FOR DEFUNCT BANKS. Receivers Recommended For El Reno and Wellington Institutions. Washington, May 18.-The comptroller of the currency is being assured that ex-Secretary of Territory Martin, of Oklahoma, should be made receiver of the First National bank, of El Reno. It has been the policy of the office, however, not to make an official of a defunct bank its receiver. The comptroller is also being advised that George Pitts, of Wellington, should be made receiver of the Sumner County National. Mr. Pitts has figured largely with the administration in this sort of thing, but it is the impression at the department that Mr. Pitts will not get the appointment.

Closed Its Doors, The whole community was shocked last Thursday to learn that the Sumner National bank had closed its doors, on which could be seen the significant piecè of paper which read, "Bank closed-Comptroller notified." This bank was always thought to be one of the stablest institutions in the country, and the public was therefore greatly surprised. At 10 o'clock that morning the officials were forced to close, on account of the heavy withdrawal of deposits. The first intimation A. Branaman, the cashier, had that anything was wrong, was Thursday afternoon when several patrons came in and withdrew their deposits. There was no rush, but a steady drain that began to tell on the amount of cash in hand. The officials were in hopes that by opening hour next morning affairs would be quieted, as there was no cause for alarm, the bank being in good condition and, considering the hard times, doing remarkably well. Next morning, however, when some of the bank's best friends came one after another and withdrew their deposits, there was nothing left to do but to close. This was done and the comptroller notified. y 0 The affairs of the bank are in excellent condition and depositors will e be paid in full. The assets in loans y and discounts alone are about $92,000, 0 beside real estate and other property X and resources owned by the bank, while the entire liabilities are only about $63,000. The county has somewhere near $19,000 on deposit and S the school board about $5,300, which is all included in the above. The n bank has sufficient resources, with e n proper management, to pay all depositors dollar for dollar, and the y officials state that this will be done. d Ren French is one of the heaviest e individual depositors. The institution has two branches: one at Argonia, the other at Milan, r Both were still running at latest ady vices. The Milan bank has more than enough money on hand to pay its depositors and cannot be hurt by the failure. The branch at Argonia is also thought to be in good shape, 0 but, having received no statement n from there lately. the bank here does d not know its exact condition. e This failure is notonly a misfortune to the depositors, whose money is for d the present tied up, but is a detrie ment to the prosperity of the entire city. The whole cause seems to have 0 been the alarm of depositors for E reasons not defnitely known. rt Whether or not the bank will ren sume operations is not yet determinat able. It is to be hoped that its it condition will be found to be such as 's to warrant its continuance, as the entire business interests of the city will suffer from its closing.

HAGAN MAY BE HONORED. The Wellington Administration Democrat is Slated. Washington, June 11.-Mr. Eckels, comptroller of the currency, took up the matter of appointing a receiver for the Sumner County National bank of Wellington, but concluded not to make the appointment until some time next week. It seems to be a difficult matter to make certain of an administration Democrat. W. W. Hagan of Wellington is being represented as a very finely preserved administration Democrat, and consequently it is insisted that he be appointed, but next week the comptroller expects to have additional information.

Thursday on account of insufficient papers. They agreed, however, to turn over the property to the Arkansas City bank as ordered. Geo A. Puckett, who was for more than a year manager, assistant editor and foreman of the VOICE, writes us that he is sick of Arkansas, and would like to have a job on some good Kansas paper. George is a good all-round man, and we can cheerfully recommend him. tf J. Sam Brown, receiver of the Sumner National and First National banks of Wellington, and a half dozen others, strange as it may seem, is a Republican. He draws a salary from all of them. A good gold standard Republican and a good gold standard Democrat can get mighty close together these days. The Populist and Free Silver parties at the Wellington township primary, nominated for their township candidates, the following persons for the respective offices: Trustee, Geo. W. Bailey; clerk, A. J. Banks; treasurer, J. F. Ruggles: justices, T. B. Nicholson, J. M. Ready; constables, John Treft, S. F. Utz. The jury in the case between the Stock Exchange bank VS. the Frisco railway, involving the title to the right of way and track of one mile of said road at Blackstone, came in at noon Thursday with a verdict favoring the bank in the sum of $4,851.17. The company would certainly have been wise to have paid off the balance on that mortgage, rather than to have been compelled to buy back this part of their railroad Some of our Republican friends are finding fault with O. P. Hubbard of Chikaskia township, for calling Chester I. Long a "yaller dog." We hope Populists will refrain from using such phrases. The feelings of Republicans are somewhat tender just now and there is no use lacerating tbem un. necessarily. Then, too, Herr Most has joined their party and they have suddenly quit calling us anarchists and repudiators, hence there is no cause for retaliation. Stop it, boys! stop it! A pleasant surprise was given Mrs. R. F. Plummer last Wednesday at her residence four miles northwest of the this city. The occasion was the aniversary of her birth. After a bountiful supply of the inner man the company were highly entertained with music.

Those present were Mr. and Mrs. Andy Banks and father, Mr. and Mrs. John Camp, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Camp, Mr. and Mrs. E. B. Dawson, Mr. and Mrs. John Dawson, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Dugan, Mr. nd Mrs. J. K. Moore, Mr. and Mrs. Upson, Miss Fuller. Mr. and Mrs. Van Deln, Mr. and Mrs. Dr. Reid, and children galore. At a late hour the guests departed for home after having spent a pleasant evening. In June last, Wm. J. Swartz and wife of Sioux City, Iowa, were here on a visit to Wm. Wise, who is a brother of Mrs. Swartz. Mr. Swartz met a good many people here and will be remembered as an enthusiastic McKinley man at that time. He was an old soldier, serving throughout the war. The St. Louis gold standard platform knocked him out. Mr. Wise received a letter from him a day or two ago which concludes as follows: "I am pleased to know that you are with us on the silver question. 1 will speak here for the candidates nominted at Chicago, and it is possible that I may stump this congressional district. Leave the money issue out of the question, patriotism alone should impel a good citizen to vote for Bryan and Sewell.

The miners of the Shelburn, Ind., Coal company refuse to accept the scale of prices as submitted by the company, which, the miners say, is 2 cents below the Star City prices. Wm. Yates Atkinson was inaugurated the second time as governor of Georgia Saturday, amid ceremonies the most imposing seen in the state in a generation.

Reckless Management of Our County Affairs. In our issue of last week we stated that the Board of County Commissioners had settled, or agreed to a settlement, of the matter in controversy between it and the Fidelity and Deposit Company, of Baltimore, that, by which terms of settlement, the county funds which were on deposit in the First National bank at date of suspension are to be paid in cash within thirty days, less the interest and 5% discount (being a discount of the face of the claim of about $1,600); and that the county funds which were on deposit in the Sumner National bank at date of suspension are to be fully paid in cash in one year from this date, with interest at 3% per annum. We did not undertake at that time to make any comments on the settlement, or to discuss the subject, except to say that under the circum. stances we thought the settlement would meet the approval of the taxpayers of the county. We have had no reason to change our opinion at this time and now maintain that, because of the circumstances surrounding the claims, if this basis of settlement is complied with in good faith, and carried out to the letter, the taxpayers are to be congratulated at such a fortunate termination of what seemed a desperate condition of their.interests. But we desire it to be distinctly understood that we do not in any respect approve of the management of these claims by the present Board of Commissioners, or the management of the county's financial affairs by all the past Boards of Commissioners whose management is responsible for the existence of conditions surrounding these claims. And at this time, and in this connection we wish to discuss a few phases of the subject, and to review somewhat the history of our county affairs which has resulted in this unpleasant and unfortunate condition with which we have been confronted for the past year. Beginning with the early '80's, when the county was being developed, when school houses and court house were being erected and furnished and bridges were being built, when prices and value of land were at a high figure, a large sum of money was raised each year for the purpose of pushing these public improvements to completion. This money was raised by taxation and cheerfully paid into the treasury to be expended in these various directions for these public purposes. The expenditures each year during this period of development just about balanced the receipts. The time came when about all the public improvements which were thought to be needed were provided for; and a consequent cessation of the expenditures of money in this direction. Less money was necessary for the legitimate expenses of the county, and one would think that less money would be raised by taxation than during this period of public improvement. But not so; approximately the same amount of money has been wrung from the taxpayers each year, notwithstanding that the value of their property has been constantly
