Chicago May 2-ChcagO seems to be under
going an epidemic OF hank consultations and
other bank changes of such a radical nature
that no one is able to predict what the next
day will bring forth in the way of mergers. an
nexatons and new institutions. The absorp-
ton of the Metropolitan National by the First
National Bank. recently announced and which
took effect on May l, was a surprise in bank
ing circles. Now comes the announcement
Of new bank. the National Bank Of Com
merce, with a capital Of $2OOOOOO. of which
Isaac n. Perry is president News of the new
venture was received with consdera BILE aston
ishment, Mr.. Perry who was formerly vice
president Of the Continental had previously an
nounced his acceptance of the presidency Of the
Southern Trust and Banking Company. Of New
Orleans. The withdrawal of the Metropolitan
National from the field led a number of prom
inent business men to believe that there
an opportunity for a new. enterprise, and the
National Bank Of Commerce was the result.
The organizers Of the new bank pointed out
that the last five years have seen a remarkable
growth IN the financial. commercial and manu-
featuring interests of Chicago. that the city is
now assuming a high place as a financial
centre and that while the business Of the city
has grown fourfold in the last five years there
has been practically no increase in the total
OF the capital and surplus of the city's banks.
Another indication Of the recognition by bust
ness of these facts the organization
during the week of the Northwestern Trust
and Savings Bank. with a capital stock of
$25OOOO
Another bank merger which seems to be i'm
minent, and for which negotiations are well
under way, is that Of the Commercial National

These judgments, with interest. have been in
creasing at an alarming rate in the last two
Y Irs. and now the city finds itself confronted
with an annual liability in the way of interest
amounting to $4,000. which must be added
TO the budget BY floating the bonds. which
were authorized by popular vote time
since, the city will get a reduced rate Of interest
and II IS figured that $4,000 will be saved
The ordinance passed by the council provides
for the issuance of twenty year bonds to date
from January l. 1902. with interest at 315 per
cent For the payment of the interest a direct
annual tax Of S15O.OO0 is TO be levied and for
a sinking fund a tax of $150OO0. The ordinance
is now in the hands OF the finance committee
and If IT meets with approval is expected
the city will be bonded TO the limit and the
present debt swelled to about $19OOOOO0

early days OF the corps were Major George r Her

WORTH THE ASKING.
County May Be Able to Get Land from
Burlinqton.

If the proper interest is taken by
the Ottumwa Commercial association,
the board of supervisors and others of
the city and county, the Burlington
railway company may be induced to
make Wapello county gift which will
be of great use and benefit to the peo-
pie living in the vicinity of Agency, as
we'll as the merchants of this city.
This gift would be nothing more nor
less than the old Burlington right of
way between Ottumwa and Agency or
that part of it which is not going to
be used when the new double track is
put into commission. Such a gift will
solve the question of roads between
this city and the thriving little town
at the east and will be appreciated by
every one in the eastern half of the
county if the company can be prevailed
upon to give it away.
Grant to Union County.
A few Gays ago the Burlington COM
pany gave to the board of supervisors
of Union county grant to the road
bed between Alton and Creston, or the
greater part of it, on certain condi-
lions. The supervisors of Wapello
county would, it is thought. agree TO
the same conditions with regard to the
roadbed on Agency Hill, and if the
Burlington were to make this gift it
would at once secure the good will of
many residents of the county and Sc
cure itself against the possibility OF
an electric car line between this city
and Agency.
Road is Bad.
The wagon road between Ottumwa
and Agency is at best rough and billy
| and two hills especially, one at Sugar
Creek and the next one beyond, Just
| west of Garrison Rock, are steep anc
sometimes almost impossible in wet
| weather. The hauling of heavy loads
is almost impossible at times. The
| back road to Agency is also full OF
hills and in some places is very low
and at times muddy.
The condition of these roads is re
sponsible for the fact that Ottumwa
merchants do not get as much custom
. from people living in and about Agen
