Morton Albaugh, state bank
commissioner, made the follow
ing statement for the information
of Kansas bankers Saturday:
"The fact that some Kansas
state banks, in their efforts to
secure business. have been CASH
ing checks and receipting for de-
posits at small towns near them,
has come to the attention of the
bank commissioners department
and in some instances even ad-
vertising that on certain days of
the week representative would
be at such places for such pur-
poses. The bank commissioner
has submitted the matter to At
torney General GODDARD, who has
rendered an opinion that such
action is not permissible under
the Kansas banking law"
Bank Commissioner Albaugh
says this ruling of the attorney
general will be the rule for the
guidance of his department and
in the future no banks will be
either permitted to cash checks
or receipt for deposits outside
their places of business.-Mail

Curran Says "Nif."

Last week Mort Albaugh, Re-
publican State Chairman, issued
an invitation to the Populist par
ty through it's Chairman, John
Curran, to come over and join
the Republican fold. Mr.. Cur
ran replied to the same and the
following is copy of the letter
he sent to Mr.. A1baugh a few
days later:
ST have read with much inter
est your kind invitation to the
Populist party to join the Repub-
lican party. 1 feel, of course,
that your effort was to furnish
some copy to the newspapers for
hot weather consumption and al
so from a little natural and for
givable weakness on your part
to appear as a humorist. 1 as
sure you that your invitation is
funny. The only trouble in the
matter is to tell whether the joke
is on you or the Republican par
ty. The one fault one might
find with it is that you did not
caution us not to all come at
once. You ought to give your
people time to shove oyer and
make room for the crowd.
81 agree with you fully that in
these piping times of addresses,
manifestos and whereases which

cal joy vouchsafed to the rather
lonely and neglected fate weav-
ers for mankind one must not
let the other fellow enjoy all the
pleasure of being in the lime
light and so find no fault with
you for breaking in in the man.
ner you did. While the news
paper correspondents were
spending whole galleys of glory
on this exponent of populism il
is too bad that you were forgot
ten and 1 should have offered to
divide honors before. However,
it is not too late to do the right
thing by you and 1 now offer you
the opportunity of your lifetime
to add to the luster of your late
ly bedimmed, and at the same
time to add to the gayety of ma.
tons and the Popu1ist party.
hereby challenge you to joint
debate to be held at some time
before the first of September,
1901, in the Auditorium at To
peka on the following question
Resolved, That the Peoples
party should join the Republican
party"
81 may be pardoned if insist
on taking the negative side of the
question. This will give you ar
opportunity to show the wilfu
Populists the error of their ways
and demonstrate to a waiting
world what a wonderful thing the
Republican party is in the state
of Kansas.

shape by the Odee people at the home of H

time and free dance at night and they all
had a good time for some of them did not
get home until about shutdown the next day.
A couple of little showers of rain passed
through parts of Odee twp. but did not do
very much good, SO we are still looking for
rain.

H. Gruemken got his new house ready and
it has taken the place of the old sod house.
We are glad to see new houses and barns put

Chairman Albaugh must have
an extra large amount of pure,
unadulterated gall, to slobber all
over the Populist party and in
vite them to join the Republican
ranks, after all the villianous
abuse that party has heaped up
on the shoulders of the Populist
party. Do you remember the
names that you were called and
the abuses you received from the
Republican press all over the
state? Now they come asking
you to join them and vote against
the principles you have been adj
vocating for years. Will you
be caught on a pin hook baited
by the sly, cunning politician
who runs the Republican state
machinery, or will you continue
to vote your principles even if you
have to go to the Democratic par
ty to find them. We could always
see logical reasons for Populist
voting the Democrat ticket and
vice versa, but never the logic
of either of them voting the Re
publican ticket.

the peat is different from that which
is extracted from a bog In Ireland or

In both Ireland and Scotland the peat
is used as fuel. AT FranZensbad the
mineralized peat will not serve such
purpose. The bog from which 1t Is ex-
tracted has been saturated throughout
countless ages with mineral water. and
