TWO RousINe MEETINGS.
keokuk County Farmers Listen to Dol
liver and Lacey,

Sigourney, Oct. a. (Special.)-
Fully three thousand people listened
to Senator Dolliver yesterday after
noon. The audience was made up of
large delegations from Delta, Keota,
Richland and Hedrick, and farmers
from the surrounding country. Every
one laid aside their work and assist
ed in making it the banner republican
day in Keokuk county. Brass bands
from What Cheer and Richland coop
Grated with the local musical organiza-
ton in rendering appropriate music
for the occasion. No building in the
city being large enough to furnish
seating capacity for such a gathering,
a speakers stand was erected in the
park and everyone had an opportunity
of hearing and seeing one of Iowa s
greatest orators. Mr.. Doniver's adj
dress covered a period of two hours
and was masterpiece on the issues
of this campaign. Congressman John
F. Lacey addressed another meeting
here last night and the crowd, which
turned out to hear him was not able to
get into the hall. 1t is freely predict
ed that Lacey's majority in keokuk
county this year will be record
breaker.

Rally at Parkersburg the Largest
Known in West Virginia.
Parkersburg, w. Va, Oct. 19.-The
Roosevelt demonstration here last
night is conceded to have been the big.
gest political affair in the history OF
the state. Preceding two meetings
there was a big parade, participated in
by marching clubs and rough rider es-
corts to Governor Roosevelt and other
dignitaries. The streets were lined
with people burning red fire and cheer
ing.
In the first carriage were Governor
Roosevelt, Governor Atkinson, Candi-
date for Governor White, who lives
here, and Colonel Curtis Guild, Jr.
Governor Roosevelt spoke first to 5000
people in the wigwam and was then
hurried to the Auditorium, where he
addressed an audience of 1000. Other
speakers were Colonel Guild and Will
liam D. Bynum of Indiana So great
was the enthusiasm that only Cover
nor Roosevelt was heard to any ex-
tent, but there was no disorder.

DoLLIvER AT HEDRlck.
Big Republican Meeting and Parade
Last Evening".

Hedrick, Oct. 19.-(SpeciaD-The
republicans of this city and the sur
rounding country held rousing po-
litical rally last evening with Senator
]. P. Dolliver as the principal speaker.
The meeting was held in the First
Methodist church, the auditorium OF
which was not large enough to hold
half the people who wished to hear the
eloquent speaker. A big parade, con-
tanning several handsome floats, and
headed by fifty horsemen, under the
leadership of Hon. Stephen Buckner,
OF Highland Center, preceded the
speaking. AS the train from Sigour-
ney was late, Mr.. Dolliver did not ar
rive until about $50 o'clock, and the
audience was entertained by cam
paign quartette which rendered some
rousing songs. Upon Senator Dolli-
ver's arrival he assumed the platfrom
and spoke fiuently and convincingly
until II o'clock. The rally was one OF
the largest ever held in Hedrick.

GRACE SCORES BRYAN.
Democratic Ex-Mayor says Bryan's De.
feat is Essential to Our Honor.

Ieat Is Essential TO our Honor.
New York Oct. 20.-William r.
Grace, one of the democratic ex-may-
ors of the city who cannot swallow
Bryan, said yesterday: ut is just as
essential to our honor and welfare
now that Mr.. Bryan be defeated and
his principles repudiated as 1t was in
1886. l believe that crushing defeat
for Mr. Bryan and free silver is the
only thing that can save the demo-
cratic party.
The democracy upon which / was
brought up and upon which my polit1-
cal faith and actions are based holds
in it's fundamental principles that .the
best government is that which governs
the least. Mr.. Bryan and his follow
ers discard this common-sense prin-
ciple for socialism and populism,
which threaten the rights of the indi-
yidual by mischievous legislation.
ITO my mind the Bryan cam
paign of 1900 resulves itself into an at
tempt to capture votes by seeking to
combine the silver populists and the
disgruntled portion of each community
by the misnamed paramount issue of
imperialism, militarism and the
vague attack upon trusts. The dan
ger of national dishonor thru repudia-
ton is not, has not been, and cannot
be, hidden from the intelligent voter
by these attempts to divert his atten-
ion from the main issue"

in Boston today on the Saxionia, after
visit with relatives in England.
After residing in Abba and Lucas
for number of years, the family came
to Ottumwa iii 1887, where they have
ever since resided. Mr.. Huband was
employed as janitor in the Y. M. c. A.
building, which position he held for
seven years. Last June he was con-
fined to his bed with Bright's disease
and for time his life was despaired
of. He grew better in about six weeks
and again resumed his duties, but was
afterwards striker and has since
been unable to resume work.
Yesterday he came down town and
chatted with the boys at the Y. M. c..
A., and it was thought he was great
deal better. Last evening he went
home and complained of not feeling
ell and went to bed. About 8
o'clock the family was aroused and
found Mr.. Huband suffering intensely.
His head seemed to be affected and it
is thought that a blood vessel had
burst. Drs. Russell and Huband were
quickly called, but the patient shortly
after quietly passed away.

COSTLY LITIGATION.
Sioux City Likely TO Lose in Most I'm.
portant Suits.

Sioux City, Oct. 49, Judge Shiras,
of the federal court has made deci-
sion in the case of Otis Vickery ct al,
VS.. the city of Sioux City ct al, which
gives promise of final decision in the
same case which would cost the city
of Sioux City between $4,000 and
100000. Vickery brought action on
the grounds that money which should
be applied in taking up improvement
bonds held by him had been used to
take up other improvement bonds.
Acting under instructions the city
treasurer has maintained only three
district improvement bond funds and
has taken up bonds without much ref
erence as to when the property had
PAID in the money. In the ruling just
received Judge Shiras overrules a de-
murrer of the city and in his opinion
seems to make it plain what his final
decision will be. There is another
case pending, Farson, Leach & Co. VS..
the city of Sioux City, in which the
same issue is involved.

Sen. Hanna Roundly Scores
the Democratic Candidate
in His Home City.
REPLIES TO ISLANDERS
Crowd Cheers Republican Manager
When He Denounces the Nebraskan
Population of MIR. Bryan's Town
Welcomes the Ohio Senator.

Lincoln, Neb., Oct. Ex-senator
Hanna tonight threw down the gaunt-
let to Mr.. Bryan in the home city OF
the democratic candidate for presl-
dent. He spoke plainly of facts and
he said as emphatically as he could
that Mr.. Bryan was a man who did
not hesitate to SANDER others to ad-
vance his own selfish ambition, and
that such man was unfit to aspire
to the high Office of president. Mr..
Hanna's language was bitter and al
most sensational, but it was not re-
scented by the old neighbors of Mr..
Bryan. They cherred the Ohio sena-
tor when he denounced the favorite
son of Nebraska.
Hanna Merely Gets Even.
Mr.. Hanna in denouncing Mr.. Bryan
in his own home simply paid Mr.. Bry-
an in his own coin. Three years ago,
when Mr.. Hanna was the republican
candidate for United States senator,
Mr.. Bryan went into Ohio and all over
the state denounced MI. Hanna as a
labor crusher. Mr.. Hanna bided his
time, and last night he for the first
time visited Mr.. Bryan's home city and
replied to him. He denounced Mr..
cred to resign from the senate if the
duce one of his workmen to submit
the charges he made. Then he said
that Mr.. Bryan had, knowingly or I'M
v,ysr ,1.y ain rtoI eli ,rk
him, and that the man who would use
his position before the pubic to SLAM
der other men and crafty his own sell
| fish ambition was unfit to aspire to the
| presidency.
Mr.. Hanna then took up Mr.. Bryan's
speech at Salem, ILL.,, where he charged
the republicans with trying to corrupt
the voters and control the election by
he use of money. Mr.. Hanna said he
had waited until he could speak to Mr..
Bryan's home people in reply to this
charge. He denounced it as false as
hell" and said that Mr.. Bryan knew
that he was uttering falsehood when
he made the statement.
Denunciation of Bryan Is Cheered.
Mr.. Hanna said that his charge was
made against him as the head of the
Republican committee, and he felt
bound to reply to it in the plainest and
most direct manner. 1t was false and
the man who made it was a knowing
falsifier. These sensational accusa-
lions against Mr.. Bryan, made before
large audience in his own home,
were cheered to the echo. The people
who know w. ]. Bryan best endorsed
all that Senator Hanna said Mr. Ham
ma made these statements not only in
one meeting, but in three, where he
spoke in succession.

The weather prophets are predict

that corn husks are not thick, neither

same reason that a man will put on

Hence thin husks indicate short and

contentment, not at all needing the
lateness of the season, sure sign that
he does not expect the approach OF
uncomfortable weather at an early

would probably already have made his

Why, even the coal barons are will

certainly not be induced to do if they
