Special to Times-Republican.
Des Mcines, May 1.-The democratic
state convention to select delegates to
the national. convention at Kansas City
July 4. will be held iii this city next
Thursday. May Jerry Sullivan, OF
8Creston, will be temporary chairman.
The men mentioned FOR delegates al
large are E. 3. Evans, of Polk county;
Charles A. Walsh, of Wapello county;
Cato Sells, of Benton county: A. Van
Wagenan, Of Woodbury. county: j. NJ.
Parsons, of Lyon county; Lew Genung,
of Mills county; ii. u. Williams, of
SOsBrien county, and Lepuel r. Bolter,
of Harrisonscounty.I 1t is generally con-
coded that Mr.. Evans and Mr.. Sells
will be made delegates. MIR. Walsh may
not ask for 1t, as he is connected with
the national COMMITTEES. Judge Van
Wagenan represents the ultra silver
sentiment and his friends will insist on
his selection. Lew Genung will I'M
.doubtedly be nominated BY the demo-
Gratis of the Ninth district for congress
and may not be pushed for place on
SStS60NAO w III
probably, in addition to selecting dele
gates to the national convention, name
q new state central committee instead
of waiting for the second convention at
which the nominations for state officers
will be made. If 1t is decided to do this
at Thursdays convention there will be
a bitter fight over the representation
from the Seventh district. George Huff
man. the present chairman of the state
committee, is the member from this
district. Polk county, however. in
structed its twenty-four delegates to
the convention to work, for the selection
of Walter McHenry,- % Tes Moines, as
the member from this district. on the
other hand, Mr.. Huffman has secured
the instructions in Marion. Warren and
Madison counties with thirty-eight
delegates. 1t requires thirty-nine to
elect. Mr.. McHenry is trying to secure
Story and Dallas counties, which would
elect him over Mr.. Hoffman. This will
probably be the only strong fight made
In the convention. The convention
will endorse Bryan, but may not name
silver at 16 to I. figuring on fooling the
gold democrats into thinking they have
abandoned this principle and assuring
the silver democrats that the endorse
ment of Mr.. Bryan made the endorse
ment Of silver Unnecessary.

Mount Vernon. May. 1.-Rev. Homer
EStuntz, ID. d., who is now in Chicago
attending the general conference of the
NJ. E. church. is very prominently
spoken of as secretary of the board OF
missions OF that great church. 1t is
generally conceded that there is not a
man in the whole conference who is
more specially fitted for the work than
is DR.. Stuntz. His many years of act
iual missionary service. his scholarship.
his well-known executive ability. and
deep conservation all point to him as
being exceptionally we'll fitted for the
place. There is another Office with
which his name is frequently coupled
and that is the Office of bishop of India.
and it is argued that for this office, In.
addition to the above qualifications is
his well-knoWn familiarity with the In
dian tongues. Should he be elected to
either of these offices the people of
Mount Vernon would regret very much
to see him go while rejoicing with him
in his opportunity for greater useful
ness.

And the wind is signing the whole day long,

A hard bed appears to be the best,
and it is laid down that children from
the earliest years should be trained to
sleep on these hard beds. Soft beds
are too warm and do not admit sutii-

bed the sleeper is warned to see that
his covering, whether woolen or cotton,
is not so heavy that the body Is kept
overwarm and fresh air is excluded.

Past and Present.
Sing ho, for the days Of old,
When robbers bold and free
In the forest deep did vigil keep
Under the greenwood ''s''
They cared not for law nor rule;
Might was the law they knew, x,
And robbed at viii Ger dale and mill
And spared when they pleased, or slew.
Nor made they specious plea
For the lusty trade they piled,
But free and bold in quest Of gold
They robbed, lived and died
And think not, though times have changed,
That no highwayman have we;
They're with us still and work their will,
But they move in "society."
Not paltry purse they snatch;
They are bolder now by far.
From the peoples feet they steal street
And ride In palace car.
II you walk or ride or Hy,
You tribute in full must pay,
Fer what you need they'll make you bleed;
They rob in a modern way.
II robbers you dared them name.
They'd give you scornful glance
And let you know, with naughty bow.
They were ''masters OF finance"
Then, ho. for the thieves Of old,
Who posed not as "hnanciers,"
But, rough and rude in the shady wood,
Mocked at the travellers fears!
