to keep the shops open until midnight

James T. Hart Dies Suddenly.
James T. Hart, formerly of this city, died
yesterday afternoon In Denver, Colo., after
a few days' Illness. He was 63 years of
age and his widow, two sons and two
daughters survive him. His death was un
expected and the fact that he had been seii
ouBly ill was not known here. The an
nouncement of death was contained In a
telegram to William Moore, of the Peregoy
A Moore company, last evening.
Mr. Hart, after a residence In Council
Bluffs of over twenty-five years, removed
to Colorado about ten years ago. He was
largely Interested In mining and at the time
of his death had a lease for ten years of the
Thomas Officer mines. Mr. Hart had been
to New York to organize a syndicate to
erect mills and work the Officer mines, and
It Is said that his mission was successful.
On his return to Denver a few days ago he
became suddenly 111 and his sickness was of
such a grave character that no on was
permitted to see him.
Dividend to Officer Posey Creditors.
J. J. Stewart, administrator of the estate
of Thomas Officer, has commenced the pay
ment of a 2H per cent dividend to th cred
itor of the Officer & Pusey bank. With
th 6 per cent dividend paid last year by
Administrator Stewart this payment makes
a total of 7V per cent that the defunct
bank's creditors have received from the es
tate of the senior partner.
The dividend now being paid out will,
Administrator Stewart states, practically
exhaust th assets of the Officer estate
with the exception of the mines In Colorado,
th value of which is wholly problematical.
Receivers Bereshelm and Murphy, of the
Officer & Pusey bank, have up to date paid
three dividends' aggregating 60 per cent.
Several months ago they stated that they
expected to pay another dividend of 6 per
cent and the creditors have been anxiously
waiting for some sign of the money.

Decline to Fix aa "Iowa Day."
The Iowa commission on the Louisiana

upon an "Iowa day" at the exposition at

matter has been taken up with the St.
Louis commission, which has been given
assurance by the railroads that the rates
will be given. The date fixed upon Is the
one on which white men first saw Iowa.
It has been definitely decided that there
shall be no effort to produce the Floyd
monument on the St. Louis exposition
grounds. There Is not room for It near the
Iowa building as planned. The news from
the monument Is that a local movement
has already been started to have It re
paired. He Wanted a Honsekeeper.

his advertisement. He went to a widow
living on Seventh street, who had answered
the notice. He stated his name was Ben
jamin Eastman, that he lived In Sioux City,
was wealthy and a part owner in the street
railway system there; that he was a rela
tive of Thomas Lowery of St. Paul, had a
fine home In Sioux City and another in
California, and said that If the widow
would go to Sioux City to become his
