city and returned home Monday even

have been sorrowful tragedy had 1t
not been for the presence of mind and
quick work of Arson Willard, son of
Mr.. and Mrs. F. HI. Willard. 1t was
Sunday afternoon that the event took
place. Esther Forney, younger daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. w. r. Forney, and
Marie Shove, younger daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. H. w. Shove, had gone wad-
ing in the river but a little way from
the camp. The former had gone be-
yond her depth and her companion
brayely went to her assistance. She
was unable to help her. however, and
both went down. Young Willard, who
was also in the river and who is an ex-
cellent swimmer, took in the situation
at a glance and went rapidly toward
them. Marie Shove was taken out with

IN TOWN.
Gifted Des Moines Lawyer and Can
didate For Senator Visits
This City.
Legal Business Brings Him Here
But / M is Improved to
Talk Politics.

The Hon. A. B. Cummins of Des
Moines, who has been retained as coun-
sci IN what is known as the Given suit
against the Times Republican Printing
Company, was in the city yesterday
on matters pertaining to the case. Mr..
Cummins admitted that it was business
matters that brought him here primar-
lily, but made no bones" Of the fact
that he was improving the opportunity
to talk politics. He is the opposition
candidate to the present senator.
Gears reelection, and has succeeded in
stirring up such a campaign that all
other possibilities have not only been
side-t tracked, but the chances as be-
tween himself and Mr.. Gear are most
dangerously close for the comfort of
either.
Mr.. Cummins spent a large share of
the afternoon in visit to the T.-R.
Office, which was greatly enjoyed by all
present. He is most charming man
to meet. With his large, erect figure.
healthy, robust appearance. clear. quick
eye and straightforward, open-hearted
way of addressing one, 1T is no wonder
that he wins friends wherever he goes
and finds men who, after a few min
utes' talk. are ready to take off their
coats and go to work for him. For
years Mr. Cummins has been recognized
as the head of the Des Moines bar, and
by his long continued service In the re-
publican party has gained wide ac-
quaintance throughout the state, which
is now helping him In his campaign
against one of the most powerful po-
litical organizations Iowa has ever seen.
Should he succeed. his personal appear
ance today promises that he would be
able to give the state active service for
at least the life of another generation.
Like Mr.. Gear, he has many friends in
Marshalltown who are DESTROYS of see
ing him made our next senator.
OF course the IRIS political forecast
was called into question, although the
intention of the editors to be absolutely
fair was admitted. Mr.. Cummins thinks
that he has information of facts and
conditions that will give him the votes
of several more counties than were con-
ceded him in that article. He doubtless
has, but Mr.. Gear is known to hold the
same opinions, 50 about the only abso-
lutely sure thing in the situation is that
they can't both be right. Both can't
win. There are sure to be surprises in
store for each, especially when it comes
to the organizing of the next general
assembly. AT present Mr.. Cummins is
fully confident of success, and thinks
that he can see his way out Of the will
derness of doubt and uncertainty. even
at this distance.
