Rensselaer people are wondering whether the Republican is “legging” for James H, Chapman to be appointed as trustee of the Parker bank through real interest in the depositors or whether its article on the subject was a paid ad. There are plenty of good men in Remington, men who are thoroughly competent and in whom the depositors have cbnfidenoe will administer the affairs to the beet interest of all concerned, without dilly-dallying along with the matter for several years, and who will play no favorites. A home man should be selected by the creditors by all means.

The parties connected with the receivership of the Baldwin & Dague bank of Goodland were here again yesterday and Judge Hanley made the appointment of receivers, naming H. T. Griggs and L. A. Wiles of Goodland and attorney Grant Hall of Fowler. Wiles was the cashier of the defunct bank and is to serve without expense to the creditors, Baldwin & Dague to pay him, it is under, stood. Griggs wanted Wiles to assist him and the depositors have much confidence, in him. The bankers also wanted Wiles as they contend the bank will pay out and be can make it do so. The bonds of the receivers were filed yesterday for approval also.

Over in Beaton county there was a great squabble for the appointment as receiver of the Baldwin & Dague Fowler and Ambia banks. Auditor of state Biliheimer and the “busted” bankers finally agreed on Grant Hall, a Fowler attorney who had been doing considerable legging for the plaoe. Judge Saundersou. who had the power to appoint whom he chose, suggested L. A. MoKnight, one of the prominent republicans of that place who had not solicited the job. Billheimer then got wrathy and took a change of venue from Judge Sauuderson before he had finally appointed McKnight, aud on agreement Will R. Wood of Lafayette was seleoted as special judge to make the appointment. Wood declined to get mixed up in the trouble and Judge Lairy of Logansport was then oalled in as special judge, aud be has appointed a Loganeport man named Elliott, we understand.
