Handsome
Fixtures

The First National Bank of Chicka-
sha, now complete with its new fix
lures and furniture, presents probably
as handsome an interior as may be
found in any bany in the Southwest.
The fixtures are built entirely of Ital-
ian and Georgia marble, a quality of
marble as beautiful as it is durable,
golden oak being used wherever wood
Is necessary. The new desks are also
of golden oak. For harmony and beau
ty of Interior decoration and the con
yenience of arrangement the bank is
surpassed by no other in Oklahoma.
In installing the new fixtures the
working space was conveniently di-
vided into offices for cashier, two
paying and receiving tellers and a
bookkeeper. an exchange department
and a collection and transit depart
ment. Steel caging separates the Of
fices.
The bank has also added private
room for the benefit of customers who
desire to transact private business.
This room will also be used in con-
nection with the safety deposit vaults
which have recently been put in.
The old bank fixtures were taken
to the National Bank at Verden.

mother of the animal. He was a Shorthorn
and 8 years old. When put on feed about
fifteen months ago he weighed 2, 300. Since
that time the steer has been for the greater
part of the time on a farm near Ralston
townsite. He has been exhibited at state
fairs for two seasons. In the season of
1908 the steer appeared at Lincoln, Topeka,
st. Joseph, Oklahoma City and Kansas
City. An admission was charged and the
owner claimed to have cleared 81. 900 during
the season.
Mr.. Perley was present at the slaughter
and spent some time telling of the rails
ing of the steer. "He ate about a busheI
and a half Of grain daily and a large
quantity of alfalfa meal. which 1 think
was a great aid to his growth and cohdi-

The slaughter Of Jack" o. w. Perley's
mammoth steer, yesterday afternoon was
an occasion Of great interest on Armour
& Co.'s beef killing beds to butchers espe-
eiany.
1t was without doubt the largest steer
ever killed in South Omaha. He was led
slowly up the chutes about 3 O'Clock and
the news spread rapidly through the plant.
All the office force and a great crowd of
employees gathered IN expectation. Many
walked down the chute to where the party
was bringing up the ribbon decorated moun-
tain of bovinity. He met all possible expec-
tations of size. His measure was fifteen
feet six inches from nose to tail, nine feet
three inches from ridge of head to root OF
tail. eleven feet around the body, six feet
two inches tall and two feet ten inches
around the brisket. His weight alive was
200 pounds. He vas estimated to dress
about 1900 pounds. or about 70 per cent.
As soon as the last beef OF the regular
kill had swung to the cooling rooms Charles
Rapp, the head butcher. shot the steei
with a rifle. The task of butchering 81
great a steer fell to Rapp, Henry Lewis
and Phil Watson, 1t took over an hour t
remove the hide. with which the head, fec
and tail were removed for mounting. Som,

won't let it do it's work. You take away
the materials which are SO necessary for
