desire to have their contracts as state
repositories rescinded, that the con-
tracts can not be rescinded,
but viii continue to be binding for
the term for which they were made
Some of the bankers think that they
are not getting all the state money
they should be allowed to keep, and
they are tired Of having a large amount
of bonds on deposit with the state and
no state money in their possession. One
reason why the banks have not had az
much state money as they might is be-
cause Treasurer T. T. Kelly has dis
regarded the law and has kept more
money in the Topeka depository than
that bank is authorized to handle at
least for portions of the time. Mr..
Coleman holds, however. that the banks
can substitute securities for those al
ready on deposit, provided the value is
not impaired.

ARMOUR GETS THE BUTTERNE
VIII supply State Institutions With
All They Want.

The Armour Packing company, of
Kansas City, has been awarded the
butterine contract by the state board
of control for all the charitable insti-
tutions Of the state. The price is a
fiat rate Of $11.6S per 100 pounds for
all institutions in the state. This is
several cents higher than the price
paid six months ago.
The butterine which the board pur-
chased this time is supposed to be of
exceptionally good quality. Armour
offered two grades, one at S10.23 and
one at $11.6S. Swift made a price of
$10.49 at the Topeka hospital. and a
similar price plus freight to other in
stitutiOns Hammond, of st. Joseph,
bid $12.24 for Topeka. with other
institutions in proportion.
Thousands of pounds of butterine
are used at the various state institu-
tons. The laws. require that the
same goods purchased for the inmates
shall be eaten by the officers, and the
officers are therefore supposed to eat
butterine. AS matter of fact. how
ever at institutions where a herd of
COWS is kept there is good chance
for the officers to get genuine butter.
The meat contracts were pretty we'll
divided, but Wolff of Topeka secured
the contracts for heifer and steer
sides in a number of the biggest in
stitutions. He will also furnish near
~ all the lard used by the state in
stitutions.

AUDITOR WELLS DID RIGHT.
Attorney General C. c. Coleman APP
proves His Action

Attorney General Coleman has sus-
tanned the action of State Auditor
Wells by refusing to instruct Mr.. Wells
to issue d patent for some state land
in Wallace county which had been ad-
vertised only three weeks and three
days instead of the full four weeks re-
quired by the law.
When Auditor Wells refused to issue
a patent for the land, he advised the
county attorney of Wallace county to
take the matter up with Attorney Gen
eral Coleman. and that If Mr.. Coleman
advised him that the patent should be
issued, he would issue 1t. The opinion
of the attorney general is that the law
must be strictly followed, and the
property must be readvertised for the
full term of four weeks.
Attorney General Coleman has also
given an opinion to certain bankers who

Against Anti-Pass Law.

A committee representing. the en-

Santa Fe Railway company in this
city have sent letter and petition to
Congressman Charles Curtis, protest
ing against the anti-pass feature Of the
railroad rate bill which prohibits the
issuance of passes to employees of rail-
roads and their families. The letter
follows:
Topeka, June IA, 1906.
Hon. Charles Curtis. House of Repre-
sentatives, Washington, D. c.:
Twenty-Five hundred employees of
the offices and shops of the Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe Railway company
at Topeka, Kansas, earnestly protest
against the passage 1of the anti-pass
provision of the rate bill as adopted
by the conference committee, so far as
1t prohibits free passes for railroad
employees and their families. There is
no public demand for such legislation
and it would work a great hardship
upon railroad employees, who consider
free transportation a reward for
meritorious service. We urgently re-
quest that the Kansas delegation in
congress work and vote against the en-
actment of such provision. Petition

BIG SALE OF GASOLINE.
Passes kerosene in Amount sold in
Kansas.

More gasoline than kerosene was
sold in the state of Kansas during the
month Of May, according to the report
of the state oil inspector, 7. T. Hussey,
fled today. This nnusaI condition,
which has not existed before during
Mr.. Hussey's administration, is due to
the Increasing consumption of gasoline
engines of various kinds. Automobiles
are multiplying in number, and farm
erS are substituting Wlndmllls with the
more dependable little 'chuggers.
At the same time the Increasing use
of natural gas for light and fuel is
cutting down the market for kerosene
oil.
For the month OF May the oil in
spection department passed 1919 bar
rels Of gasoline and 1898 barrels OF
kerosene.
The total amount of cash which Mr..
Hussey's department turned into the
state, above the expense OF deputy
hire, was s1.919.6S. as compared with
$1,51O.44 in May of 1905.
The Independent refineries continue
to increase their production. OF the
1888 barrels of kerosene sold in the
state 2.263 were manufactured by
Kansas independent oil refineries. Be
sides this the Independents sold eonsid-
cradle oil outside the state, which does
not show on the Kansas reports. The
manufacture of gasoline by the indie
pendents. however, amounted to only
$50 barrels. Only a few of the indie
pendent rehneries are fixed to save the
gasoline element.
The following was the May produc-
ton of various Kansas independents:
Uncle Sam refinery, 1,0S2 barrels
kerosene. 200 barrels gasoline.
Great Western, Erie, 100 kerosene,
90 gasoline
Webster, Humboldt. 142 kerosene. 40
gasoline.
Superior refinery, 374 kerosene, 100

get in bed and get warm, my whole body
would begin to itch and my finger nails
would keep it irritated, and it was not
long before l could not rest night or day.
A friend asked me to try the Cuticura
Remedies, and l did, and the first appli-
cation helped me wonderfully. For
