Weaver had conference with the re-
publican leaders Of the Third district
at Waterloo yesterday afternoon. Ey-
cry county in the district except Har-
din and Wright were represented. Ex-
Chairman Hancock was present and
took part in the conference. Reports
from the different counties indicate
that the republicans are active and are

oughly.
Chairman Weaver stated that num-
Der of republican meetings had been
arranged for. Senator Allison will
open the campaign at Marion October
Ia, and on that date meetings will be
held in each district. Governor Shaw
will speak at Iowa City September 80,

with some Of the most prominent re-
publicans OF the nation, and though nc

made, it is believed that the importance
| of the campaign in Iowa at the opening
| skirmish of the contest of 1900 is such
that it will not be difficult to secure

stoned officers, thirty seven are reported
on duty and eight sick, one being on

account of sickness.
The regiment was located at San Fer
nando the entire month. The record of
events states that on June 80 the out
posts were attacked at 1920 p. m. and
the entire regiment was ordered on the
firing line. The enemy's fire was si-
fenced by few volleys. The only casu-
atty was sustained by Edward F..
