that it was not question of money
but OF actual time consumed i'm thc

as was generally thought.

BONDS ARRANGED FOR SALE.
City'S Bonds Issued and Will he Sold
at an Early Date.

The city council have had several
meetings in the past week or ten
days at which the matter Of the citys
bonds for $4,000 has been the chief
topic of discussion. The arrange
ments for the sale of these bonds
business will be closed in short
while. Meantime the work will GO
on.
1t is understood that the first
work will be that of paving the street
leading to the depot and the sidewalk
on the same street. The Southern
Paving and Construction Company
will complete the street paving and
it is understood that Mr.. r. p. Mcneil

Committees from the chamber of

ing the plan of operation on the va

other half; organization is therefore
necessary and the chamber Of com

is desirable that a large part of the
work be completed before the Meth

doors for business this morning at 8

and the new institution was ready for
business. The bank was organized a
few months ago by F. P. Metzger and
the capital stock is owned by local
capitalists most of whom live in the
portion of the city adjacent to the in
stitution.
The opening was delayed for several
weeks on account of the nonarrival OF
fixtures from the east though the big
burglar proof safe has been in place
FOR month or more. The furniture
was nearly all made in Topeka at To-
cal factories and gives the bank d
modern and up to date appearance.
The bank is located in the heart of
the wholesale district of the city and
all indications point to a successful
career. The officers and directors are
all well known Topeka business men,
many of them having acquired a COM
potency from their 1abors in Topeka.
A cashier has not been selected though
Clarence L. Kline will act in the ca,
pacity of an assistant cashier until the
directors decide upon a man for the
place.
A meeting Of the stockholders will
be held late this afternoon followed
by a meeting of the board of directors
elected at the stockholders meeting.
