ing the Panama Bonds.
A Subscriber Is Trying to Hold
Up the Delivery.

Washington, Dec. 18.-Justice Gould
of the district supreme court today
cited George B. Cortelyou, secretary of
the treasury. to appear in court Janu-
airy 8, to show cause why he should
not be enjoined from turning over or
delivering the balance of s21, 100000 of
the Panama canal bonds to certain
banks and persons to whom he has an
nounced allotments.
The citation issued by Justice Gould
is based on a petition filed by George
w. Austin of New York, who describes
himself as a taxpayer and property
owner in the United States and who
declared he made a proposal to pur-
chase bonds of the advertised issue of
the face value of 100000. He AYERS
he had agreed to pay at the rate of
103.375, and accrued interest per one
hundred dollars and on notice of the
acceptance of his subscription stands

MIR. BAKER MAKES HIS REPORT
State Live Stock Inspector Tells OF
Work OF Past Year.

The annual report of John B. Bak-
er, state live stock inspector, was
made public Tuesday afternoon, and
shows that the department has sue
ceeded in reducing the number of
counties under quarantine for mango
from % to six during the year. The
counties which are still quarantined
are Cheyenne, Logan, Finney, Stevens,
Mead and Clark. In all other counties
originally in the quarantine district,
mango has been stamped out. This
has been accomplished through the
vigorous work of state and govern
m ent inspectors, cooperating with the
cattlemen, who realized the necessity
for stringent regulations.
During the year there have been so
head of cattle killed because of Texas
fever and SO head of horses killed be-
cause of CHAMBERS.
Concerning tuberculosis in cattle, it
is announced that the state expert
ment station has completed a series
of experiments which have been pro-
ductive of a system of inspection
which may be used by any cattleman
with his own cattle to determine the
existence of tubercular trouble. 1t is
expected that the necessary materials
for making this test will be supplied
to cattle raiSers at cost.

HOLDING THEIR TURKEYS
Topeka Dealers Having Trouble to Sc
cure Christmas Supply.

According to some of the leading
grocers of Topeka many of the farm
ers of Shawnee county are trying to
"bull'' the prices of Christmas tur-
keys. Formerly the farmers of this
part of the country would load up
their turkeys and haul them to town
and then dicker with dealers about
the price. This week it is different.
Mr.. Farmer picks up his telephone
and asks the Topeka exchange to give
him any grocer that he wants. He
is soon connected and this CONVERSE
ton ensues almost daily:
"Helloi That Jones? Well, this is
Mac, at his farm. What you pay
ing for turkeys today? What? Eleven
cents? Why I'll keep mine fore I'll
give 'em away like thati Why, I won't
sell a 'soumarkee' below Is cents a
pound! Good bye"
tom cost the grocer $3.50 and in order
to make any profit, the grocer con-
tends that he would have to charge
three or four dollars for the turkey
dressed. eff we charge our custom
ers such prices as that" said one groc-
er today, 1--WE would stand to lose their
friendship and possibly their patron
age"
When told that turkeys were cheap
comparatively speaking in Salina and
Chicago and of further declines in
the price of the favorite Christmas
Thanksgiving bird at those places
during the present holiday season, one
grocer said that Chicago had great
turkey growing country to pick from
in three or four states and that the
country around Salina was SO much
dryer than that of eastern Kansas that
turkeys should be cheaper than they
are in this city.
1--WE have ordered a big supply of
turkeys from Texas and we have
good many on hand now" said one
dealer but he added. 'the price will
be pretty steep this Christmas,I think.
The birds cost us a good figure on
foot f. O. b., and dressing them costs
something in addition to the freight
charges and from the present outlook
I can not see how Topeka dealers can
sell them under IT cents a pound. I
do not look for any alarming scarcity
of turkeys this Christmas, but I do
predict that prices will be pretty stiff.

HELPS P0STOFFICES.
No Longer Need to Remit Cash in
Kansas.

Washington, Dec. 18.-Senators Long
and Curtis have been endeavoring for
some time to make the burden lighter
for small communities in Kansas dur
ing the financial stringency by making
it possible for postmasters to use ex-
change in renting to their depository
city, and thus save that much actual
cash to the community in question.
Frequent visits to the treasury de-
partmenr finally resulted recently in
the issuance by the department of an
order which was practically a COM
mand to SubtreaSury cities like ST.
Louis and Chicago, and where there
are also many government depositar-
les among national banks, to honor ex-
change of other cities having accounts
there. This, for instance, would per-
NIT the small bank in Kansas to issue
exchange to it's postmaster on a Kan
sas City bank, and the postmaster at
Kansas City. which is a postoffice de-
positary town, could get exchange
would be a government deposltary, on
ST. Louis, and thus complete the cir
cult Thereby the small towns would
not be drained of actual cash through
remittances of its postmaster.
Further visits to the postoffice de-
partment resulted in the issuance of
a general order to depositary postoffices
such as Kansas City to notify post
masters depositing with them to return
to the former desirable method of re-
mitting the major portion of public
funds by means of negotiable paper.
The conduct of the postoff1ce depart
ment complained of so bitterly by
small Kansas towns, which need cash
now and have for the past several
weeks. was an order some weeks ago
to postoff1ce depositaries like Kansas
City to advise all it's postmaster cores
pondents to remit in cash only. The
postoff1ce department claimed it could
not get cash on exchange, and, as the
pOStofice department always has a
deficit, that is, uses more money than
