from Cherokee district, F. r. Gaynor,
, Judge, the supreme court has affirmed
the opinion of the lower court. DR..
Perkins, a dentist of Des Moines, was
shown by the record In this case to be
regularly licensed practitioner and
his license was of record In Polk and
Cherokee counties. He was accustom.
ed to visit Cherokee, engage room
at hotel and practice his profession.
In March, 1900, he was charged with
violation of an ordinance Of that
city in that he held himself out as
dental surgeon without procuring
| license, as provided in the ordinance,
| The mayors court rendered a judg
ment against the defendant, but on an

Attorney General Mullan, In an
opinion Of the greatest Importance to
the banking interests of the state. has
advised Auditor Of State Merriam that
national, state and private banks may
lawfully organize and conduct savings
departments In connection with their
general banking business. He also
holds that individuals, partnerships
and private corporations may carry ON
a savings bank business. The only
restrictions under which savings de.
partments so organized are placed ara
those imposed by section 1859 of the
code. prohibiting the use of the words,
savings bank and savings institu.
ton" in advertising their business to
the public. The question Is one that
has been agitating banking circles of
Iowa. 1t became acute at Shenandoah
recently. Some Of the national banks
In Iowa have lately, 1t appears. been
organizing savings departments. This
was done at Shenandoah. County at.
torney Sutherland took up the matter
and threatened action against Presi.
dent Reed of the Shenandoah Notional
bank For taking such a step. He ad.
vised with Attorney General Mullan,
who counseled against precipitate &C.
ton and advised investigation of the
question Of the rights of national
ments. Auditor Merriam has also
been beset with questions on the same
proposition and when he requested the
attorney general for an opinion that
officer undertook thorough inyestiga.
ton Of the question which has not
been adjudicated by he courts.
Steven Schlabe, a maltster of Dav.
export, hanged himself and the in.
quest developed the fact that he took
his own life because he had lost three
weeks wages in slot machines.
Some OF the rivers of Siberia flow

over nine feet thick.
