sUspENDs BUSINESS.
Iowa Loau and investment Company
at Cedar Falls Seeking to Wind
Up Its Affairs.

The Iowa Loan, Trust & Investment
company, at Cedar Falls, has suspended,
and the stockholders are devising a
method by which to wind up its affairs.
The concern was incorporated in 1891
for $4,000. and its stock was all paid
up. The president, r. A. Davidson, has
conducted the affairs OF the company
for the last five years from an office in
Chicago.
Up to and including October of last
year the stockholders had received four
per cent. semiannual dividends on their
investment. The stockholders were all
business men of Cedar Falls and Water
loo. They We're drawn into the concern
by the promise of safe investments and
big interest on their money, and were
happy in the fulfillment of the promises
until the crash came with the appear
ance of Mr.. Dawson here and his declar-
alton that the company was insolvent
and that its affairs must be closed up
at once. Mr.. Dawson claims the COM
PAM can pay its stockholders so per
cent. on their investments.

MAKES AN APOLOGY.
Capt. coghlan Says He Intended No
Insult to Germany.
WRITES LETTER TO SECRETARY LONG
Says the Remarks Were Not Intended
for Publication, and That the
Newspapers Distorted His
Language.

Washington, April 26.-At the cab
met meeting Tuesday, the recent ut
terances of Capt. Coghlan, of the
cruiser Raleigh, were informally dis
cussed. Secretary Long said he had
received letter on the subject from
Capt. Coghlan. The captain disclaimed
any intention of insulting the German
emperor or Admiral Won Diedrichs, and
his remarks on the occasion of the
Union League club banquet were made
in the most informal manner in the
company of friends, without any
thought that he would be reported in
the public press. AS they did appear,
he said, they were exaggerated and dis
torted, and he was made to say things
which he did not utter. He claims that
under the circumstances his remarks
should be regarded as privileged. After
the cabinet meeting adjourned, Secre-
tary Long and Secretary Hay remained
a short time with the president to fur
Their discuss the matter. 1t is under
stood that the captain will soon retire
from the service through the regular
channel, and it is thought that in view
of this fact, and, further, that he rem.

Tie suffering and agony endured by
the unfortunate person who is depriv-
ed of his sleep, can only be appreciated
by those to whom a merciless fate
has brought the same experience. 10
lie in bed, minute after minute, hour
after hour, night after night, unable
to close an eye! To roll and toss and
thresh the bed clothes-to walk the
floor, back and forth, to and fro,
wishing, longing, praying for sleep to
come and close the blood shot eyes,
and rest the weary brain! To look
ahead and see looming up in the near
future the horrible scepter of threat
ening iusanity-that awful state IN
which person is lost to himself and
20 his friends forever-these are but a
part of the agonies endured by the
sleepless one. For all of which there
is no better, safer or surer remedy
known to man than DIR. Miles Restor-
ative Nervine. Nothing in the past
has ever equaled it in power of build
ing up weakened nerve tissues and
giving strength to the tired body. II

Vet We Spend Pity on Europe.

Prior to 1860 the expenditures of
the Federal Government, per capita,
ranged from 81 .35 to 1920. They now
range from $5 to So. In addition to
this the State expenditures average
1910 per capita; total of between
$14 and $l5 per capita. AS compared
with these expenditures the States
mans Year Book gives the per capita
of expense of Austria at $1.51; Russia,
$275; the German Empire, including
State expense, $500; the British EN-

So. 81; Japan, $1.90; Portugal, $1.0s;
and Mexico, 1886. Prior to 1860 the
people Of the United States were freer

people of almost any other civilized
country. To-day they pay heavier
taxes than the people of any civilized

Official Paper of County.
OUR CANDIDATE in 1900

The st. Paul Dispatch, an admins
tration paper bitterly censures the
18th Minnesota regiment in the Phil
lipines for it's message to Gov. Lind:
I'VE want to come home" The edi-
tor who writes criticising them for
entertaining this wish is already at
home, and feels qualified to criticise
the men who have served out the time
Of their enlistment, and been where
the bullets whistled loudest. Itmakes
the firing line or in a comparatively
well cushioned editorial chair in the
sanctum ten thousand miles distant
from the scene of war and carnage.
This desire to get home is almost uni
versal among the army, not because
OF lack Of bravery and courage in
our soldiers, but because the war has
been perverted from its high purpose
of humanity and patriotism to one of
slavery and subjugation of people
who owe us no allegiance. Edgar
Thomson, a Cresco soldier in the Phil
ipines, in letter written to his moth
er, Mrs. Jas. Thomson of Cresco,
published in the Times of the 9th of
April, from which we copy as follows:
"A few days ago vote was taken
in the regiment to determine how
many wished to remain for an extra
six months and the result showed
that none cared to stay any longer
than they have to. So the Colonel
did not volunteer the service of the
regiment but informed us that it is
his opinion that we will be home and
out of the service by the first of July,
this seems like long time yet but it
1s not so bad when compared to a
year and two months.
Our enlistment read "for two years,
unlesss sooner discharged, to serve in
the Spanish American war" So you
may see we did not enlist to fight
these insurgents AND AS FEW OF THE
MEN ARE IN FAVOR OF HOLDING THE
ISLANDS, we do not feel it our duty to
enlist for an additional six months
Now that the treaty has been ratified
by Spain and the United States we
are entitled to our discharge within
sixty days, at least that is the way we
understood it when we enlisted, and
our Captain says that is the way he
understood it; but we will not COM
plain If they get US home before the
Fourth. | do not care to spend an.
other fourth of July in the service OF
Uncle Sam If can avoid it.

Trusts Repudiated.

The Pioneer Press has become an
agitator against all trusts and COM
bines. Whatever it's motive it tells
much truth in the following para
graph clipped from its editorial
columns:
"a large proportion of the trusts
recently formed belong to the bad
list. They are usually capitalized for
from twice to five times the value OF
their assets and necessary working
capital, and they have raised prices
to pay dividends on this vast amount
OF fictitious capital in order to give
their stock speculative value in the
market. Take for example, the tin
plate trust, which capitalized fo- :.
least four times what all r. ,i i aS
are worth. 1t has grc 10 Piants
