DAVENPORT IOWA, MAY 9, 1894--EIGHT PAGES. THE STA.TE BANKS. THE STATE AUDITOR TELLS OF THEIR CONDITION. Hair Better Thuu for Many Depositors Coming Back and Everything Shows Prosperity-- Siffiiti that I own Has Not Ucen AilUcted to a Despite the croaking of some pessimists, the facts are evident, that Iowa is 0. K.

The pessimists have had their innings during 1 the late hard times. Auditor McCarthy, of the state department, comes to the front with the assertion that Iowa banks are in better condition than for many years. This is a sign of prosperity, and cannot be overrated. Davenport forms a nucles of strength in a state that is strong in banking lines. In an interview Mr.

McCarthy says: "I have watched the quarterly reports made for the quarter ending- March 31 with very much interest, and am confident the banks of the state that are under the supervision of my department, that is the state and savings bank, something like 350 in number, are iu far better condition than they have been iu years." "I do not mean bv that statement that Iowa banks have ever been in a shakv condition, for they have not. The failures that occurred last year were few in number -aud there has not been oue for more than seven months now and were the result of reckless work on the part of officers. But there has been a tendency to run too low ou percentage of deposits carried in cash, and the permitting of stockholders and officers to become liable in too larpe a sum was too often allowed. But the financial ilurry of last year has created a genuine sentiment of caution ou the part of bankers aud I iiud the average per cent of deposits represented by cash in the bank is from 25 to 30 per ceut. This reduces the bank's profits somewhat, of course, but it is a sure cure for runs a may in a few hours i a bank." ''Another i that has gratified me in tho study of those reports, is the fact that the deposits which i a i last year's panic are gradually finding their WHV back iuto the bunk ami the deposits of the bank have, 1 i nearly reached the amount held a year ago.

This is a sign of confidence a is not surpassed by any other. So while a money panic is a thing- we don't especially a after, it does have its result. It puts a checkroin en the bank official who is apt to run wild occasionally and it induces the utmost care in the securing 1 of absolutely good securities. Because of this 1 find few little overdue securities schedules, banks insist upon prompt payment, and. best of all, thov carrv a sutiieieut cash bal- 7 ance to establish, tho most implicit confidence, Of the banks under the auditor's control which failed last year all but throe are now out of the hands of receivers.

These three are the Stock Yards bank at Sioux City, with E.G. Tompkins as receiver: the State bank with Richard Palmer as receiver, and the Northwestern stato bank of Sibley, of which H. Thayer has been receiver, but has just 'been succeeded by K. Duulop by order of Judge Gay nor. In all of those save the lust the affairs are thought to be iu such condition that the depositors will ht fully protected.

In the last loss to them will be very Aurelia State bank which failed along with tho Ute bank because of the manipulations of E. M. Donaldson of the Union Loan Trust company who skipped to Mexico about $30,000 in tnouey belonging to the depositors and stockholders of the two banks, was bought by Jas. F. Foy of Sioux City, aud is now operated as a private bank, LIBRARY BOARD.

A About six-weeks ago great excite- raent was occasioned by tho disappearance from the town of Exira, of George Overholtzer, son of J. A. Oerholtzer, of Audubou. The young man has been managing a lumber yard for his father and left for Davenport or some other river town on business. He came to Des Moines and that was the last heard othim.

His father had detectives looking this city and once thought he had found evidence that George had been drugged and robbed iu a Fourth street restaurant. Later when a man was killed by cars near Muscatiue, it was thought it was the young' man. But Des Moines officers have received word that the father has heard from him by letter from Buenos Ayres, S. dated May 1, that he is coming home. The impression prevailed that the young man was out of his head when he ran away, but a letter written by a friend of his in Exira intimates that there was a srirl in the case and that matters have been fixed up.

The board of supervisors adjourned this noon. Five children were sent to tho Orphans' Home--Fred and John Md rellas, Will. Bert and Charles McSorley. Treasurer's Keport and I.iwt of liooks In View.

The first accident to the new cars on the bridge lino occurred Tuesday morning. A wagon driven by J. G. Mieneck was struck by a bridge car, at Second and Ripley, and Mr. Mie- neck was thrown to the pavement.

His injuries are 1101 fatal. The collision took place about 9 o'clock. Mr. Mieneck was driviug down Ripley. Car 58.

motorman Charles Essler, No. 30, Conductor Soutliworth, Xo, 19, was coming 0,0 Second. Mr. Mieneck pulled up his horse as though to stop, and the tnotorman shut off the current, then thinking he had the right of way, he allowed the car to glide on by its own momentum. But Mr.

Mieneck at the same time tried to cross the track. The car struck the wagon. This was a wagon with a high seat set on springs. There were three barrels on the vehicle. It was overturned, and the horse broke loose taking the shafts with him.

Mr. Mieneck was hurled violently from the seat, and struck the pavement head first. He was unconscious when picked up, and was carried into Wahle's grocery store, on the corner. The by-standers thought he was dead, aud considerable excitement was created. But he regained his senses, and was able to walk to a doctor's office near at hand.

His injuries are located on his head, and consist of au ngly cut. and a number of bruises. He will recover iu time. It is a wonder he was uot killed. He was driven to his home.

A point of law has been made in Des Moines, that is interesting to all cities where clubs are maintained. Two or three weeks ago the Iowa Electric and Construction company of that city instituted an action in the district court against the Des Moines club and five or six of its individual members to recover an account amounting to for electrical supplies furnished the club. Judge Holmes handed down his decision iu tho case, holding that an action can be maintained agaiust the club as a corporation, but could not recover fnjm the individual members for corporata debts contracted. The first question raised was that there is 110 law in Iowa authorizing the incorporation of the club because its purpose was to afford members exclusive social privileges, that it was cot authorized to do a "lawful business'' and was not conducted for the purpose of pecuniary profit, Judgre Holmes held plaintiff was not entitled to raise this question because, if right in the assumption, the club was usurping the powers of the state, and in the absence of statute such questions can be raised only by quo warranto proceedings, and the statutes of Iowa expressly provide for such, inquiry when corporations seek to exercise powers uot conferred upon them.

Steady employment for labor at fair wages is what makes and builds up a city. The commissions of the six or en thousand notaries public, who do business iu the state of Iowa will expire with'July 3 next, and those parties are now receiving notices of that fact from the state officials at Des Moines.

with suggestions that if they wish their commissions continued they are required to file their applications with approved bond and $1.25 to cover the cost of the same. It has been estimated by competent civil engineers that the Mississippi river annually discharges 19,500,000,000.000 cubic feet of water into the Gulf of Mexico. Of this prodigious quantity the 1-2900 part is sediment. Thus it will be seen that the Mississippi annually deposits enough mud in the Gulf to cover a square mile of surface to a depth of 240 feet.
