The doctor suspected Japanese fisher

gaining access from the water in their

The State Will Make Effort TO Recover
Funds at Once.
THREE SUITS HAVE BEEN FILED.
Money Lost in Devin Bank Failure
Aggregates $3.50, ooo-Action Begun
In District Court to Collect Bank

Topeka. Kan, Aug. 28.-Three suits.
aggregating $S5O,000, were CON-
menced in the district court by At
torney General C. c. Coleman, repre-
senting the state of Kansas, against
bondsmen of State Treasurer T. T.
Kelly, to recover state funds which
were in the hands of the First Ma
tional Bank of Topeka at the time of
it's failure
The first suit is for 100000, and is
brought against the Title Guaranty
and Trust Company of Scranton, Pa,
and T. T. Kelly.
The second suit is for $3.50, 900, and
is brought against the Fidelity and
Guarantee Company, of Baltimore,
Md, and T. T. Kelly.
The third suit is for 100000, and
is brought against the First Nation
al Bank, William Sims, C. f. Noel. w
H. Rossington and c. J. Devlin. This
action is being brought to collect the
amount of the bond given by the bank
officials to secure state deposits.
The amount of state money in the
First National Bank at the time of the
failure was S547, 575.O6.
In speaking about the suits Gov.
HOch said:

The state has to recover the lost
funds and the only way in which we

tuition which was carried down by the

Statistics gathered in San Francis

Americans in large number of occu-

Few persons outside the Carnegie

years the laird of Skibo looked after
all sorts of minor business details, but

so MIkADo LIVES.
Oftimes Too Engrossed in Work &c
Take His Meals.


When reporting the victories of
their armies and fleets, it is very
much the fashion of Japanese gener-
ais and admirals to attribute their
triumphs to the glorious virtue" OF
the emperor. That this is not mere
figure of speech was shown by the
account given by a Japanese concern
ing the Mikado's daily life and work.
The emperor rises at $50 every
morning. and, after a simple break
fast, proceeds to the apartments in
which he transacts the affairs of gov
eminent. Here he works strenuously
all day. examining all the memorials
and official documents received, and
giving audiences to his ministers, Off
GERS starting for the front, and 9TH
ers.
Often he becomes so engrossed in
his work that he hardly finds time to
take his meals. Even at the close of
the days business he will attend to
urgent affairs, and does not complain
If these keep him from his bed.
During the whole period of the war
it is said he has almost abandoned
exercise and recreation. He takes an
anxious interest in the welfare of his
soldiers and sailors, and has been
known to forego the comfort of a
stove in the cold weather, using in
stead the tiny "hibachi," or Japanese
fire box, so that there should not be
too sharp a contrast between lis own
surroundings and those of his troops
in the cold and snow of Manchuria.
