more or less familiar, was explained in detail, so thoroughly as a matter of fact, that the Mission was general that the legs'. v were impressed
 A he conclusion of the meeting the desegation promised the visitors from Bir- mingham that the troubles of the Maj gic City would be given every consideration and there is reason to believe that the legislators will support ardently all the recommendations of the committee of 100 which are the recommendations of the city itself.
 That Commission Bill
 Only one incident out of the ordinary occurred while the hearing was taking place. While addressing the legislators, Dr. Averyt declared that The Age-Her- aids correspondent had reported that a bill was under way of preparation pro- viding for an increase in the number of Birmingham commissioners from three to five. John B. Weakley in reply said. 1T have not been made aware that such a bill has been introduced There followed a rather impressive silence at the con cluson of which Dr. Averyt expressed his opposition to any such contemplated movement. MT. Weakley thereupon stat ed that he understood that such bill was being prepared and would probably be introduced. Senator Judge supplement- ed this statement by another to the effect that before such legislation was put through, the citizens of Birmingham would be given hearing and their con tention careful consideration. It is un- derstood that following the meeting to- night between the people and their rep resentatives. both parties agreed that good had been accomplished, and that as result everybody was satisfied.

Corning, Oct 30.---Receiver r. c.
Winter. OF the First National Bank OF
this city, Is busy making out the
checks for another dividend OF 20 per
cent which has been ordered paid the
creditors OF the bank by the treasury
department at Washington. This liz
the second dividend. the first being 80
per cent. and 1t is expected that before
the affairs of the institution are wound
up by the receiver. another dividend of
possibly 10 per cent will be paid.
A curious phase OF the liquidation of
the bank is in the fact that of the
checks for the first dividend many have
been uncalled for and yet remain in
the hands OF the receiver. When the
first dividend was ordered 1t was ex-
pected there would be such a rush for
their money by the creditors OF the
bank that extra clerical help was Sc
cured. which was not needed, and 1t
has actually occurred that the receiver
has almost had to force checks for div
idenis upon some. SO indifferent have
they been about the matter. and all
sorts of advertising schemes have been
resorted to to get them to call for their
money.

Address TO Student Body.
Special to Times Republican.
Ames, Oct. 30.-Three thousand or
more members of the student body and
faculty of Iowa State College heard an
inspiring address by Governor George
w. Clark in honor of Founders day"
Governor Clarke told this great host OF
young people that whether or not sue
cess came to them was largely due to
them. Quoting bit of verse, he said:
1T matters not how straight the gate,
How charged with punishment the
scroll:
am the master of my fate
II am the captain of my SOUL
Those words apply to you. students
he said 1T is entirely up to you as to
whether your rfe will pay dividends on
the capital which you have put into 1t
II am for digs" continued the gov
ernor. Il am for grind You may
sheer behind your hand at the dig or
the grind Let me tell you. students,
that there was never any one in this
wide world who amounted to any thing,
| who was not grind 1t Is only by
such a course that you will arrive on
the firing line, where you can work and
do and accomplish"
Following the address by the gov
ernor, President r. A. Pearson gave a
resume of the history Of the college.
Sprung from the idea that liberal
education was as necessary for the Ia
boring and industrial classes as for
other classes, the college now stands as
the peoples college. Way back in 1858
meager $4,000 was appropriated for
, the founding of what is now the Iowa
State College of Agriculture and Me-
chanic Arts. That amount now barely
covers the expenses of a weeks winter
short course. In those days the college
used to have to close down in the win
ter because the buildings could not be
kept warm enough. Things have
changed materially"
! All classes. were dismissed for the
services: flags were flying and the band
was in full glory.
