Kimballton's Celebration

The celebration was decided sue
cess in every respect. The day was
ideal and very large crowd came
out, all bent on having a good time.
The stars and stripes We're gorgeously
displayed, showing q true and pa
triotic American spirit. The speak
Ell, Hal Mantz of Audubon, delivered
a masterly address, followed by an
address in the Danish language by
Rev. Nordentoft of Des Moines.
The parade, without going into de-
tail, was one OF the best of its kind
ever seen anywhere. There was only
one drawback, causing little disap-
pointment. The fireworks which
had been sent for did not come. We
hope, however, the people will soon
forget about that and only remember
the good time they had.

HAPPY DESPITE THEIR POVERTY
Residents of Sunny Naples Seem
Never to Repne.

1t is estimated that a quarter of a
million people in Naples live from
hand to mouth, and there are hundreds
OF children who subsist out of the gar
bage boxes, and who sleep in churches
and on doorsteps.
The taxes in Italy to provide war
ships and to keep the nation on a war
footing with the other powers are
really stupendous. There is a tax on
everything, says the Delineator-grain
in the field, fruit on the vine, old bot
ties. Fuel and foodstuffs are very
dear-only labor is cheap For the very
poor, meat is a luxury unheard of and
even macaroni is too dear to be in
dulged in often. There are any num-
Der of perambulating street kitchens,
where various kinds of soup, cakes
and fruits are sold in portions costing
one cent. And yet these people seem
very happy. Bands of musicians are
always playing in the streets; the
guitar and the mandolin are to be
heard everywhere-on the boats. in
the hotels-and the stranger Is lulled
to sleep by soft serenade under his
balcony.
The story teller thrives in Naples,
as there are so many idlers there. He
collects little crowd around him and
proceeds in the most dramatic way,
gesticulating wildly and working his
face into the most excruciating ex-
pressions, to relate stories of adj
venture or other events, much to the
edification of his hearers, who, to
show their appreciation, are often be-
trayed into giving sou which might
have been better spent for bread or
polenta.
The public letter writer is another
street dignitary of Importance, and
in great demand, especially with timid
and buXom maids of all work. who
have themselves neglected to learn the
art OF writing. Of such the public let
ter writer holds all the secrets of their
loves and is often their adviser as
we'll as amanuensis.

DEPosIToRs FAVORED.
Secure Tactical Advantage in $s5o,oo0
Case at Charlton,

Chariton.-For some time the de-
positors of the defunct First National
bank have been trying to have to
S350,O00 claim of the Modern Wood
men of America thrown out, and At
torneys Stuart, Stuart & Stuart have
been working on the case for some
Time. They have finally succeeded in
getting ruling from the comptroller
OF the currency that will reverse the
position of the two parties in the
case, and the Modern Woodmen will
be put on the offensive in the case in
stead of the depositors.
Attorneys Stuart claimed to the
comptroller that the admission of the
Woodmen claim as bona fide deposit
in the bank, without the depositors
having an opportunity to show that it
was not bona fide deposit, was un-
fair to the depositors, so the comp
troller finally consented, If the de-
posltors would put up bond suf1i-
cient to cover the costs in the trial
of the case, to reverse his first ruling
in the matter, and throw out the
Woodmen claim, thus forcing the bur-
den of proof on the Woodmen, instead
of on the depositors. The case will
have to be tried in court the same as
before, but the Woodmen will now
be the plaintiff and the depositors the
defendant, which is an advantage Tor
the depositors.
Receiver Jamison say there is now
a little over 100000 on hand for the
depositors, and will ask permission
to pay the first dividend as soon as
the preferred claims are ruled upon
by Federal Judge Smith Mcpherson,
who will hold federal court, to hear
all the preferred claims in bulk.
There are eight or ten of these
claims, the principal one being the de-
post of Lucas county in the defunct
First National bank. 1t is probable
that the case will be appealed to the
circuit court of appeals, no matter
which way Judge Mcpherson decides
it. The term of court to he held will
be known as part of the Creston
term, it being held here only for
convenience, as all the evidence is
here.
