AS will be seen elsewhere, Mr.. r.. S.
Ftndlay is advertising the closing act OF
his receivership of the Osceola Bank
giving a two per cent dividend. The
Osceola Bank failure has thus required
a period of over eleven years to get its
affairs Strengthened out. 1t failed No.

terest on the sum lost for time to date,
SO the principal is practically all lost.
The settlement involved many court
cases, which were stubbornly fought by
Mr.. Findlay. In the first place, c. w.
Cowles, father of George III. Cowles,
chief manager of the bank, was sued
for two $4,000 notes and the suit gained.
His property in Clarke county was sold
to pay The judgment. The late Seth
Richards then sued Receiver Findlay
for the money with which Cowles had
paid the county deposit claim in full
and compelled repayment of large
part of it. Other cases of complicated
nature came up. and nearly all were
taken to the supreme court, the last
one being decided last year. In the
banks assets were found two $4,000
notes against Ed Mason, clerk of federal
court. and brother, of Des Moines. A
suit proved it was merely accommoda.
ton paper, and was valueless. The Des
Moines cotton mill had notes in, bank
of $4,000, which proved worthless.
The Lucas Land and Live Stock Co.'S.
lands and stock were capitalized at
$4,000 and carried as assets, but Mr..
sFindlay could only get 5000 in cash
out Of it. These and other like ac-
counts reduced the available assets.
Mr.. Findlay has sta,d by his task nobly,
and done all that was possible for the
creditors. Osceola Sentinel.

This Mr. Foster refused to do. He pro-

The sheriff is in an ugly position.
He will lose what influence he pos

inevitable for reasons which are geo

Clayton, Aug. 29.-When the Third
Representative district was divided
into two election districts it was
thought each district would have near
ly the same amount of voters, or as
nearly so as possible. 1t now trans
pires that the western end of KentOn
hundred. will show a total strength of
at least 550 while the Clayton side will
not exceed $50 The Addicks Repub-
licans are having hot times i'm this dis
trict. Chaos seems to be the order Of
things, five ouN of every ten of the
members wanting to be leaders. when
in point of fact, very few Of them pos
sess the necessary qualification to act
in such a capacity. The brainy Re
publicans of Kenton hundred, and there
are a number of them, are not identi-
fed with the Addicksites. There il
at present a big quarrel on hand among
the Union faction, which bids fair to
grow into a bitter fight. The Rev
David Clark, of Kenton, local preach
er of some prominence, is an ardent
worker for Addicks and for several
years has wanted to go to the legisla-
ture. This year he is not particular
whether he is nominated for the lower
branch Of the assembly. as representa-
tive for the Third district or whether
it be for state senator from the Second
Senatorial district, of which Kenton
hundred is a part. Mr.. Clark is leav-
ing no stone unturned in his canvas
for the coveted nomination but he finds
he is up against the hardest game of
his life, for he is not even popular
with his own faction. The Moore fam
ily is one Of influence and position,
with sufficient following to defeat the
preacher politician at the primaries.
They are bitterly opposed to the Rev.
Mr.. Clark and at present extremely ac-
tive in working against him, meeting
with much success.
Mr. Clark has, in the past, been mere
successful in influencing the colored
voters than he has with his white
brethren. Now he finds his strength
waning with this element, due to the
efforts of Jacob Bryan, colored, who
is quite o power among the colored
men OF this section, both in Kenton
and Duck Creek hundreds. Bryan is
well fixed i'm this worlds goods con-
seouently he has sufficient time to de-
vote to working the hundred against
! Clark. Addicksites from Smyrna as
well as Dover have endeavored to take
hand in the quarrel in the interest Oi
the Kenton preacher but were prompt
ly told to keep in their own districts
The Third Representative district cou'(
take care of itself The battle the Rev
Clark is fighting has extended from
the county into Clayton, where HI
finds. with but two exceptions every
business man of the Addicks faith ar
u rayed against him. Some peculia
stories about the Rev. Clark's politica
work are being told by his opponent
