Frank Sloan and the boom in good land wealth
The article recalls Frank Sloan a Monticello boy who saved money as a school teacher and invested in Nebraska land, later guiding the Geneva State Bank and its directors. It notes his mentor role for young men, and contrasts his prosperity with Doctor Frederick Cook’s parole case as a caution about risk and ambition. It also covers Iowa legislative tensions, Hon. James I. H. Trewin’s death, and the start of the tornado season with safety reminders.
