LOSES QUARTER MILLION.
spencers Defrauded Grlnnell Bank
Out Of $245,ooo.

Grinnell, April 5.-H. W. Spaulding,
administrator Of the estate of Henry
G. Spencer, who wrecked the First
National bank Of Grinnell, filed his
final report at Montezuma yesterday.
The tragic death of Spencer and his
son, Clarke H. Spencer, who were
drowned in Arbor lake in the summer
of 1904, followed by the discovery
that Mr.. Spencer, who has been for
years the trusted cashier Of the First
National bank of Grinnell, was deeply
indebted to the bank and the immedi-
ate closing of the bank and the ap-
pointment Of a receiver will be we'll
remembered throughout the state.
The claim of the receiver of the bank
against the H. c. Spencer estate was
approximately $26S,0 and the final
report Of the administrator shows
that the estate paid $4,000 of this
claim, leaving an %unsatisfied shortage
of about S245,000. The dividend of
8.63 per cent reported blythe admins
traitor as paid all of Spencer's credi.
tors, exhausted the funds available.
George w. Swords, receiver of the
bank, has already paid sixty-fiye per
cent of the claims against the bank
and probably when the affairs of the
bank are wound up seventy-1ve per
,nAnt of its creditors will be satisfied.

70 GRADUATE IN SHIRT WAISTS
Elaborate Costumes WED Down by
Nebraska Hiqh School Girls,

Fremont, Neb., April 5.-The high
school girls of this city have declared
in favor of the shirt waist as a gradu-
alton costume, the common sense
majority having made the decision
over the protests Of several society
girls, members of the class; who are
shocked by the decision in favor of so
plain a garb. The question was put
to a vote and the shirt waist won by
only a small vote.
Il would as soon be married in a
kitchen apron as graduated III a shirt
waist" declared m indignant girl,
whose plans had been made for an
elaborate graduation gown.
Since the first vote was taken sew
eral strong attempts have been made
to change the decree, but the shirt
waist advocates are firm in their de-
termination to keep down the cost of
their dresses for the June day when
they finish their work in school. There
are several members Of the class who
cannot afford expensive dresses, and
largely out Of consideration for these
many Of the girls voted in favor Of
the short waist. The girls of the class
entered into an agreement that the
minority should act with the majority,
no matter what the vote might be, so
the girls with wealthy fathers feel in
honor bound to follow the decree of
the first test in the event they are I'M
able to overthrow it by another vote.

CONTRACT is LET.
Grading to Begin on New Highway
Between Ottumwa and AGENCY,


The board of supervisors has award
ed the contract for the grading of the
old Ft. Maidstone ttumwa railway
right of way to H. S. Teesdale. The
steel for the bridge at Sugar Creek
is on the ground and it is expected
that the bridge will be completed
this week-and the grading finished
within thirty days.
The new road between Ottumwa
and Agency will be considerably short
er than the one now in use and there
will be no steep hills. The right of
way was secured by the board at a
very reasonable figure and at the
earnest solicitation of a large number
of farmers in Agency township. 1t is
not the intention, however, to aban-
don the present road.

JOINT COMMITTEE NOW
AT WORK ON COAL SCALE

had been voted not to make it public
and if possible not to disclose it to
the miners at any stage of the pro-
%ceedings.
Does it contemplate the making Of
a scale independent of the Illinois sit
uation or what has or may be done in
other states?" was asked last night of
Commissioner Reese.
1T does" he replied.
Keep Secret Well Guarded.
Does it contemplate the granting of
the 5.55 per cent increase asked by the
miners with only such changes from
the 1903 agreement as will prevent To-
cal shut downs and sus~pensions?"
II could answer that question by
saying no, but it would not De a fair
answer except that l explained why
and I cannot at this time give you the
explanations"
Then the operators are not willing
to grant the demand made by the min
ers?"
9" think my answer to the previous
question covers your last question"
do you think your position is one
that will lead to a settlement with the
miners "
Il can only say that I think it is a
fair position and one the miners can
come to h%onorably," said Mr.. Reese.
Does it contemplate the granting of
the increase asked for on the condition
that the advance shall hold for two
years provided more favorable scales
are not made with the operators in
competitive fields, such as Illinois, and
with the proviso that if such scales
are made there is to be a ~re-adjust-
ment in Iowa to meet the conditions
in the competitive fields?"
To this Mr.. Reese replied that the
operators had voted not to issue a
statement yet and that he must be x
cused from further questioning and
must decline to a further interview.
