Mr.. Cooper makes one statement
that is very surprising on its face, but
shows the excellent results obtained
from a sunioient appropriation having
been made by the last legislature. He
saysG The expense of maintaining

has been less than in previous years.
although the appropriations made by
the territory TO maintain It have been
more than in previous years, and the
banks have all been examined and sew
eral Of them have been examined twice
during the year The appropriations
provided hy the last legislature, al
though larger than in previous years
have enabled the department to collect
more fees from the banks which have
been paid into the general revenue

priation for 1905 became available
there has been but one bank failure

to allow the examiners to visit every

Biennial Election Law Void.

The supreme court handed
down an opinion Thursday OF last
week in which it was unanimous
ly held that the biennial election
law is void because it seeks to
extend the terms of constitutions
al officers beyond the limits inn
posed by the constitution. The
ruling of the court however, does
not apply to the county super
visors, assessor or register of
deeds. Consequently, these
officers will hold over. The re-
suit of this decision is that we
must hold an election next fall
for the election of acounty Judge
clerk, treasurer and sherie. IfsNe.

it should lose without delas It IL

Death Of L. c. Davenport.

Lewis Cass Davenport died at
st. Mary's hospital in Nebraslsa
City last Saturday after ansill-
ness of several weeks. Mr..
Davenport had been sufferer
from kidney trouble for a long
time and had gone to Nebraska

proved unavailing and he died
as above stated. He lived at
Shubert for many years and had
acted as the manager Of p. S.
Heacock's elevator and grain
business at that place. He came
to Nebraska in 1856 and during
his long residence had acquired
4 wide acquaintanceship and
wherever he was known he was
highly respected. While of a
reserved and undemonstrative
nature he was, nevertheless, of
kindly disposition and one who
was loyal to friendship once
formed. His death will bring
the most sincere regrets to a
wide circle of friends.
The deceased was Born in Gal
|
lipolis, Ohio, March 81, 1899. In
1856 he came to Boownville and
remained there;until 1859, when
he removed. to Nebraska City
and engaged in the overland
freightfng business and later in
the grain business. He was a
charter member of Western Star
