BIG CROWD ATTENDS
OPENING OF BANK

Fifteen thosuand people inspected
the handsome new building of the
German Savings bank at Third and
Main streets Saturday. 1t was a
record breaking crowd for any similar
event of the kind in the tri-cities
Citizens, men, women and children,
came from miles around to see the
handsome new $25O,OOO home of the
biggest bank in the state of Iowa. At
the same time they also saw the finest
bank building in the state.
Many were the words of surprise
and admiration expressed by the WIS.,
itors. They had previously seen the
exterior of the building and admired
its massiveness and substantially. But
they were more agreeably surprised at
it's interior grandeur and beauty.
Souvenirs, 10000 of them, were dis
tributed among the callers. Carna-
tons were given the ladies and the
best grade cigars, all Davenport made,
TO the men.
Floral offerings, with best wishes
attached, were sent to the new bank
by the H. H. Andersen family, Mrs.
Jens Lorenzen and daughters, SLIDER
stein Bros, and z. K. Putnam. Tele-
grams and letters of congratulation
were received in large numbers from
banks in all parts of the country. The
Rock Island Savings bank cent huge
bouquet of flowers and returned the
compliments sent here on the occa-
sion of its own opening some months
ago

A Man Who Really Hated Women.

A will of confirmed woman hater,
writes Virgil NJ. Harris in Ancient
Curious and Famous Wills" is that of
a rich old bachelor who had endured
much from attempts made by his FAM
lily to put him undet the yoke of
matrimony and who wrote: II beg that
my executors will see that am buried
where there is no woman inferred,
either to the right or to the left Of me.
Should this not be practicable in the
ordinary course of things I direct that
they purchase three graves and bury
me in the middle Of one of the three,
leaving the two others unoccupied"

Miss Barton was 40 years OF age
when she first turned her attention to
the great works of humanity which
have made her name famous.
Her experience as a school teacher
and the organizer Of public school sys-
TENS in New Jersey taught her meth.
odical habits and gave her the ex.
perience In executive work which
made her a commanding figure In the
direction of Red Cross affairs.
That organization was established
in America in 1881 and Miss Barton
was its president from that date until
1904. Before that time she had made
a name for herself by services on
battlefields. beginning in the civil
war and extending through the Fran

her good Offices In the first case by an

importance was In connection with
the great Galveston food relief In
