To give its patrons in general bet
ter service, the Peoples Ice & Fuel
company will on January l, 1911, dis
continue the sale of cash ice from its
wagons. After that date ice can be
obtained from wagons only upon pre-
sentation of a coupon. Coupon books
of convenient size have been provided,
and the change in size of coupon
books has not in any way affected the
cost of ice to the consumer. The
change in coupon book has been to
make book for a smaller quantity
of ice and selling at a small! sum.
Small users of ice can buy strip
coupons with less cash investment
even than the investment in the small
est books. Users of Gle in very small
quantities or only occasional buyers,

LIMIT ON BANKS.
Commissioner Dolley Would Have
State Decide on Number.

Among other recommendations that
Bank Commissioner Dolley makes in
his biennial report is that the COM
missioner be given authority to reject
the application for starting a second
bank in one-bank town, or a third
bank in a two-bank town, as the case
may be. Mr.. Dolley says:
There has been more or less dis
cussion regarding the institution of
new banks. I find that in many COM
munities in Kansas we have two banks
in one bank town. or three banks
in two bank. town. as the case may
be. This extra bank demoralizes the
conditions in that community and in
some cases makes banking conditions
more or less unsafe for the depositing
public and has a strong tendency to
make weak institutions instead of
strengthening them The comptroller
of the treasury reserves the right to
refuse or reject applications for ma
tional banks where he finds conditions
of the community do not warrant an
other bank. or finds that the people
who are undertaking to establish a
new bank are not as responsible fin
ancially and otherwise as they should
be as stockholders or managing Off
GERS of a bank. He has rejected dur
ing the past year scores of applications
from all over the United States for
these reasons I believe that this is
very important factor in making
stronger, sale anu D6LleT banks, ana
I advise that the Legislature empower
the bank commissioner by law enact
ment with like authority"
Mr.. Dolley also discusses the propo-
sition of holding officers and directors
liable in case of bank failure as fol-
lows:
1.-The department holds, and in this
Attorney General Jackson agrees, that
members of board of directors are
liable personally and individually to
the depositors in case of a banks fail
ure or it's having sustained serious
losses, if they were neglectful, and in
attentive to their duties as directors
and that legal action can be instituted
against them and they can be held
financially responsible as individuals
to pay any unpaid losses caused
through the failure of the bank in
case of an insufficiency of assets to
pay all depositors in full.
Twice each year we have filed with
the department list of the notes and
assets of every bank in the state and
we are in a position at all times to adj
wise any bank who may wish to in
quire as to the total bank indebted
ness of any borrower in the state as
far as Kansas state banks are con-
cerned. l find that this Is of great
value to our banks and is strong fac
tor in heading off the plunger, the
dangerous Spectator and dishonest
adventurer, a class that has done much
injury and caused much loss to the
banking world in the past"

DOCTORS PUBLISH TESTIMONY
MAN NEVER TOOK TREATMENT

Many people have been reading in the
columns of this and other papers of the
remarkable cures the United Doctors
have made in Topeka in the past year.
Many of these cases were desperately bad
cases that had been unsuccessfully
treated by several other doctors and spe-
cialists. The following letter sheds some
light on the reason of these remarkable
cures, but curiously enough, the writer
never took dose of their medicine. or
received any treatment of any kind at
their hands. It reads: To the Public: I
wish to state for publication first that I
have never taken any treatment of any
kind from the Institute located at Clio
Kansas avenue, and known as the United
Doctors. I admit have suffered at times
to- the past two years from severe
pain in my side and back, and I have
spent all the money 1 have made during
this time with different doctors and have
as far as I can see received no benefit
All the dealings I have ever had with
the United Doctors, was during the one

visit I made to their offices where I will
say, to their credit, that I secured the
only real careful examination I have ever
had from all the doctors I have been to
in the last two years. After this ex-
animation they told me exactly what my
trouble was, and told me that it was alb
solutely beyond the power of medical
treatment to give me more than tenn
porary relief as the trouble was incur
able. They advised me how to live, and
what to do to relieve the severity of my
pains, but refused to take a penny. al
though 1 offered to pay them for the ex-
animation, and really felt that they were
the only doctors 1 had been to that
earned a dollar of my money in the past
two years. 1 wish 10 state that any man
who goes to their offices will find out the
truth about his case as soon as they have
finished their examination, and that they
live up to their rule to take no money
from anv one unless they can promise an
absolute and permanent cure. Signed

Doctors office.

CARS BREAK LOOSE.
They Crash in a Passenger Trolley In
juring Occupants.

Saratoga, Dec. 17.-Nearly dozen
passengers were injured in the Hud-
son Valley railway, north of Schuyl-
vile, early today when two freight
cars broke from an electric engine and
crashed into a passenger trolley which
was following closely. None of the
passengers escaped injury although
there were no fatalities.
The wreck caught fire from a coal
stove in one of the freight cars and
three cars were destroyed. The injur-
ed included the Rev. DIR. Daniel Hoff-
man Martin of Glens Falls. formerly
of New York city, seriously hurt in
ternally; James Nichols of Thompson,
arm broken; Robert Tucker, Green

IT WILL Be LIVELY
Indications Point to Exciting
Session of Legislature.
More Than Usual Number OF
Freak Bills Expected.
SUFFRAGE WILL PASS.
Little Doubt That Legislature
Will Submit Amendment.
Utilities Bill and Referendum
Will Furnish Storm Centers.

The indications are, from advance
information at hand, that there Will
be more freak legislation introduced
in the next legislature than ever be-
fore. The prohibition law has reach
ed a stage where it can be amended
only to include the consumer in the
class of law breakers along with the
dealer in intoxicating liquors. This
may be done. The dogs may be put
in the undesirable class, and the cats.
and the goats, and the peddlers, and
the bankrobbers, and the stock job
bers, and the Sunday baseball play
ers, and the public generally. Only
a chosen few would escape the law if
all the bills proposed were passed.
Occasionally, here and there in the
hubbub and shouting of the legisla-
tors, can be found man who has
nothing new to propose, and even a
man comes forward now and then
who would annul a lot of worthless
and freak legislation from the stat
utes.
1t can be taken as one of the GER
tainties of the future that woman's
suffrage will become new law-rlat
is so far as the legisture can make it
one. The women are going to give
the legislators a dance early in the
session and not a mothers son of
them will escape from that dance
room unpledged to the cause of wo-
mans suffrage. They will dance at
night to the music of the violin and
then later they will pay the fiddler"
The two big fights of the session
will come over the utilities bill and
the initiative and referendum. There
is a difference of opinion in the DOM
inant party over the virtue of these
two measures, and the majority is not
large enough to admit the easy pas
sage of a bill where there is any diff
ference of opinion in the ranks as to
it's merits.
The fighting will begin early in fact.
it will start when the time comes to
select a speaker of the house. and it
will continue until the last hour of the
session. Fifty-three Democrats and
twenty standpat Republicans and fifty
progressive Republicans. all ga4cered
in captivity under one roof ought to
be able to keep the excitement sus-
tanned to the end. They will.

Vaudeville managers soon began to
clamor for the services of "Sis'' and a
sketch was written for her by a news
paper man. 1t was presented in the
continuous houses and was an enor-
nous success. Then the actress became
determined to have new play and the
services of Carroll Fleming were en-
gagged. One month later isis Hopkins
