IOWA FALLS The appearance of over o dozen Candidates for the republican nomination for sheriff In Grundy county at the coming county primary has re sulted 'In the advancement of a new theory from a would-be candidate that promises to have a tendency to weed out some of the aspirants.

The office Is the best paying one In th" county and commands a compensation cf $2,000 a year. It Is proposed to test the fealty of the candidates by having them agree that In case they receive the nomi nation and elected the euccesaftil aspirant will agree to turn back into the county treasure each year $S00 of his salary, thus reducing the salary to $1,200 and placing It on a par, it Is rlalmed, with the other county offices, anil giving the sheriff compensation commenaurote with the duties he performs.

".-The action of the Prussian ministry of finance in announc ing that It will receive subscriptions on January 14 to a new loan, which although the amount is not named. 'Is assumed to be in the neighborhood of $75,010,000. Is ex citing much unfavorable comment In financial circles. Many regsrd the time as lll-rhoaen, before the money market haa sufficiently relaxed. The action of the ministry, however, appears to have been dictated by the wish to offer a loan to bona fide Inveators, who Just now are able to subscribe because of the payment of th December Interest coupons. The selection of the early date was prompted by a desire to put In the first bid for these lnveetnient funds before mortgage banks, municipalities and other borrowers ab sorbed them. .. The fact that the amount of the loan has not been specified aroused objections since this is regarded as unfair to the hold ers vt older Issues. The ministry's direct appeal to Investors without the assistance of the banks Is also criticised and the banks themselves are'dissatlsfied. Never theless they are disposed to assist ' In the subscription and have decided to handle the tenders of their customers. It Is expected that the loan will call out the full amount the government desires to raise. French bankers already are making Inquiries to Berlin concerning the tvrms of the aubscrlptlon.
