J. Stewart and J. J. Hess, represent- iug a large number of creditors of the bank, | for permission to employ an expert to make | | an investigation of the books, accounts and assets of the defunct banking institution. They were not opposed to the examination as asked for under certain conditions, but |are opposed to the expense of such ex- | amination belng paid out of the assets of the bank. They say they do not know, and cannot now concelve of “any investigation in de- | tail” of the books, paper and assets of said bank, “and which these receivers are not any legal duty or obligation to per- (as alleged in sald application), | which will be for the protection of or bene- fit to the creditors of the bank, and they allege that they are now, and have been at all times, willing to give the creditors of the bank all Information sought by them, within their knowledge as to the condition and affairs of the bank. They sald that they Interpose no objec- tion (o the appolutment by the court of a reliable and competent expert in bank and assets of the bauk as the same aro in their possession, provided, however, that such books, papers and assets are ordered to remain and continue in the possession and custody of the recelvers, in the place where they are now, and provided that such examination shall be made in the presence of the recelvers, or one of them, and in such a way as not to interfere with or fm- pede the recelvers in the discharge of thelr dutles and the dispatch of the business com- mitted to them, and that such examina- tion is made at reasonable and seasonable hours, and without expense to the recelvers or to the estate. Object to the Expense. On their own behalf and that of the creditors not represented in the application of J. J. Stewart and others for an exam- ination of the books, etc., the recelvers state that they most earnestly protest against the making by the court of an or- der providing that the expenses of the pro- posed examination shall be pald out of the assets of the estate and thus fall in the greater part on a large majority of the creditors of the bank who are not seeking any such examination, for the reason it would be unjust to such creditors and that such examination would not result in any pecuniary benefit to any of the creditors and would be the Incurring of useless and unnecessary expense to the estate, to the diminution of the fund# for the payment of the creditors and for the further rea- son that such examination is not In the interest of such an economical administra- tion of the winding up of the affairs of the bank as 1s dictated by its condition and the rights, interests and claims of all the creditors.

Hess, who filled the application on behalf of a large number of depositors in the bank, #ay that while they do not expect the ex- emination of the books as msked for will result in any pecuniary benefit to the crod- itors, they expect it will reveal whore much of the money deposited by the cred- itors of the bank went. It is possible, they say, that such an examination may bring to light further assets of the late banking firm. N. Y. Plumbiag Co., telephone 250, 8t. Paul's church * building.

In the event of Con- mey being removed to the pest house today the antiue upon the hospital will be 1ifted the expiration of fourteen days The quarantine on the Marr residence will be raised in fourteen days in any case, Conmey's case, it Is sald, will bring up again the question of the llabllity of the county for all the expenses incurred in con- nectlon with the quarantine. At the time of the Youngs at Broadway in February, 1899, the county refused to pay the expenses of the special watchman em- ployed by the city to enforce the quarantine | regulations on the grounds that it was po- lce duty and the expense should be borne by the city. The question was taken into ourt and Judge Smith ruled In favor of the county. The city authorittes contend the ruling was contrary to the implied meaning of the law, and the same question may be ed in the courts again this time. City Solicitor Wadsworth expressed himselt yesterday as being in favor of test- ing the question again The Board of Health held a short sesston last evening to straighten out a few mat- ters in connection 80 that its proceedings might be strictly in conformity with the law. TAX FERRET CONTRACT UP AGAIN, at case Bonrd of Sup ors Informally Dis- cuss the Situntion. The county's contract with F. M. Cun- ningham, the tax ferret, was brought up at yesterday's sesslon of the Board of Supervisors by Member Matthews, who said he belleved the board ought to place itself on record in the matter at the present ses- slon. Member Matthews wanted to know if the board intended to abide by the contract in the face of the opinfon rendered by County Attorney Killpack to the effect that he be- lteved that the courts would uphold policy Member Aulds sald: and I do not see how Let them go ahead the law was enactes we can get out of it. and enjoln us, |a tocus Member Brandes sald: “For one I do not want to pay the 50 per cent and we will not if we can get out of it anyway, that's sure.” | As the matter was not brought up until Just as the board was thinking of adjourn- ing for the day, no actlon was taken ard further consideration was postponed un- til today. County Attorney Klillpack submlitted his opinfons as requested in the matter of Road Supervisor Cook of Garner township, who at the last sesslon was reported to have refused to keep in repair county roads on which work had been done by the board His opinion is to the effect that a road supervisor 1s under the same obligation under the law to keep in passable condition a road on which the county authorities have done work as one on which such work has not been done. As far as Road Super- visor Cook s concerned, he has set himselt right with the baard and has explained that he was misrepresented, but a long in- formal discussion among the members of the board developed the fact that In sev- eral parts of the county the township road supervisors are up in arms against the board doing the work on the county roads. These township supervisors Insist that if any money {8 to be spent on roads in thelr respective districts they are the proper persons to expend the money and have the work done under thelr superintendence, The consensus of opinion of the members of the board was it should test its rights and powers In this matter with a view to enforcing them despite the opposition of the township supervisors. No actlon was taken, as the discussion was only an in- formal one. The county auditor was Instructed to transfer $3,000 from the county fund to the poor fund, the latter being exhausted Levl A.

The lot had been included In the delinguent tax list. The request of Mayor Barton of Avoca that the board rent a telephone from the Harlan and Avoca Tel- egraph and Telephono company instead of the Nebratka Telephone company was turned down. In the morning the board Inspected the proposed county road from Mynster Springs to the Tllinois Central tracks, but decided it could do nothing in the matter until the consent of all the Interested property owners had been secured.

The friends of George B. Stewart of Fort Madison are urging his appointment as United States attorney, to succeed Lewis Miles, in the southern district. Stewart Is at present assistant under Miles, It {8 learned that the American Tobacco company has determined upon sending the general counsel of the company here to look into the Towa tax on cigarettes with a view of bringing suit to test the consti- tutionality of the law. The assessors of the #tate are assessing the tax for the current quarter or for the month. If they can do 80 at all they can make the clgarette deal- ers pay for the entire two and a half years the law has been in force fn Towa and this would mean an expense of probably $500,- 000 to the trust. In view of the mag- nitude of the sum involved there is nothing left for the Tobacco company but to fight the law to a finish. Hence the general counsel will come to Des Moines soon and take charge of the case. Another DI pearance. John Johnson of Alta, Buena Visia county, {s searching for John Christiansen, & middle-aged farmer who made his home with his sister in Buena Vista county and mysteriously disappeared on the night of October 31 last. He was slightly unbal- anced mentally and had about $400 when he left. No trace of him has been found since that date. Nothing new has devel- oped in the case of the mysterious disap- pearance of Mrs. E. J. Nixon, who left the home of her son in Manchester in July last to go to the home of another son in At- lantle, and disappeared, except the discov- ery that a woman answering her description spent two days in West Liberty about that time and took the train east. Her children now believe she became suddenly i1l or de- ranged and that she will be found allve. She was possessed of considerable means. The latest scheme credited to the Rock Tsland railroad is a new through passenger servico between Kansas City and Sioux Falls via Des Moines. The train would run over the Burlington, Cedar Raplds & North- ern out of Sloux Falls to Sibley, thence over the mew line to Gowrle, on to Des Moines and to Eldon, and to Kansas City over the southwestern division of the Rock Island. This would not be a very direct route betweer the two points, but it is the only way the Rock Island at present could do ‘the business. A party of Rock Island officlals are today inspécting the new Sib- ley line, the party. consisting of General Superintendent A. J. Hitt, W. M. Hobbs, superintendent of lines east of the Missour!; Superintendent Gilmore of the Fort Dodge division; Carroll Wright, attorney for Towa, and Robert Mather, second vice president. Suspending Sentences Des Moines also has & case of the police judge suspending the sentences imposed by himselt which may be investigated. City Solicitor Chamberlaln this morning, after reading of the Omaha case in which Judge rdon was removed, declared his bellet that Judge Silvara, the police judge ot Des Moines, has not the authority to suspend sentences «nd that in o doing he excee his authority. The practice has been com mon here for many years and Judge Sil- vara has followed the custom, which, 1t is claimed, s a matter of economy to the city and necessary to the regulation of tho af- fairs of the court. Frank Short, a merchant taflor, left mys- teriously Iast Sunday and has not been heard from since. He left many debts here Short claims that two weeks ago he went to Council Bluffs and was married, and also stated that he married an Omaha woman about that time. He commenced selling oft Y, OVEMBER 28, 1900. The new fleld Is one of the richest in Towa. The vein is over six feet thick and will be unusually easy to mine. The majority of the new citizens of the town come from Muchakinock.

GRINNELL, Ia., Nov (Spectal Tele- gram.)—A mass meeting of the students of Towa colllege was held last evening to con- sider the advisability of abolishing the “henor system' of student control of ex- aminations which has been in vogue here for some time. The matter of honesty In examinations was placed entirely in the hards of the students. A student council was organized to act upon all cases of cheating reported to them by the students Since then the system has fallen into dis- favor because of the tentative refusal on the part of the students to report any fel- low students to the council and the gen- eral feeling of the student body seems to be against tho systems of unusual interdst to college circles as a test of the policy of “student control,” which Is frequently agitated and which has been adopted in a few institutions. RATHERDEAD THANDEFORMED pple for ing | to Suicide, ORINNELL, Ia., Nov. 27.—(Special Tele- gram)—John E. Keating of Des Moines committed sulcide {n the Downing hotel at Oskaloosa by shooting himself with a re- volver. He was a brother of Captain W. E. Keatlng of Oskaloosa. He arrived in Oska- loosa In the evening, but did not retire un- til & late hour. He had not been in his room long when the shot was heard. The employes rushed In, but Keating was ly- ing dead with a bullet through his brain. He left a note addressed to his brother asking the forgiveness of his relatives and saying that the deed was prompted by his fear of becoming a lite cripple. An accident received about a year ago had crippled his foot and the Injury had not healed. Noth- ing about his actions previous to retiring had indicated that he contemplated self- murder. Aged Onawa Woman Missing. ONAWA, Ia, Nov. 27.—(Special.)—Mrs. E. J. Nixon has mysteriously disappeared and all efforts to trace her have so far been in vain. She was supposed to be visiting at her daughter's and left Man- chester, la., for Cedar Rapids and from there went to Sioux City, where she bought a ticket for Atlantic, where she expected to visit friends. This was on July 5 last. She did not arrive at her destination and her whereabouts is entirely unknown at present. Her absence has just been dis- covered, each daughter thinking she was with other members of the family. She is of medium height, rather slender, dressed in black and 78 years of age. She had about $50 in her purse when she started on her journey. Her son, Arthur Nixon, bas been trying very hard to find some trace of his mother, but without success. Clgarette Dealers Must Pay.

THREE FATALITIES OCCUR AT PITTSBURG November Floods Common, but Sel- dom Heanch the Volume of the Present One—~Waters Now on a Stand, PITTSBURG, Nov. 27.--After three days of fncessant rain, a flood uuprecedented for this season of the year and quite unexpected In Its fury swept down the Monongahela and Allegheny rivers last night. In their wad rush the waters ruined bundreds of thousands of doliars worth of property, caused the loss of at least three lives, tom- porarily threw out of employment thou- sands of workuien by the forced suspension of the many industrial establishments lin- Ing tho bauks of both streams, and ren- dered hundreds of families homeless. he fatalities are FREDERICK KOPPMAN, aged 66 years, tripped and fell, breaking his neck, while removing goods from his home. JOSEPH DAVIS, mili worker, drowned. JOSEPH LOC mill worker, drowned by the capsizing of a skiff in the Allegheny. A November flood 1s quite common, but it rarely reaches the danger line, and for this reason the steady rains of the past fow days caused no alarm. The precipita tion had been heavier than usual in the mountains at the head waters of both rivers, however, and it was not .ntil inte yesterday that the warning was sent out that both streams were getting beyond their banks and that there was a dangerous flood threatened. The result was the fast ris- ing waters caught many wholly unprepared and much valuable property that was tied away. The danger line is twenty-four feet and this was passed about 3 o'clock this morning, and for seven hours, at 11 a. m. the marks at Davis island dam reglstered twenty-five feet and seven inches, Both rivers are now stationary and it is thought that the worst is over and before nightfall the waters will be receding. The lowlands in Pittsburg, Allegheny, South | Sharpsburg and McKeesport are inundated | and nearly every plant on the two rivers has been forced to ehut down. Hundreds of families in these districts have elther been driven from thelr homes or are living in the upper floors and using skiffs. There were many narrow escapes from drowning during the night and several men are re- ported to the police as missing, but only ihreo fatalities are known. Davis and Flocker with three compan- fons attempted to row across tho Allegheny in a skiff, which became unmanageable and collided with a coal boat. The men were thrown finto the river and Davis and Flocker drowned. The others clung to the upturned boat and wero rescued after being carried two miles down the river. At Neville island the four-span rallroad bridge in course of construction was swept away during the night. It was belng erected for the American Steel & Wire com- pany and was also used for passenger traffic by the Pittsburg & Lake Erle Railroad com- pany. To Save Thelr Farms. ONAWA, Ia, Nov. 27.—(Special.)—The Missourl river has been encroaching on farms and washing away banks to such a serious extent at a point three miles south- west of here that the farmers there have organized for protection and are sinking cribs, measuring thirty feet in, length and ten feet in height, made of a solid frame bound round with willows. They put down three last October and they have proved 80 effective that many others will be put down this winter through the ice.
