N|NTH'S CANCELLATION.
Stubenvoll Thinks the Good
Offices Of the Sub-Com-
mittee Necessary.

Chairman Louis stubenvoll, Of the
Ninth Ward Republican Association, mas
received communication from the chalr-
man of the subcommittee OF the re
publican Organization Committee. asking
that gentleman to arrange for meeting
of the association and to take action on
tbe nlans of the subcommittee. Wnicn

Mr.. Stubenvoll as leader OF the Waro'
was asked If the services OF the SUD-
committee would be requested. His reply
to this Interrogation is calculated TO give

Nevertheless. these machine leaders are
decidedly anxious for an early and ami
cable reconciliation of the disrupted rae
tions. 1t will be intensely amusing to
see the manner in which the factions go
about the reconciliation business, II
the matter even advances that far. The
leaders recognize the. potency OF 1nis
gang of traitors" as the anti-ringsters
are mildly characterized, and fear that
any overtures made by the machine Will
be arrogantly ignored. 1.-THE News has
on several occasions described accurately
the condition of the political situation In
that ward. The situation has not I'M
proved one bit during the past year and
a half. Anyone with any knowledge OF
political affairs in this county under
stands that the anti-ring people are de-
termined lot, and are out for what they
are pleased to term ''clean politics" The
merry war, they say, will be carried
on until the present leaders are de-
throned. and such men as Johnny Lam
drine and ex-Congressman Thomas Nc
Evan are put up as leaders, and martyrs,
who have seen fit to fight all kinds OF
battles bearing the brunt most of the
time. for the party of their hearts, are re-
warded Time viii tell. for no one else
viii presume to air his opinions on how
the Ninth ward controversy will be
brought to a definite understanding on
both sides.
Little amusement is anticipated at the
meeting of the Ward Association, as the
forces of the machine are overwhelmingly
against the anti-ringsters.

the Commissioners.
The owner OF a piece of property for
merly owned by George B. Bergkamp

complained of an assessment at the rate
of sl,So0 on property which cost 300. i
was this assessment which led to the
calling down, of Assessor Hoppe He was
tosd the assessment was too low.
The assessors were all told that in cases
where property owners claimed they were
exempt from taxation as a veteran sol
dier, sailor or fireman, they should be
made TO show their credentials. The
Board believes that there are number
of persons claiming exemption from taxa
tion of properties who are not entitled
thereto. This subject will be freely dis
cussed at this afternoons IS meeting

SILVER ORE FROM SOUTH AMERICA
First Cargo Brought on the Kenti-
zern.

PHILADELPHIA, July 49, 1S99-What
is probably the first cargo of silver and
silver ore brought from the west coast of
South America to an Atlantic coast port
of this country has reached here on the
British steamer Kentizern Slowed away
in her hold are 1929 sacks of high grade
ore and 600 bars of pig silver valued at
over $150000, besides an assorted cargo
worth $4,000 more The steamer left
GuayaGuil, Ecuador, on April % last, and
stopped to pick UP a general cargo at
various ports.
The silver comes from rich mines high
up in the mountains Of Bolivia, which are
worked by English and American miners.
1t must be carried many miles on the
backs of mules to Autofogasta. the near
est seaport. The lack of smelling facili-
ties makes it necessary to ship most of
the ore out of the country, but it is said
to be rich enough TO stand the added ex-
pense.
There is no record in the custom house
here of any imports of silver ore to this
city from South America, and no duty is
imposed on such cargo

AN IMPORTANT CASE.
Right to Manufacture Certain Patent
Medicine to be Tested.

Ames, Oct. 1.-THE district court at
its next sitting in Nevada will hear a
very important case, in which is in
volved, possibly, a fortune. The par.
ties to the litigation are d. NJ. Bos-
worth and DR.. E. b. Cramblitt, both OF
Ames. The former is a pharmacist, the
latter veterinarian, who has achieved
considerable note because of the sue.
cess of a preparation known as Dr.
Cramblitt's King of Pain.
The charge is brought against the
doctor by Mr.. Bosworth, who claims, in
substance, that the former violated ar.
ticles of agreement by manufacturing
the preparation after the right OF
manufacture had been sold to him
DR.. Cramblitt constructed the formula
bv which the liniment is made some.
thing over eighteen years ago, and
since that time has made enormous
sales, the medicine having proved to be
meritorious. In 1895, according to tho
contract. DR.. Cramblitt agreed to sur
render the right of manufacture te
Mr.. Bosworth for consideration. The
charge now brought by Mr.. Boswortl
is that the doctor has not kept faith
and he asks damages to the extent o.
$500.
The case involves. aside from the
amount of damages claimed, possibly
the right of manufacture.

Nothing is clearer than that American

sugar making than Iowa, yet we have
no factories. The time to do something
is now at hand. Capitalists and experts
