sMoULDEKING EARTHQUAKES.


Democratic Hosts Calling One Another
Bad Names Behind tho Back.
There is a lot of bad feeling among the
democratic hosts if the stories that leak out
through open windows and transoms are to
be believed.
The cause of the trouble dates back to the
time when the announcement was made that
A. w. Hickman would be the next post
master, having purchased an interest in the
official organ of the local democracy and
with it the endorsement of Hon. Thomas
Bowman. who was understood to exert some
influence with the administration. 1t came
to the SUI face again last Saturday night
when the democrats held their primar-
les, and ever since then a number
of the leading lights have been spluttering
in way that suggests the possibility of u
great tlareup in the county convention to-
morrow unless some steps are taken to com
promise the difficulty before the delegates
go into convention.
One cause of the difficulty that now con-
fronts the party is the candidacy of j. j.
| Shea for chairman of the county central
| committee He filled this office last year
| and. it is said, would like it again next year
This has aroused the old animosity that has
| existed for several years between the two
| factions of the party. The Globe men," as
| they are called, are backing Shea and de-
clare that they will have no one but him
| to manage the campaign in Pottawattamie
| county. The ."antiGlobe men," who,
| by the way, represent large and
| constantly growing faction, claim that Shea
| did not manage the campaign right last year,
| and that is why there are 50 many repub-
lcans doing business now at the county
court house. This difference of opinion has
| given rise to n state of affairs in the party
that can only be described by reference to
| hadcS
1t is stated, however and indications bear
| out the report, that the trouble is not SO
much the outgrowth of any personal hostll-
| ity toward Shea as of desire to cut loose
from the Globe side of the house 1t a
bitter pill the other fellows hai TO swallo y
when they were told that Hickman would
| be postmaster, for he had been republican
up to within few minutes of the time when
| his candidacy was announced
IF we're going to have a republican fol
| pos stmaster, I'd just as soon have Treynor'
howled one man whose desperation at see
| ing a democrat of so short standing step VI
to the oat bin and show signs of knocking
| out wheel horses who had done nothing but
Whitney for Cleveland for so many years
They feel chat the only thing for them to dc
is to wax it to- their opponents in way
that will forever put down what they are
pleased to call ring rule. l.. Zurmuehlen
jr., is the opposing candidate for chairman
of the central committee, and some tai
working is being done on both sides.

Two Horse Thieves in Jail at Dow City

CLEVER CAPTURE OF A DANGEROUS MAN
Eilors Answers the Description OF a Colo
RADIO Desperate for Whose nppre-
hension a Largo Reward Is Of
fersd-How He Was Taken.

Paul Bouquet and NJ. Il. Weatherbee were
considerably elated yesterday over the re-
ceipt of the news that their horses, which
were stolen last Sunday, mad been found,
and that the men were in jail at Dow City
waiting for an officer to come after them.
Bouquets riding horse was found in Modale,
but his rider had managed to get as far as
Dow City before being captured, Weather
bees team and buggy, with the man who
stole them, all turned up at Dow City, being
recognized by Mr. Scott, II son-in-law of Mr..
Weatherbee. An officer will probably go to
Dow City today with the two liverymen to
bring back the stolen property and the
thieves.
There seems to be a chance of proving a
more serious charge against James Eilers,
the young man who stole Bouquets horse.
July 2S last a convict finished his term in
the penitentiary at Canon City, Colo, and
was released. He tried to beat his way out
of the state on q stock train, but was dis
covered and the brakeman tried to put him
off. He refused to,gct off, and in the scuthe
shot the trainman. He then made his es.
cape, but was afterwards run down BY the
county sheriff Just as the sheriff was
about 20 put him under arrest the eX-convlct
tlrned on him and shot him also. Nothing
more was seen of him. Cards were sent
out all over the country giving his
description and photograph, and offer
ing a reward of S2I00 for his
apprehension Eilers answers the description
of the murderous convict precisely, and
while it is, of course, not certain that he is
the party wanted, the authorities at Canon
City will be given notice of his capture and
chance to claim him if he is their property.

The financial situation at the stock yards
yesterday morning was but very little diff
ferent from what it was the day before.
The pass word was cash, and nothing but
cash went.
The Cudahy Packing company sent out
circular letter Monday to all the COM
mission men which read as follows:
70 Whom 1t May Concern-In payment OF
all purchases of live stock, hereafter, or until
a change occurs in the conditions now ruling,
we reserve the right to offer New York or Chi
cago exchange. Your preference for either
will be considered as far as possible, but as the
bulk Of accouns are now As In the past, set
little Chicago will be offered Payments will
be made to you direct in the net amount due
your shipper II you prefer, or we settle our
tickets with the bank in the usual way with
New York or Chicago, AS stated. Respectfully,
The CUDAHY PACKING co.
The company explained that inasmuCh as
they We're compelled to accept payment for
their products in Chicago and New York
exchange it would be no more than fair to
pay for the stuff with the same sort of paper
AS a result when their buyers came on the
market this morning none of the sellers Of
| fered them any stock. This fact was re-
| ported back to headquarters and in a short
time word came to buy the old way-for
| cash.
The commission men were good natured,
! but firm on the proposition. They claim that
| there is not enough margin in the sales for
| them to take any chances or to even
wait for their pay, Cash was the stuff that
talked and cash will be paid by every one
from now on. After these letters had been
received meeting of the Live Stock ex-
change was held and the mat
ter was brought up, but no action
| whatever was taken. The members felt
that it was an individual affair. If any of
the sellers wanted to accept Chicago and
| New York exchange all well and good; that
| it was not a matter to be settled by the eX-
change in any sense of the word.

Mr. Jacobsen thought that there was
something decidedly wrong somewhere in

desired that City Electrician Cowgirl be

Mr. Hascall was on his feet in an instant.
He thought that the council was capable of
conducting its own, business, and did not
favor permitting any city Official going
behind written report. Mr.. 1ascall said
the mayor was prompted in his action by u
lot of cheap newspaper correspondents, who
were grooming the mayor for something
that he could not be. He then grew face
tious and wanted the photometer exchanged
for an incubator and the council go into the
business of raising municipal chickens tie

Mr. Munro stood by the mayor. He said
that the city had contract for 1000
candle power light and not nominal, as the
| company claims, and that the word nom
inaln is the milk in the Cocoanut. Mr..
| Munro said he had been Informed by officials
| of the company that they were not furnish
| ing 1000 candle power lights and were
| furnishing only 1000 nominal candle power,
! He urged that the veto be sustained and
