It didn't get a cent for the coal or brick. Still it got tend the funeral of Andreas Mutter, one Kansas had over 5 million dollars more on deposit than ever before in their history." They 'had a total of J110.32S.SS5.90. This growth in deposits has been most wonderful. Ten years ago, In 1894, the total deposits in the state were but 35 million dollars, less than one-third what they are now. In 1896, just preceding the election of McKinley, they were but 32 million dollars.

From that time, they have increased rapidly, being millions in 1898, 65 millions in 1900, 82 millions in 1902 and over 110 millions now. In referring to the statement given out by the bank commissioner's office today, showing the condition of all Kansas banks, both state and national, at the close of business on September 6, 1904, Morton Albaugh, bank commissioner, said: "It is the most gratifying showing ever made by the banks of the state. The deposits are over 5 million dollars greater than ever before. Although the banks carry loans of over 80 million dollars, they have 46 million dollars in cash and of the oldest and best known residents 4 I of that city.

Mutter, was the husband of another daughter of Mrs. Harpersberger. The elder Mutter was at one time an employe and later a close friend of the late Jay Gould, their acquaintance having begun more than forty-five years ago when Gould had not yet amassed the mil lions which he left at his death. He was at that time engaged in the leather tan ning and bark gathering industries In charged up with appropriations to main- tain the convicts who mined the coal and made the hrick. If the- prison got paid in cash for the stuff which it furnishes other institutions it would be almost celf-ustaining.

But it doesn't, and that is why the warden wants the system changed. The warden says the twine plant ha3 been a great success. Besides furnishing the farmers twine cheaper than they could get it from outside concerns it has made money. "We can return the $150,000 revolving fund and the cost of the entire plant and till have money left," said he. "and the plant was not put in for a money-making venture, either." He favors the renewal of the contract to keep Oklahoma prisoners.

He says th state has never lost any money der the contract. He thinks the indeterminate sentence law will prove beneficial and suggests the appointment of a parole officer to look after paroled prisoners and get them jobs. He also urges an appro the heart of Pennsylvania mountains at sight exchange, more than ever before in the history of Kansas banks. The re the Hav We Still a place which was named Gouldsboro, after him. and which is now a thriving for Sloo mes town.

Jay Gould and Colonel Piatt were 1 associated in the business when, in 1S57, i Mr. Mutter became one of the employes in the tannery. His industry and intelligence were above those of most of the other employes, and he was within a short time put in charge of the gangs of men who did the bark peeling. Soon after that time Gould and Piatt became involved in a dispute over the business. Mr.

Mutter sided with Gould, serve in the state banks is 43 Pr cent and in the national banks, 41 per cent. "The banking situation in the state is satisfactory Indeed and the fact that the country is in the midst of a presidential campaign has not affected it in the least. The people in the state, who have uninvested money, are keeping it in the banks and have perfect confidence in its safety there. "The statement shows the condition of the combined banking Institutions of Kansas; that Is, the 161 national banks, the 525 state banks, the 23 private banks, and 1 trust company." It Is as follows: RESOURCES. Loans and discounts-State banks $38,588,377.25 National banks 80,099,057.40 Overdrafts Why pay $4.00 when you can get them for $3.00.

Chaplain O' Brian is pleased to report a 'satisfactory improvement in the moral and spiritual condition of the inmates" State banks 547,906 and because of his position was able to Induce a number of other employees to do so.

Gould showed his appreciation by putting Mutter at the head of the large armed force which for a long time guarded the big; tanneries and the surrounding property, and finally prevented it from falling into the hands of the similar force of Colonel Piatt after the latter had made repeated attacks and failed to gain control of the situation. Gould finally won the fight, and thereafter was a strong friend of Mutter. Mr. Mutter was born in Germany about seventy years ago. and came to this country in 1S55.

Only 15 per cent of the prisoners attend school now. The teachers are convicts, and get nothing for their additional work.

If they were allowed a trifle more than the others the managers believe better results would be obtained. There are 118 convicts who never went toschool at all. About 475 have attended common echoolSj 25 have gone through high schools and 13 have graduated at col-legos.

Captain Bossard spoke to them in their native tongue. their great delight. As the result of the conversation which ensued the three young fellows were given employment. Thus it was that Andreas Mutter earned his first dollar in America, and from that small beginning he amassed a comfortable fortune.
