AN OLD PITTsBURGER.
Attorney Loughbridge Says Iowa Is Going
Republican.

Attorney Loushbridge Says Iowa Is Going
Republican.
j. M. Loughbridge, Republican lawyer
of Oskaloosa, Ia, registered at the St.
James last evening. Mr.. Loughbridge for
merly lived here, and taught in the same
schoolhouse on the Southside with Andrew
Burt, the grammarian. He went West 40
years ago, and visited the city in 1877. He
is q cousin of Mrs. John Chalfant. Mr..
Loughbridge says the city has grown won-
derfully, and it makes him feel sad in in
quiring about old friends to learn that they
died years since.
Speaking of politics, he said: 'Towa is
going Republican this fall. Its majority
used to be as high as 10000, but prohibition
gave Boies chance to be elected Governor
by catering to the whisky element. Scott
county, in which Davenport is located, was
Republican by 1000 before the temperance
issue was passed, but now it is as many
votes Democratic. The Republicans have
wisely dropped the prohibition plank from
their platform, and the Germans are coming
back to the party. I look for great Re-
publican victory in Iowa"

COLORADO FOR WEAVER.
Business at Standstill on Account of the
Low Price of Silver

Business at Standstil1 on Account of the
Low Price of Silver.
]. B. Dunn, assistant business manager of
the Boston Traueler, put up at the Anderson
yesterday. His paper is interested in
several silver mines in Colorado, and he
had been out there looking after them. Mr..
Dunn is Republican, but he does not
bring much encouragement from the West
"In the silver country" he said, "busi-
ness is at standstill. It doesn't pay to
mine silver at 80 cents per ounce, and many
of the large mines are closed. The people
are in a fretful state, and from what can
learn three-fourths of the votes in Colo
RADIO and one-halfin Nevada and Utah, will
go to Weaver. If the price of silver could
be advanced to 81 Is or 81 20 cents per
ounce, the mines could be started, and this
would create a market for the farm pro-
ducts"

Mayor Kennedy Doesn't Like Ex-Counci1-
man Hartman's Scheme.
Mayor Kennedy does not in any way
favor ex-CouDcilman Hartman's filtration
scheme, and gives reasons why the plan
should not be carried out. He says it is by
no means original, and has already been
discussed to a considerable extent There
is no use, His Honor says, in filtering sewer
water, and besides it would cost much more
to perfect the system than was estimated by
Mr.. Hartman. What the city was after was
to get a better and cheaper system that it
had at present.
The expenditure of $3.50, 900 on water i'm
provements will got before the people for
their votes on October s. The appropria-
tion having been decided on already is
bound to take effect, and if it cannot be
raised in any other way the mill age will be
increased, and the money collected by
direct taxation.
