FEET FROZEN. NOT SHOT.
Appeals of Several Negro Soldiers fol-
Pensions Is Explained.

Atchison, Kan, May Wv. S. Cain
of Atchison, who, in 1864, was captain
of the Twelfth regiment of United
States negro infantry, has been asked
by the government pension department
why it is that nearly all the surviving
members of the regiment say in their
appeals for pensions that they were
shot in the feet. The department says
they are always able to show feet that
have been mutilated in some way or
other.
Mr.. Cain says that the feet of these
men were not injured by bullets in the
war, but were frozen. On December %,
1864, the Twelfth regiment rode on fiat
cars from Murfreesboro, Tenn, to the
Limestone river in Alabama in pursuit
of confederate troops under General
Hood. In the trip, which required three
days, the feet of nearly every member
of the Twelfth regiment were frozen.
Today the surviving members who
want pensions fear they will not be
granted the pensions they we'll deserve
If they say that their feet were frozen
and not shot.

sum there were Hhes totaling $2z1.50
worked out by the prisoners. The
sum of $472.15 in back fines was also
collected during the month.

Ed Warren, a second hand fur
niture dealer on Kansas avenue be-
tween Third and Fourth streets, was
arrested by the police yesterday on
charge of violating the ordinance
against lacking advertising signs on
telephone and telegraph poles on the
business streets of the city. He was
tried in police court yesterday even
ing for the offense. He was re-
leased because of extenuating cir
cumstances. This is the first violation
of this ordinance since the morning
last winter that Frank Brown deco
rated the stores and windows along
the avenue with signs advertising the
manifold advantages of his hotel.
Browns plea was that as a nephew
of i, Senator Curtis the merchants
should be patriotic enough to stand
for advertising a hotel named after
the noted Kansas senator. This
awaited nothing, however, and Brown
got into peck of trouble over the
incident, among other things being
assessed a $50 fine in police court.

BANKS AND THE PUBLIC,

In discussing banking regulations

positors. should be considered. Banks
are not simply places of safe deposit
for accumulated cash. The indus
trial and commercial development of
a community depends largely upon
them. Banks are called upon to ac-
comodate citizens In the futherance
OF legitimate enterprises. and in
times of financial stringency and ex-
traordinary demands, such as arise in
crop moving seasons. the local bank
dng situation is of vital consequence
