Des Moines, Dec. 19.-The executiv
of Senator Harlan that shall be place.
in the hall OF fame in Washington
shall represent him as he appearet
when he was in the senate the las
time. That was the conclusion of hi!
public career and it is thought tina
posterity will know Of him as a mem.
Der of Lincoln's cabinet and as tn
man who answered Car Schurz ant
Charles Sumner in the debate o"e'
the San Domingo matter. Further
more it was the wish of his daughter
Mrs. Robert Lincoln, that the statue
represent him at that age.
The matter would not be so import
ant except that the appearance o
Senate Harlan was SO greatly changed
when he died from that when he lefi
the senate hat one would scarcely
recognize two pictures of him at these
times as being the same man. Now
thai the executive council has decided

Sherry Fry will at once begin work
on their statues of the man. 1t is
| expected that this work will take some
time and it will be some. months be-
fore the council is ready to award
the contract for making the statue.
Stockholders of the Corwith Savings
bank have been in Des Moines max
ing an investigation to ascertain how
much they will have to dig up" be-
cause of the d%efalcation Of Cashier
Standring., The banking department of
the state auditors office believes that
unless a large number OF bad notes
or something is discovered the stock
holders will have to a an assessment
Of about 80 per cent on their stock.
%Standring, it will be remembered,
forged the names of prosperous farm
ers to notes. placed the banks en-
dorsement on the notes and then sold
the notes and appropriated the money.
This results in the bank having to
pay the, notes. 1t is believed that if
all the notes held by the bank are
found to- be good and no large
amount of the forged notes are dis
covered in addition to those already
located the 80 per cent assessment
will be sufficient. Stan1ring turned
over a SIS, 900 farm to the directors
of the bank which will help out some,
but his stock in the bank canno be
assessed because aside from his farm
ment. Some of the other assets
Of the bank will not pay out. 1t is
believed in any event that the deposit
tors will get their money in full.

Cummins of Iowa may be the platform
orators at the monster temperance
massmeeting of the temperance work
ers in the state to be held in the Aud
itorium early in February. Governor
Cummins may be asked to preside over
this meeting.
This was the suggestion thai came
from the temperance representatives
of the state called in preliminary
meeting in the Y. NJ. c.. A. yesterday
afternoon. Until a definite program
committee was formulated no definite
action cOulQ pc AIKEN.
The arrangement committee, when
selected by the temporary officers, will
include nine members and will go fur
Their than the preliminary call, which
limited the committee to temperance
workers, and include public men of
the state to act together with temper
ance representatives. The committee
that will serve until a permanent Or
g%anization can be affected at the mass
meeting is made up Of: Rev. w. G.
Barber, p%resident2 Mrs. Ida B. Wise,
vice president; Miss Harriet Yeater.
secretary, and Rev. A. c. Douglass,
treasurer.
Each minister in the state will be
asked by the preliminary meeting Of
ficers to have a Sunday Of next month
set apart for the raising Of funds and
agitation of the amendment question.
From these collections it is expected to
finance the arrangements for h Feb
ruary meeting until a permanent or
ganization can be named and incor-
porated. Judge ]. A. Harvey of Perry
was chosen to draw up the incorpora-
ton papers.
After the joint temperance assocta-
ton has been formed, it is planned to
begin active work on the resubmission
question in Iowa, working from small
er districts to congressional districts,
and placing the nomination Of legisla-
tors solely upon their position on the
amendment submission. The temper
ance people propose to become skilled
politicians and see that their efforts in
the next two years bear fruit in the
legislature, and the temperance
amendment be finally submitted to the
people for vote.
Reviewing practically the history Of
the old prohibition fight and defeat, the
members attending the preliminary
constitutional amendment resolution
submitted to the legislature in 1882.
Judge Harvey was author of the reso-
luton. It was adopted after some dis
cussion with a view to cutting out all
reference to former prohibition fight
history. Judge Harvey was the au-
thor Of the first constitutional amend
ment resolution ever introduced INTO
n state and was first introduced in
Iowa.
