AT THE PLAY LAST NIGHT.

Helen GRAVITY appeared at the Craw-
ford last night as the star in the 70,
mantle drama 1.-The Palace of the King
In the Palace of the King. F. Mar
ion Crawford's novel, was dramatized
for Viola Allen and she was the star of
the play in New York when it was pro-
duced in 1900. Helen GRAVITY lives in
Omaha. Two years ago she played as
leading lady for Charles B. Hanforo
mart of the season and she appeared to
advantage Since then Miss GRAVITY
has been playing in various productions
first used in New York by stars and
them farmed out to lesser lights. Miss
GRAVITY last season tried 1.-The Girl and
the Judge" which had a precarious run
in the east.
Miss GRAVITY convinced the few who
saw her at the Crawford that she is not
the chosen one to follow in the footsteps
of Viola Allen. Her supporting COM
pany was not up to the standard re-
ouired in the play.

NEW KANSAS RAILROAD.
Proposed to Build One from Wichita
to Denver

A charter was today granted to the
Wichita, Arkansas City & Denver Rail-
road copany. It proposes to build a
line from Wichita through Kinsley, Jet
more and Scott City, to Denver. Senator
Fred Dumont Smith. was here today
and secured the charter.
The proposition seems to be one of
Kinsley business men. The company
is capitalized for $780, 900 and the di-
rectors, all of whom live at Kinsley,
Pearson, Levi S. Smith, NJ. D. Gonder,
L. F. Beal, F. F. Tatum, G. E. Wilson,
F. D. West, NJ. Schnatterly and NJ. G.
Tubbs.
In speaking of the proposition today
Senator Smith said:
THE corporation is composed of the
solid business men of Kinsley, repre-
senting more than one million dollars
capital, and is backed by eastern par
ties. The road will run through the
richest grain and cattle territory of
Kansas, and through the most of it's
land in Kansas will be from Is to so
miles from any other railroad, opening
up territory that has now no railroad
facilities and relieving to some extent
the CONGESTION of the grain belt from
Hodgeman county east. 1t will be As
miles shorter from Kinsley to Wichita
than any other road, and 141 miles
shorter from Denver to Wichita than
any other. Wichita people are taking
a strong interest in the new road as it
will bring an immense and valuable
trade to that town. The survey is COM
pleted to the northwest line of Hodge
man county, nearly all the right of
way is secured, and elections will be
called at once to vote on bond PROPOSE
tions. The proposition seems to be a
good one, and is backed by strong con-
sentative men, and if any railroad can
be built at this time, the Wichita, Ar
kansas Valley & Denver railroad seems
to have a chance"

NO DEPOSITS LEFT.
Cashier Marcel Took All but
$500 in the Bank.

Chicago, Jan 8.-A dispatch to the
Tribune from st. Joseph, Mo, says:
The latest revelations of the defalca-
lions in the Bank of Highland, Kan, by
Cashier J. E. MARCEL, show an aggre-
gate loss of over $3.50, 900. OF this $67, 900
is on account of deposits made for the
most part by the farmers and stock
raiserS of Doniphan county, Kansas. In
the hands of State Bank Examiner S. G.
drummer is less than $1,000, this sum
being the amount of money in the bank
at the time it was taken in charge.
There are notes of the face value of
$57 900. one-half of which are pro-
nounced worthless. 1t is also stated
that new note for $4,000 has turned
up in the hands of the Pioneer Trust
company of Kansas City.
Cashier MARCEL has been removed
from his home in Highland to the coun-
ty jail in Troy, where he is under heavy
guard to prevent injury. When MARCEL
was arraigned before a justice of the
peace he entered a plea of not guilty
to the numerous charges of forgery and
was admitted to bail on a bond of S. 900
in each count. He said that he still had
faith in his ability to restore order if
he were permitted to exercise his own
judgment.
Reports which come to Topeka today
from Highland state. that State Bank
cash in the bank The deposits at the
time the bank was closed amounted to
over 900; 1t is also stated that over
$4,000 worth of forged paper has turned
up against MARCEL.
The cause of Marcen's alleged forger-
les and failure is said to have been his
gambling in grain. He has been at it for
some tins j aeo Oyer year 9 a5S ood he lost
turned his head and he went to plungng
more than ever. He built himself fine
home in Highland and went into grain
speculation so deeply that the forged
paper was necessary to cover up his
losses.
MARCEL owns two-thirds of the stock of
the bank and the capital stock is only
| 500 900, it will be difficult to collect a
very large amount from the stockholders
under the double liability law.

New York, Jan. S.-For some time the

of the estate. Though no order was is

toner says he has paid out for those
purposes the whole or greater part of

Petitioner further informs the court
that Esther Cummings has arrived at
legal age and that large sums of money
have been advanced to her. toward her
education, which have not been charged
against her by him because not incurred
or authorized by him. Now a demand
is made on him to pay the person who
made the advances. Therefore, besides
asking approval of his accounts, he
prays that the court make such other
orders in the matter as to it may seem

GIST OF DECISION.

The following extracts from the syl-
Iabus give the gist of the decision on
all points considered:
'An assessor holds bond given to
him by his deputy under c. l., Sec. S42.
for the benefit of the Territory and not
merely for his own protection"
"A statement that one of the sureties
had been given permission to withdraw
from the bond, signed by the assessor
and written in the margin of the bond
below the names of the witnesses and
above the certificate of approval of the
bond, is an independent collateral
agreement, and not an alteration or
spoifation of the bond.
AN assessor can not by an independ-
ent collateral agreement release a sure
ty on such a bond so as to defeat an
action upon it against the sureties for
the benefit of the Territory"
THE admission against the sureties
of admissions made by the principal
after the expiration of his term is
harmless error, when there is ample
other uncontradicted evidence of the
fact and amount of the shortage, in
Guiding admissions made before the ex-
piration of the term.
The treasurer's acceptance, from the
delinquent deputy assessor, of l. o. Us
of other persons to the amount or in
excess of the amount of the shortage
does not operate as payment or salts
faction so as to release the sureties from
liza biIity, if the 1. Q. US were accepted
for collection or for what they were
worth, even if the treasurer had au-
thority to accept them in full satisfac-
ton at ALL"
