BOOMING BOIES
The Iowa Men Growing Their Favorite to
the Front

CHICAGO, July 3.-The Iowa men
have been preparing to make strong
fight all along the line of the delegates
beginning tomorrow. 1t is stated by the
Boies managers that they are using the
same tactics so successfully employed
by Dan Manning when Cleveland was
nominated for the first time. By Sun
day there will be a swarm of Iowa men
here who are coming in clubs and by
special trains. There is considerable
rivalry between Boies and Bland as it
is thought that if one was out of the way
the other would be nominated The Boies
men on the ground say that they are not
making as much show as the Missouri
ians but they expect to fill the city with
workers tomorrow night and Sunday.
viii Wells, one of the Iowa delegates al
large arrived today and began work en-
ergetically for the Iowa favorite. He
says that the arguments the Boies men
are making are having considerable
force, as a candidate is needed who can
carry more than the South and the sill
yer states, and who can make inroads
upon the block of Mississippi valley
states and have good chance to carry
Indiana and Michigan. The Iowa men
claim that Boies is the only candidate
who can make an effective fight in these
states which are needed to be carried
this election.
BOIES is SILENT
OMAHA, Neb, July "a special to
the Bee from Waterloo, Ia, says: Gov.
Boies left for Chicago tonight, unes-
corted. AS usual he had nothing to
say, but his countenance beamed with
smile that betokened confidence in the
result of the convention. Mr.. Boies has
spent the past week handling and an
swering the great volume of mail matter
that is coming to him from all sections
of the country. 1t is understood Boes
will not enter the convention as a dele
gate at large, having relegated that duty
to Judge Van Wagenen of Rock Rapids.
MAKE NO WAR
OTTUMWA, Ia, July 3-S. 3. Evans,
the chairman of the Iowa state Demo-
cratic delegation, said today:
II see a statement in the papers that
Boies' men had contemplated an attack
on BANDS pension record. Please say
if this means the Iowa delegation, it
is untrue. The Iowa delegates make
war on no candidate, certainly not
against Mr.. Bland, for whom they have
the kindiest feelings. They know Mr.

VENTURA, July Camp Phil Sheri

expected tomorrow can be gained by the
fact that there are now over 1900 people

Department Commander of California

to deliver an interesting address at the

gathered His remarks were devoted
principally to an account of the condi-

Miss Agnes Petrie, president of the
Ladies' Aid to the Sons of Veterans, in
a short address explained that, being the
daughters of veterans, it was the duty of
the organization to aid the sons and es-

Mark Hanna's Idea

Mr.. Hanna's idea is to run the cam
paign on the 1lne of protective tariff and
get away as far as possible from the silver
issue. He certainly has not let the grass
grow under his feet. This is seen in the
pilgrimage to Canton, which he put in
motion the first day after the nominal
ton, and which, according to the under
standing here, is to be kept up daily and
twice daily and thrice daily until the last
day of the campaign. OF course this will
take great deal of money, and Mr.
Hanna may discover that the end of his
long purse is reached before he would so
wish it, The delegations of working

who succeed them will expect to be

store Scenery Affected by YItascope

The unquestioned success of the vita
scope has turned the attention of stage
managers to the possibilities which are
now opened out in the improvement of
their scenery. One of them said, after
seeing the vitascope pictures: THAT
settles scenery. Painted trees that do
not move, waves that get up few feet
and stay there, everything in scenery we
simulate on our stages will have to go.

pictures are wonderfully realistic. The
figures are life-like and appear to be

tresses, stirred by the vigor of the per-
formers exercise, streamed out as nat
urally as if a little breeze were toying

An experiment is being tried in large
Pennsylvania mine which, if success
ful, will have an Important bearing
upon the coal mining industry in the
future. The mine is worked as far as
1t is possible to get at the coal available
under ordinary conditions. Many large
pillars have been left standing because
1t was too dangerous to try to work
them, if not impossible. Throughout this
region much valuable coal has been lost
from this cause. In his annual report
the engineer of the mine estimates that
the amount of coal left standing in these
pillars is about 35 per cent 1t is thought
that fully 30 per cent of this coal can be
recovered. 1t is proposed to bore holes
into the workings and then allow them
to fill up with silt or fine coal dirt This
will penetrate freely to all parts of the
mine, as it will be thoroughly saturat ted
with water before it enters the surface
openings When this sit has become
hard the old mine will again be opened
up, gangways will be driven through the
silt, and the coal which is left standing
will thus be reached. The plan has al
ready been tried with success in a small
way If its feasibility in large mines can
be proved, it viii enable many mines to
be reopened that formerly cost so much
to operate as TO leave little prospect of
profit.

Parlor Arnusernents.

A pleasant variation in an evening Of
games is the drawing of flowers with COL
ored crayons and thon having your guests

the name of ono Of the flowers with its
corresponding number until you have

one Of the slips, or have draw for them,

Mating.

Housekeepers are beginning to learn that
the very cheap qualities of mating are
really very dear. In the bedroom Of an
adult perhaps, and well covered with dura-
Bile rugs, the cheap mating serves pur-
pose, but it is folly to depend upon it in
the nursery, dining or living room. The
moro expensive, we'll made, jointless mat
tings offer much better final economy.
These may be- if desired, sewed like car
pets, and, though no mating adapts itself
we'll to refltting in another room, tho
jointless variety does so better than any
other sort. In colored mating dark shades
cannot be recommended to wear, with per-
haps the exception Of the old gold tint
This color produces in the wearing proc
ess natural mating shade that Is not
Objectionable.
