WILL GET II PER CENT
Third First National Bank Dividend
Formally Declared.

Depositors and creditors of the de-
funct First National bank will receive
IL per cent dividend. This makes the
third dividend. The two former divi-
dends have returned 20 per cent to the
depositors and this third dividend
brings up the total amount paid to so
per cent.
The announcement was made last ev-
ening by Receiver James T. Bradley.
who received check from the
Assets Realization company Of Chicago
which had purchased the assets remain
ing in the hands of the receiver. This
check for $164. 900 made possible the de-
claration of a dividend
The formal authorization for the div
idend has not yet been received by the
receiver from the comptroller OF the
currency but Is expected Dy the HrsI
of next week.
The IL per cent dividend represents
something like 100000 and only $4,000
is lacking to make the dividend one OF
1917 per cent.
made near the end of August. Over l.
500 checks will have to be made out,
the dividends to each person helng ng-
ured out first and then the schedults
the checks must go through the hands
of the comptroller's department and nm
ally returned to Topeka. TITS Will ali
take considerable time. There stu re-
mains some 100000 OF DevIin coaI com
pany paper in the hands of the recefE-
er. What this is worth Is hard q
conjecture. The next dividend which
will be declared will depend upon what
will be secured on this paper 1t may
bring in anywhere from 80 to 40 cents
on the dollar. The final dividend may
bring up the total money returned 70
90 per cent but 1t is probable IL Will
be closer to IS per cent.
AS soon as the third dividend has
been paid the receivership will come
to a conclusion the banks affair Icing
handled from Washington thereafter.

WILL GAIN A DAY.
Quicker Transmission of Mails Across
the Atlantic.

London, Aug. 3.-The successful
trial run sof the Cunard Steamship
company's new huge liner, the Lusit-
amid, in which she averaged 25H
knots, has led the officers of the COM
pany to issue a statement that the
mails of the Lusitania leaving New
York on Saturday should be delivered
at the general postoffice in London
early Friday morning. The Campania
and the Lucania now the fastest Brit
fsh steamships, reach England in
time to have their mails delivered in
London on Saturday morning, hence
about a day will be gained, perhaps
more, by the Lusitania's carriage of
the mails both to and from New York.
The American Express company
and other firms which have large
mails say that the earlier arrival will
be of great value because it will en-
able banks and commercial houses to
catch the Saturday return mails

BUGS ARRIVED SAFELY.
Every One OF the $4,000 Specimens of
DIR. Shows Collection Are o. X.

Lawrence, Kan, Aug 3.-"Every
one of them came through safely
said DR.. Snow trfumphantly in his lit
tie laboratory in the University of
Kansas museum, as he finished I'M
packing the last box containing the
chronological specimens he had gath
cred on his collection expedition to
Arizona. mot a specimen was in
jured out of the $4,000, and they had
to be hauled over aamountainous road
of nearly thirty miles and Withstand
a railroad journey 1of nearly 1900
miles. ;ss- - -...s-.
"It will take me nearly six months
to get all the specimens obtained on
this trip arranged and classified. Some
of those believe are new to science
will have to be studied carefully for
days to be sure of this and probably
will send some of them to various
entomologists throughout the country
who are experts on that particular
genus to get them to pass upon them.
Then I will prepare a list of the speci-
mems I have for trade and send them
out over the country. Most of the
bugs of which we have duplicates we
will trade with the various museums
for specimens we do not have here at
the university. For some of the more
valuable ones, however, I will set
higher price. For example, for two of
those amblychillas 1 got last year Ca
species of tiger beetie), professor in
Berlin gave me 1877 specimens of tiger
beetles of which 116 were distinct
species. all new to the collection at
the university. Just before I left on
my trip I traded 1000 of my Amer
lean bugs for 1000 a Hungarian col
lector had gathered from all parts of
the world. BY this trading we in
crease our collection at the university
much faster than we would by simply
collecting all of our own specimens"

LESS BUSINESS FOR THEM.
Drug Store Liquor Sales Fewer for
July Than june in Wichita.

Wichita, Kan, Aug. s.-The number
OF druggists liquor sales made during
the month of July is less than for
June, according to the druggists re-
ports which are being filed with Pro-
bate Judge o. ID. Kirk. All the re-
ports from the druggists of the county
are not yet in, but judging from those
which have been received the sales at
the drug stores are on the decrease.
o. e. Paullin gave as his reason for
the decrease in sales that the consum-
ers were finding places to get what
they want without signing up. There
is also a large quantity of rheumatism
cure" shipped in by express and many
of the liquor consumers of the city re-
sort to this method of obtaining their

4 MISSION FOR FRENCH

As Congressman French may be

the following timely suggestion:
1t Ii part Of the record In the case
Of the Government and the Mormon
church that on two or three occas-
ions. the kindly disposed Uncle Sam
uel has found II advisable to legiti-
mate the illegitimate offspring Of
polygamous marriages, that rising
MOrmons might not suffer for the
sins OF their parents.
Since the last operation by which
the existence OF the unfortunate was
legalized. President Smith has ac-
cumdlAted a bakers dozen, according
TO his own statement, that have not
been made secure In their own right
TO the name OF Smith.
''If Representative French would
lay the matter before President
Roosevelt, he probably would be
glad 70 do something for Brother
smith, and Mr.. French would thus
be able to refresh his intellect with
some real knowledge OF the devious
ways OF his political ally"

Rebuilding Of Frisoo's Chinatown.

Rebuilding Of Friseo's Chinatown.
The rebuilding of the part Of San
Francisco familiarly known as China
town Is one of the many noteworthy
achievements of the city since the FIRE,
says the San Francisco Chronicle.
Driven by the flames from their quar-
tiers, the Chinese moved across the bay
and settled temporarily in Oakland.
These enterprising business men did
not lose any time In coming to the
conclusion that they should return and
rebuild upon the smoking ruins, and
almost before the bricks were cold
they began to clear the land for the
substantial brick structures which now
practically cover the entire district.
Far better buildings now stand upon
the sites Of the picturesque show place
OF San Francisco. many Of the new
structures having distinctive orien-
tai cast Business has returned to the
old places, and the life OF Chinatown
is the same as II was before the dIsas-
ter.
