CAUGHT A METEOR
PRoJECTILE FELL AT MORGAN
AND WAS BROUGHT HERE.
Exhibited On Main Street During the
Afternoon and Taken to the State
Museum-Resemble Glass.

The museum at the state university
was enriched yesterday by one of the
latest additions to this earth, in the
s.eapa of g meteor, which fell last Fri
day night, near Morgan
Recently the earth has been passing
through a lot of flying matter, and no
doubt several pieces have lighted in this
vicinity Of late, for the night has wit
messed many a bright flight of frag-
n.ents oe the material which is con-
stantly progressing through space.
This meteor. which was brought z
the city yesterday was seen to fall by
a Mr.. Williams, one of the olG-timers
at Morgan. 1t came from the forth
west. and struck about 500 yards from
where he was sitting on his front porch
He marked the place. and next morn
ing, with some friends, went down. into
the fed and found the hole caused by
the projectile.
1t had penetrated to a considerable
distance. AID when found was still
quite hot, but was at last secured.
In composition it resembles melted
glass. It is as large as an ordinary
sized water cooler, and quite regular in
shape. Mr. Williams broke off a small
piece for his cabinet, and brought the
rest 20 the city.
The mineral matter of which this
aerolite was composed was doubtless
largely made up of the basic principles
which go to make glass, and the intense
heat caused by friction with The atmos-
phere caGsed a change. The curiosity
was much admired yesterday, being on
exhibition before taken to the museum
at several points on Main street during
the afternoon.

The supp enc court yesterday decided
the case OF Theodore C. Steinke. re-
ceiver of the Cass county Qa) bank
appellant. VS.. C. F. Loofbourow. af-
frming TIE judgment of the district
court
1t appeared that the Cass county
bank was Incorporated under the laws
of Iowa, where afterwards it did a
banking business. The bank failed on
Dec. q. 1898, and the plaintiff was ap-
pointed receiver of the assets.
The defendant, Judge Loofbourow.
owned SIX shares of the stock of the
bank. OF the par value of $4,000 The
Indebtedness OF the bank at the time
of its failure largely exceeded its as
sets. and the receiver brought this suit
upon the individual liability of the Ge-
PENDANT over and above the amount OF
the stock held by him. The plaintiff
relied or an Iowa statute which pro-
vides that stockholders of a corpora
ton are individually liable to the cred
itors over and above the amount OF
stock by them held, TO an amount equal
TO their stock.
Steinke was appointed receiver at the
suit of one of the Stockholders, and the
supreme court held that the receiver
represented the bank. and had no au-
thority TO sue on behalf of the cred
itors to whom the stockholders, by the
wording OF the act, are made liable.
The opinion closes with the words:
when it becomes necessary to resort
TO the Individual liability of the stock
holders above the amount Of their
stock, under a statute similar to the
one quoted, the decided weight of au-
thority is TO the effect that the slIit
should be brought by the creditors,
though there is a substantial conflict
which cannot be reconciled, but we
think the more reasonable and beIter
rule is as we have stated it. This dis
poses of this appeal, ard we do not
deem il necessary to deoNat other ques-
tons raised and discussed by coua-
Sc,
THE Judgment is affirmed, with costs
TO respondent"
The opinion was written by Chief
Justice Zane, and coEcuTed in by
Justice Miner

Klondike Almost forgotten.

This is the busy season in the Klon-
dixie goldfelds. Fortunes are being dug
up every week, but nothing is said in
thG newspapers. There is war on
hand, and every other subject is for
gotten. In like manner men and wo-
men drop out of sight when they lose
their health. The general cause of
sickness is in the stomach. From there
it branches out. To remove the cause
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is the best
remedy. The Weaknesses of women
are cured by it. 1t gives strength to
both sexes. 1t invigorates and imparts
vitality. 1t steadies the nerves and
brings refreshing sleep. For those
whose health is run down" nothing
equals it. Take Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters if you want to regain it.
