Sheldon. Jan. 14.-Articles Of incor-
poration will be printed this week for
the reorganization of the Union Bank
q private institution, into state bank
under the name Of the Union State
Bank. This bank has been in existence
under different charters, but always
in the same location, since the early
history Of the town and has always
been considered a safe and stable in
stitution. Various men have been con-
nected with the business, but the pion-
eer interests of the bank have been
in the hands Of the Sleepers and Mr..
Sherwood and the connection Of these
men has assured the banks financial
standing. Mr.. A. w. Sleeper, who con-
tinues a large interest In the newly
organized bank, first starting In the
banking business in 1878, and Is thus
one of the pioneer bankers Of the
state.
The directors signing the articles be-
sides A. w. Sleeper are w. P. Iver-
son, P. Mousel, +. w. Miller and T.
II. Diamond. The officers until the
first annual meeting are announced to
be A. w. Sleeper, president: w. P.
Iverson, vice president, and H. P. Mou-
sell cashier.

financial proportions. Notwithstanding
few people now living are likely to see
the administration OF the charity fund
to be created from the one-fourth of
the estate that Is to fall into the hands
of the city at some future date, this
fact does not prevent a lively specula-
ton as to its possible proportions. This
fund does not revert to the city until
twenty one years after the death OF the
youngest grandchild-now a member
of Uncle Sans navy--which terminates
the trust fund and automatically div
vides the estate--one-half to the de-
seen aants of the widow, one-fourth to
the city of Council Bluffs, and one
fourth to the generals alma mater,
Norwich University Of Vermont.
Council Bluffs has Y. M. c. A. well
worth $4,000 and If the Dodge bequest
Is added, which seems likely, 1t will
make one Of the largest organizations
in this section of the country.
