Ed Morton, WeII-tO-DO Farmer,
Tramped by Horses.
In Old Soldiers Hospital, Leaven-
WOrth--COnditiOn Critical?
JUST ESCAPES DEATH.
Ed Murphy Knocked Down by
Switch Engine.
Sustains Only Loss of Fingers of
Right Hand.

Trampled by horses and in a prob
ably critical condition, Ed Morton, a
well-to-do farmer living five miles
northwest of Topeka, today is in the
Old Soldiers hospital at Leavenworth.
The extent of his injuries is not
known. Mrs. Morton is nearly pros
trated over the accident.
1. 1t seems that her husband went to
the barn Thursday afternoon to look
after his team. Soon afterward he
was found only partially conscious
near the animals feet. Indications
were that he had been trampled upon.
He was brought to Topeka and sent to
the Old Soldiers hospital at Leaven-
worth. He is about 6 5 years old. The
Mortons recently bought the Biehl
place and had just moved there from
Rochester.
Ed Murphy, a farmer living near
Menoken, today is at Stormont hos
pital minus the end of the right thum b
and two finger joints of the right hand.
He was crossing the Union Pacific rail-
road tracks near the freight depot
about dark last evening, and was
knocked down by a switch engine. 1t
seems he did not see the engine and
the crew did not see him in time to
stop. BY almost a miracle he escaped
death. Meanwhile his small son had
been waiting on North Kansas avenue
to accompany his father home. He
was notified of the accident, but was
assured that his father was not in a
dangerous condition.
A big attendance is desired at the
regular meeting of the Civic club this
evening. Among other things the
proposition of the Taylor tract as a
place for the buffaloes offered the city
of Topeak will be discussed.
Business of the utmost Importance
will come up said E. E. OHnger, sec
rotary of the club this morning. IF
the North siders are interested in
something which will be to their ad-
vantage hope they will turn out to-
night.
A new lodge, the only of its kind

ganizing the Topeka lodge, is deputy

A REAL BANK In SCHOOL

amount Of the deposit. The white card
is then returned to the bank file and
the other giveN back to the boy. OF
course. before the deposit can be made
the youngster has to make out his de-
posit slip, and this is placed on file.
While boy can make a deposit as
small as cent, there has not yet been
any amount received less than double
that amount.
1t is considered that the bank will
not only make the boys more thrifty
but will do much to bring about this
feature in the homes of the boys. The
fact of their sons having accounts will
probably make the fathers desire to
have bank account

A bank for public school boys. run
by the boys themselves, is the novel
feature which has just been brought
into being In New York. Not only is
1t being run to teach the saving prin-
which mark the institutions of the finan-
ciaI district Deposits and Withdrawals
are credited to the accounts by the
schoolboy officers, and the depositors
are permitted to check against their
funds, and even promissory notes are
dealt with, the discount being at the
rate in the financial district
The school bank opened its doors to
depositors a few days ago, and there
was rush on the part of the boys to
place their small funds In safe keeping.
The demand for bank books was far
in excess Of anything anticipated, and
the supply Of books was exhausted In
q short time, so that there were prob
ably zoo boys who could not be accom-
modated. AS 1t stands now, the bank
has 400 depositors. and the total amount
in the bank safe totals about 800
Each boy is required to keep on hand
q balance of 80 cents in order to hold
his account, and when the amount has
reached 80 the youthful financier can
check against the sum. For this pur-
pose check books are provided. which
accord in every particular to those Of
any financial institution. the checks
being printed with Bank of Public
School II" in large letters across the
face. The THRIFT of several of the boys
is shown by the fact that already they
have approached close to the point
when they will have deposit book In
the Yorkville bank.
In order that everything may be on
the same plane as in the regular bank
ing institutions there Is a book in
which the signature OF every one of
the depositors who has earned the
right to "a check book is kept When
a check comes in the signature is re-
ferred to this book and IL 1T taliies
the check is passed. Already checks
are flying about the school, the boys
paying their debts by this means, in
stead of passing over the cash, as In
the days before there was a financial
institution at the school 1t is possible
that In the near future many of the
teachers of the school will have their
pay checks cashed at the school bank
instead of going outside. thus saving
themselves some inconvenience. AS yet
the fact which makes this impossible is
the lack of bank safe. and this is the
only feature of q regular banking in
stitution that is lacking.
The banking hours are from to 4
o'clock daily, and four to six are al
lowed in the bank Office at time.
Each depositor Is provided with card,
on one side Of which are amounts from
/ cent to SIS, and on the other the
same, only that one is for deposits ana
the other for Withdrawals, First he
comes to the teller and announces his
name. class and number, and the dupli-
cate card is looked up. This is passed

is now practically extinct
To kill or otherwise get rid Of q cat
that came aboard ship was for genera
tions regarded as the forerunner Of

still survives in the common practice
of having either a cat or some other

In a more jocular light now than in the

that rats will desert a sinking ship"
There was really some foundation for
this theory, as a hidden leak or smoId-

would naturally drive the rats up on
deck and thence to any place Of refuge
they could find.
TO coil a rope up left handed. or

held until recently as an Ill omen but
the most common bad luck attending
the act was a sound berating at the
hands or the mate or boatswain for

a WoMAN'S FEET.

We have always thought that the
American woman took as rnuch pride
in dressing her feet as her head, but
a Lynn, Mass, shoemaker has the
temerity to say that while the aver
age woman will pay big price for a
becoming hat she gasps at the idea of
paying five dollars for q pair a shoes.
1T takes an expert only a few min
utes" continues this shoe designer, "to
note that the wrong shoes have got
on the feet of nine in ten women.
Shoes that were meant for slender
women are on the feet of stout women,
shoes designed for high-arched feet
are on low-arched feet, and shoes that
should appear on pointed-toed feet are
found on suuare-toed feet" And whose
is the fault? Chiefly the retailers de-
ciares our critic. The manufacturer
and his expert give long hours of Sc
rious thought to the ''fitting qualities
of new styles; but the average clerk
in the shoe shop thrusts a pair of
shoes on woman's feet, tells her that
they look well and are strictly mod
