Dolliver is Grateful For His
Appointment as Senator.
WILL ASK AN ELECTION.
He Will Be Candidate Before the
Legislature for Election to the Of
fice-Nothing Known as to Dolli-
ver's Successor.

Des Moines, Aug. 24.-Jonathan p.
Dolliver was in town yesterday to re-
ceive his commission as United States
senator. He was on his way to Fort
Dodge from Allerton, where he spoke
Wednesday night. He did not learn
OF his appointment as senator until the
train had nearly reached Des Moines.
After he had visited the governors
Office and personally expressed to
Governor Shaw his gratitude for the
appointment he gave out the follow
ing statement:
Il feel very grateful to Governor
Shaw for the confidence which he has
reposed in me. / have known from
the beginning that he had my name
under consideration. do not think
anyone can doubt that he has given
conscientious attention to the difficult
problem which has been in his hands,
and it requires no special knowledge
of our state politics to see that in the
action which he has taken his own in
terests have been entirely subordin-
ated.
Il regard it as a great honor that
Governor Shaw has chosen me among
the many older ones and more expe-
rienced public men of the state as the
successor of Senator Gear. 1t is my
intention to accept the appointment,
resign my seat in the house, decline
the nomination unanimously tender
ed me on the Sth of May for the fifty
90 NJ rl-
cans of Iowa to ratify Governor
Shaw's action when the legislature
meets. The kindness and good will
which have for SO many years been
extended to me by the people of Iowa
will not, l feel sure, be withdrawn
from me under these circumstances.
In entering upon the office of Unit
ed States senator will have only one
ambition, and that is to represent the
whole state, and so far as it's duties
relate to party matters, the whole re-
publican party
Mr.. Dolliver declined to express any
opinion as to who would be his sue
cessor in the house, but he said that
the only regret he had in leaving the
house was in parting from the people
of the tenth congressional district
"They have BEEN" said he, my
friends almost without dissenting
voice for nearly fifteen years. l do
not believe that there has ever been a
constituency more faithful to its repre-
sentative than the big tenth has been
to me during that long period, and |
leave their service with my heart full
OF gratitude to all its people, and.most
of ali, to Governor Shaw, who helped
me in my first nomination to congress,
and who has been my friend ever
since, helpful in counsel and active in
all kindly Offices

The news of the transfer of the To-

will be learned with regret by many
people in this city. Mr.. Romes, the
chief dispatcher has been in Ottumwa
in this capacity with the Milwaukee

he made large number of personal
and business friends whom he dislikas
to leave, and who will part with him
with regrets equally as great Mr..
Romes has served in his present ca.
pacity in the offices of the Milwaukee

Mo-, and after an exceedingly success
full term here will now enter upon his
duties at the fourth principle division
point of this road. Messrs. LOOMS,
Anderson and Schick are men of fam
lilies, and should their transfer to Mar

will mean the ultimate removal of
three of Ottumwa's esteemed fami-
lies. Mr.. LOOMS has been in the en-
ploy of the Milwaukee at the junction
station for the past twelve years.
Both Mr.. Anderson and Mr.. Schick
have also served long terms, and
their removal, If permanent, will be
greatly regretted.

BLIND PIG RAIDED.
Father of a Boy Orator May Be LA
BILE for Contempt of Court.


Clarion, Aug. 24.-An old creamery
building belonging to j. ID. Denison,
ST., was raided Tuesday morning and
barrel of bottled goods, supposed to
be beer, was seized and locked up in
the county jail 1t had been an open
secret for months past that beer was
being sold at this place, but those in
terested were unable to collect infor-'
nation sufficient to warrant them in
having the accused arrested, altho an
injunction had been secured against
him restraining him from selling in
toXicants. If the stuff seized proves
to be of an intoxicating nature, Deni-
son will no doubt be brought before
the judge who issued the injunction
and punished for contempt of court.
Mr.. Denison is well-known farmer
and silver politician. His son, j. D.
Denison, Jr., was temporary chairman
of the democratic state convention at
Cedar Rapids last week, and is now
attending the annual meeting of the
American Patriots at Riverton. The
trial will be postponed until his re-

OLD MAN WINS.
sharkey Proves An Easy Mark for
Fitzsimmons.

FItZSiHlfHOfS.
New York, Aug. 25.-Whipped into
insensibility in less than two rounds
is the story in brief of Tom Sharkey's
meeting with Bob Fitzsimmons at the
Coney Island Sporting club last night.
The result of last nights battle proved
that Fitzsimmons is still great fight
er, and able to beat the best of the
heavy-weights. He has beaten Cor
bett, Rubin and Sharkey. Fitzsim-
mons was the decided favorite in the
betting, owing to his showing with
Rubin short time ago. When the
men met last night both declared
themselves in first-class condition and
they certainly looked it.
Sharkey assumed the aggressive,
rushing flercely and swinging wildly,
and Fitzsimmons had no difficulty in
side stepping out of the way. Bob
soon began feinting Sharkey into leads
and when the sailor tried the round
arm blows he left himself open, con-
dition Fitzsimmons was quick to take
advantage of,stepping inside and plant
ing powerful right and left blows on
the sailors body and neck He stab
bed Sharkey with his left, ruffiing the
sailors temper, who then rushed more
wildly than before, missing most Of
his swings, while Fitzsimmons was
getting to him with great force with
both hands.
At the close of the round Sharkey,
with terrific left swing which landed
on the shoulder and neck, put Fitz-
simmons to the floor. Tom fell over
him in his mad rush. Tom regained
his feet quickly but the bell rang with
Fitzsimmons still on the floor. The
spectators were cheering like wild men
and when Fitzsimmons got to his feet
the men shaped to go for each other,
evidently not having heard the bell
amid the uproar.
The referee rushed between them,
sending them to their corners and this
is where Sharkey says he might have
finished Fitz had he had ten seconds
more time.
In the second round Sharkey, having
gained confidence from his knocking
uOWu III IhS VI
round, went for his man as if to an
initiate him but Fitzsimmons out
generated the younger man and step
ped in with a crushing right to the
body and left to the jaw, while the
best Sharkey could do was to swing
the left which landed in the middle OF
Fits back. There was fearful force
behind the blow, as Fitzsimmons said
after the fight was over, that he felt
as if he had been hit with pickaxe
in the small of the back.
Fitzsimmons' GOODNESS never forsook
him, and he stepped inside Sharkey' s
wild gestures and literally battered
SAarkey down with right on the
body and lefts and rights on head
Sharkey took the count and came UP
groggy. He staggered back to the
ropes, with Fitzsimmons hot after
him. Sharkey was then unable to pro
tect' himself, and Fitzsimmons sent a
fearful right and left to the body and
Sharkey wabbled, but still had
strength enough to keep on his feet
Fitzsimmons stepped in again with an
other right on body, following twice
with rights and lefts on head, and fin
ished his work with a stinging left
hook on the jaw, which sent Sharkey
down and out

+; Rheumatic pains are the cries of protest
and distress from tortured muscles, aching
joints and excited nerves. The blood has
been poisoned by the accumulation of
waste matter in the system, and can no

Iroops Will Stay at Akron.

Cleveland, Ohio, Aug. Ex-Governor
Nash fears there may be more rioting
at Akron. For that reason troops will
be held there until Monday at least.

seems to be directed especially against
the city officials, said the governor

element fully realizes that the negro
was taken into the city and sentenced
and then taken away again without
their knowing anything about the mat
ter, trouble may arise again. The state
will protect life and property as long
as necessary" Speaking concerning
the punishment of the rioters Govern
or Nash said the state officials will
take no hand in the prosecution.
