Morning Paper Presents a Spec
tacle of Utter Demon
aliZation.
OFF ON ITS DATES AT START

Calls Its Party For Evening Caueuses
Anent the Spring Campaign and For
gets All About Its Pet Primary Election
Lava Gay Filtration With Prospective
Candidates.
Quite apparent is it that the Union.
even at this stage of preliminary dis
cussion of the spring campaign. has
found itself afflicted with Il most dis
tressing and discouraging case of
utter decentralization. Adopting as Il
suggestion the announcement that Il
meeting of the republican city-town
ship committee is to be held this
evening at the Office of Chairman
Donaldson Ito agree upon the call
for the nomination of candidates to
be voted for on April +, it proceeds
to forecast what the committee-at
its meeting tonight-is apt to do.
The primaries, the morning authority
on the movements of the local party
of repu blicanism assures its readers,
have been virtually settled on for
Thursday evening, March 16, with the
convention the following day-the
18th. But the Union is not next in eth
er of the announcements attributed to
it. There has been no meeting called
for tonight at Chairman Donaldson's
oiiice-not that the chairman himself
knows about. The meeting of which
the Union has indistinctly heard of
was held Thursday evening of this
week, and on that occasion it was
practically determined to hold the
primaries on the 10th. and not in the
evening, but during the afternoon, as
required by the primary election
law, Il phase of local repub
lican politics to which the party
stands committed, fact that
the Union seems to have lost track of,
notwithstanding that it was so con-
spicuous i'll bringing the party under
such Iegulations-in the ante-post
Office appointment days. And the
convention will follow on the 18th.
which being st. Patrick's day, the
morning paper felicitates itself, is a
fine opportunity for such job. just
where the philosophy of the argument
comes in is not made clear.
Seeks Bold Champion.
But the oracle goes on to discuss
candidates on the republican side. All
are ready, ever eager, it says discus
sing the situation from the republican
standpoint, to catch sight of
Plumed knight or Black Eagle in
our politics" Then it prays aloud
that bold champion may step for
ward from the ranks and unfurl his
banner and see the enthusiasm with
which lie will be swept away, etc. 1t
then goes on to speak of the way the
republican hunt for candidates is pro-
crossing and despite the memories of
its last complimentary reference to
McConochie-aga in the ante-postof-
flee appointment days-it says he may
vet be shouted to to come out here

DES MONIES, May Especial Telegram)
DR.. Kennedy OF the State Board of Health
received telegram announcing fifteen cases
OF smallpox at Leclaire The dispatch came
from Dr. Matthey of Davenport member OF
the State Board of Health, who was sent to
Investigate One case is also reported from
Waterloo, the news coming by telegraph from
DR.. Shrader of Iowa City. Smallpox had
once before been reported at Leclaire, but IL
turned out to be chicken pox. The state
board will urge the local boards throughout
the state to observe the established rules or
the state board regarding vaccination against
smallpox and everything possible will be
done to keep the disease from spreadins.
An indefinite number of the people of the
village have been exposed to the disease
and how many more there will be is inn
possible to state. The three houses where
the disease now exists were quarantined last
week. but the quarantine was not of an
ironclad variety. This week 1t is going to
be different.
The state crop report issued today shows
the conditions as being very favorable and
the season as fully advanced as usual at
this period. There has been a wonderful re-
covery from the late severe spring and in
dications now point to beautiful harvests of
small grain and large acreage Of corn. The
summary:
The mean temperature Of the last week
was above normal the average daily excess
ranging from 2 degrees to degrees. On
the morning of the 4th frost was observed at
many stations, but no damage resulted. The
rainfall was ample in all districts and some
what excessive in portions of the southern
and central sections. Weather conditions
have been favorable for the growth of grass
and all small grain crops, which are re-
ported to be in very fine condition. Pastur-
age is now sufficiently advanced for the
full support of stock. A large area has been
prepared for corn and planting will be in full
progress as soon as the condition of the soil
will permit. In numerous localities a fair
beginning has been made in planting. APP
pie, plum and cherry trees are generally in
bloom. In respect to LEAKAGE, bloom and
general growth Of vegetation the season Is
now about as well advanced as the average
of recent years.

Officers Weir and Pnnell went to Omaha
yesterday to take a look at George Wilson,
the man arrested on suspicion of being
implicated in the attempted robbery OF the
State Savings bank last month That Will
son is the, man whom the police desired to
get hold OF and whose portrait they have
there is little question and the fact that
a meal ticket bearing his name was found
in the alley back of the bank shortly after
the attempted hold-up Is considered strong
evidence that he was there that day
The police have evidence to show that the
man now under arrest in Omaha went to
Sioux City Immediately after the attempted
robbery of the bank and from there to Kan
sas City, where it is believed he Joined a
young woman from this city.
When arrested Wilson was found to have
a woman's gold watch concealed in his sock
and the authorities across the river believe
they have evidence sufficient to connect him
with burglary there. Moore, owner of
the restaurant where Wilson is supposed
to have secured the meal ticket was sick
in bed yesterday, and therefore was unable
to see Wilson. Wilson is believed to be
the man who purchased the smoked eye
glasses at Sellers drug store here.
Chief BiXby stated last night that no
further steps would be taken for two days
to identify Wilson.
