considered and that no evidence had
shown that the child did not have
good home. He said that the child had
lived with its father for four years and
scarcely knew its mother. and, there

He added that the district court had
placed the child in the custody of the

reverse its decision.
During the trial Judge Wilson kept

CAPITAL STOCK
MADE 100000
Fourth National Bank Doubles
Its Capitalization.
LARGEST IN SOUTHWEST
Demand Has Caused Action
by Stockholders.

The stockholders of the Fourth Ma
tional bank of this city. yesterday held
a meeting at which it was decided to
increase the capital stock Of this insti-
tuition from 100000 to 10000. Out of a
thousand shares, s2Sz4 were represented
in transacting business at the meeting
yesterday This was a Wonderful show
ing and shows the unanimousness of this
action upon the part of the shareholders.
The old stockholders have been given
the preference for purchasing the new
stock and they have taken advantage
of the opportunity. over eighty-fve per
cent of the new stock had already been
subscribed for by the old members.
There are a few out-of-town stockholders
who have not been heard from and there
Will be but few shares left for outsiders.
Capital stock Of banks are increased ac-
cording to an act Of May l, 1856. Other
action taken at the meeting yesterday
was the confirmation of Whitney Tucker
as vice-president of the bank, to succeed
Major Powell, deceased, and the election
of S. B. Amidon as a director TO I'LL a
vacancy made by the death OF Major
Powell
A bank with the capitalization of $780,
600 outdoes any such institution in the
southwest. The highest capitalization of
any of the other banks is $4,000 1t
has been sufficiently great heretofore, but
the time has come when the wealth and
prosperity of Wichita and the mighty
cal for money in the city demand an
institution of this size. 1t is becoming a
necessity, and long ago the Fourth Ma
tional people commenced figuring on an
increase in the capital stock OF the bank.
They felt the demand and have sought
to supply it.
Right along in line with the raising of
the stock Is the long-standing fact that
the Fourth National has given out its
of enlarging its office space.
The plan is to place the stairway in the
building back to the rear of the build
ing and then the bank will occupy, as
an addition. the room right in the rear
of its present quarters.
