MIDLAND CLOSES TO GUESTS.
Affairs of This Hostelry Were Prac-
tically Wound Up Last Night.
The Midland hotel register was officially closed last night at 11 o'clock, but the doors will not be closed until Wednesday and guests now in the house will be allowed to remain until then but no arrivals will be registered. The hotel will be closed to be remodeled into an office building.
T. E. Randolph, chief clerk, will be transferred by the Deans to the Hotel Baltimore, and T. B. Bishop, room clerk, goes to the Densmore as chief clerk. Other employes of the Midland will be taken to the Baltimore hotel and some will be sent to the Connor House at Joplin, a property of the Baltimore Hotel Company.
