Here is something more about the
Copeland swindle from the Cedar
Rapids Observer:
The COPELAND SwINDLE.-We clip
the following from the Dubuque
Times.
l.. l.. Martin, state agent of the
Milwaukee Northwestern Insurance
Company, writes to the Davenport
Gazette that the borrower of the
money, who gave the mortgage on
his property, and not the company,
will be the sufferer by Copeland's
embezzlement. He says that M
agent Of the company can get dol.
lar on q loan accepted until the secu.
rity is properly executed and deposit.
cd with the company, nor even then
unless upon the written orders Of
the MORTGAGE. Further, the prac
tice is to deliver to the MORTGAGE in
form of draft payable on order
which makes it perfectly safe, but in
this case the order was written te
deliver it to Mr.. G. The mortgage
is the only man who trusted The
scamp, and he will have to suffer 70,
it, by ultimately paying loan he
suffered to 60 into other hands.
The Gazette makes u mistake in
saying athe order was written tt
deliver it to Mr.. c." The order was
made to deliver drafts payable to the
order of the mortgagor, Mr.. Angle
Now, what will the Company dc
about Copeland's committing forgery
by altering the order? 1t seems te
us that the Company stands in the
position OF accepting forged order
which will not bind the party who
originally gave the order. Perhaps
some legal luminary will give vi
light on the subject.

We noticed, in our visit to the
State Convention, that Des Moines
is improving, this season, far beyond
anything that she has ever did before.
We do not make this statement from
actual count, but feel certain that we
saw not less than thirty brick bust
ness houses in process of erection
That new Capitol business has given
Des Moines new life, and so in
spired the men of money that they
are sinking lots of their loose change
in three story piles of brick and
mortar. The character of the build.
ings being put up, is, in the main,
excellent. Des Moines is to be one
of the most beautiful cities in the
West. Especially is it noted for its
picturesque and commanding sites
for residences, which, the way the
citizens are already commencing To
improve them, will be adorned with
elegant mansions, hardly surpassed
anywhere.
