DEs MONIES, Ia, July 21.--fSpccial to The
Bee From present indications there is go
ing to be pretty warm campaign in some OF
the congress ional districts OF Iowa, and some
of the republican candidates need not be
surprised if they get left. Probably the
closest contest and the warncst fight will
take place in the big Eighth district.
The convention at CrcstOn the other day
started the ball rolling by the nomination of
Major Anderson of Fremont county, who
served one term in congress by defeating
Congressman Hepburn ON the railroad fight
As was stated in the dispatch at the time,
the Creston convention was held under the
auspices OF the farmers alliance, and they
really had another candidate i'm mind. But
the politicians got the upper hand and sue
ceeded in putting up Major Andcr-
son. Some Of the democrats of the
district have already endorsed An
derS0n, notably Adams county, and il is more
than likely he will be endorsed by the demo-
cratic convention. Lucas county democrats
nave, however, instructed for Hon. =. l..
Bestow, who was defeated f0rlieutenmt gov
ernor last fall. The republicans will rcnOm-
mate Congressman Flick.
In the Seventh district there is q detection
In the republican ranks over the nomination
of Captain Hull. The detection as vet is not
very formidable, being confined principally to
Colonel H. j. Budd of Knoxville who has for
parry and thinks he should be rewarded in
some other manner than by filthy lucre. He
says he will be IA candidate before the demo-
cratic convention, and if not endorsed, will
come out independent. 1t is possible his am
bition to be n candidate will be satisfied, es-
peclaly as tho democrats have about three
thousand majority to overcome and have
hardly the ghost of a show for success.
General Weaveris talked of as a candidate
for congress in both the Sixth and Seventh
ig N h.ar hn a pnD
didate in either The democrats of PoweShielS
county, In the Sixth district held a conven-
ton yesterday and resolved in favorof Sena-
tor Stewart for congress. The republicans
will nominate Major Lacy, and his chances of
election are exceedingly good.
The democrats of Benton county in the
Fifth district have Instructed in favor of Mr..
Gaash, and 1T Is likely he will be the nominee
OF the district, The republicans have gem
orally settled down upon eX-Speaker Struble
of Toledo, brother of the resentcongressman
from the Eleventh district, and he will make
strong candidate.

PERPETUAL MOTION WATCH
A company is being organized in this city
to be known as the Perpetual watch move
ment company, and will include some of the
most prominent citizens. The authorized
capital stock will be Sl,00000O and the fac
tory will employ large number of persons
in turning out one of the most wonderful in
ventions known to modern mechanics, viz,
watch which will run perpetually without
winding, or rather which winds itself by the
motion impaired to the machinery by the
man who carries 1t, without either key or
stem-winding attachment. 1t is the inven-
ton of Herman Won Der Heydt of Chicago,
and was patented in 1885. Only twenty-six
of these watches are in existence, one of
them being owned in this city. Won Der
Heydts movement is wound for twenty -four
hours by fifteen minutes active motion on the
part of the man who carries it. 1t has a con-
trivance to automatically prevent over-wind-
ing, and an attachment for winding in the
regular way when the owner is sick or not
using it. 1t is simple and compact in con-
struction, and is said to keep better time and
last longer than an ordinary watch, and it
can be produced for substantially the same
expense.
