The information is given out that
 F. M. Murphy has purchased the Congress house and has already had plans prepared for its improvement. The plans provide for extending the second story front out to line with
 the sidewalk and the addition of two large rooms there, and an increase to the porch of the first floor. A piazza is also to be extended along the west side, the kitchen in the rear torn out and an addition of ten rooms built there. The old barn is also to be re- moved and replaced with the office building now on the corner of Gurley street and the alley. The grounds on the west side are to be improved and planted with flowers and grass, thus making one of the most attrac- i've little family hotels in the territory. It is said that work will be commenced at once on the proposed improve ments.
 The title of the polite comedy "Too Rich to Marry" is derived from the fact that the hero of the story is in love with a young Dunkard girl. The sect of Dunkards are averse to great wealth, and as the young man Is to inherit a great fortune, he does not find favor in the eyes of the Dunkard mother. He is bright and handsome and in every way a desirable match for the girl, except-a strange excep- ton in these days-that he is too rich. This objection on the part of the Dunkard mother develops a series of complications, exquisitely amusing in the comedy, which shows how a young man of brains can marry the girl he loves, in spite of the fact that he is a millionaire. The comedy is interesting and in structive as showing the development of American manners and customs. The author has seized the spirit of the present time in the development of an excrutiatingly funny plot from ex clusively American characters and scenes. In so doing, he has produced | a work that will live and take rank | with the best efforts of the worlds | greatest writers. The picture comedy | will be seen at the Dake opera house | Jan. 2.

down-with not a cent to settle up. Van Vlissingen cannot overcome the scruples of Aletha and is compelled to return to the city without her. Aletha, however, persuaded her mother to take her to the city to learn to paint. Van Vlissingen refers her to Ponsonby. Ponsonby has no other pupils, so Van Vlissingen is compelled to supply the appearance of school by dressing as girl. In disguise he wins the heart of the old lady and gains her consent to marry Aletha by such diplomacy as is only fair in love and war. The comedy will be seen at the Dake opera house Jan. 2.

Rrened % the score.

Three Kansas farmers on their
way to witness the coronation of
Edward VII. visited a New York
newspaper Office where they were
viewed with interest and amiabIe
amusement. The article about them
works in the shop-worn gag that one
of them SHE'D at the elevator. The
New York newspaper relates with
evident JUNCTION that this member of
the trio never rode in an elevator
before. But the Kansas farmer
evened up the score by telling the
New York reporters that out in Reno
county they take their produce to
market with automobiles. This the
New York newspaper writer's accept
ed as a serious statement of fact.
It did not seem odd to them that a
man accustomed to operate an auto
mobile would shy at an elevator. But

WANT NO BRANCH BANKS.
Western FinancIers in Convention at Kan
sas City Express Hostility to q
Bill Before Congress.

Kansas City, Mo-, May 15.-The 500
delegates from Kansas, Missouri, Ok
lahoma and Indian territory in at
tendance at the bankers convention
expressed their disapproval of the
Fowler bill now before congress
which provides that banks may es-
tablish branches anywhere.
j. n. Mcdonald, president of the
First national bank of Chanute, Kan,
said that in opposing branch banking
he voiced the sentiment of nearly all
the bankers of Kansas. Branch
banking would mean "a revolution in
the banking business of the country -
he said. mo one would be benefited
by branch banking but the greedy
gluttons of plutocratic combinations,
who wish by this act to get their
clutches on every dollar in the coun-
try" The average depositor in the
west, he said, would feel safer with
his money in the hands of his local
banker than in a branch bank owned
by money grabbers of the east.
Charles G. Dawes, eX-comptroller
of the currency, addressed the bank
ers in opposition to 'asset currency"
AS opposed to the plans for asset
currency, and in order that collaps-
ing credits may be protected in times
of panic by a greater elasticity in our
circulation, he favors an emergency
circulation, unsecured by bonds, but
subject to so large a tax that it will
not only be made safe but cannot be
used as an instrument of current
business. This currency will appear
only when needed in panic, and viii
be retired when the emergency is
over on account of the heavy tax.

BANKERS IN CONVENTION.
Five Hundred Delegates from Missouri,
Kansas and Oklahoma Discuss Finan-
al Problems at Kansas City.

Kansas City, Mo-, May 14.-The
bankers of Kansas, Missouri, Indian
territory and Oklahoma met in con-
vention in this city Tuesday. About
500 bankers are here. 1t is the larg-
est convention of bankers ever held
in the west. At Convention hall to-
night reception, banquet and ball
was given in honor of the visitors.
The session of the convention We'd
nesday was the most important
of all. At that session the subject
of discussion was assets Curren-
cy," question that is agitating the
banking world all over the country.
The national bank currency now in
circulation is issued to the banks by
the government and secured by gov
eminent bonds deposited in Wash
ingtOn by the banks. This makes
the currency good as long as the gov
eminent bonds are good, because the
government guarantees it. The as
sets currency plan contemplates the
issuance to bank by the government
of currency which the government
does not guarantee, but which is Sc
cured by the assets of the bank, and
the currency is a first lien against
the banks assets, so that if bank
should fail the currency would be
protected before the deposftors
would get anything. James H. Eek
els and Charles G. Dawes, former
comptrOllers of the currency, spoke
upon this subject, and it was gen
orally discussed.
