paper 1 might add this, that al
though we have been making no Ell
fort to secure subscriptions to the
stock, quite a large number of people
asked to join with US. I think the
stock will be fully subscribed.
"On the board of directors will be
strong. capable men in whom the pub
lie have confidence. We want the di-
rectors to be active, to direct and have
ness from day to day.
AT this time 1 will just tell you
few of the other men in the enter
prise: Mr.. w. E. Davis, now serving
his last half year as state auditor,
man of recognized probity and large
Keever is attorney for the bank and
one of its larger shareholders.
Another thing, we believe that To-
peka today is handicapped in its
financial standing by the limited
showing it makes in the daily bank
clearances published from week to
week in the newspapers over the en-
tire country. We want to see the
banks and the financial institutions,
which should be connected with the
clearing house, in the clearing house.
For instance, the State Savings bank
and the Farmers National bank are
not now connected Herewith; neither
is the state treasurer, nor the treas
urer's office of the great Santa Fe
system. Why shouldn't they be? The
fact that they are out reduces the ag
gregate of our clearanceS and thereby
fails to give us the rank to outside
financial interests to which we are en-
titled.
George Godfrey Moore. state man
ager of the Germania Life Insurance
company, is also with us; Mr.. J. l.
Raines, president of the Kansas State
Bank association, and president of the
Bank of Perry, Kan, and a resident
of this city, is also affiliated; and as
said before, there are others.
The banks of Topeka are all doing
good business, and we hope they
will all grow along with us. There is
no bank now, south of Eighth street,
and in our locality are the Santa Fee
general offices, the state house, State
Printery, the two daily newspapers,
the Memorial building, and the big
Pelletier store, the HARLAN store and
many of the best concerns in the city.
I'm regard to the bank story You
read in the New York Journal and the
Chicago Examiner, I had not the re-
hottest idea it was to be printed until
after it appeared in type. About sew
en- weeks ago, 1 spent parts of two
days very pleasantly with Arthur Bris-
bane, the editor of the New York
Journal, when he was in Kansas dur
ing the newspaper week at Lawrence.
He gave me very interesting and valu-
able knowledge from his wonderful
newspaper experience and 1 naturally
exchanged a few notes with him, no-
dreaming he would print what I said.
1 now certainly appreciate his gener-
GUS courtesy. During the last few
days l have received papers from
friends who have sent marked copies
of the Brisbane editorial in the Los
Angeles Herald and the Atlanta Geor-
gian.
Thousands of dollars would not
have purchased as advertising that
widely printed article, which, by the
way, was absolutely true, every word
of it."

NOTE: Folks in town and adjoining
counties are delighted with the results
they have obtained by using ANURIC,"
the newest discovery of DR.. Pierce, who
is head of the INvALIDS' HOTEL and
SURGICAL INSTITUTE, in Buffalo, N. Y.
Those who started the day with back
ache, stiff legs, arms and muscles, and
an aching head worn out before the
day began because they were in and out
of bed half dozen times at night } are
approaching the perfect rest, comfort
and new strength they obtained from
DIR. Pierce's Anuric Tablets. To prove
that this is certain uric acid solvent
and conquers headache, kidney and
bladder diseases and rheumatism, if
you've never used the UAnuric,n cut
this out and send ten cents to Doctor
Pierce for large sample package. This
will prove to you that vAnuric" is
thirty seven times more active than
ithia in eliminating uric acid-and the
most perfect kidney and bladder cor
rector. If you are sufferer, go to your
best druggist and ask for a 50-cent box
of vAnuric." You run no risk for DR..
Pierce's good name stands behind this
wonderful new discovery as it has for
the past half century for his wGolden
Medical Discovery" which makes the
blood pure, his vFavorite Prescription :"

SUFFERED From BAcKAcHE and
KIDNEY TROUBLE FOR YEARS.

Dear Readers wish to tell you
that 1 suffered from backache and
kidney trouble for years. heard of
Doctor Pierce's Anuric Tablets and I
tried them. They cured my backache;
they do all that is required of them.
I hope people that are troubled with
backache will give them good trial.

is of little moment The vital issue
is the truth, which is often concealed
under such masses of prejudice that
only the exercise of wisdom and the
practice of federation can bring it
forth in all it's majesty for the admira-
ton of honest men.
If there now lives on this earth
race which ought to be tolerant of
hostile opinion it is our race. If suf-
fering and sacrifice evolves men and
women Of large sympathies, then the
Irish people ought to be the most gen.
erous in their judgments of all peo-
pies.
Yet our history is marked by so
many schisms and feuds that faction
alism has been used as a national
reproach. But it is plain to the man
of sense, who analyses the causes of
these old feuds. that they, save in
very exceptional cases, arose from the
conflicting convictions of honest men.
The fiery passions of our warlike an
cestors, once aroused, refused to &C,
cept any compromise, and followed
the banner of the parties to either
triumphant victory or irretrievable de-
feat.

TNTERACADEMTC
SCHOOLS JOIN
TENNIS LEAGUE
New Junior Organization
Should Increase Interest
in Game in Local Ranks
NEW RULES ADOPTED
BY WILLIAM T. TILDEN, I'd

The winter meeting of the Interacademic
Athletic Association proved of unusual
interest to the sporting world of Phla-
delphia this season, since an important
and progressive step was taken, which
should place tennis on the same highly
efficient standard that this progressive
body has already placed football, base
ball and track events under its super
vision.
Tennis has been slighted by all the
schools around Philadelphia, but a new
interest is springing UP, and reawakened
activity In the sport is found through-
out the city. Penn Charter, Episcopal,
Friends Central and Germantown Acad-
emy now lead the way toward the pro-
grcssive policy needed in this sport by
forming n Junior Interacademic Tennis
League.
This now league the first Junior school
league around the city, Will play under
interacademic rules. The following points
are outstanding
First. Age Limit-Boys under is on
January 1 of the current year are eligible
to play league tennis.
Second. Team-Eight men, six events;
four singles and two doubles. No man
can play in more than one event. Each
event shall count one point.
TO AWARD CUP.
Third. a cup will be given by the asso-
citation to the league, to be played for
each year. It will be the property OF
the association, and can never be won
outright by a school. 1t is governed by
the same rules as the other interacadem!c
cups.
Fourth. a boy is eligible to play botn
junior and first-team tennis.
The schedule will be announced later,
but will consist of two matches with
each school in the league.
The association also sanctioned this
years lnteracademic League Individual
championship and junior individual cham
pionship in tennis, and If successful they
will be made annual events. The matter
of trophy cups for these events will be
taken up at a later time
The motion adopted was as follows:
Competition for the InteraCadcmic League
to four members OF each school team in the
Interacademic League who have played at
least one-half OF the seasons matches. Be
1t distinctly understood that those members
who graduate the current year eligible to
play in that years senior tournament; which
shall commence on the morning OF the second
day following the latest graduation exercise
of a school in the league. The Junior tourna-
ment shall be played in the last week OF May.
The winner of each event shall win outright
cup presented by the league This carries
with it the individual title for that class
Qeaguo or junior. All matches shall be two
out Of three, except finals, which shall be

INDUSTRIAL FIVES

IN THREE PLACES

STANDARD ROLLER WINS
"RIame be the tie that binds!'

BLAINE be the tie that bindS'
Instead of the semiweekly meleos open
ing up gaps among the eight teams in the
Industrial League, they are drawing them
closer together. Prior to last nights
games at the Quaker City a. c. there
were two teams, Hale & kilburn ana
National Biscuit, deadlocked for seventh
position; following last nights games the
tailenders are not only on par for sew
enth place, but Western Electric and E.
G. Budd are tied for first and j. & j.
Dobson and Standard Roller Bearing have
their horns locked for third
In completely outclassing Electric Stor-
age last night, 46 to q, h. G. Budd again
drew up on even terms with western
Electric for leadership in the industrial
circuit. Western Electric remained idle.
In the other conflict, which was the bet
ter of the two, Standard Roller defeated
j. & j. Dobson in thriller, that termi-
mated 20 to 49, and incidentally caused
dead heat for the third rung with Dobson.
1t is common occurrence, these ties
Ever since the league made its debut last
November ties have figured in the stand
ings of the clubs.
The spell will crack next Tuesday night,
however. No matter who wins in the
Western Electric-E. G. Budd and Hale &
Kilburn-Standard Roller games, n tie
cannot be the immediate result. But the
tradition of the league must be upheld,
and there is no telling what will happen
after the games on the following Thurs
day.
AS n sudden upshot of the sensational
race for first place it was freely rumored
among the wise ones last night that
Western Electric for it's important game
with the Budds will next Tuesday night
adopt the policy of win -at-any-price. The
Electrics will incorporate in their lineup
two wel-known Eastern League players,
former members of the Western Electric
aggregation. They are Dave Kerr and 81
Simndinger, now signed with Reading
and Trenton, respectively
