STUBS ON WAY HOME.
Governor Will Arrive i'm Topeka on
Wednesday.

Governor Stubs left Washington
last night and it is expected that he
will arrive in Topeka some time We'd
nesday The governor will bring with
him a copy of the opinion of the at
torney general setting forth the reas
ons why the national banks of the
state were refused permission by the
government to participate in the guar
anty of deposits scheme. This decision
is accepted phifosophically by the Of
ficials at the state house. It was a big
question to decide and is a matter for
the legislative rather than the judicial
or executive departments to pass
upon.
The Kansas fight has made bank
guaranty national issue and the peo-
pie of the country at large can pass
upon it in the next campaign. Had
Kansas secured a favorable ruling in
this matter it would have been equiva-
lent to letting down the bars for all
the national banks of the country and
granting privileges heretofore not
granted except by act of congress.
1t is confidently expected that the
national banks of the state will adopt
some effective plan to insure deposits
and that few of them will denatfon-
alize on account OF the new guaranty
law

TWISTER IN ILLINOIS,
Two Persons Killed, Many Hurt and
Damage of $15O,OOO.

Marion, ILL.,, April 6.-Two persons
were killed, many others were hurt
and considerable property was dam
aged by a tornado which struck this
city and it's vicinity early today. The
deaths occurred in Pittsburg, village
six miles northeast of here, the VIC
tins being crushed in the collapse of
their homes. SO far as can be learned
they were the only fatalities.
The storm came from the southwest
and was preceded and followed by
heavy rains. 1t was $50 O'Clock when
the sstwister" struck here and few per-
sons were on the streets. In the busi-
ness section several stores were part
" demolished and in the residence
section many of the small homes oc-
cupied by miners and their families
were unroofed.
AS the storm passed across the
country it ripped open barns and other
farm buildings and then apparently
spent its force on Pittsburg. Flying
debris wrecked store fronts there and
uprooted trees, crashed upon dwell
lings. one of which collapsed and
caused two deaths.
The monetary loss occasioned by the
storm is estimated at $150,000.
In Marion, the Edwards mill was
unroofed. the ice plant damaged and
ehe A. F. White business college

offices were partly blown down. The

were wrecked and the Methodist

damaged. At Pittsburg the Methodist

BANKS COMING IN.
Commissioner DoIley Says 100 Have
Said They Would Join Guaranty.

Bank Commissioner Dolley, speak
ing today of the Kansas bank guaranty
law, stated that he had received as
surance from one hundred state
banks that they would join the guar
anty association as soon as it was
formed or thereafter as quickly as
they could arrange their affairs.
There are TIT state banks in Kan
sas and it is expected that the ma
jority of these will take advantage of
the law which allows them to offer
state guaranty of deposits. The bank
ers are coming into the association
cheerfully and in a good spirit. Mr..
Dolley spoke with pleasure of the
support he was receiving from the
banks in the beginning of the trial of
the new guaranty law.

THE WEATHER is COLDER.
The Mercury Takes Slide This
Afternoon.

The corn and wheat bulletin for the
past "a hours. shows some remarkable
differences in temperatures within the
state, indicating an unsettled condition.
The station at Dresden reports maxi
mum temperature of SO and a mini
mum of 30-the only freezing point re-
corded in the state. Compared with
this, Toronto, Kan, reports Sc for the
maximum and 58 for the minimum
Topeka struck a good average, the fig
ures being 50 maximum and so mini
mum. Toronto also reports an inch
and seven one-hundreths of rain, which
is the only rainfall worthy of note in
the whole state for the period. At this
writing. Topeka is still dry, but it may
rain before this paper is exposed to
the weather. The temperature has
changed materially since noon, and it
is growing colder but as the voters do
not seem to care much about election
anyway, little weather more or less
will not change the results at the polls.
A little snow was reported from the
extreme northwestern part of the state
early this morning, but it is not liable
to penetrate this far into the interior.
| The local weather doctor opines that
the temperature will drop to a point
adjacent to freezing tonight, and that
the GOODNESS will discourage any stray
rain which might have chosen this as a
lighting place. The wind is blowing IA
miles an hour from the west.

A letter was received by Mr.. Roose-
welt during the afternoon from a
prominent American prelate, who late
ly was in Rome. The writer stated
that he had gained the impression
that the Vatican would have great
pleasure in receiving Mr.. Roosevelt
because of the admiration and high
esteem in which he was held there.
Later Mr. Roosevelt told the American
ambassador that he should assuredly
go to the Vatican to see the pope If
he visited Rome.

Why We Are Stronger.

The old Greeks and Romans were great admirers of health and strength; their pictures and statuary made the muscles of the men stand out like cords.
 As matter of fact we have ath- letes and strong men-men fed on fine strength making food such as Quaker Scotch Oats-that would win in any contest with the old Roman or Greek champions.
 It's matter of food. The finest food for making strength of bone, muscle and nerve is fine oatmeal. Quaker Scotch Oats is the best because it is pure, no huskS or stems or black specks. Farmers wives are finding that by feeding the farm hands plenti- fully on Quaker Scotch Oats they get the best results in work and economy. If you live in hot climate buy Quaker Scotch Oats in dramatically sealed tins. It keeps sweet and fresh. 2
