pointed by the Ottumwa Trades
and Labor Assembly, in whose

recommends that the affair take the
form OF celebration rather than a
picnic, but that is left to the Trades

decided to hold celebration, the ath-
letic part of the program will be held

but one of the main things is to Sc
cure a harmonious delegation which
can best be done by doing a little
work outside of public meeting
among them. Democrats who favor
the nomination of some man other
than. Mr.. Steck say they have card
up their sleeve which they will play
Wien the right time comes, but what
this card is they refuse to say. In
reply the Steck men claim that since
the withdrawal of w. A..
McIntire from Z the race the
sentiment among democrats
all over the district is such that moth
ing can wrest the nomination from
their fayorite. So the situation re-
mains But knowing ones say that if
Mr.. Steck does not develop a great
amount of strength on the start he will
have few whitecaps on the political
sea as applied to the congressional
nomination.

For An Editor to Recommend Patent
Medicines?
From Sylvan Valley News, Breyard,
m. c.:
1t may be question whether the
editor Of newspaper has the right to
publicly recommend any of the various
proprietary medicines which flood the
market, yet as preventive of suffer-
ing we feel it a duty to say good word
for Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy. We have known
and used this medicine in our family
for twenty years and have always
found it reliable. In many cases a
dose Of this remedy would save hours
of suffering while physician is await
ed. We do not believe in depending
implicitly on any medicine for cure,
but we do believe that if bottle of
Chamberlain's Diarrhoea Remedy were
kept on hand and administered at the
inception of an attack much suffering
might be avoided and in very many cas-
es the presence of a physician would
not be required. At least this has been
our experience during the past twenty
years. For sale by druggists.

ask of him is common courtesy while
the Grand Army is in the city. AS to
Mr.. Bryan, he does not belong to the
G.. A. R., and therefore could make no
demand for an invitation that he lis
not entitled to. President Mckinley,

OBITUARY.
Alfred William Lee.


Died Sunday July 20, at 6:35
o'clock a. M, OF appendicitis, Alfred
William Lee, aged 8 years, ! month
and 16 days. Deceased was the only
living son of Alfred w. and Mary l.
Lee.
Little Alfred, as he was Familiarity
known, was taken 81 tx about p. m.
Thursday. Friday night his symptoms
became alarming and on Saturday
morning critical All that medical
science and surgical skill could do
was done to stay the ravages, of the
dread disease, but without avail and
in the radiant sunlight of the early
Sabbath morning the pure soul of this
beautiful boy took it's flight from earth
to heaven.
Little Alfred was member of the
Presbyterian Sabbath school, and at
tended the Adams day school.
To those who came Familiarity in
contact with him, he evidenced I'M
usual maturity and ability in thought
and experience. His knowledge of the
Scriptures and the aptitude he dis
played in the appreciation OF religious
truth marked him as child of unusual
spiritual sensibility. With purity
and discretion beyond his years he
had made a deep impression upon
those who had to do with his training,
and the expression of his thoughts up
on topics tina. lie deeper than the com
mon level of life remain as precious
tokens of a young life already prepar-
ed for better world, and broader
sphere of existence.
The sudden death of this bright and
promising lad falls with crushing
weight on loving parents, who thus in
almost the twinkling of an eye see
shattered the fondest earthly hopes
and expectations. The deeply afflicted
household have the sympathy of a
wide circle of friends. To the parents
the affiiction is all the more severe in
that another son died in infancy ten
years ago. Yet in such sore affiction
is it possible to realize with submits
sion the experience of ancient days,
yet the experience ever fresh and new
in lifes dark hours, 1.-THE Lord gave,

STICK WILL ACCEPT.
Sixth District Democratic COMPRESSION.
al Politics.

( az F0btSiSosf --t
1t was learned today from an almost
.unquestionably authentic source that
A. c, Steck will accept the congress
sional nomination on the democratic
ticket if it is rendered him, and ac-
cording to adyices received by prom
inent democrat from a number of
counties in this district. Mr.. Steck will
be the nominee. Since the positive
declination Of Hon. w. A. McIntire to
accept the nomination, the logical can
didate has always been Mr.. Steck, wht
was a factor in the matter even while
Mr.. McIntire was being considered. A
prominent democrat, who stands well
in the councils of the party, gave it to
a reporter today that the statements
Just made about Mr.. Steck accepting
and the likelihood Of his being nomi-
mated, are strictly true.
