WARE TRIAL NEXT MARCH.
Court Continues All Cases Against
Seymour Banker-The Receiver
Is Amazed

Corydon, Nov. 2. = All Of the in
dictments against Roy Ware for
fraudulent banking have been contln-
ued. This means that Ware will have
to lie in the Wayne county Jail until
next March, as his bondsmen have
surrendered him to Sheriff Merrick
and at the January term of court
Judge Evans presides, and he being
interested in the Seymour banks af-
fairs cannot hear the cases. All Of
the civil cases connected with the
failure of the bank were also contin-
ed and will now go over until the
next March term of court, when
Judge Towner comes back to Wayne
county.
During the week the matter Of
making the first dividend to the de-
positors of the bank will be taken up
before Judge Towner and it is thought
that payment of about 80 cents on
the dollar will be made.
1t Is said that the further the re-
ceiver and examiner get into tho
banks affairs the deeper and more
intricate the tangle becomes and that
some of the worst practices of bank
ing ever heard of are being revealed,
SuCn as II SeeInS no examiner would
be excused from discovering in his
quarterly examinations. 1t is almost
unbelievable that a bank would per.
NIT one Of it's customers to do bust
ness for period Of six or seven
years, deposit tens of thousands dol
lars, withdraw an equal amount, new
er have a pass book and never re-
ceive back any of his checks and
never In all those years have state
ment from the bank nor balance Of
accounts. Yet this is what was done
with numerous depositors of the bank
and the receiver is now bringing suits
against some whose business is IN
that condition. In one case suit Is
brought against a depositor for $24,-
600 which the books show he owes
the bank, who claims that his pri-
vate record of his account shows the
bank indebted to him.
The whole matter is such a tangle
as doubtless never before existed in
the history Of banking not only in
Iowa, but in the entire country.

THE couNrRYs WEALTH.

In recent article in the Circle mag
azine, James w Van Cleave, president
OF the National association of manu-
facturers, contributed an article en-
titled. "Why Prosperity Will Con-
5tinue." One reason he advanced for
the country's prosperous condition
was the greatly increased production
of manufacturers, minerals and agri-
cultural produce, giving these figures
to emphasize the ssation's resources:
While the HnSted States mas only
5 per cent Of the worlds population it
produces 20 per cent Of the worlds
wheat, rs per cent Of its gold, 80 per
cent of its coal, 50 per cent Of its man
slfacturesa 38 per cent Of it's silver 40
per cent oil Its iron, AZ per cent of Its
steel, 81 per cont of its petroleum, SO
per cent of it's copper, 70 per cent of
its cotton. and 80 per cent of it's corn"
Some of the figures excited surprise
among many who read them, and
some were inclined to question their
authenticity. Mr.. Van Cleve now re-
spends by publishing in tho Exponent.
, st. Louis monthly publication, these
figures from the latest and most re-
liable data which can be secured:

Washington Times.-The youngest
of American presidents is today 40
years of age. He Is thus, after six

Grant when he took the oath of office,
year older than Cleveland, and the
same age as Pierce. He is yet meas
urably younger than all the rest Of

at SO, Mckinley at "a, and SO on
when they assumed the duties of this
high Office. When the death of Will
liam Mckinley made Theodore Rooae-
welt president he was but 43. The
Oldest presidents have been John
Adams, So; Jackson, 81; William
Henry Harrison, 65; Zachary Taylor,
65; James Buchanan, &C. Washing
ton was 81 when inaugurated.
BY the measure of the twenty-five

twenty-five lived beyond the sixtieth
milestone, and one is still living,
Seven grew to be 70. Four-the Ad-
amses, Jefferson and Madison-lived
beyond 80, Only four have failed to
reach 60.
Moreover, he who is president this
year 1907 has, beyond nearly all Of
his predecessors, the advantage If

Of good health and probable long life.
On this 4eth birthday it may be pleas
ant for him to consider them. But.
there is one other fact, which bears
no relation either to the distinction
Of being the youngest president or the
prospect of years to come, which will
make Theodore Roosevelt lighter at
heart today than either-that more
than any other who has held this
Office, he has and keeps the faith and
trust of his fellow Americans.

THE OFFICIAL CATS.

From an Exchanged is curious
fact that the government of the Unit,
ed States maintains and provides for
numerous cats. The army has its
regular corps of them kept at thu
commissary depots of the great cities
and each draws regular pay equal to
S18.25 a year.
1t Is customary for the officer in
charge of each depot to submit to the
war department a request for an al
lowance for SO many cats, and the
regulations provide that meat shall
be purchased for them at a price not
greater than cents pound, to
which stated quantity of canned
milk is added for variety. Experiment
has shown that no matter how excel
lent hunter a cat may be, nor how
abundant the mice, no cat will thrive
properly on a diet Of the unmitigated
mouse; nor does 1t neglect its duties
when other food is provided.
Bids for cats meat are regularly
posted, calling for fresh beef suit

MARRIAGE AND THE CIGAR CUES
TON.

Chicago Inter Ocean-At meet
ing of the Ebell society, a woman
club of Marion, Ind, the question dis
cussed was, "Why Women Do Not
Marry" as if women were not mar
rying now as much as they ever were,
when they were properly courted,
won and asked.
However. this is not the point that
requires discussion here. What we
object to is the assertion made by
more than one of the speakers at this
meeting that women refuse to marry
men because they (the women) DO
not like the odor of tobacco
Such statement, we are satisfied,
will strike most married men dumb
Indeed, most single men who have
got to the point where they make
regular calls, and are left alone with
the girl they call on in the sitting
room, and have gradually begun to
feel at home, will be struck equally
dumb. Because if what the ladies If
the Ebell society say is true, then
woman is as deceitful as some men
have insisted in saying she is through
all the worlds history.
Every married man who smokes,
and every unmarried man who
smokes and is, or has been, steady
company to some woman at one time
or another, will bear us out In the
statement that one of the first things
which a young woman says to young
man after she becomes pretty well
acquainted with him, and learns that
he is addicted to the nicotine habit,
and that he becomes nervous after
his call has extended over two or
three hours. is Thomas Tor William.

why don't you smoke? l love the
smell of good cigar"
Statistics compiled by the British
museum the National library of Par
is, the Imperial library of Berlin, the
Smithsonian institution of Washing
ton, and other places of like charac-
ter throughout the civilized world,
prove tkat 80 per cent of all young
women say this at certain stage
in their courtshlp, and that they con-
tinue to make professions of liking
the smell Of good cigar until from
ogse to three years after their mar
rage. It is further shown that in all
happy unions they never change their
minds.
Now the ladies of the Ebell society
Of Marion, Ind, would have it go out
that women refuse men in the first
place because the men smoke If this
be true, why, the average man will
ask himself, why did she light his
cigar for him long before she expect
ed him to leave? Why did she tell
him that she could love him even IL
he smoked pipe? Why did she give
him box of the vilest cigars he ever
smoked the Christmas before they
were married? Why did she?
But what's the use? Men might be
justified in becoming indignant over
the assertions made in the Ebell So
ciety Of Marion Ind, il they did not

scorching lecture:
TITS too bad that there is not a

type. Able bodied men who shameful
ly beat their wives and let their chill
dren suffer for bread should be whip
ped In the public square and would
like to lay on the lash myself.

stincts than you have
The whipping post though while it
would provide just punishment for the
culprit, would not serve to put food
in the mouths of the hungry ones de-
pending upon the husband. A non
support law compelling the husband
to support his family under penalty
of imprisonment, with provisions for
the caring of the INDECENT family by
the state from the proceeds of the
prisoners labor, should he choose I'M
prisonment, would be better.

SUPPRESS THE cHARlvARl.

Cedar Rapids Gazette-The authori-
ties up at Nashua have decided that
the charivari nuisance is thing that
ought to be suppressed. Last Wednes-
day a Nashua couple went to Charles
City and We're married, returning to
the home of the brides parents the
same day In the evening a mob of
about one hundred, including boys,
girls and even married women gather
ed and proceeded to give the regula-
ton serenade-and then some. In ad-
dition to making nignt hideous with
the usual unearthly noises. the hood
lums procured pole, battered down
the doors. broke window panes, tore
down a chimney and kept up the de-
struction until the fire company was
called out and dispersed the mob by
turning on the water. The injured par
ties and the authorities decided a
good way to start suppression Of
hoodlumism was to invite the particip-
ants In the crime to appear in court,
arrange for the payment of damages
and incidentally the costs of prosecu-
ton. Some of the young women were
placed in the predicament of having
to apologize for their association with
hoodlums and their participation in
foolishness and outlawry of the most
inexcusable kind.
There is not one redeeming feature
to the modern charivari. 1t is a bar
barrie thing worthy Of the dark ages.
1t ought not to be tolerated in COM
munity that pretends to be at least
half civilized. Those who are hailed
into court to answer for their hood
lumism deserve no sympathy They
ought to be fined as heavily as the
law will permit.
