SENATOR m'INTIRE FOR CONGRESS-
Prominent Democrat Says He Will be
Nominated.
From WednesdaY's Daily.

= $3.50 'NstA4Ns'>AAJ %. A~NAAys
A prominent democrat told a Cour-
Ter reporter today that the democratic
party would surely nominate State
Senator w. A. McIntire for congress
from this district, Notwithstanding his
objections. In enumerating his good
qualities the informant said that the
democratic party had been good to
him and had claims which he could
not ignore. SIAs a vote gettcr," the
prominent democrat said, "Mr. McIn-
tire has demonstrated his desirability
and from every standpoint he is the
man for the place. Then the gentle
man confdentally told the reporter
some things strictly on the side. He
said the Courier could say and be
strictly truthful in making the asser-
ton, that Mr.. McIntire would be the
nominee of the party; that it was a
dead open and shut proposition that
admitted of no doubt, In fact, so en-
phatic was this prominent democrat
that it is more than half believed that
he knows what he is talking about.
That democrats generally desire Mr..
McIntire to run is well known. That
he is hesitating is also well known,
but if the gentleman interviewed to-
day has recently sat in a caucus where
the matter was cut and dried, the
senator can hardly help himself.

From Wei

Capt. j. w. Carr, the Poweshiek can
didate for the nomination for congress
on the republican ticket, got left in
Ottumwa this morning while. enroute
to the state convention at Des Moines.
The captain was in town yesterday and
remained over night, expecting to ac-
company the Wapello county delega-
ton to the convention. He was at the
depot long before the train arrived,
but became engaged in conversation
with Frank Simmons, one of the dele
gates, and did not notice that the
train had started. The vestibule doors
We're closed, and in his attempt to get
on Mr.. Carr vame very near getting
under the wheels. Mr.. Simmons, who
was more active, secured better hold
and retained his position until the
porter opened the door and let him in.
Some unsympathetic individual who
witnessed the captains unsuccessful
race for the train, remarked that he
would have to make better run than
that if he defeated Major Lacey.

MAY TAKEIT TO POPE
Iowa City Catholics Desire Return
of Rev. Father O'Farrel.
WILL FIRST PETITION The BISHOP
IL Said That Failure From This Source
Will be Followed by an Applica.
ton to the Higher
Authority.
From Wednesdays Daily,

From Wednesdays Daily,
| A movement is on foot among the
pensioners of ST. Patrick's Catholic
church of Iowa City, to secure & re-
| turn of Father O'Farrell, the former
pastor of that church, who was recent
| ly transferred to the South Ottumwa
charge and Father Ward to that form
erly held by Father O'Farrell. The
matter will be put in the form of a
| petition and will be presented to
Bishop Cosgrove, of Davenport, for his
permission, and it is rumored that if
he does not accede to their desires
that they will go direct to the pope
with it. Both priests, it seems, have
become much endeared to the parish
toner's of their former charges and
each desire the return of their form
er spiritual adviser. Recently PEE
tition was circulated among both Pro-
testants and Catholics in this city adj
dressed to Bishop Cosgrove, asking for
the return of Father Ward. Now the
Iowa City Catholics have circulated a
like petition addressed to the bishop,
and it is said in case of a refusal from
him that they will go to the head OF
the church, An adjustment of the
matter on the basis of the restoration
of both priests to their former charges
would suit both parishes, it seems,
altho neither have a word to say
about the present incumbent. Speaking
of the movement to secure the return
of Father O'Farrell, the Iowa City
DAILY Republican says that petition
has been circulated and signed by 400
parishioners, which will be presented
to the bishop by twenty-five promi-
nent members of the church, who
were recently appointed for that pur-
pose. The petition states that the
demand for the return of Father
O'Farrell continues to grow and is
much desired by the parish. 1t re-
cites that during his ministry he had
expended large amount of money for
the good of the cause, had built and
equipped a parish school and hall at
an expense of $4,000, had establish
ed permanent school fund and ac-
complished many other things for the
good of the church.
| Nothing has been done recently by
the parishioners of st. Patrick's
church in this city looking to securing
the return Of Father Ward, it having
been popularity supposed that the de-
cision of the bishop was final. 1t may
be that the pressure from both places
being so strong may ultimately result
in the desired end and may give new
life to the movement at this end Of
/ the line.
