Iowa Press Comment.

Des Moines Leader: One of the Omaha
Midway shows was so hot that it burned
down, supposedly from spontaneous com
bustion.
Sioux City Tribune: 1t is likely that the
thief who stole fifty head of cattle from
Horace Boies, never saw the ex-governor.
1t would be an Unusually mean thief who
would steal anything from the possessor
of such a face as that of Horace Boies.
Des Moines Register: The fruit growers
near Council Bluffs are complaining about
the inability to secure Il sufficient number of
men to gather the crop. And it has only
been a few years since we were telling
about the sending of Iowa troops to Council
Bluffs to keep "Kelley's arm of the un.
employed" from devastating that region.
Was it the war made the change, or re-
publicanism?
Marshalltown Times Republican: 1t is q
matter of general comment among poll
ticlans that the senatorial campaign of 1900
has already begun and that skiTmishes are
now going on in different parts of the state
that will have a bearing upon the contest
in the next legislature, II there is a con-
test, The organization of the republican
state committee is affected by it, for the
man who is chairman this year will I'M
doubleday be chairman next year, when the
legislature is elected. 1t will be important
for a candidate for senator TO find a friend
in the chairman OF the state committee. 1t
proved TO be very important in the last
campaign for senator. The altered situa-
ton in the Eleventh district is causing
more speculation than any other recent oc-
currence. and its effect does not seem now
to be SO clear as it first appeared. The
machinery of the district is in the hands
of Frank Helsell and his friends. Mr.. Hell
sell is a warm personal friend of A. b.
Cummins. but he is also a very shrewd and
far-seeing man, and he will not sink his
ship in an unequal contest. Moreover, his
strongest friends in Buena Vista county, or
most of them. are active Gear men. Mr..
Helsell is young and ambitious, no doubt.
and he is likely to be very cautious about
becoming involved in another mans fight
where IL will do him no good. This, at
least, is the opinion expressed by one OF
his closest friends. 1t is significant and in
dicates that possibly George d. Perkins may
not retire from the senatorial contest under
certain CONTINGENCIES.

proved PntrioticnIly.

WORCESTER, Mass, July 13.-The sixth
annual session of the Clark University sum
mer school was opened today with an ad-
Americanism.' He spoke of the reunion Of
the north and south by the war. and the
sympathy with the United States from Eng
land, and expressed qualification over the
closer bonds of union with the mother
country, He said:
In strange contrast with these tokens
of respect are a few discordant and Earring
notes which are heard at home. l see that
Prof. Norton of Harvard is quoted as tell
ing the youth of the university that it is
characteristic of the American people to be
trlfling. They have acquired a varnish of
civil life, but their natures have not been
refined.
Poor Prof. Norton! Color blind and
music deaf. At this day, when the north
and south are coming together, when Mother
England is learning to know her daughter
and to love her again, he says it is charac-
~teristic of the American to be trining. and
he feels, with Horace Walbole, that he
should be proud of his country if it were
not for his countrymen.
Heaven knows that I do not say this
from any desire to inflict pain, but ii is
due to Harvard that somebody shall say:
If such utterances are to go unreproved
from our foremost university, manhood and
courage and honor will follow athletics to
Yale, or with classical learning to the Eng
lish Cambridge"

News for the Army.

WASHINGTON, July ~13.-(Special Tele-
gram.)-General l.. w. Colby, writing to
friends in this city from Chickamauga, says
he has been assigned to the Of
the Eighth New York, First Vermont and
Third Tennessee infantry regiments. which
constitute the Third brigade OF the First
division of the Third army corps. 1t Is
said az the War department that this Is
a first class and ought TO give a
good account when at the front. Colby, be-
fore leaving Washington, expressed a de-
sire to have two Nebraska regiments in
cluded in his brigade, but found on arrival
at C~hickamauga that the Second Nebraska
was part of a paper brigade and the only
regiment therein. II was deemed best to
assign him TO a full command at the start
and accordingly he was given the regiments
from New York, Vermont and Tennessee.
He says Lieutenant Allen, son of Senator
Allen, is still sick in the camp of the Sec
ond, but is recovering and will shortly be
about.
Colonel Daniel ID. Benham, Seventh in
fantTy, is ordered before a retiring board
to be convened shortly in this city. Colonel
Benham was stationed at Omaha when
Major General Brooke was in charge Of
the Department Of the Platte and is we'll
known in the Gate City. Upon retire
ment, Colonel Benham expects to 60 to

BOGGS duplicates KINNEY
Snys the Senator HID Guilty Nnowl-
edge OF the Cashiers Dcfnlca-
tiOns Since 1895.

WILMINGTON, Del, July 13.-The third
day in the trial of United States Senator
Kenney of Delaware, charged with aiding
and abetting the self-confessed ~defaulting
teller of the First National bank of Dover,
William n. Boggs, in defrauding that in
s%titution of over 500 900, opened today with
further testimony relating to Senator Ken
ney's individual account with the bank.
During the moments prior to the opening
of court Senator Kenney, pale and APP
parently nervous, assisted his counsel, Sen
ator Gray and Lieutenant Bird, in arrang-
ing the papers of the defense.
The morning session was taken up with
testimony relating to Senator Kenney's ac-
counts with the bank and its correspond
encG.
At the afternoon session William N.
Boggs, the defaulting teller, was on the
stand for over three hours, during which
he told of the manner in which he carried
along checks of Senator Kenney's received
from other banks and credited deposits from
him when he had overdrawn his account
and while Boggs was a defaulter in large
sums of money. That he was a defaulter,
witness said, was known to the senator,
and when asked why he carried the de-
PENDANTS checks along for weeks without
charging them, he said, it was because we
were all in the hole together"
During nearly all the period in which
the defalcations took place, he said, Sena-
tor Kenney was cognizant of the fact. AS
to his custom in dealing with Senator Ken
ney's checks, he said, if the account was
not good for them he would pay them out
of the funds of the bank by carrying the
check as a cash item from day to day, or
withholding the deposit slip of another de-
positor.
He said Senator Kenney first knew of his
being a defaulter in October, 1895, when he
was short about $25, 900 or 10000. He felt
Kenney was the man to confide in, their
relations were so intimate. The senator
and Boggs formulated a plan to restore the
deficiency. To do this the witness invested
funds in the Bay State Gas company and
building operations in Philadelphia and !.
firm in Delaware. kennev, the witness
said, dealt in Bay State Gas at the same
time with him and they often discussed the
probabilities of making money. Witness
said that in January, 1897, Senator Kenney
expressed hope that money enough would
be made to get them both out of the hole.

Gold Brick svindIer Esc,pe..

SIOUX CITY, July 13.-(Special Teie-
grant,. C. Brown, one of the gold brick
swindlers recently arrested in Sioux City,
escaped from the Sioux City police force
this afternoon through the efforts of his
attorney, T. e. Bevington. Brown, with c.
Mott, another of the gang, had been ar
rested on the charge Of conspiracy to de-
fraud j. A. Davy, a banker Of Pomeroy,
la. The magistrate before whom they were
given a preliminary hearing discharged
Brown from custody, saying the evidence
would not warrant his detention. j. b.
Moore of Sarina, Ont, was in Sioux City
to secure the arrest of Brown for swindling
him out of $4,000 last April by a gold brick
scheme and the man knew this. AS soon
as the court had announced it's decision
Brown grabbed his hat and with his attor-
ney made a rush for the door. The police
tried to hold them, but Bevington bluffed
, them out because they did not have a
warrant ready to make the arrest as soon
as the man was released on the other
charge. The attorney rushed his 240-pound
client out on the sidewalk, ran and pulled
him for half a block along the sidewalk
and helped him into a buggy which was
waiting with a driver. The horses we're
whipped up and the bird escaped. The
buggy dashed down the street and the police
force was left in the lurch. The other man
is held.

Another Rumor Punctured.

CHAMBERLAIN, S. D., July 13.-(Spe-

syndicate of South Dakota capitalists, was
the mysterious craft which gave rise a few
days ago to reports from the Pacific coast

1t is a vessel Of foreign build, and as 1t

Town Weather md Crops.

DIES MONIES, July 13.-(Special.)-The
climate and crop bulletin of the weather
bureau, Iowa section, issued today, says:
The last week averaged slightly cooler than
usual. The rainfall was variable and gen.
orally light; but in a few localities heavy
showers occurred. At Thurman, Fremont
county, the rainfall on the 9Th and 18th
amounted to nine and seven-tenths inches,
causing heavy damage on the bottom lands.
The cooler weather was favorable for small
grain crops, checking the tendency to rust,
and the conditions were generally favorable
for work in the harvest fields. Haying is
well advanced in all districts, with heavy
yield generally secured in good condition.
Winter wheat and rye are mostly in shock
and threshing operations are about to begin.
Spring wheat and oats are filling well and
early sown fields are nearly ready for the
harvest. Allowing for all damage by lodg-
ing and rust, these crops are likely to bring
about an average yield.
