The Manhattan Enterprise from Manhattan, Kansas • 1

MANHATTAN ENTERPRISE VOLUME I. TUESDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1907. PUBLISHED WEEKLY NUMBER 31 A REMARKABLE SHOWING Banks at Riley and Leonardville Publish Statements That Will Be Hard to Equal. The State Bank Commissioner issued a call for a statement of the state banks on their business on November 22, but stated that he did not care for its publication. The Riley State Bank and the Farmers Merchants of Leonardville published their statements just the same however.

The Riley bank shows a loss of cash but it still has over ONE THIRD as much cash and sight exchange as it has deposits and has increased its loans over twelve per cent. The Farmers Merchants bank at Leonardville makes a marvelous showing. it has almost TWO THIRDS as MUCH CASH and sight exchange as deposits, showing more cash now than in August. We erstand that neither of these banks 1 put any restrictions upon withdrawals and if that is the case they are certainly a credit to the county. The Manhattan State Bank also had a much better statement than in August and they will publish it when the call is made on National Banks which will be soon.

It is understood that all the banks will be able to make an excellent showing, some of them the best in years and it is expected that the publication of this statement will give rest to the uneasy.

H. Yale's "Everlasting Devil's Auction." Chas. H.

It will appear at the Opera' House Thursday day, December 5.

75 Club Organized. One of the most enthusiastic and rousing meetings that has been heid in Saline in a long time was that held at Henry Eberhardt's office last evening to advance the interests of Judge Rollin R. Rees as a candidate for congress from the Fifth Kansas district. The idea of holding the meeting was conceived about noon, a few letters sent out to the republicans of the city, and the result was amazing. The room, which is one of the largest office rooms in the city, was hardly equal to the emergency and the hallway leading from the stairways was filled as weir the office itself.

And everybody was on hand early, and all were enthusiastic for Rees for con- gress. A "Rees for Congress" club was organized and nearly a hundred men placed their names on the list. State Senator Fred H. Quincy was made the temporary chairman and Henry Eberhardt was made the secretary. Among those who made short talks were James A.

Kimball, Z. C. Millikin, C. H. Shultice, R.

L. Barrick, F. L. Weaver and T. W.

Roach. One of the most ple sing addresses of the evening was made by Mr. Shultice, who went to Ottawa county In 1867, and lived there until a few months ago, when he returned to Salina to reside. He has known Judge Rees probably longer than any other First Showing of Christmas Goods WILL BE IN OUR NEW BASEMENT DEPARTMENT 8 Friday Morning, December 6th We want you all to see this new -entrance in rear of ready to wear department. 1750 square feet more of 888088 is shall selling right always or room your be -larger our money Some aim than to back.

He has seen the judge develop into a boy and then into a man, and he paid him a very high tribute as a citizen, lawyer, and a jurist.

Mr. Shultice has been more or less of a politician and stated that he had taken part in every convention and caucus held in Ottawa county from the first to the last, prior to his departure for Salina. When the club had been fully organized and almost a hundred men had signed the roll, Judge Rees made his appearance and addressed the club for about a half an hour. He touched upon the things of government that should be looked after by a congressman representing the Fifth Kansas district; he touched upon the tariff question, the railroad question, the primary election, and several other matters that are at this time attracting the attention of the people. It was a most pleasing alk and SO say that the judge set himself right among his admirers would scarcely be expressing the situation.

It is declared that the membership of the club will reach fully Journal. Dr. Burton R. Rogers will give his lecture on "A Field for Women in the Study, Prevention and Eradication of Tuberculosis," at Institute hall Thursday afternoon instead of on Thursday evening as was announced in last week's Republic.

Rogers Created a Sensation at Emporia With His Paper. Prof. Burton R. Rogers, assistant in the veterinary science department at the K. S.

A. C. read a paper on "Tuberculosis" Saturday morning at the annual session of the Kansas Academy of science which was being held in Emporia. This is the same paper which he will give free Thursday afternoon at Institute hall. A special to the Topeka Capital from Emporia has the following to say in part regarding the paper: A sensation was created this forenoon at the annual session of the Kansas Academy of Science, now being held in Norton Science hall at the State Normal, by a paper on tuberculosis, read by Prof.

Burton R. Rogers of the Agricultural college at Manhattan. He takes the ground that tuberculosis can only be caused by the tuberculosis germ entering a living body, and claims that the terrible scourage can be eliminated from the country. There are but two ways for contamination, he claims--by inhaling germs contained in the dry expectorations of contaminated persons, and by eating diseased meat. The former, he claims is comparatively insignificant as compared with the latter, and he therefore claims that if all diseased animals are extirpated it will be but a short time ere, with care, the dread disease may be eliminated also from the human family.

A few years ago he was a federal meat inspector in Iowa, and he estimates that 6 per cent of the hogs and cattle of the country have tuberculosis, more or less. He says the packers now, each year, are purchasing these diseased animals, and are having them condemned on their hands; that they will continue to purchase them and they increase each coming year, and that it would be to the interest, financially and otherwise, to at once purchase all the tubercular animals in the country, if they knew just where they could be 10- cated. His plan is to locate every where a tubercular animal comes from, by means of tags to be attached to the ear of every animal brought to market, so, that after it has slaughtered, it can be identified, as well as the place whence it come and from whom it had been purchased. In this manner, he claims, every infected animal in the country may be located. AN INOVATION IN OYSTERS Allingham and Beattie Receive Their Supply in Sealshipt Carriers.

An inovation in the oyster line is being 'introduced by Allingham Beattie- new device for the shipment of oysters, called the Sealshipt Carrier. The oysters are shipped direct from the beds to the dealer without being handled in the usual way or placed in a wooden tub with a quantity of dirty water and ice. By the Sealshipt method the oysters are shucked and placed directly in a sanitary, wholesome Carrier, which is sealed, air-tight, and imbedded in ice in an outer case. The ice is often renewed, but the inner carrier containing the oysters is never opened till it reaches the dealer. By this means the solid oyster meats are kept at almost the same temperature as the bottom of the ocean.

All impurities are kept out and all flavor is kept in. In some states in which the Pure Food law is being vigorously enforced, the sale of tub oysters is prohibited. Sealshipt Oysters, however, are sold in all states and are recognized by Pure Food Inspectors as being absolutely pure food, and entirely free from preservatives. Many people regard the plump oyster as preferable to the slim, gray oyster. That is a mistake.

The size of the oyster is merely a matter of age, and the large, white variety 1s too often the result of having been shipped directly in contact with water and ice. The Sealshipt Oyster is of the gravish variety and is as fresh, firm, and juicy as when first taken from the water. Allingham Beattie are demonstrating the value of the Sealshipt Oyster, to all comers. They are also issuing a small booklet, called Sealshipt Sense, containing many valuable hints on the matter of selecting oysters and many recipes for fancy oyster dishes. Mrs.

The sad news was received here Saturday afternoon of an accident at Abilene which resulted in the instant death of Harry George, the 13-yearold son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry George, formerly of this city. Harry, in company with two other boys, was out hunting, and had succeeded in chasing a coon into a hollow log. He stepped upon the log and was to shoot the coon when the boys drove it out but in some way he either fell Or dropped the gun, no one knows which, and the bullet pierced his breast, killing him instantly.

Harry made his home here with his parents and attended the city schools until about six years ago. He was a child who had always been handicapped on account of very poor health but was a general favorite among his playmates, by whom his sudden death will be greatly mourned.
