ROYAL. Ia, of which Everett Wayne,
son of the dead man, was cashier, has
also closed Its doors. It is said the

that the Storm Lake interests will

that 1t is understood that the ex-
speaker has formed plan of once

Tor congress In his old district, the
Third. The district is now represent
ed by Judge Birdsall. who was nomi-
mated when Henderson withdrew from
the contest last year. For a month
there have been persistent rumors
that Birdsall. who was promoted from
the district bench when he went to
congress. was likely to be the federal
Judge. He would like the place and
Is equipped for it. The reports Of
Henderson's new ambition add to the
probability Of this course. Senator
Allison is the man who will finally de-
termine who shall be judge. II, as the
friend Of Henderson, he should insist
on Birdsall becoming judge, the latter
would resign from congress soon after
Jan. i: Henderson could be nominal
ed for the vacancy, and would be re-
stored to his seat without losing a ses-
sion: Dubuque and the Third district
generally report that the old feeling
against Henderson has largely died
away. Blrdsall coming from the west
end OF the district, where the dfsaffec-
ton had Its seat, could do much to
placats 1t. It is now seriously sus-
pected that Henderson may reappear
as member Of congress before it ad-
journs. In June. Ex-Speaker Hender-
son stated that he knew nothing OF
the supposed plan Of the Republican
leaders Of the Third district to nomi-
nate him for congress two years
hence. He denied that he is ambitious
to regain his seat In congress, and de.
clares that his visit to Dubuque is for
the purpose Of resting up and meeting
his family. He will return to New
York Dec, 40.
