"Home Rulers" Want Botkin.

The home rule party, which was
organized a year ago, and the object
of which was to advance the cause
of prohibition in Kansas, is making
preparations for it's first campaign
this year. The state convention of
the party has been called to meet in
Hutchinson soon. Secretary NJ. n.
Butler, of the state central commit
tee, gave out a statement in which
he declared that the leaders of the
party favored the nomination of j.
ID. Botkin for congressmanat-lar
despite the fact that he probably
will be the populist nominee for gov
ernor. The populist state convention
does not meet until June "a and the
home rule party may nominate Bot
kin for another office before that
time. Friends of Mr.. Botl1in are try
ing to direct the attention of the
home rule organization to some other
candidate for congress, as they are
afraid that he might not reject the
home rule nomination and this would
prevent his nomination by the popu-
lists.

Bad Case at Emnoria.

NIldI SeS oI HldIprac1lce and or gross
immortality have been fled with DR..
ii. w. Roby, the secretary of the
state board of medical registration
and examination, by the citizens of
Emporia for the purpose of having
DIR. William Meffert's license to prac-
tice medicine in Kansas revoked.
The next meeting of the board is
held on June 10 and at this time the
matter will be taken up. The charges
and affidavitS are accompanied by
a statement of facts which is signed
by the committee of three who were
appointed by the citizens to collect
the necessary data and prepare the
charges for examination by the
board. After the opening paragraph
the communication says: For years
this man has been the talk of the
town for his immoral conduct and
because he has used his profession
to further his passions. But these
allegations could not be proven or
the charges of malpractice until a
Cora Randall was found by the city
marshal in a dying condition in
deserted room, who when, as she
supposed she was at the point of
death, made allegations which caused
the arrest of DR.. Meffert.' The next
charge made is that DR.. Meffert per-
formed a criminal operation on Mrs.
John b. Roberts. To substantiate this
statement two atfidavits of physicians
have been secured. There is also a
petition signed by 10 practicing ply
sicians of Emporia that, 1.-The under
signed believe DIR. Meffert to be gross
ly immoral and we know that he is
guilty of professional conduct to
such degree that we will not meet
with him in consultation or recog-
nize him as member of the med
zeal profession" The ministers of
Emporia have also prepared a petit
ton which states that CDR. Meffert
is a man of immoral character and
his practice of medicine is a menace
to the reputation of any woman who
may call on him for professional serv-
ices. His reputation as an immoral
man is extremely bad and we believe
his presence is menace to the NOR
ais of the community" This is
signed by nine ministers, nearly all
of whom are of different denomina-
tions, and includes both Protestant
and Roman Catholic divines In the
statement of facts made by the COM
mittee the case of Miss Alice Tray
Tor is taken up. This young woman
was for three years a teacher in the
public schools and is said to have
given entire satisfac action. She was a
member of the Methodist church and
came of one of the best families in
Emporia. In the spring of 1900 she
was seen several times on the street
in company with DR.. Meffert and the
teachers committee of the board OF
education cautioned her to stop.
She continued to GO with Dr. Meffert
however, and when again cautioned
told the board that DR.. Meffert was
going to marry her. The board asked
for her resignation and it was given
to them. DR.. Meffert, however, has
not married her since that time, ac-
cording to the report of the commit
tee, but the woman is living with
DIR. Meffert as is Miss Swan and
his divorced wife to whom he has
not been again remarked.

that in 1892 returns were received
from e,33s national and state banks
and private banks and bankers, with
capital and deposits aggregating ST.
071,073,048 and s4,679,114.516, re-
spectively. In July, 1902, reports Of
condition were received from 1856 ma
tional banks, and on approximate
dates statements relating also to 1889
state and private banks and bankers.
Adding to these the number of banks
making returns only of capital and sur
plus for taxa ton, the deposits of the
latter being estimated, it is shown
that there are in active operation in
the country 1916 banks and bankers,
with capital and deposits amounting,
respectively, to $1,340.160,416 and 3d.
7O7, 2S1, 9O4. From 1863 to 1902 the

The report says that on February 25,
1908, the national banking system will
have been in existence 20 years, and
then proceeds at some length to give a
history Of the system during these
years.
During the year ended October 81,
1902, 47O banks were chartered, with
an aggregate capital of s31, 3oO,o 900, of
which number 3O2, with capital of ST.
905,0O0, were of the smaller class, and
1853, with capital of S23, 225 900, had in
dividual capital of $4,000 and over.

ganized on every secular day Of the
year.

system by allowing national banks to
issue notes additional to those secured
by government bonds. the new issue to
