The grand promoter expected it. For
the past week he had observed many
signs that his landlady had lost con-
fidence in him and was working up her
nerve to present him bill His cheer
fulness at the dinner table almost bor-
dered on hilarity, and as he left the
table he executed a flank movement
by saying:
my dear woman, If it is not asking
too much, wish you would hand nae
my account this evening. l don't want
to occupy your valuable time nor put
you to any extra trouble, but it seems
to me that we ought to have settle
ment without further delay"
He hadn't been in his room two min
utes when the landlady followed. She
had the bill in her hand and the light
Of anticipation in her eyes.
"Ahv' said the major as he took the
bill from her hand. Nothing like
promptness in business affairs. Let
me see. The bill itself is made out in

THE ARcHBlsHoP's EYES.
Mgr. keane Is Said to Be on the Verge
of Blindness.

Dubuque, Aug. 22.-Archbishop
Keane, who was recently chosen head
of the archdiocese of Dubuque, was in
Germany at the latest advices, but he
expects TO return about September l.,
with tue official brief of his appoint
ment. Ii is understood that nothing
will be done in the matter of dividing
the see of Dubuque until after his in
stallation there, when the indications
are that Pope Leo will establish anoth-
er suffragan bishropic at Sioux City,
SO Cardinal Satolli, acting project of
the propaganda, states in letter re-
Gently received, which also conveys
assurances of his hearty esteem and
good will toward DR.. Keane.
1t is not generally known that while
the archbishop continues in the best
Of health, yet his eyes cause him con-
siderable anxiety at times, which was
one of his reasons for going abroad
this summer to consult famous ocu-
lists in Belgium ami Germany. During
his incumbencv RS bishop of Rich
nlond. Va, from 1878 to 1888, he was
threatened with blindness, but regain
ed comparatively good vision until a
recent date. 1t seems, however, that
the old trouble has returned, which
accounts for his prolonged absence IN
Europe. Tie archdiocese of Dubuque
has been vacant six months and ex-
tcnsive preparations are under way
for his reception there in September.

A CHASTITY Find.

Fort Dodge, Aug. PA CHASTITY find
was made in clump of tall weeds on
the Des Moines river bank Sunday af-
ternoon at 4 o'clock. Some small boys
who had penetrated the thicket in
search of wild grapes, discovered the
nude body of woman and by her side
newly born infant, dead and in pro-
cess of decomposition. The woman
was taken to the city hospital by the
police, where she now lies in a criti-
cal condition. She announces her
name as Mrs. Mcintyre, nee Moody,
and her former home at Kalo. She
had been lying in the boiling sun since
last Thursday, when the infant was
born. The child was illegitimate, as
her husband has been in the west for
q number of years. Mrs. Mcintyre
was a former inmate of independence
asylum and was discharged from there
last October as cured. 1t is limited
that the infant was strangled.

UNDER THE CAR: WHEELS.
Roy A. Neuse Ground to Pieces by a
Rock Island Train at CentervjIIe.

Centerville. Aug. Mangled and
bruised beyond recognition, with both
feet severed from the legs, the blood
smeared and lifeless body of Roy A.
Neuse, the second son of Mrs Emma
w. ,Goss, was found lying on his back
in the center of the Rock Island track
one-fourth mile west of the Charlton

cred by Conductor Mcclure and crew,
who lifteu the corpse from the track
and placed it in the company's right
of-way.
Neuse left home on Saturday night
in company with Claude Wilkes and
young Jester, taking night freight
train for Eldon, where they intended
to spend Sunday morning, returning
for Sundays ball game. The three
boys were put off a freight three miles
east of Drakeville on their return
They walked into Drakeville and in an
attempt to board a west-bound train
were kept off by the crew. Roy, how,
ever, succeeded in catching the third

BIENNIAL ELECTIONS.
They Will Be Opposed by the Demo-
Gratis in Iowa.

Des Moines, Aug. 22.-The democra-
tic party in Iowa will this fall oppose
the Titus amendment to the constitu-
ton, providing for the biennial cleo
lions. This decision, altho considered
likely for some time, was finally reach
ed at conferences of the state central
committee and party managers held in
Cedar Rapids in connection with the
state convention. In taking this posi-
ton the party will put upon the defen-
sive number of democratic members
of the house and senate who voted for
the amendment in both the twenty
seventh and twenty-eighth general as
semblies. The democratic managers
hope to defeat the amendment, and
base their hope largely upon the rec
ognized conservatism of the people
when changes in the constitution are
proposed and upon the opposition of
publishers of weekly papers who
would lose a considerable amount of
official printing thru the change from
annual to biennial elections.

WEEK OF HIGH TEMPERATURE.
Much Rainfall Reported from Central
and Southern Sections.


Des Moines, Aug. 21.-(Special.)-
The past week was unusually hot and
wet The daily excess in temperature
ranged from~3 to degrees. From the
18th to 18th inclusive it was showery
in nearly all parts of the state, and
excessive amounts of rainfall are re-
ported from numerous stations in the
central and southern sections. In ma
ny localities the, showers were accom-
panied by severe squalls, causing some
damage to windmills, light buildings,
stacks of grain, ETC., and heavy corn
suffered some injury by being tangled
and lodged. BIT the damage has been
light in comparison with the vast
amount of benefit resulting from the
abundant moisture.
Threshing has been delayed, but a
good beginning has been made in fall
blowing, with soil in excellent condi.
ton and this is likely to result in an
increased acreage of winter wheat in
the southern section.
The apple crop has suffered heavily
from effects of windstorms, especially
are most extensive.
i, Abundant fall pasturage is now well
assured. The meadows will produce
a liberal cutting of aftermath, and
there is a good outlook for fine crop
of clover seed. Potatoes are doing
we'll, The corn crop still promises
more than an average output for the
state. Appreciated spell Of dry wea-
Their is now needed to mature the crop
in it's best condition.

A PATHETIC SUICIDE.
Clarence Rich, Of Redwing, Mimi,
Takes Carboic Acid on Train.

Oelwein, Aug. 22,-Clarence Rich, a
young man 25 years of age, a passen-
ger on the midnight north bound train
on the G. G. W., committed suicide
Monday night on the train just before
reaching here, by drinking carbolic
acid. He drank the liquid just after
the train left Stanley and as the train
was pulling into the yards here he
asked the condctor for a glass of milk
telling him what he had done. AS soon
as the train stopped the young man
was removed to Pattison's hospital,
but he was too far gone to receive any
help and died in three-quarters of an
hour.
From long letter found on his per-
son, written to his father at Redwing,
Mimi, it appears that he was on his
way home from trip to Paris, and
having been in poor health for a num-
Der of years, with no hopes of improve
ment, he had become Respondent and
determined to end it all.

to Run for President.

to Run for President.
Washington, Aug. 22.-The United
Christian, published at Rock Island
H., the official organ of the party
bearing the same name, is RESPONSE
BILE for the statement that J. F. r..
Leonard, of Ainsworth. in this county,
has been nominated by the national
committee of the United Christian
party, as candidate for president of
the United States. The article con-
tanning this information was written
by w. R. Benkert of Davenport,
chairman of the national committee,
and tells of the difficulty the party
has had in finding presidential can
didate. Rev. M. Swallow and John
G. Wooley were first chosen but re.
fused, and Francis Clark, the Chris,
tian Endeavorer, and Charles M. Shell,
don were the second choice of the
committee. They cabled refusals
from Europe, SO on August 9 the
committee met in Rock Island and
nominated j. F. r. Leonard, of Aims
worth, with David Martin, of Pitts
burg, Pa, as candidate for vice presi
dent. The article speaks of Leonard
as the Lincoln of Iowa" and eulogiZes
him in tlattering terms.
Leonard is prosperous farmer liz
ing in this county. He is about sixty
years of age and is simple-minded
old man, who was one of the original
five organizers of the party. He is a
member of the M. e. church at Aims
worth, and has never made any pre-
tensions as public man. He has
notified the committee of his accept
ance of the nomination.

SELLING STATE GOODS
Des Molnes News Alleges That John

lie Letters Printed.

Des Moines, Aug. 21.-The News of
this city prints long article, with fac
smile letters, charging that dishon-
esty and fraud has been practiced on
the state by officials of the industrial
department of the Mt. Pleasant hospi-
tai for the insane. The News says:
THE state of Iowa, with it's match
less, record of official honesty and
clean management of it's institutions,
is about to be plunged into the depths
of scandal of gigantic proportions,
affecting the reputation of men high
in official life and threatening to ex-
tend it's ramifications to more than
one of the states institutions.
1.-THE fact has been unearthed that
the industrial department of the hos
pital for the insane at Mt. Pleasant
has been selling large quantities of the
states supplies to various parties for
a small part of their value. These
goods are purchased by the state

selling value and dividing the spoils
among themselves.
1T is said that some of the goods

but most of them have been hauled in
| wagons to other stations and shipped
/ to the consignees under fictitious
names.
Numerous shipments have been
made to one firm at Burlington and by
them resoid in larger or smaller lots,
but always at less than their value.
1T is even believed that the fire
which on Feb. Is, 1900, destroyed the
building of the industrial department
was the desperate and deliberate work
of the gang of plunderers whose
crimes are soon to be laid bare and it
is hoped, adequately punished; that,
having been selling the state supplies
for months or years, they fred the
shop in order to conceal a portion of
the evidence OF Cnelr crimes.
The News then charges that John
M. Stone, superintendent of the in.
dustrial department, has sold goods be.

Mt. Pleasant, Aug. 21.-John W.

partment of the insane hospital, was
arrested last night by Sheriff Putnam
on warrant issued by Justice Burton
charging him with larceny.
This warrant was issued on an in.
