Yates Center Bank Closes. The REGISTER is sorry to learn that the Citizens State Bank, of Yates Center, was closed last week on the finding of the bank examiner. It is reported that he found the accounts several thousand dollars short and ordered the closing, which was the first intimation the people of the town had that anything was wrong. The bank was the depository for the county. which had about $14,000 in its vaults. Twenty business men and farmers are on the bank's bond as security to the county, but it is not known as yet that they will have to make up any deficit, The individual de posits were in small sums and aggregate about $18,000. This leaves one bank, the Yates Center Bank, alone in the field. The Citizens' State Bank was organized a few years ago by local citizens and by the Buffalo bank directors who moved their bank to the Center and reorganized the old National Bank which failed in the hard times of 1893. Its president was W. H. Waymire, and its cashier was E. A. Runyan. It was considered the old, substantial bank of the county.

The state board of agriculture last week issued a statement of the acreage and condition of winter wheat in Kansas. The acreage is estimated at 2.3 per cent. less than in 1899. The condition is regarded as first-class and made still more favorable by rains of the past week. Within the next week over 5,000 bushels of corn will be shipped from Newton to the famine sufferers of India. Two carloads will be sent from Newton, four from Halstead and one from Lehigh, Marion county. This has been contributed by the Mennonites of that section. Students in the Kansas university in the year 1873 will remember a roly-poly little fellow with a wealth of sorrel hair who bore the name of James Harris. Well, James Harris is now one of the literary lions of London and chief editor of a heavy review. - Kansas City Journal. Mrs. Nettie E. Randall, wife of a Kansas City traveling man who was forcibly ejected from a Rock Island train near Topeka last summer because she had a broker's ticket, was recently given a judgment of $5,000 against the company because of the injuries received and humiliation caused by the ejectment. Matters in connection with shutting down of the Citizens' state bank of Yates Center have mystified the depositors. Cashier Runyan says he knows nothing whatever of the missing $8,000.

STATE NEWS PARAGRAPHED. Lincoln county's new courthouse at Lincoln Center was dedicated recently, and large crowds from over the county attended the exercises. As a freight train loaded with coal cars was crossing Short creek on the Memphis line, near Galena, the bridge gave way. Five cars went through. The Rock Island hotel at Herington was totally destroyed by fire, flames starting in the basement and soon being beyond control. Loss, about $5,000. Gus F. Neubert, of Kansas City, grand secretary of the Knights of Pythias, fell a victim of pickpockets on a street car in Cleveland, O., who robbed him of $300. Dr. J. C. Pitts, three miles southeast of Osborne, was killed by a bull in one of the pastures on his farm. His body was rescued only after pitchforks had been used to drive the bull away. A Lyon county young man bit on the old joke the other day. He answered an advertisement which promised to tell how to make his pants last, and got an answer to make his coat and vest first. James Kearney, of Topeka, recently performed a feat of daring. The rope to the flagpole on the state house broke. The dome is 285 feet above the ground. The pole is of oak and extends 42 feet above the dome. He climbed the pole and put a new rope in the pulley. Fifteen dollars was paid him for the work. Bank Commissioner Briedenthal sent stock subscription books for the Kansas semi-centennial exposition company to each state and private bank in Kansas. The promoters of the exposition want to raise $50,000 from the sale of stock and they decided to push the sale through the state and private banks. Charles H. Miller was found dead in a bath tub at Fort Leavenworth. He was at the home of his daughter, whose husband, Capt. Lindsay, of the Thriteenth United States infantry, is in Manila. Miller was a noted character in the early days of Kansas. He was city marshal of Leavenworth and was United States marshal under President Grant. The state contest board decided the contest for the democratic nomination for district judge in the Chase-Coffey-Lyon district in favor of Dennis Madden, of Emporia. This is a serious blow to W. A. Randolph, the present judge, who was a candidate for renomination by the fusion forces. Randolph and Madden each claimed to be the regular nominee. H. H. Foreman and wife celebrated their sixty-fifth wedding anniversary at Independence recently. Both are 88 years old. They were born in Kentucky, but soon after their marriage moved to Illinois, where two of their sons were born in a house built by Abraham Lincoln. The couple has ten children living, also 32 grandchildren and 16 great-grandchildren. E. A. Runyan was arrested at Yates Center charged with the embezzlement of $12,000. The arrest was made on a warrant sworn to by County Treasurer J. S. Culver, in behalf of the officers of the Citizens' state bank, of which Runyan was cashier. At the time of the bank's failure Runyan turned over to the creditors every cent of property owned by himself and wife. Gov. Stanley has appointed F. D. Coburn and W. H. Barnes, of Topeka; Ewing Herbert, of Hiawatha; L. F. Randolph, of Nortonville; H. F. Sheldon, of Ottawa; C. A. Mitchell, of Cherryvale; John Madden, of Emporia; E. C. Little, of Abilene; W. H. Mitchell, of Beloit, and J. E. Sterling, as Kansas commissioners to the Pan-American exposition, to be held at Buffalo. The legislature has been asked to appropriate $50,000 for a Kansas exhibit and Kansas expects to outdo all other states. Henry Ross, of Gueda Springs, met with an accident which restored his voice. Two weeks ago Ross was suddenly and without warning stricken dumb. He was preparing to go to a specialist in St. Louis when he recovered the use of his vocal organ. He was carrying an empty water pitcher in his hand when he stumbled and struck his forehead with it, inflicting a serious wound. An instant after the accident he said: "My God, I have killed myself." He has been able to talk as well as ever since the accident. The suit of the state of Kansas against the state of Colorado to enjoin the latter from diverting the waters of the Arkansas river may not be filed in the United States supreme court this fall by Attorney General Godard. Rains have been falling in great profusion in western Kansas and eastern Colorado and as a result the Arkansas river has more water in it than has ever been known. As the suit was to be based upon the proposition that Colorado, through its vast system of irrigation ditches, had robbed Kansas of its water and the lands in the Arkansas valley had been greatly damaged, the attorney gen-

# STATE NEWS PARAGRAPHED. Coffeyville voted $20,000 bonds to build an electric light plant. Free rural delivery has been established out of Beloit and Hutchinson. The Olsted stoves will be manufactured in Lawrence. This means much for that city in a business way. While playing "pull away" at school William Kimball, a 13-year-old boy 15 miles southwest of Salina, was fatally injured. J. V. Randolph, who died at Emporia recently, was a pioneer settler and his was the first marriage that tock place in Lyon county. Dr. H. A. Pickerell, of Beverly, arrived in Salina to be treated for the hiccoughs. He had tried more than 30 remedies without avail. A feature of the emancipation celebration at Kansas City, Kan., will be a free-for-all baby show, the mulatto having an equal chance with the infant of most sable hue. Gov. Stanley will make a speech. At Fredonia the other night when Deputy Sheriff McCray went to feed George Shull and Ched Jackson, in jail for highway robbery, they struck him over the head with a shovel handle. After a lively fight for five minutes they made their escape. The state contest board decided the contest for the democratic nomination for district judge in the Chase-Coffey-Lyon district in favor of Dennis Madden, of Emporia. This is a serious blow to W. A. Randolph, the present judge, who was a candidate for renomination by the fusion forces. Randolph and Madden each claimed to be the regular nominee. E. A.

At the time of the bank's failure Runyan turned over to the creditors every cent of property owned by himself and wife. Seven prisoners made their escape from the United States military prison at Fort Leavenworth the other night. They sawed through one of the bars of the cage in which they were confined and getting into the corridor found little trouble in breaking away the brick wall. With a rope fastened to the bars of the cage each prisoner crawled through the hole backward and let himself down with the rope. Judge Hook, of the federal court, issued a writ ordering the county commissioners of Stevens county to levy a special tax to pay a judgment of $5,000 for defaulted interest on $82,000 improvement bonds, issued in 1885, for building bridges, school houses, etc. The commissioners set up the plea that it will be impossible to pay either principal or interest as nearly three-fourths of the land in the county has been sold for taxes. Mrs. M. J. Wickersham, aged 70, of Fort Scott, was killed by her grandson, Ora G. Scott, who sank a hatchet five times into her brain. Scott is but 22 years old and just returned from California on account of being deranged. He was formerly a clerk for a Kansas City commission company. Scott made no attempt to escape and is now in jail. He says he was compelled to do this terrible deed by a man who had him hypnotized. A recent telegram from Lewiston, Me., said: One hundred men are scouring the woods about Durham, ten miles from here, for Miss Lizzie Bell, daughter of a prominent citizen of Topeka, Kan., who in religious frenzy has disappeared. She has been attending Evangelist Sanford's meeting at Shiloh, where the Holy Ghost society has a temple dedicated to the Living God, and had been suffering from insanity due to religious excitement. Henry Ross, of Gueda Springs, met with an accident which restored his voice. Two weeks ago Ross was suddenly and without warning stricken dumb. He was preparing to go to a specialist in St. Louis when he recovered the use of his vocal organ.

As the suit was to be based upon the proposition that Colorado, through its vast system of irrigation ditches, had robbed Kansas of its water and the lands in the Arkansas valley had been greatly damaged, the attorney general may have to wait until a dry year in order to get evidence that will enable him to maintain such an action. About 40 officers of the First regiment, Kansas national guard, went into camp last week near McCook athletic field, Lawrence, for a three-days' officers' school of instruction. The school was under the command of Gen. Wilder S. Metcalf, colonel of the First regiment. Lincoln county's new courthouse at
