KELLY AFTER BOND.
Applies for $3.50, 900 Through a Wich-
ita Agent.

The Wichita Beacon of last night
says:
State Treasurer Thomas T. Kelly
was in the city yesterday and filed ap-
plication for a bond from the Fidelity
and Casualty company through the
agency of Coler Sim for $250,000. He
came in in the morning on the Santa
Fe, was in conference with Mr.. Sim
in the afternoon, when the matter was
talked over, and the latter decided to
make the application for the $250,000
to complete Mr.. Kelly's bond under
the new law.
1t is understood from auth oritative
Information that Mr.. Kelly has Sc
cured 100000 of the bond from two
trust companies in Topeka. The new
law calls for a bond of $750,000, which
is complete with the $250,0 900 through
the agency of Mr.. Sim.
Mr.. Kelly refused to discuss matters
in regard to the state treasury any
further than to say that he was not at
all alarmed at the present situation;
that he had complied with the law and
was not fearing any bad results from
his actions. He said that Governor
Hoch was trying very much to put him
in the limelight, but he feared no bad
results from this source.

COMING TO LIGHT.
Senator Depew Tells of Some Crooked
Equitable Deals.

New York, July 1.-THE World
tomorrow will say:
Revelations far more startling
than those in the report of Superin-
tendent Hendricks are contained in
the testimony taken in the state in
the Equitable Life Assurance society.
Senator Chauncey M. Depew testi-
fed that the Depew Improvement
company, in which he was interested,
obtained q loan from the Equitable of
$250,000 on property which the state
insurance department valued at only
$15O.000. He admitted that neither
principal nor interest had been paid,
and that the Equitable had been
forced to foreclose. He admitted that,
as a member of the executive COM
mittee of the Equitable he had not
advised this loan, but had voted for
it. He confessed to making promise
that the Equitable should be made
whole but in the same breath said
that promise was not legally binding.
Jacob H. Schiff, confronted with
records of the Equitable that Kuhn,
Loeb & Co. had sold large amount
of Union Pacific preferred stock to
the society, swore that these records
were false. In various sales of bonds
to the Equitable by his firm he ad-
rnitted that a large loss was shown.
He confessed that he had been a
dummy director, but said that since
the Equitable scandal developed he
had bought five shares of stock, pay
ing $4,000 a share.
'It appeared from his testimony
that of Mr.. yde and others, that the
Equitable had taken 100000 worth
of Union Pacific preferred, appar-
emily at the suggestion of e. H Har-
riman. It appeared that this stock
was under a syndicate agreement that
it should not be sold, making the deal
a speculative one No record of this
agreement was put in evidence. Mr.
Hyde said Hartman had it. but Har-
riman was not called as a Witness -

station before his examination.
A Political Crime.
st. Petersburg, July 1.-THE assas-
sination of prefect of police, Count
Shuvaloff, of Moscow, today is consid-
cred to be a purely political crime, as
the count was not yet forty years of
best type OF Russian officials. He came
from one of the most famous families
in Russia. The count was a son of
Count Peter Shuvaloff, the statesman
who represented Russia at the Berlin
conference, was formerly colonel of the
60e1i0 LCS4II1Cll hllOWn DIS Zig 81 1Sl-

Nicholas personal friends. AS prefect

washington, July lit is, felt at
the department of justice that not
withstanding the opinion of the
United States district attorney on the
facts presented in the secret service
report on the cotton leak, he did not
think a prosecution would lie, a re-

tend to alter that opinion. 1t is
known that President Roosevelt has
taken a hand in the matter and di-
rected that nothing be left undone to
punish the offenders if a way can
be found to do so.

Sinton and RobssOwn Now Connected BY
Bands Of Steel. Probable Change
Of Schedule.

A reporter for THE HERALD met
JEFF n. Miller, vice-president and
general manager OF the St. Louis,
Brownsville & Mexico railroad,
today, and from him learned that
the last spike had been driven on
the Sinton- Robstown branch, and
the two places were now connected
by bands Of steel. Surfacing Of
the track and all other necessary
work will be completed and the
road open for traffic BY the first Of
April. A new schedule has not as
yet been agreed upon, but the Gulf
Coast Line has taken the matter
up with General Manager Mon
serrate, Of the S. A. A. p, and as
soon as he is heard from the new
schedule will be announced. a
cnange III the time OF arrival ana
departure of trains here will be ne
cessary, in order to make proper
connections with the Sap at Ken
edy, either for San Antonio or
Houston, but just what the changes
will be is not given out. Just
think of IT, Less than "a hours
from Brownsville TO San Antonio
or Houston, and compare it with
the time taken one year ago for
the same trip. The change is so
great our citizens can hardly real
lie the fact.

The sage who said Competition
is the life of trade" should have
further added that Advertising is
the life Of business. which state
ment undoubtedly would have inn
mortalized him. Tn this connec-
ton it is q well established fact
an iucontrovertible truth-that The
more Of this life a man iujects
into his business the greater will
be the measure of his success in
the industrial world. Tn this day
advertising is as essential to the
success of any business venture,
great or small. as food and drink
are in sustaining life a human
being may get along for a brief
period with little or nothing to
quench his thirst or satisfy his
hunger, and the manufacturer or
merchant likewise may do business
for a time, perhaps, without ad-
vertising, but in each case it IS
only a question of days and weeks
when the fast will bring dis
solution. This is the history and
law of business, as well as physical
life, and the man who does not
recognize this fact IS short sighted,
if not lacking entirely in breadth
of commercial thought and business
acumen. He is behind the times.
He will sooner or later be among
the failures. This, too, is the his
tory of trade; it is simply the
inevitable process of business logic
and evolution, and every reader of
this article has seen it exemplihed
a thousand times in the business
world around him.-Western Pub
