ment the sad event as one OF deep

LAWYER of ability and integrity,
whose lofty conception of the OBJ.
legations and duties of the legal
profession. in the discharge of
which he was in the highest de-
gree pains taking and consclen-
tious, furnished an example worthy
Of imitation, a valuable citizen
ever true to the claims of family,
friends and neighbors, companion
who won and retained our sincere
regard by his wisdom, courtesy
and genial disposition.
We remember with pride his
able and successful administration
Of the Office of District Attorney
during his two consecutive terms
therein. We remember with graf
itude our many happy social reun
ions under his hospitable roof. We
remember with pleasure the charm
of his gifted mind and tongue
when we met to beguile the hour
of relaxation with "a feast of rea
son and a flow Of soul, " We re
member with affection the kindl
feeling and fraternal regard b
constantly manifested toward eac
and all of US. Cherlshing tn
memories of his many estlmabl
qualities of mind and heart, tn
value of his example, the constar
cy of his friendship and the pleas
ures of his companlonship, W
grieve to reflect that our believe
and honored brother has gon
from us to return no more.
"Resolved, That these resolr
tions be presented to the circu
and chancery courts with the re
quest that they be spread upon tn
minutes Of said courts; that a cop

Big Grain Prospects.

CHICAGO, Aug. THE following

large quantities OF spring wheat
have excellent prospects for a large
crop of that cereal. Iowa counties
mostly have excellent conditions
and some will have larger yields

consin will be fair. Minnesota
prospects are still for an immense
crop. In the Dakotas, the outlook
is for large crop. The corn crop
will be immense. In Illinois, In
diana, Ohio and Michigan, the
general prospects are immense. In
Missouri conditions are favorable
Kansas will have a big crop. In
Nebraska there has been some in

yield. Wisconsin will have a full
crop and Minnesota and the Dako-

Defender Does 1t Again.

NEWPORT, r. l., Aug. eff any
additional test had been needed to
show that the fine keel yacht De-
fender is a better all around boat
in light weather than the center
board Vigilant, it was furnished
yesterday when these yachts raced
over a 2l-mile triangular course
outside OF the port here for a $500
cup. The course was one which
gave the contestants every show to
see what they could do. They
started on a beat to windward and
finally a run home before the wind,
seven miles. In the first two legs
the Defender easily showed her
superiority. When the Defender
and Vigilant were waiting for po-
sition, the big boats came pretty
close together. Both were on the
star board track so there was no
question as to who had the right
of way. In this case the Defender
was the overhauler, but the Vigil
liant, as she did off Sandy Hook,
eased off and avoided what might
possibly have been collision. The
time OF rounding the first mark
was Defender l2:S:ll; Vigilant

Iowa,s Democratic State Convention

MARsHALLTowN, Ia, Aug. T.
The Democratic state convention
will be held here today. The can
didates for state officer are not nu-
merous as the real contest will I'M
doubtedly be over the financial
plank. The sound money men Of
the party are striving to have the
convention move off without fric-
ton, but il the silverites are bent
on fight, as their leader claim to
be, then the other side is ready for
them and not at all discouraged at
the outlook.
The nomination for governor,
will, of course, depend to a great
extent upon 1.-THE temper of tn Q
convention on the financial ques-
ton. An overwhelming free silver
majority would imply the nomina-
ton of Fred White, OF Keokuk
county, or some other advocate Of
the white metal. A close conven-
ton, or sound money convention
will mean the nomination Of man
Of not too extreme views in either
direction. Among all the candi-
dates there is not one who has
openly expressed his desire to rum

NEWPORT, R. l., Aug. last
evening, while everyone was dis
cussing the merits Of the Defender
and specializing on how much
greater improvement the new
yacht would show, when she
should again meet the Vigilant,
Mr.. Willard, who is George Gould's
representative manager Of the Wig
liant, gave out a letter, which at
once shattered the we'll laid plans
of the yachtsmen and others inter-
ested. Mr.. Wizards letter is:
ITO Executive Committee, New York
Yacht Club:
"Dear Sirs: 1 hereby withdraw
the Vigilant from the race on
Thursday and Saturday. In doing
so, 1 desire to add a few words of
explanation. AS you are aware,
Mr.. Gould, and l, as his representa-
tive, fitted out and prepared the
Vigilant for racing, for no purpose
in the world except to assist in de-
veloping the fast American yacht,
and thus aid in the defense OF
Americas cup. To this end Mr..
Gould has cheerfully gone to great
expense, and l have taken much
pains and spent much time. / can
not, however, consent to continue
racing the Vigilant, unless the con-
tests are to be conducted accord
ing to the rules of yachting. l have
twice given away to the Defender
at the start of race, when the
Vigilant clearly had the right of
way, because l was unwilling to
risk collision which might leave
America without cup defender.
However willing l may have been
to waive my rights in the past, l
am not willing to go on waving
indefinitely. AS you know, l have
already posted the Defenders &C
ton at the start, on July %. In
yesterdays race the Defender again
violated the rules, and forced the
Vigilant out Of position to which
she was entitled. In these cases
there would have been a collision
If the Vigilant had not given way.
In each case the responsibility Of
avoiding an accident was cast up
on me. 1t would not be fair to
either the yacht or her owner to
continue racing under these condi-
tions. E. WILLARD"
Mr.. Islen was taken aback at the
news that the Vigilant had decided
to withdraw. Mr.. Kane, chairman
of the regatta committee, refused
to speak on the subject. 1t ia
known, however, that as soon as
the committee received Mr.. VIII
lard's letter, all hands went out to
see Mr.. Willard and had long
talk with him. The result is not Of
ficially known, and will probably
not be known until the clouds of
war settle, but the appearance of
Mr.. Willard, after it took place,
was one that indicated a tirmness
of intention that could not be mis-
taken. The action of the Vigilant's
people bids fair to annul' the &C.
ton of the meeting of the Ameri-
cas- cup committee, when it was
decided to hold the formal trial
races off Sandy Hook, on August
20 and %, and further races IL they
should be seen to be necessary.

CHICAGO, Aug. 7.-One of the
strongest public points in the evil
dence accommodating against
Holmes, as the murderer of the
Williams girls, came to light yes
terday. Mrs. B. F. Pietzel said
Holmes had given her number
Of dresses, two or three pairs Of
shoes and one or two hats, which
had belonged to Minnie Williams.
Mrs. Pietzel said while she was In
total ignorance of the fate of the
girl at the time Holmes gave her
the clothing, she now firmly be-
lieves he either gave her the arti-
cles in hope Of diverting suspicion
from himself in case they were
ever found, or to save himself
further trouble in hiding or burn
ing up the effects of the dead girl.
Cora Quinlan, daughter of Pat
Quinlan, janitor at the Holmes
castle, was seen on farm near
Lskota, Mich. The girl has told
what she knows about Holmes and
his affairs. She says she has seen
Pearl and Mrs. Conner, and her
father told her that Holmes had
said that Mrs. Conner had been
married to a man who took her and
Pearl to California. She says she
met Miss Cig:and when she and
her mother made visit to Chicago
in the summer Of 1892. She saw
Minnie Williams in May 1898,
when she moved to Chicago. Ac-
cording to Cora's recollection her
father was in Texas a long while.
She says she thinks he was there
about seven months. Since the
arrest,last November, Pat Quin-
Ian has communicated many times
with Holmes wife in Wilmette.
Cora says that she and her father
were out to Wilmette last Easter
Sunday, and on the Sunday just
after the 4th OF July. The girl says
she remembers her father often
meeting a man named "Mascot."
This is the man whom Quinlan
says he never met in Texas, but his
daugh ter declares he often spoke OF
having met him. The girl was
asked II she remembered the big
furnace in the basement of the
building. She said her father had
mentioned to her the glass bend
ing concern by Holmes. at was

in the building, bnt he once point

was moved. This, i am quite sure,
is on the corner Of Goth and Sher.
man streets. The building was not
there then but il the furnace was in
a cellar perhaps it is in the ground
yet" The girls statement explains
some OF the failures to find the fur
mace and watts described by Chap
