MEETING Ar KNOXVILLE.
Senatorial Candidates Rominger and
Porter Hold a Joint Discussion.

Unionville, Oct. 27.-(Special.) THE
fourth joint discussion of the political
issues between Hon. Ellsworth Rom
niger and Hon. Claude r. Porter was
held in Bray's hall Wednesday even
ing. The hall was crowded by enthu-
siastic admirers of each candidate. Mr..
Rominger opened the discussion with
a strong, logical, convincing speech, in
which he showed how the factories,
machine shops, farmers and laborers
had been put to work under the wise
administration of President Mckinley,
and that universal happiness and pros
perity had been brought to the entire
people of the United States. His pa
triotic endorsement of President Nc
Kinley's course in the Philippines was
roundly applauded. No speaker ever
appeared at Unionville that so thor
oughly charmed the voters as Mr.. Rom
niger did in his forty-fve minutes
able, fair, eloquent. He is
master of the art of speak
ing. Mr.. Porter struggled for
almost one hour trying to prove that
there was no prosperity. He arraigned
the administration for its Philippine
policy, endorsed Bryan's and Whites
records on free trade and laconically
declared that "the republicans of APP
panoose county were going to elect
him, and he was going to vote for a
Bryanite for the United States senate"
His entire speech was listened to by
the farmers of Udell township in ST
lence. Mr.. Romingeri closed in his
bold, fearless, eloquent manner, pune
turing every fallacy set forth by Mr..
Porter, to the entire satisfaction of the
entire audience. Mr.. Rominger was
raised on farm in Davis county, and
is thoroughly posted upon the needs
of the farmers and laboring. men of
this senatorial district,
The republicans are happy and the
business men, la'borers and farmers of
Appanoose and Davis counties propose
to elect Mr.. Rominger, that they may
have young man who will fifty repre-
sent them among the able men of the
state Of Iowa.

MUST PAY TAX OR QUIT STATE.
Foreign Insurance Companies Lore
Their Case In Iowa.

Des Moines, Oct. 2s.-The supreme
court yesterday decided against the
foreign insurance companies in their
attempt to prevent the collection of the
tax of 311s per cent on their gross pre-
MUM receipts, as required by the new
state law. They are required to pay
this tax before they can secure certifi-
Gates from the auditor of state allow
ing them to do business in the state.
The court holds that the 31a per
cent tax against gross receipts imposed
upon them by section 1888 of the new
code is on their business and not
against their property, and therefore
not in contravention of the constitu-
aional provision that the property OF
corporations shall be taxed the same as
that of individuals. The state has the
right to tax foreign corporations as it
sees fit. or to absolutely exclude them
from doing business in the state. And
if any conditions imposed are not COM
piled with it may revoke the certificate
of any corporation, the only exception
to these rules being in the case of cor
porations in the employ of the federal
government, or doing strictly CONNER
cial business, either interstate or for
eign.
The theory was advanced by the
plaintiff company that foreign corpo-
rations have the same rights and
should be treated the same as non-res-
dent foreigners. The conclusion of the
court is that the tax in question vio-
lates neither the state nor the federal
constitution. The same section which
is passed upon provides for 2lh per
cent tax against the gross receipts of
companies foreign to Iowa but domes.
tic to the United States and 1 per
cent tax against home companies.

saloon and state rooms for the ships |
crew and lieutenants. Above the main |
deck is the hurricane deck, which is
composed entirely of state rooms fort
captains and officers of higher rank.
This deck has a fine, roomy promenade
extending the entire way around, and
is where / spend most of my time. Be-
low the main deck are the mess deck
and kitchens, hospital and commissary
department. The next deck below,
which is just above the water line, is
the berth deck, where the soldiers
sleep. The berths are arranged in long
sections, with aisles between, and are
built of gas pipe, with canvas stretch
ed across. They are three feet high,
and with enough space to make them
light, airy and comfortable. For hot
weather there is system of ventila-
tion pipes, through which cool, fresh
air is forced to this deck. Below this
us the hold, in which freight is stored.
In the center, and extending from the
top to the bottom of the ship, is the
engine room. The engine room can be
entered from any deck onto an iron
gallery, which gives one full view of
the machinery. The ship is equipped
with electric lights and bells, hot and
cold baths, and in fact everything for
the comfort of the passengers.
We left the dock at San Francisco,
CAL, at 4:3o p. M, Saturday, Sept. 90.
The first two days the water was very
rough, and, although have had no
personal experienced have decided that
the stories that 1 have heard about sea-
sickness were not exaggerated. About
go per cent of the men on board were
down at one time, and to see some of
the poor fellows suffer and hear them
groan WINS almost enough to make me
sick. By a great effort I fought off
that funny feeling and succeeded in
being one of very few officers who
did not get sick. But I did not get
brave enough to brag about it until /
had been assured by the captain of the
ship that, having stood it so far, I
would certainly get through all right.
Since the second day out we have had
ideal weather. The air is cool and
bracing, and after little exercise be-
fore breakfast one has a ravenous APP
petite. We are living like kings, and
only have to pay 81 per day. The fare
ever patronized. We might as we'll
live well now, for there is no telling
how soon we will have to be satisfied
with bareback.
We have been in sight of the Ha-
waiian islands since o'clock this
morning, and expect to land at Homo
lulu this evening at o'clock. We will
stop there three or four days, and am
looking forward to a good time. After
we leave there we will have a hot trip
of 1S or 20 days before we reach Ma
Mia, and suppose we will be heartily
tired of it by that time. I wish / was
able to write you a more interesting
letter, as I certainly have enough ma
terial, if had the ability. Neverthe-
less, you will hear from me often.

The broom was short and sharp on the

immediate apprehension. The wound
soon grew worse, lockjaw resulted and
