London, Feb. lo.-The st. James
Gazette this afternoon, alone comments
upon the De LONE incident. 1t says:
'sSenor De LONE has resigned, and it
was the right course, whether he wrote
or did not write the letter; but the in
cident is bound to make unpleasantness
between the two governments and add
to the chances of trouble about Cuba,
which are by no means so few as certain
authorities profess to believe"

Tho determination OF the European powers
TO observe a strict neutrality during the war

policy that Nigh. have been reasonably tx
pected In view OF the various interests they

outside interference might Involve all Europe
in a conflict from which 1t could not possibly
have anything to gain. An international war
would be altogether dis7strous to the govern

Safe Breaking.

Tuesday morning when John Musson
entered his grain office at the North
Western elevator he found their safe
had been wrecked by burglars. The
door had been drilled, powder put in
and the blast shattered the safe door to
pieces and otherwise injured the safe so
as to make it nearly worthless. The
steel money box had been taken out of
the safe and carried off. 1t contained
only three or four cents in money but
had few hundred dollars worth of
notes. These however will not likely be
of any value to the robbers or loss to
Musson & Son as their payment can be
arranged for without them.
The officers at once commenced to in
vestigate the matter. An empty Hostel
ter Bitters bottle was found dropped at
the grain office. 1t had on it a cancelled
revenue stamp with the date of the day
previous and VIM. Cioughly's initials.
1t was taken to Mr.. Cloughly who iden-
titled it and said he sold it to man who
signed himself Geo. McCarter, a man
about feet inches high, weight about
165 pounds, smooth faced, sunburned,
black, hard hat, dark clothes. This
man the day before bought powder at
McKarahan's hardware store and asked
for dynamite. He was seen in company
Monday with another stranger, one
armed man, and they both had left town
! Tuesday morning on the Rock Island.
The officers telegraphed at once and
found McCarter had got off al Nicola
and they have not been able to find him
since. The one-armed man was arrested
at Council Bluffs and brought here by
Sheriff Jones yesterday. He says his
name is Frank Shields, that he came
from the east, has no home, came to Au
dubon Saturday to buy suit of clothes
and concluded to stay few days. Has
no business. He is suspicious appearing
but there not being evidence sufficient
for holding him, the officers have about
concluded to release him.

Of The Cass vote went to Mcpherson
for a few votes but came back again
Later few Pottawattomie votes went
to Mcpherson. Yesterday the Hager
delegates aided by the Curtis delegates
nearly all went to Mcpherson and with
few Byers men from Pottawattomie
nominated him.
On the last roll call, Audubon, which
had voted s for Hager all the time
started the break, going seven for Nc
Pherson and for Byers. Guthrie vot-
ed 81 for Byers and 81 for Mcpherson.
Harrison and Shelby stayed by Byers.
but Pottawattomie gave Mcpherson
and Byers 10. Mills went to McPher-
son as did Cass also. Then Adair
changed to Mcpherson. OF course
was for him. He had
1917 to 3511a for Byers.

Mcpherson Nominated.

Word reached here yesterday at $50
that Smith Mcpherson was nominated
OH the Cloth ballot. While the wish
for Hager's denomination largely pre-
dominated among Audubon county re-
publcans, it was becoming apparent
to those who watched the reports day
by day that his nomination was becOm-
ing less propable, and our people were
casting about for second choice.
For this Mcpherson was "a favourite
and his nomination gives good salts
faction. On him all republicans can
unite. He is regarded as a very able
man. He is honorable and coura-
geous. He will be congressman the
peer i'll ability to any on the famous
Iowa delegation, and by the time we
keep him there few years he will
have influence equal to any of them.
Smith Mcpherson was born in Nor
ton county, Indiana, in lS48. He had
a common school education, and as a
young man worked on the farm He
graduated from the law school of the
Iowa State University III 1870, and
went at once to Red Oak to practice,
where at all times since he has resided.
He held the Office of district attorney
of the old Third Iowa district, com.
posed of eight counties in southern
Iowa, from 1874 to December 1880, and
was elected to the Office of attorney
general of the state in 1881, which posi-
ton he held until 1885, since which he
has devoted his time to his practice
He is regarded as one of the leading
lawyers of the state
The convention which nominated
} Mr.. Mcpherson was one of the mos
, remarkable in the history of the state

over to the examination of applicants
for teachers certificates. There were
l35 examined about twenty of whom
were examined for professional certif-
Gates. The grading of the examination
papers will likely be finished today and
