Two Stories of Brynn's Illness.
Secretary Walsh of the democratic national
committee, who is here today, received two
kilograms concerning the sickness of Bryan
one from Bryan himself and the other from
Chairman Huffman of the state committee,
who is with him. The latter was sent half
hour after Bryan telegraphed that he was
ready to fill all engagements, that the news
paper reports were much exaggerated and
that he would be in Ottumwa tomorrow.
Chairman HUFFMAN later telegraphed head
quarters Bryan was wholly unable to take
care OF his engagements and would come to
Des Moines for a rest Tuesday afternoon il
able to travel. He suggested Bryan's ap-
pointments be filled by other speakers
Walsh is OF the opinion that Bryan's illness
Is nothing more than a severe cold.
The sixteenth session of the Great Council
Of Iowa, Improved Order of Redmen, will
open tomorrow morning. The delegates are
almost all present today. This evening there
was meeting of the Past Sachems' asso-
citation of Iowa, after which a banquet was
| served at the Goldstone, followed by ball.
Fire Losses Settled in Full.
The RothweIis, owners of the property
which was occupied by the Harris Emery
company, are still In Des Moines and will re-
main until they have definitely decided what
| kind of building to erect for the firm.
| The firms lease will be continued and the
Rothwells will erect a six or seven n-story
building.
The insurance on the building and stock
furniture and fixtures was adjusted this
| morning on the basis of a full settlement
of insurance for total loss as follows:
Rothwell Bros, on building, $4,000; Harris
Emery company on stock, $780, ,OOO on fur
niture and fixtures, $1,000; total $206 ,OOO
| The actual loss by the fire was greatly in
| excess of the insurance. Harris Emery COM
panys is estimated at $4,000 and Rothwell's
at $40, 900.
| Des MOines Ministers Outraged.
Rev. l.. N. McCash Rev. A. L. Frisbie
Rev. e. l.. Eaton, Rev. IT. Nick. Stuart and
| Rev. A. G. Douglas were this morning ap-
pointed a committee by the Ministerial asso-
| citation to prepare resolutions protesting
| against certain attractions which were al
lowed upon the midway during the carnival
The association feels that the pledges made
by the Semi Om-Sed, especially by the mid
way committee, to the Ministerial asocia.
| tion, that no entertainments or shows OF
an Objectionable nature should be allowed
upon the streets, have been greatly violated
and that some one is responsible for this
violation.
