BELOIT'S BANKS SOLID.
The Three Institutions Pay All De-
mands of the Depositors.

Beloit. Nov. 21-The three banks here
don't appear to give themselves par
ticle of uneasiness over the present
bank troubles They will pay all de-
mands made upon them by their de-
positors In other words, none OF
them have adopted the limit policy.
All branches of business are progressing
as though no financial furry had oc-
CURED. Few banks, If any at all in
north central Kansas are more solid
than those of Beloit. The business men
are helping the banks out daily with
their cash sales, while the farmers are
letting well enough alone No unusual
excitement has transpired in the vicini-
ty of any of the banks of this city.
Business is going on as usual In the
Beloft Milling company's Industry, one
of the largest Touring plants In north
central Kansas as is also the case with
the mammoth produce and poultry
plants of Evert & Smith and w. T.

BeIoit is a fairly we'll advertised po-
litical center. 1t has two candidates
for congress who are anxious to succeed
Congressman Reeder. So long as they
both believe they are lin It,, and viii
carry Mitchell county over the other,
by either primary or convention, poll
tics will continue to cut some figure
here. So far as A. G. Mead and State
Senator I. D. Young are concerned,
people of Mitchell county and the Sixth
district will be proud of.
Speaking about politics here that
stalwart Democrat and former nominee
for congress, d. A. Freeman, sees no
other way out of the present financial
dilemma except to nominatea and elect W.
J. Bryan to the presidency. So far he
believes Bryan is the strongest man
his party can nominate. And the opin-
ion of Mr. Freeman is worth something.
- y xxril he w
attend the next national Democratic |
convention from Kansas in the interests
of Bryan.
MI and Mrs d. A. Freeman have re- |
turned to Beloit from their summers |
outing in Fairbanks, Alaska. While |
thew are pleased with that country, and |
ate Alaskan grown vegetables as good |
as ever grown anywhere, and Mrs. |
Freeman picked red raspberries and J
dewberries which grow wild there, they |
were glad to return to Beloit where they |
have made it their home for so many |
years. They left Beloit June and went |
direct to Seattle by railroad thence by |
ocean steamer to Skagway, thence by |
railroad again to the Yukon river, 112
miles, and again by steamer to Fair
banks. changing boats two or three |
times between the Yukon and their des-
tination. In all they were on their jour-
ney continuously about % days Mr..
and Mrs. Freeman have been telling
their friends since their return of the
r0anV pleasant lnCluCIllS lIlGy eIlCOuIi-
tered on the steamer, but one of them
they will not give away. That was
when their steamer encountered a mid
night storm near the mouth of the
Yukon river. The party had retired to
their state rooms. The storm was fur
ious aud the crew of the steamer were
fearful that the boat would go down
with all on board. The passengers were
awakened from their sleep and there
was great CONSERVATION and commo-
lion when the captain hurriedly inform
ed all to put on the life preservers, and
thew obeyed. Finally when the wind
calmed down Mr.. Freeman saw that he
had no less than three life preservers
around him. How they got there he
don't know, but he never wants to en-
counter a scene like this again. The
story goes on to say that in the party
there was a believer in Christian
Science, q lady by the way, and she
was the only passenger out of 100 or
more who wasn't particle scared,
though her husband who is not a be-
lever in the faith, was so badly fright
ened that his hair stood straight up on
his head.
Beloit is doing nicely this fall and
winter. Her people are literally patron
zing an electric theater, same as To-
oeka and other larger cities.
