One After Another.
BY SHOOTING AND DROWNING
Commit Suicide After Making Vain
Struggles to Restore Their
Credit
BY SHOOTING AND DROWNING

SIOUX CITY, Iowa, Aug. 15.-Seven
managers of Iowa Tanks have committed
suicide in about as many months be-
cause Of the misfortunes of their banks.
Five of them blew out their brains; two
committed suicide by drowning
In every case the men had been es-
teemed among the most reliable. honor
able and straightforward citizens Of
their communities. and the developments
following the suicide proved that the
bank involved was hopelessly insolvent.
In mos. of the cases the insolvency
was Of long standing, and the unfortu-
nate bank officer had been driven To take
his own life after long and hopeless
struggle to save his institution and re-
store his credit.
The GTuesome List.
The list Of suicides follow:
Harry Mayne. cashier of the Bank of
Linn Grove. Buena Vista county.
George D. Wood. president Of the First
National Bank Of COlfax, Jasper county.
George c. Wood. cashier Of the st.
Charles Savings Bank, St. Charles. War

shiek county.
G. f. Utterback. cashier Of the Sigour-
ney Savings Bank, Sigourney. KeOlEub
county.
The Spencers, Of Grinnell, father and
son, drowned. At first IL was thought &c
be accidental. but the discovery Of $780,
600 worth Of forged paper in the bank
which was utterly insolvent. and had
been for years, together with other cir
cumstances. left little doubt of the sui
eide theory.

Some Facts for the COnSiGera-
ton Of tie Voters OF BOIL
irCer County.

vi the November election, 1891.
the republicans elected their full
county ticket in our county for the
first time in Il number Of wears.
The financial statement for March
|, 1895, shows that there were war
rants outstanding to the amount Of
SIT, fS6.:1G4; in short that sum was
the amount Of the debt of the coun-
ty. The total receipts given by the
same statement shows the revenue
to have been S13,514.27 for that
year.
Now, 10 one who knows what
he is talking about will pretend to
say that the president ofthc county
court during the next four years is
not one Of the best business men and
tinancicrs in the county and yet We
find that during the next four years
the debt Of the county crcpt up to
the high water mark as the statement
for March |, 1899, shows it to have
been S20,973.73. But during these
years the revenue fell Off as the state
mcnt for the same year shows it to
have been S12.575.51.
At the November election, 1898,
the democrats elected majority OF
the county court and during the next
four years the debt Of the county
was reduced to Sl3,955.l6 as the
statement Of 1903 shows. This
statement shows a total revenue OF
! $14,7l2.00 for that year.
In 1902 the republicans elected a
majority Of the county court and the
statement for March ), 1904, shows
that the debt has been reduced to
S,36l.32. This same statement
shows that the revenue increased
from Slt,712.00 in 1902 to Sl9,G26.
| OF in l9O3-the greatest amount o1
revenue ever paid into the county
treasury in any o2e year by the
people of Bollinger county.
! Now then, the claim has beer
made that the republican party /:
entitled to the credit for this reduc
ton in the debt and that the demo
Gratis are responsible for the indebt
edness Of the county.
We have given the important fact:
in regard to the revenue and you car
figure for yourselfas to the expendi
lures by getting the difference be
