Interest has been, aroused by the
report emanating from Sibley that

Rapids, to shorten the Sioux Falls
line, and will establish division head
quarters at Sibley. The report is

Northwestern will erect extensive
shops and a new depot in Clinton.
Mrs. j. R. Rogers, the wife of
wealthy farmer living twelve miles
south of Winterset, was seriously
and perhaps fatally hurt in runa-
way. While holding the team in front
of a store at Winterset an automobile /
frightened the animals and they be-
came unmanageable. After running a
few blocks the vehicle struck a stone,
throwing Mrs. Rogers to- the pave
ment on her head. She was rendered
unconscious, and internal injuries are
reared. A deep cash was cut in her
head and her hand hurt. She is
elderly and her recovery is doubtful.
The registration in the city of Des
Moines on the 26th and 9th was
very large. In the Fourth precinct
of the First ward, for instance, fifty
registered Friday and seventy-three
registered Saturday Politicians there
say that they expect more than this
number to register on the Bird, which
will be the last opportunity to qualify
as a voter The same increase in the
number Of persons who desire to vote
has been noted all over the city as
that in the Fourth of the First. 1t
indicates that there is livelier inter-
est in the campaign than the surface

thinking
Compelled to leave Northwestern
train on account of sick child, a
Portuguese family is mourning over
its death shortly after in the waiting
room of the station at Boone The
mother carried her precious little bur-
den into the waiting room and call
was hNrriedly sent for physician,
but before doctor could arrive the
little one had died in it's mothers
arms. The family was travelling to
San Mateo and their transportation
was written out to F. G. Ventura.
They could scarcely understand Eng
fish. Mr.. Ventura had considerable
money with him
Because Dr. Isaac Bowden of New
hall refused to pay judgment Sc
cured against him, Herbert E. Had
ley, young attorney of Nevada, has
secured possession of Bowden's prop
erty, a two story brick building worth
$4,000, for the sum Of $50. A year
ago last August Hadley secured a
judgment against Bowden for about
$1,000 for client, and attached the
property. Bowden paid all Of the judg-
ment with the exception of fifty cents
and the costs. The latter consisted
largely Of Mr. Hadley's attorney fee.
Bowden absolutely refused to liqui-
date further. There being no other
way to force collection, an execution
was issued and the property was sold
in front of the court house by the
sheriff, Mr.. Hadley being the pur.
chaser.
In suit to recover on $4,000 from
the defunct Corning State bank, Judge
Evans at Corning ruled that the Iowa
State Savings bank and the Des
Moines National bank, both of Des
Moines, cannot loan money to saw
ings Institutions except for deposits,
expenses of management and obliga-
tons incurred to obtain money to
pay it's depositors. The Iowa State
Savings bank had $4,000 in oertii-
Gates guaranteed by President Larue
Of the defunct bank and the balance
Of about $4,000 in notes. The Des
Moines National had certificates of de-
posit amounting to s10,500 issued in
the name of Beaumont Apple and as
signed to the Des Moines institution.
The court in it's decision declares
that this transaction was a loan, that
the Corning bank had no right to
borrow under such conditions and that
Receiver Andrews had no legal liabtl-
ity for the payment.
Rev. Father Carey, pastor Of ST.
Raphaels Catholic cathedral, has CIV
en- out statement regarding the re-
fusal to Hyde post of the use of the
ritual of the G. A. r. at the burial of
John Burns, veteran of the civil
war, and as result of which the
local members of the Grand Army
refused to attend the services. Father
Carey stated that "the Catholic
| church forbids ritualistic services of
any kind outside the church pro-
visions, and consequently the stand
taken at the funeral of John Burns
that has caused much comment was
nothing out of the ordinary. Even
the constitution of the Mount Olivet
Cemetery association forbids the SER
vice of any ritual other than that of
