The new flag staff purchased by the
Iowa State Normal School is the tallest
staff in the state. 1t is a magnificent
affair, straight as an arrow, and the
taper is so gradual that it is hardly
noticeable. 1t is formed of single
tree and is 12S feet in length. 1t grew
in the state of Washington and was
shipped to Cedar Falls on five fiat cars
Unfortunately, i'm order to raise pole
of such enormous stature it was neces-
sary to cut it into two pieces. The
longest is IS feet. AS the staff now
stands it is lis feet from the ground to
the top. 1t occupies the grand knoll
above the presidents house and is a de-
serving place for Old Glory.

coming frightened it started to run
away and one of the horses kicked Mr..

REPUBLICANS OF KENTUCKY.
James G. Bailey Nominated for Clerk
of the Court of Appeals.

Louisville, Ky, Aug. 1O.-James G.
Bailey of Magofin county was nominated
for clerk of the court of appeals by the
republican state convention here to-day.
Contrary to the expectations of many,
the convention, which was held in Music
Hall, for the purpose of nominating
clerk Of the court of appeals, was en-
tirely harmonious in it's work.
There was an idea in some quarters
that there would be a bitter fight be
tween the Bradley and Hunter-Todd fac
tions, but the generalshlp of the party
leaders on and off the floor of the conven-
tion prevented the anticipated clash. The
state and national administrations were
indorsed and civil service was opposed
along the lines laid down by the recent
Ohio republican convention.
The convention was a quiet one. There
was no enthusiasm to speak Of the only
real applause coming when the speakers
referred to civil service reform. The NOM
ination Of Mr.. Bailey was unanimous.
The resolutions adopted were as follows:
Resolved, by the republican party IN
convention assembled:
First, That we reaffirm the principles
of the republican party as set forth i'm
the platform adopted by it at St. Louis in
1896.
Second That we indorse the republ-
can national and state administrations,
and especially commend the action of our
present state officials In their efforts to
suppress mob violence and to preserve the
financial credit of the state.
Third, we commend the action Of the
representatives, of the republican party I'm
the passage of a tariff bill which viii raise
revenue sufficient to support the govern
ment prevent the issue of interest bear
ing bonds, protect American labor and
maintain the national credit.
Fourth, we are opposed to a system Of
civil service that builds up an official class
practically a life tenure in almost all
mand that the civil service be so modified
as 10 limit the terms OF service to four
years with the privilege of reappointment
or promotion, subject to such restrictions
as will secure competent officials, and 10
every section OF the country its proper por-
tion OF them.
Fifth. we heartily sympathize with the
struggling people OF Cuba In their efforts
to secure liberty and independence
sixth. We recommend TO the people the
adoption Of the constitutional amendments
submitted by the last legislature allowing
an cities and towns the privilege of rcgu-
latlng under legislative supervision the
method Of evying the taxes they impose
on themselves for city and town expens-
es"
Cnited States Senator Dcboe and Judge
Denny addressed the convention ana both
were heartily received.

CUBA AND THE ASSASSINATION.
stores and Exchanges Closed at Hn-
Van0 as "a Mark of Respect.

Havana, Aug. 10-The official announce
ment of the assassination of Senior Cano-
vas, the Spanish premier, was published
to-day in the Official Gazette and the To-
cal newspapers.
As a mark of respect for the deceased
statesman the stores are closed and the
stock exchange and produce exchange
have suspended and are closed Thorough
fares are being hung with black drapery
and other signs of mourning are displayed
about the city
The crime of Coli is being earnestly dis
cussed on all sides. The news of the
premiers murder was a great shock and
a surprise to all classes, and expressions
OF sorrow are everywhere to be heard
Inc dying declaration Of Canovas, Long
live Spain," is the subject of considerable
comment in the newspapers. They all
printed editorials expressing great sor-
row at the death of the Spanish minis
ter and the great loss sustained by the
Spanish nation, and dwell upon the public
and private virtues of the deceased states
man while regrettnG his disappearance
in these critical times. The future is re-
ferred to almost with apprehension, al
though the people are asked to trust
in the patriotism of the Spanish states
men and in the loyalty of the Spaniards
in both hemispheres to prevent further
trouble in Spain. The appearance of af-
ternoon editions of the newspapers of Ha-
Vana with the details of the assassina-
ton was most eagerly awaited to-day.

seizure of the Morgan The Result Of
Mistnlke.


Washington, Aug. 1o-The government
viii order the release of the schooner
Blanche Morgan. now detained at Bridge
port, Conn, as a suspected nnbuster
Capt Very, representing the government
at the Bridgeport ammunition works, was
at the department to-day and stated that
the ammunition found ON the Morgan be-
longed TO the government, and was being
shipped to New York
1t may be that the government may be
called on to pay a bill for domurrage grow
ing out of the comedy of errors involving
the detention OF the Morgan.
1t is said al the war department that
the Morgan Is a powder boat belonging
to the Dupont Powder Company, and that
for many years she has been engaged in
the sole business of carrying powder from
the dupont mills in Delaware TO the ann
muniuon factories in Connecticut A
powder boat is surrounded by regulations
as to danger flags and lights that mark
her easily among water craft. On her
return trip the Morgan has been accom-
modatlng the Dupont company's custom
ers by taking their fixed ammunition away
from the factories and delivering 1t at
the government arsenas or outgoing
steamers at New York. 1t is thought at
the department that such a boat would
be well known at Bridgeport
The American Ordnance CompanV.
through Vice President Very, has been
actively at work TO secure the release of
the Morgan Upon the representations OF
Mr.. Very the war department last night
sent couple of decidedly positive teie-
grams to the treasury officials at Bridge
