Attack Americans Near Quinga and Are Repulsed With Severe Punishment. Beoruiting for the New Regiments Completed, the Full Quota Being Acoepted. Sufficient Recruits Will Be listed to Keep Army at Maximum Strength. Manila, Aug. 15, 8:85 a. m.—A force of United States troops from Quingua, four miles northeast of Malolos, and from Balluag, near Bustos, about six miles northeast of Quingua, encoun tered a body of insurgents, estimated at about 600, half way between Bustos and Quingua. In the engagement that en sued the Filipinos were severely pun ished and scattered. The Americans lost one man killed. The insurgent force is believed to have been under the command of Qen. Rio del Pilar and to have had in view the tearing up of the railway at Bocave and Bigaa, about three miles northeast of Dulacan. A battalion of the Twenty-flrst infan try will be sent to these points this af ternoon to strengthen the railroad guard and to reconnoiter the country In the direction of Norzagaray and on the Bustos road. Gen. Wheaton, with the troops at Cal ulut, made a reconnoisance on Angeles, about four miles to the northwest, •where he found 500 of the enemy. He silenced their lire and then returned to Calulut. IIAVE SURPLUS OF RECRUITS. Ton New Regiment* Are Now Filled to tbo Maximum, Washington, Aug. 15.—The recruiting for the ten new regiments has reached the maximum, but the work continues and may not cease until as many more regiments are organized. The full strength of a regiment is 1,309 enlisted men. There are ten regiments of in fantry forming in this country and two of infantry and one of cavalry in the Philippines. Gen. Otis expects to have about 500 men for each of these regi ments, the remainder, or about 2,500 re cruits, to be furnished from this coun try. The thirteen volunteer regiments now provided for will require 17,017 of the 85,000 volunteers authorized by law. It Is admitted In official circles that the recruiting of volunteers will be con tinued, but no one in authority will es timate the number that will be enlisted. When all the reinforcements have reached the Philippines the American forces will number about 50,000 men. The percentage of losses to the effective strength of such an army through death from wounds and shickness and inca pacity from disease and wounds, will average about 1.000 a month during an energetic campaign. It is believed fo be the intention of the administration to keep a reserve force on the Pacific coabt of from five to ten regiments of volunteers from which to draw a regiment monthly to maintain the effective strength in the Philippines. That is to say, it is expected that the policy will develop Into forwarding a new regiment to Manila monthly, the movement to commence about Novem ber. By that time the re-enforcements now being organized will have cleared from San Francisco and most of them will have reached Manila. The regulars now in the Philippines have been under a severe strain phys ically, and many of them are unfit for an arduous campaign. The transports taking over the new volunteer regi ments will bring back some of the in valided regulars, who will be replaced by recruits now being enlisted. It will be possible to send the additional forces in regimental form If desired, as many of the officers In the Philippines desire a rest, and will be given leave of ab sence as soon as they can be spared. Even though the reserve force may not go to the Philippines to retain regi mental form, they can be set up on the coast under the officers whom the sec retary of war has asked the governors of the state to name. Such of these officers as are commissioned can assist In recruiting regiments, can direct their organisation and conduct the men to Manila even though they may not be called upon to remain to lead them in battle. The latest reports received by the ad jutant general show that at the close of recruiting Sunday there was a surplus •of 120 men after the ten volunteer regi ments had been filled. These extra re cruits will be sent to Columbus bar racks, Ohio. Four hundred of the men now at that rendezvous have been or dered to proceed to San Francisco im mediately for transportation to the Philippines for distribution between the thirty-sixth and Thirty-seventh regi men t». The number of men recruited by each regiment, Including Sunday, was: Twenty-sixth Infantry, 1,421 Twenty seventh Infantry, 1,433 Twenty-eighth infantry, 1,374 Twenty-ninth Infantry. WT Thirtieth Infantry. 1,341 Thlrty flrst infantry, 1,443 Thirty-second In fantry, 1,131 Thirty-third Infantry. 976 Thirty-fourth infantry, 1,481- Thir ty-fifth infantry, 745. The surplus In the regiments that show strength in ex cess of the maximum will be used in filling the regiments below the maxi mum. The quartermaster general's depart ment is making diligent efforts to in crease the transport service and nego gotlatlons have been commenced to charter the City of Pueblo, due In San Francisco. It has a capacity of twen ty-five officers and 800 men, and could be made ready to sail by the end of the month. Quarantine Against Portugal.

Leading Democrats Sneer at the Tammany Cillers Latest Inter view. Saratoga, Aug. 15.—The prominent democrats who have been holding in formal discussions here Intend to trans fer the scene of operations to New York, where a formal conference will be held Friday evening at the Hoffman House. Judge Joseph F. Willett, of Alabama, the prime mover In the organization of the conference, has wired that he will be present in New York and that a large number of prominent democrats from all the gulf states will also be there: One of the active spirits In the movement was asked regarding this change of meeting place and he replied that it was understood that Richard Croker would reach here on Wednes day and it was desired to avoid all im putation or suspicion of Tammany in fluence in the matter. Many of the leaders are very bitter against Croker on account of his "flop," not only to Bryan, but to anti-expansion. One of them, Maj. Henry Ames, of St. Louis, who but recently arrived and reported the Van Wyck sentiment growing rap idly in Missouri, was quite outspoken. He did not hesitate to express his con viction that Croker was scared Into his change of base. When Bryan was in Now York last February Croker was asked to call upon him. He curtly refused, saying that Bryan "cut no ice," and soon after came out vigorously In favor of ex pansion, which he now as vigorously denounces. Chairman Stone, of the democratic national committee, was ex ceedingly angry and said, according to report widely circulated at the time, that he would see that Croker was thrown out of the window at the nar tional convention unless he changed front In the meantime and speedily at that. Maj. Ames is a great admirer of Stone and thinks Croker displayed wis. discretion in avoiding a conflict with that redoubtable Mlssour!an. Just before leaving the Grand Union Judge Van Wyck had a lengthy confer ence with Freeman Rasin of Baltimore, who had come from a long consultation with former Senator Arthur P. Gorman at the United States hotel. Neither of them had any disclosures to make, but he matter was considered highly sig nificant. One of the shrewdest politi cians among these influential southern ers felt so encouraged that he remarked that Bryan was undoubtedly beaten If this movement continues to gain head way during the next three months as rapidly as It has recently. Attorney William F. McCrea of New York, who reached here yesterday, after a tour through New England, reported that the democrats there are all talk ing Van Wyck. Judge Wlllet wired to send half a million more of Van Wyck's anti-trust speeches through the south, and added, "tell our friends the new movement is making great headway in the south." The commercial travelers have been especially active there, being stirred up by the instinct of self-preser vation in view of the rapid consolida tion being effected by the growth of the trusts. It Is well to keep In mind, in estimat ing the force of this attempt to break away from Bryan and populism, that it is purely a southern affair and the leaders are men of Influence, ability and determination, with whom politics means the triumphs of principle and not the distribution of spoils. They ad mire Bryan very much and fully appre ciate the strength of Croker In the po litical world, but they feel the return of the party to its old landmark is vital to Its success and all that this means to them. Washington, Aug. 15.—The few Demo cratic congressmen now in Washington are not disposed to treat Mr. Croker's latest utterances with the same con sideration attached to them by politici ans in New York. Tonight a group of Georgia congressmen, consisting of Senator Clay and Representatives Brantley of Brunswick and Adamson of Carrollton were seen. After discuss ing Mr. Croker In a general way, Sen ator Clay remarked: "The people of Georgia have no re gard for what Mr. Croker says or does. Many of them are not aware of his ex istence, and many of those who have a distant acquaintance with him and his political career consider him a blot up on the escutcheon of the democratic party." Senator Clay and his Georgia col leagues were not Inclined to consider Mr. Croker seriously, and showed a disposition to treat him and his sugges tions with total Indifference, in spite of the fact that they are pronounced advocates of Bryan and free silver. They seemed to be more interested in ascertaining who is the "nigger"' in the woodpile at the so-called democratic conference now supposed to be In prog ress at Saratoga. Representative Adamson remarked that he had seen It stated in the news papers that Mr. Croker had been con verted to the anti-expansion doctrine by Tom Reed in midocean. He suggest ed that anti-expansionists might run out a ticket composed of lteed and Cro ker, and call It "the bull and the bully" ticket. Domingo Insurgents Defeated. Porto Plata, Aug. 15.—The govern ment forces under Escobaza defeated the insuregnts. The rout was almost a massacre. The wounded on both sld^s are numerous. The engagement Is con sidered by the government as decisively ending the Jlmlniz uprising. The Colored Women. Chicago, Aug. 15.—The National As sociation of Colored Women today lis tened to a flve-mlnute report on the work accomplished by various organi zations represented. Kindergartens for colored children were also discussed. Tho Venezuela Arbitration. Paris, Aug. 15.—Prof. Soley continued his argument in behalf of Venezuela before the arbitration commission to day. He claimed English jurisdiction never extended beyond the Essequibo river. Cod Flsli tor Porto Kloans. Washington, Aug. 15.—Root has di rected the purchase of 300,000 pounds of codfish for Porto Rlcan sjorm sufferers. Volcano la Still, ij" San Francisco, Aug. 15.—Advices from Honolulu say that volcanic action of ifouu Lot has entire^r ceased. Sentiment In Favor of the Benton County Candidate Becoming More Pronounced The State Central Committee Said To Be Throwing Influence To Cato. Speech of Bryan Tonight May Affect the Nomination—Judge Wade Ineligible. Special to Times-Republican. Des Moines, Aug. 15.—There was a re action yesterday among the democrats in favor of Cato Sells and the conserv ative element of the party. The Sells men were the first on the ground Mon day and they proceeded at once to make hay while the sun shone. The en tire state central committee has been favorable to Mr. Sells from the start and has been urging him as the nomi nee of the party for governor. This powerful Influence had its effect on the delegates who had arrived in the city and as a result a stampede was started for the Vinton man which threatens to down the ultra free silver crowd in the convention tomorrow. Cato Sells still Insists that he is in no sense a candidate for the nomination. When asked whether or not he would accept should it be tendered him he answers by saying that the conditions are impossible and that he has spent no time thinking about impossibilities. Nevertheless his friends were busy all day yesterday urging his nomination and declaring that he alone is the can didate upon whom all elements of the party can unite. The effect of this work Monday was pronounced. Many of the delegations which one week ago were decidedly hostile to Mr. Sells were won over to his support yesterday and delegations which had been Instructed for Bashor have pledged their votes to mm, should a break come in the convention. There are a number of causes which have led to this revulsion of feeling. Foremost among these is a letter written by Mr. Sells to Col. L. M. Martin in 1896, in which the writer declines to be a party to the organization of the gold democ racy In Iowa. In this letter Mr. Sells states that although he had opposed the silver movement In both the state and national convention he was willing to accept his defeat and that he was too good a democrat to bolt his party and aid the opposition. He announced squarely that he should vote for Bryan and Sewall and that he should aid in their election by all means at his com mand. Coupled with this letter came a statement by the state central commit tee denying that Mr. Sells had failed to contribute to the campaign fund of 1896, but asserting that he had made, unsolicited, the largest contribution of that year in Iowa. In addition to the industrious circu lation of this Information, the state central committee pacified the populist element of the party by securing Gen. James B. Weaver as speaker before a large meeting to be held this evening. Gen. Weaver is asked to share the honors with Bryan and to repeat his now famous Colfax argument against expansion. Gen. Weaver and the entire populist contingent have been flattered by this action of the committee and have been made to feel more kindly toward the state central committee and Its candidate for the nomination. But the committee has had even a deeper motive than this In getting Gen. Weaver to deliver his anti-expansion speech. It is hoped by the party man agement that the delegates can be so enthused on the anti-expansion issue that they will overlook the question of 10 to 1 in the convention and be will in"* to give prominence to it instead of to the money question. That is all that the gold element of the party In Iowa have demanded and If they succeed In the artifice they will be able to name the party nominee and secure complete control of the party machinery for the coming campaign. Of Mr. Sens' position on the question there has never been any doubt. From the first he has de nounced the administration for Its con duct of the war in the Philippines. He is as sound as Gen. Weaver himself on that score and if the silver question can be forgotten for the time In the convention Cato Sells will be nomi nated and the state central committee will have accomplished all they hoped at the time of the democratic confer ence last winter. On the money question the conserv atives will be content If they can pre vent the convention from going further than giving a simple Indorsement to the Chicago platform. If there Is no re iteration of the words 16 to 1 they will be satisfied. But this is just what the silver enthusiasts want to Insert In the money plank, and they declare that unless the platform Is full as strong as that adopted at Marshalltown one year ago the party will have been delivered Into the hands of the hated money power. S. H. Bashor and his friends did not reach Des Moines until last evening. When they came they found little of consolation In the situation. The Sells men had been on the field all day and had apparently pre-empted the claim. A few Bashor delegations arrived late In the evening and served to stay the tide, so that hope was not utterly lost. The first thing attempted by the Bashor men was to puncture the Sells boom by the statement that the cen tral committee was behind the whole movement and was but carrying out a preconcerted plan to deliver the conven tion over to the gold bugs. This had some effect, but was not sufficient to accomplish the desired effect in a mo ment. It is generally accepted that either Bashor or Sells will be the nominee. Of Bashor's. candidacy there is no question. He saya that he is a candidate and is not ashamed to admit it. Neither does there seem to be any doubt as to Sells' .wiuinf aea» to accept should be bo able MAESHALLTOWU'. IOWA, TUESDAY. AUGUST 15, 1899 to win without any great effort. The general belief is that if Bashor Is not nominated on the first ballot Sells will win on the second or third, the last bal lot being practically unanimous. Judge M. J. Wade's candidacy Is not taken seriously. In fact, there is no need of its being considered by the con vention, as under the Iowa constitution a district Judge is ineligible to any elective or appointive office during the term for which he was elected. He cannot even resign to accept the nomi nation or appointment to any position except a place on the supreme bench. This fact does not seem to have been appreciated by the supporters of Judge Wade, although It was pretty thor oughly noised about the lobbies last night. It leaves the field practically clear for Bashor and Sells. Candidates for the other nominations are conspicuous only by their absencfl. M. L. Bevis, of Mt. Ayr, is being urged for the nomination as lieutenant gov ernor. No other candidates are In the field and he seems to have clear sailing. No aspirants have as yet been discov ered for the nominations as supreme judge, state superintendent of public instruction or railway commissioner. These will have to develop In the con vention. Practically the whole contest In the convention depends largely upon the character of the address delivered by William J. Bryan tonight. If Mr. Bryan deals principally with the sub ject of expansion and touches but light ly upon the money question the state central committee and Cato Sells will win, but should he reverse this pro ceeding tomorrow's convention will go almost solidly for 16 to 1 and there will be no ambiguity about this plank in the platform. Mr. Bryan will deliver two addresses in the evening, one at the auditorium and the other at the taber nacle. Gen. Weaver will share the pro gram with him at the latter place. No suggestions have been made as yet as to the selection of the permanent chairman of the convention. For the chairmanship of the state central com mittee George Huffman, of the Seventh district Is practically conceded the election. Fred Townsepd, of Albia, the present chairman, has declined re-elec tion to the committee, as he is practi cally assured the nomination to the state central commltee in the Marion Monroe district. S. F. McConnell, of the Bloomfield Democrat, and Attorney ICennlngton, former editor of the Iowa City Democrat, are aspirants for his place. In the Ninth district E. H. Bick ford, of Greenfield, is desirous of re election, but he is opposed by F. A. Bixby, of Council Bluffs. Only Two Candldutos.' Des Moines, Aug. 15.—The major por tion of the delegates to the democratic state convention Is now in the city, coming early to listen to Bryan's ad dress tonight. Sp»ecl i-3. -wiil be deliv ered by Gen. Weaver, J. W. Parsons and Senator Finn tonight at overflow meetings. It is conceded that there are only two candidates for governor to day, Sells and Bashor, both lawyers, with Sells in the lead. Bryan arrived at noon. Hoist's Same Suggested. Boone, Aug_. 15.—The democrats of the central and .'western part of Iowa are planning to present the name of Pro fessor B. P. Hoist as a compromise can didate for governor at the convention on August 16. Mr. Hoist is about 37 or 3S years of age, is a forcible cam paigner and has many friends among all classes of voters. He Is a large land owner of Boone county and has shown much skill as a business manager as well as a campaign and school superin tendent. About thirty years ago the parents of Mr. Hoist settled on a Boone county farm and have been among the most highly respected citizens of the county He has been a democrat all his life and has been true always to the teachings of democratic fathers. He has been the county superintendent of schools the past ten years, while the county If thoroughly republican, often as much as from 1,000 to 1,500, and he has been elected on a straight out and out dem ocratic ticket. His business tack and official efficiency have made him a winner with all classes. Mr. Hoist, a splendid type of the1 German citizenship of Iowa, being as proficient in German as in English, and possesses knowledge of the Scandinav ian, with which people he has many friends. From conviction a bimetalllst, he was an advocate of the election of Bryan in 1S96 and made speeches in eight or ten counties in both English and Ger man. His nomination would mean a united opposition to trusts, rAilltarism and monopoly. He would bring to his support, his friends claim, the laborer and farmer and merit the consideration of Iowa school teachers. In place of being hanJicapped in the canvass, they say, he would bring enthusiasm to the rank and file as a new man in the race, and unhampered by past political en tanglements. In short, he would se cure the warm support of all elements in different parts of the state. Mr. Hoist has been mentioned for superintendent of public instruction, but his friends think he is the imost available man for the head of the ticket and will present his name to the people with that view. His nomination would mean strength- and union for the democrats and all classes opposed to the teachings of the republicans. FOR CAPTAIN NORRIS.

Now Developes That Shooting Was the Result of an Anti-Dreyfus Conspiracy. Enemies of Dreyfus Thought to Be Aiding the Assassin to Escape. Rennes, Aug. 15.—Labori, after a night of terrible agony, is somewhat better this morning. The doctors, how ever, are still unable to probe the wound. Laborl's assailant has not yet been arrested. Labori is now doing so well that the doctors consider him out of danger. He lies on his back, unable to move, but life is returning to the leg which yes terday was thought to be paralyzed. He has no fever and continues to dis cuss the trial. The doctors hope to see him on his feet before the trial is ended. Labori confirms the statement that his pockets were rifled while he was ly ing wounded on the ground yesterday. He had Just fallen when two men ran up. One removed Laborl's coat and the other attempted to steal a wallet in which he carried papers connected with the Dreyfus case. Labori, however, held fast to this and the contents were saved. After he was carried home the pockets in his coat were found to be entirely empty, but, fortunately, they contained no important papers. The man who actually fired the shot, it appears, was only one part of the machinery of conspirators. In spite of the extensive search made for the would-be assassin, he is still at large. The impression is gaining ground that he is being aided by anti-Dreyfus coun try people. Laborl's doctors sent to Paris for ray apparatus to locate the bullet. THE RESXES DRAMA. trolly Crawford Reviews the Events Jiurroundlne Shooting of Labori. Rennes, Aug. 15.—The drama at Rennes grows tragical. That long be calmed town is being stirred into a more violent passion than Paris. The Parisians are laborious. The Bretons are silent and possessed by their belief or idea, whatever It may be. Monday morning at 6 o'clock a well nigh successful attempt was made to kill M. Labori, Vho defended Zola last year and who came here to defend Dreyfus, with M. Demange. The would-be assassin was evidently a crank and looked a workman. The weapon was a revolver, the theater of the crime the Quay Richemont. It was while Labori was going to the court with Col, Picquart and his cousin. M. Gast. When Mme. Labori came up she was sent for a doctor, but not knowing th town she lost a good deal of time. At last she thought of going to the court and asking there for a military surgeon. Drs. Vidal and Reclus were at hand and at once accompanied her. They had the presence of mind to send gendarmes to the barracks for an ambulance with a stretcher and bearers. With deep thankfulness they found that M. Labori could move his iimbs at will. The spine, therefore, was not injured. The ball had entered at the sixth vertebra, behind the thorax. 1't might be Imbedded in the muscles of the back or have penetrated deeper, In juring the lungs. However, the thing was to bear the wounded advocate to the pretty and gay looking villa he had hired for use during the trial, a villa adorned with green slabs of faience, bright with (lowers and in the airy part of Rennes. But why go further into details? The lesson of the event was foreshadowed in my cable last evening. The two oppo site forces are in line of battle. Fanat Isicm has Been appealed., to and has answered the call. Colonel Picquart describes the would be murderer as swarthy and thick-set, resolute, and intelligent-looking. He thinks the man might be a Southron. If so, he must have known tht^ oountry around Rennes. It is a country of small, patchy fields, separated by hedges, which he was evidently familiar with. Apparently he knew places in the thick et into which he could dive and In do ing so remain concealed for some time from a pursuer. The gendarmes that Col. Picquart met Joined in the pursuit, but fleet running and knowledge of the locality enabled the would-be murderer to escape. M. Labori Is young, fair, handsome, and full of lusty life and high spirits. His talents as a speaker are not of the highest order, but no other member of the Paris bar knows better how to use law to defeat its object. He can drive a motor car through the code. Until he pleaded for Zola his luck was unin terrupted. He had an attack of typhoid fever, which greatly weakened him and forced him to neglect business. The Zola affair was a great advertisement, but it brought him no direct profit and created for him endless enemies. He refused the handsome fee the novelist offered, nor does he accept pecuniary reward from Dreyfus. Labori is proud of his wife's beauty. She is equally proud of his good looks and talents and loses no opportunity to hear him plead. She is an Australian, received, as a pianist, her musical edu cation in London, became a player at concerts, made the acquaintance of the deformed but highly gifted Russian pianist Pachmann, married him, had two children, and then fell in love with Labori. The passion was mutual. She and Pachmann were divorced and then she married Labori. The children live with her and find a devoted stepfather in him. Mme. Labori had attended all the public sittings of the Rennes court-mar tial. Her beauty is beyond dispute. She is a striking blonde, and, though her •path has not been always strewn with miiuirti'ii'HtfOlP1'" ggglllgpBBi W8W The Weather. Iowa—Fair tonight, probably followed by showers Wednesday in the west east to south winds. Illinois—Generally fair tonight and Wednesday warmer in the north Wednesday easterly winds. 1 PAGE OVK TELEGRAPH AND GENERAL: Maitre Labori Still Alive. Shooting Result of Conspiracy.

OPPOSITE TREMONT, 1^ Warlike Preparations Being Made Bj Oom Paul In the South Alrioan Republlo.1 as a 19- England Forwards Supplies and Ordera and ia Preparing For Any Eventuality. London, Aug. 15.—The prevalent opin ion In England is that President Kruger is playing a great game of bluff at Pre toria. He held along session yesterday with the secretary of state and attorney general at the telegraph office. He was apparently communicating with the Or ange Free State. Orders have been Issued to the field cornets to supply all unarmed burghers with Mauser rifles free of charge. An answer to Mr. Chamberlain's com munication has been sent, but it is not published. The British government, on its side, is making counter preparations. Quan tities of war stores have been forward ed to Bechuanaland, and the North Lancashire regiment is under orders to proceed there at a moment's notice. Since it is expected the Boers would make a dash for Kimberley in order to cut off the Cape from Rhodesia, the British are preparing to guard the rail way bridge across the Vaal river at Fourteen Streams, where the Boers have a field battery. Kecruiting began yesterday at Cape Town for Capt. Baden Powell's mount ed infantry to serve on the frontier. The first batch left last night for the ren Jezvous. The Buluwayo railway cars have been fitted with Maxim guns. The Daily Mail correspondent learns that £600,000 has been placed to the credit of the paymaster of the imperial forces. A significant fact is the reported re call of Gen. Butler, who expressed him self recently as opposed to war. Gen. Buller is likely to be sent. it is stated the government will not undertake the campaign with less than 4tt,U(Ml men. The military activity must not be ex aggerated, it being merely a part of the strong policy of the British govern ment. The cable last week to the Standard telling of the threatened destruction of Johannesburg was a pure invention for English readers. It was cabled back to the Transvaal and caused amusement, being recognized as a means of intimi- I dating money interests. A Dalziel dispatch is printed in Lon- Dalziel Quotes the Volksstem as sav ing that the military activity on the British side has quite a contrary effect .,n the Boers from what is intended, 'iht.v prefer honorable death in battle to yielding to Chamberlain's demands. All this is cabled by Duiziey's, one of the agencies in the pay of the Boi-r gov ernment. It is merely intended to in timidate the British. It cannot have much effect. The Mail says in an editorial this morning that the time for talking of firmness is past. It is now necessary to practice it. The papers today are so full of the Dreyfus matter that the seriousness of the Transvaal situation is rather over looked, but nearly all unite in urging strong measures. Ueleiise of N'ntnl Cape Town, Aug. 15.—A dispatch from Piiiterinaritzburg, capital of Natal, suys that at a farmers' meeting called there to consider the defense of the colony, it was resolved that the duty of every loyal, ablebodied colonist, able to rise and shoot, was to aid In the defense of the colony against invasion, and it was announced that the volunteers would be but The reported shipment of £400,000 I from London banks is believed to be due to the enormous purchases by the Transvaal governmen of ammunition, provisions, and forage, the supplies ex ceeding those of many European na tions. It is reported that a former officer of the British army is now recruiting among the volunteers here with the object of forming an irregular corps for the protection of Bechuanaland. Major General Sir William Francis Butler, in command of the British troops In South Africa, against whom there Is much fetling because of his alleged Boer sympathies, will be trans ferred, it is understood, to England. Activity of the lioers. Pretoria, Aug. 15.—Despite General Joubert's denial, it is reported that the government made large purchases of mules last Saturday. Monday a crowd besieged the office of the field cornets, demanding rifles on account of the war scare. The Volksraad has amended the Gronwet (constitution of the South African republic), compelling persons who are not burghers to co-operate with them in the defense of the na tional territory and the suppression of rebellion. Convinced Tlmt War Must Come. Johannesburg, Aug. 15.—The Standard and Digger's News says: "The Boers are convinced that there is nothing for it now but the arbitrament of arms." All sorts of warlike rumors are In circulation. It is alleged that the field cornets have received orders to supply all unarmed burghers with rifles gratui tously and to substitute Mausers for Martini-Henrys wherever the latter are still in use. TRANSPORT'S EXCITING VOYAGE. Ran on a Coral Keef and Narrowly Escaped Capture by Filipinos. San Francisco, Aug. 15.—The United States transport Centennial arrived here from Manila Sunday after a most exciting round trip. She narrowly missed a couple of typhoons, was ashore on a coral reef, where tha1 entire crew barely escaped capture ay the 1M^M)JttJu Filipinos one of the Bailors was killed by a parting hawser and one of the quartermasters was stabbed by a col ored cook. Because of the stabbing Charles Wil son, of the Centennial galley staff, ar rived here in Irons, while Herman Brevy, the transport's quartermaster, will have a soujourn In some hospital until he recovers from the effects of the cook's knife. During the lightening process neces sary to get the Centennial off the reef near Manila on her outward trip a quantity of government stores to the value of $13,000 had to be jettisoned and were eagerly appropriated by the Filipinos, who swarmed about the reef and made more than one attack for the purpose of capturing the vessel and crew. Upon her return trip to this port the Centennial brought a number of in valided officers and men from various regiments. The wives of officers are also on board. Maj. B. Lockwood, Capt. Kell and Lieut. Hawkins are Invalided home. Lieut. Parker has been promot ed to a first lieutenancy in the Sixth cavalry ana comes back to go in his troop. Lieut. J. B.

Washington, Aug. 15.—The monthly statement of the imports and exports of the United States issued by the treas ury bureau of statistics shows that dur ing the month of July the imports of merchandise amounted to J59.925.178, of which nearly $26,000,000 was free of duty.

Antl-Goebel Ticket, Lexington, Ky., Aug. 15.—A new can didate for honors sought by John Young Brown, candidate for nomination of governor on the anti-Goebel ticket, is James D. Black, of Barbourville, Ky. Wolfe county instructed for him, but it is said his name will not be placed be for the convention. Hotels here are all called on for ac commodations for Wednesday's conven tion and will be overtaxed- to take care of the delegates. Major Johnston, chairman of the state central commit tee, wll coll to order, but the temporary chairmanship is in doubt. Capt. James B. lay. the lading organizer of the an tl-Goebel forces, says the anti-Goebel movement is gaining strength. Indications from counties that have selected delegates are that it Is the will of antl-Goebc-lltes to name a full ticket, the fact that nobody Is generally sent to the frontier in the event of war I discussed for the various places below and thai the rifle associations would be left to defend their own districts. lieutenant governor leads to the conclu sion that the convention will nominate only these two In order to minimize any friction arising from the selection of candidates for the various offices. Itiickner I)enounco» (ioebcllsm. T^cxington, Ky., Aug. 1 r.—Gen. Simon Bolivar Rourkner, who was on the na tional democratic ticket in 189(1 with Gen. John M. Palmer, and who has served this state as governor, in an In terview said that William Goebel was like Robespierre, and that the Bouis 111 convention which nominated him was unlike any held since the famous French conventions In 1792-3 that the credential commmlttee of the Doulsvllle convention acted as the guillotine and chopped off the heads of 312 duly elect ed delegates and placed In their stead men who did the will of Goebel. He de clared that Goebel's election law makes it possible for his election commission to refuse to count the vote of any par ticular county. In speaking of W. J. Bryan Indorsing Goebel's candidacy, he said it was per fectly natural that Bryan should es pouse the cause of a nominee who had secured his position by fraudulent methods, as he himself had profited by the unseating of the regular delegation from Nebraska in 1R96, and the seating of the contesting delegation, of which he was a member, made it possible for him to be a presidential candidate. He Insists that the election of Goebel will render the ruin of the democratic party in Kentucky complete. Dclgnan Again on Duty. Boston, Aug. 15.—Osborn W.

Raw lins was shot directly through the heart, and also through the body from the right side, and died in Ave minutes. Daniels was shot in the upper part of the abdomen, the ball coming out at the center of the back, close to the spine. He was pronounced dead in about an hour. Althought twelve shots were fired the three men tioned were all that took effect. The duel took place at tho intersec tion of Main and Poydras streets, and wildly fired bullets shattered the large plateglass windows in the American National Bank and in the wholesale store of Kneplef. jeweler. The cause of the tragedy is not clearly known, llaw iins had been on the police force eleven years Monday. Daniels was formerly on the regular force, but was dis charged about three years ago. Since then he has been special policeman, do ing watchman's duty on the American National Bank. He has frequently ex pressed. the opinion that the influence of Rawlins and his friends was behind his being discharged from the regular police service. His statements reached the ears of Rawlins, and ill feeling re sulted. but no one considered it of a serious character. Rawlins was off duty last night and got considerably under the influence of liquor. He and a hack driver ivere standing at Main and Poydras streets. Rawlins saw Daniels on the sidewalk opposite him, and said loudly to the hack driver: "There's the cowardly Daniels walked over to where Rawlins stood and asked:, "What was that you said?"

That favor of it. What is to be our future course in is the question. These fellows who dub themselves antl expanslonists, don't know. They Bay give the islands a protectorate, but what they mean by this they will not state, and I don't know. It makes no dlffeernce whether the United States had a right to buy these islands, or whether Spain had a title which she could dispose of. The fact remains that we did buy them, and are now there for the purpose of giving the natives an opportunity to rule themselves. It may be that our arguments are rather strong, but it is apparently the only way to treat with those people. If the United States proposes to hold the is lands—and only future developments can settle that—we must, at any rate, interfere In the local government if we hope to treat with foreign powers. "Some theorist advances the proposi tion that we sell the islands. This would be contrary to all our traditions, in the first place, and, then again, who could we sell them to? As far as I have heard, it would have to be to some mon archy, and the people of the United States would stamp with unanimous disapproval the sale of a country and its people. "No, I do not care to criticise Gen. Otis, but I will say that the policy of the United States in the Philippines has not been aggressive enough. The ad ministration, however, seems to be anxious to put an end to the war, and I believe a more vigorous campaign will be waged against the rebels from now on. This war Is unpopular, and I be lieve if it continues six months it will materially hurt Mr. McKlnley's chances for renomination, If not entirely destroy them."

Corn Making Rapid Advancement— Brighton Editors Arrested For Libel—Short Specials, Des Moines, Aug. 15.—The regular weekly weather and crop bulletin was Issued today as follows: The highest temperature of the sea son was recorded during the past week and this, with exceHsive humidity, made the weather conditions oppressive on the 9th, 10th and 11th. The average for the week was but little above nor mal. The rainfall was unequally dis tributed, the larger amounts being re corded in the southern and central dis tricts, but It was generally ample for the needs of all growing crops. In considerable portions of the state the wet weather was not favorable for stacking or threshing and oats in the shock received additional injury from continued dampness. In the northern and portions of the central sections conditions were more favorable for se curing oats, wheat and barley, and fair progress was made. The corn crop Is making rapid ad vancement toward maturity. It Is re ported in all stages of growth, ranging from first appearance of silk and tassels to well filled and hardening roasting ears. The ..early planted and well cul tivated fields will be safe from harm by frost about the 15th of September. Probably 60 psr cent of the whole crop in the state will be entirely safe with seasonable weather on or before Sep tember 15. With warm and dry weather the bulk of the late planted corn may be well matured by September 30. But it will require unusually favorable weather conditions to make sound mer chantable corn of all the late planted portion of the crop. The rank growth of stalks will necessitate a protracted period of dry, warm weather to bring the grain to full maturity. SUB-EDITORS ARRESTED. Kdltor Heacock'» Assistants Take a Cue From Ills Teachings—Arrest Follows. Washington, Aug. 15.—A warrant has been issued for the arrest of A. B. En dlcott. brother-in-law of C. C. Heacock, and the son of C. C. Endlcott, and Guy Heacock, who have been running the Brighton Enterprise during the time C. C. Heacock Is serving a term in Jail for libel. Messrs. Endlcott and Guy Heacock are charged with libel. Last Saturday's copy of the Brighton Enter prise contains an account of the Hea cock case at the request of the United Christian party, on whose ticket C. C. Heacock is running for governor of Iowa. The article contains a reitera tlon of libelous matter for which Hea cock was convicted. The Brighton Enterprise article con tains a full review of the case, of which the following is a part: "While serving a six months' Jail sen tence in Washington county for ex pressing his Just opinions, C. C. Hea^ cock was, on July 4, 1S99, nominated for governor of Iowa by the state conven tion of the United Christian party, in session at Des Moines. "In asking public support. It Is proper to publish some of the principal facts which led up to his imprisonment, in volving, as they do, the fundamental principles of the new party. 'Mr. Heacock is, and for more than seventeen years has been, editor of the Brighton Enterprise, and as such has advocated bible Christianity from the standard, "What would Jesus do?" He accepts Jesus as the guide to follow in all the relations of life, business, social and political, as well as religious. This practical teaching, and rebuke of sin raised up a host of vindictive enemies against him, "Scribes, Pharisees, hypo crites," but he turned not back, but took up his cross and followed Jesus. "C. C. Heacock is in Jail for charging a certain witness with perjury. This charge of perjury was based upon the testimony given by this witness before a grand Jury in 1893, as shown by the official records. On this evidence that grand Jury found an Indictment, but at the trial of the case the testimony of this witness was' found to be grossly false and the defendant was acquitted After the trial, in 1894, a Washington paper said it was "evident that enemies had used the machinery of justice in an effort to vent their spite." Mr. Hea cock, who had a personal knowledge of the facts, afterwards published the particular manner in which "the ma chlnery of Justice" had been prostitut ed to spite, as the people had a right to know. For this publication, the truth of which has never been disputed, Mr. Heacock was lined $600, and when it was found that punishment had not changed his opinion (and no one else's) this "machinery of justice," so-called again ground him through its mill and sent him to jail for six months, with strict orders to be suppressed and not to tell it on them. "His Imprisonment is the culmlnat Ing act of a conspiracy In which those engaged have, during a series of years "used the machinery of Justice" to ac compllsh their avowed purpose, which was to "down Heacock" and ruin him socially, politically and financially, to rob his wife and children of their own property as well and then send the hus band and father to prison and silence his pen. Their original motives (as in the Dreyfus case) were envy and spite, and the libel suits were the effort they made to suppress any publication of the factB, being but a frantic effor to save themselves from exposure, Zola was convicted of criminal libel In an effort to save the conspirators of tht. French army." Usccoin Republicans. Special to Times-Republican.

Sadioal Action Taken by the Board Of Review in the Matter of Livestock Assessment. Completion of the Board of Review's Labors In Equalization of Taxes. Varied Valuations Evened Up For the Different Counties—In crease and Decrease. Des Moines, Aug. 15.—Secretary Camp, of the board of review, has just completed tabulating and verifying the result of the board's labors in the equalization of taxation over the state. There was little change In real es tate valuation from that turned in by the county assessors, but the change in live stock valuation in some counties was enormous. In Audubon county the increase in the valuation of three-year old steers amounted to 80 per cent in Des Moines the valuation of yearling colts was Increased 85 per cent. The changes ranged from these fig ures down to decreases as great as 22 per cent in one instance. Taken as a whole, however, there is a considerable net increase over the state at large and the board's work will result not only In more fairly distribut ing the burden of taxation, but in a material addition to the state's revenue. Owing to the extreme and frequently absurd differences in the valuation of live stock by the assessors of different counties the equalization of the live stock assessment proved the most dif ficult task of all, and that of cattle the most difficult of the live stock. The av erage assessment of the state for cows is 29.52 for bulls, 33.95 for feeding cattle, 37.28 for three-year-old steers, 37.60 for two-year-old steers, 32.65 for yearling steers, 23.71 for two-year-old heifers, 24.39, and for yearling heifers, 18.60. After much deliberation the board finally concluded to raise the assess ment in each county of a district which was below the average for that district to within 5 per cent of the average for the district and to reduce the assess ment for the counties above the aver age:., This leaves a difference of 10 per cent to allow for local conditions of the live stock and different valuations by the assessors, between the counLies of each district, and is probably the most equitable plan that could be devised, although It is far from satisfactory. The new equalization of the assess ment of horses, mules, sheep and hogs was concluded on a different basis. It was deemed unnecessary to divide the state into separate districts for this purpose, as it was not considered that there Is such great difference in value in the different parts of the state. The assessment of this stock was equalized by establishing an average for the state at large. The following table shows the In creases and decreases: Real estate.. Heifers, 1 year.. Heifers, 2 years Cows Steers, 1 year Steers, 2 year Steers, 3 year.. Cattle in feeding Colts, 1 year Colts, 2year.. Mules Hogs Sheep A. V.

Saturday Johnnie went to Stratford to do some trading. A trip to Stratford was quite an event in Johnnie's life, a savanna of dissipation in a wilder ness of work. It is seldom that John nie ventured so far from home. It was unfortunate that he took the journey at this time, for when he returned in the evening he found that he had had Increase.

We believe that the present outlook for fall trade was never brighter, and have anticipated the wants of our trade in cooks, ranges, and heaters, by placing our orders early for two cars of these goods, over 200 stoves at low prices. The iron market is 20 per cent higher than a year ago, making an advanced cost on these goods at from $2.00 to $6.00 on a stove. Our prices have not advanced and we are selling Stewart's cooks, ranges and heaters at same price as a year ago. The improvements in manufacturing and railroad building stimulates the market, and the prospect of old prices is very distant, hence our future purchases must be higher.

The democratic state convention will assemble in Des Moines tomorrow. The call provides for nearly 2,000 delegates and this fact and the prevailing good times, together with the desire of dem ocracy to know what it ought to do, will probably draw a somewhat larger crowd to the capital than usual. It meets in a very auspicious period of re publicanism, if not of democracy. It could unit much in stale affairs to com mend. if it would, but it will probably pass them by to find fault with some minor features. As the party claims From present appearances the party Cato Sells they will make a strong ap- peal to all opposing elements. Still, ing chiefly of opposition to expansion and of criticism of the republican ad ministration. The republicans of Iowa will welcome any contest it may offer or any plat form it can frame, relying confidently on the good sense and wisdom of the people in the election to follow. MERRITT MAY SUCCEED OTIS, Whether Gen. Otis is to be relieved of the command in the Philippines or not, there Is an impression in Washing ton -that Gen. Merritt is likely to suc ceed him. It is the opinion of many of the war department officials that the new secretary, Eliliu Root, is really anxious to have Gen. Merritt take com mand, though he is lotli to displace Gen. Otis in view of his excellent record under adverse circumstances. It is said that both President McKlnley and Secretary Root have the greatest con fidence in Gen. Merritt and it is be lieved that with htm at the head of the army and Gen.

In order to be successful In building up a foreign market our exports miist be continuous. The department says further that American butter can only be introduced abroad successfully and a demand cre ated for It with a full recognition of its merits after a period of perisistent ef fort. Fortunately for our country and the great west English dealers are becom ing more and more interested in it, and are now trying to secure it in greater quantities. The cost of transportation on experi mental efforts on refrigerated vessels has been less than 2% cents per pound from Iowa. This increased demand will mean a great deal to the Hawkeye state if our dairymen will make a strong effort to meet it. PRESS COMMENT. The Ottumwa Courier notices that "as the time of the democratic conven tion draws nigh, our brethren of the bogus reform party begin to show signs of uneasiness. This is natural.

The larger portion of these troops will be sent to the Philippines, and It Is antici pated that at least 70,000 men will be under the command of Gen. Otis before the end of the rainy season. It is the Intention of the president to end hostil ities in the Philippines before congress convenes so as to prevent an outbreak on the part of the antl-imperlatists and silence the criticisms of the democrats. He would then recommend the reduc tion of the army instead of asking for an increase in the fighting force," This is certainly a policy that would meet with approval.

In the South within the last five months $17,000,000 of new capital has been invested in cotton mills. ..W Richard Croker, of Tammany, has re versed his position and now opposes ex pansion. His first was a frank and patriotic expression to the effect that our soldiers should not give up a foot of territory they had taken. His last is a political opinion to aid his disjointed party. Judge Charles T. Dickinson, of Tek amah, who has been four years on the district bench, is a leading candidate for the republican nomination for the su preme judgeship In Nebraska. The character of the work done by some of the clubs of colored women, which are now holding their national convention in Chicago, will be surpris ing to people who are not thoroughly posted on the subject.

The New Bedford, 1 Mass., club supports a Home for the Aged, the inmates of which belong to both races. The New Orleans club con ducts night schools, sewing schools, and a sanitarium and training school for nurses. In several other cities similar work is carried on with great success.

This change has been brought about by the peculiar features of the mulct law. First—What was known as the prohi bition counties, i. e., where the law was enforced, now saloons are not forced on them by the mulct law against the wish of the majority. Put it another way, prohibition still prohibits, if the prohibitionist is in earnest and active. Then turn to the "wet counties" and the river towns, and the mulct law Is so well liked that the democratic party does not care to make It a local or stau issue. Perhaps in the coming conven tion at Des Moines they may put up straw (whisky) man, but with It as an Issue they dare not go before the peo ple of Iowa. As has been remarked editorially in these columns the curse of liquor drink ing is still with us and Is a proper sub ject for agitation and discussion. The writer had great hopes of Rev. Mr. Ahrams. He was not a republican, a democrat or a prohibitionist he was an enforcer. The Looker-On heard him say so. And we have an enforcement league in Iowa. That's so, because a good brother sent the writer the con stitution and by-laws. But what are they doing? The harvest Is ready where are the laborers? Any number of saloons In Iowa are running free lunches, have screens before the win dows, sell to minors and drunkards and break the law in other respects. The writer believes in the mulct law as the one best temperance bit of legislation ever enacted In Iowa. And to make the law a temperance measure It must be strictly enforced. And Mr. Abrams will have the best citizens of the state with him if he continues his work on the lines of the enforcement league's con stitution and by-laws. But If he goes into persecution of parties who try to live within the details of the law and fails to prosecute the open and contin uous vioiaters of the mulct law then he will find "his occupation gone." And the law Itself uninforced will soon be laid on the legal shelf where our anti trust and combine law reposes. CU/° MR HENDERSON AS SPEAKER. LPhiladelphia Saturday Post.] David Bremner Henderson, of Iowa, will find himself very soon the most powerful man in the United States, barring President McKlnley. Apart from his absolute control over legisla tion, he will enjoy enormous influence and many advantages. He will draw a salary of $8,000 a year—$3,000 more than an ordinary congressman gets—and a large and handsomely furnished office adjoining the chamber of the house will be provided for his exclusive occupancy At the door, to Inspect visitors and keep out cranks, will sit a messenger, an ex sallor, who has performed the same duty under seven previous speakers, and this man, paid out of the treasury, will be his own personal servant. Beneath the office, on the floor below, Is a private dining room, which Mr. Henderson will have all to himself, nobody else, save such guests as he may choose to Invite, being permitted to en ter it at any time. There he will eat his luncheon, brought from the house cafe close by.

LOOKER-ON IN IOWA l''or t.he Tlmes-HoDUblicaii. Lake Park, Aug. 14.—It is surprising, considering the burning question it was I a few years ago, how little the people of mixers of appetir.lng brac- th" country- has been f°r yil,lTa- stained Chi l*lS I account, by the committee of Which Mr. HaIe Is now chairman. The doorkeeper, are elected by a caucus of the majority party, but Mr. Henderson will control the appointment of the assistant door keopern. Likewise he oan employ or discharge the barbers who cut the hair and trim the whiskers of representa tives at the capltol. As a matter of fact, however, the speaker does not ln terfere with such matters of petty pat ronage as a rule, and a story la told of a severe snub which Mr. Reed adminis tered to Congressman Walker, of Mas sachusetts, when the latter complained of an elevator man and requested his discharge. "My dear Mr. Walker," repHed Mr. Reed, with his customary drawl. "I re gret to be obliged to refuse what you you mention lg only employe of the house whom hove appolnted of perBonal inc„nat,0n because on my own part." It Is probable that Mr. Henderson will make few changes in the offlces which are in the speaker's gift, prefer ring to let the present incumbents re main. Most important among them are the places of parliamentary clerk and time clerk. The former holds a very peculiar position In relation to the house, being, in fact, its recognized au thority as to rules of procedure. He is otherwise known as the speakers' clerk and the speaker calls upon him for points and precedents whenever a dis pute arises as to parliamentary propri eties. He sits at the right of the speak er, just below the latter's desk. Behind him is placed the time clerk, who notes the time occupied by members speak ing on the floor on occasions when de bate is limited. He has a little round clock which ticks off the seconds, and when a gentleman's time is up he noti fies the speaker by raising a finger or otherwise. Then the gavel falls with a bang, and the member must stop, though in the middle of a sentence. Mr. Henderson will be a sort of chief of police for the house. It gentlemen persistently refuse to behave them selves, he will call upon the sergeant- at-arms, who will bring out the mace, which is a tort of parliamentary fetich the symbol of authority. Then, If members still decline to be good, evin cing a riotous Inclination, the sergeant at-arms will forcibly take hold of them and compel them to be seated. Further reslstance\by them will necessitate their arrest and a summons before the bar of the house but in no case can they be put in jail. A congressman, during ses sions, is exempt from arrest, except for a felony during recesses he may be Imprisoned like any ordinary cltisen. Formerly the speaker, having tlrst obtalhed unanimous conscnt, could grant the use of the hall of the house for lectures, entertainments or any other such purpose, but under the pres ent rules this Is forbidden. Parnell, when visiting the United States, en Joyed the last privilege of this kind that was granted. Mention should be made of the fact that a card signed' by Mr. Henderson will admit anybody to the gratuitous privilege of a bath in the superb bathrooms in the basement of the capltol, where the tubs are of mar ble and the servants in charge are skilled masseurs. rr A KANSAS CONGRESSMAN'S DK BUT. Kansas politicians are enjoying a good story at the expense of Bill Reed er, the new republican congressman from the Sixth district of that state, according to the Kansas City Times. He went to Washington early this sum mer, and Joe Bristow, of Kansas, the fourth assistant postmaster general, agreed to show him around and put him on to the ropes. The first place they went was into the office of Charles Emory Smith, the postmaster general. They were introduced and chatted for a while, and as Reeder arose to go he said: "I beg your pardon, but I didn't catch your name." '"Smith," repHed the postmaster gen eral. "And what position might you hold?" "'I am postmaster general." "Ah, yes," said Reeder, as he backed out awkwardly. Bristow was blushing like a school girl. Then they went to the war depart ment, and Mr. Bristow took the Kansan Into Secretary Alger's private office. Reeder put his hat down on the desk in front of Secretary Alger after the In troduction and the three chatted for a while. When they started Reeder near ly stampeded Bristow by asking the secretary "What did you say your name was?" "Alger—Russell A. Alger." "And," continued the new congress man, with the air of a man yet unen lightened, "'what are you secretary of?" "Secretary of war," replied Alger, truthfully, for he was then. During the seance JJristow stood first on one foot and then on the other. Before leaving the state, war and navy building, they ran Into Vice Presi dent Hobart. There was another intro duction. and this tlmt he remembered the name. Reeder, still thirsting for knowledge, asked: '"Do you reside here In the city, Mr. Hobart?" "Part of the time," replied Mr. Ho bart. "but my home is in New Jersey." "Well, I'm mighty glad to have saw you." replied Reeder, with cordiality typical of the boundless west. Later he asked Bristow, "What does that feller do?" and when told that he was vice president, and therefore didn't do any thing, he was greatly surprised. Then they encountered Senator Cul lom. and after the introduction Reeder said: "I didn't catch your name, senator?" "Mr. Uullorn," replied the senator. "What state might you be from?" "Illinois," said the venerable senator, modestly. Glad I seen you," continued Reeder. 'Do you know, you look like the picture of Abraham Lincoln?" Before the Illinois senator could re cover from his astonlsminent Joe Bris tow had him by the arm and was lead ing him back to the postoffice depart ment. They had an engagement to go to the white house together, but Bris tow pleaded to be excused on the ground that he had a tremendous amount of work to do. In reality, he was afraid he would ask Mr. McKlnley what state he is from, and what he is president of.

OUT OP THE SPRING* CHICKEN CLASS. [Waterloo Reporter.] A. B. Cummins has become a grand father by the birth of a son to his daughter, Mrs. H. A. Rawson.

[Shenandoah Sentinel.] Among all those who went from Shenandoah to hear Bryan, at Clarin da, Tim Earwood's baby received the warmest recognition from the man who ran for president. The proud father pushed forward to where Mr. Bryan was bending over the platform and holding the baby up, told him its name was Bryan Earwdod. The silver lead er took the little one in his arms, ca ressed and kissed it and handed it back with the gift of a silver dollar. The in cident was one that baby will remember all his life—that is, if he was old enough to apprehend it all. If not, his parents will not forget it and count it a great event. NEW WAY OP RAISING HOGS. [Waterloo Reporter, 12.] A new way of raising hogs for profit occurred at Rath Packing Company's plant this morning, when. W. L. Rohr son, a son of Henry Itohrson, a farmer, laltered a scale check to increase the revenue from a load of hogs he had Just marketed. Rohrson was arrested and arraigned before Justice ,T. A. Mears, charged with uttering a forged instru ment. He was bound over to the grand Jury and his bonds were fixed at $700. Young Rohrson's load of hogs weighed 1,395 pounds and he sold them to the packing company for $4.15 per hundred. He was given a scale ticket by Cy. Corson, the welghmaster, with instruc tions to take it to the office, where he would receive his money. He presented the ticket to Fred Rath, who drew a check for the amount. Rohrson's ac tions and his haste to leave the office after securing the check aroused Mr. Rath's suspicions, and he followed the man out and demanded to see the check. He then took the weight ticket to Cor son and found the amount had been raised to defraud the company out of $8.30. Rohrson at once confessed and his arrest followed. FUTURE OF STREET PAVING. [Dubuque Times.] Another case of easy conacience on the subject of special assessments has developed at Ottuinwa. Ia., where the Chicago Asphalt Company has entered suit against forty-five abutters to col lect special assessments for the Im provement of a street. Tne abutters admit the Improvement is an excellent one, but the recent decision of the fed eral supreme court in an Ohio case has encouraged them to believe that they can escape payment, leaving the Chi cago contractors to collect their money from the city if they can or go without. Before this case can run the gauntlet of the courts the legislature will have amended the existing law by providing, among other things, that the cost of U. special Improvement shall be distribut ed in proportion to benefits. City coun cils will assume that this law will au thorize them to distribute the cost ac cording to frontage, Just as they have been doing, except in rare cases where this method would manifestly not con stitute an assessment In proportion to benefits, and that in all such cases the burden of proving the injustice of the assessment will rest on the abutter. If the courts shall sustain this view ail will be well. Otherwise councils will be compelled to divide the cities into districts and to tax the cost of improvements in each district to all the property within it. It has been sug gested that the entire cost should be thrown upon the city and paid out of the general fund but this suggestion comes from lawyers who have reflected only upon the decisions of the courts and have given no thought to the con sequences which would follow such a system. If it were adopted the levy for road purposes would be run up to the legal limit and apportioned among the wards without regard to the actual needs of each and a few years of this would precipitate a demand upon the legislature for a law reducing the max imum levy for road purposes and em powering each ward or district to make an additional levs" of Its own for im provements to be made within the ward or district. City councils are now au thorized to establiph the district system but are not compelled to do so. In the Interest of economy and justice the iaw should be made mandatory whether the courts uphold the special assess ment system or not. The council's au thority to make a liberal levy for the road fund and liberal expenditures of It Is always abused and politics always enters into the distribution of the fund. A law taxing Improvements in each dis trict to the district would make the taxpayers of each a force on the side of economy whereas today every district struggles to secure improvements nec essary and unnecssary at the expense of the city In general.

A BASKET OF EGGS. Eggs can be cooked in more than 500 In some Swiss villages eggs are in cir culation in lieu of money. A female salmon, when fully matured, will lay 20,0'XI.OOO eggs per annum, A good hen will lay in her lifetime, av eraging 3V4 years, from COO to 700 eggs. The moa, the extinct wingless bird of New Zealand, was 15 feet high and used to lay eggs ten inches long. An Atlantic liner on each trip from Liverpool to New York carries over 20, 000 eggs, which are consumed by its pas Beugers. The Chinese honor their guests by placing before them the oldest eggs ob tainable, which are considered their greatest delicacy. An ostrich's egg. which weighs three pounds, is equal in bulk to about 30 hens' eggs and is amply sufficient to provide a meal for ten men. Sir John Lubbock, who once kept a queen bee for 15 years, tested its eggs and stated they were as fertile at that age as when tested 12 years before. A hen's egg contains as much alimen tary matter .is IVi pounds of cherries or grapes, 1],£ pounds of apples, 4 pounds of pears or 2 pounds of gooseberries. The approximate weight of the compo nent parts of an egg are as follows: The shell, one-tenth white, six-tenths yolk, three-tenths. Egg, like fresh meat, con tains 73 per cent of water. In 1847, the year that the Cochin China fowl was introduced into England, its eg were in such demand that when sold the eggs were placed in one scale and guineas in the other, each egg liter ally selling for its weight in gold. THE HONEY HUNTERS. Nothing is gained by feeding bees when there are plenty of flowers. Wheu bees build comb in their natural way, au excess of drones is usually pro duced. No drones are reared in a colony until it becomes very strong and the combs are well filled. Combine beekeeping With fruit grow ing, and yot can get two crops from the same land. Bees have been known to swarm in a box hive wheu the hive was only three fourths full. While honey is much improved in flavor by remaining in the hive a few weeks after it is finished, it will be darker in color and less attractive. for Albia, where he will remain for a, second time, it is needful to take out all short stay on business, after which he will leave for the south for a business stay of a weeek or two.

You can always please a woman by guessing under her age. If you do not need sympathy, some people can be of assistance to you. People begin to "watch' in three months after death. A man never makes a guess at his sisters' ages that he doesn't cause a family row. A man has not only to fight against the possibility of what a woman finds out, but also what she dreams about him. Every woman occasionally curls her hair and starts out fiercely to be happy in spite of fate. (By fate is meant an unappreciative husband.)—Atchison Globe. THE TROTTING RECORD.

Dig for a livelihood, but do not omit to burninh your intellect and elevate your thoughts.—Dr. Decornet, French author and Scientist. POULTRY POINTERS. :Give one feed of sound grain daily.

Disinfect the poultry house thoroughly with carbolic acid. Nests lined with tobacco leaves pre vent ail trouble with lice. The best layers will nearly always be found to be the active ones. In building a poultry house make all the internal arrangements movable so that when the house is to be cleaned they may readily be taken out. The guinea is one of the best of for agers. It seeks its food without scratch ing and not only eats the seeds of nox ious plants, but is very quick and very successful in destroying weeds. When chickens droop, look sleepy, have a rouch appearance, refuse food and do not grow, look closely on the heads, necks and vents for large body lice—not the little red mites.—St. Louis Republic.

The defalcation of another bank cash ier who had used the funds of the bank, a widow with- which he had the opportunity to handle her husband's almost entirely without supervision, in I stock speculations, raises the question whether any cashiers who do this sort of thing get on the right side of the mar fcet.—Journal of Commerce. RAILWAY COUPLINGS. Philadelphia collected $102,000 as taxes on trolley company dividends last year. The maximum weight of freight loco motives is now 218,000 pounds, against 100,000 pounds 15 years ago. The Canadian Pacific railway is about to Introduce a fast service across the con tinent. Vancouver from Montreal is to be reached in about 100 hours. Twelve systems of mechanical traction are used on the street railways of Paris. None of them is a cable.

French designers continue to make all sorts of pretty effects in the use of black velvet ribbon. All shades of yellow seem to gain ape* cial favor as the season advances, partic ularly in the realm of millinery. The very fashionable improved prin cess style is much used this season for underslips, this style of underdress sav ing all the care of belt adjustments and fastenings. Toile, which is a new kind of silk and linen fabric, very cool, sneer and soft and very popular in Paris,-makes pretty deinidress gowns, hyacinths and bluebell blue, pink and ecru being the favorite colors. The new silk and lace stocks are an ex tremely dainty and comfortable fashion, for in hot summer days even the most rigid devotees of tailor styles is glad enough to substitute them for the stiff linen collar. Lace was never more popular than it is today. Formerly it supplied a trim ming only now it also forms gowns, jackets, overdresses, polonaises, waists and gowns entire, which constitute the most beautiful and costly of fashionable robes. Black bonnet silks of fine luster are lined with white taffeta Soyeux, with ae sessories of the white silk overlaid with black chantilly insertions and with fur ther decorations of black velvet straps and rosettes, and en 6uite with every full dress toilet is a boa, many varieties of which are to be had.—New York Post. LAW POINTS. A deposit of contract in the postoffice addressed to the party to whom it is to be delivered is a final delivery. Persons dealing with an assumed ngent ore bound at their peril to ascertain the fact of agency and the extent of his au thority. Creditors for whose benefit an assign ment has been made may nevertheless prosecute their claims to judgment and levy execution. A transfer of the firm assets by two in solvent members of the firm to the other partner, though for a sufficient considera tion, is fraudulent as to the creditors of the firm. The measure of damages for breach of contract for t.he sale of goods ia the dif ference between the contract price and the market value of the articles at the time when they should have been deliv ered. HINTS ON SEA BATHING. After dressing take a brisk walk for half au hour. On entering the water the skin should be comfortably warm. August and September are the best months for sea bathing. A first bath should not last longer thun a quarter of an hour. Never remain longer than half an hour in the water, however well bathing may suit you. If bathing is found to be invigorating, bathe once every day, but on no account ofteuer. If feeling chilly, warm yourself pre vious to entering the sea by a few min utes' brisk walk. Boys and girls should be enrl.v taught to swim. This exercise expands the chest more than any other. After the bath a pleasing glow over the whole surface of the body should oa feli and the appetite increased. If coldness iind lassitude be felt, under no circumstances should you continue sea bathing. These symptoms may arise from entering the water while the temperature of the body is too low.

I mentioned to him that 1 had been Blmllarly troubled and that Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy had cured me He bought a bottle of It from the drug gist here and informed me that one dose cured him, and he Is again at work.

Unhappy Couples Seeking Release From Murrlnge Bonds. Just so, sure as the 15th of the month prior to the term of the district court rolls around, new cases begin to be filed. There is hardly any exception known to the rule and for the Septem ber term of court there were five cases filed, on record Monday. Three of these were for divorce. Mrs. Josephine Bal llnger brings an action against her hus band, Edgar Balllnger, whom she mar ried at Oskaioosa Sept. 20, 1897. She claims that since that time she has de meaned herself as a faithful and dutiful wife that the defendant has neglected and forgotten, his marriage vows and, since his marriage, has become addicted to the use of intoxicating liquors so as to become an habitual drunkard also that defendant has been guilty of cruel an Inhuman treatment as to endanger the life of plaintiff. Mrs. Balllnger prays for a decree of divorce and aBks the custody of her little son, Walter William, and that she be known here after by her maiden name, Josephine Wilson. The marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Balllnger will be remembered as some what sensational, the couple having eloped to Oskaioosa and were wedded without the knowledge of the young woman's father, a resident of this city. Mrs. Mary Clark asks a divorce from her husband, Miles R. Clark. Mr. and Mrs. Clark were married in this county March 20, 1870, and have two children, Florence Ethel, aged 12, and Grace, aged 10. She accuses her husband of neglecting his marriage vows and being guilty of cruel and inhuman treatment. She asks to be awarded the care of the children and such temporary alimony as the court may deem just and equita ble. S. T. McColgtn prays for legal sepa ration from his wife, Ida May McCol gin, whom he married at Rhodes March 30, 1893. The plaintiff alleges that he and the defendant lived together a husband and wife until January 2, 189P. at which time the defendant wilfully deserted and abandoned his home, without fault on the part of the plain tiff. The petition also alleges that since leaving his home Mrs, McColgln has lived In adulterous relations with one John McColgln in Des Moines. F. H. Boucher filed a petition Monday afternoon In which he asks judgment in the sum of 1200 and costs of suit. In cluding an attorney's fee of $20. on a promissory note made to Mrs. Clara Edgar on November 19, 1895. The original face of the note was *171. which was to be paid in monthly payments of $5 and drawing Interest at 8 per cent. Edmund P. Thompson, of State Cen ter, files an action against Mike Mc Carthy, Mrs. Mary Jordan, Margaret Roundy and F. \V. Hargrave, adminis trator of the estate of Patrick McCar thy, deceased. The action .a to recovei on a note given at State Center Marc 1, 1899. to Patrick McCarthy. The amount of the note was $425.90, with in terest at 7 per cent. The plainint prays for a judgment for the amount due, to gether with Interest, costs of suit and attorney's fees in the sum of $40. Pat rick McCarthy, deceased, and Michael McCarthy, one of the defendants, are the two brothers who were on trial in this city a few years ago for .he murder of their brother-in-law, Mike Jordan. NEW HARNESS SHOP AVery Shrewd Business Move on the Part of J. S. Ferry. Establishes a Branch Store Schick Grant's Feed Sheds, at It was certainly a shrewd move on the part of J. S. Perry, when Monday evening he concluded negotiations with Schick Grant for a large room on the west side of their feed sheds, in which to establish a branch harness shop. He had canvassed the matter thoroughly and came to the conclusion that he could better accommodate his patrons by so doing. His shop on North Center street has been added to until there Is no longer any room for ex tension. and the only thing left to do was to establish a branch shop, as it is impossible to do all the repair work and take care of his ever-increasing re tail trade at the old stand. Mr. Perry will be found at hie North Center street shop as usual, but will do the cutting and have supervision of the work in the new shop as well. His Intention Is to Increase and better the business at his North Center street shop, and also have first-class shop at Schick's feed sheds. Employment will be given to two men at the new shop to begin with, and others will be employed as the business demands. The city as well as the coun try trade will be looked after at the new stand, and everything to be found In any first-class harness shop will be kept in stock. This will enable farmers who patronize the Schick feed sheds to obtain what they want in the harness line without going out of their way. It Is not drawing It too strong to say that there is not a man In Marshall county who is better or more faborably known than J. S. Perry. He Is an old resident, a man of business ability and Integrity, one who by close application to business has prospered, as is evidenced by his branching out with a second harness shop, and when you patronize him you get just what you pay for. The inten tion is to have the new shop ready for business September 1, and at the rate the dirt is flying now it will be. The location, on Church street, between First and Second avenues, would prob ably not have been thought a desirable one by many, but Mr. Perry thinks it is, and he ought to know.

Wll City Fathers Put in Three Hours and Dispose of Lots of Business. The Usual Amount of Rag Chewing Goes With the Rest—Cheaper Lights. Tax Levy for Ensuing Year Made— Library Gets a Mill and a Half: An interesting session of the council was held Monday night and a great amount of important business was transacted. It is true that the session was a long-drawn-out affair, lasting until 11 o'clock, and that there was the usual amount of mastication of the frayed linen, yet everything went and as a result today a number of new ordi nances and resolutions are ready for the books of the city clerk. The principal features of the meeting were the levying of the tax for the com ing year, which will be 4% mills higher than last year the passing of an ordinance regarding the fire limits the passing of the resolution ordering the special tax levy on sidewalks, excepting those against which there have been complaints registered the passing of a motion to place in each ward of the city two blocks of sewer the completing of arrangements for the negotiation for the opening of Cunningham street the passing of the resolution ordering each railroad of the city to erect automatic gates at Third avenue and Center street within sixty days, and last, but not least, the Introduction of an ordi nance fixing the ratea to consumers of electric light and gas service. Every member of the body was pres ent when Mayor Pierce called for order, and after the preliminary business was dispensed with the objections filed against the cement sidewalk were read. They included one from George West lake, George Rapp, Miss Elsie Handy, M. A. Johnson and George Holllday, all residents of Westlake's second addition and having property on East State street Chris Larson, Andrew Bowman Joseph Kurtz and Nellie Nash. All ob jected to either the Inferior quality of cement, manner of workmanship condition of walk, and the objections were ordered placed on file. In this connection a petition from Mrs. Mary Satia and Mrs. C. W. Hutson was read, asking that the board walk in front of the Globe hotel be allowed to remain, as it had been placed nearly all new last year. Mr. Finkle said that he had been over the walk and had found some of it loose. Therefore he moved the order stand. As no second was heard Mr. Benson moved the peti tlon be received and placed on file. A communication read in reference to the opening of Cunningham street of fered a reduction of $40 in the bid of La Plant Bros, for the removal of the D. W. Cunningham house. The matter was referred to the committee on streets and alleys. A communication from Charles T. LaPlant offered the city $1, 110 for the house, barn and all other buildings, including foundations, on what 16 known as the Pemberton place This is in connection with the proposed opening of West Boone street. Mr. Good, of the ways and means committee, introduced a written com munication signed by Mrs. Anna Howe, as vice presidt-nt, and Mr. F. M. Sutton, as secretary, pro tem, of the public library, aBking that two mill tax be levied for library purposes. THE NEW TAX LEVY. The matter of the Increase in tax levy for next year was then brought up anil was as follows, being passed by unanimous vote: "Be it resolved by tbe city council of the city of MarshaUtown, Iowa, That the percentage or number of mills on the dollar be, and the same is hereby levied for city purposes upon the taxa ble property within the corporate limits of said city for the year ensuing, as shown by the assesment rolls of said city, to-wlt: "Ten mills on the dollar for defraying the general and incidental expenses. "Two mills on the dollar for a more complete sewerage sjstem. "One and one-half mills on the dollar for the maintenance of public library. ""Ones mill on the dollar for the pur pose of paying bonds and their inter est. "One mill on the dollar for a sinking fund to pay bonded indebtedness. "One mill on the dollar for support of the fire department. "Three mills In the dollar water works tax upon the taxable property within the limits of protection of the water works, as fixed by the city council. "Five mills on the dollar tax on lands within the city used for agricultural and horticultural purposes." Another resolution, introduced and passed immediately afterwards, was as follows: "Be it resolved by the city council of the city of Marshalltown, Iowa, That all territory within city limits of the city, except for agricultural and horticultur al purposes, be embraced within the limits of proteotlon by the water works, and for the purpose of levying a special tax for maintenance of said works, the extension of water works mains and providing of water supply." This levy shows an increase over last year of four and one-half mills, an in crease of one mill on the sewer tax, three on the water tax and one-half mill for the maintenance of the library. The other levies remain the same as last year. In the matter of sewers, there have been so many Improvements in the last year in this department, that it was thought best to levy a little more to meet the increase in expense of main enance. The same condition prevails in the water department. For three years there has been no levy on water, but with the expense incurred in getting a new supply, three mills were levied. The King and Wallen property mat ters came up again, City Solicitor Ev ans being present to give a report on the same. Counsel for Mr. Wallen was aUo present and presented his side of the case, aB regards the paving assess ment for his property on Center street, which abuts on both Center and First streets and has been assessed on both. The fire limits ordinance came up for revision, being presented by Mr. Kreut ser. This leaves the fire limits the same aa before, although the half block be tween Main and State and Second and Third streets, where _0. nated. The rules were suspended and the ordinance passed to Its second and third readings and was ordered spread on the records. THE SPECIAL TAX LEVY. A resolution ordering the special tax levy, In the1 matter of sidewalks, created a great deal of discussion. The amount assessable to the property was stated as being $3,123.28. Kreutzer and Fisher didn't want the special levy made until the work of Contractor Dunn was sat isfactory in every way. Mr. Kreutzer even introduced for inspection samples of walks that had been picked up by him. After a long confab an amend ment was offered, which allowed those walks that had been objected to to be eliminated from the assessment. The original, with the amendment, then carried, all voting aye excepting Kreut ze?. Mr. Good Introduced a petition for the establishment of a sewer one block long on Linn street, between First and Third. It was asked by the property owners, who are building new houses and want to connect with the city sew er. This called for a discussion by councllrnen from the other wards, and especially of the Second, who said that there were prior claims to sewers in their wards. MeGuire then moved the establishment of two blocks of sewer in each ward, and this was carried. A large grist of smaller matters then came up, Including a petition by Finkle that a sewer on West Grant street be considered l'rom Second street west to connect with the Third street sewer Me Guire introduced a resolution calling upon the city clerk to draw a warrant for $800 to be placed in the Marshall town State Bank, payable to D. W. Cunningham, as soon as a warranty deed of good and sufficient character be lied for record. This is another step toward the opening of Cunningham street, the Cunningham residence being the way. The resolution was adopted after an amendment by Harris which read that the contract be completed in twenty days In connection with this Fisher moved that as soon as the city solicitor and the streets and alleys com mittee became satisfied that the title to the Cunningham land was clear, that instructions be given to LaPlant Bros, to remove the house at their contract price, $560. HUGHES' ADDITION. Mr. John B. Hughes was present at the meeting and Introduced a plat of his new addition, In the northwest part of the city. The matter was discussed, especially as to the width of the streets and the establishment of alleys, and the matter went to the committee of tbe whole. An offer of T. Blnford, Dan Zwllllng, Binford Snelling, B. F. Cummlngs. Kirby Howe, Frank Brennecke and' E. A. Kennedy, owners of abutting land to a blind alley, situated between First' and Second avenues and between Main and Church streets, was then fntro duced. The property owners offer to\ pave the alley in good shape and give it to the city. All that was asked as a reserve was four feet on each side for stairways. The gift was ordered ac cepted. The railways came in for their final disposal and a resolution Introduced by Finkle ordered the Chicago North western. Iowa Central and Chicago Great Western roads to put in auto matic gates at the Center street and Third avenue crossings within sixty days. The Ketohum street, extension was then talked over and some land belong ing to the Glucose Sugar Refining Com pany was, with other lands, ordered condemned If the owners would not sell. Hills for damages In which Thomas T. Idso asks for $25 for the lowering of tho grade on the corner of Seventh av enue and Frederick street, and W. Owings for $1S5 on account of the desih of a horse and damage to a vehicle and harness, the cause of which was alleged as the operation of a steam engirie too close to the public highway. The form er claim was tabled and the latter re ferred to the committee on waterworks. WANT CHEAPER LIGHTS. One of the best things of the even ing was served to the last, when Dr. Harris Introduced an ordinance "estab lishing and fixing the rates to be charged consumers for electric current and gas for lighting and other purpos es, providing for the Inspection of me ters and providing penalties for the violation of the ordinance." The pro posed ordinance, in full, is as follows: lie it ordained by Uie City Council of Marshalltown, Iowa: "Soction 1.—That every person, com pany or corporation engaging in the business of furnishing electric currents of any kind shall be obliged to connect with the service wires of any building within the city limits and that is within two hundred feet of any wire of said person, firm or corporation that can be used for the purpose desired upon the filing of the offlce of the said firm, per son or corporation of a written request by the person desiring the same.

A. Fitchpatrick, of Nevada, Nom inee For State Senator, the Forger's Victim. Zenor Gets Out of Town With $900 But the Sheriff's After Him. Special to Times-Republican. Nevada, Aug. 15.—A daring forgery was perpetrated here Thursday by a young man from near Ontario. He claimed to be William H. Zeflor, of that place, and negotiated a loan of $1,000 on eighty acres of land from J. A. Fitch patrick, a veteran abstracter and the republican nominee for state senator. He carried the deeds and other papers in his pocket and answered the ques tions put to him without embarrass ment, and, in short, was as cool and collected as if nothing unusual were happening. The deal was closed up satisfactorily and Zenor drew his money at one of the banks, leaving di rectly afterwards for Des Moines, first apping at Ames. The forgery might have remained undiscovered for some time had not some little irregularities 111 the abstract appeared under subse quent closer investigation. Inquiry then brought to light other difficulties and it was learned that, in his haste to get out of town he had allowed his check to be paid $100 short. It has now developed that the young man's rea nsime is Frank Zenor, that he had stolen the deeds and papers concerning the land from the owner and that by signing the name of William H. Zenor he committed a forgery. He is ac companied by a companion of about his own age, 25 years. A large reward is offered for his arrest. Sheriff Banks has a good clue and hopes to make a capture soon. NEIGHBORHOOD NOTES. 1 Itiiu n. Special to Times-Republican.

After the second read ing, however, it was laid over to the next meeting. Dr. Harris said in sup port of the ordinance that Marshall town consumers were paying one-third more than other cities and he cited several smaller cities as Instances, where it would be thought ordinarily consumers could not be given service as cheaply as in a city the size of Mar shalltown. The maximum for rate for service In Belleville, 111., a city of 25,000, is but 60 cents, while the minimum rate here 51. Mayor Pierce told of how the rates were being cut In other Iowa cit ies by ordinance, and that an investi gation of the statutes Bhowed that the city had a right to regulate prices tfhen they were exhorbltant. He cited Ottum wa and Iowa City, both of which have recently reduced the rates.

Chicago, Aug. 15.—Local bull senti ment over the market churned and soured perceptibly on lower Liverpool. The speculative condition as given yes terday proved to be the real foundation stone to the market from the opening. The advance seemed Justified by the congested state of the market, but when relieved it needed a new element to take Its place. The weakest legitimate fea ture is lack of export demand and until it comes in a substantial way we don't believe bulges will hold. There is a strong element believes In higher prices, and this opinion will increase as values decline. We'would advise aggressive buying when we see signs of actuai sup port rather than to Join in the general •£TX«2£. because values have Anson brick were not hard enough and were not fit to go into sidewalks, while qther of the councilmen supported the brick.
