and other accounts. This feature has
been instituted during the past six
months.
Its stockholders are all local men
and women, with the exception of a
few who were Topeka people, but who
have moved to other cities and still re-
tain their stock and interests in the
bank as well as their property inter-
ests in the city,
Most of the stock of the bank which
was recently quadrupIed was taken by
the stockholders, already owning blocks
OF the stock. A few new stockholders,
however, were admitted among those
being: John T. Huntington, A. H.
Purdy, H. L. P. Hillyer, Mrs. ]. L.
Shellabarger, J. D. Walker Miss Mary
e. Walker. Mrs R. n. Downie, Eliza
Mrs. c. S. Elliott, Miss Lulu Elliott,
John B. Prescott and F. T. Dolan.
Among the directors who have made
the banking house a success and who
were at the yesterday afternoons meet
ing were: A. A. GODDARD, A. B. Whiting.
F. NJ. Stahl, J. P. GriswoId, Willard N.
Hall, NJ. A. Low, DR.. s. G. Stewart,
DIR. G. f. Menninger. E. G. Arnold, e.
other two members of the board were
absent on vacations, N. P. Garretson,
spending the summer in Europe and T.
T. Carver at Atlantic City.
Mr.. Macferran, the new president of
the bank, when seen by a State Journal
reporter this morning he said: The out
look for the State Savings bank is
good. We have attained great success
since our organization in 1898. It is as
sound today as government bonds and
we propose to keep so.
I'VE feel deeply grateful to that
very large percentage of our patrons
who have never doubted the truth of
this statement, and the guaranty Ger
tificate from the state that we will re-
ceive tomorrow will satisfy ALL
THE financial outlook. the country
over is much brighter than 1t was d
few months ago, and especially in the
west. In the east the bank deposits
are falling off while in the west they
are showing an increase. In Topeka
the showing is especially good.
At the last call the banks of Topeka
showed deposits of $9,000,0 900, while on
the last previous call they aggregated
only $500, OO0 which showed an in
crease of $500, 900. During the same
time a selected number of 10 large
eastern banks showed a falling
off from $340, OGO, 900 to S31S, 0O0-
900. This shows that while these
banks were showing a decrease of
per cent in the deposits. the Topeka
banks were showing an increase of 10
per cent, or nearly II per cent differ
ence, in favor of the Topeka banks"

am glad to have both girls and boys
earn money in the summer, but per

Il do not consider Wheelock a fit
person to employ the students, although
he is an alumnus. and I will not allow
any of my boys to join his band. l am
here to run this institution, and will
not permit Wheelock to usurp that
duty"
Mr.. Friedman went on to say that he
found it necessary to draw the strings
after the great freedom permitted stu
dents by Major Mercer. He asked that
arrests be made and personally prose-
cuted SaloonkeeperS who sold 1ntoXl-
cants to the boys. That was the rea-
son, he said, why the police had so
much trouble. Under the old regime the
boys were sent home when found drunk,
and no one was the wiser.
Short RatiOns Charge DisprOved-
One of the principal complaints of
the students who talked with World
representative had to do with alleged
short rations and poorly cooked food.
They said they were so ashamed or
their fare they bluShed to tell about 1t.
A careful investigation, however,
shows that they lived exceptionally
well. The food provided by August
henSter, an old army QuarGermdSIer,
is good and wholesome and well served
The fact is that many of the students
belong to the athletic association,
which during the school year provides
its members with fancy rations. At the
beginning of vacation, when these men
are forced to sit at common mess, they
find the difference far from their liking.
There are 220 students out of over l.
600 now at the school. They are given
meat, bread, butter, milk, vegetables.
coffee and eggs. and on the table scraps
eighty hogs and twenty pigs are fatten-
ing in the school pens. The students
will eat the center of a loaf of bread
and throw the rest away, but constant
ly complain that they do not get
enough to eat. They are strong and TO-
bust and capable of the hardest work,
both manual and mental.
This summer 37S boys and POI girls
are earning money away from the
school. all of which will be banked to
their credit. From July 1, 1908, to July
1, 1909, those on vacation earned $22,-
S7206. OF this $15,214.53 was banked by
boys and $7,15753 by girls. On July 3
last there was credited to their account
in the school bank $39,067.S6. This is
drawn upon for luxuries and for citi-
zens' clothing which the institution
does not furnish.
The girls spend their money literally
for prettv dresses and lingerie and the
boys for stylish suits and entertain
ment. My Indian lady must have the
most modish gown for the hops which
come every other week and for the en-
tertainment which alternates.

COMES INTO HIS OWN.
Cashier BTacferran of the State Saw
ings Bank Becomes President.

A. A. GODDARD, who for the past eleven
years has been president of the State
Savings bank, resigned this position at
a meeting of the directors of the in
stitution which was held late yester-
day afternoon, and William Macferran,
who has been cashier of the bank since
its organization, was elected to fill his
place.
Mr.. Godard's resignation came as a
surprise to most of the directors. He
explained to them that the bank had
arrived at such an important position
that it would be necessary for the head
of the institution to devote all his time
to the business. Mr.. GODDARD being an
attorney with a large practice was I'M
able to devote sufficient time to the
GODDARD is still connected with the bank
however, as a director and large stock
holder.
Mr.. Macferran who succeeds to the
presidency organized the bank in Aug
ust. 1898. and at the time the bank
was capitalized at $4,000. July 1 of
this year the stock was quadrupled and
is now 500, 600. 1t has been one of the
most successful institutions ever
launched in Topeka. and is now one of
the leading banks of the city.
In talking of the growth of this
banking house this morning one of the
directors said: This has been a good
institution for Topeka. In the last ten
years we have paid out to local de-
positors over 100000 in interest and
tc the local stockholders over 100000
in dividends We now have $500 ac-
counts, 80 per cent of which are ac-
counts of individuals. The bank ex-
aminer has checked the bank for ad-
mission to the state bank guarantee
fund and the certificate of guarantee
will be issued within a few days.
THE bank has also been a good
thing for our school children, who de-
posit their pennies through the school
teachers who in turn redeposit them
in the bank and transfer the same to
the children in dollar accounts.
The banks business is largely saw
ings, though 1t receives checking ac-
counts as well, thus handling the ac-

SPOILED HER BEAUTY.
Mary Ryan Identifies Another Woman
as Her Assailant.

Lexington, KY, July 9.-Mrs. Kate
Phipps was arrested today charged
with disfiguring Mary Ryan, the young
Irish girl, who was mysteriously at
tackled in a stable at noon last Tues
day
Mrs. Phipps is a neighbor of the girl
and during the latter's delirium has
been a constant caller to inquire about
the girls condition. Today Miss Ryan
was conscious when Mrs Phipps called.
On sight of her the girl screamed and it
was necessary to hold her in bed.
Miss Ryan says Mrs. Phipps- told her
as she attacked her: If 1 can't have
rosy cheeks, you can't. Everybody
likes you Nobody likes me-" and then
she threw carbolic acid in her face and
cut her with knife on the face and
hands.

Farms Protected by bikes Not
Flooded.
bikes North of MenOken Make
Good.
OTHER LAND FLOODED
When Soldier Greek Overlooked
Near MPnOken.
Waters Have Receded-Other
Items of Interest.

The bikes which were built by the
farmers north of Menoken were
given test yesterday morning when
Soldier creek broke over it's banks.
The farms of T. Gordon. Harper
Lands and Lang and others which
we're thus protected were not flooded.
The entertainments held the water
back. These earthworks were built
by private parties. The bikes begin
north of the Menoken bridge and ex-
tend northward as far as the end of
the Lands farm. The entertainments
are from four TO six feet high and
from three to five feet across the
top.
However, portions of the Mead
place, the Pennick farm the Good
win place and Mullen farm which
were not protected were under water
for several hours yesterday. This is
according to reports from farmers of
the neighborhood. This morning,
however, the water is said to have
receded entirely from the fields.
Mother. I believe there are bur-
glars in the house." said a North
side daughter to her mother about
a. m. today. The man of the house
was away and the two women were
left alone. The girl had been awak-
ened by a noise and had left her own
room. She went to her mothers
room and made the above statement.
Just listen to that noise" she con-
tinued. A faint sound of something
coming into contact with metal came
from the rear of the house.
BY this time the mother was wide
awake and lay straining her ears for
a repetition of the sound. 1t came
again. The two thought of the little
safe which stood in the kitchen 1t
was very small, but it contained some
money and valuable papers.
Some one is trying to open the
safe, whispered the older woman in
a sharp breath, and the girl agreed.
At last she softly reached in the
dresser drawer and seized revolver.
She started to leave the room. Her
mother left the bed and followed
close behind. Not a word was spoken.
Quietly the two women stole to
the kitchen and opened the door.
However, as they looked toward the
corner where the safe stood the dim
starlight showed no figure of the ex-
pected man.
The daughter raised the revolver in
one hand. and with the other reached
out and turned on the electric light
which hung near by.
The kitchen was empty, Likewise,
the women as they tramped through
the house, found all of the other
rooms.
Finally thoroughly tired and mysti-
fed, the women returned to bed and
their slumbers were undisturbed.
This morning while the women
were out in the backyard they found
that papers were strewn near the
garbage can which was at the rear
of the kitchen. AS they looked at it
a huge rat jumped on the lid OF the
can and from there to the window sill I
near where the can rested. Then
the creature 1eaped to the ground
and disappeared And the noise the
rat made as it hoped from the can
cover was identical with the noise the
women heard last night.
