AFRAID OF HOODOO.
So Capital National VIII Open Thurs.
day Sept. IA.

Because the 18th of September falls
on Friday and Wednesday is the 18th
the officials of the new Capital Ma
tional bank have decided to open up
for business on Thursday, which is
neither the 18th nor Friday. The di-
rectors of the bank are not super
stitious, not in the least wee bit, but
they simply thought it would look bet
ter in print to have the opening come
on Thursday. They want the opening
of the bank to be as auspicious as
possible. So much for good luck.
Edwin Knowles, president of the
bank, said: 81 didn't really pay any
attention to what day the 18th would
time to open up for business, and all 1
knew was that it wouldn't fall on Sun
day But some of the members of the
management didn't like the idea of
starting in on a Friday and SO we are
going to open day ahead of time, on
the 14th.''
Possession of the quarters of the de-
funct First National bank was given
to the officers of the new bank this
morning by Receiver Bradley who
with his force has moved into the Real
Estate building on the corner of
Seventh and Jackson streets. The
Real Estate building was one of the
Devlin holdings.
The capital stock of 100000 of the
Capital National is almost entirely
paid up already; $s2,5OO of it. The
payments were due on Saturday and
this amount was received before even
ing of that day. 1t is probable that
before this evening the balance will
have been received.
81 have never seen payments made
so promptly before said Cashier
Bates, who has moved his desk into
the quarters of the new bank. As
soon as the proper authority is re-
ceived from the comptroller of the
currency at Washington deposits will
be accepted. Previous to that time
drafts and checks can be simply
held pending the necessary authority,
no cash deposits will be considered
until permission is granted from the
government officials.
There is every indication that the
business of the bank is going to be
large" said A H. Bates, the cashier
"We are receiving letters from out OF
town parties desiring to bank with us
We will start out with a business equal
in every way to our expectations.
1--WE will issue f$25,000 national
bank notes to begin with. We have
placed this amount of bonds to cover
this. We will gradually increase this
stock of 100000. This issue will not
be received here for about forty days
yet. 1t takes a long while to make
the plates"
"A numDer OF changes III tne ar
rangement of the interior of the bank
quarters will be made and it is prob
able that in the near future changes
will be made in the building to meet
the ideas of certain of the officials II
this number will be the tearing out OF
the narrow windows on the Seventh
street fronting and their substitution
| by large plate glass lights.
The official designation of the banl
| is the Capital National bank, though
| it has been often called the Capito
National. Capital refers to the city
Capitol refers to the building and We
prefer to be known by the former,
said Mr.. Bates.

Nor has all of the attention of the di-
rectors of the fair been directed towards
the speed ring. There are all kinds of
amuSements, side shows for those who
love to haunt the midway and long for
the exciting features as shown in the
tents which have their seductive spell
ers on platforms in front. Then there

into the sad eyes of the prize cock of
some farm yard who droops, hangs his
head and refuses to look pleasant or
to make an attempt to land the beauty

down in this same department may be
seen the big pumpkin, the prize ear of
corn and all kinds of freaks from the
vegetable world. Or if one chooses he

seen in every division of the live stock
exhibit.

a graduate of the Still College of
Osteopathy and has been practicing in
eastern Kansas until recently locating
in Topeka. She says that osteopathy
is especially adapted to the treatment
of children and treatment of the dis

The train bearing the 101 ranch
outfit arrived a little late today and
were still busily engaged in unloading
at the noon hour. The first car to be
unloaded was the car containing the
buffalo, who Immediately proceeded
to stampede, headed by big old bull
who seemed to realize that he was at
one time master of the situation; prob
ably some of his immediate ancestors
had cavorted over the same ground
that he now found crowded by spec
tators whose antecedents had made
his race a thing of the past. The band
of over a hundred Indians moved in
stole silence from the confines of one
of the cars of the train and took up
their station under the shading
branches of a nearby tree, awaiting
the call from the cook tent which was
to soon be placed in position to fur
nish the meal that was to answer for
both breakfast and dinner. The two
cars of long horned Texas steers were
next liberated and made a dash to
join the herd of buffalo which had
found bit of fresh grass land over
next to the Shunganunga under the
shade of the big trees.

CLOUDS BLOWN AWAY.
State Fair Week Opens With Fine
Weather.

Charley Samson's plea to Weather
Man Jennings for sunny skies and balny
winds this week, evidently went deep
into the coloners soul, for just as the
Sunday dinner dishes were being wash
ed, the sun broke forth in all its eff
fulgence, scattered the clouds which ar
rnored the sky in shades of the dullest
gray, and filled the souls of about 49,
600 people and Charley Samson, secre-
tary of the state fair, with sportive fes-
tive joy.
Things look mighty good for the COM
ing week in the weather line. General
ly fair is the sign hung out at the
weather office today, (and don't say it
out loud), the same sign is expected to
hang unchanged until next Sunday.

ON STATEHOOD.
James Douglas Of PheIps-D Dodge Com.
pany Makes Statement About
Arizona.

New York, Dec. 29.--James Douglas
who is executive head OF mining en-
terprises in Arizona grouped as the
Phelps-Dodge & Company interests. Is
quoted today regarding his views up
on the joint statehood Of Arizona and
New Mexico. Douglas said among 9TH
er things:
ITO force Arizona into union with
New Mexico is to do great wrong to
the people of the former territory, who
in racial antecedents, religious prefer
ences and industrial interests are
wholly unlike the inhabitants Of New
Mexico. New Mexico's population is
sufficient to justify it's admission as a
single state and the people Of Arizona
among whom I have spent rs years,
would rather wait twenty years for
statehood than be Joined to New
Mexico"
