ultimately.
"a rather interesting development
was brought about thru the taking of
evidence in the quo warranto proceed
ings against the Diamond Investment
Company. 1t was more strongly brought
cut in the arguments bq Mr.. Dona-
hauer for the state, and Judge MCGEE
stated that 1t was the crucial point in
the case.
1T appears that under the contracts
issued by the company there is % cents
cut of every s1.25 paid into the concern
that goes to the expense account for
maintaining the company. After a
number is reached borne by contract
the holder is entitled to receive a 5000
diamond, or $160 in cash. just as soon
as there is money enough paid in above
the obligations, the next certificate in
order is entitled to be settled with. In
most cases the holders prefer cash.
Nov, the contract holders learn thru
this trial that when a holder takes the
S160 cash instead of the 5000 diamond,
the promoters of the company pocket
the extra $40. In that manner, $1S5,000
has been diverted to the company from
the redemption fund. This has been
done by a cleverly worded contract.
The contract provides that the com
pany is entitled to appropriate every
time a diamond is to be issued on a
contract. 5000 for furnishing such dia-
mond. Thus when contract is reached
for payment, the promoters have
drawn 5000, settled for $3.50. and hold
the $40.
THE matter was fully argued yester-
day and will be decided by the court,
who has already asked very pontedly
for light as to the authority the COM
pany had to take money that was only
theirs In trust, with no greater color for
So doing than the contract clause"

Annual Settlement Day Breaks
All Records for Deposits in
Local Banks.
Farms Changing Hands and Set.
Elements With Tenants
Causes Rush.
Over 100000 Deposited in One
Day in the Four Banks OF
This City.

Saturday was a record breaker In the
amount of business transacted by 'iie
financial institutions of Marshalltown.
The amount of money received for de-
rosit in the four banks of this city was
almost s35O,OOO, exceeding the amount
ever before deposited on March /. The
Withdrawals were also large, but did
not nearly equal the deposits. 1t was
the bankers busy day, and they have
not got out from under the rush as yet.
March j Is always busy day ior the
bankers. as then the farmers are max
ing their settlements and the final
transfers and payments on farms sold
during the fall and winter. Inc traues
are usually closed on that day, and ten
ants are making their payments on the
rented farms. Some of the nnanclal
transactions of Saturday were large. IN
che instance $4,000 in cold coin
changed hands and was deposited in
one Of the banks. In another $24,OOo
was involved, but this was represented
by drafts.
The exact amount deposited In the
four banks of this city on Saturday
was $346,630. OF this amount about 40
per cent remained in the banks. the
balance being paid out in the usual
course of business. The effect of the
financial transactions extended to the
savings bank, which did an unprece-
denied business for savings institu-
ton.
The business Of Saturday shows that
while considerable Marshall county
capital Is being invested in northern
lands and sandhills. there are plenty of
people with capital and experienced
farmers who have faith in Marshall
county soil as an investment and as
the means of affording livelihood.

and gave me one-third interest in the
business. We were betrothed at that
time, but the day for the wedding was
never set. Anstead commenced to dis
sipate, and the burden of the business
fell on me. This condition lasted for
one year and a half. when we dissolved

broken. I went to Bloomington, ILL.,,

he went to Decatur and started a BUSH

him since our engagement was broken.

BY using Peosta Soap the woolens
can be washed in tepid water and If

are obtained. Flannels should not be

Rubbing between the hands, if you use

was one of the most intelligent, refined

which she partook at times too freely.

was daily visitor at the saloon of
John Tally, at Seventh avenue and

buy beer at the bar when she had
money enough. When she was in firan-
