News of the Day. Col. W. Lumpkin, a Confederate soldier, has entered the campaign in South Carolina for Seuator Tillman's seat. After devoting most of the session to further debate of the Lake Erie and Ohio river canal scheme, the Senate yesterday passed that bill. The Farmers State bank of Clearfield, Iowa, has been closed by the state examiner. Notes to a large amount are said to be the cause of the suspension. The bank denies signing the notes. Mrs. Carl F. Bode, wife of one of the best known engineers on the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad, was deliberately shot to death yesterday in Salida, Colo., by Mrs. Harold Hutchinson, wife of a switchman, who accused her of having been too friendly with Hutchinson. The basis of a complete agreement OD the meat inspection legislation yesterday was an arrangement between the President and Speaker Cannon representing the House committee. Concessions were named by both sides, The government will pay the cost of inspec tion, and there will be no court review. A dispatch from Columbus, O., says that the trouble that has existed for some time between the operatore and minera in Ohio, was finally settled today. The strike has been declared off, and the men have been ordered to resame work. One clause in the settlement agreement provides for the return of union men to the mines in eastern Oh O. Exhausted and almost unconscious, Benjamin Scott, a lad of ten years, was found yesterday afternoon tied down on the rails of the Delaware and Hudson Railroad between Fort Edward and Sandy Hill, New York. A track walker found the boy and released him just in time to save him from being crushed by a train. The boy, who lives in Fort Edwards, said that he had been seized while on his way home by two young men, who, after lashing him, secured him across the rails and left him. How long he had lain there he could not say, but it is supposed that he must have been there for more than an hour.

BANK IN RECEIVER'S HANDS Accounts of Institution Said To Be Badly Muddled. Clearfield.-The Farmers' State bank of Clearfield has been closed by the state bank examiner. Its books are in bad snape and the actual condition of the institution will not be known for some time. There is no evidence that the funds have been misappropriated, but large deposits and liabilities are not properly accounted for and a receiver will endeavor to disentangle the mixup. George Green, who had been cashier of the institution for the past ten years, was removed last December on account of troubles the institution had encountered. O. C. Hill has had charge of the institution since that time and it is said that the discrepancies were discovered by Mr. Hill. The capital stock was $25,000, and deposits amounted to about $42,000, with about $56,000 bills receivable. After the change of cashiers the bank seemed to be all right, until lately things began to show up that had not been known. Wiley Mix claimed $6,600 of a deposit, and the bank books show $600. Lately, some $25,000 liabilities have turned up, so it is reported, that were not known to exist. Notes for large sums are found that the alleged makers deny they ever signed.

Items From Clearfield. Special to Times-Republican. Clearfield, May 9.W. I. Fritz has traded his residence, store building and stock of drugs in Lenox, and 160 acres of land in Missouri for six sections of arid land in Colorado, only twenty miles northeast of Denver, and will move to Denver in June. He was out there last week, and sold four sections of it at an advance of $3 per acre. He gets a one-third interest in an elevator in Denver. The land can be made productive so they claim, by the Campbell dry irrigation method of tillage. An action compelling the stockholders in the Farmers' State Bank to pay into the hands of the receiver the full amount of their stock, has been made in district court. The Clearfield Creamery Company is erecting an addition to their creamery and making everything up to date. Mrs. Singer is visiting her parents in Davenport, this week.
