Campaigns Have Been Lively and Sometimes Bitter—Good Elec tion Weatber Promised. Washington, Nov. 6.—The weather bureau has the following special elec tion day forecasts: "Fair and cool weather will con tinue Tuesday in the Atlantic coast states, lake region, upper Ohio val ley and west of the Mississippi rlv er, except In the southwest. "Rain Is likely In the middle and western gulf states, Oklahoma, southern Kansas, southern Missou ri, Arkansas and the lower Ohio valley." Chicago, Nov. 6.—Elections will be held in twelve states tomorrow: Ohio, Iowa, Kentucky, Mississippi, Mary land and Massachusetts elect gover nors the others state officers Nebras ka judge of the supreme court and two •regents of the state university Penn sylvania, treasurer and judges of the supreme and superior courts South Dakota, three justices of the supreme court New York, New Jersey and Vir ginia, legislatures. There are five tick ets in Ohio, live in Iowa, six in Ken tucky, two in Mississippi and three in Nebraska two in South Dakota, three in Maryland, Ave in Pennsylvania, five in Massachusetts. In Kansas and Colo rado county officers will be elected and .municipal elections will be held in San Francisco, Salt Lake, New Orleans and Detroit. In addition to sheriff and some judicial officers in Greater New York, mayoralty elections will be held in some other cities in New York THE OHIO OUTLOOK, Fight Has Been Hitter and tlio Out come Ilnrii to l'redlci. Cincinnati, Nov. 6.—Arguments in the exciting Ohio campaign are closed. In dications are for a vote next in volume to that of the presidential election. Choice of decennial appraisers of real estate for the purpose of fixing the tax valuation for the next ten years is re lied on to bring out all the farmers. Aside from, the estimate of ex-Governor Campbell, there has been no definite claim made for the democratic vote. Campbell says McLean's plurality will be 40,000 if the democrats keep united. There has been a democratic muddle in Cleveland and in Cincinnati there is a well-defined opinion that George 13. Cox's interest in the republican party is much more concerned about the suc cess of the county than the state ticket. These Influences may offset each other by reducing the Nash vote in Cincin nati as much as it reduces the McLean vote in Cleveland. But, in both cases, there is a strong probability that Jones, independent, will be the beneficiary. The claims made for Nash vary from 20,000 to 60,000 plurality, dependent on the uncertainty as to how the Jones vote will affect he republican vote. Banna Is Confident. .Cleveland, Nov. 6.—Hanna today reit erated the declaration that Nash will be elected governor tomorrow. He de clined, however, to make any esti mates, saying any plurality would be a great victory for the republican party In- Ohio under the existing conditions. IN PENNSYLVANIA. Apathy Likely to Itcduce the Vote— Antl Quay faction Uncertain Quantity, Philadelphia, Nov. 6.—Exceptionally fine weather is promised for election day in Pennsylvania, but notwith standing this and the fact that the rival candidates for state treasurer have led the parties' "spellbinders" Into nearly every county, the usual "oft" year apathy appears to exist and the leaders of both parties have little hope of getting out a large vote. There are rumors from various sections that the state "insurgents," as the anti Quay republicans are called, will vote the democratic ticket, but the repub lican state chairman confidently claims upwards of 150,000 plurality for his candidate. Democratic state leaders claim they will win, it their efforts to prevent fraudulent voting In Philadel phia are successful. IOWA IN SURE COLUMN. Question Is One of Pluralities In This State. Des Moines, Nov. 6.—The ticket to be elected tomorrow In Iowa is governor, treasurer, state superintendent of pub lic schools and railroad commissioner. Upon the legislature hinges the selec tion of United States senator, and the election of republican candidates in doubtful counties will determine whether Gear or Cummins, will be chos en. Chairman Weaver of the republican state central committee said today: "While conditions are decidedly apa thetic in the matter of getting voters out, the committee figures on a major ity of 45,000. It is more than likely it will exceed that figure." Chairman Huffman, of the democrat ic central committee, said: "We hope for a victory, and we be lieve there are enough republicans dis satisfied with the administration to. carry the day." GOVERNOR SHAW'S VIEW. "I expect to have at least 40,000 ma Jorlty over Mr. White. If the full re ./publican vote is polled It will be very ft" cmuch'more than that, but from the ac tivity I have seen among republicans •11 over the'state I con not believe it Will be less.

MR MONTH mr MAIL. «N» «DM(U AND -MONBV VOL, XXV* irsupioiviR can Industries, but the new issue of 'imperialism' raised by the democrats has, in my judgment, been a source of additional strength to us in this cam paign. Wherever I have been the peo ple are on the side of the government at Washington, and believe that the rebellion of the Tagalos should be put down, whatever is done-with the Phil ippines after that. "There is no state issue that amounts to much and none has been urged by the fusionists, except incidentally, oc casionally or locally. The verdict of the people next Tuesday will be an ex pression in favor of the administration of President McKlnley, and I feel sure that In Iowa it will be very decisive. "LESLIE M. SHAW, "Governor." BITTERNESS IN KENTUCKY. Outbreak of Violence at the Polls Tomorrow Would Not lie Surpris ing. Louisville, Ky^ Nov. 6.—The cam paign which closes tonight has been one of the most exciting ever known in the state and has been bitterly personal. While an outbreak of violence tomor row wouM surprise no one, the likeli hood of such an occurrence is believed to be slight. The police are ready for any emergency and the state militia is in readiness for a call in case its ser vices are needed. Most of the party leaders of the state are here today. The campaign will close tonight with large meetings by both parties. Goebel and ex-Senator Blackburn will address their followers, while Governor Bradley, W. S. Taylor and other candidates will make a last appeal to republican voters. NEGROES DISFRANCHISED. Under New Constitution In Loulsana Many Can Not Vote. New Orleans, Nov. 6.—A bitter can vass has been in progress in this city for seven weeks between democratic factions. Ninety to 95 per cent of the registered vote will be polled. Under the new constitution 12,000 negroes have been disfranchised only 1,300 reg istered. Both sides claim the election. The result will have a material effect on the coming state fight and election of two senators to succeed Caffery and McEnery. IN' MARYLAND. Both Sides Making Ills Claims—Much Depends on lialtlmore. Baltimore, Nov. G.—The day before the election finds the leaders of both parties apparently calm and confident, making rather extravagant claims as to the result. Chairman Van Diver, of the democratic state committee, says his party will carry twenty of the twenty-Hire* counties in the state. Gen. Shryock, head of the republican committee, insists that the democratic candidate for governor will carry Worcester county, in which he lives, and no other. More conservative esti mates concede the eastern shore to the democrats by 1,200, southern Mary land to the republicans by 1,000, and western Maryland to the republicans by about the same, leaving Baltimore city, with its 110,000 voters, debatable ground. MASSACHUSETTS. Republican Candidates Will Be Elcctcd—Democrats Hope to Rcducc Pluralities. Boston, Nov. 6.—The closing of the campaign in Massachusetts was unat tended by anything like excitement. The election of the republican candi date for governor, Murray Crane, and the remainder of the state ticket is re garded as certain. Robert Treat Paine. Jr., democratic nominee for governor, and the other democratic campaigners, will hold their final rallies tonight. The democratic state committee claims an ti-expansionist republicans will refrain from voting or cast their ballots for Robert Treat Paine, democratic candi date: that the republican plurality to morrow will be at least 30,000 less than last year. The republican state committee has not conceded a reduction of more than 10.000. IN BRYAN'S STATE. Republicans Hopeful ot Carrying Nebrasku—New Registration Law. Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 6.—There was a general closing up of campaign head quarters today. Based on registration figures in the cities and large towns, the vote tomorrow, with good weather, will equal, if not exceed, that of a year ago. Under the new law voters must give their political affiliations when they register. The result has been gra tifying to the republican managers, but the fusionists declare it means noth ing. Bryan will make a final address tonight, at Omaha. NEW YORK CITY. Crokor Claiming Everything for the Democrat*. New York, Nov. 6.—The political (yimpaign ended today was one of the hardest fought ever known in this city In an off year. Republicans in the fight against Tammany, fused with the Citizens' Union and independent labor parties. Croker managed the demo cratic campaign and has been claiming the democrats would elect every mem ber of the legislature in the city. It is now admitted that the republicans will elect one and perhaps two or three South Dakota. Sioux Falls, S. D., Nov. 6.—Chairman Herried, of the republican state com mittee, estimates a republican majori ty of 10,000 tomorrow. Chairman Kidd figures the fight against imperialism will result In populist gains. The cam paign has been spiritless and the vote will be light. I New Jersey. Newark, N. J., Nov. 6.—Leaders at republican headquarters say the party is sure to control both branches of the next legislature, which will elect a United States senator in 1901. Mississippi. Jackson, Miss., Nov. 6.—There has been a very general awakening of in terest in the election throughout the state and a much heavier vote than usual is looked for. Divorce for Von Moltke. Berlin, Nov. 6.—A divorce has been granted Count Von Moltke, the emper or's aide de camp. The decrf* places tbe Mrtir? guilt on the yrlt«. IP WS Ill Gen. White Lifts Immense Weight From the Pnblio Hind in London. A Dispatoh Received Today Show ing That He is Safe and Still Confident Evaouation of Colenso Believed to Be For Purpose of Aiding Pietermaritzburg. London, Nov. 6.—An Immense weight was lifted from the public mind today by a brief official dispatch, published this morning, showing that the conti nental stories to the effect that Gen. White's force at Ladysmith had sur rendered are false but further anxiety is caused by the evidence that White, instead of remaining entirely on the defensive, is risking other disasters by sending out sorties. Generally, how ever, the cheery tone of the dispatch, showing there is no anxiety at Lad: smith in regard to the ability of the beleaguered forces to hold their own had an excellent effect on the country, and the fact that White was able to shell the Boer camp is thought to Indi cate that he is not so closely Invested as supposed. The ability of the Boers to invade Cape Colony Is awakening the fear that some of the Dutch in the British possessions have joined the Boer forces, as otherwise the Boer number can not be accounted for. It is thought the evacuation of Colenso may be for the purpose of reinforcing Pietermaritzburg, which, it is said, is threatened by the Boers. It is said the evacuation of Stormberg may have been for the purpose of hurrying for ward the supplies there to -Durban, for the use of Methun's division, which Uuller may have decidcd to send to White's relief. Colenso Stores Saved. Durban, Natal, Nov. 3.—It is said the Colenso garrison saved all stores, tents, etc. The Boers numbered 5,000, com prising fresh corps from Orange Free State. An armored train did splendid service, taking a. detachment of Dublin Fusileers to relieve the outlying fort, garrisoned by volunteers. Reassuring reports are received regarding the po sition at Pietermaritzburg. BATTLE STILL RAGING. Artillery Conflict Continues Near La dysmith—Uoers Force Fltrhtlne. London, Nov. 6.—Shortly befor.' mid night a dispatch from Gen. Buller at Capetown was made public. This con tained the following message from Gen. White, received by carrier' pigeon at Durban: "Ladysmith, Nov. 3.—Yesterday Gen. French [Gen. Buller suggests that White meant to say Brecklchurst] went out with cavalry and field artil lery and effectively shelled the Boer laager without loss on our side. Lieut. Egerton, of the Powerful, is dead. "Gen. Joubert sent in Maj. C. S. Kin caid, of the royal Irish fusllliers, and nine wounded prisoners. Eight lioers were sent out in exchange, no others being fit to travel. "Col. Breckelhurst, with cavalry, field artillery, the imperiai lighthorse and the Natal mounted volunteers, was en gaged today with the enemy to the southwest of Ladysmith. The fighting lasted several hours, our loss being very small. "The bombardment of Ladysmith continued yesterday and today, many Boer shells being pitched into the town. Our troops are in good health and spirits and the wounded are doing well." The London public had not even this dispatch to calm its anxiety throughout the long Sunday, but it had numberless rumors of disaster to excite ft. The latest bulletin that had been received before the one just quoted was that an nouncing the retirement of the British force defending Colenso, twenty-three miles south of Ladysmith. That par tially confirmed the Belgian report of Thursday that the Boers had occupied Colenso and multiplied worry a thou sandfold, for worse reports than that have come out of Brussels since. There and at Lisbon It Is persistently ru mored that Ladysmith has fallen and that Gen. Sir George White and his thousands of men are prisoners in the hands of the Boers. At the best Gen. White is surrounded by the enemy, with retreat toward Dur ban Impossible and reinforcement ren dered most difficult. He may hold out. It the war office has given out the worst features of his Friday's dispatch he can hardly be in extremity by this time, provided he has adhered to de fensive tactics. Those two provisos comprehend the whole of the question of Gen. White's present and future security. It is the general belief that the war office is suppressing unwelcome tidings, and it is the general *ear that even If Lady smith is still safe the garrison may be drawn into yet another trap. Attention is directed also to the fact that no word escapes the war office as to the present temper of the Cape Dutch. Now if ever is the time for Afrikander sympathies to crystallize Into allied action. If the Cape Dutch were unroused by Boer successes, It is argued, the war office would be glad to remove from the public mind that po tent cause for alarm. The war office is careful not to men tion Gen. Buller's movements, and in military circles here It is not consid ered unlikely that the next news of the commander-in-chief may tell ot the ex ecution of the coup of the war—the mo­ bilization at Delagoa bay of the force now on the way to the Cape. The dis patch posted last night purports to come from Gen. Buller at Cape Town, but it by no means follows that the commander-in-chief is there. If he has gone to Lorenzo Marques, or is on his way there. It is not In the war office's plans to tell tbe world ot It. It the mobilisation ia not to k* af­ /»*t MABSHALLTOWN* IOWA. MONDAY, NOVEMBER 6. 1899 fected at Delagoa bay Gen. Buller ap parently is obliged to reconsider his whole plan of .campaign—to determine whether he is to proceed directly to the relief of Ladysmith, sending a second column to Klmberley and Mafeking, or, abandoning them to Providence, pro ceed through Orange Free State to Pre toria by way of Bloinfontein. Even if he decides on the latter course there is a growing fear that by the time he has sufficient troops to take the field he will find that he has to fight his way even through northern Cape Colony. Then with enormous dif ficulty he must cross the Orange river in the face of a strong enemy, holding the bridges—if any of the bridges are allowed to remain, which is doubtful. BOERS ABSURDLY UNDERRATED. The English people are now realizing that they have absurdly underrated the Boers aB regards numbers, determi nation, equipment—everything, and es pecially as regards artillery. CLOSE ON ENEMY. American Troops Pushing the Rebels Into Close Quarters—Whole Com pany, Armed, Captured—The Ad vance. Manila, Nov. 6.—Magalang, the town taken yesterday by two columns of MacArthur's division, under Col. Smith and Maj. O'Brien, is a strong town sit uated midway between Angeles and Arayat. The movement is the part of a plan for the Americans to possess all the country to the southeast of Tarlac, as the troops close in on the capital, cutting the line of the enemy's retreat in that direction. The insurgent force is estimated at 1.000. Col. Smith first encountered a small force entrenched a quarter of a mile beyond Angeles, which soon retreated, leaving two dead. The enemy made a short stand at the outskirts of Barrios and San Francisco. Capt. Brush, with an advance guard, charged the Filipinos, who fled. Seven Americans were wounded. The Ameri cans almost surrounded the insurgents, who resisted stubbornly, but Lieut. Hamilton's artillery cut them up. Lieut. Slavin's troops captured a com pany of the enemy, with arms, during the advance. Wheeler's brigade Is formed at An geles prepared for a general engage ment. LOSS, HALF A MILLION. Fire In Kansas City Saturday Night Proved Very serious. Kansas City, Nov. 6.—Half a million dollars' worth of property was de stroyed after midnight Saturday night by fire that starred in Jones Bros.' big department store, on North Main and Sixth streets and spread to a half a block of other buildings on Main and Walnut streets. The aggregate insur ance is estimated at $375,000. The heav iest losers are Jones Bros., who esti mate their stock, which was totally de stroyed, as worth $30,000. The insurance carried by this firm amounted to 82 per cent of the loss. It was the most de structive fire that has ever visited the uptown business district. The other heavy losses: .Tones build ing, owned by W. C. Lobenstein, New York, $00,000 Jones annex, owned by -Majors Investment Company, 513,000 Humboldt building, owned by W. C. Lobenstein, S-'i.OOO L. M. Emsrlch, stock of dry goods, $15,000 M. Quinn, groceries, $-o,0ti0 St. James hotel, un occupied, $18,000 the Flavel Shoe Com pany, Snodgrass Company and tht Chandler Commission Company suf fered minor losses. The fire started in the building occu pied by Jones Bros, shortly after mid night and its inflammable contents burned with remarkable rapidity. In a little more than an hour after the fire started the Junes building was entirely destroyed and nothing was left of the building but tile foundation. In the meantime the lire had spread south to the Humboldt building, north to the Jones annex and Quinn's grocery, all five-story buildings, and flying embers had caught the eld St. James hotel, four stories in height, half a block north on Walnut street. Two stories of the Quinn building were burned and Quinn's stock was ruirfed. Every lire company In the city was called to tae scene and help was sent by Kansas City, Kan. Firemen had many narrow escapes from falling walls. Consents to Mortrunntlc Marriage. Vienna, Nov. 6.—It is reported that Emperor Francis Joseph has consented co a morganatic marriage between Archduke Francis Ferdinand, son of the late Archduke 1 'harles Louis, and heir presumptive to the throne of Austria Hungaria, and Countess Sophia Ciiotek, on condition that there be a year's de lay. The countess was formerly maid of honor of Arcnduchess Isabella. Law yers hold that the marriage will not affect the archduke's succession to the throne, but that his children by the marriage are excluded. Jamaica Insurgents Defeated. Kingston, Jamaica, Nov. lfi.—Reliable Colombian advices just received de scribe an engagement with the insur gent steamers by the Colombian crui ser Hercules under Gen. Rodriguez, ac companied by the steamer Colombia, having troops on board. The insurgent steamer Drag was rammed and sunk and four smaller ones were captured. Clsneros, with the surviving insur gents, escaped. The insurgents lost 250 men. McKlnley Goes to Cunton. Washington, Nov. 6.—The president leaves Washington this evening for Canton, where he will deposit his bal lot tomorrow. Smith and Yancy Convicted. Nevada, Nov. 6.—The trial of Smith and Yancy on the charge of shooting Conductor Hicks at Kelley during state fair week, terminated. Smith was con victed of assault with intent to commit murder and was given ten years.

Robbed Friends'* viio Confided in and Honored Him—Howe's Record Outdone. Now Known That 0. L. Roseman Was Defaulter and Embezzler For Some $27,000. Special to Times-Republican. Montezuma, Nov. C.—Ever since the O. L. Roseman funeral an investigation has been in progress in the business transactions of the firms of Roseman Cummins, O. L. Roseman Son and O. L. Roseman. The investigation has gone far enough to establish the fact that O. L. Roseman died a defaulter and embezzler to the extent of $27,000 or thereabouts. It is a great shock to our people, as nearly every one sup posed him to be in good circumstances. I'ut as the search progresses it is found that he has beaten the record of the notorious Chet Rowe. The latter robbed the county of several thousand, while Roseman has robbed his best friends, and in some instances it will take the savings of a lifetime and leave the fam ilies homeless. C. D. Roseman was ar rested late Saturday as an accomplice of his father and will answer to the above charges in court. As Roseman was in the abstract business and a loan broker, besides enjoying the utmost confidence of a large acquaintance, it gave him frequent opportunity. His abstracts now are worthless, as many are said to be false and show clear title to land that was already mortgaged in order to procure loans. It is now known that in the Roseman defalcation W. H. Butts loses $750. money paid Roseman for the purpose •1' paying off a mortgage. There is some prospect of this amount being he tiled. W. W. Cuminings loses from 411,000 to $9,000. the amount not beini lefinitely known as yet. A Mr. Wv nioiv loses S,',00u. J. K. Taylor, of Deep Uiver. is .a victim for $2,li)0. It is re ported that Schmidt Vollmer are out Sl.OoO. Robert Hicks is said lo be loser by $1,000. Tilt-: $1,000 Roseman held as trustee of the Odd Fellows will be taken to the courts. There is about $3, "00 due other parties, but it is believed tln-y will agree to a senlement today. All of these amounts were sums de posited with Roseman to pay off mort gages, etc., in which Roseman was the agent through whom the.loans were obtained. The parties trusted to his honesty an.l supposed everything was all right. Roseman died a few weeks ago. lie died, it was said at the nine, of apo plexy. his death being very sudden. In view of the developments, there have been suggestions in some quarters that Roseman may have suicided rather than face the disgrace of exposure which he probably realized must come sooner or later. This theory, however, is given little credence, as Itoseman undoubtedly was hoping Cor a turn in affairs by which he might retrieve his losses, make good his defalcations and save lus good name. Roseman was a prominent Odd Fel low, a past grand master and his fu neral was attended by a. large number the high officers and members of that order, including the present rand master and a number of past masters. The town is greatly excited over the discoveries being made and many farmers and others who ha\y: had dealings with the firm are coming into town to look up the records and ascer tain whether thi-y have been made vic tims of his dishonesty, FUKTIUUl l'AltTU. L,AltS, rtliods L'scd by liosemnn ill Ilis Transactions— l.ost in Ilorsp Deal Innocent I'urtles Likely to Miller. Special to Times-Republican. Montezuma. Nov. -j.—This town is all stirred up over the tragic death of O. L. Roseman and subsequent developments. It is now generally believed.thai he died of poison self-administered. It is known that an attorney was pressing him for a large sum which he had failed to ac count for that he promised to fix it "in the morning:" that in retiring he asked his wife to sleep up stairs and that at ii o'clock next morning he was found in a dying condition. His melhods were very simple and so recklessly bold as to ward off suspicion. He was an abstractor and loan agent and handled large sums of money, mostly for Davenport banks and loan agents. In making a loan he would take the farmer's application and send it in and the bank would send him a draft for the amount of the loan. As the money was generally borrowed to renew a prior incumbrance the bor rower looked to him to fix the matter up and pay off the old loan. Instead of paying the prior incumbrance, he sim ply converted the money and sent the Davenport parties an abstract duly certified, showing no prior incum brances at all. In other words the land appeared by the abstract to have been clear when the application was made. Already transactions of this kind have been uncovered aggregating about $20,000. Davenport parties have been here for several days trying to unravel the tangled web and ascertain the ex tent of their loss.es. McCausland, Hoag Company, commission men at Chi cago, have also had a representative here, looking up their chattel mort gages on cattle. No sympathy at all is expressed for the Davenport banks. Shrewd men say that if a money lender has no more sense than to lend through a man who himself certifies to the abstracts they deserve to lose. But it is not probable that the Davenport parties will be losers. It is feared by many that the losses will fall on the farmers who dealt with Roseman and who now find two mortgages instead of one. This is a question the cotu-'ts will be called on to decide. The Westlon will arise as ,i$, W*$ Kp&tW vv«*^ 7VTK*^ V^ Correspondents are requested not to ivlro election returns. Other arrun(*ements have been made for receiving lull returns. Tlio Woatlior. For Iowa—Fair tonight warmer in the central and northwest Tuesday, cloudy and rain in the south cooler in the west.

In these particular cases it looks very much as if he was the lender's agent. No one seems to know where the money went. He leaves lutlc- or no es tate, aside from life insurance, but it is the general opinion that it was dropped in the enormous cattle and horse deals that he and his son, C. D. Roseman, have been for the past two years try ing to swing. The losses must have been heavy. No or.c here believes that th« wife or mother had the faintest suspicion .of what was gointr on and the deepest sympathy is felt for them. Just how Roseman secured the confidence of the Davenport people to the extent: he did no on- can understand. His record as county treasurer was very unsavory. A good many people recall the hard coal episode. Many inquiries have been1 made as to what became of the enor mous amounts of delinquent taxes col.-, lected, but nobody has ever yet re ceived a satisfactory answer, while oth er men have often wondered why a, certain firm in Des Moines got ail the: blank-book contracts at prices nearly »(i per cent larger than were aslced by a printing establishment in this county. It is probable that much litigation will grow out of these tangled affairs, and the most unfortunate feature about it is that these losses will ftiost likely have to fall on men who can not stand it,, and who will be hopelessly ruined. THEATRICAL TROUP MOBBED. New ITnrtford Resents Intrusion of Waterloo's Hobo Talent. Special to Times-Republican. Pai-kersburg, Nov. fi.—Your corre spondent interviewed the police force of New Hartford in regard to the affair which took place there Saturday night, and which caused no few people con siderable anxiety as to the outcome. It seems that the "Waterloo Hobo Ama teur Theatric.-.! Performers" tried to have some fun in endeavoring to play "Ten Nights In a Barroom" at the New Hartford people's expense, an3 that be fore the play was. half over the Water loo company came to the conclusion, because of eggs and other articles, thai they had run up against the "real thins" and decided to give up. Later-in the night the comp::iy. with the pro tection of the police, started from the hotel to the depot. Eggs and small pieces of rock were thrown and the marshal's lantern was soon shattered. One of the com pan was knocked down by a rock hitting him on the head and the whole crowd seemed to act worse than if they had really spent ten nights in a barroom. It is rumored that there Is still an other act to follow. INSTANTLY KILLED. Veterlnurv Surgeon of MnquoUctn Meets With Fatal Accident. Special to Times-Republican. Clinton. Nov. C.—K. R.

THNCC MONTHS, BY MAIL tl.as. -NO 272 B. Cappron, Hotel Proprietor of Grinnell, Leaves His Wife and Town. Pretty Woman and Ex Employe Said to Have Caused All the Trouble. Vice President Hobart Growing Weaker—Samoan Question Fin ally Settled—Other News. Special to Times-Republican. Grinnell, Nov. 0.—For some days there have been whispered rumors of the sudden departure of a prominent business man from this city, and yes terday the story was repeated, with such evidence of its substantial cor rectness as to warrant newspaper in vestigation. It is said that Mr. I. B. Cappron has left the city with no inten tion of returning again to live that a certain young woman, Mrs. Addie Carr, formeriy employed at the old Chapin Hotel, owned by Air. and Mrs. Cappron, is the cause of all the trouble. It is alleged that Mr. Cappron has written back here lhat he never intends to re turn to Grinnell and that his clothing was packed up and sent to him yester day.

To a correspendent of the T.-R, one conversant wiih the business affairs of Mr. Cappron sa.es that they are in ex cellent condition. Trouble has been rife, however, between Mr. and Mrs. Cappron for several years, and the for mer's recent infatuation for Mrs. Carr has caused a termination of ail rela tions between the husband and wife. The statement is made that Mr. f'appron is at present at his farm in Marshall county, near Marshalltown. The 'hotel business conducted here has been a paying investment for years, is. owned in Mrs. Cappron's name and will be continued by her. Mrs. Cappron, when seen, proved non-committal, and neither affirmed nor denied any of the rumors regarding the disappearance. She did say that she had sent her husband's clothes to him at Marshalltown and that he was there Saturday, adding "that he was probably at his farm." From other sources it Is claimed that he met the woman in Chicago Friday evening of last week, and since that time he has not been seen here. Synjpftthy. Jhars.-ia entirely with.

Disastrous Reverse Suffered by White Main Subject of the London Populace. Charity and Criticism Both Abund antly Given—Great Britain Was Not Prepared. Military Experts Not Inclined to Be Harsh—Germany Wants Trade Treaty. London, Nov. 6.—Almost the only sub ject of discussion the past week in Eng land was the disastrous reverse suf fered by Gen. White, British command er at Ladysmith, and this was made the occasion for the pouring out of tor rents of lay criticism and advice. Pub lic opinion seems fairly divided, one section bitterly blaming the general commanding and the other maintaining that he probably is not so much at fault as he made himself out. The lat ter section, which includes many serv ice men and nearly all service publica tions, urges the withholding of definite criticism pending more detailed ac counts. The Naval and Military Rec ord, after expressing this sentiment, sums up the situation as follows: "Con sidering the nature of the 'country, the lamentable unpreparedness of England and the unwillingness ot' the opposition to allow a British regiment, to go to South Africa until Kruger's ultimatum was received, it is surprising that we have been able to hold our own so far. Xot only have the Boers proved them selves determined fighters and splendid sharpshooters, as we knew them to be, but they have developed surprising mil itary and strategic qualities, they have nearly surrounded '-very garrison we hold, and have invariably occupied al most unassailable positions, fighting with great, courage. Against such fight ers our little forces, left isolated, far from our base and without hope of re lief for days to come, have not only done splendid work, but gained success es such as we venture to believe that no other soldiers in the world, placed in -•imilar positions and in similar unfor tunate conditions, could have achiev ed." Although this may fairly be said to represent the conservative military opinion.- its referrtce to the action of the "ppositinn as preventing the sending of troops in good time is entirely errone ous. Since the first news of the Lady smith disaster reached England then? has ljpen a storm gathering over th? head, not of Sir George White, but of the secretary of the state for war. the Marquis of Lansdowne. and this ema nates not so much from the opponents of the government as from its warmest supporters. Some of the ablest of the latter have r.o hesitation in saying pri vately that almost criminal neglect has been shown in not sending at least 10,000 more troops before or by Oct. 4, and that if Lord Lansdowne's hands were tied by higher powers, he ought to exculpate himself beyond the shadow of suspicion. The failure to send out troops enough can not be charged to the opposition, for parlianmet t\as not then sitting. If there were any intention to hold Natal at all costs, an adequate force should have been sent out by Oct. 4. when the.excuse that such reinforce ments might be taken by the Boers as a menace no longer held good, as the In dian-troops-,vere already on the way. Hearing these criticisms in unexpect ed quarters, the correspondent of the Associated Press repeated them to a high government official. While non committal regarding the failure to send reinforcements earlier, this official de clared that the broad lines of policy af fecting Natal have been much misun derstood. "We are often asked, said he,, "why we sent Sir George Stewart White up the neck of Natal unless we were sure he could hold it. Considering the tremendous reinforcements now on the way to him. It occurs to almost ev erybody, at first sight, that we ought to ave retired without risking an engage lu.nt but it is forgotten what would happen in Natal unless we made a vig orous stand there. Natal has risked her little all on behalf of the empire, and the least we can do is to risk something ourselves and prevent the overrunning if her prosperous towns and rich fields by the hordes of the enemy. Purely military considerations. admit, point to the fact that we ought immediately 0 have withdrawn from our advanced positions, but purely military consider ations have sometimes to be subordin ated to the interests of the empire, arid, although many good lives have been os.t. in the couse, they have not been wasted." The acceptance of thp offers of Sir William MacCormac, Dr. Frederick Treves and other eminent civilian Bur ins for service in South Africa has Irawn attention to the serious under pinning of the army medical staff. The total strength of the department is only '40. which is L'O per cent below the fig ures of forty years ago, and actually ifty officers below the absolute mini mum decided upon in 1SS4. This state of iffairs Is due doubtless to the Insuffi cient compensation offered. Several small detachments of county yeomanry are going out, independent of the war office, to the seat of war, on he chance of joining the Imperial Light Horse. Lord Lonsdale and Lord Har ris, both yeomanry officers, are aiding this movement. The heavy losses among the British officers in Natal have led the Military Journal to suggest that the sword be abolished, not only on account of its useiessness, but also because its glitter attracts the aim of the enemy and in timates the officer. Her majesty, it Is reported, has per sonally conveyed to Field Marsha] Lord Garnet Wolsoley an expression of her gratification at the manner in which the whole military machine has worked since it was first set ini motion by the Boer ultimatum, especially in the mat ter of mobilization. Apparently the queen has not forgotten the existence of the commander-in-chief's lapse of memory, to which the public is now rather prone and which, so it is said, the Marquis of Lansdowne committed intentionally. Although agreeing that the mobiliza tion^ so far as It has been carried out, is well done, the foreign military at taches are anxious fo see the effect of a more severe test. Said one of them to the correspondent of the Associated Press: "When England calls out the S?eond and Third army corps, as I be lieve is quite poBBiDl". will be time to say whether the mobilization system is excellent, as at presnt seems to be the case. Should the third corps ever be wanted, I think you will find the percentage of reservists who- answered the first call reduced by nearly B0 per cent." Although no orders have yet been re ceived for the commission of additional warships, there is little doubt, judging from the activity on board them, that the first-class protected cruisers Am phitrite, Ariadne, Argonaut and Blake, and the second-class protected cruiser Charybdis will soon hoist the flag. In addition to these there is now a Chat ham a powerful reserve fleet, consisting of two battleships, three first-class cruisers, six second-class cruisers, two third-class cruisers, six torpedo boat destroyers and seven torpedo boats, ready for all eventualities. GERMANY WANTS TREATY. Strongly In Favor of Heciproclty Trade Agreement With Uncle Sara [Copyrighted, 1899, Associated Press.] Berlin, Nov. 6.—Opinion here inclines more strongly in favor of a commer cial treaty with the United States, which will be fair for both sides and enable the merchants of both nations to make calculations regarding the trade between the two countries for a number of years ahead. The growing importance of the United States as a market for German goods is generally recognized by everybody except the agrarians, and leads to the hope that the long-pending negotiations will be brought to a successful issue. The kind reception of the German delegates to the Philadelphia commercial congress is greatly appreciated by the press here. Newspapers express the hope that the gathering will remove the many mutual errors. The emperor's naval projects have formed the main subject of press discussion this week. Th« government now admits that the Flotton plan was really the means of doubling the navy, as compared with what it will be under the plan of 1S97, that 25.000 additional men will be needed for the new lleet. Nearly the whole press expresses astonishment at the fact that his majesty personally conceived and pushed the plan, while Prince I-Iohenlohe's consent was only obtained later and that the bundes rath and the Prussian cabinet have not yet been consulted. However, the (•luuues of a bill embodying the plan which the correspondent learns will reach the reichstag before the end of the year are increasing, liven a part of the Freisingiges seem willing to vote for an increase of strong reas=ons for it are shown. The agrarian press pre serves the policy indicated last week. All sorts of popular manifestations in favor of the bill are being arranged in order to inlluence opinion. A num­ ber of clubs and societies, Including the Colnnial-Gessellschaft, are preparing a campaign of agitation fur the proposed naval increase. How deeply the em peror's idea seems to have sunk Into the public mind is shown by a decla ration in its favor by the liberal Tage blatt. while the liberal Borsen-Courier argues that a majority can be had in the reichstag for the plan without the •Agrarians and the socialists, so the em peror need not sacricflce his midland bill. The government, through Herr rupp's organ, the semi-oflieial Poli tischen Nachrichten, gives among the reasons for the contemplated increase the advent of the United States as a new weltmaoht, the co-operation of Great Britain and the United States in Samoa and the war in South Africa, which had much to do with the con ception of the plan. The article says: "The recent mis use nf power by two great nations toward a weaker, the sudden growth of some navies, the prevention of Inter -ntion of European powers in favor of a weaker by the aid of an enormous sea power of one nation, anil the impossi bility of Kuropean interference when America took not only the West In dian but also Asiatic possessions of Spain, are sufficient reasons for a much larger navy." Th'e article is of special interest be cause It was inspired, seems to be an admission of what official Germany has all along denied—the existence of strong desire to Interefere with the United States last year and with Great Britain this year, which was only curbed by the potent consideration that Germany did not have a navy large enough to carry out her desire. JUDGE WOOLSON ILL. Will Not He Able to Hold Coming Term of Court. Ties Moines, Nov. 6.—Hon. John S. Woolson, judge of the United States district court of the southern district of Iowa, is confined to his home ill from overwork, and in the opinion of his physicians he will not be able to pre side at the coming term of the federal court. He has not been well for some time past, but has persisted at remain ing constantly at his desk through the summer and became quite .sick last week at Keokuk. He was compelled to come home and rest under the doctor's care, and it is not probable that he will be permitted to do any mental work for some months. He will probably take a vacation out of the city. An effort is being made to secure Judge Shiras' presence at the Des Moines court, but it is not known yet whether lie will be able to come and preside. Killing In HanHruptcy Cnse. Dubuque, Nov. 6.—Judge Shiras made an important ruling in a bankruptcy case. It was that of H. W. Uelster, bankrupt, wherein the petition in his behalf in the federal court, asking the court to grant an order staying further proceedings in a suit pending in the district court of O'Brien county against him, until the question of the issuance of a discharge has been determined. Judge Shiras held that the proper prac tice was for the bankrupt to apply to the stale court for the application. It would be the duty of the state court to grant the same, as provided for In sec tion 11 of the bankruptcy act, and for that reason Judge Shiras refused to Is sue the order prayed for.

Now Believed 1 hat the Insurgents Are fraotioally Hemmed in— Present Plans. If They Prove Successful the Phil ippine War Will Be Ended Soon. "Washington, Nov. 6.—There is good reason to expect the capture of Agui naldo and his followers within a short time, If reports oI the strategical move ments of our armies In the Philippines are correctly understood. From the new movements of our forces, as given in recent dispatches, it is hoped that the crafty leader of the natives may be hemmed in between Gen. Wheaton's forces to the north and Gen. MacAr thur's on the south. Aguinaldo is sup posed to be camped near Bayambang, which is less than twenty miles from Dagupan and forty miles from An geles. Gen. MacArthur's main command was at Angeles when last heard from, and it is thought that by this time he has reached Tarlac and captured It. This is important, as it would mean that the railroad up to that point is in the hands of the American forces. It is thought that he ought to be close to Bayambang by the time this dispatch is read. As stated yesterday, Gen. Otis had set the dates of Nov. 5 and 6 for com mencing his campaign anew. The war department received dispatches Satur day that indicated this plan has been carried out. Moreover, Gen. Otis' ca blegrams are more optimistic than ever, and the department Is sanguine at this moment that the entire rebel lion will be crushed within the month. An official who is perfectly posted on the situation as it changes daily tends that Aguinaldo Is at or Bayambang. with scarcely 3,000 con near men. From this authority it is learned that Gen. MacArthur will aim to make Bayambang his base from now on, driving Aguinaldo before him. On go ing north he would thus capture, be sides Tarlac. the towns of Panique, Moncada and smaller places. Gen. Lawton is counted on moving from Cabantuan and throwing out his columns so as to sweep the I'tio Agno \alley .through which Aguinaldo would -ndeavor to escape when compelled to leave Bayambang. Last acounts were to the effect thai Gen. Lawton had cap tured several tcvns north, west and northwest from his base of operation, Cabantuan. Though ills movements up to this time have been within the confines of the department directing them, it is said on authority that he headed an ex pedition s-nt out on transports for the Gulf of Lir.s'-.yen. The navy had pre viously si tiled the settlements on the southern coast of the gulf, and the ex tr-ditioo was thus landed safely. This hems in the (netny on all sides, and it was on the arr'.val of ail these troops in their respective positions that the for ward movement was ordered by Otis. Aguinaldo has but one loophole, and that is a narrow one—the Ulo Agno valley—from which he could get into the mountains. Ail divisions of our army are keeping scouts well spread in advance so that escape will be most difficult for the Flilplno general. It seems to have been figured out by the authorities that Aguinaldo would not attempt to cross the mountains to the northeastward for the Reason that when he gets on the other side he will come in contact with other tribes of natives who would be quite as hostile to the Tagals as i'ie American troops. To AttncU ItiHUrtrcnts* Menr. Manila, Nov. 6.—A fleet of transports and gunOoats left Manila last evening for 1li" most important expedition of the autumn campaign. Its destination Is supposed '.a be Dagupan or some other northern pert. Cf'.. AVhealoti commands, with a bri gade consisting of the Thirteenth In fantry, the Thirty-third infantry, two guns of the Sixth artillery and two gat lings. The transports Sheridan, Fran isco de Reyes and Aztec carry the troops, with the gunboat Helena as es cort. A dispatch boat was sent ahead to ar range a rendezvous with the United States cruiser Charleston and the other war ships that are patroling-the-north coast of Luzon. The landing will be made under cover of the guns of the lleet. It Is assumed here that the purpose of the expedition is to move down the Bagupan-Manila railroad toward Tarlac or to prevent Aguincldo's foi'c? making anotliei base farther north. Dagupan and Apparri are the strong holds of the insurgents in the north and, it is supposed, the points where most of the filibustering parties land. Since the beginning of the hostilities it has been the unanimous opinion of military experts here that Dagupan should be made a base of operations, but sufflient troops have heretofore been lacking. With Gens. Wheaton, MacArthur and I.awton moving upon Tarlac from three directions, and the mountains humming in the other side, the insurgent capital will soon become untenable. Aguinaldo may attempt to ship his headrjuurters to the rich tobacco coun try at the northern end of the Island. Possibly he may slide around Gen. Liawton's front to the southern prov inces, but as MacArthur's and Law ton's troops urn spread aqross the coun try from Angeles to Cabanatuan, it will be difficult for the insurgents to escape. Should the concerted operations suc ceed organized insurrection on a large scale should be at an end early next spring, although guerrilla warfare is likely to continue for a long time. No one anticipates that the insurgents will make many hard battles. The problem Is to move the troops about the coun try. to maintain transportation and to hold the territory gained. The moral effect of the arrival of a large American, army is calculated up on to sap Aguinaldo's strength by de sertions and through the loss of hope among the supporters of, the revolu tionary movement. BRYAH HARD HIT. 1'opnliat National Committeeman Denver, of Nebraska, Makes State ment of inuei. Omaha, Nov. 6.—"Imperialism is straw man set up by the democratic politicians, the men who are trying to make politics" out of the war, out of duty to country. It was the duty of President McKlnley to do just what he has done the half baked democrats would have opposed any doctrine be might have adopted." This is the statement made by D. Clem Deaver, populist national com mitteeman of Nebraska, who declares himself a full-fledged expansionist His decided stand supporting the adminis tration in its Philippine policy is a di rect blow at William J. Bryan in his home state. Mr. Deaver asserts Mr. Bryan insisted upon antagonizing ex pansion in the face of the better judg ment of the great rank and file of the populist party, and also of the influen tial leaders, who foresaw that such a course would be suicidal in the present temper of the American public. "In my opinion," continued Mr. Deaver, "the west and the south are interested in building and civilizing the Philippine islands and In developing a great shipping trade there must be great shipbuilding yards on the Pacific coast and on the gulf coast after the Nicaragua canal shall have been com pleted. Everybody knows the unlimit ed resources of the Philippine islands only capital and shipping is necessary to develop an enormous trade with thi Islands. All the talk about murdering the Filipinos Is nonsense. We have been crowding the Indians and shoot ing them down when they resisted ever since the Mayflower landed at Ply mouth Rock. The Filipinos have not cultivated to exceed one acre in twelve of those Pacific isles. We shall delve Into the rich mineral deposits, cultivate the lands, Improve the towns, build schools and churches, and in short, Americanize the islands. American energy and capital will create a rich, productive country within twenty-five years. "This nation must take its place as a world power," continued Mr. Deaver. "Having the best government in the world, we must seek to Impart its bless ings to less favored peoples for the ulti mate good of mankind. A splendid op portunity Is opening up for the populist party. The democratic party, having taken an unpatriotic position, cannot long survive. The southern states, peo pled by patriots of the old school, will desert the democratic standard and come to the populist party so long as it declares for the policy of expansion and labors to bring about financial reform. The south has been for expansion from the beginning. "The history of the nation shows gradual expansion since the union of the original thirteen colonies. The south is vitally interested In building up a large trade with the orient. Ex pansion will build up the south com mercially. In my opinion populists cannot afford to commit themselves to a policy of obstruction in the grand march of civilization upon which the American people have entered." It is Mr. Weaver's purpose to make his position felt throughout the south, as he is certain the populists of the west andl south will next year agree on policy \n consonance with his views on the subject. Mr. Deaver is one of the leading pop ulists of Nebraska, and stands high in the councils of his party, being one of ts national committeemen. He is not a professional politician, yet he has done some hard work for populism for the sake of principle rather than foi oillce. Recently Mr. beaver has made several appeals to his partisans to re pudiate the fusion compact and to de clare themselves free and independent the democratic, machine. His opin ions on this question have made a de ided Impression upon mid-road popu lists in this and other states. Probably the most sensational state ment he has made Is that at the last fusion state convention a faction of populists sought to get a plank in the fusion state platform favorable to ex pansion. It was in line with Senator William A'. Allen's speeches on the floor of the senate, in which he indorsed the policy of tile administration with respect to the Philippines, and his posi tion was endorsed by many mid-road populists In Nebraska, among whom is Mr. Deaver. The latter says that when a plank along this line was submitted to the platform committee, which Mr. Bryan dominated, it was rejected and in its place there was submitted a plank written by Mr. Bryan and which was subsequently railroaded through the convention regardless of the convic tions of the mid-road populists. HoIh republican and fusion leaders have given their final estimates of the result of the campaign in Nebraska. All express themselves as sanguine of victory, yet som" of the more conserva tive are willing to admit the result will be close. Orlando Tefft, chairman of the repub lican state committee, said his party will carry Nebraska by 3,000 to 10,000 majority. A month ago Chairman J. H. Edmiston of the populist committee claimed the state by 25,000. Today he predicts a majority of only 15,000. Con gressman South'-r.and, a fusionist, says the result will be very close, as do Con gressman St i'k j'i'd Attorney General Smith, fusionist. J. C. Pahlman, chalr ma.n of the democratic state commit tee, has reduced his claim to 12,000. Mr. Bryan said Saturday night that tli^ fuslonlsts have gained recruits, and that their partisans will go to the polls. The fusion majority in the state, he adds, will liht-w a considerable increase.

Stomach troubles are so common and In most cases so obstlnate'to curje that people are apt to look with suspicion on any remedy claiming to be a radical, permanent cure for dyspepsia and indi gestion. Many such pride themselves on their acuteness in never being hum bugged, especially in medicines. This fear of being humbugged, can be carried too far, so far, in fact, that many people suffer for years with weak digestion rather than risk a little time and money in faithfully testing the claims made of a preparation so reliable and universally used as Stuart's Dys pepsia Tablets. Now Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are vastly different in one important re spect from ordinary proprietary'medi cines for the reason that they are not 'a secret patent medicine, no secret is made of their ingredients, but analysis shows them to contain the natural' di gestive ferments, pure aseptic pepsin, the digestive acids. Gold en Seal, bismuth, hydrastis and nux. They are not cathartic, neither do they act powerfully on any organ, but they cure Indigestion on the.common sense plan of digesting the food eaten thoroughly before it has time to ferment, sour and cause the mis chief. This is the only secret of their, success. Cathartic pills never have and never can cure indigestion and stomach trou bles because they act entirely in the bowels, whereas the whole trouble is really in the stomach. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets taken af ter meals digest the food. That is all there la to It. Food not digested or half digested is poison, as it creates gas, acidity, headaches, palpitation of the it^fheart, loss of flesh and appetite and %&£many other troubles which are often called by some other name.

MAR8HLLTOWN IOWA PENNYROYAL PILLS arm* THE OUTLOOK IN IOWA What the Republican Managers Think of the Situation—The Legislature. Interest on the Eve of Election is a Better Tban Was Anticipated Earlier. Still an Uneasy Uncertainty Due to Fear of the Stay-at-Home Vote. Chairman Weaver Predicts Repub lican Pluralty of 40,000—Esti mate of the Situation. Correspondents are requested not to wlro election returns. Other arrangements have been made for receiving full returns. Special to Times-Republican.' Des Moines, Nov. 6.—The campaign is closing with a better interest than seemed possible a few weeks ago, though there Is still an uncomfortable uncertainty, it must be admitted, about how thoroughly the republican vote is going to be polled. All predictions from a republican standpoint are qualified by the proviso, "If the vote Is polled." The state organization has done all In its power with the limited means at its command to get the local workers thoroughly imbued with the idea that they need to work this year Just as much as in any other year, and that the republican party in Iowa has ma jorities only by Its voters getting to the polls and doing their duty. The difficulty is that the republicans, even some of the committeemen. In the strong republican counties, do not see the use of getting out and doing their share of the state work. They think because everything Is going one way with them that it is so all over the state. They do not realize what Is so well known at the state headquarters, that the other fellows are just as act ive and that they are getting in their work in other localities that will count in the state at large, reducing the ma jority and producing a bad effect, giv ing a false impression of thrf sentiment of the state. If there was any sure way to arouse the republicans of the back counties," where the big repub lican majorities come from—and this includes all the sure republican coun ties, where there is no fear over the county ticket—and make them see that their work Is just as important as ever and absolutely necessary to re publican success, Governor Shaw would have about 65,000 majority over "White. As it is, he will have some where from 30,000 to 50,000. The demo cratic claim of getting 80 per cent, or any other large proportion, of the Ger man vote Is known by every well informed person now to be extrava gant and desperate. The proportion of German loss will be very small indeed and will only be among an uneducated class, that can be reached by gross misrepresentation and appeals to preju dice. The great mass of German voters of the state are too intelligent to be fooled In this manner. .V Chairman "Weaver made the follow ing statement Saturday, which is the closest and best-founded forecast that has yet been made: "Governor Shaw will be re-elected next Tuesday by 40,000 plurality over Fred E. White, the fusion nominee, and It may be more. We expect to increase our vote over last year, when George L. Dobson, republican nominee for secre tary of state, had 236,281 votes, a de crease of 53,012 from McKinley's vote in 1896, but an Increase of 11,553 over Governor Shaw's in 1897. "The republican vote In Iowa in 1896 was 2S9.293 and the fusion vote 223.741, a republican plurality of 65,512. In 1897 the republican vote fell to 224,728, a loss of 64,565, while the fusionists suffered a loss of 28,898. Last year the republic ans gained, but the fusion loss, com pared with 1896, was 50,742. It is the rule In Iowa that the re publican vote suffers its heaviest fall ing off in the year following the presi dential election and gradually in creases the second and third years. This did not happen in 1895, but that was an exception. This year we expect to make gains, providing the repub lican vote in the state is polled The result is In no way uncertain except as to the size of the republican majority, and that depends altogether upon how thoroughly the local com mitteemen attend to the bringing of re publican voters to the polls. We have a better organization than is had in most "off" years. The county chairmen have nearly all attended promptly to their part of the work. I have personally met and conferred with eighty-seven of the ninety-nine county chairmen and I feel that the organization is equal to the emergency, "We have been in correspondence with 2.000 precinct committeemen and have pledges personally signed from 1, 800 local workers to devote their time to seeing that every republican vote in their several precincts is cast. My judgment of the situation Is based upon close touch with the local committee men and my estimate depends entirely upon the execution of the work laid out for election day for the local workers. If they do their duty my predictions will be fully realized. "Besides the work of these local committeemen and their assitants I rely upon the patriotic inspiration our: people have felt and shown over definite statement in regard to it. We are making these gains on the issue of imperialism chiefly. "GEORGE A. HUFFMAN, "Chairman Democratic State Com mittee." Republican expectations will proba bly be discounted heavier on the legis lature than anywhere else. There are more close and doubtful districts than there have been before for several years. A variety of causeB has con tributed to this condition. Two years ago the republicans had thirty-eight in the senate and sixty-one in the house, or ninety-nine on joint ballot. To do as well as this is all that conseravtive re publicans expect, and most of them will not be surprised to see the number of republicans in the legislature re duced below this figure: neither will they be greatly surprised if the num ber reaches 106 or even 108. The following estimate of the situa tion in the legislative districts was pre pared Saturday, after a careful exami nation of the situation, from both sides, the Intention being to give the true situation as nearly as it can be learned: The best information obtainable is to the effect that in the senate, where thirty members are to be elected, twen ty are surely republican, two surely democratic, five clone and probably re publican, two close and probably demo cratic and one doubtful. Of the twenty hold-overs, twelve are republican and eight democratic. In the house fifty-three out of 100 are regarded as surely republican, twelve surely democratic, eighteen close and probably republican, eight close and probably democratic and nine doubtful. This would give the republicans eighty-five sure on joint ballot, with good chances of getting twenty-three more, giving them 108. This is taking the most hopeful view from a repub lican standpoint. It is almost certain that some of the districts claimed by the republicans will elect democrats, and the most conservative estimate places the republican strength on joint ballot at about 100.

Some of th'se estimates may need a little qualification. The friends of C, T. Hancock insist that he will be elect ed in Dubuque, on account of his per sonal popularity. The chaiio.s for the election of Sena tor Ranck are decidedly better than they were and his election Is confident ly predicted iy those In a position to know the situation. He has been hav ing good me tings, getting the republi cans interested, while the democrats have arousal very little interest in their campaign. In Benton county the conditions have improved for the republican candidate, and while it is close, his friends and the best posted men in the county think he is safe. Carroll county, too, promises to line up with a republican representative for the first time since the (lays of pro hibition. That is, there is a good chance of it, republicans insist, owing to the personal popularity of their nominee. In Shelby county ex-Speaker Byers is making a tine campaign and is expected to mln by many. He can win if any one of a positive character can in that normally democratic county. Senator Berry is having just the kind of fight that was predicted for him when he went into the contest with Clarke county claiming the senatorshlp belonged to them. But he is going to be elected. The latest information is that Lieut. Col. M. Miller will not be able to mako It in the Adams-Taylor district, be cause he can't get more than his share of the soldier votes the republicans of Adams county are following Senator Mitchell In saying that the county must not try to punish Taylor at the expense of the party. This principle will save both Berry and Arthaud. The cause of Senator Gear is expected to elect one or two republican represen tatives from Des Moines County. The B., C. R. N.

This new line will open up a lot of fine country and will give the Burlington the best service from Minneapolis to Chicago. It is also a fine thing for Germania, as this will be made a divis ion point from Minneapolis.

Ida Grove, Nov. 6.—Governor Shaw's meeting Saturday night was the event of the season. Farmers, with their fam ilies, drove in many miles and an hour before the governor arrived every foot of standing room was occupied in thf Grand opera house. The other opera house was then thrown open and was quickly filled. Mr. Shaw arrived on the o'clock train and spoke at both houses, Senator Hobai-t alternating with him. After the speaking an in formal reception was held at the Grand. Hundreds of voters remained until mid night to say good words of cheer to the governor and shake hands. It was a great republican meeting and con trasted strangely with the reception of Fred White while here recently, ^r. White spoke to a good sized house and was at his best, but was left to enter tain himself at the hotel, no one accompanying him or remaining with him to introduce him. A travel ing man volunteered to answer numer ous questions Mr. White wished to ask regarding the town and political sit uation in the county. Mr. Shaw pre sents the republican policy in a plain and manly style. He said he was as much opposed to the trust as any man and no democrat could raise a contro versy with him on that question. He felt the first duty of citizenship was to support his government. He was not. an ally of Aguinaldo or any set of men, shooting bullets or epithets at United States soldiers. His speech was a vote maker and will result in a republican victory Tuesday. Allison at Humboldt. Special to Times-Republican. Humboldt, Nov. 6.—Senator Allison gave us one of the great speeches of his lif? here Friday night. He thor oughly yet courteously exposed all the pretended issues raised by the demo era tic party this fall, especially "im perialism" and trusts, and showed that on all these questions republicans, dom ocrats and populists had always voted independently of party lines and that any issue now raised on these lines is a false issue. Even Bryan himself lob b'ied the senate most diligently, urging the ratification of the treaty with Spain, knowing as he did the conse quences that must flow therefrom. A TRAGEDY AT KNOXVILLE. John Dawson in a Fit of Jealousy Shoots Wife and Sell. Knoxville, Nov. 6.—A terrible tragedy was enacted here about 4 o'clock Sat urday afternoon. John Dawson, a drayman, of this city, saw his wife In company with a little girl on the side walk, when he sprang from his dray, and seizing her by the arm. said: "Josie, will you come home and live with me?" She replied: "No, I will not." He jerked out a revolver and pointed it at her, when, in order to save her life, she said: "Yes, yes." But it was of no avail, as he fired directly at her, but missed. The woman then started to run and Dawson continued to fire, one bullet striking her in the back of the head. The wounded woman whirled around and around and sank to the walk. Dawson stood watching her until she fell, when he turned the revolver to his own brain and fired. Death ensued in a short time. The woman was taken to' her home and it is thought she will die. Since the probable murder and suicide it has leaked out that Dawson has been making threats for some time, as he seems to have been almost insanely jealous. Only a week ago he got up in the night, cleaned his revolver and made preparations to take his own life, but concluded to waft and take his wife's also, so, as he said, they would both go together. Dawson was a man of middle age, who has been married three times. His wife was young, only about 24 years old, and remarkably good looking. They could not live together and the wife had returned to her father's home, from where he had taken her. Dawson was accused of watching around her father's house and had been warned away by her father and brother, there being but one at home, though the other is expected with Company D. Dawson was a man of violent temper and jealous disposition, who had trou ble with his second wife, 'from whom he was divorced. His first wife is dead. He was of a morose, brooding disposi tion, and when his young wife would not obey all his behests, would give vent to unbearable abuse. The shooting caused Intense excite ment In the city. Crowds rushed to where Dawson lay In his blood upon the sidewalk. It will be a sad day for his wife's family, whose father, George Hodge, and wife, were expecting with joy the home coming of their son from mmm "CAMEO" BRAND V*v BRITTAIN CO., Pork Packers Pay the Highest Cash Price for Hogs.

THE ELECTION TOMORROW. The political situation of today is that of the lull which precedes a battle. The lines are being strengthened, the forces are being1 inspired for action, and tomorrow tlie struggle for political supremacy will call out every voter who has the proper public spirit to show his interest in local and state welfare. Last year the vote for the head of the state ticket, for secretary of state, was as follows: Dobson. republican, 236.2S1 Portor, democrat, 172,999: Smith, pro hibition, 7.r4:i Danieis, peoples, ."MBA: and Swrtnhiilm, socialist-labor, l.OSl. The total t/f this vote was 421,u73. This year the total vote will be greater, on account of the greater interests in volved. The republican party has made a strong presentation of issues, a stir ring campaign has been in progress for a montn, and the results tomor row should tell in another overwhelm ing victory for the party of progress and prosperity, and it will if every voter will do his duty and see that his neighbor also votes. The standing •watchword of tomorrow should be "Have you voted?" THE FILIPINOS AND LOCAL GOV ERNMENT The Philippine commissioners leport sets forth among other: things the ef forts to inaugurate local self-govern ments in towns and cities alia the suc cess met with at a number of points. They found the natives timid and hesi tating. In fact they say the condition of the people was pi'tiabie. They had toeen plundered by the insurgent troops, who robbed them of jewels, money, clothing and even food, so they were literally starving. Peaceful citizens'liad been fired on women had been mal treated. There wj- i, neral satisfac tion that the Americans had come at last and the simple scheme of municipal government framed lor them by Gen eral Law ton was adopted arid resulted in general satisfaction. It gave them liberties tliey had never before enjoyed and for this reason commended Itself as preferable to the o'd order of gov ernment. The people, were much like 'children,'however, in the initial work, and a great deal 'of. supervision was necessary.

N THE WALL STREET IM'LSE. Just at the time last week when Wall street was expecting ease in the money market Henry Clews notes the fact that "there was a return of stringency as sharp as anything experienced within the last two months." The interior cur rency movement is still against the New York banks, and while the de mand from the west shows some abate ment the requirements of the south have been increasing. The banking opinion very generally inclines to the conclusion that the fall return to ease will be much later this season usual. Clews notes the fact that un usuaTl causes are at work in the money market, the breadth and force of which it is not easy to measure. Something xnore than the movements incident to this crop season have to be calculated upon. Credit operations have been radically ihfluenced by the industrial revolution incidental to the great trust ^7\p^tar^^rpy» creations of the last ten months. Since January 1 corporations with a total of no less than $2,000,000,000 of capital is sues have been organized. These trans formations have been attended with immense temporary dislocations of cap ital. The negotiations have involved large loans destined to run until the new issues have been distributed and until underwriters have effected their liquidations. The national banks have doubtless participated to but a very small extent in these operations: but many of the trust companies, private bankers and other financial institu tions have probably made advances to the extent of millions of dollars with the consequence that these credit re sources are largely withheld from the uses to which they ordinarily contrib ute at this season of the year. In ad dition to this special employment of credit the demand for the ordinary purposes of business lias far surpassed all precedent. The lack of abundant money re stricts stock speculation, which may be regarded as a good thing. It also calls out another lesson about the lack of expansiveness in our currency brought about by such needs—if they can be so called. There is an abundance money in the country, but it is more evenly scattered anil meeting more legitimate demands than those of stock speculators. A LIBRARY COMMISSION. On the Sth and !Uh of this month there will be held in Cedar Rapids a meeting of library enthusiasts, men and woman from all over the state and a few from other states, who are de voted to the cause of library extension. These people for the most part are more than representative citizens: they are of the most highly cultured and progressive class and are making great efforts in a cause which they believe is for the good of the whole people. Many library experts will be present, experi enced librarians, representative women from women's clubs and members ot, library organizations of all kinds. The purpose of the meeting in a gen eral way is to perfect a better organi zation of the library workers of Iowa, but more directly to plan a campaign I for the establishment of a state library commission. The diffusion of learning throughout the state.by means of the public library is but just begun. Many useful laws have been passed making provisions for public libraries, and school libraries, allowing towns to levy taxes for public libraries and school districts to devote school funds to library purposes, but the possibilities afforded by the laws are not generally known. Judge Towner, with the aid of the. women.of Iowa, secured the pas sage of a law establishing a traveling library system, but even this is not thoroughly understood by the public. Some agency is needed which shall dif fuse information concerning these laws and which shall undertake the direc tion of library work in-, communities .where an interest has been aroused and arouse that interest where it is lacking. To this end the meeting at Cedar Rap ids will discuss the establishment of a library commission. It is proposed that, a state library commission be established composed of several active library workers who shair serve without pay and who shall, work, perhaps under the direction or supervision of the state librarian, in the interest# of the public library. These, commissioners "ivoulil be sent from place to place: over the state, lec turing' here, helping there, arousing in terest in public libraries, directing til" efforts of lubs and district schools to secure libraries of their own, helping to select books, making suggestions as to the management of libraries, explain ing how to benefit by the library laws of the state, "now to secure and use the traveling library, in fact" a thousand and one helpful things could be done by such a commission. It. has become an urgent necessity. The public library movement isproins to sweep like a tidal wave' over this land, diffusing knowl edge 'in the most inaccessible corners of this state. Its forces are already powerful, but unorganized. Competent direction is needed. This the cominis sion performs in many other states. It is to be hoped that it will be created in this state. The Iowa Federation of Women's Clubs, thanks to its efficient library committee, declared for such a commission at its last biennial meet ing, the Iowa Library Association is working for it and the library "cranks" over the state are in favor of it. Consequently, since the women and the cranks are "for" it the legislature can hardly afford to neglect to answer their demands and we may expect a library commission to be established this win ter as a result of the meeting this week at Cedar Rapids. the governor of the state to pardon of fenders and remit fines and penalties is in conflict %vlth the statute which guarantees to the Informer a share of the fine. A Chicago business man was before the court charged with having adver tised his business by means of pictures of his store showing in colors the rv^.T,r.»iwftrfii'^»*K«-•rc^mTrj^ w:3 Wm 1A American flag, which is displayed In electric lights on the front of the edi fice. After declaring the law void, on the point above mentioned, Judge Gibbons went on to express sound common sense in the following remarks: "Wherein is the ilag desecrated by making a lithograph or a picture there of as a trade-mark? If the common use of the Hag is to abate our veneration for it, why did our sologs pass a law making it compulsory upon those In charge to fly the national emblem from the llagstatf of every school house? Will the sight of the flag floating from the flagstaff enkindle patriotism in the breasts of the school children and quench such emotions when its picture is seen on the covers of their books? If the common use of an emblem is to detract from the reverence we enter tain for that which it represents, why Is the emblem of Christianity made so conspicuous in the beautiful regalia of the Knights Templar and in the artis tic .decorations and ornamentation of church edfices? "There are fighting Christians, as there are fighting patriots. Men who in their outward acts and demeanor disgrace both creed and'country men whose touch would sully the cross or flag, yet if either were assailed would offer their lives in its defense. The men who today are being prosecuted under this law would tomorrow leave home and kindred and rush to the front to defend the honor and glory of that dear old flag. We need no flag law in the state of Illinois to make men pa triotic, to prevent men from desecrat ing the flag. Every man in all this land vies with his neighbor in showing devotion, loyalty and reverence to the ilag, and it Is a reflection upon the names of Illinois' patriot dead to have enacted such a law." IOWA PRESS COMMENT. "Governor Shaw has made a splendid state official. He is an able man, a strong campaigner, a loyal supporter of the administration, and is in every way deserving of a big majority at the polls." says the Mount Pleasant Jour nal. The Sioux City Tribune thinks "every individual can do a great deal to solve the convict labor problem. A firm re solve to avoid any act which involves a forfeiture of liberty will t\o more to solve the question than laws and reso lutions." I The Toledo Chronicle states that after Governor Shaw's speech in To ledo an old-line democrat said: "If every democrat in the county could have heard that speech there would be less than a thousand democratic votes in the county this year." "Every man has time to be a gentle man. This statement holds true even in this busy end of the nineteenth cen tury," remarks the Ottumwa Courier. "The ballot is the poor man's defense against wrong," is the way the Albia Union puts it. Traer Star-Clipper: "Wo heard a Tama county banker say he hud 56,000 in gold on hand and he could not get rid of it. No one wants it. What a comparison with four years ago, when every piece of gold coin was treasured as if it were sacred! What brought the change? McKinley and confidence in the party he represents. Let us vote for the prosperity of 1899, instead of ihe panic of 1S95. •H- -l-I-M- TOPICS OF THE TIMES Form President McKinley today to vote and he example for others. V: FLAG LAW KNOCKED OTTT. Judge Gibbons, of Illinois, has de clared unconstitutional the flag law of that state which imposes a penalty for its use in advertising and in other ways tending to desecrate it. This jurist de cided that the informer's fee clause in the act is against the spirit of Ameri can law as tending to provoke strife and ill-will between man and man. The decision turns on this point, that the than power granted by the constitution to ra5??ffiw gMcettfttg Timsg-llepuhlicmt, IHarshanjtiXMi^ toura, IHtaralag, Nmjrcmteer 5,1 S93 *4$ oui'-df a committee of one vote tomorrow. get out The value of pre-election estimates is greatly discounted in Ohio by the claim of all three of the chairmen of state committees that iheir especial candi date will carry the state by many thou sands of votes. Judging the present by the past, which is a good method of es timating. and by the tendencies of to day, Ohio is safe for a good republican plurality Somp of the big city dentists are now using X-rays to detect maltormutions of the teeth and jaws. It is thought that there will be little army legislation by congress this win ter, on account of the present uncer tainly about the requirements of our forces. This is the opinion of the few of the representatives and senators now in Washington. Should the Fili pino insurrection collapse there would be more cause for decreasing than en larging the force, which is now sup posed to be adequate to the needs of the occasion. is enroute home thus sets a good During the six months ending on June »U there were u71 strikes inaug urated in Germany, which affected 2,910 establishments and 89,0-lS em ployes. it will thus be seen that our country is not the home of the strike. An exchange says a gentlemen in vited some friends to dinner, and as the colored servant entered the room he accidentally dropped a platter which held a turkey. "My friends," said the gentleman, in a most impressive tone, "nevep in my life have I witnessed an event so fraught with disaster to the various nations of the globe. In this calamity we see the downfall of Tur key, the upsetting of Greece, the de struction of China, and the humiliation of Africa." Despite the large production of gold in the United States last year Australia did a little better, while South Africa exceeded our product by some $15,000, 000. The war in the latter territory will reduce the output temporarily. Among the callers at the White House the other day "was William Hahn, formerly national committee man from Ohio, who gave the Presi dent an accurate review of the situa tion in the Btate. After leaving the President he said "There is not a. par ticle of doubt about Ohio, There is no more question than there is about Iowa. Ohio is a republican state. Every manufacturing establishment in the state is running1 to its full ca-. pacity, and it is impossible to get the necessary workmen. The worklngmen are satisfied with the present condition of affairs, which is different from that under the Cleveland administration. Jones will receive about 60,000 votes, and Nash will'be elected by a plurality of from 30,000 to 40,000. -Both branches of the legislature will be republican. Jones will find there is much difference between running for mayor of Toledo and governor of Ohio." As one result of a warm October and the impurities such a conditRn brings about typhoid fever developed at a number of points in Iowa, v'.'..-v' Germany is assuming a very friendly attitude toward our nation, and there is not the least reason why she should not. James H. Smith, the Chicago and Milwaukee banker who died in London, leaves most of his $50,000,000 to his nephew of the same name, living in New York. This nephew could not dis tinguish himself more than by remain ing in this country, instead of desert ing it, as his uncle did after becoming very wealthy. Instead of being a poor man, as some reports indicated, Ottmar Mer genthaler, the inventor of the linotype typesetting machine, left an estate of $400,000, an ample amount to provide for his family. Gen. Wheeler, now In {he Philippines, says he will resume his seat in con gress when that body meets. He evi dently believes the rebellion is on its last legs or can be crushed without his aid. The Cuban farmers have sent a peti tion to Gen. Brooke at Havana urging protection against American corn. They represent that they can realize but little on their crop because there is no duty on foreign grain and that they cannot recover their former prosperity while thus handicapped. They talk just like protectionists did in this country awhile ago. Vt It will snow tomorrow—that is, the gentle fall of white ballots will snow somebody under. IOWA GRIEVES WITH NEBRASKA. [Des Moines Register.] The death of Ex-Gov. Alvin Saun ders, of Nebraska, recalls the fact that he aided in establishing the broad and solid foundations upon which Iowa statehood has progressed until it has gained the leadership of all state gov ernments, for he came to Iowa "befori it was name.l," and he was one of tlx strong and sturdy fathers who had the courage to stand for the right and the physical and '.lental strength to estab lish their convictions 'in the constitu tion and laws of the state. The consti tution adopted by the first Iowa consti tutional convention wasWefeated by the people by a vote of 7,235 for to 7.650 against the constitution. Thai defeat necessitated another constitutional con vention, and the second Iowa constitu tional convention, assembled May 4. 18i6. adopted a constitution which was adopted by the people ot the state by a vote of 9,492 votes for to votes against the constitution. Alvin Saunders was one of the Henry county members of that second consti tutional convention of the state, and be I came so prominent therein and in other affairs that he was elected senator from Henry county In .1854. and re-elected in 1858. and was a member of the Fifth, Sixth. Seventh and Eighth general as semblies of Iowa. An examination of the proceedings of those legislatures will disclose that he was among the most active and useful members, and that his earnest and determined work is engrafted in many of the laws of the state. He was one of the most zealous of the fathers of the republican party, and it was his zeal for the nomination of Lincoln in the national republican convention of 1S60 that resulted In his being appointed territorial governor of Nebraska and bis removal from Iowa. He removed to Nebraska at the begin ning of the civil war and his death re moved the last of the "great war gov ernors" whose memories will be forever treasured by the people of the nation for. the firm and unconquerable man ner in which they sustained the govern ment during that war. Iowa's loss was Nebraska's gain ot Alvin Saunders, and he made Nebraska as loyal as Iowa during that war. He retained his interest in and his friend ship for Iowa to the last, as indicated by his letters In response to invitations to be present at the meetings of the Pi oneer Law-Makers' Association of Iowa. He was invited to all the meet ings of that association. In iespouse to the first invitation he wrote: "I as "sure you that it would be a greut treat "to me to meet so many of my old po litical friends, as I would hope to see "there. Some good n:ni true friends "with whom I mingled at the capital in "the earlier days have passed over the "river, have fallen asleep, and the re "flection that I would not meet them "would sadden the occasion a good "deal." His response to the Invitation to be present at the last meeting of the Pioneer Law-Makers, was written after he was SO years old, and as it contains some interesting references to his life in Iowa "before It was named," the let ter is presented here: "Omaha, Neb.. Fell 28. 1898.—Messrs. Hoyt Sherman and ~tl. F. Gue, Des Moines, la.: With sincere feelings of thankfulness I acknowledge the receipt of your joint favor as presldenr and secretary of the Pioneer Law-Makers Association of Iowa.

MILITARY PREPAREDNESS. In the November number of the Cen tury Magazine, In a paper on "Military Preparedness and Unpreparedness," Governor Roosevelt contrasts the con dition of the American army with that of the navy in 1898, and draws an obvi ous moral from the contrast: As fast as the new navy was built we had to break In the men to handle it. The young officers who first took hold and developed the possibilities of our torpedo boats, for instance, really deserve as much credit as their suc cessors have rightly received for hand ling them with dash and skill during the war. The admirals who first exer cised the new ships In squadrons were giving the training without which Dewey and Sampson would have found their tasks incomparably more difficult. As for the ordinary ofHcers and sea men, of course it was their incessant practice in handling the ships and the guns at sea, in all kinds of weather, both alone and in company, year in and year out, that made them able to keep up the never relaxing night blockade at Santiago, to steam into Manila bay in the darkness, to prevent breakdowns and make repairs of the machinery, and finally to hit what they aimed at when the battle was on. In the naval bureaus the great bulk of what In the army would be called staff places are held by line officers. The men who made ready the guns were the same men who afterward used them. In the engineering bureau were the men who had handled or were to handle the en gines in action. The bureau of naviga tion, the bureau of equipment, the bu reau of information, were held by men who had commanded ships in actual service, or who were thus to command them against the Spaniards. The head of the bureau of navigation is the chief of Staff, and he has always been an of ficer of distinction, detailed, like all the other bureau chiefs, for special service. From the highest to the lowest officer, every naval man had seen and taken part, during time of peace, in the work which he would have to do in the time of war. The commodores and captains who took active, part in the war had commanded fleets in sea service or at the least had been in command of single ships in these fleets. There was not one thing they were to do in war which they had not done in peace, save actually receive the enemy's fire. Contrast this with the army. The ma terial In the army Is exactly as good as that in the navy, and in the. lower ranks the excellence Is as great. In no service, ashore or afloat. In the world could better men of their grade be found than the lieutenants, and In deed the captains, of the infantry and dismounted cavalry at Santiago. Hut in the army the staff bureaus are per manent positions, Instead of being held, as of course they should be, by officers detailed from the line, with the needs of the line anil experiences of actual ervlee fresh in their minds. The artillery had for thirty-five years had no field practice that was in the slightest degree adequate to Its needs, or that compared in any way with the practice received by the different com panies and troops of the infantry and cavalry. The bureaus In Washington were absolutely enmeshed in red tape, and were held for the most part by el derly men, of fine records In the past, who were no longer lit to breakthrough routine and to show the extraordinary energy, business capacity, initiative, and willingness to accept responsibility which were needed. Finally, the higher officers had been absolutely denied that hance to practice their profession to which the higher officers of the navy had long been accustomed. Every time war-ship goes to sea and cruises around the world, its captain has just such an experience as the colonel of a regiment would have if sent off for a six or eight month's march, and if dur ing those six or eight months he in cessantly practised his regiment In every item of duty which it would have to perform in battle. Every war ship in the American navy, and not a single regiment in the American ariny, had had this experience.

[Spirit Lake Beacon.] The democratic party of Iowa this year reaffirmed Its devotion to the Chi cago platform. Democrats the country over concede that Bryan will head the party ticket next year. The platform and the candidate are opposed to every principle that triumphed in 1896. Every vote for Fred White is a vote to haul down the flag in the Philippines to condemn the republican party for what it has done to restore confidence and bring in prosperity to endorse free sil ver to encourage free trade to dis credit sound money and safe govern ment. For a republican to stay at home and not vote at all is just half as bad, as the matter shows up in the election tables. If you are for Fred White, and Bryan, and the Chicago platform, and Agulnaldo, vote the democratic ticket. If you do not want to encourage this program, get out and be counted next Tuesday. It Is up to the people. THANKSGIVING FOWLS. [Homestead.] It is high time that all turkeys, geese and other fowls Intended for Thanksgiving should be fattened. We do not mean that they should, be penned up and stuffed with all the fat tening food they can be Induced to eat, but that the food given them be of fat tening nature, and by keeping them in the best of health they will be in condi tlon to lay on fat. If they are shut up for any length of time and fattened they will soon begin to lose flesh. They may have a mess of vegetables, thick ened with meal, In the evening, and plenty of whole corn scattered liberally about where they will get It the first thing in the morning, before they go away for their day's hunt. If this method Is pursued and they are always at home there will be but little use for penning them up to fatten. The feed given them while they are running at large puts on such flesh as buyers like to have and while buyers do not like a lean turkey or goose, yet the fowls can be made too fat for the best prices. Tn selling them it may be necessary to sell part of the flock for Thanksgiving and keep the remainder until Christmas This will be determined largely by their condition, and those that will sell best should be sold at Thanksgiving time and the remainder prepared for the later market. As a rule the largest ones sell best at Christmas time. If good local market is at hand it' will be well to cater to Its demands, and by watching what is in demand It will be easy to meet its wants. WOMEN AS HOMESTEADERS [Ft. Dodge dhronlcsle.] Miss Anna Gilday, daughter of Mr and Mrs. B. W. Gilday, of this city, has accomplished a feat of courage which entitles her to much credit and inci dentally assures her an income of substantial^amount. A few years ago an older sister left her home In this city with the deter mination that she would become the owner of a farm In North Dakota, If courage and grit would secure it. Ar riving at Devil's Lake, she entered 160 acres of government lalnd and after building a small house, known in that vicinity as a "shack," she prepared to fulfill the requirements of the law, which demanded a residence on the land for a certain period. Alone, on a wide prairie, not a house in sight, she withstood all fears and dangers and no.t only fulfilled the demands of the law, but enhanced the value of her holdings by making such improve ments as she could arrange for. Dur ing her sojourn in this prairie country she made the acquaintance of a young man who had but a short time before been admitted to the bar and had fol lowed the old time advice to go west and grow up with the country. Their acquaintance grew to courtship and which terminated in marriage and Miss Gilday became Mrs. Denoyer. The laws of the state do not permit of mun and wife holding two entries and as the husband's land was the more valuable farm of the two, the tract was dis posed of at a liberal profit. Her success aroused the ambition of her sister at home in this ctfty and last March Miss Anna Gilday arrived at Devil's Lake, North Dakota. Three hours after her arrival she entered a tract of 160 acrcs of fine prairie land fifteen miles from town. As soon as the weather would permit a trip was made to the land and a location selected for a small house. Soon afterwards a "rihack" 12x14 was constructed and equipped for living. Then came the t'est alone, fifteen miles from town, no near neighbors, a com parative stranger and never before placed In so trying a position. For two weeks she lived in the "shack" on tilt open prairie, breathing the pure air and planning how she would Improve the land. The latter part of the period was not so distressing as the first few days and the small quarters did not seem so desolate. During the summer she made a number of pleasant acquaint ances among the young ladies of that vicinity who Hke "herself, were holding claims and it became a pleasant diver 9lon to visit around at the different "shacks." Dakota is a state of dis tances and fifteen miles is not consid ered far out. A small station seven miles from the claim, known as Ram sey, affords all necessary supplies and is quite convenient, although errands of importance are to Devil's Lake. The first year witnessed the breaking of thirty acres of land and this fall the plowing ground was further added to by the breaking of twenty more acres. In addition to this a reasonable hay crop was sold for $10, that commoditj being a very plentiful article and nol commanding a very high price. Next fall Miss Gilday will prove up on her farm and will then be the owner of 160 acres of good land not a foot of It but what can be turned to good ac count. She has returned to her home ir thl* city for the winter, but has formed a strong attachment for her boundless prairies of the Dakotaa. Although ex posed to the burning sun and Inclem encies of the weather, her features do not betray her experience and la ad- iiifStfvni trftMriHi Mtiiirtirt W ditlon to her experience she has en Joyed the best of health. She is cer tainly' deserving of much credit for her display of courage and the satisfactory manner in which she has acquired a substantial income.

Washington, Nov. 6.—The postofflce department has made public the annual report of A. ,W. Machen, superintend ent of rural free delivery, for 1899. The report Is approved by First Assistant Postmaster General Perry S. Heath, and will be incorporated in his annual report to the postmaster general. In his report Mr. Machen gives the history and effect on the postal service general ly of rural free delivery since its estab lishment. In speaking of its beneficial results, he says "There has been nothing in the his tory of the postal service of the United States so remarkable as the growth of the rural free delivery system. Within the last two* years, largely by the aid of the people themselves, who, in ap preciation of the helping hand which the government extended to them, have met these advances half way, it has im planted itself so firmly upon postal ad ministration that it can no longer be considered in the light of an experiment but has to be dealt with as an estab lished agency of progress, awaiting only the action of congress to determine how rapidly it shall be developed. ADVANTAGES OF THE SYSTEM. "The facts hereinafter set forth, with some elaboration of detail, which the importance of the subject seems to me to warrant, will, I think, demonstrate: "That the free delivery of mails in rural communities can be widely ex tended with great benefit to the peoplf and with little cost to the revenue. "That whenever the system has been judiciously inaugurated, with a sinceri purpose to make it a success, it has been followed by these beneficial re sults: "1. Increased postal receipts. More letters are written and received. Mori newspapers and magazines are sub scribed for. So marked Is this advance ment that quite a number o? rural routes already pay for themselves by the additional business they bring. "2. Enhancement of the value of farm lands reached by rural free delivery This increase of value has been esti mated at as high as $5 per acre in soint states. A moderate estimate is from $2 to $3 per acre. "3. A general Improvement of th condition of the roads traversed by th rural carrier. In the western stales es pecially the construction of good roads has been a prerequisite for the cstab lishment of rural free delivery service. In one county in Indiana a special agent reports that the farmers Incurred an expense of over $2,600 to grade anil gravel a road in order to obtain rural free delivery. INCREASE IN FARM PRODUCTS. "1. Better prices obtained for farm products, the producers being brought into daily touch with the state of the markets and thus being enabled to take advantage of., information heretofoi unattainable. "5. To these Material advantages may be added the educational benefit conferred by relieving the monotony of farm life through ready access to wholesome literature and the keeping of all rural residents, the young people as well as their elders, fully informed as to the stirring events of the day. The moral value of these civilizing inllu nees cannot be too highly rated." Mr. Machen's report shows that on the 1st of November, 11599. rural free delivery was in successful operation ver 333 routes, radiating over forty tates and one territory, as follows: Alabama, 1 Arkansas, 1 Arizona California, 14 Colorado, 5 Connecticut Delaware, 4: Florida, 1 Georgia. Illinois, 17: Indiana, 44 Iowa, 23 Kan -sas, 17 Kentucky, 2 Louisiana, Maine, 7 Maryland. 10 Massachusetts Michigan, 15 Minnesota, 7 Mis 11 souri, 12 Nebraska, 3: New Hampshire New Jersey, 7 Now York, 21 North Carolina, 1 North Dakota, 3: Ohio, 49 Oregon, 3 Pennsylvania, 15 Rhode Island, 5 South Carolina, 21 South Dakota, 2 Tennessee, Texas, Utah, 1 Vermont, 6 Virginia, 4 Wash ington, 1 West Virginia, 7 Wisconsin 15. Idaho, Mississippi, Montana and Wy oming were the only states not repre sented Itlnchnrt's Indian 1'fcturcs. In the summer of 3S9S the govern ment Indian bureau invited all th tribes of Indians in this country send delegates to an Indian congress and they gathered from far and nea with their ponies and tepees and gaud i.*st trappings in the exposition grounds at Omaha. Never before had there been and never again will there be such a gathering. There wore about 500 of them, some partly civilized, but the greater portion picturesque in original savagery. Strange as It may seem at this late, day, many of the Indians de clared that before coming to Omaha they had no idea what multitudes of white men there were or how hopeless it was to try to stand against them. This was probably the last time that so omplete and spectacular a view of the North American Indian will be possible and those who had the privilege of wit nessing It are to be counted fortunate. At the time of the Indian congress prominent photographer obtained per mission to take the photographs of the most noted chiefs present and suc ceeded in obtaining a collection which never will be equaled. Mr. Rhinehart, he photographer, copyrighted all these pictures and placed a few art stores 'ome hand-colored proofs which, not- withstanding their high price, sold at have once and these Indian pictures become the fad of the year. The Chi cago Great Western railway has suc ceeded. at large expense, in obtaining from Mr. Rhinehart the privilege of re producing the best four of these pic tures, Chiefs "Wolf Robe." "Louison," "Hollow Horn Bear" and "Hattie Tom," and have incorporated them in an art calendar for 19*0. which is pro nounced the most artistic production yet attempted. The heads are 6xS inches, one on a sheet, wonderfully re produced In all their original colors, and when framed make most striking and effective pictures, particularly suited for holiday gifts. Owing to the expense, but a very small edition has been issued. They will be sent, how ever, while the supply lasts to any per son sending 25 cents in stamps or silver to cover the royalty charges and the expense of packing and mailing to F. H.

Iowa SO, Nebraska O. Omaha, Neb., Nov. 6.—The University of Iowa eleven won as It pleased in the annual game with Nebraska Saturday. No hostile runner has passed around the Iowa goal posts this season, and the young men In yellow jerseys contin ued their clean record Saturday by a score of 30 to 0. The only concession hich Iowa has been obliged to make so far this year is to Chicago, the ma roons scoring five points from a field kick in a game which the Hawkeyes are proud to remember was a tie. The Iowa men had all the advantage in weight and training in the game. They played aggressive ball, running hard and "low with flawless interference. All the long gains were made around the ends, the Nebraskans proving de ficient in tackling. The line-up: Iowa. Nebraska. Watters .R. E.. ..Cortelyou Ely R. Kingsbury Brockway R.

Des Moines, Nov. 6.—Drake Universi ty demonstrated her superior football ability Saturday by defeating the Uni versity of Missouri by a score of 11 to 0 in one of the hardest fought games ever seen on a Des Moines gridiron. It was principally a line-bucking game, and Drake showed superior work offensive rlay, going through the Missouri line r. peatedly for long gains. The famous rushes of the Missouri tigers were stopped with a loss each time. Drake's speedy backs, with fine interference, went repeatedly around Missouri's end. If it had not been for costly fumbles by Drake when the ball was on Missou ri's five-yard line the score would have been even larger than it was. The line up: Drake. Missouri.

The principal thing shown was the tremendous strides which Yale ind Princeton seeni to have taken in the last week.

Yale,now looks like a dangerous rival of Harvard. Harvard's defeat of Pennsylvania was as easy as anticipat ed. The only unusual features in the west was Northwestern's victory at Minneapolis and S.

This is a realistic nge, averse to con vention and loving to be told the plain truth about everything. As an appro priate corrcctive or supplement to the romantic view of mediaeval life, which leaves out of account everything that is not picturesque, we know of nothing better than Mr. Hopkins' essays. Cer tainly no one would learn from Scott or Hugo that a city in the middle uges had diffused that pungent odor which could be smelled leagues away and which was capable of turning a king, the brave rhilippe-Augtiste, sick when he put his head one day out of a win dow. The conditions of life varied little in different countries, and when Mr. Hop kins raises the curtain a little—over so little—upon old Paris we may be sure that old London and old Vienna were not a whit better. We see a great town with out a single drain, roadways heaped with refuse, a river that is an open sewer and slops descending from every win dow. We see princes upset by swine on the street and meet delicate queens who eat with their lingers and observe in an airy manner that tlieir hands have not 1 heen washed for eight days and yet look nice. Every one, in short, lived in a pigsty and behaved "as sieh." Nor have things improved much when we come down to the reign of the Grand Monnrque. That ruler had an excellent appetite and was observed to eat at one sitting "four platefuls of different soups, a whole phwisant, a partridge, a great plate of salad, two great slices of ham, a plate of mutton seasoned with garlic, pastry and after that fruit and hard boiled eggs." Yet this is the only sense in which he and his courtiers may be said to have •lived well. They drenched themselves with perfumes to disguise odors less agreeable, ate off plates without forks and plunged their spoons into the com mon dish. Manuals of good breeding published in the palmy days of French politeness be fore the revolution advise their reader to wash his face nearly every day if possi ble and warn him against sitting down to table with his hat on, lookiug jealous ly at his neighbor's plate and heaping too much on his own, choking himself by gulping wine too fast, pocketing fruit at dessert and using his napkin as a pocket handkerchief. Such were the counsels solcuiuly urged upon gentlemen who figure in Watteau and who wore sky blue aud claret colors and sported silk Mocking* and silver buckle*. 2 ORCHARD AND GARDEN. A good plant needs no more room than a poor- one. If any kind of garden seed Is sown, let it be the best. The best location for the peach orchard is on high ground. When wr-edii or grass are allowed to grow with tb vine.!. th»y rob them of the plant food that rightfully belongs to the plants. Dwarf pears bear sooner, and the fruit is more easily gathered, while the trees occupy less room and are mure easily sprayed. Plant raspberries In rows five feet apart and three feet apart in the row blackberries in rows eight feet apart and three feet apart in the row. Old quince trees may often be benefit ed if the branches are carefully thinned out and a good dressing of manure ap plied. CALIFORNIA. Tlirouiili 'J'ourlst Sleept.rs.

Conservative Estimates Fail to Show Any Other Result—The City Vote. 'K vi: -V'^ McPherson Will Carry the Town But Will Lose Over Two Yeare Ago in the Country. Correspondents are requested not to wire election returns. Other arrangements have been made for recetvlnK full return*. The situation in Marshall county on the eve of the election is most encour aging to the republicans, and now that the actual -.vork of the campaign is con cluded a fair round-up of the situation is due the leaders of the T.-R. The only offlce wljlch the democrats have hoped to capture and on which they hoped to win is that of sheriff, and the efforts have been centered towards repeating their success of two years ago in regard to that offlce. Of course the causes which led up to the defeat of the republican condldate- in 1897 have some bearing on the present contest, but not to 'considerable extent, and with the excellent ticket the republi cans hav-i placed in nomination this year, against no part of which not one word could be said by even democrats, republican success in electing the entire ticket must be conceded. That Mr. McPher son will run ahead of his own ticket to some extent must also be conceded, but careful estimates, based on the vote of two years ago and that of last year, when the democrats made a special ef fort to elect their candidate for judge, go to show that Mr. Shoemaker will win by a majority of 500. Some of the estimates give his majority at a little less, others a little more. Mr. McPherson will go out of the city with a majority of about 200 votes. He can not be conceded more than that, as two years ago, with an unpopular can didate on the republican ticket, he car ried the city by only 23i votes. This year he is conceded the First and Fourth wards, with an even break in tne Third. Mr. Shoemaker will cari the second by a handsome majority. But to win Mr. McPherson would have to "go to the country with about 700 ma jority as Mr. Shoemakerwill poll almost the full republican strength In the country and in the towns outside of Marshalltown. Mr. McPherson will lose LeGrand, which he carried two years ago, and will lose State Center and Eden, in which he broke even with Mills. There is no reason to believe that he will carry a township outside of the few that are always democratic.. There fore, with an ordinarily heavy vote, he stands no possible show of winning. Chairman Estabrook, while he is not giving out his figures, says he has made a very careful -estimator-.and that Mr. Shoemaker will be elected by a good big majority. On the whole ticket Mr. Estabrook looks forward to a bigger majority than last year, when the re publican ticket secured a majority of 1,443 votes. Chairman Estabrook's fig ures place the republican majority at over 1,500 in the county. The county is In the best shape for two years, so far as organization and aggressive work go. The democrats have been doing some hard work, but the effets of this have been met on every hand in a clean but effective way. Over 2.000 personal letters have been sent out by Chairman Estabrook and Secretary Hoover, and they have been in touch with the situ ation in every precinct. Mr. Estabrook has arranged- to re ceive the election returns from both the Western Union, and the Postal, and these will be announced in the main court room. DIRECTORS ENJOINED. Timber ('reek Trustees Will Use New School llulldlnc for Klccllon Pur poses. In the controversy between the school directors and the trustees of Timber Creek township over the use of the new school building in sub-district No. 3 for election purposes Tuesday the trustees are winners. Saturday afternoon the trustees went before Judge Caswell and secured a writ to compel the contractor to turn the keys of 'the building, which were still in the contractor's posses sion, over to the directors. This was followed today by the Issuance of a writ of injunction restraining the di rectory from interfering with the trus tees in the preparation of the building for election purposes, and the voting booths are being put up. It will be re membered that the directors did not de sire the building, which has just been completed, used for election purposes, but as it is in the center of the town ship and the elections had previously been held in the old structure, the trustees desired to continue the elec tions there. The directors are A. A. Parker, Charles Noid and Nils Bottnen, and the trustees are W. H. Drlesback, Ed Putnam and H. P. Koeple. DOINGS IN POLICE CIRCLES. Several Mlxups Aired In 1'ollce Court —Other Cases. Saturday night was a busy one in po lice circles and as a result there were several cases to. be disposed of this morning. A fight late in the afternoon between E. D. Sanstrom and E. S. Mc Knlght, Timber Creek county residents, caused the arrest of both men by Offi cer Hanson. They were before Mayor Pierce and convicted of engaging in an affray. McKnight paid the costs and Sanstrom was committed. As a direct result of the quarrel, which was over 25 cents, Guy Mc Knight, a brother of one of the partici pants, was arrested by the officer mak ing the other arrests, charged with re sisting an officer. He pleaded guilty and paid his flne. About 7:30 o'clock Matt Cooper and J. F. Gowdy, the latter a hog buyer living near Ferguson, became engaged In a quarrel near Center and Main streets. Cooper claimed that Gowdy had made an^nsultlng'remark about a relative of his, While on the other hand Gowdy al leges that he did not knttw of such rela tlve and was not guilty of the -allega tion. At any rate blows were struck and Gowdy received the worst of it, getting a blow on the eye. He awore out f# an Information In Justice Burrltt's court. Cooper appearing before being arrested. He was tried on a charge of assault and battery and a decision will be given thto evening. John Shlllato and two fellows by the names of Williams and Hubler became involved in a quarrel about 1 o'clock Sunday morning, renewing trouble that' occurred a short time before at the Clem dance. They were arrested by City Marshal Jones and Officer Coch ran. Three cases for intoxication were be fore Mayor Pierce this morning, one from an arrest made by Officer Clark Saturday night, another by Officer Weaver and a third by City Marshal Jones. The usual disposition was made of the cases. Dr. H. H. Haden, Summit, Ala., says: "I think Kodol Dyspepsia Cure is a splendid medicine.

Newton Sunday Morning, After a Long Illness. Rev. 0. Holmes Die* at Cedar Rap ids—Interment to Be In Riverside. After a long illness, which was at tended with much suffering. Dr. F. S. Newton passed away Sunday morning shortly before 7 o'clock, at his home on North Third street. Dr. Newton had been 111 since April 4 last, when he was attacked with typhoid fever. He re covered from this, but the disease had left its effects on his lungs, which were not strong, and quick consumption de veloped, finally resulting in death. Dr. Newton was 44 years of age. He was born In Briugewater, Vt., in 1856, but had spent the greater portion of his life in Iowa. For fifteen years he prac ticed dentistry—for a short time at Zearing but for the past eleven years in this city. On July 4, 1882, at Nevada, ho was married to Miss Cora E. Bur dick, daughter of Z. C. and S. E. Bur dick. He is survived by his wife and six children—three boys and three birls. Three brothers, O. A. B. Newton, of Spencer Locke Ne"wton, of Lake Park, and Elmer E. Newton, of Cedar Falls, also survive. The brothers will be in the city to attend the funeral, O. A. B. Newton having reached the city on Saturday. The funeral will be held Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the Christian church, of which deceased was a mem ber, Rev. W. H. Scott officiating. The services at the grave will be in charge of the Woodmen of the World. Dr. Newton was a member of both the Woodmen of the World and Iowa Le gion of Honor. Deceased carried $8,000 of life Insur ance, but there is some question re garding the collection of $3,000 of this amount. ltov. O. Holmes. Rev. O. Holmes, a resident of t'his city for the past ten years, died Saturday night fat 9:20 o'clock at the home of his son, George B. Holmes, in Cedar Rap ids, whither he had gone on a visit three weeks ago. Rev. Holmes was 76 years of age and had not been robust for some time. Kidney and heart trou bles were the direct cause of his death. llev. Holmes was bom in Marcellus, N. Y„ In 1823. Graduated from the Wesleyan University at Middleton, Conn., and took up the ministry. For thirty-four years he was actively en gaged in religious work under the northern Methodist conference of New York. He was married at Rome, N. Y„ in the year 1855 to Mary Ann Scott, who survives him. He moved west to Mar shalltown ten years ago. He is also sur vived by two children, George B. Holmes, of Cedar Rapids, and Mrs. James Hall, of No. 405 West Main street. The body will arrive from Cedar Rap ids at 8:20 o'clock Tuesday morning and the funeral services will be held at the M. E. church at 10 o'tlock. The body will lie in state at the church between the hours of 9 and 10 a. m. and the church will be open to friends. Rev. J. T. Crlppen, D. D., of Mt. Vernon, an old time friend of Rev. Holmes, will make the funeral address. Bracewell. The mother of a large family knows that every child has its own place and when death comes and takes one all the others can not fill the empty place. But there Is a desolation which is felt when an only child dies that is not known in the larger family. So It is that the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Bracewell is so afflicted by the death of their one child, Violet. The little girl, who was 10 years old last March, had been ill for five weeks with typhoid fe ver and its complications. Never ro bust. she grew steadily weaker, until she died at 1:30 o'clock Sunday after noon. Her illness was almost without pain and her mind was clear up to the last. Of a naturally sunny disposition, she was cheerful all during her illness and made many plans for a happy Thanksgiving, when she should be well again. But her friends feel that for the past few days she had known she was not to grow better, but was bright and happy lest she make them sorrow. She was an exceedingly bright little girl, in the fifth grade of the public schools and she was also a member of the M. E. Sunday school. Rev. Van Ness will conduct the funeral at the church Tuesday afternoon at 3 o'clock. Cole. Rev. David P. Cole aged 86, the twentieth member to be admitted to the Soldiers' Home, and until his death the fifth oldest member of the institu tion in point of membership, died Sat urday evening at 5:30 o'clock In the hospital, of oid age, resulting from a generally debilitated condition. Mr. Cole came to the Home Dec. 6, 1887, the winter the institution was opened, from Washington. He was a member of Company G, Thirty-seventh Iowa volunteer Infantry, having en listed November 8, 1862, at Washington, and served three years, being discharged at Davenport May 24, 1865. The deceased was at one time, and for many years, a Methodist min ister, holding a pastorate at Washing ton and In various other points In the southwestern part of the state. The remains were sent this morning to Washington, where a son and daughter reside, and where the funeral and in terment will occur. "'*^TOit^Tiii«^^R»|pjMfe^HlBribaTIttmm, Inuia, TOimdag, Hfmietnirer £,1899, ^s®:«i? Marshall County Murder Suspects Sentenced at Nevada For the Story County Crime. Get Five and Ten Years For Shoot ing Conductor Hicks, of the Northwestern. No Attempt to Be Made to Indict Ihem in This County For the Present. Charles Yancy and "Sloppy" Smith, the two men who have been under ar rest at Nevada for the shooting of Conductor Hicks, of the Northwestern, and suspected of being two of the par ties who shot and killed lirakemen Matthews and Wilson, of the Great Western, near this city, have been con victed in the Story county court of as sault with intent to murder. Judge Birdsall passed sentence on the men Saturday afternoon, and has deter mined that Smith shall serve a term of ten years and Yancy one of five years. Smith is the one who shot Hicks. A dispatch from Nevada in reference to the case there and the shooting of the brakemen says: "Yancy is an old-timer, huving but recently been discharged from the Ne braska state penitentiary, where he has been serving a sentence of four years for robbery. Smith, rhe younger man of the two, has often been in the criminal courts of Ornaha and has been connected with a great many petty crimes there, but on account of his youth has been able heretofore to keep out of the penitentiary. "The case in Story county has been of added interest on account of the at tempt to connect these parties with the murder of the Great Western brake men, Wilson and Matthews, near Mar shalltown. The evidence of their con nection with this affair has been worked up pretty conclusively. The Marshalltown and Great Western au thorities have investigated the murder very thoroughly and have much evi deuce against these men. It is also stated that there is a man in the New ton, Iowa, jail who has made a con fession to the sheriff of that county in which he stated that his brother, to gether with Yancy and .Smith, com mitted the crime, and that he was with the trio up to within a few days of the time of the commission of the murder. He is also reported to have given to the Newton sheriff some pointers which .will enable him to locate the third mur derer. This matter will be worked up and an effort to indict them will be made by the next grand jury of Mai shall county. This evidence will be re tained as far as possible and will be brought against them after they have served the sentence prononnced today." The portion of the dispatch in refer ence to the attempt to indict the men here is somewhat premature. County Attorney Stone was informed by a T.-R. reporter that the men had beer, sentenced, and was asked in regard to his probable action. He said that while he was convinced in his own mind that Yancy and Smith had something to do with the Marshalltown crime, he did not believe that the evidence now in hand was strong enough to secure an Indictment, although some of the state ments made by Yancy's brother while in jail at Newton were damaging. Mr. Stone said that no attempt would be made to have the men indicted at the coming sitting of the grand jury, which convenes on Wednesday. The case wi!i not be dropped, however, and further evidence for future action will. be Se cured. "'V-V: TELEPHONE WORKMEN STOPPED.

Linemen on the Cedar Valley Tele phone Company's new line from Water loo to Marshalltown, who were at work at Green Mountain Sunday, were stopped temporarily Sunday while working at the Homer Thomas resi dence. Rev. O. H. L. Mason and some of the good people of the town luvaded the movement to have the men quit. The foreman in charge, when demanded by the citizens to comply with the law. replied that neither he nor his men were working as a matter of choice, but that he had received orders to push the work to a speedy completion and were there fore in the discharge of their duty. He told the Green Mountain gentlemen very respectfully that if work must be stopped they would have to resort to force, and do it as prescribed by law, as that would relieve him from any re sponsibility and then the difficulty could be settled by the company direct.

County Solicitor Sees Many People Who 'ialk Farm and Politics. Some Will Scratch But Shoemaker Will Have 700 to Spare in County. castle. Logan and Washington town ships seems to be greatly guess work, both Candida tes for sheriff having a considerable number of fairly devoted followers. McPherson people are claiming Logan, Washington and Jef ferson. with an even break in Green castle. Shoemaker people are doing the same thing, and then some, and both parties believe what they say, which goes to show that the vote will be reasonably close. LeGrand village and township are solid for the repub lican candidate. Oilman village is said to be strong for McPherson, who will also poll heavily among the German farmers about Haverhill and in Logan. .Some republicans will vote for Mc­ Pherson, not favoring a change, and some democrats will vote for Shoe maker because the present incumbent lppointed republican deputies. And :here you are. The writer is inclined to think from his personal observation that while considerable scratching will be done the major part of the republic voters will use the circle also that the changes of the past two weeks nave lji-en favorable to Shoemaker. The general impression among the voters is hat the result will depend greatly upon the poll in Marshalltown and that Shoemaker will come from the country to the corporation lines at least 700 to the good, which would seem to settle it.::*5vC, .,\V. A very strong advocate of shallow culture for corn is William Gallentine, a successful farmer living near Van cleve. Mr. Gallentine furnishes a strong argument favoring his practice in his cornfield, which is yielding sev enty-five bushels of perfectly ripened corn to the acre. His corn is the best I have seen and I was unable to find a mouldy ear. H•' uses no corn plow ex cepting one with an arrangement of knives whieh simply scrape the sur face. His corn matures a week or ten days earlier than that cultivated by the common process. He cites in support of his theory the fart that a ivnted field on his farm, equal or better in quality of soil to his fwld quoted above at seventy-five bushels, though tended by an excellent farmer by the old method, yielded but sixty-three bushels. As the fields lie side by side this would seem somewhat ('.inclusive evidence in favor of the shallow cul ture. Mrs. David Paul and daughter. Mrs. W.

Council Bluffs, Nov. 6.—The first two sections of the Fifty-first Iowa regi ment arrived here at S a. m. The third section did not arrive until late this af ternoon and was tendered a separate reception. The delay was owing to the fact that a train carrying a contingent from the Forty-second United States volunteer infantry en route to the Philippines was derailed near Echo canon, near the Wyoming line, in Utah. The wreck was encountered Saturday, compelling them to return to Ogden, Utah, in order to take another route to Denver. All day Sunday and all Sunday night the crowds kept pouring into the city. The hotels were unable to accommodate all the guests and private homes were opened to many. It is estimated that 40,000 people are in the city today. Governor Shaw arrived here last night with the members of his staff and is quartered at the Grand hotel. The members of the staff are: Brig. Gen. James liush Lincoln, Ames Brig. Gen. James Taggart Priestley, Des Moines Col. Thomas F. Cook. Aigona Col. H. H. V. Canfield, Boone Maj. William Sutter "Wyman, Ottumwa aides-de camp, J. K. P. Thompson, Rock Rap ids Edward G.

Putnam, Cedar Rapids Sears McHenry, Deni son. and A. B. Shaw, Des Moines. The evecutive committee decided not to allow the delay of section 3 to in terfere with the reception ceremonies and they were given a separate wel come on their arrival !ate this after noon. On arrival of the first two sec tions the regular program was carried out. After the first greeting, the regi ment formed in parade and marched to Bayliss park, where the exercises took place. Congressman W. P. Hepburn delivered t'he address of the day and was followed by Governor L. M. Shaw, who delivered the address of welcome. He said: "Officers and Men of the Fifty-first Iowa Infantry Volunteers Eighteen months ago your departure from the state that was even then proud of you was witnessed with universal anxiety and solicitude. Today your returning footsteps make glad Iowa's every loyal heart. Your journeyings have been most carefully watched and the record of your noble conduct, both in camp and on the firing line has made the state you left behind yet prouder to caii ou hers. "It is due to have it said on this occa jsion that no report concerning you has brought either shame to the homes from which you went, or a blush to those who have followed you with their good wishes and t'helr prayers. The I", "'""i (press dispatches have all been of the (JutsiOe turners keep coming to most favorable character and have Marshalltown to stay a few davs!borne convlnt'ins f,roof that thc" on* I regiment whose heroic mission was far and among Other things to take towards the setting sun, like the three ered at th PrfjSkUo t0 say euoa-by for these Iowans -made many friends b\ their gentlemanly conduct while in guaranteed, ana thus save paying camp here. Drunkenness and riotous I conduct are strangers to these sturdy Hawkeye veterans.' Such a report shall be sacred to the state, and the truthfulness thereof will be of great wortli to you. "But it must not be forgotten that, of the number who, in the spring time of 18t»8, went from Camp McKinley with proud step, firm heart and lofty mien, some have gone to their reward and there is left to us by the scant privi lege of a tear in their remembrance and a word of sympathy for the be reaved hearts and sad homes made so by their absence. The righteousness of the end towards which they strove, the justice of the cause for which they died and t'he response to duty ever im perative, constitute the oniy justifica tion for the sad sacrifice. "Proud as we are today of what has been so recently accomplished by American valor, when future years Shall have added thereto their settings, and the hopes of improved conditions for the oppressed, both on the east and on the west of us, shall have reached fruition, the remembrance of that brother, father or ancestor who took part in the events through which you have passed with such signal honor will be a priceless legacy to your de scendants. The cause of liberty has not suffered at your hands human rights have not been transgressed hu man hopes have not been blighted, but t'he world is somewhat nearer the day of universal peace, universal right eousness and universal self government because of what has been achieved by the army and navy of which you, citi zen soldiers of Iowa, have formed an integral part. "A little over a third of a century ago there returned to this state from a war that also reflected much honor upon the nation—a much larger but no braver body of men. These heroes of the old war, by common consent, have been accorded peculiar privileges. It has been theirs to say whatever they pleased concerning the conflict in which they were engaged and to freely ex press their opinions as to the right eousness or the unrighteousness of the cause for which they tendered Che sac rifice of their lives. Theirs also it has been to teach their children anything concerning the part their fathers bore in the great struggle for the preserva tion of the union which Bhey considered essential to good citizenship. The same privileges will be yours, and with you as with your fathers, what you teach in your neighborhoods, in your homes and at your campflres will 'be the verdict of coming years. "I welcome you, "brave b'oys, back to home, to work shop, to office, to field and to factory, and may God bless you as you again take up the duties of civil life which you were so prompt to lay down at the call of your government. May you throughout the struggle of life, as in the far oft camp, continue to make friends, and may all things un manly and all things mean remain strangers to our 'sturdy Hawkeye vet erans.' Five-minute addresses were delivered by Congressman J. A. T. Hull, Con gressman Smith McPherson, Hon. Fred 13. White and Hon. Lafe Young. Bene diction was by Rev. George Edward Walk, rector of St. Paul's Episcopal church. Banquets at the Eiseman building and the Masonic Temple were given at noon. The members of the Fifty-first Iowa give great credit for the small percent age of loss which their regiment sus tained during its long campaign to the drill they received under Brig. Gen. J. Rush Lincoln at Camp McKinley. "Gen. Lincoln frequently impressed upon us the necessity of taking care of ourselves when under fire," said an of ficer who has long been connected with the Iowa National Guard. "He told lis that it was not at all times a mark of bravery to unnecessarily expose our selves to the fire of the enemy. He drilled us in firing while lying down and also gave us much good advice about keeping cool while in battle. "These things were remembered by the boys, and while regiments near us lost heavily at times we were fortunate in that respect. Yet in nearly every battle in which we were engaged we were in the fiercest of the fighting." At lirst sight the members of the Fif ty-first Iowa will scarcely be recog nized as the same boys who left Camp McKinley on June 5, 1898. They are boys no long- r, but bronzed and beard ed men, and while sea air and the in spiration (f rearing home have done much *.o Yards re! urnlng '.he gio of health, hom? still show the effects uf the fevers contracted in the swamps and trenches about San Tomas am'. Caiumpit. Tho^r sufferings, however, are in the past, and the soldiers do not care to sp»ak of litem. They discuss with un affected modesty the battles in which they were engage'.. "We come heme a united body with out any desert,en:," said Col. Lopei, "and we come back strong and true in our .ith as Ami nciiis. We are loyal to the count: and we believe that whatever m: be the final disposition of the Philiui ::ie from vour state who, with.!* continuing his opposition to th, followed the same .lag in iustion the authority of the United SUtes must be main tained and the irsurreetion put down.' This somes to represent the feeling among the nn n. It is told in evidence of this -hat when, at San Fi^neis".o, a vote was ta"en ii: Company T. of Shen andoah, with torty-six men in line, and Company cf Red Oak, with seventy six men. every man voted that the ad ministration should le upheld ail'., th1' Philippines retained. In some of the other companies there may be snnv doubt as to the retention of the islan ls, but a large majority of the men are en thusiastic in their support of the eiToit to put down (ho insurrection. The opinion is freely expressed by both officers and men that with troops enough at hand the points captured from the Insurgents there will be little difficulty in pushing tlie contest to an earlv termination. The actions of the anti-imperialists in this country are severely criticised by many of the men, who say tiiat if the efforts made by certain persons in the United States to embarrass the ad ministration had been. direetec towards assisting thc government tie war would be. much nearer its close than it is now. The soldiers declare that Aguinaldo is kept posted concerning the work of the anti-Imperialists and say that he United States largely because of belief other directions, had not forgotten that the anti-impenallisis constitute:, either their manhood or their seif re« majority 'of t^'e people ot tie t.u spoct.

FIRE AT GRINIvELL. l-'air Ground Stables Humed and Several Ilorwest Cremated. Special to Times-Republican. Grinneli, Xur. C.—Saturday at 4 o'clock a black column of smoke was seen south of town and it soon became known that the fair grounds was the scene of the fire. But by the time peo ple arrived it was too late to save any thing. The large horse barn, a large stable of swine with a double row of pens, and the cuttle sheds reaching from the Iowa Central railroad to the east gate of the grounds were de stroyed, together with six horses, which were kept in the barn and which Waulle was training for speed. The horses were owned by Peter Rice P. Cline lost two, Kc-e.se one, Waufle one and there was one other. Waulle and Keese were away from the barn and on the track. When they discovered the fire they went to work to extinguish the burning grass near the east end of the barn, but soon found the west end. some 125 feet away, was in flames and a brisk wind blowing from that direc tion. They turned in to save the horses and succeeded in releasing two or three, when they were forced to get out to save themselves. Ed Card's bay mare was gotten out with her blanket in flames and the mare was severely burnt about the shoulders and head, and is now blind and probably will al ways be blind. Mr. Waufle made his home in the barn and lost everything he possessed, besides which some fifty or seventy-five bushels of oats. The fire is said to have originated from sparks from a passing locomotive which Ignited the dry grass and from that to the barn was but a few yards. Moreover, the wind was in the direc tion that blew toward the buildings. Friday evening next ex-Governor Altgeld will lecture ta this city. His lecture is one of the Y. M. C. A. course.

At the same time there was no liberality in support.
