FAMILIAR NAMES. Sooth Hutchinson B e s , Blakcharp Those names sound familiar to many Bloomington people who have money sunk out in that visionary Kansas towu. A dispatch from New York, dated Thursday says : "The Empire Loan and Trust Company, of Hutchinson, Kas., opened handsome offices at No. 185 Montague street, Brooklyn, about two years ago; and when it was announced that Major Benjamin R. Corwin, a man prominent in social and Grand Army circles, was to manage the eastern branch of the concern, everybody who knew the Major concluded that the concern must be all right financially; but it wasn't, and collapsed within a year. The President of the company is Ben.Blanchard, of South Hutchinson, Kas., and Mr. Blanchard, visited Brooklyn in 1888. Blanchard was President of a company known as the luter-State Investment Company, which was engaged in booming South Hutchiuson. On his return to Kansas he made arrangements for a errand excursion to South Hutchiuson, chartered cars and carried a lot of prominent Brook-1 lymtes to Kansas. The tour was a junket, carried on without regfird to expense. On ! the return trip Mr. Blanchard proj duced certain agreements for the purchase of blocks of lots, and guaranteed twenty per cent, profit within ninety days. The Brooklyn tourists seized these opportunities to become possessed of "desirable corner lots," together with Mr, Blancbard's guarantee. Now, just where the Inter-State Investment Company euds and tbe Empire Loan and Trust Company begins nobody seems to know. All that they do know is that the investments proved dizzy failures, Among those who were bitten were ex-Congressman James and Henry S. Williams. The excursionists, to show their gratitude to Mr. Bluoohard, presented bis wife with a ser vice of solid silver. One ot tbe interested parties estimated that Brooklyn people had $t0,000 invested when the crash came." Miss Nettie Harrell, daughter of Jobu P.
