SPEAKING OF ABILENE.

Lawrence Journal: The recent Dank
footing in Abilene calls special at
tention to the bank commissioners
office. Are the field men doing their
duty? The force has been largely
increased and it is presumed that
the work is more effective. OF course
there is no loss to depositors In the
Abilene bank footing but there must
be something wrong with the exami-
nations. The bank has been regular
" examined and the stealing was
going on all the time. Some one
ought to get busy around the bank
commissioners office.
Leayenworth Post: The pesi-
mists who did not believe 9, W.
Parker ever intended building MS Dig
factory here ought to take a trip out
to the site and see what has ALREADY
been accomplished. Better be
booster, now, Mr.. Knocker.
