cussed thruout the diocese. and there
are conflicting opinions. The senti-
ment appears, however, to be centering
on the proposition to appoint q suf-
fragan bishop, which is In fact. an as
sistant bishop.
With this proposal in view, the ques-
ton has arisen who shall be appointed
assistant to Bishop Morrison. There
are four available candidates for the
office in Iowa and two outside Of It.
The Rev. John Sage of st. Johns
church, Keokuk, is strongly mentioned.
as also is DR.. ID. Williams Of Iowo
City. the archdeacon Of the diocese
The Rev. Ralph P. Smith Of st. Pauls
chuch, Sioux City, has many advo-
Gates.
OF the two candidates from outside
the state the most prominently men
toned man is the Rev. Harry s,
Lonely, rector Of st. Marks church.
Evanston. ILL., The other is the Rev
j. w. Lindsey of Torrington. Conn
He is strongly urged.
In the event Of the adoption Of any
three of the bishops proposals, Des
Moines would be most directly AFFECT
ed. That city would become the res
idence Of either the coadjutor bishop
the suffragan bishop or the new bishop
who would preside over the other hall
of the state where the diocese divided.
Those who advocate the division OF
the diocese will bring up the question
earnestly, no doubt, but so long as 1t is
very likely that a suffragan oishop
will be appointed they are hardly like

Council Bluffs, May 2O.--In decis-
ion filed in the United States district
court here Judge Smith Mcpherson
finally disposes of the litigation that
has been in progress for several years
over the recovery Of funds deposited
! by the treasurer of Carroll county in
| the defunct First National Bank OF
Carroll, and the sureties on the bond
| of the treasurer are required to reim-
burse the county for the loss sustained.
The case was first decided adversely to
Carroll county, but the decision was
reversed by the circuit court of appeals
and Judge Mcpherson now enters a
decree in accordance with that re-
yersal
Deposits Were Unlawful.
In the decree Judge Mcpherson
points out that one of the defendants
in the case, George l.. McAllister,
treasurer of the county, wrongfully de-
posted in the First National Bank of
Carroll, during the latter part of 1908,

Empire Surety Company. bondsmen for
McAllister in the sum of $4,000; the
Illinois Surety Cumpony, surety in the
same sum, and John Meyers, Theresa
McAllister and William Arts, the latter
now deceased, who qualified and APP
peared as sureties in the sum of 49,.
coo, to reimburse the county for the
sum lost by the bank failure. The
banks receiver had paid back to the
county the sum of s9,030.42, leaving
s20,S9046 yet due.
Must Reimburse County.
Judge Mcpherson orders the Empire
and Illinois Surety Companies to re-
inaburse the county, each for five
twelfths of the amount, or SS,579.36
apiece, and John Meyers and Theresa
McAllister and the administrator of the
William Arts estate the remaining one

awarded each a Judgment against Nc
-Allister in the amount they are forced
to pay to the county.
