assistance Of DR.. Moore, carried the
man on stretcher to the city hall
He was laid on mattress and died
in about ten minutes.
The body WAS taken to an under
taking parlor and will be buried at
the expense Of the county. 1t is said
that Gill had been in the habit of
going over to the rains Of the ice
plant and drinking some of the beer
from the kegs which were in the fire.
The beer is burnt as we'll as fiat and
germinates gaseous matter in the
stomach. Several nights ago the
officers found several hoboes drunk in
that vicinity and run them out of
town.

Do Not Crowd the Season.

The first warm days of spring
bring with them desire to get out
and enjoy the exhilirating air and
sunsh hine. Children that have been
housed up all winter are brought out
and you wonder where they all came
from. The heavy winter clothing
is thrown aside and many shed their
flannels. Then cold wave comes
aud people say that grip is epidemic.
Colds at this season are even more
dangerous than in mid-winter, as
there is much more danger of pneu
monia. Take Chamberlain Cough
Remedy. however, and you will have
nothing to fear. 1t always cures
and we have never known cold to
result in pneumonia when it was
used. 1t is pleasant and safe to take.

The Des Moines Register and Leader
says that Bleakly's election must be

sands of republicans who cannot be
coerced into supporting John Bleakly
by such a threat. He has forfeited all
claim to republican support. and no
republican who does not regard him as

be deferred from voting against him.
The Register and Leader might have

Banker Favors Guarantee of De-
posits.

On Saturday night, October 26th,
1907, all the officers and stockholders
of all solvent banks in Iowa were con-
tented and happy. There was rumb-
ing down in Wall street, the papers
said, but that was long way from
Iowa, and we went home feeling salts
fled that so far as Iowa was concerned
the financial sky was clear. The
banker and depositor alike were con-
tended with the condition of affairs on
that Saturday night. The banker was
at peace with all the world. no worry,
six O'Clock, and all was we'll.
But between that Saturday night
and Monday morning all was changed.
Like clap of thunder from a clear
sky the new and unheard of clearing
house law enacted late that Saturday
night or on the following Sunday was
enacted without the aid of any author
lied or legal body, and the unlawful
edict went forth everything tied
up" the clearing house" said SO,
land it was SO" From a cheerful,
bright Saturday, with only one day in
tervening, Monday was a dark and
gloomy day for the Iowa banker; all
his cash tied up with other solvent
banks in other cities, except the usual
small amount kept on hand in the safe.
In the common parlance Of the day we
were all up against it. Soon the large
cities began to use sort of father
Less money called clearing house
certificates" that did not clear. Then
cashiers checks were used in some To-
calities that did not check satisfactor-
lily.
There should be some law enacted
to the end that deposits be guaranteed
or insured. The depositors do not
know as matter of fact the safe
bank from the unsafe bank; he has no
way of knowing
The seeds Of doubt sown in the
minds of the depositor and banker as
well, by the panic of October, 1907,
linger yet in the mind of all business
men, and will not be completely eradi-
Gated until some new and better bank
ing law is enacted. There is no use in
saying everything is all right, have
no fears" unless you are able to show
clearly that everything is alright and
that there is no ground for fear. There
is no use finding fault with the deposit
tor for his lack of confidence, unless
the cause for his lack of confidence is
removed. If guaranteed deposits is
not'the best method, what is? While
we are yet in the shadows of the panic
of October 26, 1907, can not some good
Samaritan pour oil on the troubled
waters and bring order out of chaos,
and give US better banking law than
we now have?
A. j. Anders,
Oelwein, Iowa.
The above article, written by Mr.. A.
j. Anders, president of the Aetna
State Bank, of Oelwein, Iowa. the
largest banking institution in Fayette
county, is indicative Of the fact that he
favors better banking laws-in fact,
favors guaranteed deposits. Mr..
Anders is not the only banker in this
part of the state who favors the en-
actmcnt of law protecting the de-
position. We know several, in fact,
quite number, of banke rs not far dis
tant from here who heartily concur
with Mr.. Anders in his contention that
we need "better banking law than
we now have"
