A receiver has been appointed for
the lowa Savings Hank of Sioux City.
The bank was the oldest savings bank
in the city, having been organized in
1883, with D. T. Hedges, one of the
big boomers, as its president, and L.
W. Winn as cashier. When the Union
Loan and Trust Company failed, there
were runs on both the Sioux National
and lowa Savings, and it was with
some difficulty that they were saved.
Some weeks ago the Sioux National
gave up and this affected the lowa
Savings also. During the campaign
withdrawal of deposits was steady,
and the lnnk was left pructi tally
without ready cash. Mr. Manley, of
the Security National, has been placed
in charge as receiver. F. B. Hutchins,
cashier, says the depositors will be
paid in full, and there will be a sur
plus for stockholders.

Mrs. G. J. BuchmTTOis dangerously
ill at her home in Sioux City as a result
of a fall from a bicycle a few days ago.
The accident was caused by a collision
with a dog. Mrs. Buchanan was not

It has developed, however, that her
tpine was affected, and that she has
severe internal injuries. Her case is
critical.
John Coliis has applied to the
district court of Polk county for a
new trial in the case of Elmer
Cox against himself to recover dam
ages for alienating the affections of
his wife. The first trial resulted in a

marriage with Elmer Cox and Coliis
claims the suit was brought for black
mail.
A dredge and drill boat is at work at
the rapids near Davenport, working
in solid rock river bottom, initsefforts
to deepen Rock Island harbor. The
use of explosives is resorted to very
often in the efforts to stir up the
sheets of water and make up the riv
er's bed afresh. In these days of low
water it takes fine work sometimes to
get near enough to land to drop the
end of a long gang plank ou dry
ground, which is the reason heavy
work of this kind is being done.
Two btrangers went into a dive in
Oswalt, a deserted raining t-own two
miles northwest ot Colfax, and began
drinking beer. They soon became
quarrelsome and one of t hem attacked
the other, who pulled a 44-caliber
revolver and shot his companion in the
bowels. Nothing is known as to the
identity of the murderer or the
wounded man, who will certainly die.
The man who did the shooting escaped
and is still at large, and the other is
unconscious and has been ever since
he was wounded, so that nothing can
be learned in regard to either of them.
Early during the month of A ugust
last the Des Moines city council, fol
lowing a long discussion of the sub
ject, adopted a resolution directing the
mayor to enter into correspondence
with the mayors and officials of other
cities and manufacturers of electrical
supplies, for the purpose of securing
data upon which to buse estimates for
the construction of a plant to be built
and operated by the city. |The mayor
lias submitted his report on the import
ant subject, together with the exten
sive correspondence received by him
since he began the work. The mayor
is of the opinion that it would lie prof
itable for the city to build and own
the works.
It will only be the question of a few
years, says the Des Moines Register,
before voting machines will be used in
lowa. When that time comes the
returns from an election can all be
accurately compiled within two or
three hours after the polls have closed
and the exact majorities and plural
ities of the winning ticket known. A
voting machine was exhibited before
the lowa legislature during the session
last winter and it created much favor
able comment. The machine then
had not demonstrated that it was
thoroughly practical, but since that
time it has done excellent work. The
state constitution will have to be
changed slightly, but the time is not
far distant when that will be done and
the machine will come into general use
>n the state. A machine very similar
to the one exhibited before the lowa
legislature last winter was used in the
election at Worcester, Massachusetts,
on Tuesday, with unqualified success
and the complete returns from the
election in that city were ail tabulated
and complete before midnight.
llarrv Mewhirter, a druggist and
prominent citizen of Larrabce, is lying
at death's door with a bullet lodged
in his laxly just under the left nipple,
and near the heart. Uev. E. L. Bene
dict fired the shot that will probably
end the young man’s earthly career.
Recently llev. Mr. Benedict got out a
search warrant and had Mewhirter’s
drug store searched for liquors. This
enraged the druggist, and ou the day
of the tragedy he followed the minister
into the Larrabce Review office. The
minister extended his hand to
Mewhirter with peaceful intent. The
enraged druggist at the same time
dealt Benedict a severe blow on the
head with his fist. The Review man
interfered and the men parted for tin*,
time being. Later, as Benedict was
passing the drug store on his way to
the postoffice, Mewhirter and a man
named Burke jumped upon him and a
tussel followed. The minister suc
ceeded m freeing himself and drawing
a revolver shot Mewhirter, who fell to
the ground. He regained his feet,
however, and walked to the doctor’s
office. The physician has but little
hopes for his recovery. Sheriff
\Vheeler was telegraphed at Cherokee
and the minister was taken into
custody. The principals are both
leading citizens of Cherokee county
and the tragedy has created wide
spread sensation.

FORECAST ON THE SENATE.
Massachusetts Mem Iter's Views on the Fu
ture Standing of Free Silver.
Worcester, Mass., Nov. 10.—Sena
tor George Frisbie Hoar, in a letter to
the Gazette, forecasts the complexion
of the next United States senate. In
the main he says: “After March 4th
there will be eighty-eight senators and
two vacancies, from Delaware and
Kentucky. The eighty-eight senators
will be divided as follows: Republicans
opposed to the free coinage of silver
ami in favor of the republican tariff
policy, 33; republicans whose opinions
ure not yet known (the senators from
the Dakotas), 2; democrats opposed to
the free coinage of silver *4. Republi
cans in favor of free coinage of silver,
desiring tosupport generally the finan
cial policy of the party, and in favor
of protection, 8; democratic and popu
list si) verites, 41. Of the latter it is
to be hoped that some who were elect
ed as republicans will act with their
associates in matters other than free
coinage. It is also to be hoped that
Mr. Murphy, of New York and Mr.
Mitchell of Wisconsin may act in ac
cordance with the sentiments of their
states, especially if their should be an
nttempt to unite the two wings of the
democratic party. So out of eighty
eight senators there are thirty-seven
who may* be depended upon to oppose
the free coinage of silver, and there
are forty-one who can be depended
upon to support the general principles
of the republican party iu regard P’
protection.”

* HIS lesson is an in
*3 vltatlon to walk in
//I the ways of heaven
/A.\ ly wisdom. As in
chapter 8. so here
wisdom stands by

fri i'li*..,, the puths. ami on
' (jjfi the high places
A where she ran be
calls to men to hear
her v °i ce inviting
them to her House
Beautiful.
The way to the heavenly life on earth
Is shown to men. The City of God is not
In heaven alone, but comes down from
God out of heaven, uud is among men.
The steps to this blessed life are set forth
in all their uttractiveness. The appeal
is to all that Is highest, noblest, and best
In men.
Today’s lesson includes verses 1 to 17,
chapter 3, Book of Proverbs. With ex
planatory notes the lesson follows:
1. "My son.” The older and wiser man
addresses the younger, not as a master or
tyrant, but as a father and friend, desir
ing his pupil’s good. It Implies also that
the one addressed Is acting like a soil.
"Forget not my law.” We forget that
to which we do not pay earnest attention.
T herefore. It is our duty and our wisdom
to (1) read the whole law of God; <2l to
study it earnestly and thorough y; (S) to
use It as a guide to our dully lives. “Let
heart keep my commandments.”
there is no true, no lasting obedience
that does not come from tho heart, the
fountain ol life. Mere outward obedience
is not acceptable. Who would accept from
a son or daughter, from husband or wife,
a mere outward righteousness that did
not flow from love?
2. "For length of days and years of life
and peace.” Long life Is of little use un
less it be accompanied by peace and pros
perity, which the word also means. (1)
I ills Is a statement of a general principle
that keeping God’s commandments tends
to length of life, "by preserving the con
stitution sound and healthy.”
3. "Mercy" toward the sinning and to
ward the suffering. “And truth,” sineer-
Pare, upright dealings in all things,
chose are mentioned as duties toward our
fellow men which are apt to be neglected.
‘Bind them about thy neck,” as costly
ornaments, carefully guarded from loss,
always in sight, something to delight in.
3 hey are Indeed the graces and the
beauty of men, as well os their duty.
"Write them on the table (tablet) of thine
heart." As the ten commandments upon
the tablets of stone, never to be effaced,
f; .‘Favour and good understanding.”
"The reward or fruit of adopting the
course recommended, and exhibiting the
virtues spoken of in the preceding verse,
is here subjoined. This Is twofold: us it
regards others, both God and man, favor;
as it regards the possessor, good success,
prosperity.
7. "Wise In thine own eyes,” I. e., In
thine own opinion or conceit. Be not
puffed up with a vain conceit of thine
own imfoirtunce, thy knowledge, thy su
perior wisdom. "Fear the Lord.” Not
to he afraid of, but reverence, stand in
awe of his greatness, and wisdom, and
goodness, so that we shall trust our all
to him. "And depart from evil.” The
natural consequence of fearing the Lord.
8. "It shall he health to thy navel," the
muscles of the body, und marrow, or
moisture, "to thy bones." The marrow
was supposed to keep the bones In a
healthy state. !l. “Honor the Lord witli
thy suhstanc",’’ your capital, the property
you possess.
10. "So shall thy barns be tilled with
plenty.” Compare the promise In Ma
iachi 3: 10. “Fats shall overflow out.”
Overflow with the crop of grapes it is too
small to contain. Or it may refer to the
hissing and bursting of the new grapes.
11. "Despise not (shrink not from) the
chastening.” Discipline, schooling. In
struction by punishment. Delltzsch trans
lutes, "The school of Jehovah.” “Neither
be weary”; i. e.. do not loathe, abhor, feel
disgust nor vexation towards. The word
certainly denotes loathing or nausea. "Of
his reproof,” or correction by means of
reproof. "Those who are determined to
do wrong loathe all reproof that would
turn them from it.”
12. "For whom the Lord loveth he re-,
proveth.” Caro, burdens, losses, sickness,
troubles are no necessary proof that we
are worse than other men, as we have
seen In Job, but are the fatherly disci
pline of one who loves us with all his
heart, hut loves us too well to let us go
>n In the wrong.
13. “Happy Is the man.’’ The
word for "happy” Is plural In
the original. The plural form ex
presses the manifold nature of the
blessedness of the wise man. He Is
blessed In every way. at all times, from
all sources, In all departments of his life,
in all circumstances. He is blessed In
body and in soul; In time and in eternity.
—P. "That flndeth (lias found, and holds
possession of) wisdom.” After a long
and arduous search, as for hid treasures.
Often there Is fur more gained ill the act
of searching than In invro possession.
This is true of utmost all good things.
Kusselas was discontented In the Happy
Valley, and so were all the dwellers
there; und he was willing to tunnel his
way out with lnrhiite labor rather than
dwell amid Its perfections.
11. “The merchandise of It.” It must
be gained by labor and cost, as earthly
treasures are. It Is impossible to impart
character or wisdom by direct gift. Them
is a continual traffic in wisdom, using
what one has in gaining more. Compare
Christ’s parables of the hid treasure and
ihe pearl of great price (Matt. 13: 44-40).
10. “She is more precious than rubies."
or pearls, as some translate the word,
which probably Includes all precious
stones. "The things thou eanst desire."
All pleasures, all delights, all the treus
uns of wealth, all that men give up
their lives to obtain. Wisdom Is us far
above all these as the sun and stars
above the street lump.
Pi. “Length of days,” a long and happy,
useful life, even life forever more. See
on verse 3. "In her right hand,” as tho
best of these gifts. "In her left hand.”
Ah not so vuluablo us long life. “Are
riches”; that is, all the good things that
riches can bring.
17. "Her ways ure ways of pleasant
ness”; 1. e.. ways in wjih-h one obtains
what Is agreeable to the inner and tho
outer man, and which it does good to en
joy.—Delltzsch. Tho very acts of religion
aro iu themselves ploasunt.
