Deposit.
is MUCH RED TAPE.
Required Ten Minutes to Ar
range Details.
Rain Given as Cause for Poor
Showing.

The man who has the distinction of
being the first depositor in the United
States Postal Savings bank. which was
opened at the Topeka postoffice at 8
o'clock this morning is the Rev. David
Lyon, pastor of the North Topeka
Christian church. The amount de-
posted was SO, and it took just ten
minutes to transact the business.
Il was asked to give my fathers
an dmother's name, and my place OF
birth and age among other things,
said Mr.. Lyon On the ten dollar GER
tificate received by the depoSitor was
written the following: This certifies
that the sum of ten dollars has been
deposited with the trustees of the pos
tai savings system and will be payable
to the depositor at the above named
depository office with interest at the
rate of two per cent per annum pay
able annually on the presentation of
this certificate properly endorsed.
The certificate bears the signatures in
facsimile of Frank H. Hitchcock,
Franklin Mac Veagh, and Geo. W.
Wickershan, and was enclosed in an
envelope on which are printed inStruc-
tions for the depositor 10 bear in mind.
Rev. Mr.. Lyon was the only person
to be on hand at the opening of the
bank, but the experience of many Of
the Kansas towns where United States
Savings banks have been established
has been that in some instances no de-
1T won't be very rushing for
WHILE" remarked Postmaster Rodgers
this morning.
II was expecting to see several per
sons in line for the opening, said G.
w. Lyon, the teller, but / presume
that the rain has kept the people
away"
In other places it has been the ex-
perience that it apparently takes some
little time for the people to realize
that the banks are IN existence
Expect $500 Before Night.
At noon today an aged negro from
the East side was waiting Impatient
ly at the window for w r. Caldwell
to prepare q certificate of deposit for
the So bill which the negro held in
his hand. The negro was the ninth
depositor of the morning. The largest
depositor of the morning placed less
than 800 in the bank
The customary red tape that char
acterizes all business with the govern
m ent is in evidence in the new savings
bank. The cashier does more writing
binary banker does in making a $10.-
600 loan. Just what the bank would
do with a line of waiting customers
is a mere matter of guess.
Arrangements had been made to
receive a rush business this morning.
but the rain kept away several pros
pective customers and it may be sew
eral days before the institution is
handling the amount of business that
was anticipated. Tt is possible that
the banking receipts for the first day
may reach the $500 mark before 5
O'Clock, the closing hour.

The wages at present are % cents
hour for men who have worked less
than six nnonths 25 cents for those
who have worked under IS months and

Both Hussen and Ketchel should be in better condition for their match here in the latter part of September than they were in the Tombstone match Hussen bested Roberts al Tucson Friday night in-two falls out of three. but he was thrown by Rob erts in the second fall. According to, Tombstone adyices Hussen also haz a match with Varney at Tucson wit in week CT less.
 Al Ketchel has a magch with John Antichovich, the light heavyweight champion Of Galveston, on September ', and on September If he will wres- tie Tom Long of Corpus Christi. Dan Ketchel writes that Al is improving all the time and can hardly wait for his match with Hussen. though he has slight hope that Hussen will ever agree to a return match. Ketchel has taken on several pounds of fighting weight and it will not be so much of a handicap for him to take Hussen on at catch weights as might be imagin- ed. It is reported that if he chose to do so, he could match Hussen at his own weight.
