BONDS OF THE BANKS.
Judqe Howe Holds That State OF Iowa
Can Collect Taxes Upon Them.

DIES MONIES, Iowa, Nov. 14.-Judge
Howe has handed down a decision az
fecting taxation of all savings and ma
tional banks in Iowa He rules that
savings banks may hold bonds and
that the state may collect taxes on the
same from the bank itself. Govern
ment bonds may be regarded, as an
exemption from the property or the
bank itself but in assessing SHARES
against the holders no deduction can
be made because the band holds gov
eminent bonds.
The case involves 100000 in as
sessments in the city Of Des Moines
alone. and when applied by assessors
all over the state will increase the
state assessment not less than $4,000

UmatiIIa Wheat Outlook Is Promising
Ideal Growing Weather Prevails.

pENDLETON. Ore, Nov. 14.-With
IN. exception Of a few districts the re-
ports from all parts of the Inland En-
pjr- are that conditions could not be
NOR. favorable this fall to induce a
big wheat yield next season. More
winter wheat has been sowed than
ever before. it is estimated and far
more fail blowing has been done for
spring sowing than has been the case
for several years. The rolling hills of
the fertile Umatilla are either bright
greer with tall wheat or black with
the rich upturned earth from the fall
pIpwiug. Reports from all sections
uf that great wheat belt are that never
We're fall conditions more favorable for
spring wheat.
October gave the winter wheat plenty
of chance to terminate, and the genial
warmth which followed for the remain
der of the month made it grow Justify.
Rain came again the last Of October
and the first of this month, just when
it was needed-the soft, even rain of
the Inland Empire, which does not
make gulIies or wash the soil out of
shape. The first snow has come at an
ideal time, says the farmers and is
being followed by more sunshine.

ADJUSTMENTS
1.-THE Little Outcast."


"A Little Outcast which will be
presented at the Walla Walla theater
next Wednesday. Nov. IS, is a radical
departure from the old style melo-
dram. Many novel characters are in
troduced and a wealth of scenery is
carried by the company to properly
stage the production. The play is the
plain story of a man and his faults, and
moves from scenes of fashionable life
20 uptown mansions to the life of the
under world" down in the haunts of
evil and crime. Paul Weston is a
young man in the employ Of a veal
thy broker, Mr.. Harcourt. Incidental
~ he is also the secretly welded hus-
band of Mr.. Harcourt's pretty daughter
Madeline. Back in the years before
circumstances brought him to the rich
brokers' notice. Weston had served
a term in prison for another mans
crime, but knowing the indelible brand
such a thing leaves on a mans record
he had never mentioned it to anyone
and with a determination to make a
new name for himself had striven
manfully upward. until at the opening
of the play he was about to be &C
cepted as a Junior partner in the firm
His nemesis, however, is close upon
him, and he is recognized by a for
mer cell mate. To buy his silence Wes-
ton compromises himself by taking
money from the safe, intending to re-
place it Immediately. His detection by
the disappointed nephew of the broker
who has hoped to be both partner and
son-in-law, leads Weston into terrible
trouble and misery. Deserted by all
but the faithful neWsbOy, Bob" and
mOurned by his wife as dead he sinks
to the lowest depths of degradation,
until by a Divine Providence he is
shown the error of his ways and works
out his own redemption.
His final victory over self and over
his enemies and the restorat ton of his
wife and his fortune make the strong
est drama of human emotions ever
staged, fascinating in interest, intense
in realism, and superb in dramatic
power.
