KANSAS BANKER TOOK ALL.
Made Highest Bid For $4,000, 900 OF
Certificates.

Washington, April 1s.-The name of
c. S. Jobes, president of the American
National bank, of Kansas City, and
connected with a number of Kansas
banks, will be better known in the
financial centers of New York than
that of any other Western financier.
Representatives of the biggest Eastern
financial concerns will be some time in
recovering from the surprise which
the Kansas City banker prepared for
them in getting hold of the $4,000, 900
certificates of indebtedness for which
the bids were opened in the insular bu-
reau of the war department.
About forty minutes before the open
ing of the bids Jobes quietly walked
into the office and submitted bid,
after politely inquiring whether such
bid from him would be received.
When the hour struck, and the bids
were read, it suddenly developed that
the West had completely turned the
tables on the East in one of the most
important financial transactions of the
year. BY combining all of his other
partial bids for small amounts up to
the total amount of the S3,000,000, it
was found that his bid was better than
the combinations.

Overall Factory at Lansing.

Leavenworth, Kans,, April 16.-The
board of directors of the. Kansas peni-
Tertiary have decided to permit the
establishment of an overall factory, to
be operated by prison labor. An over
all manufacturing company, of which
Richard Syringe is the manager, has
leased the labor of fifty prisoners for
six years at forty-five and one-half
cents day. The prisoners are to work
ten hours day. The factory will be
in the building formerly used as shoe
factory. The state is to supply motive
power, light, water and everything
necessary to run the machines. Since
the shoe manufacturers have with
drawn from the penitentiary there are
many more convicts than the state has
ways of employing.

Carnegie Creates a Hero Fund.

Pittsburg, April 10. Andrew Car

for the benefit of "the dependents of
those losing their lives in heroic effort
to save their fellowmen, or for the
heroes themselves if injured only"
Provision is also made for medals to be
given in commemoration of heroic
acts. The endowment is to be known
as "the hero fund" and consists of first
collateral per cent bonds of the Uni

fund is the United States and Canada

one could tell but little of it now.
Much of this, no doubt, was exaggera-
ton. this talk of a graveyard, OF a
doubled street, of murders, OF the
legal killings which served as arrests,
of the lynchings which once passed as
instice. There was crude story OF
the first court ever held in Ellisvllle'
hut of course 1t was mere libel to say
that it was held in the livery barn.
Humor said that the trial was over
the case of a negro, or Mexican, OF
Indian, who had been charged with
murder. and who was himself killed
in an attempt at lynching, by whose
hand it was never known. These
things were remembered or talked
about by but very few, these the Old
timers. the settlers Of two years ago.
Somewhere to the north OF the town,
and in the center of what was de-
clared by some persons to be the old
cattle trail, there was reputed to be
visible a granite boulder, or perhaps 1t
was a granite shaft, supposed to have
tbeen erected. with money contributed
by oattlemen at the request OF Mrs
DAILY, who kept the boarding house on
a back street. Some one had seen this
monument, aud brought back word
that it had cut upon its face a singular
inscription, namely:

SAVING by Metric System.

The United States Statistician says
two-thirds of a school year would bel

putting the metric system in place OF
the other twelve or thirteen systems.

Something in his voice made Frank

he.

Now there came upon the face OF
the country faint scars where wheels
had cut into the hard soil, these va

royal, highway of the cattle, but cross

mairi-traveled roads, though more Of
ten straying aimlessly off over the
prairie to end at the homestead OF
some farmer. These new houses were
dark land low and brown, with the ex-
ceptfon that each few miles the travel

painted white. Here and there over
the country were broken rows OF little
yellow, faded trees struggling up out
of the hard earth. The untiring
wheels of windmills could be seen
everywhere at their work.
In the town of Ellisville the great
heap of buffalo bones was gone from
the side of the railroad track. There
were many wagons now, but none
brought In bones to pile up the rail-
way; for even the bones of the buffalo
were now gone forever.
The Land Office was yet at Ellis
Vile. and the rush of settlers was con-
tinuous. Ellisville had thirty business
houses and two thousand inhabitants.
1t had large railway shops and the d.
vision offices of the road. 1t had two
schoolhouses always the schoolhouse

six buildings of two stories, two build

brick.
The stranger who asked for the old,
wild days of Ellisville the Red was
told that no such days had ever been.

dozen men who had lived at Ellisville

Japanese torpedo boats which crept
behind and awaited his return and

HOW INDIANS ARE NAMED.

Major Frank Terry, who is IN
charge Of the Indian school on the
Puyallup Reservation, is thus quoted
by the Tacoma Washington Ledger:
'"Translations Of Indian names, as
rule, have been unsatisfactory, though
there are exceptions. The case is re-
ported from the Pawnee Reservation,
Oklahoma, of an Indian named Coo
rux-ruh- rah-ruk-koo. The literal in
depreciation of his name as given to
me is MISUNDERSTANDING.
With this Interpretation the agent
named him Fearing B. Wilde AS

from time to time. each OF which
gives him a new name. For example,
he may see a bear and run screaming

which he has plucked from the tall OF

will be known as 'Gives-feather.' bun
