Although he has not been a resident of Sioux City for many months, Rev.

Capt. J. S. Lothrop
To Capt. J. S. Lothrop of Sioux City, the state of Iowa owes a considerable debt. Through his efforts the state treasury has recently been enriched to the extent of nearly half a million dollars, the United States government having allowed the claim for money advanced during the Civil War. Capt. Lothrop made a hard fight for the claim, and finally won out. At Des Moines a few days ago he was awarded $7,500 as his fee.
