Receiver Murph,'s Report.

In accordance with the instructions issued
by Judge Thornel, Receiver Murphy filed
yesterday morning his report showing the
original claims and deductions for interest
on time certificates OF deposit in those
cases where preference was allowed by the
court. They are as follows, the first figures
being the original amount OF the claim, and
the second the interest to be deducted:
L. c. Prouty, Garner township, s5G75O
IS; S; b. SNYDER; guardian Harry and j. A.
J. II, sigafoos, for Frank and Ray siga-
fOos Sli246; 1886,

+, 4. FILLING, guardian, So II. $Il5 26.
William Larson, $500; Si2,
John Mithen, guardian, $500; $l32.
The total amount OF the claims allowed
preference up to date by the court is s2S,-
245,9i, and by Receiver Murphy's computa-
tion the interest to be deducted from these
claims will amount to only about 81 200.
The sentiment OF the banks creditors now
is to wind up the affairs Of the institution
as quickly as possible and II is not likely
that the receivers will be impeded by any
more litigation Of serious nature. The
next step 20 be taken by the receivers is
to dispose OF the real estate holdings of
the bank, and 1t is understood that several
offers are now under consideration for sew
eral pieces OF the property. The prices Of
| fered, II is stated by the receivers, exceed
| the price at which the property was listed
in the receivers report and in that made
| by the appraisers appointed by the court.

DES MONIES. Feb. 2.--(Special) Tho
friends Of Governor Shaw are giving 1t out
that he is not a candidate for governor
will not be- and the friends of A. b. Cum
minis are almost convinced that he will not
consent to be a candidate for the Office this
year: so they are all looking about for a
candidate who will not arouse the an
tagonism OF either of the factions which
have been conspicuous in Iowa politics in
recent years. They have begun to consider
the merits Of Major +. H. Conger, United
States minister to China, who is a resident
of this city and a stanch republican. He
has been communicated with in reference
to the matter, and II he does not at once
put his veto on any such movement his
name is sure to come prominently before
the state as candidate in few weeks
Major Conger was unfortunate some years
ago and lost large amount of money in a
Des Moines bank and in bad investments
made through friends, and he has desired to
remain In a post where he could recoup his
fortune. but IL Is known that he did not
desire to go to China and is looking for
ward TO the time when he can retire with
honor, and he may be induced to run for
governor In case neither OF the three
named will stand as the republican candi-
date for governor, the field is wide open

herein, pay out of the funds in their hands
as such receivers a dividend of % per cent
of the face amount of all claims filed herein
and allowed by the court excepting those
claims which the court has heretofore de-
clared entitled to preference, and on such
amount found by the court I'm it's order al
lowing preference shall be paid.
II is further ordered that a receipt of
the dividend herein provided by those
claimants who have heretofore filed petit
tions asking that their claims be preferred
ana the prayer of which petitions has been
denied by the court shall not operate as "A
waiver of their right to appeal from such
order of the court.
1t is further ordered that receipt of pay
ment or declaration of the dividend to
those creditors whose claims have been or
dcred by this court to be entitled to a pref
erence shall not bar the right OF the re-
ceivers or any creditors having the right to
appeal To take the appeal from such order
or orders allowing such preferences and
no payment other than a dividend of %
per cent, as herein declared, shall be made
on such preferred claims until after the eX-
pration of the time wherein which an APP
peal may be taken from the orders of the
court establishing such claim or claims
The question of interest on time certih-
Gates and general deposits Is reserved TO
future order of the court
1t will be seen by this order that the
reason for only allowing a dividend OF 25
per cent on those claims which have been
preferred is due to the fact that the period
in which an appeal may be taken by any
creditor of the bank does not expire for
six months, The object in thus paying a
level dividend to all creditors is to give
an opportunity for appeal and the filing OF
objections and to postpone the final ad-
juStment of all preferred claims until such
time as the court may order the payment OF
a second dividend.
