De MOincs. Iowa. March 23.--Thc
past week has witnessed Il great re-
duction in the outstanding loans Of
the Des Moincs banks, ana money
has become so plentiful as to give
rise to a serious question-what to
do with the surplus money? Money
has not been SO plentiful in years.
One OF the smaller Institutions of
the city had $4,000 OF loans paid
off last week out Of a total Of 5000
600 of loans outstanding. Loans on
easy terms are being made at & per
cent, and much is being loaned at 5
per cent. 1t Is estimated that in
the next month large per cent OF
the loans now outstanding will be
cleared up entirely and the old loans
will be readjustod at lower rate.

4 Mysterious Beast.

Admission. Ala, March 23.-For
two weeks a peculiar and feroclous
animal has been frightening the
people Of this city and section. At
first the people were inclined to be-
licyc it a Wildcat from the ncighbor-

been dispelled by those who have
seen it.
One night two weeks ago the
creature went through the northern
portion OF the town, attacking the
dogs wherever it found them. 1t
killed several dogs and ate one nearly
up. Since then it has made frequent
raids, on one occasion carrying off a
child a hundred yards or more ard
dropped it to pursue a dog. It has
been seen by many, and dozen men
have tried to shoot it. Last night
men were looking for it with shot.

The animal is believed to have cs-

Those who have seen it say it is

but has also bitten COWS. and at one

America Has InSultcu Spain.

bunc prints the following interview
with Senior Suarcz Of the Spanish
consulate Of this city: "We do not
believe that there will be actual war
between Spain and the United States,
but if such a thing should happen it
would be because the United States
has insultcd Spain. You have in
this country given home to those
men who are traitors to Spain and
have waged Il war against her. Even
in this city, the headquarters Of the
Cuban unta are located, and from
this headquarters all the plans Of
the campaign against Spain are pre-
pared and supplies for the rebels are
arranged for and this is done within
two blocks Of oar consulate. The
United States and Spain are friendly
nations and therefore to say the least
it is surprising that the rebels in
Cuba should be allowed to arrange
their plans Of campaign in this
country. say again That do not
believe that actual war will come,
but if it does come, it will be from
the fact that Spain has taken all the
insults she could stand and will take
