1t is too bad that Bryan should have
done anything real sensible like writ
ing that speech. He should have
dynamited the capitol, or assasslnated
the president. He has done one des-
perate deed, however. be has struck a
blow that will nearly kill Mckinley.

If reports be true there are come
traitors ill the camp in Maryland The
American gleefully publishes tue fol-
lowing as vOiciug Il sentiment about
Baltimore. Ii this be true the real
Democrats should give this person aud
those for whom he speaks kick down
the front stairs. Such ''stalwart Dem
ocrats" as this one in this quarter have
the honesty to be a R-pubilcans:
"In conversation with an American
representative few days ago one of
the most stall wart Democrats III Mary
land expressed himself in this manner:
sly GU know there is absolutely no
free silver sentiment in Maryland Our
people simply won't stand for it, and
it is useless to conceal that fact. This
leads to general feeling of resentment
at Bryan domination On silver plat
form, and I'll tell you frankly that the
majority of US don't Care what be-
comes of him. We are going to put up
fight, but it will be a rather weak
Ole, and we will exert our efforts prin-
cipally in the direction of electIng our
candidates for Congress and maintain
our claim to party regularity"
The above gentleman and the Italian
who recently shot Humbert would
make strong team.
One of the greatest Republican
trusts and adjuncts is the Associated
Press. 1t Is not generally known, but
this combination invariably garbles
all Democratic news. or misrepresents
important Democratic events, while
on the other hand any Republican
news is spread with sance on it. 1t
is the most partisan of all combina-
lions and shows more favors to the
Republican party than any other or.
gauizatlon Of news gatherers, or news
spreaders, the Western Union Tele
graph Co. not excepted. In many
cares its statements OF Democratic oc
currences or things tending to injure
the Democratic party are untrue.

Mrs. Margaret p. Hicks, wife Of W.

of injuries sustained by falling On a

In her claim, which was filed few

walk on the northwest side of North
Court street, at a point about 125 Feet
north of the north line of Sixth street,
she was tripped and thrown violently
to the sidewalk, by the top of a water

The closing session of the sixth an

Iowa Teachers association was held
at the assembly room of the high
school this morning. The three days
convention just ended has been one of
the most successful both in point of
number in attendance and in the ex-
cellency of its program. There were
over 600 teachers present, and during
their sojourn in Ottumwa, every effort
was put forth to entertain the visitors
both at the sessions of the convention
and in the homes or hotels where they
We're stopping. Just how well Ottum-
wa has succeeded in the undertaking
may be determined by the resolutions
adopted at the close of the convention.
The program committee and the retir-
ing officers of the association are also
entitled to much praise for the sue
cess which has attended the meeting
| turnout.
AT the closing session this morning
the most important business transact
ed was the adoption of a motion to
amend the constitution increasing the
! membership fee from 25 to SO cents
| per annnm, the proceeds to be devoted
to the purpose of securing high grade
talent as lecturers, at future meetings.

the next meeting was left in the hands

CHANGE IN BENEFICIAnY.
A. o. U. w. Committee Recommends
Change In Laws Of the Order.
O.

from saturdays DAILY.
J. "A. Ballard returned last evening
from Des Moines where he attended
meeting of the committee appointed
by the A. o. U. w. grand lodge for
the purpose of revising the constituv
rion and bylaws of the order. Among
other important changes, persons en-
ployed in powder mills, switchmen,
and those engaged in other hazardous
occupations are excluded from mem
bership. A change was made in the
payment of per capita tax of new
lodges and the payment of that tax
for the firs1 quarter after the institu-
ton of the lodge has been recommends
ed omitted. 1t has been decided by
the attorneys for the order that the
affianced wife of a member cannot be
made a beneficiary, and rule has been
recommended prohibiting it. 1t was
also recommended than the grand
lodge incorporate into the rules of the
order that the finance committee, in
whom lies the power of levying as
sessments, be given authority to call
an assessment when the amount in the
treasury falls below $4,000. Hereto
| fore il $4,000 was in the treasury no
| assessment could be levied. This is
quite radical change but the inn
mense growth of the order demanded
| that the old rule be changed.
| A full attendance of the committee
was had and twelve states were repre-
scented. Mr.. Ballard thinks that if the
rules formulated by the committee are
adopted by the grand lodge at its
meeting in Creston, that they will be
the most complete of any in this coun-
ty.s
j. A. Ballard, Richard BzSwnx Andy
Pitts, George Ferguson and j. u. Rob-
inson are the delegates selected to at

the former being a member of that boz
idy by virtue OF his position.

Ottumwa people have vivid recollec-
tions of floating army, commanded
by certain Kelly, passing thru the
city a few years ago. There was gen.
tleman in town who had a peculiar
intimacy with the leaders and history
of that movement. Superintendent
d. r. Michner, of Charlton, was here at
tending the teachers convention and
talked in a reminiscent mood to Cou-
rier reporter concerning his expert
ences in that army as reporter for
the Des Moines News thruout the
voyage from Des Moines to Hanni-
bal, Mo. During part of the trip he
represented some other Des Moines pa
pers, New York paper and the United
press. He now recalls many expert
ences amusing and otherwise. He re-
members with special vividness day
above Eddyville when commissary
stores were non est and he passed the
day on greatly reduced rations. 1t
was about this time that an Irishman
ran his war vessel amuck on shoal
of sand and needing assistance asked
how many were in the boat near by.
Three" was the answer. .'Well,,''

Mr.. Michner was author of the reso-
luton published thruour the army to
the effect that any man falling over
board should first lay out his tobacco.
