contributing largely to the aggregate
Banking liabilities were also abnormal
~ heavy in Ohio, but small in other
states of this section.
There was also a large increase in
both number and liabilities of failures
in the far west, the most noticeable
change occurring in Minnesota, where
20 more failures were reported, and the
amount Involved more than doubled.
Iowa made less satisfactory exhibit
than last year, although the difference
was not striking except as to banking
suspensions, which were both numerous
and heavy. A decrease of go failures
in Kansas was not productive of any
contraction in the total sum involved.
Oklahoma and Colorado reported large
financial disasters, but commercial con-
Germs showed no evidence of weakness.
A large increase in number of failures
on the Pacific coast was not accom-
panied by any heavier amount involved,
and California reported $1,o00.0O0 small
er liabilities. Washington reported 100
more failures with about 100000, or 90
per cent heavier Indebtedness than in
the corresponding nine months of 1903.

TAKES OUT BIG POLICY.
Woman VIII Carry 100000 of Life
Insurance.

Chicago, Oct. 13.-Mrs. Charles
Netcher, owner of a down town de-
partment store, is following in the
footsteps of her late husband. When
he decided to build on his property
he insured his life for $780, 900, so
that in the event of his death the
plans might not be interfered with.
Mrs. Netcher, having taken up the
burden dropped by her husband on
June 20, when he died, has decided
to do likewise.
Four large insurance companies
in the east have agreed to issue a
100000 policy on her life. One COM
pany will take 100000 of the risk
and the three others 100000 each.
The companies decline to state what
the yearly premium will be, but it is
understood that the rate is higher than
that paid by Mr.. Netcher. He had
made only one yearly payment when
he died.

WOMAN REFoRMER is HERE.
Miss Mabel Biggart, Preacher, Lee
turer and Writer, Stops in Topeka.

Miss Mabel Biggart, one of the noted
women ethnologists, lecturer, writer,
preacher and reformer is in the city
stopping at the Copeland hotel on her
way east. She and Rev. Charles NJ.
Sheldon are great friends, their line of
work being much of the same character.
Miss Biggart may preach here on Sun
day. She says, however, that she came
to rest, and put manuscript into shape
for eastern and English magazines, for
which she is writing.
Miss ~Biggart has encompaSsed the
world in her travels. She has lived with
the Indians, the Eskimos, the Laplan-
ders and many of the so-called I'M
known tribes. But her closest studies
were made of the Navajo Indians and
she offers a panacea for their relief.
Better sanitary condition and water,
is her prescription.
As writer Miss Biggart eXcels. AL
most every month a story of hers APP
pears in either one of the big English
or American magazines. She has a
purpose, namely, the true exposition
of conditions in the human family. Her
delineations are not only defined to the
unknown tribes" but to the so-called
civilized races as well.
There are social Christians, geo
graphical Christians, business Chris
tians. and other kinds says Miss Big
CART. They need education just as
well as the Indians OF the Eskinlos. We
have plenty of work right in our own
door-yardS-Work that must be done,
too"
Miss Biggart has had dramatized
George E1iot's Adam Bede," and gives
it in lecture form. st met George Eliot
the last year of her life said Miss Big
CART. II know all of her people now
who are still living in England"
Miss Biggart has lived in the British
country and preached and lectured
there. She was offered a passionate in
England but declined it, because it
entailed an enforced stay of eight years
and she felt that it might at least in a
way ALLEVIATE her from America.
Miss Biggart is an interesting woman
to talk to. Small in stature, dark of
hair. eyes and complexion, with sweet
winning ways, and a, soft rolling way
down east voice." she impresses one as
serious and purposeful in her work
and ambitions

OFF FOR THE PHILIPPINES.
Troops From Leavenworth VIII Pass
Through Topeka Saturday.

The second squadron of the Fourth
cavalry from Fort Leavenworth num-
bering about 400 officers and men, will
pass through Topeka on the Santa Fe
Saturday en- route to San Francisco.
The second squadron is being trans
ferred to the Philippine islands and
an equal number of men are being
brought back from the islands who
will have headquarters at Fort Leav-
enworth.
The train will consist of about twen-
ty cars. Two standard Pullman cars
are provided for the officers, seven
tourist cars for the soldiers and a pal
ace horse car for the officers horses.
Eight box cars and two baggage cars
are required to take care of the lug
gage and paraphernalia of the squad
ron.
The horses of the cavalrymen will
not be transferred on account of the
heavy freight tariffs which the gov
eminent would have to pay in trans
porting four hundred horses to and
from the Pacific coast.

SPOONER GOES DOWN
Stalwart Leaders Refuse to Take
Down Ticket i'm Wisconsin.

Milwaukee, Wis. Oct. 13.-Fighting to
carry out the wishes of President
Roosevelt, Senator John G. Spooner
went down before the united and grim
determination of the Wisconsin stall
warts to continue the fight against
Governor La Toilette. After four hours
of discussion, and, at times, of heated
oratory, it was decided by a unanimous
vote to continue the Stalwart Republi-
can ticket, headed by former Governor
Scofield, in the field.
When the meeting opened the senator
spoke briefly seeing it was useless to
attempt to stem the current. He call
ed attention to the danger to the Re
publican county tickets and also re
ferred in a few words to the danger to
the electoral ticket. Those who spoke
for continuing the ticket took the
ground that the electoral ticket would
be in in no danger whatever, for the
reason that Roosevelt would carry the
state in spite of anything that might
occur, and carry the Republican tickets
with him.

WINCHELL COMING.
Rock Island President Will Visit To-
peka to Talk Business.

President B. L. Winchell, of the
Rock Island railroad, in a letter to
President w. w. Mills, of the Topeka
Commercial club, states that he will
come to Topeka and discuss with the
representative business men of the city
the ACCESSIBILITY of returning to Topeka
the traffic and operating offices which
were moved away from here a few
years ago.
President Winchell, of the Rock Is
land, is cogniZant of the fact that since
the traffic departments were removed
from Kansas that the road has suffer-
ed losses in the traffic department. The
Kansas division was formerly one of
the best paying divisions on the Rock
Island, but such is not the case at
present.
1t is generally believed that the Rock
Island will soon undergo a thorough
organization, similar to that already
begun on the Frisco system. 1t may
take weeks for the plans to be COM
pleteIy worked out, but the time now
seems ripe for Topeka to make efforts
looking towards the establishment
of the offices in Topeka which were re-
moved to Kansas City.
Mr.. Winchell promises to come to
Topeka for the purpose of discussing
the whole subject with the citizens of
the city, and it is considered quite like
ly that the visit will be in the very
near future.

RUSSIANS WHIPPED.
That Is the View Taken of the Sit
uation at Toxic.

Toxic, Oct. 13.-2 p. MT is yet
too early to measure the results of
the tremendous struggle which has
been waged for the past three days
south of Mukden, but all reports
reaching Toxic indicate that General
KurOpatkin has been deciSively
whipped and severely punished. The
Russian commander was evidently
caught while making his dispositions
with his forces scattered and he was
beaten before he could recover.
Much depends on the ability and the
resolution of the Japanese in applying
and following up their advantages.
Kuropatkin may turn upon favorable
ground and succeed in beating back
the Japanese onslaught, but the tide
seems against him.
The Japanese yesterday began AIDES
perate effort to turn the Russian night
and if this effort should be successful
it will carry disaster to the Russian
arms.
The struggle around Benzilu is being
followed with intense interest here. The
Russian force there is estimated at five
thousand, and it's isolation or loss
would be a severe blow.
Estimates of the total forces engaged
vary. One telegram from Lao Yang
says that the Russians have two hum
bred thousand men with 1000 guns.
The Japanese force exceeds the number
engaged at the battle of Lao Yang.

A decrease of about 81, 00O, 900 in liabiIi-
ties in the Empire state was about men,
tralized by a similar increase for Penn

New Jersey supplied the net change for
the section.
An increase of $780, 900 in liabilities
of failures in the southern states is
largely explained by the fire insurance
disasters in Maryland and a big real
estate collapse in the District of Column
bia.
A moderate increase in the five large

GIRLS STILL PRISONERS.
Dispute Over Geishas Is Transferred
to Washington.

st. Louis, NO. Oct. 13.-Thez case
of the seventeen Geisha girls who re-

try by the Japanese government, has
been referred to the authorities at
Washington. A detailed report of the
controversy has been sent to Immi-
grafton Commissioner F. p. Sargent.
1t is believed by Sheridan and Sheri-
dan, attorneys for the girls, that James
r. Dunn, inspector-in-charge of the
st. Louis bureau of immigration, will
receive orders to take charge of the
girls and that a public hearing will
be given them by that official.
In the meantime the girls are held
prisoners in their rooming house and
the only persons who are allowed to
see them are their attorneys and Com
missioner General Tejima of Japan.

WHO IS JULIUS KATTsTEIN?
The Austrian Consul Wants to Hear
About Him.

Ever hear of Julius KattStein? It's
a good foreign name, and is in itself
sufficient evidence that r. Diehm, Aus
trian consul<at St. Louis, has right
to be interested in the man.
Consul Diehm writes to Mayor Ber-
gundthal for some information about
Kattstein. He says that it is report
ed to him that the man died in To-
peka some time ago at 314 Chandler
street, and in order to settle up his
estate proof of his death must be fur
nished. The mayor turned the mat
ter over to the health department,
and the mortuary records are being
examined by r. P. Pay. He has gone
back as far as 1900, and no record of
the death has been discovered.
1T would be great thing for To-
peka to have it's health department
records kept in some sort of shape
so that they would be of some use to
the public in cases of this kind.
