Where the attention of the male
becomes a perfect harassment, the
nervous arrangement may decrease

males mated to each male bird. and
after breeding season it is best to
remove the male from the flock al

Color is to play a large part In wom-

are In one color or two or three colors

used for shirtwaist suits.

Bishop M. Hopkins, formerly of
Greensburg, Kansas, has accepted
the call rendered to him by the
members of the Christian Church
OF this city two weeks ago, to be-
come regular pastor.
Elder Hopkins has held several
successful pastorates in Kansas and
one in Oklahoma. He comes here
strongly recommended by the State
Christian Missionary Society OF
both Kansas and Oklahoma. He
is a young man, single, industrious.
energetic, cordial and best of all,
a former printer. From the print
cry he went to the pulpit some.
thing over four years ago.
His work at Greensburg was
very successful. During his pas
torate there thirty. eight names
were added to the church and a
new $1,000 brick veneer church
building started.
Since coming here large congre-
cations have greeted him in the
services and when he announced or
Sunday that he had accepted the
call, it was received with great
favor by all who heard him.

and trustworthy information:
Topeka, Oct. 2o.-Bank Com
missioner J. N. Dolley today issued
the following statement:
"There are 365 banks that have
deposited with the state treasurer
at this date. There is deposited in
the state treasury $25o,42o.2o in

stated.
The records of the banking de-
partment show that during the last

through failed banks. On this
basis, there is at this time enough
in the assessment fund to pay the
average loss for three years to come,

during the past ten years comprise
all of the banks of Kansas, which

Mrs. Anna B. Hanson, wife of

Mrs. G. F. Guthrie is Dead

Mrs. u. +. Guthrie died at her
home in this city Tuesday morn
ing at clock, November I6, 1900,
after remarkable and courageous
effort to overcome what was al
most certain to be fatal sickness
for more than three weeks. A
week ago she gained some strength
as result of slight operation but
on Saturday it became evidentthat
unless the seat of the trouble could
be removed there could be no
chance of prolonging life, and on
Monday the main operation was
performed by five physicians-Drs.
Donovan and Gilbert of this city,
DR.. Johnson, the patients brother,
of Cairo, Illinois, DR.. A. D. Upde-
graf of Anthony and DR. Wilcox
of Willard, Kentucky. While the
cause of the trouble was removed,
Mrs. Guthrie's strength was so Sc.
verely taxed that little hope for her
recovery was given by the physi-
clans and when the news was told
the following morning that she had
passed away, the people of Medi-
cine Lodge were not greatly surpris-
ed but inexpressibly saddened.
The funeral was held at lhe
Christian Church at 1880 p. m.
yesterday, conducted by Elder
Ingle, after which the body was
taken to Barry, Illinois, her former
home, for burial, accompanied by
the sorrowing husband and other
relatives.

was reared to womanhood. She
leaves a husband, four brothers and

at the end except one brother.

Mrs. Guthrie was a noble woman
in every sense of the word, being a
loving sister and wife, a dutlfuI
daughter, and noble example o.
the true woman, and withal a true
Christian, having united with the
Christian church during her early
life. In drawing the veil around
the last sad rites that attend the
dead we can only say may the life
that she lived be an example te
others and may her influence live
on forever and be the means o.
bringing others to Christ.

Esther Johnson has advanced the
idea of having her arms so con-

she can make them glide all around
her, thus making her more efficient
in the game, but on practicing this
theory she threw her shoulder out
of place.
