oTTuMwANs IN THE STORM.
Mr.. and Mrs. T. A. PaIIister Returned
Home Today-Story of the VOYAGE.

Mr. and Mrs. T. A. Pallister re-
turned this morning on Burlington
No. 8, from an extended soiourn III
Europe. They made the return voy-
age on the Servia of the Cunard line,
and were in the wake of the Ocean
tornado which swept the country last
week with such dreadful fatality.
Mr.. Pallister said this morning that
no person can describe the storm.
He thought every minute that the
Servia would go to the bottom of the
sea, and even the old seamen who
have braved the storms of the ocean
for years were made sick by the fear
full rolling and tossing of the vessel.
The mountainous waves rolled over
the ship, and the water pouring dowa
the tunnels extinguished the fires un.
der the ships boilers. For three
hours the Servia rolled and tossed
in mid-ocean entirely beyond the coz
troll of the crew They were about
400 miles from New York when the
storm struck them in it's fury. Men
prayed, women tainted and everybody
on deck felt that their time had come
ito die. After the storm had abated
somewhat, about fifty persons were
admitted on deck, when, suddenly q
tardy wave swept over the deck
sweeping every one of the half-hun-
bred down, and it was only a miracle
that they were not washed into the

Socialist Leader Makes Address There
Last Evening.
Abba, Sept. l4.-(Special.)- Eugene
v. Debs. social democratic candidate
for president, spoke to large audi
ence in the court house park last even
ing at 1880 o'clock. A great number
of people, largely miners, came in
from the mining towns of Hiteman,
Hooking, Avery, Smoky Hollow and
Coalfeld. The Avery band came up
in their band wagon and aroused much
enthusiasm by their playing. Dr.Nel-
son introduced the speaker, who was
heartily cheered by the audience on
his appearance. He confined himself
wholly to discussion of the labor
question reviewing the revolution in
labor by the introduction of machin-
cry and stating that the producing ca
pacity of each man had so immensely
outgrown his consuming capacity that
over-production was the consequence,
hence the disturbances in our econom-
ic system. He designated the labor
ing man as the economic slave of the
capitalist, his economic master and
absolutely at his control even to the
casting of his ballot. He advocated
as remedy the government owner
ship and control of railways, tele-
graphs, ETC., and that the whole people
in community of interest own and
control the wealth of the country to
the use and benefit of each and all
alike. He predicted the triumph of
socialism in the course of a few years
and urged each member of that party
to work and hope for it's success.

ISSUES A PROCLAMATION.
Roberts Points Out the UseIessness of
the Roer Struuale.

London, Sept. 14.-Roberts tele-
graphs the war Office from Machado-
dorp that he has circulated a procla-
nation reciting the fact of Kruger's
flight to Lorenzo Marques, saying
that Kruger's desertion of the Boer
cause should make clear to the Bur
ghers that it is useless to continue
the struggle; that nearly $4,000 Beers
are now prisoner of war, not one of
whom will be released until those
now under arms against Great
Britain surrender Internationally.
The proclamation points out that
with the exception of small area
which General Botha is defending, the
war has generated into irregular oper-
ations which must be brought to an
early conclusion and concludes: THE
means am compelled to adopt are
those which the customs of war pre-
scribe as applicable in such cases.
They are ruinous to the country and
entail endless suffering to the Bur-
ghers and their families. and the long
er this guerilla warfare continues, the
more vigorously must they be en-
forced"

OUTLOOK IN THE SECOND.
Democrats Working Hard to Garry
District for VoIlmer.

Des Moines, Sept. 14.-(Special.)-
The following is copy of letter
received by a gentleman in Des
Moines from a friend living in Scott
county. The letter gives some inter-
esting points concerning the condition
of affairs in the second district, and
shows not only that the democrats
are putting up strong organization
in that district, but, also that they are
figuring very largely on defeating the
republicans thru the agency of the
stay-at-home votes. 1t also indicates
that there is harmony over the
democratic county ticket in Scott
county, and that their workers in the
county precincts, in their efforts to
save the county ticket. will urge ,ev-
cry one to vote for Mr.. Vollmer, no
| matter how he stands on the money
question. The statement in the letter
that the writer doesn't believe that
over rs per cent Of the republican
vote will be polled, is in line with
the claims that are being made by
the democratic state central commit
tee, and clearly shows that the demo
Gratis expect to win solely thru the
apathy of the republicans. The letter
| is as follows:
LIE Claire, Iowa, Sept. s, 1900.

of the county that will vote. The

APPLAUD THE LAW.
New York Legislature AboIishes, the
Trading Stamp.

iIduItlS StoIuHs
An exchange in commenting on the
action of the New York legislature in
regard to abolishing the trading stamp
or similar devices says:
every thoughtful storekeeper will
applaud the law which became opera
alive September l. making it misde-
meanor to issue trading stamps or
similar devices in New York state. AS
this paper has steadfastly and vigor-
ously contended, trading stamps are
wrong in principle and mischievous in
practice. They belong to class of
gift enterprise schemes that lower
the dignity Of honest trading and slim
.ulate business artificially and I'M
wholesomely. When the bits of num-
bered paper were first distributed I'M
thinking buyers eagerly scrambled for
them, happy in the belief that they
were getting something for nothing. A
modicum of reflection, however, show
ed the hollowness of the plan, and it
is safe to say that trading stamps now
are discredited among intelligent PEG.
pie everywhere. Surely there are
enough legitimate channels thru which
enterprise may. expand itself to pre-,
ade the need of resorting to clap
trap. Goods that are worth the price
asked for them constitute the only de-
.pendable passport to public favor,
Premiums and trading stamps are adj
.ventitious and ephemeral aids"

USING UNFAIR METHODS.
Democrats Quote at Length From a
Des Moines Newspaper.

Des Moines, Sept. 14.-(Special. y
The Democratic Literary Bureau ap-
pears to be pretty thoroly organized
as the columns of some of the
democratic papers in the state bear
witness. The first production eminat-
ing from this bureau was lurid ar
ticle on the ''of1icial Republican or
gan" of Iowa, The Des Moines Globe.
The stand which this organ" has
taken favorable to the establishment
of a monarchy in the United States,
is being worked to the extent of a
two column story with large black let
ter "scare heads" These articles
have appeared in several of the demo-
cratic newspapers in the smaller coun-
ties in the northern part of the state,
where it is fondly hoped that the
truth of the matter will not be able
to overtake the lie until it has had
it's desired effect upon the voters.
Every one who knows the situation,
takes this official Republican organ"
as huge joke and, Mr.. Chavannes,
himself, has given the republican pap
ers signed statement to the effect

that he was an ardent supporter of
Bryan four years ago. The efforts of
the democratic bureau in literary
line have not thus far been very
brilliant success. Chairman Huffman
should see to it that his literary aid
takes some more important topic
next time.
The democrats of the third congress
sional district are evidently arranging
to make Speaker Henderson's re-elec-
ton as nearly unanimous as possible.
They have nominated. as candidate
against him, young lawyer of Water
loo, who has just begun practice
there, and is practically unknown to
large majority of the people of the
district. OF course, the fact of his
youth and obscurity is his misfortune
rather than his fault. There are,
however, a few things connected with
his brief political career that cannot
be charged up as a misfortune"
He came of republican parentage and
four years ago, while residing in
Grundy county, he was a candidate be-
fore the republican county convention
for the nomination for county attor-
ney. He failed to secure the coveted
position, however, and short time
afterwards, he announced his con-
version to Organism and stumped the
county for free silver. Since his
nomination the republicans of the
third district have revised their fig
ures, and are now claiming $4,000 ma
jority for Speaker Henderson instead
of 10000 as the figures stood earlier
in the campaign. 1t is undoubtedly
true that the larger majority of the
democrats of the third district fav-
ored the nomination of Mr.. Sullivan,
of Waterloo, but he is a gold demo-
crat, and Manager Murphy, of Du-
buque, who regulates democratic po-
litical affairs in that district, early
took occasion to put his foot upon Mr..
Sullivan's ASPIRATIONS and there was,
consequently, no show for his nominal
ton.

GUN CLUB TOURNAMENT.
Local Marksmen Arrange for Shoot
Next Month.

From Thursdays Daily.
Last evening at Wheeler's bicycle
store, a meeting of the Ottumwa Gun
club was held for the purpose of max
ing arrangements for tournament to
be held next month. The dates were
set for Oct. 10, IL and IL. Inanimate
targets and live birds will both be
used each day, the program to consist
of targets during the morning, live
birds before and after dinner, and tar
gets again in the afternoon. This will
give all chance to shoot both live
birds and targets on the same day.
The shoot will be held at the Ath-
letic park Arrangements will be
made so that lunch will be served on
the grounds, so there will be no stop
for dinner, but the shooting will con-
tinue all day. The fact that this is
to be wholly amateur event, com
bined with the fact that a comparative
few tournaments are being held in
this vicinity this year, make it proba

sea. Mr.. Pallister was just in the
act of stepping onto the deck with q
view of getting a snap shot of the
sea with kodak. The water struck
him and he fell, rather than stepped
back into the shelter. He escaped
with slight drenching, but one of
the number who was on deck was so
severely injured that the vessels sur
geons were compelled to work with
him for several hours before he could
be revived.
Mr.. Pallister said that when he
landed in New York that he was SO
glad to get onto land that he could
have wept for JOY. The excitement
caused by the storm had not worn
off, and he says that if he should live
to be 100 years old, he never can for
get it.
With the exception of the awful
storm on the return voyage, Mr. and
Mrs. Pallister had a most pleasant
trip. They visited England, France,
Switzerland, Germany, Holland and
Scotland. They spent some time in
Paris and at the exposition. The lat
ter, Mr. Pallister says, is no COMPARE
son to the Worlds Fair at Chicago,
and to people who saw the latter, the
| former had no attraction. There are
plenty of displays at Paris, but there
appears to be no management to the
exposition
From Paris, Mr.. and Mrs. Pallister
went to Geneva, Switzerland The
visit to the mountains and this pic
turesque country was one of the most
delightful side trips of the journey.

UNIQUE CAMPAIGN PLAN.
Letter Of Acceptance of Kansas City
Nominee Will Be Made Public Sept.
1e-It Contains 1000 Words-silver
Sighted.

Chicago, Sept. 14.-Republican man
ayers are planning to put Senator
Dolliver of Iowa on William Bryan's
trail and to have the senator make
a speech wherever the democratic
nominee delivers a formal address.
This is similar to the democratic
scheme of selecting Charles A. Towne
to shadow Governor Roosevelt in his
western speechmaking tour. Senator
Dolliver will make about twelve
speeches in the principal cities Wis
tied by Mr.. Bryan, and his mission
will be to overthrow the arguments
scattered by the champion of anti
imperialism.
When Dolliver was appointed sen
ator it was expected that Cummins
of Iowa, his rival, would contest his
election by the legislature next win
ter, and it was Delivers wish to be
permitted to spend all his time in his

Now that Cummins has withdrawn,
however, Senator Dolliver is able to

So while Towne is trailing Roosevelt,
Dolliver will dog the footsteps of
Bryan. 1t is unique feature of the

the matter by the fact that both Dol
liver and Towne are defeated candi-
dates for vice president. and are sure
to take a prominent part in political
events four years hence.

day and gave it to Willis J. Abbot,
just before he-Mr. Bryan-took the
train for Fl. Wayne.
There are 1000 words in the letter
which is said to be principally on
the trust question. President Nc.
kinley's letter is answered in an in.
direct way. Colonel Bryan does not
refer to the president as his ''loath.
some contemporary" but the demo
Gratis who have glanced over the
epistle say there is no doubt as to
whom he means in his discussion OF
the Philippine question. Just what
Bryan has written about the "immedi

body dares to guess. The prediction
Is made, however. that Is to l gets
