In the matter of the receivership of the Officer & Pusey bank, Mrs."C. Harris filed a petition of Intervention in which she al- leges that she made two deposits in the bank, amounting to $145.50, after the firm bad been dissolved owing to the death of the senlor member, Thomas Officer. She inslsts that the persons in charge of the bank at the time had no right to accept he money and asks that the receivers be or- dered to return it to her forthwith. One deposit of $64.50 was made two days after Mr. Oficer's death. Mrs, Harrls is the first creditor to sue for the return of money deposited after the firm had really been dissolved, but there are a number who deposited money after Thomas Officer’s Acath. Claims aggregating $11,445 against the bank were fled with the clerk of the dis trict court yesterday. One of the attorneys representing the committee appointed at a meeting of the bank's creditors stated yesterday that petition would be filed in the district court Monday, but declined to state the nature It is understood that the petition will be in furtherance of the plan proposed by this committee to expedite the liquidation of the bank.

Prof. McLain | has been at the head of the law school | for more than ten years and his work there has been all that could be desired His ambition, however, was to sit on the state way casy. His place at the State univer- | sity 1s much sought after.

No Insurance Agency Combime. The proposed merging of all the fire in- surance agencles for Des Moines into the {hands of one firm is likely to fall because | of the opposition of some of the larger companies involved. A local firm had pro- posed that all the agencies be sold them and that they control the entire business for the city. The matter was submitted to the companles and lotters have been re- celved from several saying they will not consent to the arrangement. One of the companles writes its agent that it will not only not consent to the consolldation of the agencles but will, in case it Is at- tempted, authorize its local agent to write risks on a single line to as high as $12 000, Another writes that it will authorize policies of at least $100,000 to meet the competition proposed in the combine. Those In favor of the comsolidation say they may enter upon it without regard to the few companles that protest, and de- clare thelr belief that they will force the compantes all into & combine in the matter of agencles here. New County. Considerable amusement has been cre- ated by a proposal for a new county to be created in lowa. This comes from What Cheer, the big mining town in Keokuk coun'y, where it is proposed that a new county be made out of parts of Mahaska, Poweshiek, Keokuk and Iowa countles, a part of the township which contains Si- gourney, the county seat of Keokuk county, and a part of the township which con- tains Montezuma, the county seat of Ma- haska county. It scems improbable that any success can attend the effort con- templated. The new county would be popu- lous on account of the large mining Inter- ests in that part of the state and would Le a center of business activity, but it would break the almost uniform symmetry of all the countles of lowa. The State Board of Health fs active In securing punishment of persons gullty of violatiug the rules of the bowrd and em- barrassing health officers in (heir work of preventing spread of discase. They have a peculiar case on trial In the district court in Mahaska county, where Ed DeBoard is accused of the statutory crime of spread- ing an infectious disease. Last spring at a time when smallpox was raging DeBoard became afMicted and, although his case was reporied at once, he went about town as usual for several days. When an offi- cer went to take him to the smallpox hospi- tal he ran away and was with dificulty captured and detained. He was indicted for spreading infection, an offense punish- able as a felony In this state. It Is not known that any serfous consequences fol lowed his conduct, but the board wishes to make an example and demonstrate its authority. Asphalt Paving. The city of Des Moines has come to be Jnown as the head and center of the paving brick industry In the western states, and now has more miles of streets paved With brick than any other city of its slize in the country, the total being about sixty-four miles. For a long time the city uscd wood for paving exclusively and then discovered that brick suitable for paving could be made here. The brick-paved streets have been ratistactory for most purposes, but are not as smooth as asphalt. This week, for the first time, the asphalt people have Leen given a coutract for paving one street with asphalt. They bave long contended that If they could but show their pavement here the Des Moines people would like it | They bhave been fought bitterly by the local manufacturers of brick and by the local newspapers, but, despite the threats of retaliation at the polls, the city council and mayor have given a contract for paving Twenty-third street with asphalt. It is re- garded by the asphalt men as a virtual breaking into the brick territory where it is strongest New Dubuque Rallroad. Another new rallroad project in lowa 1s Clinton, Dabuque & Northwestern. Sen- | ator J. H. Shields of Dubuque, who, with other capitallsts, I8 interested in the project, is quoted as saying in regard to this road h | Thetr “You may say that there is mo doubt that thie road will be bullt 80 shaping themselves that, in a short time, matters connected with the proposed road will be definitely arranged and prepara- tlons made for the prosecution of th work.” Recount of Hoone.
