"The House of a Thousand
Candles IA indeed an unusual
dwelling house. 1t serves. the
purpose of an eccentric, whim.
sical and lovable old man; 1t
proves that secret passagewaye,
gloomy vaults and hidden panels
are not exclusively confiI ed to
medieval castles; 1t becomes q
place for hidden treasures, and
around the old fashioned domi.
cile there is woven web Of In
trigue, of plot, of revenge, of vi
olence in manifold forms, and
against it Is also centered the
hate of a jealous woman. In
fact, the entire gamut, of human
passions seemingly runs riot In
the ancient House of a Thousand
Candles until Squire GlenaTm's
scheme Is carried to it's logical
end, bringing with it true love,
peace and happiness and a rich
Inheritance.

, BOOK AGENTS BARRED
J FROM MEETING OF STATE
TEACHERS ASSOCIATION

Des Moines Oct. 20---Iowa school
teachers who will hold their annual
convention in Des Moines beginning
Nov. will not be troubled by persist
ent book agents. IL an edict of the ex-
ecutive committee of the Iowa State
Teachers Association Is carried out.
1t Is proposed to bar the book men
from the floor of the convention and
from the hotel Hobbies where the dele
gates may be staying.
Formerly the agents were about tho
most conspicuous persons about the
convention hall and the hotels. They
had banners. tables full of books and
pamphlets and other miscellaneous
school room supplies all over the
place. At last years convention two
Of the most enterprising agents had
monographs singing favorite school
songs to add to the general confusion.
This year, however. the executive
committee has decided to assign the
agents to less prominent locations.
They announced that the headquarters
of the convention will not be located
in any hotel that permits agents to
unpack their lines in any spot below
the third floor.
1t is said that the agents are angry
over the decision of the COMMITTEES
and they even have threatened to
boycott the convention, the hotels and
Des Moines. However. the members
OF the committee believe they will be
on hand with their exhibits. If they
are. big curtain in the convention
hall will separate them from the con-
vention proper.

Nevada, Oct 20. Judge r. M.
Wright has just rendered his decision
in a case of peculiar interest there,
that of the First National Bank VS..

time Lockwood Grain Company failed
a check was issued to Knud Knudson
from the Shipley office in payment Tor
grain purchased. The check was sucn
as was ordinarily used from that OF :
flee and made payable at the First
National in this city. The Lockwood
company kept no balance but checked
on tina. bank and the checks were at
tached regularly to sight drafts which
were promptly honored, a custom that
had been going on for years.
Knudson cashed his check at the
Peoples Savings Bank and on Friday
it was cleared there in the usual order
of business thru the First National.
The first of the next week the Lock
wood company failed and the First Ma
tional sought to recover from the Peo-
pies Savings on the check. This ac-
ton was resisted and the matter was
tried at the last term Of the district

under advisement and rendered his de-
cision in favor of the Peoples Savings
Bank on Monday.
