lobby of the Savery House last night,
and 1T attracted great deal of atten-
ton and excitement. c. w. Johnston,
Des Moinesslawye and Gear man, ex-
pressed a desire to bet few on Bowen.
Carroll Wright came along and declined
to take advantage of the odds of 500 to
$50 that Mr.. Johnston offered and put
up his money even, first s100 and then
another 500. Then Mr.. Jollston got an
other s10O bel, giving the odds he first Of
fered, with man named Brenton, from
Dallas county. Mr.. Johnston having
run out of cash in hand, let w. j. Hola-
han of Mason City in as a partner in
this bet. MIR. Johnston was still willing
to get and put up more money, but
found no takers. Frank w. Simmons of
Ottumwa went on the floor and offered
to bet any amount UP to $500 on Bowen,
buk got no takers j. G. Palmer of
Rockwell City bet $50 on Bowen with
r. j. Walsh, and there We're number
of smaller bets.
Hon. ID. K. Harbert, of Benton coun-
ty after several days spent in care
fully looking over the situation, au-
thorizes the statement that he is for
ion loyal support of Gear requires him
to vote and work for the success of
DIR. Bowen for speaker He is enthusi-
astic and full of confidence that the
doctor will surely win and that he will
make an excellent speaker In talking
with a correspondent Mr.. Harbert said
that he believed his final decision was
the most feasible for his county as it
was most in accordance with his own
convictions. There are Cummins men
in his county, but the majority senti-
ment is probably, he thinks, in favor of
Senator Gear as between Gear and
Cummins. Many members have hest
tated to announce themselves because
some of their warinest supporters may
be Cummins men or at least opposed to
Gear but the members who have
bravely announced their choice made
according to their best Judgment, have
had the least trouble in satisfying their
constituents.
The most sensational development of
the day was the rumor that a third
candidate for senator might be sprung.
The name suggested is that of Gov
ernor Shaw. He has been approached
several times since the election with
the request for permission to use his
name. but has declined. He insists he
will not allow himself to be drawn into
the contest. He has not taken part in
| it, but is for Senator Gear.
| 1t has been expected that if his name
was entered i'll the lists it would come
from the Fifth district. because that
district is especially friendly to him
and because of the feeling that was
supposed to exist there owing to the
defeat of Judge Burnham of Vinton in
the last state convention. The PROPOSE
| ton was made To Fifth district men
Hate last night from the Cummins side
and rejected.
The Cummins men denied that they
intended to withdraw Mr.. Cummins Il
promote the candidacy of Governor
Shaw Last night one Of that factor
said he had heard the Gear people We're
going to make such a move. There i:
no evidence of such being the fact. ane
1 ii is considered most unlikely, for the
Gear people have been we'll satisfied
to have the contest limited to Messrs
! Gear and Cummins.

Lisbon, Jan. Ga semi official notice
given to the press today is as follows:
THE British and German governments
having previously reached an agree
ment between themselves, informed
Portugal that in the event of her con-
tracing a large loan for the purpose of
recognizing her finances, the two gov
ernments were disposed to guarantee
the success of the operation. At the
same time the governments of Great
Britain and Germany assured Portugal
that the basis of agreement between
them was recognition of the integrity of
the Portuguese colonial dominions ard
the legitimacy of Portuguese sovereign
ty over Portuguese possessions. They
further suggested that in the event of
Portugal accepting the proposal con-
cerning the loan the latter should be
guaranteed by colonial customs re-
ceipts. The Portuguese government
then declared it had no need of such a
loan and, according to our Information,
has no such need to the present day.

A WHALEBONE ARBOR.

Capt. John II. DevereauX has refusel cash offer of $SCO for the jawbone of a whale which was killed in the har- hCI here about fourteen years ago.
 The jaws measure twelve fett each. and just now they are used as a grand entrance to a summer house on SulI- vans island made entirely f the bones from tha whale. The house is preu.ily arranged and the vines which cover it give it a most handsome appearance Tea was served in this little house the other afternoon, anI the fact was then brought out that Capt. D. vereauX had just refused the offer for the bones.
 The whale was considered the largest of the kind that ever drifted to south ern waters.
 Capt. D-vereauX IS the supervising architect for the government at CharlestOwn and it was his idea to build the house with the most artistic ef- feet. Back of the main entrance the ribs have been put up as covering and a support for the vines, and the large bone of the whales tail is used now as the throne seat in the arbor.

HATS IN CHURCH.

Father Quinn of Buffalo has taken bold stand against what many have thought to be a desirable custom. He announces that her after the presence of women with bare hads WI not be tolerated in the church, whether they are there for the purpose of attendinc services or weddings. He declares that the taking off of hats and b1nnets Is Gisrespectful 70 God. This is a. curious attitude, because the wearing of his hat by a man would be considered as the worst kind of an affrOnt and would be punished by the instant ejectiOn of the offender. In an impartial view il is hard to see how the woman Offends any more in rhe removal If her hat than q man offenGs in the removal of his. In Jewish synagOguss it is customary for men to keep their hats on, and fIr one to break this rule would be 10 ndcr himself at least conspicuous. bu, in Christian churches it has been the rule for centuries to show reverence for the place and its. functions by uncov ring. However, it is quite likely tha, the or der of the clergyman will be secretly pleasing to many of the women in his congregation. because thsy can hence forth display such millinery as they like in the view of the envious sisters with out suffering from the charge that they are trying to show off.-BrOlklyn Ea- oln
