DEPENDS UPON EARLY VOTE.
Frye Determined to Hold Bill as
Unfinished Business.
QUAY PRo-BEVERIDGE CON.

Washington, Dec. IS. = When the
statehood bill was reached in the senate
on the second day from its set time
there was a brisk exchange between
Mr.. Quay, who favors the omnibus bill,
and senators who oppose it, regarding
its consideration.
Mr.. Beveridge asked that the bill go
over. He said few senator's were ready
to proceed, as there had been little OPP
portunity for senators to inform them
selves, the committee report not being
presented.
Mr.. Quay offered to let the bill go
over if a time was fixed for taking a
vote
Mr.. Bate, representing the Demo
Gratis. said his side was ready to vote.
The suggestion brought out protests
from Messrs. Beveridge, Lodge and
Hale.
Other senators made suggestions
about reasonable time to prepare for
discussion, and finally Mr.. Quay said:
s'If the Republicans can lie to the peo-
pie about the admission of territories
in their platform, they can lie about
every other proposition in the plat
form. The air was full of rumors
about how the bill was to be defeated
not by votes, but by obstruction; that
from day to day the vote will be post
poned until one by one the votes for the
omnibus bill are picked off"
Senator Quay has been particularly
careful to see that the parliamentary
standing of the bill should be under
stood, and his remark brought from
President pro tenn Frye the statement:
1.-The bill remains the unfinished bust
ness if it is in the power of the chair to
keep it there, and the chair thinks it
is"
There probably will be an attempt to
kill the bill by talking it to sleep, and
the statehood champions will try soon
er or later to force vote. II they can
do so in a reasonable time, they will
win; if not, they will lose.

ONE OF SEVEN.
Only Seven Cities in the United
States With Banking Facilities
Equal to Hutchinson's.
First Nationals High Rank is Due to
Progressive Enterprise and COnserva-

cesding 1000, 900 90.

Every citizen of Hutchinson and
Kansas knows the high standing of
the First National Bank of Hutchin-
son. They know that it has kept pace
with the growth of the city and has
year by year grown more solid and
substantial, more able to respond to
the banking needs of the community.
Few even of home people know, how
ever, that this bank has made a name
for itself and reputation for the City
OF Hutchinson, which extends far be-
yond the limits of the State of Kansas.
The last report of the Comptroller
of Currency, Washington. D. c., lists
but seven cities in the United States
population of about 10, O0O which have
banks with deposits exceeding $1,000
O0O.OO One of these is Hutchinson, all
the others are in far eastern cities. In
all the west there is no other bank
with such a record. There are but
three other larger banks in Kansas
than the First National of Hutchinson.
One is in Topeka and the others at
Leavenworth and Wichita The Uni
ted States Treasury has selected the
Hutchinson bank as one of the govern
ment repositories for the state.
The great success of the First Ma
tional Bank is due to the progressive
enterprise of the gentlemen who have
been its officers and directors Gurir~
the last twenty-five years. 1t has beeA
the policy of the bank to be an in
tegral factor in the public development
its own welfare is closely connected
with that of Hutchinson and Reno
county in particular and of Kansas in
general, the bank has sought in every
digniied and legitimate manner to
advance the material interests of the
whole territory mentioned. AS a re-
suit, Hutchinson is one of the seven
cities Of 10000 population which have
banks with deposits of over a million
and total resources of a million and
quarter dollars.
The savings department of the bank
for boys and girls pays per cent in
terest on all deposits and has been
source not only of direct, but indirect
benefit to the institution, since the
great Importance to the little ones of
their tiny deposits must necessarily
create interest in the households in the
regular banking department and these
add to its prestige and patronage
through the parents, as well as ere
ating a future clientele from the grown
up Little ones
Rhe officers of the First National
Bank are E. L. Meyer, president; L. A.
Bigger, vice president and w. Fl.

gether with James f. Redhead and B.

REcoRD OF TIE PAST.

The best guarantee OF the future is
the record of the past, and over fifty
thousand people have publicly testi-
fed that Doan's Kidney Pills have
cured them of numerous kidney ills,
from common backache to dangerous
diabetes, and all the attendant annoy
ances and sufferings from urinary dis
orders. They have been cured to
stay cured. Here is one case:
Samuel ]. Taylor, retired carpenter,
residing at 312 South Third ST.,
Goshen, Ind, says: "On the 25th day
of August, 1897, 1 made an affidavit
before Jacob c. Mann. notary public,
stating my experience with Doan's
Kidney Pills l had suffered for
thirty years, and was compelled at
times to walk by the aid of crutches,
frequently passed gravel and suffered
excruciatingly. 1 took every medi-
cine on the market that I heard about
and some gave me temporary relief
l began taking Doan's Kidney Pills
and the results / gave to the public
in the statement above referred to. At
this time, on the 18th day of July,
1902, l make this further statement
that during the five years which have
elapsed have had no occasion to use
either Doan's Kidney Pills or any
other medicine for my kidneys. The
cure effected was a permanent one"

New York, Dec. Referring to the

Topeka, Dee. 16.-Morton Albaugh,

Mr.. Albaugh was leaving the state
State house for his dinner, and when
half down the south steps, slipped on
at once removed TO his home, his leg
set and he is under the care of SUR
geons. The shock Albaugh sustained
was more injurious even than the in
jury itself, which was severe enough.
All afternoon his condition was eX-
tremely critical, but at night, though
suffering severe pain. he nevertheless
rested somewhat easier. The news of
Albaugh's injury was received with
CONSERVATION at the Copeland, where
Governor Bailey, Chester l. Long,
Cyrus Leland, Governor Stanley and
other political and personal friends
were gathered.
All afternoon Mr.. Albaugh was
watched with care For time it was
necessary to aid his feeble circulation
by surrounding him with hot water
bottles. He did not lose consciousness
during the sinking spell, but his shat
tered nerves almost failed to keep his
strength together. The absolute quiet
enforced will be preserved for forty
eight hours at least.

named, for it was understood that the
term ..abroad" referred to America.
