IOWA B1NKS ALL RIGHT.


The consolidated statement of all the
national banks in iowa outside of Des
Moines, 163 in number, made by the
comptroller of the currency yesterday,
gives most favorable showing. The
loans and discounts are $50, 1877, 1888; in
dividual deposits, $25,913,397; capital
stock, $l3,915,OOO; cash on hand, $685.
259, of which over two million are in
gold coin and certificates. The average
reserve held is 1913 per cent, which is a
better showing than the national banks
of Ohio and Pennsylvania make. The
Des Moines banks have little higher
percentage of reserve than the average
in the rest of the state.

KOBI.-Died, of blood poisoning, at the
family residence, ,701 South A street, Thurs
day, Aug. 3, 1893, at a quarter past IL
o'clock NJ, Mrs. MARY A, wife of T. Kobi.
Funeral from Baptist church Saturday
afternoon at 2 O'Clock, with interment in
Forest cemetery.
This sad event has brought cruel be
reavement to happy home in the removal
of loved wife and daughter, and the SYM
pathy of wide circle of friends will be
theirs in their dark hour of grief. The de-
ceased was the daughter of Mrs. Haney,
who with one brother, ]. II. Haney, of
Hastings, Neb., and one sister, Mrs. CIV.
Watkins, of this city, survives her. Twelve
years ago she was married at her home
here to I. Kobi, and happy union resulted.
Three weeks ago their first child was born
to Mr. and Mrs. Kobi, and to the perils of
motherhood and the grief following the
loss of her babe Mrs. Kobi succumbed.
She was one who made many and warm
friends during her life, and in her death
she leaves home deeply sorrowed. For
the bereaved husband, mother, brother and
sister all hearts are in profound sympathy
in the great affliction that has bowed them
down so heavily.
DICKS.-Died, in Oskaloosa, Iowa, Aug
5, 1898, Mrs. ANNA DICKS, in the S5th year
of her age.

ley and Mrs. George Acomb. Mrs, Dicks
lived with her daughter, Mrs. Acomb, for
several years after the death of her hus-
band, which occurred some twenty-five
years ago. Early In the summer she de-
sired 70 visit Mr. and Mrs. Stanley, of this
city, and did so. But 1t soon became man
ifest that il was her last visit The hand
of death slowly led her on over the narrow
sea that divides the Heavenly land from
ours. But Mrs. Dicks had looked the journey
over for many years. She joined the Bap-
tist church in her youth and was always
true to her early convictions. Mrs. Dicks
had lived for IS years in Iowa. Both her
daughters were with her when she died.
The writer was called to conduct the fun
eral services, and several passages of scrip
tuCe were read and prayers offered. Part
of the choir of the Presbyterian church
were present and rendered appropriate
songs Mother Dicks now sleeps the blessed
sleep of death in Forest cemetery, our
beautiful city of the dead. i. BALLINeRR.
