100 MILLIONS ESCAPE
That Amount Of Deposits In Kansas
Banks Escape Taxation.

Topeka, Kans., July 1S-Figures
compiled today in the Office of the
state auditor show that more than 100
snillion dollars on deposit in Kansas
banks escaped taxation this year.
The county assessors, in their search
for taxable property on March 1,
could find only s4,393, 391, yet the
report made to the bank commissioner
fourteen days later showed that the
banks had on deposit 1913 million dol
Ears, and, the report made sixty days
Eater showed that the deposits aggre-
gated S104, S41, 566.S2. While it is
Impossible to ascertain the exact num-
Der of mortgages owned in the state,
the. assessors reports show that the
value of those returned for taxation
CEas only s3,S23,757.
AS compared with the 200 million
dollars in money and mortgages which
escaped taxation during the year, the
railroads, farmers, and merchants of
the state are paying much more than
their just proportion of the taxes.
While the amount of money on de-
post in the banks of the state has in
creased several millions of dollars
'syithin the last year, the money. re-
turned for taxation has increased only
100000. Stanton is the only county
IN the state which reports no money
owned'in the county. No report has
been received from Wilson county,
but that is expected within few days.
Stanton not only reports NO money
but the assessors could find no shares
in banks owned in the county and no
mortgages. Crawford. Grant, Greeley,
: Haskell and Morton also report no
mortgages.
a remarkable feature of the report
i. IS the. fact that nearly all of the coun-
ties IN the eastern part of the state
show decreases in the amount of
money owned as compared with the
return made year ago, while the
western counties show increases. A
notable exception among eastern
counties is Miami, in which the money

Denver, July 19.-The ways and
means committee of the Western
Federation of Miners appealed to the
Red Cross society yesterday to take
charge of the distribution OF funds
and the general relief work for fami-
lies of deported miners in Cripple
Creek district. The union miners
have plenty of funds at their COM
mand with which to furnish the fanii-
lies of the deported men with all the
necessities. But the militia viii not
permit the miners to supply provisions
or funds, and the families will accept
nothing from the soldiers.

Will Send Vessels to Red Sea.

Toxic, July 20.-There is good
authority for saying that the japanese
foreign Office has instructed the am
bassador in London to call the atten-
ton of the British government to the
violation of the Berlin treaty, involved
in the passage of the Russian war
ships through the Dardanelles and to
Sc all possible means tosecure action
by Great Britain which will Keep the
balance of the Russian Black Sea
squadron bottled up. The possible
steps of Great Britain and Germany
about the action of the Russian aux
iliary cruisers in the Red sea is await
ed with keen interest.
Japan is not depending entirely on
diplomacy, however, to settle the Red
Sea situation. 1t is understood now
that instead of regular cruisers, the
Fesrce sent to deal with the Russian
raiders consists of two or three fast
merchant ships, which have been
converted into heavily armored aux
iliary cruisers. They carry coal
enough to make them independent
for an extended cruise.

of a stranger was brought here from
Bridgeport last evening. The man
was killed in the little town some
time last night. The body was found
near the railroad early this morning
with a bullet hole in the head. The
only thing on the body that may lead
to Identification was an employment
bureau check issued at Springfield,
Mo. The man was dressed as a har-
vest hand, and had transportation
from Springfield to Great Bend, Kan.
There is but little doubt that he was

in Missouri. From the position of
The body and the wound, it would
seem that the man was shot while
running. His pockets did not seem
to have been rifed nor was there any
evidence of struggle. A pocket

officers found on the body The cor
oner and deputy sheriff went to

 Dr. Dolley of Casa Grande is a visitor ip Florence

 The only and inimitable member of the Schil'ing family (one Bones by name) is in Florence during court, help ing the Florentines to pass the time away and trying to make life beagable by his pleasantries.
 A dance will be given this evening in the dining room of the Florence hcteI, and judging from the large numbcr of visitors in town on business and other wise, the event ought to be big sue cess.

ton to instructions from any source.
 The only fight will be on the recom- mepdation of a national committeeman 1 but the delegates believe that will be
 arranged by compromise so that none
 of the candidates heretofore mentioned will get it. The leading candidates,
 that is those most actively engaged in
 the struggle are Thomas E. Parish and
 Eugene Brady O'Neill. The claim of
 each of them is based upon his activity
 in favor of Hearst. MT. Parish is sup
 posed to be the original Hearst man of
 Arizona, but MT. O'Neill has been
 looked upon as the representative in
 the territory of the Hearst interests. He
 is regarded as the man who swung
 the south for Hearst when it seemed a foregone conclusion that it would be solid against instructions, and it is said that while he was framing up the southern delegations he took pains to see that they would not be unfriend- ly to his own ambitions.
 His friends do not believe that the charge that he assisted the republicans of Phoenix two years ago, and acted as challenger at the First ward polls will cut any figure. They point out that political lines were not drawn in that struggle anyhow; that the main issue was a municipal water system and that a good many democrtas of the First ward voted for the republican candi- date for councilman because he was m favor of a city water works system.
 Also a curious view is taken of the conduct of MT. O'Nein by some old time democrats. They argue that in the present territorial convention slip two years ago ought not to count against MT. O'Neill for the reason that this is not a democratic convention. That it is made up of socialists, silver republicans, labor men and that it is a Hearst convention. That therefore a | mans democratic record cannot prop erly be taken into consideration. They | also point out that Hearst himself has i set a precedent as a bolter and that ln ! consequence it is quite proper that the | national committeeman should haze | been a bolter from the democratic i ticket
 Early in the campaign he name of | Col ". c. Greene was considered iu | with the office of national | but Col. Greene was an | lnti- Hearst man, and when he and his | friends were defeated in the south hel ceased to be a possibility. But it has been suggested that in view of the bit CT contest between Parish and O'Nein hat t would be a good thing for party | if the anti Hearst element Iaving been overwhelmingly defeated mould be given something now.

Catnrrh Cured.
All phases of catarrh, acute or chronic,
are promptly and permanently cured.
1t is through its operation upon the ner-

such worldwide reputation as sure
and reliable remedy for all phases Of
catarrh wherever located.
Mr.. Jas. o. Norm, 1l79 Ontario street

" Peruna is certainly great catarrh
remedy. 1t cured me Of catarrh of the
head and gladly indorse it. Canadians
are peculiarly afflicted with this disease
and for years the doctors have tried to
overcome it with elixirs, powders and
pills, but Peruna has solved the question
and since the medicine has been estab-
lished here hundreds of people have
been cured of catarrh." Jas. o. Norm.
