CKEDITOn MAK1AU COMPLAINTS.
Think Officer A Pnae Hank. Affairs
Should ne Mettled.
Creditors of the defunct Officer & Pusey
bank are beginning to complain of what
they clatm to be the Inactivity of the re
ceivers In winding up the business of the
bank and cfeclaring the final dividend. Sev
eral months ago the receivers announced
that nnother dividend would soon bo forth
coming, but the creditors have been pa
tiently awaiting Its appearance and now it
is reported that the expense of the receiver
ship and other Incidentals connected with
the winding up of the affairs of the bank
will practically absorb ell of the remaining
assets.
John Bereshelm and Txiuls V. Murphy
were appointed receivers of the defunct
bank in September, lnno. three and a half
years ago. and nt that time It was believed
that the affairs of the bank could be wound
tip In not to exceed two years. Torethcr
with the dividend paid by Administrator
Stewart of the Thomas Officer estate, the
creditors of the bank have received up
to date but 55 cents on the dollar, although
when the receivers were appointed it was
stated that the assets would pay at le.ist
80 and probably 90 cents on the dollar.
It was stated yesterday that a number
of creditor.? who bad become dlss.tt'slled
with the alleged tardiness displayed by th
receivers In winding up the affairs of the
bank were planning to bring tho mailer
before the attention of the court with a
view to have a final accounting made.
Receiver Murphy made the statement
several months ago that a dividend of prob
ably 5 per cent would be paid soon, but
when asked recently why the dividend had
not been forthcoming, he said considerable
difficulty had been experienced in realis
ing on the remainder of the assets and he
could not now say when another dividend
would be paid, If any was paid.
Recent suits brought in the district court
against persons who were indebted to the
bank at the time of Its failure have dis
closed the fact that these accounts have
been turned over by the receivers for col
lection to other parties on a commission of
50 per cent of the amount they might hap
pen to collect. Creditors who have become
acquainted with these facts take exception
to this course and contend that the re
ceivers could have instituted these suits
themselves and thus save the 50 per cent
commission.

DES MOINES, March 24.-(Special.)-Tlie
Boone county republican convention was
held today.. Uke the conventions In Pnllas
and Guthrie counties, which were held last
week, it was conservative and took action
looking toward avoid.ince of factional mat
ters In the state by strong Indorsement of
the platforms of the party nnd selection of
a delegation to the state convention to
work for a platform that will be substanti
ally like that of the piirty nt the rrcfcnt
time. Tii convention strongly endorsed
President Roosevelt and his administration.
Governor A. B. Cummins nnd his leader
ship In Iowa and Indorsed for rcnominntlon
to congress Judge J. p. Conner of Pcnlson.
The delegation will also favor Senator
Wlnne nnd Representative Head as dele
gates to the national convention from the
Tenth district. The resolutions ndopted de
clare for protection, for sound money, for
the maintenance of law nnd order and for
a foreign policy that Insures thq respect of
all nations things which are declared to
have made the republican party the party
of the people. In regard to Governor A. H.
Cummins, his administration was com
mended and Indorsed and It was declun d
that "his conscientious devotion to prim-),
pie. his fidelity to duty and his sterling in
tegrity nil contribute to make him u
prominent figure in the alTalrs of the titatc,
nnd we favor his election as dclcguto-at-large
to the national convention." There
was no division In the convention find per
fect harmony prevailed.
To Appropriate Two Millions.
The present plans of tho legislators is to
make appropriations aggregating about
$2,000,000 for the biennial period." The ap
propriations already authorised and those
approved In committees will nggregate
about this much, but nn effort is being
made to keep it down below this sum. The
appropriations now made are said to
amount to about $400,000, nnd the state In
stitutions of charitable nnd penal character
will get about $650,000. The appropriations
with reference to the state educational af
fairs will be made regardless of the pros
pect for the Board of Educational mana
gers. The largest amount will go to the
college at Ames. While the inlllage tax
proposition has not yet been passed on
favorably, it Is regarded as probable It
will be favored In case the board Is treated.
Committee Waa Pleased.
Members of the legislature believe that
the plan of having a visiting committee
go to the School for the Deaf at Council
Bluffs was a wise one and It will simplify
matters very much. The members of tho

school and especially with the fact that
there Is an ab. .dance of good water and
because of the healthful location und plenty
of room. Members say that they vere well

Ject. The committee will not report until
next week.

who have boon cured through the use of Lydia H. IMnkliam'i Vegetable
Compound, and w ho can to-day thank you for the fine health I enjoy. When
I was thirty-live years old. I suffered severe backache and frequent "bearing--down
pains; in fact, I had womb trouble. I was very anxious to pet well,
nd reading1 of the cures your Compound had made, I decided to try it. I took
only six bottles, but, it built me up nnd cured me eutirely of all my i roubles.
" My family and relatives were naturally as gratified as I waa. My niece
had heart trouble and nervous prostration, and wns considered incurable.
6he took your Vegetable Compound and It cured her in a short time, and she.
became well and strong-, and her home to her prcat joy and her husband's
delight was blessed with a baby. I know of a number of others who have
been cured of different kinds of female trouble, and am satisfied that your
Compound is the best uWicinefor sick women.' Mbs. Elizabeth II. Thompson,
Box 105, I-illydale, N. V.
