlun-
tarlly offered to 20 to the little Kansas
syrup factory next fall and see what
they can do with sorghum Juice. A
Philadelphia retner says sorghum
syrup, when rightly made and refined,
is one OF the finest syrups in the
world. The New York Journal OF
Commerce says people are tired OF the
oyer-glucOSe syrups, often so to 90 per
cent glucose, and demand pure, good
cane syrup. In southern states TWEEN
ty- eight million gallons of sugar cane
mOlaSSes are made year. 1t is 10
demand and sells at better prices than
sorghum syrup. 1t seems clear that
the quality of sorghum syrup should
be and may be improved. This is
what the little Medicine Lodge syrup
factory is doing. 1t is trying 10 find
the right way to make the best syrup.
Whether IL is wise or not wise depends
on how it results. The wonderful
progress which has been made 10 all
arts in the plSt City years has been
due to few inquiSitive people who
perSSteutly asked the questions
show" and why and~Wao tried new
ways Of doing old things. The beet
sugar industry was fifty years old be-
fore the right way was found to purify
beet juice, and sorghum may also be
fifty years old before it finds the right
way to purify sorghum Juice. Cane
sugar making has improved greatly in
the past flfty years. 1t has been proved
that neither sorghum sugar nor syrup
can succeed in the old way. 1t is
necessary to discover new ways and
better processes. That is what the
Medicine Lodge sorghum factory runs
for.
