Work on Missouri Depot Has Inter-

The principal feature at the Missouri
Pacific depot is the work now in progress
for the heating apparatus. The walls for
the new boiler are to be twenty-one
inches thick, cemented with hard cement
and filed with fine pieces Of rock, MAX
ing the structure fire proof. The new
water basin in the basement Is an inter-

in case of high water in the river, water
flowing into the engine room will be
caught in the basin and Immediately
pumped out, thus keeping the basement
in good condition.
The work is being pushed as rapidly as
possible and the walls are assuming
handsome appearance. Visitors in the
city during the week have made many
comments regarding the new structure.

OVER TWO MILLION
Dollars Local Deposits in
Wichita Banks Yesterday.
HEAVIEST EVER KNOWN
Kansas National Takes in
$4,000 in One Day.

Yesterday there were in the banks Of
Wichita in local deposits considerably
more than two millions of dollars, nearly
two and a half The entire week has
been extraordinarily heavy with the
banks, and the forces will have TO be
increased or continue working till late at
night, as they have been for several days.
Tuesday the deposits at the Kansas Ma
tional bank were $4,000. the heaviest
days bushes in the history Of that in
stitution. Wednesday the amount ran up
10 $67, 900, a very heavy figure for one Of
four banks in a city Of ., 600.
Business conditions In Wichita" said
Cashier Martin of the Kansas National,
ARE remarkably strong and indicate IN
usual activity for the months in the fu-
ture. We have had the largest day in the
history Of the bank this week, every day
showing a great advance over correspond
ing days of a year ago. It is the result
of normally improved business conditions.
Wichita is simply growing better. Every
body is making money and more people
are getting next to the fact that Wichita
is to be the commercial center of the
southwest and they are coming here
right along"
President Naftzger of the Fourth Ma
tional. says the deposits in his bank this
week reached the highest in its history.
Same is true of the National Bank of
Commerce. And the average of the week
shows a steady increase, so that it is
plaintly proven that the unprecedented
large deposits are not due to any tenn
pOrary rush or any unnatural condition.
A GOOD many consumptives would be
cured and the worst cases comforted and
relieved by using FOLEY'S HONEY AND
