900 for the Association.
The largest appropriation ever
made by a railroad company for the
establishment of Young Mems Chris
tian associations along it's line has
just been authorized by the board of
directors of the Southern Railway
company which, upon the recommen-
dation of its president. voted that
100000 be spent in the erection of
buildings and the betterment of the
railroad association equipment at di-
vision points along the line of its road
during 1905.
This will provide three new build
ings and extensive improvements in
the associations already organized.
The excellent influence of the asso-
ciation on the men centering at one
of the most rough and raw division
points on the road has led the presl-
dent to recommend the extension and
equipment of these associations.
TIE Southern Railway company
has recently made an appropriation
of $4,000 for a building and provid-
ed a central and valuable site i'm

made.

One Of n,sh's Victims

Ei. Times: Every news
paper reader has been follow
ing the progress Of the many
charges placed against John
Hoch, the bigamist, who has
just been returned to Chicago
from New York whore he had
been ia hiding. 1t is unneces-
sary to review the many cpl
sodas as Your readers are al
ready familiar with most of
the cases. 1t is rumored that
a Missouri Valley woman was
unfortunate enough to be
among his list of wives. The
correspondent was fortunate
enough to learn a great deal in
regards to the Missouri Valley
lady's experience. Mr.. John
Hook was at a famous fashion
able health resort, and being a
man of refinement and a man
of supposed wealth became
acquainted with the Missouri
Valley lady, who was enjoying
a visit there with friends. The
lady was thrown in Mr.. Hoch's
company on many OF her
friends pleasure drives and
parties and they soon became
very friendly. A short time
together and Mr.. Hoch started
his campaign of love making in
his clever and cunning manner,
making the lady believe she
had at last met the idyl of her
sweetest dreams. BY his very
persuasive attentions he soon
induced the lady to promise
him her hand in marriage
After the visit ended the lady
returned to Missouri Valley and
of course correspondent with
her lover. Of course the re-
p Gated declarations Of love and
the glowing description of their
honeymoon abroad, the many
beautiful, alluring descriptions
of the places they would visit
kindled the fire and resulted in
the lady Fastening to a faraway
city, where they were married.
The account of the marriage
was copied by the Times and
congratulations were sent her
by the score. A day or two
after the wedding he induced
her to obtain a loan from a
relative and let him have the
money, telling her he would
have to go to a nearby city to
dispose Of his business interest
there, after which he would re-
turn and their happiness would
then be undisturbed. The lady
has since realized how badly
she was duped, and wondered
why women could be so fool
ism. This is a bitter lesson.

SUCCESSFUL BANKING.
Three State Savings Banks Show
GsOd MANAGEMENT.

1t is a most substantial evil
'dsnce of the productiveness and
prosperity of this garden valley
of the world to find three Saw
ings banks within 20 miles. all
prosperous and successful to.
the highest degree. This is
due no more to the condition of
the country than to the fore
sight of the managers in meas
urlng Alright the sources of
wealth and the trend of the
business interests of the COM
munity.
For instance, few believed a
Farmers Mutual Grain Com
pany at California junction
could or would pay, yet that
concern, with a capital of
$4,000 and a $4,000 elevator,
is doing a business of $1,000 a
day, on a profit of 10 per cent.
The foresight Of w. A. Smith
made this possible.
So too, the foresight of w. j.
Burke in matters of banking,
made possible the building of a
chain of three local banks, that
with a combined capital of
S50,O0O have gathered a sur
plus of $4,000 in about five
years.
The parent bank is the States
Savings bank of Missouri Valley
with a capital stock of $4,000
and a surplus of $1S,OOO, with
deposits averaging S15o,0C0;
w. A. Smith, Pres; w. j. Burke
cashier. This bank was estab-
lished in 1898, and it's home is
in one of the finest bank and
office buildings in western Iowa,
costing $4,000. 1t is a stone
and brick structure, finished in
side in antique oak, bronze and
marble, with tiled floors.
MODALE SAVINGS BANK
This bank was organized in
1908, with a capital stock of
$4,000. 1t already has a sur
plus of $4,000 and deposits av-
eraging $4,000. 1t has just
moved into the cosiest country
bank buildings in western Iowa,
costing $4,000. The structure
is OF Greclan design, 24X32,
with an annex 12x22. The
walls are of pressed brick and
stucco, trimmed with Koato
cut stone. The furnishings
are of antique oak, veneered,
bronze ratings, and tiled floors.
The safe is a burglar proof
Manganesestee] costing 81, 200,
besides a fire proof vault, very
valuable for housing valuable
papers in a town where there
are no other fire proof vaults.
The roof is of slate and the
whole structure practically fire
proof. John Young is presi-
dent and II. M. Silsby, cashier.

Cold
Logan Observer;

cold weather causes many eX-
pressions as to cold days in past
years, so | submit the records
of a few of the coolest days we
ever had. Until about 16 years
ago we used a common Their
mome5er and the observations
were taken morning, noon and
night, but since using the
Government instrument which
consist of a mercury instrument
for the maximum and an al
chohol instrument for the mini
mum the record is made show
ing the maximum and mini
mum for "a hours, also the read
ing at six o'clock, the time Of
taking observation.
On Jan. l, 1885, the record
was 80 degrees, 8 degrees,
Is degrees, and father writes
in his diary "Clears and coolest
day we ever had in % years of
Iowa life"
In JAM, 1886, | find a cold re-
cord for several days which |
consider about as cold as we
ever had. Father and mother
were spending the winter in the
east and Miss Effie Adams, then
a teacher in our schools, was
keeping the record, and | SUBJ
NIT a few Of the coolest days
with the diary entries comment
ing thereonby Miss Adams.

The foregoing six days show
very cold and continuously so,
and all old timers around Logan
will remember Jan. Sth, as be-
ing the worst day they ever ex-
perienced, it not getting warm
er than "a degrees during the
day, while there was as much
snow as now and a high wind
all day.
Feb. 4, 1886, we get the low
est record up to that time al
though it warmed up during
the day. 1t was "a degree; Z
1 degrees and 0 degree.
Incidently | will mention
hece that during November of
Is 56, on the 18th and 18th, was
the big two days blizzard of
wind and snow, and while not
cold it piled up snow to beat
anything in recent years.
Jan. 18th 1888, 81 degrees
3 degrees, Id degrees, and
the Diary reads, "Clear and
coolest day we ever had in la. ;"
This was the Sunday follow
ing the awful Nebraska blizzs I'd
of Jan. 18th, in which several
lives were lost.
We have never equalled the
two low points of 81 degrees
until Feb. End, of this year
when it again reached "a de-
grees, and as the present in
strument if not so sensitive as
those we used when that record
was formerly made am of the
opinion that last Thursday was
probably the very coolest low
point we ever reached. On
Saturday, the 18th, it reached
