Sioux. City, Oct. 1O.-In answer to a
knock at her front door, Mrs. j. III. Gall
lagher opened it to find a market bas-
ket with baby in it deposited at her
door. Standing in the yard sixty feet
distant was a woman and when Mrs.
Gallagher excitedly inquired If the
baby was hers the woman quickly dis
appeared.
Pinned to the child, Mrs. Gallagher
discovered letter written in a large
scrawling hand. evidently disguised.
The writing was done with lead pen
Gil. The contents were as follows:
Sioux City, October z, 1902.
ITO Mrs. Gallagher. Dear Mrs. CAL
lagher this child is not child of shame
but cant keep 1t myself and / have
made Inquiries and found out you was
a good kind lady and as you would
want anyone to do with your little boy
do you by mine and some day you will
be repaid many times over for all you
trouble and expenses his name is John
and he Is five weeks old keep the child
and god will reward you for all your
trouble.
from a heart broken mother / pray
YOU on my Bonded knees not to turn the
little helpless one out"
Last evening, Mrs.G allagh received
thru the mail another letter written in
the same handwriting. This letter was
very similar to the note and implored
the woman not to treat the little one
inhumanly.
II shall keep the baby, not for any
hope OF reward as this letter intimates,
but for humanityls sake" continued
Mrs. Gallagher, as she gazed fondly at
the little midget who lay with his eyes
closed and blissful smile on his tiny
face.
$50 far as the letter is concerned, I
take no stock in the sentiment express
ed in that. I am of the opinion that
the child is a child Of shame, altho the
fact that 1t is 5 weeks old would indi-
cate that such is not the case. hav-
emit the slightest idea as to who the
woman was that brought the child to
my door. 1t was too dark to see her
closely, altho could tell that she was
tall and well formed. I didn't try to
catch her when she ran. It wouldn't
have done me any good If had. She
appeared to be rather good Splinter"

TIE SANE Old STORY
Failure OF the oto Bank Alleged
TO be Due to Grain
Speculation
THE DEPoslToRs MAY SUFFER
Now Stated That the Failure Was
Worse Than at First Reported and
That Board of Trade Dealing Got
the Bank Into Financial Difficult
ties.
Special to Times-Republican.

| Special to Times Republican.
Sioux City, Oct. lot is being
claimed here that speculation on the
board of trade was the cause of the
failure Of the Otto bank. The failure
was more serious than at first supposed.
1t is now doubted whether the deposit
ors will be paid in full.
/ Nobody in possession Of detailed in
| formation is able to tell the facts, but
people in position to know the inside
said that they expected the failure
would prove pretty disastrous one.
They also attributed speculation on the
| board as one of it's causes.
Report is that money of the bank has
been used for some time past in hand
ling deals on the Chicago board. In
these deals it is said the bank was not
directly interested, tho it furnished
money to customers to finance them.
For time they were successful and
considerable profits accrued.
In connection with these deals, the
Mcneil Grain Company held cOnsid-
cradle amount of money payable to the
bank, when the Mcneil firm got into
its trouble with the Weare Commission
Company. The Weare company held
out some $4,000 of the Mcneil COM
pany's money, claiming 1t on some
ground not yet very well explained to
the public. At any rate 1t was money
which, but for this action of the Chi
cage concern, should have been distrib-
uted by the Mcneil company to GUS
toners.
The money is still in possession Of
the Chicago firm. The litigation is
getting fairly started between the Nc
Neil company, and there is no knowing
when the money will be released.
The Otto banks interest in the fund
is placed as high as $4,000 or $4,000.
After 1t became evident that this money
could not be got at crisis was soon
precipitated in the business, ending in
the application for receiver and dis
! solution of the firm. Mr.. Cutting 8
friends here and ct Otto insist it is UNI
fair to place the entire responsibility
on his shoulders.
A telephone message from Otto said
that G. N. Sweetser of the Farmers
Loan & Trust Company, is there look
ing into the business of the failed bank.
There have been rumors of various diff
f1culties in connection with the securi-
ties and loans which the bank had OUT
standing.
Charles Mcneil, of the Mcneil Grain
Company; said:
1.-THE bank had some customers who
did some trading on the board. Say a
customer would place a deal thru us,
and the bank would finance it for him
that was all the bank had to do with
it. The tie-up of a lot of money in our
litigation in Chicago of course made
customers unable to get 1t: but the Otto
bank was not enough involved in this
way to make any difference at all.

lNvENTs MAIL CRANE.
Clinton Attorney Has Valuable Device
for Catching Mail.

Special to Times Republican.
Clinton, Oct. 10-L. S. Barker, an at
torney Of this city, has invented a mail
crane, which promises to be of consid-
cradle value and possesses number Of
advantages over the cranes now in use
all over the country The main feature
of the new crane is that the arm on
which the pouch hangs drops immedf-
ately after the removal of the sack.
This removes a dangerous appliance
from the lives of'the trainmen, which
are constantly menaced by the arms of
the cranes now in use. Mr.. Barker has
had crane built at the car shops of
the Northwestern railway shops in this
city, and it has been placed at Ca
manche. where it is doing satisfactory
work. 1t is said the Northwestern will
install the new device over it's entire
system, if it proves as valuable as eA-
5Dected.

THE NEW HANDSHAkE.

Latest Society Innovation Introduced
At Horse Show Dinner.
The horse show at New York, just
opened, is responsible for new hand
shake, says the New York News.
The smart set will adopt 1t, and for
year at least, until there is another
such exhibition, it will obtain in the
higher circles.
1t was first used at the horse show
dinner the other day by Berry Wall.
1t was Immediately taken up by others
who were there, and when fashion be-
gan to assemble in the immense garden
it was quickly noticed that the new
handshake was in vogue generally.
The arm is held L shaped against
the right hand side of the body, where
1t hangs naturally and gracefully. The
fore part is stretched out ON direct
line. Hands are then grasped, and the
shake takes place in swaying motion
to and fro. In other words, the hand
goes to the right and left, not up and
down. The swing is from the elbow.
There 10 no wrist movement. No GER
tain number Of sways constitute the
proper shake. There may be only one;
there may be a dozen. 1t simply de-
ponds on the existing feeling between
those greeting each other.
