WANTS AMERICAN LOCOMOTIVES
1urmah Railway Company Orders
| Twenty for Early Delivery.

Twenty for Early Delivery.
London, lee. 19.-Presicing Wednes-
day afternoon at meeting Of the Bur-
nah Railway Company, Sir Auckland
Colvin, the chairman. referred to the
purchase Of twenty American lecomo-
tives by the company. He said the
board had been guided by the fact that
the Americans were able to promise de-
livery within two or three months OF the
date of the order, while the English
manufacturers could not do better than
twelve to seventeen months. The price
Of the American locomotives was 90 per
cent lower than that of the English en-
gines. It was premature to express
decided opinion on the respective merits
OF English and American engines. The
consulting engineers had recommended
the American engines as suitable, and
thus far the locomotive superintendent
said they were, generally speaking, up
to the required standard.

HENRY HospERs, ESTATE.
Is Not in as Good Condition -
Supposed.

| Is Not in as Good Condition ~
Supposed. i
Orange City, Dec. ia good deal OF
comment is heard here as to the condt-
ton of the estate Of Hon. Henry Hos-
pers, who died recently. Mr.. Hospers
was owner of the Bank Of Orange City
and the Bank Of Maurice, both private
institutions. Their solidity had never
been questioned, and it was always un-
derstood that Mr. Hospers, whose entire
wealth constituted their backing. was a
rich man, worth anywhere from $780, ,0O0
to $275 200, tho he advertised individual
responsibility of only $4,000. For two
years prior to his death Mr.. Hospers had
|'not been able to give much personal att
tention to the business.
After the death of Mr.. Hospers his
widow. j. NJ. Odell and A. J. Kyper,
cashier and assistant cashier OF the.
bank here, We're made executors. They
continued the business Of the banks for
4 time, and then It was announced that
the institutions would close, pending a
settlement OF the estate. This announce
rent came as great surprise. Such q
thing was not dreamed of. This was
about two weeks ago. Dep0sltorS were
not paid, and the executors have been
preparing an inventory OF the estate,
which is not yet filed.
The Farmers Loan and Trust Com.
pany, of Sioux City, leased the building
occupied by the Hospers bank here. and
opened bank, but it was entirely inde-
pendent of the old Hospers institution,
assuming none of the old affairs.
Whether the Hospers bank will reopen
is NOT known. 1t is rurnOTed the estate
Is not in as good condition as expected
and even that depositors may not be
paid in full How much the deposits
amounted to has not been made public,
1, is anticipated there will not be much
ii any, loss to depositors.
a movement is afoot to establish
new bank here, either state or national,
but it has not taken definite form yet.

M.k,nLEy's DOCTOR BILL.
Or. Mann Says Congress Should Hand
son1ely Reward Them,

Buffalo, N. Y, Dec. 1S.-In view of
the wide discussion Incidental 20 the
question of who should pay the physi-
clans who attended President Mckin-
ley, DR.. Matthew d. Mann consented to
make statement, setting forth the at
titude of himself and his associates.
DR.. Mann, in reply to questions by a
reporter said:
I'VE feel that when we operated on
the president of the United States we
operated for the American people. with
view to saving their president for
them; we were not called by the family
of the president, but by the authorities,
the cabinet and others, to take charge
of the president, and we feel therefore,
that we have right to look to congress
and the nation for our remuneration
We took a tremendous responsibility,
because we took in our hands the life of
the most prominent man In the world;
and we feel that in taking such a re-
sponsibllity we ran an immense risk.
Had the autopsy showed that we made
any serious mistake we would have re-
ceived unlimited ondemnation-We
might even have been ruined profess
sionally. From all these facts, we feel
that we should not be called upon to
render bills to the family. Any bill
which we might render to the late pres
idents estate would be larger than Mrs.
Mckinley ought to be called upon to
pay.
IF we should render such bill as she
could properly pay, we feel tha. we
would be very imperfectly remuner-
ated We feel, therefore, that congress
should take up the matter and make
an appropriation such as 1t may see fit
and save US from becoming the objects
Of criticism by sending in . bill. For,

A good deal of guess work has been
going on in regard to what is being said
and done at the political conferences in
Des Moines this week, and yet it
stands to reason that much of the lob
by gossip has some foundation in fact.
The matter of selecting the chairman OF
committees of the house, which is IN
the hands of Mr.. Eaton has doubtless
taken up some of his time while here,
but In fact he has been here on business
connected with the big company OF
which he is the general attorney. AS
for the exact makeup of these COM
mittees nobody seems to know any
thing except in a general way and they
are not likely to know very soon.
