At the tiir.e of the failure of the company Its stock liabilities amounted to nearly 1300.000.

At the time of the failure the laws governing building and loan associations were sadly Sacking and every point in dispute hiid to be carried to the supreme court for decision Several were won by the receiver which eirorts had been made to establish the priority of certain claims of different nature. Also to establish the priority of the claims of tne stockholders who had filed notice ot withdrawal. Th'e supreme court held that the notice of withdrawal did not change the position of the stockholders as being such -n the- company. It was held that they had no more 'rights than the stockholders who had not filed notice of withdrawal.

When Beceiver Wilcoxen first took charge of the affairs of the company he estimated, as well as he could without having possession of the books, that the assets ought to pay out between 20 and 25 per cent. His estimate would nave proven correct had it not been that on one case he was defeated in which was involved the payment of certain debenture bonds The principal assets now remaining to the association are some fifty or sixty lots in this city. It is not considered that they wlll realize more than S20.000 at the outside. It will take a year yet to iinaliy wind up the affairs of the company on account of one case which is still in court It is not expected that it wall be possible to pay out as much as has already been distributed. GREATEST 31 AN OF JITTERS Xcon H.

Vincent Pays High, Tribute to B. Leon H. Vincent, author and-lecturer, is in the city ar.d deliverer! the iirst lecture of his course before the Midland Chautauqua this afternoon. Mr. Vincent has a national reputation as a critic and writer of literary articles.

He is a regular and frequent contributor to the At- Jantic Monthly and an occasional contributor to the Springfield Republican. In a conversation with a Capital reporter today he was asked: "What do you consider the best novel yet produced in America by an American author?" that is a very large and broad question and difficult to answer. We cannot measure literary labors as we do mountain heights, by their physical features. This is a question of individual tastes a great deal." "Where do you place 'The Scarlet Letter'?" "It has never been surpassed or excelled. It is generally acknowledged to be 'the great American novel, and such I consider it." "Again, considering your personal tastes and- knowledge, whom do vou consider the greatest man of letters in America today?" "I think I would place William Dean Howalls at the head.

There never has been a novelist in this country who did broader or more comprehensive work. His descriptions are perfectly wonderful. If you have ever been in Boston, New- York or Saratoga you know how -wonderfully accurate are his scenes. He can take, a few lines and make the plnce actually appear before you. His scenes are absolutely true to life, he possesses wonderful descriptive powers.

It is the same with his grasp of psychological problems. He has a marvelous insight into human character and can delineate it perfectly. Take his "Hazard of New Fortunes" for instance, which is one of his- best works, I think- The study of life there is admirable and worthy of all praise. So I think, considering this subject as a study of fiction, thut Mr. Howells is our greatest literary person today.

Still I have a great admiration for Mr. Cable and for Miss Wllklns. They arc both doing splendid work. I am well acquainted with Mr. Cable and spend part of my summers in Northampton everj- year, so know him well.

"There are a number of very bright ar.d promising young writers at the present time. But I have little sympathy with this talk about a western or an eastern literature. We are all Americans, all students of Shakespeare's English. I do not think there is a literature of Iowa any more than of Boston, it Is all American literature." Mr. Vincent is a resident of Boston and In addition to his literary contributions is engaged as lecturer on literature the National Park seminary in Washington and the Smead school in Toledo, Ohio.

He divides most of his time between Boston, Washington and New York, lecturing there and In towns in the vicinity. His lectures are on English and American literature and embrace a wide range of topics and studies, from Chaucer's life and times, through the beginning of tne modern novel, with Fielding- and Richardson, from Wordsworth on to the present time. Such living authors as Meredith, Hardy, Barrie, James, Howells and Gissing are lectured upon and the series on the continental authors includes studies of Moliere, Voltaire, Sand, Heine, Balzac and Hugo. Mr. is a nephew of Bishop Vincent, the foundsr of the ChaiitauwiR Assembly, and a son of Rev.

B. T. Vincent, D. to whom his well known volume "The Bibliotaph and Other Peoplo" is dedicated. He 5s a frank and natural speaker, adding a dash of wit and humor to his remarks that enlivens and interests.

A little idea of his quiet humor can be secured in this passage from his essay on Bibliotaph: "Of his clothes It might be said that ne did not wear them, but rather dwelt at large in there. They were made by high- priced tailors and were fashionably cut, but he lived In them so Is, traveled so so much, sat no long and so hard, gestured so earnestly, and carried In his many pockets such an extraordinary -collection of notebooks. Indelible pencils, card cases, stamp boxes, pen-knives, gold toothpicks, thermometers and what within twenty-four hours after he bad donned new clothes all the artistic merits of the carmen were obliterated; they were, from every point of view, hopelessly degenerate." Mr. Vincent will deliver Svc lectures while In this city and all promise to be well attended and of muck interest and profit. HAD A TOOTH FOR CANDY Juvenile Robbers Go Through Grocery Store of J.

W. STERLING IS VERY OBSTINATE Bicycle Thief Did Xot Want to Come Back to Des Moiues From St. Joseph. J. W.

Bailantyne's grocery store at 1203 Ninth street, wag visited last night by a strange lot of burglars. Entrano; was to the store by prying oper. a cellar door and forcing the door that leads from the cellar into the store room. The thieves took time to eat several pies, some caka and candy and wound their feast by drinking several bottles of pop. The- floor of the store was strewn with cake a-nd pie crumbs and candy papers, showing that the robbers had had a royal Aside from the Bweetmeats that are missing, Mr.

Ballamyrve can find nothing else that the thieves got with the excepuonof 50 cigars and about worth of postage stamps. The robbery was discovered early this morning and the city detectives were notified at once and made an examination of the store and took a description of the missing- articles. Many things of a. great deal more value than the articles Uiken were lying about the store, but the seem to have- been modent in their desires and cared more to satisfy their stomachs than to take things of value. "It must beer; the work of boys," Detective Johnson said this morning.

"I never knew of men who would be childish enough to go into -a store and Etay long enough to eat a lot of cake and pie and candy. Jf a gang of regular thtevetj had done the work they would have wanted something of taore value end would have carried away enough tobacco and groceries to pay them for their trouble. Whoever did the work was smooth enough to not leave any clue whatever. Nobodj' heard the thieves entering or leaving the store and we are absolutely without anything to work on in looking up the case." Harry Sterling hi Trouble. About two months ago Harry Sterling, a young fellow about 21 years old, who had just been mustered out of the army came to Des MDinea and stole three bicycles.

One of the wheels he rented from W. P. and left in a pawn shop. The other two were taken In front of office buildings and showed within, a few days. The detectives got trace of the man and followed him to St.

Joseph, but before he could be arrested on the Des MoinjB charge he a wheel in St. Joseph and was given a sentence of two months in jail. Sterling's time in St. Joseph was out yesterday and Chief McNutt went after him and brought him back to Des Moines this morning. Sterling made up his mind he would not come back to Des Moines and when the jailar at St.

Joseph released Sterling from hie cell, he had on no clothc-s but an undershlp and would not tell what had become of his clothes. The Des Moines train was due in a few minutes and Chief McNutt was determined to bring- the man at once, so the St. Joseph jailor up an old pair of trousers and eome socks for Sterling. Chief McNutt hustled the hatless, shoeless and coatless nzan into a. cab and soon had him well on his way toward Des Moines.

Sterling was In a bad humor about being taken on the train ir. such scanty attire and refused to speak io Chief McNutt during the trip. An indictment 'was brought 'against Sterlirg after he stole the wheels. The wheels he etole in Des Moinss were valuable ones and he will not escape the Des Moines charges with a jail Sentence. TROUBLE JJMfflE CAMP City Authorities not Waul To Issue RiugJiug Brothers' a license.

THE BIG CIRCUS SURE TO COME Will Stay Away on Account of the State TTuir and Battle of Sun Monday, August 28, is the date the Ring-ling circus has chosen for its annual performance in Des Moiiies. Clay Lambert, the advance agent of the- shou', is in the city ami applied for a license at the city hail this morning. 1 he-re has been a tacit understanding around the city hall that no attractions should be licensed to in opposition to the state fair, the Battle of San Juan and the concerts to be given in the Auditorium during state fair week, and no license was issued to Mr. Lambert, but he was asked to come around and see. about this afternoon.

"We will show here on August 28. and there is nothing that can keep us from doing it," Mr, Lambert said in discussing the matter. "I have seen things fixed up this way before to protect other attractions, but it don't go with me. They have an ordinance here providing for the licensing: of shows, I have of" fered to comply with the ordinance and nothing more can be asked of the show. Tho ordinance provides for licensing shows; it does not say that shows shall not be licensed because- the state fair is on.

or because the Battle of San Juan is in town. This is a condition of things we run into frequently, but I nave never seen the time yet when the license failed to be forthcoming after a good bluff had been put up on the part of the city officials. There is nothing to back them up in their refusal, and they always weaken. The show is to be here on Monday of state fair week; that is always a poor day at the fair and the attendance is usually smalj. The circus would bring a crowd to town to look at the parade and would advertise the fair without hurting- it any.

AS to the Battle of San Juan, if it is'not a good enough show to get its share of the people, it doesn't deserve any nro-f- tion. Ringlmgr circus will show in Des Moines on August 28, and any opposition put in our way will noi stop us and certainly will not be any credit to the attractions that prompt such action." The city ordinance provides that licenses shall be charged for according to the size of the attraction and the maximum, limit is $200. It will not be possible to hinder the circus from coming by raising the license price, because would not be a prohibitive price. Before Mayor MacVIcar went to the lakes he had an understanding with City License Collector Gross that attractions which would conflict with the state fair would be kept out of the city. air.

Crops was not at the city hall whan the license was applied for. but City Treasurer Elliott had charge of the office, and. knowing- of the agreement that had been, entered. Into, he would not issue the license. "I do not -believe that the city can refuse to issue the license." Mr.

Elliott said, "but there has been an understanding in the matter. I do not feel iike issuing the license until all the people who are opposed to having other attractions come to the city have a chance to know all about how things stand, and are given an opportunity to make all the suggestions they th.ink.pf. If I were to issue the license now they would jump on me and tell me how ihe thing should have been done and where I was at fault. If they have a chance to make their suggestions first they will be better satisfied." Annie is in Trouble. When thi officers arrested Jennie Haye, colored, for stealing from W.

J. "Weaver of East Peru. information was sworn) out against an UK- known white u-oman. who a part in the robbery. "Weaver" gave a gooS description of the women to eoabie officers to recognize her and last night Annie Hammill was run in on charge.

She -was arrainged hefort Judge Silyara this morning on charges of larceny and vagrancy and pleaded not guilty on both counts. Henry Gilbert, in whose house the robbery took place, was aleo arrested and charged with being an inmate a disorderly house, to which charge pleaded not guilty. The robbery occurred late Tuesday afternoon, before Gilbert came home from work, and he claims to know nothing- about the affair. Jennie Hays took a. change of venue to Justice Tris' court and Annie Hammill and Henry Gilbert will probably go to the justice court -with their cases.

il. P-arUlmnst, who i-taU'ti his views uUsiuly ana was heartily for'his regarding home work and marriage tifcti and plainly and excoiiattd the women who hoir.e for clubs who or.u-r rr.iir- liage contracts with th'. intention of not bfaring children. The wat; cuHed to ordc-r by Mrs. A.

E. Shipley, who that, for same unknown ivason, Younker was not present. She was to speak on "Philanthropy, Abuse." so Mrs. Shipley Biigstrsied that there be an informal discuaei'ju mid that uuc-stions be propounded for Dr. Parkhurst to answer his iotn; t-x- perieiu-e and work in yjch in Chicago, Boa ion and atlu-r cities.

The following pr-jpounded the doctor: "What will we with the tramp who applies at the JoorT" "What wiil we do war the children who aro not being brought XID right, physically, mentally and "Will the philanthropic detract ar.y from the homt and duties of the mother?" "Which has the beat effect, organized charity or that out unor- ganised?" In answering these questions Dr. Parkhurit said: "The first io a serious question. When I started my ministry, I said to my wife and I will never tuni away a worthy man from my door, but 1 will not help the unworthy, had to change this for I found myself out of a Host of the applicants at the home have brought their troubles upon themselves by their own follies and indiscretions: there are few worthy applicants. A really worthy will Jiiid relatives, acquaintances, fritnds or a church to take care of him. without his having to go among strangers.

Of course, there are exceptional cases, but they are few. Then the- question arises, "shall we never assist the I don't think It will do to shut do'wn and say we will help only the worthy, It will hurt your feoul to do this. "I think we nceti organized philanthropy to protect the pubiic from imposters and we need personal visitation and contract to bring the loving heart in touch with the needy. The full benefit of chanty as Christ taught and practiced it cannot come through organized work, we must have personal visiting. Intelligent co-operation of the two is the best solution.

No, I never turn a rcan away hungry from nty door. If I know it. (Applause.) I think the municipal authoritiee here in DC-? Moines should make a provision, though, to arrest the professional, who imposes on good people time after time. It is done in Chicago a-nd should be done here. "Now to the second, question.

The settlement idea is being tried thoroughly today and is one of the solutions- The institutional church is another factor, but I think there is very great doubt in the mind cf every one who has attempted it of the possibility of success for the institutional church. The public school is safely to our country and every child should be sent to school either by parents or by the public. "In the third question I am likely to tread on dangerous ground. I do not like the name of Woman's club, because I don't like that word club. In the tnis club idea which is running wild in thin country-and proving such a feed is at the expense of the money, time and affections of t'ne home.

I believe every father a-nd every mother, every husband and wife, should make the home the center of work and effort; all work should center around the home first and ahead of everything else. It is the unit of civilization, the unit of Christianity. I have no uge for the woman who interests herself in the children of China and fails to properly care for her own children or kills her unborn babo. I think that entering into marriage with the intention of not bearing children is only legalized adultery. It is time we are doing something about this, it is a growing evil." Prof.

Carl Rothfusa asked Dr. Parkhurst if the physical and mentral training should not go together. Dr. Parkhurst replied by telling the difficuUy the Y. M.

C. A. experienced in establishing its physical department. He eaid he haa great respect for Air. Moody and his work but the said that with the dumb-bell came thbigs which should be guarded against and that the tendency to add physical training to semi-religious institutions was a drift toward the smash-up.

Personally, Dr. Parkhurst thought the school -work ehould be supplemented by manual training and physical development. A Study of Hawthorne. At 2 o'clock this afternoon Leon H. Vincent lectured on Nathaniel Hawthorne, before a large audience.

His Jecture wae preceded by a harp selection by Miss Lowe. Mr. Vincent's address was a critical study of Hawthorne and his work, was listened to with attention and interest and proved valuable and entertaining. In the first part of the lecture Mr. "Vincent gave five characteristics of genius, as follows: First, a man of genius never works for money, but often finds money coming to hirn afterwards from the exercise of hfe creative power.

Second, a man of genius has the power of complete absorption in his work. He is indifferent to' all those those things with respect to which most men arc careful, auch as dress and meals. "If you never forgotten you dinner hour then you are certainly not a man of genius," said Mr. Vincent, Third, e. man of genius ha? a.

childlike disposition 1 especially was this true of Hawthorne. Fourth, a man of genius has a tendency toward melancholy. GOLD DUST.

XotcSi The kindergarten class under the able leadership of iliss IVIaley is growing in numbers daily, 22 little ones being at work this morning.

AH the parents should try and attend one or more of these interesting lectures. It is a treat worth enjoying. The classes of Professor Carl Rothfuss in physical culture are increasing so rapidly in numbers and interest as to make it almost a necessity on the part of the management to secure him larger quarters. The training and lectures the young folks receive there will be of value all through life. Dr.

Parkhurst delivered a lecture before the W. C. T. U. at headquarters nocn on account of today beinsr Woman's day.

The register shows lady visitors to be present from all over the state "and some from other states. The lectures on astronomy and microscopy, given daily by Dr. Eaton and Dr. Field, have proven so interesting 1 that the attendance has crowded the teachers out of their tent and the audience may now be found sitting on the grass "at the feei-of the master." learning the wonders of the sky and those of the invisible world.
