The Allied forces that were detailed

comparatively little civil business to
be transacted, and the term will likely
be dull one and short.

Governor Cornwell of West Vir-
ginia has ordered a requisition issued
on the Governor of Maryland for
Charles r. Durbin, under indictment
for felony in connection with the fail
ure of the Grafton Bank several years
ago, of which he was president. The
specific charge in the indictment is
that Durbin and his wife deliberate 4.
tookfrom the Grafton Bank the sum of
$1,000 without the knowledge of the
directors by simply depositing their
personal note therefor. This is an
other feature Of the bank failure at
Grafton which involved Col. John T.
McGraw. The bitter feeling that was
caused by this trouble cannot, ap-
parently, be alleviated.

A new musical instrument in the
Milheck cafe has been attracting con-
siderable attention this week being
something of novelty as it furnishes
a combination of violin and piano
music. The instrument is called the
Violana. VirtuOsa and was purchased by
James Mill, the proprietor, from the
manufacturers at Il cost of 81 100000.
1t is electric operated and will play
piano or violin music alone and at a
turn of a switch plays both together.
1t is operated on the same plan as the
piano player depending on rolls for the
music. Mr.. Mill states that it is
practically a new thing on the market
and that there are only 4 few machines
like it in the stale. there beiny two in
DesE Moines, one in Cedar Rapids and
one in Mason .City.sS It is equipped
with a Slot macMlie' and va niclsle is
required before 1T will play.di Mr.. Mill
does y not think the machine. viii pay

PETCOFE REPORTED BANKRUPT

vantage of the bankrupt law by going

sorry to hear of this because it is re-

ure such as this.
This man apparently is an honest
man but he has other limitations that
interfere with his making a success in
business. We think it is a mistake for
wholesale houses to trust man who
has little or no financial backing to the
extent that he can purchase thousands
of dollars of goods There are instances
where such a man may have succeeded,
but it is only where a man possesses
unusual energy and CAPACITY, and this
does not seem to be q case of that kind.
