Morton Albaugh, State Bank Commissioner, has prepared abstract of the reports of the 422 state and private banks and the 119 national banks doing business in Kansas which show th total pnndto ence of distinguished residents of Illinois, a splendid silver service valued at $10,000. Goodrich, Nov. 16. The schooner Marine City, which broke adrift from her anchorage off this port diuing the terrific gale of Thursday night, is surely lost.

The officer was within seeing distance was presented today to the battleship S7 million dollars.

Even Mr. Albaugh had no idea the deposits were so large and they certainly tell a wonderful story of the prosperity of the state. The amount has been steadily increasing for the past several years and no one cares to guess the average sum they may reach next year. The individual deposits in the state banks aggregate 42 million dollars, while the individual depoists in the national banks amount to 33 millions. The average reserve held in the state banks amounts to 53.21 per cent, and that in the national banks 43.TS per cent.

While there are over three times as many state banks as national banks the capital stock of th? former aggregates but million dollars as compared with 8 million dollars of the latter. As to surplus funds the two clases of banks are on a par each having about a million and a half of dollars. Following is the statement compiled by Mr. Albaugh: Illinois lying in Hampton Roads.

In northern Kansas, are greatly mystified over the sudden appearance of great holes in their alfalfa fields. The holes vary from two to eight feet in depth, five to fifteen feet in width, and are sometimes 200 or 300 feet lorg. Instances have been known where the earth suddenly has given way while teams were going through the fields. The sink is not gradual, but sudden. A few days ago some section hands were at work near an alfalfa field on Edward Randall's farm near this place.

They heard a cow bawl, but no cow was in sight. The noise seemed to come from under the ground. The He May Be an Escaped Convict for All the Officer Know. Special to the Capital. Leavenworth, Nov.

George Berry, who has been studying the phenomena for some time, has discussed it with some of the professors at the Kansas State Agricul- tural college, where he is erecting a new science ha.lL He now advances the theory that it Is caused by the washing away of the dirt several feet below the surface leaving an open space Into which the earth sinks from above. Others believe this theory will not hold because the phenomena occur on t5 level ground as well as on the sides of bills. The holes always are in 8 alfalfa fields, however.
