Mason City Firm Lose Ten Valuable
Thoroughbred Horses in the Scots-

Special to Times Republican.
Mason City, Oct. 2.-Upton & Brown,
of this city, We're heavy losers in the
wreck of the Scotsman on Belle Isle.
the crew of which is said to have be-
haved SO shamefully to the passengers
in their peril.
Uptown & Brown had on board ten of
the finest horses that could be bought
in France. OF these nine were heavy
draught and one coach horse. The ag-
gregate value of the horses was S21 ,000
and special arrangements had been
made for attending to their comfort on
the ship.
When the ship struck and listed one
of the horses broke his leg and had to
be shot, another was drowned and an
other struck his head against a stanch-
ion and was killed. The others were
then all right. After the passengers
| were landed Mr.. Upton returned every
day and fed the survivors, until he
started, on the advice of the captain, tic

board to care for the horses, but his
work was in vain, for on the arrival of

NAMES HARLAN DYING.
Ex-United states senator from Iowa
and a Member of Lincoln's Cabt-
net Near Death.

Ex-United States senator from Iowa
and a Member of LincOln,s Cabt-
net Near Death.
Mt. Pleasant, Oct. 2.-James Harlan,
last living member of Abraham Lin
coins cabinet and Iowa's grand old
man." is lying at the point of death at
his home in this city. His passing away
lis expected at any moment. Urgent
ter, Mrs. Robert T. Lincoln, of Chicago,
who is now at Monmouth Beach. N. j.,
summoning her to his bedside, but it is
feared she cannot arrive in time.
Two days ago Mr.. Harlan, despite the
weight of his years, was seemingly in
excellent health. His condition was a
subject of surprise when he called the
Methodist lay conference to order Fri
day afternoon. His exertions at that
time, though, We're apparently too
much for him. for he was suddenly
stricken upon his return home that
night and has since been steadily sink
ing.
Mr. Harlan occupies a place in the
affections of Iowans second only to
that of the memories clustering around
War Governor Kirkwood. Iowa proudly
claims him as her own, although he
was born in Illinois and educated in In
diana. He first saw the light of day in
Clark county, Illinois, in 1920. -Four
years later his parents moved to In
diana. He was graduated from the
Asbury University, Greencastle. Ind,
| in 1S45, was married the same year and
came to Iowa, where he has resided
ever since.
| In his early Iowa days Mr.. Harlan
farmed and taught school. In 1S47 he
Twas elected state superintendent OF
| schools, serving one year. He ther
practiced law, after season of study
until 1853, when he was elected presi-
dent of the Iowa Wesleyan College IL
| this city, occupying this position two
years.
\ In 1866 Mr.. Harlan was elected United
! States senator and was reelected il
1851. He resigned in 1865 to become
secretary of the interior under Abra.
| ham Lincoln. The following year he
was again elected to the senate, but In
1872 was defeated by William b. Alli-
son, who has been reelected ever since
In 1882 Mr.. Harlan was appointed chic
Justice of the court of commissioners OF
Alabama claims, which position he held
four years.
In 1893 he was called from retirement
to act as temporary chairman of the re
publican state convention. AS sucf
officer he made a speech which had
tremendous influence in checking tn,
; threatened bolt of prohibition for prac
teal local option. He was candidat,
for the republican nomination for gov
ernor in 1895. but his age was agains

/ of the Rock Island, slated for Octo-
Der /.
| The changes, with the possible ex-
ception of Mr.. Aliens resignation, were
not even suspected by the officers con-
cerned.
| Mr.. Given at his Office yesterday de-
| clined to make any statement. Super
| intendent Hobbs was absent in Chicago
and superintendent Gilmore tossed up
both hands and soemnly declared he
! didn't know thing about any intended
changes. But the information was
verified beyond question later and the
additional information given out that
| the changes would be made October L.
| The announcement of the resignation
| of Mr.. Allen was received with surprise
| and many spoken regrets by officers
and employees, since, Notwithstanding
| he was a strict disciplinarian and kept
the II 600 employees of the whole system
under his supervision by frequent pill
1 grimages over the lines, he enjoyed the
/ good will and respect of the company.
He is classed among the most compe-
tent operating men in the western rail-
road service. and his resignation is in
terpreted to imply that, suspecting he
had attained to the greatest official
prominence he could expect with the
company at the time Mr.. Parker was
i made general manager to succeed Mr.
| Truesdale, when he, himself was the
logical man to succeed the latter, Mr.

THE IDOL or THE TURF.


The Most Popular Jockey In Amer.
lea and England Recommends stu
art's Dyspepsia Tablets.
No jockey has ever appealed SO
strongly to public favor at Tod Sloan.
He has achieved more than his most
noted predecessors ever attempted and
stands in class by himself.
Not satisfied with his successes in his
native country, he went to England,
and now his fame as a successful horse
man is on the tip Of every tongue, not
only in this country and England but in
every section OF the globe where racing
has found favor.
When Tod first went to England his
temerity was openly laughed at, but
the little American played skittles with
his English rivals and his victories
made all England gasp.
Having the stamp of royal approval,
society both at home and abroad
'lionize" him and he is feted and pet
ted to an extent that would turn an or
binary mortal's head.
The great jockey was In such demand
socially and dined and wined to such
an extent that 1t was feared his health
would give way. Too much society and
the nervous strain of racing told on
him.
A two weeks trip to America made
him acquainted with Stuart's Dyspep-
STA Tablets and their remarkably res
torative effects on depleted digestive
apparatus and he recommended them in
unstinted terms to a FRIEND, saying
'.Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are the
best thing know of for keeping the
stomach in condition and appetite in
good repair"
Thousands of former dyspeptics can
vouch for the truth of Tod Sloan's
words, as "Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
have become household word in
America, and few families are without
them. One or two taken after meals
keep the stomach sweet by causing
prompt and healthy digestion Of the
food.
Perfectly healthy people use them af-
ter heavy dinners to keep their good
health and to make sure that no i'll eff
fects will follow an unusually hearty
meal.
Your druggist will tell you, or your
doctor either. that Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets are composed only of digestive
ferments, asceptic pepsin. hydrastis,
fruit acids, ETC., and for the strong
stomach as we'll as the most delicate
constitute a safeguard against indiges-
ton and stomach troubles.

||R[ GEAR SIDE OF It

Recent Conventions Are Nearly ALI
Claimed For Their Man-Cum.
Minis Gets Plymouth.
Senator Hobart Instructed for the

mated in Cedar.

Des Moines, Oct. 2-The Gear mana
gers have issued the following state
ment:
Since Sept. 90 the following counties
have held their representative conven-
tions: Cedar, Howard, Ida, Monona,
Lee, Plymouth. Webster and Shelby
and the convention in the Worth Win
nebago district. which is still dead
locked, after taking over 5000 ballots,
the results of these conventions are as
follows: Gear, 9; Cummins, 2; demo-
cratic counties, g. The principal sur
prise of the last week was the action of
the Webster county convention, in
which Mr.. Blake, the Cummins candi-
date, pulled through by the narrow
margin of eight votes, but with no in
structioEs. He is for Dolliver first,
Cummins second choice. This county
has been conceded to be the center of
lCummins' political influence in north
western Iowa. And the Gear men made
no effort whatever to secure it. AS a
result the close fight showed that Mr..
Gear is making inroads into Mr.. Cum
Minis territory. This result and the
L
Dodge Messenger, one of the heretofore
strong Cum1fins papers, was a hard
blow to Mr.. Cummins. In the issue of
the Messenger last Tuesday appeared
a long editorial of which the following
| is the closing paragraph: Mr.. Cum
Minis is likely to be more advanced in
years at the beginning of his first term
| in the senate than Governor Gear at
the end of his last"
| Another surprising fact was the ac-
ton of the Scott county convention on
Saturday of last week. This county
was supposed to be the head center of
Mr. Cummins' influence in the Second
district, and yet, when the convention
| met. there was no attempt to adopt
resolutions and Mr.. Cummins' name
was not mentioned in the convention.
In Howard county Dr. Overfeld, who
was nominated for the house, is a
strong supporter of MIR. Gear, and out
| of the eighty delegates to the county
convention siXty-one We're favorable to
Mr.. Gears candidadcy. AT the conven-
ton held in August to select delegates
Ito the republican state convention a
Resolution was unanimously adopted
ipledging the county to Senator Gear.
The convention in the da-Monona dis
ltrict was held yesterday and resolutions
endorsing Senator Gear We're also
unanimously adopted. This is a dis
lstrict which the Cummins people have
always claimed in their public state
4 ments to the press
Conventions are yet to be held ir
three senatorial districts, all of which
Iare democratic with the possible excep-
ton of one, and in five representative
districts, all of which are democratic
,Governor Gear now has rs votes certain
Senator Gear will open the campaign in
