KNOX STARTS IT.
Pennsylvania Senator Introduces Pos
tai Savings Bank Bill.

Washington, Feb. Ex-senator
Knox today introduced a bill to es-
tablish a system of postal savings
banks. The bill embodies the plan out
, lined by Postmaster General Myer in
his annual report and which he adj
vocated ina public address as being
calculated to encourage economy and
thrift and to afford place of deposit
free from any possibility of doubt for
vast sums of money which otherwise
would be boarded and kept out or
circulation through ignorance or lack
of confidence.
The bill authorizes the postmaster
general to establish q system of postal
saving banks comprised of such mon
ey order offices as he may designate
for that purpose.
Accounts may be opened and depos-
its made in any postal savings banks
established under this act by any per-
son of the age >of 10 years or over in
his own name, by married woman in
her own name and free from any
control or interference by her hus-
band by a trustee as such on behalf
of another person, by parent guar
dian or other person, for the benefit
of child under ten years of age, or
by any charitable or benevolent So
ciety or association provided that no
person or organization shall have
more than one postal savings account,
except that a trustee, parent guardian
or other person may have an individ-
ual account and an account in his rep
resentative capacity for each person
or child for whom he may be entitled
to open an account.
The bill further provides that such
postal bank shall redeposit it's money
in even dollars with one dollar as
a minimum and postmasters are re-
quired to make daily reports to the
postmaster general, who will forward
to the depoSitor a written ackn ow1edg-
ment of its receipts. Deposits are not
liable to seizure or detention under 1e-
gal processes against the depositor,
and such funds are exempt from taxa
ton. Interest at the rate Of 2 per
cent per annum Is allowed depositors
and the postmaster general Is author
| lied to place the money deposited in
postal savings banks in national banks
at rate of interest satisfactory to the
secretary of the treasury. These ma
| tional depositaries are to be in the i'm
mediate vicinity of postal banks from

have had practically the same story
to tell.
One case in particular yesterday
was that of a gentleman, living near
Topeka who had come to see MT;
Cooper for the express purpose OF
thanking him for what his medicine
had done In his case.
The gentleman was seen afterwards
and upon being asked to describe MS
symptoms, said:

I noticed that Mr.. Cooper was having
great success in Topeka In cases sim
liar to mine and / decided at once 10
go over and see him.
1.-THE result was that I purchased
treatment of medicine and have been
using it for one week. NOW am
back here again to thank Mr.. cooper
personally for what it has done Tor
me. I began to feel better very soon
after commencing 1t and today I feel
like a new man. He certainly mas a
wonderful remedy and I can not help
expressing my thanks to him for
coming to Topeka and introducing II
to us"
Stories similar to this are heard
every day and it is evident that Mr..
Cooper's remedies are accomplishing
much good in this city.

SHOP FORCE REDUCED.
Two Hundred Men Dropped by the
Santa Fee in Topeka.

The Santa Fe this afternoon an
nounced a reduction of two hundred
men in the local shops. These reduc-
tons will affect every department. 1t
will come as a sort of wedding out
process and in most cases the newer
and unmarried employees have been
discharged. In some instances the
men have been merely laid off and will
be taken. back again in a couple of
weeks.
The reduction has been necessitated
by the falling off In business which
has affected the rolling stock so that
there is but little need for repair work
at the present time.
1t is understood that the reduction
is to be general in the mechanics,
branch of the entire system and will
amount to a decrease of about 20 per
cent in the working force.
