Some strong men are found there, to be sure, but there are so many others whose names will detract from the gencral strength for one reason or another that the republicans are more cucouraged than they have been before to look for success at the poils March 5.

Me. Trimdlo was elected, and after taking the chair made a speech in which he gave the democratic party the credit of drawing up the constitu- tion of the United States and doing overy- thing else that has brought about the won- derful prosperity of tho presaut time. He roasted the republican party of Jowa for obronking faith with the people of the state in the matter of local opsion legislation: de- clared himself in favor of a b-cent fare to Omaha and advocated the plan of compel- ling the motor company to put flagmen at all railway crossings and other dangcrous points, Perry Spencer was appointed temnorary secretiry and the temporary organization was afterward made permancnt.

The Board of Health held a meeting yes- teraay afternoon at the city building to make some arrangements with reference to the order issued some little time ago by the State Board of Health directing all persons to be vaccinated who have not already sub- mitted to the operation. It was decided not 1o take any very obstréperous move just av present, but merely to couch in very polite language a “request” to the people of Coun- il Bluffs to assist the board in the suppres- sion of smallpox by being vaccinated at once. A resolution of this sort was passed and the papers were requestea to publish it. A con- tract was also entered into with Dr. D. Macrae, jr.. by which heis to take charge of all smallpox cases that may hereafter ariso for #60 per case. 'There are two cases al- ready, which will come 1 under this con- tract.

Bank, ALL ATLANTIC DEPOSYTORS WILL GET ——lns U L Figures Made Public on the Condition of the Cass County Bank Which Greatly Excite the Farmors Who Lost Thelr Money, s ATLANTIC, la.,, Feb. i#—(Special to The Bee.)—The people of this city and were_more_excited today than they were ¢ the day of the fallure of the Cass County bank, and all day long groups of excited men were seen king on the street corners, The local daily paper got out an extra edi: tion this morning, and this, following on The Bee's extended account of the failure, gave the people an idea as to the true con- dition of aff “We won't get 5 cents on the dollar,” said an angry depositor to the reporter this after- noon. “‘We might as well make it whole hog or none and assess the depositors for enough money to pay the receiver and his assistant and then quit.” Out of $515,000 Habilities there will be less than $75,000 available assets, and these lat- ter figures stand a fair chance of baing consid- erably duced. Last night Receiver Steinke, Expert Accountant Black and Judge Deemer were in close consultation for several hours. This morning Receiver Steinke was sum- moned before the grand jury, and while his testimony is a secret, It is known that he gave a partial statement of the condition of the bank. It is pretty well known from authoritative sources that the liabilities will equal $515, 000 and may exceed that amount. The assets are approximated at $100,000, and the more important preferred claims a Cass county, $8,000; Atlantic c'ty, $4,000; Atlantic school district, ov $6,000; other school districts, between $6,000 and $8.000; making a total of more than $25.000. This reduces the assets below $75,000 and leaves the de positors from 5 to 7 cents on the hund for their hard earncd money WHAT THE ICERS OWE. indebtednes President Joseph C. Yetzer in notes and overdrafts is more than §100,000. e turned over $80,000 worth of real estate, but this has an incum- brance of about ,$30,000, leaving _§: good for the bank. This leaves an indebt- edness of something over §: 00. Viece President Isaac Dickerson and his son, Ed- ward, who is ex-county recorder, are in- debted to the bank through notes and over- drafts amounting to about 90,000, and Cashler Albert Dickerson has about 30,000 in the same manner. Director Graves has overdrawn $5,000; Loofbourough, ex-dis trict judge, $7,000; Richards, $4,000 and Montgomery $4,000, making in all over $240,000 in overdrafts by the officers of this institution. These figures were shown to the receiver today, and he said that while they were not correct in detail, they were approximately so. i The arrival of W. C. Carter, B. C. Ven- num and a large crowd of other farmers who lost money has caused considerable apprehension and when the true state of affairs began to dawn on the people the excitment grew to “alarming proportio The court house Is thronged with people summoned as witnesses, and they are de- termined that no gailty ' man shall escape them.

But if such a move is made, this handful of men would be powerless against the horny-handed sons of soil who feel that they have been delib- erately robbed. MUST ALL BE PUNISHED, Levi Downs, an old-time citizen and mer- chant, was seen this merning. He said that the figures now made yublic regarding the affairs of the bank surprised him exceed- ingly, as he had hoped for a better state- ment. He is bondsman for one of the offi- cers who is under arrest, but he says that it is more than likely that all the men con- nected with the concern will have to suffer severely. He upholds none of them, but thinks there is too much excitement and that evil may come from it. “If these people do mot.let the law take its course,” said Mr. Downs, “it will be a lasting disgrace to us. I am sorry for the innocent people who are compelled to suffer for the acts of the officers, but I believe the law will be rigidly carried out and that the accused will have to suffer penal servitude.” When the bank first failed there was a good deal of sympathy expressed for Presi- dent Ye and his misfortunes, But after his first arrest, and-after being informed that another warrant had been issued for his arrest, he suddenly left the city and se cluded himself in Council Bluffs and Omaha. Then the people began to believe him guilt His name is -found signed to bank pap which will also incriminate him. The others who are implicated in the affairs of the bank are remaining very quiet, but the feel- ing is growing stronger ngainst Postmaster Chase, who is editor of the Democrat, and who made affidayit that the notice of sur- render of charter by the bank was given due legal publicity. Receiver Steinke is besought on all sides to give the public a semi-official statement, but he says that as long as he will make his official report this weel, he does not think it best to make any statement at present. The facts which have leaked out during the past few days are only preparing the people for the worst, and many of them think they will sayo practically nothing. One man was around yesterday, who, after reading The Bee's report that the depositors would hardly receive 10 cents on the hundred, declared he would buy all claims at that figure. This morning his market quotations had de- creased abont half, and he was making no bids. There was a rush again today for coples of The Bee, as the people believe they will now get the facts in the cas Judge Deemer met Receiver Steinke and Expert Black at the Cass County baimk to- night and gave them instructions regarding their report, which will be filed this week sure. The men discussed the gravity of the situation and the almost total loss to the depositors, but no new developments were made. county The land China Ree CEDAR RAPIDS, Telegram to The Bee.) of the Poland China Record company was held here today, about 100 breeders of the northwest being in attendance.

The treasurers want to do away with | the bait payment of taxes, an at present, and meetings let the personal be paid first and the realty afterwards. They believe a great deal slips through uncollected because the assessmont I8 made so0 long before the collection. The auditors' legislativo committee reports ad versely to the plan of the treasurers to ask the legislature to extend the term of office to four years. The most of the morning meet- Ing was consumed in a discussion as to the best means of lssulng ballots at election time, and the marking of them, etc. The concensus of opinfon seomed to be that an indelible pencil would be the best thing with which to mark the ballot. The number of reserve baliots, the auditors thought, should be decreased.
