H. Horry Thinks That the Hon-. ored Gentleman Was One of His Ancestors. Mr. William H.

Hurry, who conducts a cigar stand Un the Ports mouth building, is of the opinion that the grave recently discovered in an obscure cemetery In Philadelphia, from the headboard of which it was learned that it contained all that was mortal of Wm. Hurry, the man who rang out the glad tidings of liberty from the old. belfry of Independence Hall in 1776, contains a relative of his. Mr. Hurry is now a man of 65 years, and nas neen a resident or tnls city since the spring of 1869, coming here from Pennsylvania and settling at the close of the Civil war.

Coming as he did from Pennsyl vania, and from near the eastern part of the state, and knowing that his ancestors were soldiers in the patriot army, and prominent in the moulding of the new nation, he feels that he is not overstepping the bounds of probability when he says that Wil liam Hurry, the bell ringer, must have been an "The Hurrys all came from Ire land," remarked Mr. Hurry to the Globe representative, "and I have never seen or heard of one that was not In some way related to my people, and by reason of the fact that this William Hurry was a Pennsylvanian, a patriot and an Irishman, makes me believe that I am a descendent from the same family." During his residence here, Mr. Hurry has been connected for a number of years with the police department, and only recently opened a cigar stand at his present location. He is widely known, and has many friends in the city. ADJUDGED SANE.

E. Kinley and Dr. Katherin' Hughes, when she was again found nsane and was committed to tht state asylum at Osawatomle.

RELATED Governor Folk and the Civic League.

The Kansas Governor Tells What a Job He Has in Keeping the State of Kansas in Proper Order. While little has been said about it in the public press, the Civic League of this city has been moving in the direction of law enforcement. The League now has a membership of about two thousand persons who arc active in measures calculated to accomplish the purposes of the organization. About the first of June it was decided by the League that it would be well to arouse the sentiment of the community by holding a public meeting and by direction of the League, President Lynn extended a courteous invitation to both Governor Hoch oi Kansas and Governor-Folk of Mis souri to address such a meeting Jun 22. Under date of June 3, Governor Folk sent a courteous letter regret ting that an engagement in Kentucky on the date named would prevent hi acceptance of the Invitation.

Governor Hoch seems to have entirely overlooked the matter as shown by the following correspondence: Office of Civic League. Kansas. City, June 22, 1905. "Hon. E.

W. Hoch, Topeka, Kas. "Dear Governor: Some three weeks ago the undersigned, by direction of the Civic League of Kansa? City, an organization compris ing a membership of near two thousand reputable citizens, extended t-you an invitation to address a public meeting on this date. To this in- "vitation no reply has been received, nor have you acknowledged receipt of a letter of commendation sent yo on May 4th, by direction of the League. "On account of these apparent dis courtesies we hesitate to trouble you further, but are emboldened to make another attempt to interest you In the affairs of this county by pub lished statements that you have In structed the Hon.

W. Hoch, Governor. Topeka, July 5, 1905. Mr. J.

C. Lynn, Kansas City, Kas. Dear Sir: I probably owe you an apology for failing to reply to youi recent letter and also to your lettei of commendation which you say yor sent me. The fact is I have simply been overwhelmed with correspond ence and with other official duties and it hag been physically impossible for me to do all the things I have de sired to do. 7 I do not remember the invitation towhich you refer, to address yom Civic League, but I am overwhelmed with invitations of this kind also.

I wish you could occupy this position for a while just to see how impossible it is for one to measure up here to all the expectations of all the people. Everyone thinks his particulai locality or his particular interest is of paramount importance; and that it would not much a governor's time to attend to it, but when these individual and community claims are multiplied by the thousands, you can see the dilemma on the other side. 1 am trying to systematize my work and formulate a policy that will command the approval of my own con science and of all fair-minded people. But to take the matter of law enforcement, for an example the pro-( hibltory law, I wish you could see th countless letters from countless localities the state, asking for heir from ode. Why, it would consume al! of one man's time almost to attend to this matter alone.

-For Instance, have been in correspondence with every county attorney and every sheriff in this state and with innumerable individuals in most of the counties on this one subject of law enforcement. I am trying to stimulate local officers for higher, regard for official obligations, and to stimulate among the private citizens of the state greater courage and greater activity in the enforcement of These efforts have not been entirely fruitless and the condition in the state as a whole is steadily improving.

That gambling exists is a fact well known even to the children of the city, and the question is being freely asked, 'If the gamblers are paying any rev enue to the city, to whom is it paid, and what becomes of it?"

A run was -started on the First State Bank of Argentne Thursday afternoon a short while before closing time. A woman who had a small deposit and whose mind had become in- rushed home and gave out the infor mation that the bank was unsafe, and there was a mad rush made by ai even dozen of excited women to get out all of their little nest egg. Friday morning the rush was continued for a short while. In anticipation of this, the bank sent to the Commercial National Bank, Kansas City, and withdrew 160,000, which they piled on their counters ia plain view of all callers, and those demanding their money were paid without a protest, all that was due them, and still there was money left. This had a tendency to in a manner check the uneasiness.

Several of the deosi. tors, who had withdrawn their meney in the first excitement, returned and re-dlsposited it with the hank. And business men came in and made their usual deposits. This had the desired effect, and by noen of. Friday the trouble was at an end, but the bank kept its doors open until 6 p.

The First State Bank was organized in 18JfO, it withstood the financial crash of 1893, when neighboring banks went down under a far less pressure than that of Thursday. And the last statement given out shows that it has a canital stnelr nf si nnn a surplus of $19,000, with deposits of $216,880.01. It has always been regarded as one of the safest and most conservative financial Institutions in the city, or county, being a branch institution of the National Bank of Commerce of Kansas City, Mo.

When seen by a Globe representative yesterday, Mr. IWHiam Middle-kauf, the cashier, was unable to give the number of depositors that had withdrawn their deposits, but estimated the number at less than twenty, and thought that the withdrawals would probably amount to something near $20,000. Said Mr. Middlekswifr- "We have all the money that we need and can get just as much more at any time from our St. Louis or New York correspondents, and this is not the least possible danger of any further trouble, for the people now see where they were wrong.
