But they were there when the Register took possession of the building, having been built and used by the previous occu­ pant, Mr. B. F. Allen, as a vault. If these old vaults could speak--especially the oldest one, fronting toward Court Avenue--it could tell some stories of years gone by better and truer, per­ haps, than can the writer from memory, after the lapse of twenty-four or twenty- five years. The story to follow is a true one, and 4ias lain buried in the breasts of a few 'old citizens nearly a quarter of a cent­ ury. It will do no harm now to tell it. IBome of the actors are dead, some have kelnoved to distant fields, and, should this story fall under their eyes, it iSrill recall the old "open secret," which, no doubt, has faded to some extent from memory. In June, 1855, there came to this then village a young man not then 21 wears old, who was seeking a home in •the West--a druggist by trade. A situ­ ation was obtained in a drug store on second street* near Market, where Mott's elevator now stands. From low­ est he rcse to highest position in the store, and was finally ashed "to come up higher"--which meant a situation as assistant bookkeeper in Mr. Allen's bank, Second street, not far from Vine, the then center of business. "When the bank moved to the build­ ing especially built for it by Mr. Alljpn in 1857-8, the young man, whom I will call Warren, had become a trusted em­ ploye, and risen to the position of as­ sistant cashier--acting cashier in Mr. Allen's absence--with a general charge of the business. The United States 'Land Office, of which the well-known Isaac Cooper was Register, had a room directly back of the bank, on the same floor, and, having no safe or vault for valuables, obtained the consent of Mr. Allen fa) ijBfl bin va.ilIt for storing the - coin received in the business of his of­ fice, as that was the kind of money the Government required in payment of dues. As Mr. Cooper only settled with the Government once a quarter, a con­ siderable sum thus accumulated and was allowed to lie in a bag in the vault till needed to pay the Government dues. Mr. D. O. Finch, a young lawyer, who attended pretty largely to the col­ lections for the bank, had an office in the second story, and was given a "pig­ eon-hole privilege" in the vault for his collection wallet, and came and went without let or hindrance during bank­ ing hours. I shook hands with the name old wallet or banker's case the other day, which is still in possession of Mr. Finch. It has done its life's work, but is kept for the sake of old memories. Messrs. Allen and Warren carried the keys and combination of the vault, and the latter was the first to open and the last to close and look it after the day's business was over. * - pi'" ' r:-: - #;• f !|w prVaiV f* " *"• CHAPTEBU day near the close of the quarter Mr. Cooper came in the back way, as was his custom, and going to the vault said, Til take that money out of your way now." "All right," was the reply; "go in and get it.** He went in and Btaid an unreason­ able length of time, and came out with • look of great surprise ©n^iia face. "I can't find it!" "Can't find it!" Mr. Alien replied. "It must be there.n But it did not so appear. A very careful search was instituted. With trembling hands and flattering hearts the banker and assistant turned the vault inside out, searching every nook and corner, but no bag of gold wag discovered. The missing bag contained $5,000! There was only one way to explain its absence. It had been stolen, and by whom? It was a very heavy loss, and might seriously complicate Mr. Cooper's affairs. There was only one thing to be done, to find the thief. But fiow ? On the afternoon of that day Messrs. Allen and Cooper held a conference witli the law firm of Casady, Crocker & Polk, Sherman's block, and it was a long and very searching session. It was found that oulv four persons had access to the vault, Mr. Allen, Warren, Mr. Cooper and D. O. Finch, and these per­ sons were discussed and dissected bv them and the lawyers, one at a time, ft wat< thought that perhaps Dan Finch might have been tempted to take the money, but the impetuous Crocker said, with a little of profauity, "No, Dan Finch don't think enough of money to steal it, and beside he couldn't hide it twenty-four hours if he had." So it was finally nai rowed down to one person. Warren must have stolen the money, as there was no one else who could have done it. Mr. P. M. Casady, the senior of the law firm, wan appointed to see him and try, if possible, to get some clew or admission that could be followed by the arrest of the guilty party, le interview took place in a little private room cut off from the bank, near where the Register's bookkeeper, Sim Welling, now has his desk. Just what passed between them tfcr wnV> does not know, but at the eni of an hour, when the Judge went back to his office to report progress to those in waiting, he was more mystified and MT the dork than ever. "Gentlemen," SL „ . . - out­ side slipping Into the vault while he Stomay with his books and getting money, he replied that sodh a thing •Ottld not be done as he was always on the alert and very careful. He admitted "feat he had the only key and combina­ tion to the vault except those Mr. Allen carried; that the money was there but a short time ago; that it can­ not now be found; that he had no sus­ picion of any one outside that could possibly have stolen it, and that it was as much a mystery to him as to any of us. When I told him it looked very bad for him and that he was liable within an hour to be arrested he ad­ mitted it, looked me squarely in the face without a tremor of the lip or a quiver of the eyelid. In fact, he ad­ mitted everything except taking the money or having any knowledge of its ; whereabouts. I can hardly believe this young man guilty--at least he did 'not look so--but the circumstances are certainly against him." This very frank and manly statement Iliad its weight, and it was agreed, after much discussion, that things should be left as they were; that Mr. Allen should continue him in his employ, and all concerned should watch for some clew upon which to hang a case, and com­ pare notes daily concerning this mys­ terious theft. In the meantime Warren had laid the case plainly and honestly before his friend D. O. Finch, asking his counsel. Mr. Finch said, "Keep cool. ' If the worst comes, I will de­ fend you. I am in the same boat with you, for I have been in and out of that vault at all hours of the day, and am no doubt suspected, as you are. We can do nothing now except wait for a clew. We must wait." To wait under these circumstanced was the hardest task ever set before mortal man. The burden of life was taken .up again and made all the heavier by a heart of lead and the consciousness of a secret which could not be lightened by sharing it with near and dear friends. * CHAPTER m If the readers please, let me go back to a time three days prior to the start­ ling scenes of the last chapter, and in order that they may understand some­ thing of the difficulties of banking as well as other business in those days it is onlv necessary to say that we had very littie, if any; paper money in circulation here that New York bankers would ac­ cept. Western currency would not do, and that was about all the paper money we had, so in shipping gold and silver was the only kind a Western banker could trust to keep his credit good and to draw his drafts against in the East­ ern cities. If I had space I would like to give a description of the kind of money we were afflicted with in those days when we had any. All bankers, tradesmen, merchants, etc., studied the Bank Note Reporter and Counterfeit Detector, a copy of which hung by every prudent business man's desk, with the utmost diligence, and in receiving money a merchant would have to satisfy himself by consulting the Reporter that it would be accepted by the bank "if he run all the way" to deposit it as soon as re­ ceived. Otherwise he would lose it in case he couldn't find "the man who passed it off on. him," and compel him fn a Uftijlf So if ths bump- of caution was well developed, and the amount considerable, it took about as much time to receive the mon­ ey as to sell the goods. The express companies of those days sent out only one shipment a week to Iowa City in an extra stage-coach in charge of George Butts, a man who has carried more treasure in this way, per­ haps, than any one in the same busi­ ness in Iowa, and a man of great endur­ ance and faithful to duties assigned him. As this express stage had no regular time to depart the express agent usually went around to his cus­ tomers and notified them privately of the time of intended departure so that shipments might be ready in time, and they would accordingly prepare the shipment and carry it to the express office after night, thereby avoiding a display of the treasure on the street in day time. Thus it was, after such a notification, that Mr. Allen told War­ ren if he would prepare the $27,000 he wished to ship to W. S. Gilmore & Son, New York, make a memorandum of the same, and leave him the keys of the bank, he would carry the coin to the express office at night and save him the trouble of coming back to attend to it. Mr. Allen lived where the Aborn House now stands, and at 10 o'clock, with the assistance of Billy, his man of all work, he went into the vault by the light of a tallow dip--we had no gas in those days to freeze up and vex' our righteous souls--gathered up the bags of gold and carried them to the express office on Third street, and taking a receipt there­ for retired to his home to sleep the sleep of the just. A week passed slowly by, another had come and was nearing its close, bring­ ing not a rift in the cloud of mystery, nor a ray Qf light to tiang.a hope upon. Mr. Allen had just returned from the postoffice and was busy opening and reading his letters. A letter from his well-known Ney York correspondent caught his eye--an acknowledgment of the receipt of the $27,000 he thought. The letter was short and terse, as nearly all business letters are, and, for a won­ der, had a "P. S.," which read: "In addition to the $27,000 of which we have advices, there is a bag of gold containing $5,000, of which there is no mention; to whom shall we credit it?" "Glory hallelujah!" shouted the banker. "The $5,000 is found; read this." "Thank the Lord," said Warren; fer­ vently, after reading, and without wait­ ing for hat or coat he rushed up to Dan Finch's office, and. throwing his arms about that astonished lawyer's neck, shouted: "Thank God, Dan, we are saved; the money is found," and burst into tears of joy. "And what did you?" the writer asked Mr. Finch, after hearing from him the story. "Oh," said the warm­ hearted man, "I s'pose I blubbered too." So the mvsterv was cleared up. Mr. Allen had shipped Mr. Cooper's money with own by mistake, and the hon­ esty of the New York house saved the good names > of all concerned. The lawyers lost their case, and no one re­ joiced more thereat than themselves. Confidence was restored and restitution made to Mr. Cooper, and the reader is no doubt ready to agree with me that All's well that ends well. - -- Ifes Moines Register. •mt CM liwil a* Fattta tFwaii tjplframilo NawaJ An/Mfcbfe, ~ rapftfl rtwiritl wseim of ifowfcn-- *' He ~ rni fibrillins thrifty fbrarthooght of his nation, ae- eured a lower berth, and was meditat- ingvpon tbi wisdom of gathering his bodybehind like curtains when he was accosted by an Englishman in a tweed nuii.

"You bet your life," replied the other. • "My sister," said the owner of the tweed suit, "has the upper berth, which is deuced awkward, you know.

The request was scarcely preferred when the American, with the gallantry of a genuine Yank, hastened to assure his English acquaintance that nothing could give him more pleasure than to be of service to a lady. On the following morning the Ameri­ can was astonished to see a pair of tweed legs emerge from a lower berth opposite that which he had politely given up, and the next moment the adipose upper extremities of the En­ glishman. "Say," said the American, as an air of grave disgust began to creep over'his astonished physiognomy, "didn't you ask me to give up my lower berth to your sister ?"

The poet Rogers was a professional sayer of sharp things, though really a very good-natured man. Being asked for an epigram upon Mr. Ward, M.

To be sure, the contagiousness of leprosy is not the rank communicability ef the acute infectious diseases, but that it is contagious to such a degree as to make it unsafe to allow its victims to go in and out among their fellow-men year after year seems to admit of little if any question. Certainly, the commu­ nity should give itself the benefit of whatever doubt there may be in the case, and isolate the leper ruthlessly, and, as regards leprous immigrants, forbid their landing on our Pew York Medical Journal.

Yet these men all have votes, and they vote lawyers into nearly all places of profit and power. There are by the last census only 64,137 lawyers in the United States. The very poorest public office which lawyers fill is worth $1*000 per year, and from that up to Judges and Commissioners, which get $5,000 to $16,000 per year. Those offices and those wages are voted by the farm­ workers whose wages are as above mentioned. If the farmers can stand that sort of thing the lawyers can.
