SUES COMMISSION FIRM.
Oklahoma Man Who Was Put in Jail
Asks $4,000.

]. A Murphree of Rush Springs
Okla, has brought suit for $2,056
damages against Anderson & Arm
strong, wholesale fruit and vegetable
merchants of this city, on the charge
that they caused his arrest here the
first of this month for selling water
melons without a peddler's license.
Murphee alleges that he was acquitted
by jury of his peers of the charge,
but that his carload of watermelons
he brought up here to sell were spoil
ed while he was trying to get out from
under the paw of the law.
He had $4,000 pounds of melons
and he wants pay for them, also pay
for staying in jail, and for railroad
fare and hotel bill, which expenses he
incurred in a trip back to Topeka, also
paw for mental anguish and damaged
character, and lastly he wants $1,000
exemplary damages. As Anderson &
Armstrong swore to the warrant by
which he was arrested, Murphee wants
these gentlemen to pay the fiddler.

Notified.

Now.
USH NEW BUILDING.

Topeka will have a postal savings
bank in full operation September 20.
An Associated Press dispatch received
from Washington, D. c., today stated
that Postmaster General Hitchcock
had named four cities of the first
class where postal savings banks were
to be established by the date men
toned, and the list included Topeka.
The other cities mentioned were oak
land, Cal: Salem, Ore, and Tacoma,
Wash.
81 don't know anything about it
no more than you do" said Postmas-
ter A. K. Rodgers, when asked con-
cerning the dispatch, but [ suppose
the order was issued ana III be noti-
fled in two or three days by letter.
What the postmaster general says
goes.
Il wrote him last fall saying that
it would be difficult to operate saw
ings bank until our accommodations
were more adequate, but as it is well
have to go ahead and do the best we
can.
1.-THE plans for the addition to the
building are being drawn up in Wash
ington, but it may be good while be-
fore work actually starts.
"It takes some time for a depart
ment of this nature to grow into one
that transacts a great volume of busi-
ness, and for the present it will not be
necessary to increase the force of en-
ployees in the building"
The establishment of a savings bank
means that the people will have a
place for their earnings knowing that
while the interest they receive on their
money is less than could be obtained
through investment in other ways, that
there is positively no danger of losing
their hard earned cash.
The order will probably mean that
the plans for the new $4,000 addi-
tion will be pushed to completion as
soon as possible and work started by
the contractor who is the lucky bid
der.
