Legal Stipulation is Filed bj th Htlri of

PURPOSE TO AVOID UNNECESSARY COSTS
Complete Incinlry Is Sough! n to All

Kstoppel In the Dank
Case.
Tho conference Inst week between Judge,
Thornell of thn district court nnd h number
of attorneys representing creditors of the
Officer & Piuey bank has resulted In tho
heirs of Thomas Officer filing a stipulation
yesterday, In which they agree to the ap
pointment of n special administrator. A
number of the bank's creditors wished to
bring suit to sot nsldo deeds executed Jiy
Thomas Officer and W. II. M. 1'usey during
their lifetime, conveying property to tho
various members of their families, and the
conference wns held for tho purpose of
discusilng tho method of procedure to bo
followed In tho event It was found neces
sary to tiring such suits.
The stipulation Is signed by Mrs. Kliza
licth 0 llker, widow ot Thomas OMccr, and
his three children, Charles T. Officer, WIN
lam P. Officer and Julta K. Officer. They
make tho stipulation for tho expressed pur
pose of avoiding unnecessary coits and
litigation and to provide for complete In
quiry as to all assests and property of tho
estate of Thomas Officer.
Authority to In vrxtlKnte.
It provldcn ''That tho court may appoint
nomo proper, suitable uud discreet person,
as special administrator ot the cstnto of
Thomas Ofllcer, deceased, with authority
to makn Investigation ' as to any alleged
or pretended claims or causes ot action
against nny ot the parties hereto, or any
properly, assets of tho estate ot Thomas
Officer, which it is or may bo claimed that
any of tho parties hereto wrongfully bold;
and with furthor authority under tho direc
tion, nnd with tho approval of the court,
to Instltuto any action or actions against
the parties hereto, or nny of them, for the
rrcovery of ary claims which it may be
thought tho estate of Thomas Officer may
hold rgalnst them, or nny nssots of said
estato which it may bo claimed they hold."
The stipulation further provides that It
shall operato as an estoppel against all
tho parties to tho action of C. T. Officer,
administrator, against Officer & Puscy from
objecting to tho authority of the special ad
ministrator to bring suit "with all the right,
power and authority, but no more than tho
general administrator would have." Charles
T. Officer, as administrator of tho estate
of Thomas Officer, deceased, consents to
this.
Julia K. Officer on her part specially
stipulates and agrees that for a period ot
120 days from and after the dato ot this
stipulation to make no disposal ot the cer
tain shares In tho Kmpklo Shugart com
pany, owned by her and standing in her
name, but which are now in the possession
if Receivers Hercshelm and Murphy, ns
ollntcral security to her Indebtedness to
u firm ot Officer &. Pusey.
Juipnrttallt y I oaicltt.
The Intent and purposo ot the stipula
tion, It Is set forth, is, to avoid all ques
tion oh to tho right to appoint a spoclal
administrator for tho purpose therein set
out, to the end that there may be un im
partial investigation of nny claims made
or suggested ngalnst the parties thereto
and to cnablo suit to bo brought thereon
It the same shill bo deemed advisable for
tho best Interests of tho estate nnd to
avoid a multiplicity ot suits, unnecessary
costs ngalnst tho estate, the Institution ot
Improvident litigation nnd to Insure that
nothing will be dono to Impair nny right
which the estato may have.
The stipulation also provides that it is
to bo in no manner construed as an ndmls-
slon that uny causo of action exists against
nil, or any of the parties thereto, tho same
being expressly denied by them.
J. T. Oliver and S. O. Underwood, ad
ministrators of tho estata of tho late Cap
tain Daniel Richer, filed notice of appeal
to tho supreme court yesterday from the
ruling of Judge Thornell, denying prefer
ence to their elnlm against tho Offlcor &
Puscy bank. Their claim for pruferenco
wns disallowed on the grounds held by
tho court that the administrators hnd de
posited tho moneys of tho estate in open
account, subject to chock, mid had not ex
ceeded their authority In so doing and
Biich deposits simply established tho rela
tions of creditor and debtor.

license to haul garbage and requires that
all refuse and garbage shall bo deposited
in tho dumping ground designated by tho
city scavenger. It gives the right to any
person to haul retttso from his own prem
ises nnd compost or mntcrlal to bo used as
a fertilizer.
City Solicitor Wadsworth, In explaining
the new provisions of the ordinance, stated
that ho had been Informed that ono of tho
persons who had n bid before the council
for the city scavenging intended to erect
n plant to take care of nil tho city rctus,
out of which he intended to manufacturo a
fertilizer. The bids were not opened, but
laid over for another week, as some of the
aldermen thought the ordinance ought to
bo disposed of beforo tho contract for tho
city scavenging Is lot. Alderman Boycr ob

new ordinance on tho grounds that it would
give the city scavenger a monopoly. Al

In favor of establishing a city dumping

DBS MOINES, March 4.-(Spcclnl. Not
withstanding that today Is the day fixed by
etatuto of the State Executive Council to
meet and orgnnlze ns a board of assess
ment for tho property of the railroad
and explcss companies doing business In
Iowa many of tho reports from compa
nies nro not yet in the hands ot tho coun
cil. One reason, It Is believed, Is that an
nouncement was mndo some dnys ago that
there would bo postponement of action, nnd
tho companies do not want their reports
to be placed in tho hands of tho routnll
any earlier than necessary. The council
has provided that clerks shiill go through
the reports and mako abstracts of tho
statistics nnd prepare comparative tnbles
thnt will be very useful to tho board In
making the assessments.
The hoard met today and took n recess
until tho 15th owing to tho absence of a
quorum. Somo new reports wcro received
today, the most Important being thnt of the
Milwaukee railroad. Tho Milwaukee re

penses, $7,693,181.08; net eatnlngs In lown
alone, $3,74,453.G9. The company paid taxes
last year to tho amount of $255,351.12. The

tract to tako prisoners from another state

oral for decision. Attorney Gcncrul Mul
Ian was out of tho city, but Assistant At
torney General Van Vleck decided tho case
and gave tho hoard a wrlf'n opinion that
It Iibb tho power to mako such ii contract
and to accept prisoners from another state.
Tho warden at Anamosa reported that
about 200 moro prisoners could bo taken
thero without Injury to the discipline of tho
prison, although It will bo necessary to
Increase tho guard force. The warden nt

will be ndhered to. The miners demand

Gcorgo E. Morso of Iowa county a few
years ago went Into tho business of raising
Dyspepsia d3ug
It Is unreasonable to expect i crsons to regain health and
etrenRth by living upon balf rat ons. For that reason, If
vto are to euro dyspepsia, wo must do It some other way
besides starvation. Wo must cat plenty of gnoA food nnd
digest It by using a preparation that will perform that work for
tho stomach. Konoi. Dyspepsia Cuuk Is such a preparation. It
digests what you eat and supples tho substances needed to build
up the worn out digestive organs.
Trof. J. lvlson, of Lonaconlng, Md., says: "Tor thirteen
years I suffered agony from dyspepsia and neuralgia of tho
stomach. I tried almost everything and doctor. drugged mo
nearly to death with morphlno, but temporary relief was all I
could obtain till I was advised to use Kodol Dyspepsia Cube.
Tho first dose gave mo rellof. I bought my first bottle In
March, 1000, and I havo not had a elnglc pain sluce. It has
completely cured inc. I cannot endorse, it too highly."

Jfar Sits.- I feel it is my duty to write you and let you know how mnch good
your medicine has done for me. Twenty three years aRo I was taken with soma kind
ui aiuiuoiu iiuuuic, aim i uociorea wun our
best doctors and they did me but little good.
Then three years ago the change of life set
in on me and neuralgia, and I not so poor
and woak I could hardly walk, couldn't work
any. My husband received a small book
through the mail, advertising your medicine.
Me sent our little boy to tho drug store and
got one of your small ten-cent bottles, I
began to use it It is strange to say, but it is
the truth, that the second dose I took gave mo
lots of relief. I kept on using it until I used
It nearly a year. Now I am nearly as strong
as I used to be, and can do any kind of work
1 want to. I recommend it to all. It seems
to me it would cure anybody. I have got ,zLp?&bi,.zJz
