Hasty Marriage Is Followed by

One Kansas girl-self admitted vic

an alleged bigamist and white SLAYER

punishment of the man in the case.
The young woman is Hazel Stewart

in Jail in Cape Girardeau, Mo, and
Governor Capper today asked Govern

On Question of Fair Interest on City
and County Balances.

The following letter was received by
the county commissioners this morn
ing:
OZAwkIE STATE BANK
Deposits in This Bank Guaranteed by the
Depositors Guarantee Fund of the State
of Kansas.
l.. A. SHARRARD. President.
T. A. WAGNER, Vice President
A . KENDALL, Cashier.
Ozawkie, jefferson County. Kansas.
April II. 1916.
County Commissioners, Topeka, Kansas.
Gentlemen: l have been very much in
terested i'll the controversy between the
banks of Topeka and the cuStodians of
city and county funds with reference 20
rates of interest that should be paid On
daily balances and on time deposits cover
ing these accounts.
We realize that everything we might say
in this connection will probably be of no
information to you and possibly of very
little interest, However, we can't refrain
from making q few remarks on the subject.
Practically all the banks in Topeka. at
least good number of them, are paying
per cent interest ON time deposits to IN
dividuals This they would not do unless
it was profitable to them If it is profit
time deposits, il would be equally profit
able to pay 1 per cent interest ON city and
and conditions. And. again, if the bamks
can profitably individuals money at
per cent on time deposits there is no good
reason why they can't pay more than :
balances.
State and County funds may legally be
deposited in any safe banking institution
within the state. Civic pride and loyalty
to home Institutions usually prevail in
matters of this kind and they are given to
banks within the city and county and state
producing them, which is only fair and
proper.
This civic pride and loyalty should be re
ciprocai: that is, if home institutions are
given preferences they should be willing to
pay the usual and prevailing rates OF in
terest both time and on daily balances
This, Judging from their concerted and
unanimous action. they are unwilling to do.
Should you conclude to farm out these
funds to responsible outside vet near ny
banks shall be glad to make bid for
a reasonable sum, and are willing to pay
4 per cent interest on six months time de
pOsit and ) per cent on daily balances.
Again realize that our bank is small
institution. vet safe and conservative, and
every dollar deposited with us is absolutely
guaranteed Bank Depositors Guaranty

Three Per Cent
Banks Pay School Board That
Interest on Balances
But Make City Pay Them Six
Per Cent!

l.. NJ. Penwell member of the To-
peka board of education, said; The
Topeka State bank, German American
bank, Bank of Topeka, Central Nation
al bank, Shawnee State bank, Citizens
State bank and Farmers National
bank all bid per cent for the use of
the school money, interest to be paid
on the average daily balance. The
Bank of Topeka bid only per cent.
All of them. or at least nearI ALL
stated in their letters to us that they
would charge the board 6 per cent
interest on all warrant issued and
stamped unpaid for want of funds. B"
The Central National bank made a
contract with the city school board
last February to pay 5 per cent on bal
ances. Why don't the banks pay per
cent interest on the city money the
iSsioners control Editor State
Journal
Miss Hale, city treasurer, said re-
garding the amounts overdrawn:
THE banks have always charge. the
city per cent interest from the time
the warrants are stamped unpaid for
want of funds as long as l have been
in the city hall. The banks cash them
for the school teachers and bring
them to me and / stamp them, giving
them registered number and date.
and we pay interest from this time till
they are paid by US"
In December. 1914, the amount of
outstanding warrants unpaid for the
want of sufficient funds and paid by
the Topeka banks for which they
charged the city per cent interest,
was 6S,117.11.
In March, 1915, the unpaid war
rants issued, all bearing per cent,
amounted to $75,74593.
At the close of December 1915,
$49,159.20 worth of warrants remained
outstanding and unpaid. All of these
amounts, however, have now been
but, but the city had to pay the banks
per cent.
