KENT.
DEATH OF LUTHER EATON.

DEATH OF LUTHER EATON.
 Luther Eaton, Kent's most promi nent business man, and well known throughout the Housatonie valley, ow- ing to his prominence in the tobacco industry, passed away, early Friday afternoon. Luther Eaton was born in Kent in 1926, the son of Ira Eaton and Percinda Berry Eaton. Ira Eaton re- sided on the farm at North Kent, now occupied by Everett Thompson, which was owned by Luther Eaton, and now part of his estate. 4 bout the year 1853, MT Eaton moved to the village, buying the farm now occupied by George Austin. MT Eaton married Sophronia B.. Tobey, who survives nection with the tobacco industry dassze6 probably as early as 1861. Thought tobacco in those days and received it on the depot platform. Later he erected warehouse on his property, but for the last few years has rented the Hinsdale Smith ware house east of the railroad track. For the past two years he has had William Templeton associated with him in the tobacco business. Previous to that for a number of years, Selectman John industry. MT Eaton had three broth CTS, Burrett Eaton, who died Septem- Der 22, 1882, Reuben Eaton, whose death occurred on September 23, 1889, and Russell Eaton, who passed away March g, 1899. They were all men of wealth and commanding influence in the community. MT Eaton took an interest in the affairs of the town. He was one of the organizers of the Kent Water Co, was a director of the same and it's president the day of his death. He was actually interested in the building the sewer. in fact, financed the move. Since the closing of the iron business, he has been the main- stay of the working men of the village in the winter time, as his tobacco warehouse has generally been in oper- atiOn from two to four months. He had held the office of selectman and town treasurer and had represented Kent ID the Legislature. MT Eaton was member of the Congregational church, and a few years gave S2OO0 being raised. About the year 1878 he built a handsome residence on the main street, where he breathed his last on Friday. In politics he was an intense democrat, and up to within a few years had the power to influence the elections any way he chose. In personal appearance he was a typical old New Englander, with a large, spare frame, and a piercing eye, which looked from under shaggy eyebrows. While sometimes gruff in manner, un- derneath his coat beat a warm heart, and to those who knew him intimate ly he was most delightful companion. For the last year he has steadily fail ed, and his business interests have been looked after largely by his neph- ew, Hon Charles A. Eaton, Rents capable judge of probate and town treasurer.

Governor Frantx Surprised.

Washington, October 2s-'It was e sur prise to me-" said Governor Frantz of Oklahoma, tonight. In speaking of the action of Acting Governor Filson. in is suing a proclamation declaring a legal holiday of six days and the Losing of the banks of the territory, as result. T have been away from Oklahoma for several days" said the governor, and therefore l am not so familiar with the financial situation there, but I am sat isfied that the acting governor took the step on the advice of the bankers of the territory.
 "The small country banks have large deposits in St. Louis and Kansas City and the action of those banks in refusing to ship any currency to the country banks of Oklahoma makes it impossible for the latter to handle their business.
 q do not see how it can injuriously affect the railroad or cotton business. as seems to be feared on the New York exchanges. However, if 1t is found that the holiday order results in stagnaton of business, it can be revoked at any time"
 Governor F'rantz called at the treasury department and brought Acting Governor F'ilson's telegram to the attention of Secretary Corteyou. They discussed the financial situation in Oklahoma but no decision was arrived at and the coli ference will be resumed tomorrow.

OKLAHOMA BANKS
 GIVEN 4 HOLIDAY Acting Governor FiIsOn Issues
 the Order
  TIME Ex TENDS FULL WEEK Owing To Inability To Get Currency From St. Louis and Kansas City Banks Will Wait for Diff
 ferent Conditions.
TIME Ex TENDS FULL WEEK

Oklahoma City, Okla. october 2s. Every bank in Oklahoma City re- mained closed today in accordance with orders issued by Acting Territorial Governor Charles Filson It is under stood the order affects all naticnal banks in Oklahoma and Indian Terri tory.
 The action was taken because the banks of Kansas City and St. Louis re- fused to forward cash to the banks of the southwest. It is said that a tele- phone consultation of many of the bankers of Oklahoma. Indian Territory, Arkansas and Northern Texas took place during the early hours this morn- ing and that all decided upon similar action.
 There has been no uneasiness In this city and the bankers say the deposits last week were greater than at any previous week in the month. The clos ing is for the purpose of protection In case of run. Since the banks here could not get cash from Kansas City in case of a run they considered the risk too great. Tho banks of this city are carrying many of the small banks over this territory. They have ar- ranged to issue clearingh ouse certif- cates until conditions improve.
 The banks of the southwest are fur ther embarrassed because of tho de- nand of cash to move the cotton crop.
 The governors proclamation follows:
 Whereas. It appears to the under signed, acting governor of the territory of Oklahoma, that all of tho leading cities of the United States through their clearinghouse associations have entered into an agreement to protbct themselves against conditions which they are apparently unable to control and by such concerted action are refus- ing to ship currency to country banks which have deposits with them or to honor the bills of ladinGs drawn upon the banks of such, or to pay checks of customers over the counters, and,
 Whereas Such action makes it i'm possible for the banks of Oklahoma to meet the immediate demands upon them for currency to pay for the cot ton and other products of the terri tory. and
 Whereas, our banks appear to be in solvent condition. therefore,
 Be 1t ordained that legal holiday, extending from October 2s, six days to November 2, be proclaimed
