fright at the demonstration and ran

In referring to the report. Bank Com
missioner Albaugh stated: ''The showing
made by the Kanses banks is very graft
flying and their present condition is thor
oughly satisfactory. While there has been
a decided increase in the loans. yet in
most parts of the state, the banks have
been able to take care of their custo-
mers. Despite this increase in loans, the
state and private banks have an avera ge
reserve of thirty-six per cent of their
deposits, when the law requires but
twenty per cent, except in towns with a
population of over five thousand, OF in
reserve banks. The national banks show
an average reserve of thirty per cent,
the law requiring but fifteen per cent,
except in reserve cities. where twenty
five per cent is required.
1.-The year has been n very gratifying
one in Kansas banking circles. as is
shown by the earnings, which will prob
ably be as great, if not greater than
during any previous year. AS compared
with year ago. there has been an in
crease IN the total deposits in the banks
of the state Of about $1ocoo,eoo."

SOLD FOR A SANlTARIUM.
Baptist College Property Bought by
Flat River Realty Company to be
Used as q Hospital
DR.. MAYFlelD ST. LOUIS, INTERESTED

The campus and buildings of the
Pennington Baptist College were
sold on last Thursday to the Flat
River Realty Company for $40,
600. Before the sale was made
an understanding was reached be
tween the Board Of Trustees and
the Realty Company, by which
the latter agreed to use the prop
erty rs a hospital.
Messrs. G.. NJ. London, II. S.
Whitener and other prominent
men of the lead belt, stockholders
in the Flat RIVER Realty Com,
pany, are among the purchasers OF
the property.
DR.. w. Ii. Mayfeld of st. Louis,
owner of the Mayfeld Sanitarium,
is also an interested party, and the
plans for conducting the new hos.
pital will probably be formed by
him. When the matter was men
toned to him during his visit to
the Carleton College commence
ment last week, he at once eX.
pressed his hearty approval of the
enterprise, and stated that he
would help in the movement. He
is of the opinion that the santa
rum, besides being a great benefit
to st. Francois county and the
whole of Southeast Missouri, will
also prove a paying investment.
1t is credibly stated that DR..
Mayfield will likely send some of
his patients from the Mayfeld San,
itarium to the local institution, es-
pecially those who are in need of
open country air.
The first movement for the pur-
chase of the college property to be
used as a hospital was instituted
by DR.. NJ. II. Topping some time
ago, but had not developed sufli-
ciently to perfect an organization,
though many local business men
had signifed their willingness to
take stock, and several of the local
physicians had manifested their
approval and interest in the enter
prise.
Rev. Il. V. Lamb of Flat River
has agitated the matter in the lead
belt and interested the Realty
Company in the enterprise. lie
and DR.. Topping will go to st.
Louis the latter part of this week
to discuss plans for conducting
the institution with DR.. Mayfeld.
The details of the sale will be
completed during the uext week T.,
and work of fitting up the build
ing will be begun as soon as the
deal is finished. Six acres in the
rear of the campus will be laid of
into town lots and sold within the
near future.

credit for having brought the suits
down to very small price per
suit. Other men slid they would
furnish suits for so much. Bar
ham came one-third lower than

course the miners will and should
