Wimmer was rt-ndered rnconscious. His throat had been cut. A towel was wrapped about his nock, evidently in an effort to stop the flow of blood. Investigators believe it is a case of murder and suicide. A large meat -knife and a crow bar were found in the house.

BREMER'S doing lo.OOo yards of modern paving the current year in s'-icli fashion as to create a partial loop running along Woolf avenue fro'n the present paving on Newton Koad north to River street, and on Uiver 'street east to Tempi in road.

If he council as a whole approves this enterprise the work will be dona in 1924 as it searas assured the committee will so recommend as per the consensus at the session last evening. This will be the first step' towards general improvements of highways by hard roads on the West Side. The pioposed paving spells a first class outlet for many families. Washington Street Also? The rest of the $30,000 estimate refers to the cost of Washington street paving, contemplated by the committee and likely to be approved by the aldermanic legis- ators as a 'whole next Friday evening or thereafter. This paving is on Washington setween Clinton and Linn, two slocks--an improvement "turned down 1 last year for one reason or another but seemingly iipe for ordering now as many of the objectors of 1923 are fiiends of the movement now, in the light of developments.

It is probable that these two blocks will be paved and the sewer, beneath Washington will be practically rebuilt. The Iowa City Light and Power company has made its gas main changes there already. Not Much Else Aside from these two noteworthy improvements the paving program for 1924 -is not. likely to be a big one. Odd jobs here and there throughout the city may be taken care of but the $30,000 budget above outlined may be considered the only one of importance for the cm rent 3'ear.

Many Patrons Who Withdrew Funds at Commercial State During Kecent 'Scare' Redepotit Them I With the termination ot the run on the Commercial State bank be- tore noon yesterday and the con-, sequent re-establishment of public confidence in the early afternoon, business at the bank is again practically normal today. Many patrons who withdrew funds Saturday and 3 esterday morning continued today to them, and these circumstances, augmented by the' increase or more or less large deposits, have brought about a rather happy endiug to the unfortunate affair.

It was the aim to make everybody satisfied. This applied 'equally to those who desired to withdraw their funds, as well as to those who wished to leave their accounts or increase their deposits. And, judging by the good nature that prevailed generally and at the most critical time of the run particularly, the object seemed to have been accomplished.

THE LESSON--(Editorial) Unfounded rumors, loose talk and thoughtless gossip have in themselves given a very serious lesson of what they are capable of accomplishing. Very few, if any, who indulge in this dangerous practice, give thought to the possible disastrous consequences. Suspicion, not founded on fact nor investigation, can cause widespread disaster to banks and business enterprises as well as to in- diyiduals. The wrecking of a bank or a'ny other business is not the concern only of those directly connected that bank or that business. It the concern of the wholi community for the entire community affected.

President Roosevelt once sa-id of the people the nation, -and his thought applies with evsn greater force to the people of community: that bank or business. It Is the concern of the whole community for the entire community 18 affected. President Roosevelt once said of the people of the nation, and his thought applies with even greater force to the people of a community: "We can not live unto our Individual selves alone that is, we can not hope to prosper at the expense of others' failure.
