A Chance for Iowa.

DUBUQUE, Iowa, November THE
following is from Democratic sources:
1.-THE campaign closed tonight with
both parties confident OF success. Ad-
vices from various points indicate that
the claims Of Democrats have q more
substantial foundation than those OF
their opponents.
"They give figures obtained by poll
OF the State showing sufficient gains to
give the State TO Cleveland by at least
5000. The Republican managers while
claiming the State give no definite
figures and refuse to give information
as to why they are confident.
Senator Allison figures out 10, 900 for
the Republicans. A week ago he was
claiming 10000. The extraordinary in
crease in the registration In cities is
strongly in favor of the Democrats and
the activity OF the Prohibitlonists for
their ticket will take hundreds OF votes
from the Republicans.
son the other hand, Weaver will draw
largely from the Democrats, though the
Farmers Alliance vote he will get is
nearly all Republican"

Burning, but not consumed, like bush
Near which the ancient prophet stood.

The yellow corn amid the leaves
Shines forth like gems of brightest CLEAN

Like torches mid the foliage deep,
The sumach rears its crimson cone,
Content in wondrous charms to shine

CRAZY KING OTTO DOOMED.

The Bayarian Monarch Growing Worse,
Though He Might Have Been Cured.
SPECIAL TO the Indianapolis Journal
LONDON, Dec. 11.-DIspatches from Mu-
Mich say that crazy King Otto of Bavaria is
growing rapidly worse. He is, by turns,
sullen and violent. has lost his sp-
tlte and is troubled with insomnia,
DR.. Mueller. his physician in ordinary, ex-
pressed the opinion. although not for pub
location in Germany. that if properly
treated the King would still be durable. At
the time the King was under his care the
Doctor says, his state Of mind was
such that keen watchfulness and careful
treatment would have restored gradually
his reason. DR.. Mueller was appointed
physician in ordinary to the present
KING after Ludwig's death in Starn-
burg lake, in 1855. As such he
had ample opportunity to study King
Otto's illness, and he came to the conclu-
sion that change OF air and change of
scenery would be higbly beneficial to the
Kings mind. In fact. be submitted
it as his opinion to the Ministry
of the royal house that the
proposed change of sir and scenery might
permanently restore the Kings mind. DR..
Mueller reported also to the Cabinet
that King Otto expressed the wish to
90 TO Munich, where be has nos been
for twelve years. As soon as DIR. Mueller's
Off cial report came up for consideration a
privy council was held and DR.. Mueller
was removed to another station.

A GRUEsoME QUEST.


French Doctors and Reporters Conduct rt
the Reinach Autopsy.
LONDON, Dec. 1.-THE Times Paris cor
resrondenS says: The Reinach scandal Is
worthy of the middle ages. The Parliament.
the magistracy and the press are all crying
for the corpse. Only the brush of Callot
or q Holbein conld do justice to
the scenes presented at the cemetery.
When the autopsy was performed there
was an unseembly scramble between the
doctors and the reporters to reach the
grave. The doctors were ~victori-
Gus. They whitened the windows of
tho room in which the autopsy
was performed SO that nothing was visible
from the outside. The Paris correspondent
of the News says that when the autopsy
was performed all newspaper repre-
sentatives were excluded from the
cemetery, but were allowed to watch
from q barn loft overlooking the grave. 1t
will be impossible for three weeks to say
whether or not Baron De Reinach died
of aconite poisoning. The suspicion that
he did die of aconite poisoning is
due to the fact that q partly
empty phIal of aconite was found hear AIS
bed. 1t is alleged that on finding it impos-
slble to avert the Panama canal scandal. the
Baron had q scene with relatives in whose
