Ofcer Estate A thing to Thi rop- \ y Ca When will Receivers Beresheim and Mur- piny of the Ofcer & Pusey bank pay an- other dividend? is the question which is agitating the minds of the several hundred creditors of the defunct banking insthu- tion. Many of the creditors are of the opinion that the affairs of the receivership #hould be closed up and the receivers dis- charged. Some months ago there was talk of the receivers having sufficient funds to | pay another dividend of 5 per cent, but no | move in this direction has been made and a large number of the creditors are com- plaining of what they allege to be the dila- | tory methods of the receivers. It was stated yesterday by one of the heaviest creditors of the defunct banking firm that | an application would be made to the court | to close up the receivership and to order a dividend of 5 per cent. This, it is said, will be the last dividend that the creditors will receive from the assets of thé bank J. J. Stewart, adwninistraior of the es- tate of Thomas Officer, the senlor member of the firm, has been using every effort to dispose of the mining property left by Mr. | Officer, but so tar has failed to receivg any offer near what the property is considered to be worth. The Persy-Chester mine, | which Is being operated at present under a bond and lease held by J. T. Hart and others, has been offédred by Administrator | Stewart for sale at $100,000. The best offer | he has received is $30,000, the bid made | by the parties now working the mine. In| the event of the mining property being sold for anything near $100,000 the creditors of | the bank will receive another dividend of | from 10 to 15 per cent, but assthings stand at present it does not look as If they will | recelve more than another yossible b per | cent. | N.

ISURVEYORS——ARE IN THE FIELD 1 Has Plans for Two Bits of Road Near Cedar Falls. nois Ce: Short CEDAR FALLS, Ja., Jan. 31.—(Special.} —The surveyors for the Illinois Central raflroad today began to lay out the route which will change the Albert Lea branch of the road, making this city the terminus instead of Mona Junction, one mile from this city. The original articles of incor- poration made this necessary, but the owners of land along the route asked ex- orbitant prices and the company shied off a mile from the city. One of the officlals of the road said while here that the work would be completed during the summer. In addition to this the surveyors ha laid out the route for the New Hartford- Cedar Falls line, which will be built to avoid the steep hill west of the city. The two lines when completed will have cost the company $500,000, and will add greatly to the freight and passenger service of this elty.

About 168 miners went on a strike Friday noon at the Gibson coal mine near Altoona. They are still out and will probably so re- main for several days. The cause of the trouble is said to be that the mine boss, Mr. Gibson, refused to permit a young man named Smith to work in a room by himself. He sald he considered Smith too inexperi- enced and incompetent to have the respon- | sibility of a room. The pit committee of ‘the miners insisted, and when Gibson re- | fused they ordered the men to quit work, | as they alleged it was a case of unjust and prejudiced discrimination.
