STATE NEWS NOTES.
MATTERS OF SPECIAL INTEREST TO
IOWA PEOPLE.

Des Moines, Ia. May 4.-For dele-
gates -at-large to the Kansas City con-
vention: Sato Sells, of Vinton; Charles
A. Walsh, of Ottumwa; John S. MUIR
ply, of Dubuque; George Baker, Of
Davenport. Alternates: Edward b.
Evans, of Des Moines; Alvin Wagenen,
of Sioux City; L. I. Gaming, Of Mills
county, Daniel P. Stubs, of Fairfield.
Iowa Democrats in convention here
yesterday nominated the above dele
gates and alternates to the Kansas
City convention. The proceedings were
characterized by harmony throughout,
and the convention was the largest
held by the Democrats of this state in
recent years, nearly 1000 delegates be-
ing present.
Convention Was for Bryan.
The prevailing sentiment was over
whelmingly for Bryan, and the dele
gates were instructed to vote as unit
for him at Kansas City. In the franz
ing Of the platform the more conserva-
tive element prevailed. The Chicago
platform is Endorsed and the gold
standard denounced, but the, ratio Of
16-tO-1' does not appear in the resolu-
lions. The selection of John s. MUIR
ply, editor Of the Dubuque Telegraph,
was concession to the advocates Of
free silver. Murphy was at first in
clined to insist on the inclusion of the
numerals in the platform, but all diff
ferences were adjusted in the commit
tee on resolutions, the result being the
reaffirmation Of the 1896 platform with
out the direct mention Of the ratio.
Convention Sympathixes with the Beers.
jeremiah B. Sullivan, Of Creston,
was temporary chairman, and Douglas
DeremOre, Of Waukon, permanent pres
ident Of the convention. Sullivan was
given tremendous applause in response
to his denunciation of trusts and i'm
perialism, and his Endorsement Of Will
lam j. Bryan for president. Nowhere
in his speech did he mention 16-to-1.
The convention adopted a resolution
offered by Ex-Representative Butler,
providing that the delegates contribute
to fund in aid Of the Beers. The
platform also extends sympathy to the
Beers, favors popular election Of Unit
ed States senators and generally con-
dennis the whole Republican national
policy, domestic and foreign.
Huffman Elected Chsirman.
The Democratic state central com
mittee last night reelected George A
Huffman, of Des Moines, chairman
and selected Cedar Rapids as the place
for holding the convention for the nom
ination of state officers during the las
week Of July. A. K. Jackson, of lows
City, was elected secretary Of the com
mittee. and ]. w. Rowans, of Denison
treasurer
The delegation to the Kansas City
convention met and elected Cato Sells
Of Vinton, chairman, and Walter Dew
ey, of Charlton, secretary.

Veterans Were His Escort.
On either side of the admiral
marched twelve veterans of the battle
OF Manila, half of whom had served on
board the Olympia. Just ahead of and
just behind the carriage were sixteen
members Of the Naval Veterans asso-
citation. At the head of the parade
marched a squad of police under direc-
ton Of Chief Ripley; General James F.
Wade and his staff, and detachments
of infantry, cavalry and artillery. With
the admiral rode Mayor Harrison and
Charles Plamondon. The Art Institute
steps were filed with girls in white,
red or blue gowns, who formed the
word Dewey" and who sang when
the admiral went by.
Ex-Judge Turns Himself Loose.
= Ex-Judge Bradwell, with white hair
down upon his shoulders and white
beard down upon his breast, wah prob
ably the most enthusiastic man along
the line of march. He leaned far back
on the steps of the house at 1430 Mich
igan avenue, to give his lungs greater
freedom, swung his silk hat in wide
circles about his head, and shouted In
a way that is supposed to be beyond 2
man Of his years. From one of the up
per stories of 1872 Michigan avenue
came fiuttering down upon the car
riages shower of little flags. There
were five miles of the parade, and it
was as brilliant spectacle as ever
marched in Chicago. 1t was in eight
divisions.

The news from the electric power
proposition is that everything is pro-

it is almost certain that power from the
plant will be delivered on the Comstock
by the 1st of July or close to that date.
Tho mining companies are pushing
their affairs to fit their machinery for
the utilization OF electric power, and
bids have been called for from the ma
chinery men for pumping engines to be
driven by electricity for the unwater-
ing of the lower levels of the Comstock

Comstock to examine the situation that
they may bid understandingly. Among
the prominent local concernswho will es-

Everything is progressing favorably
and rapidly and some day the people of

ROBERTS ADVANCING.
Beers are Retreatinq Towards
Kroonstadt.

LONDON, May 7th. The capture of
Winberg by the British is confirmed
and the main advance To Pretoria con
tinues with the machine like precision
and rapidity which has accompanied all
of Lord Roberts forward movements.
BY the occupation OF Winberg General
Ian Hamilton puts himself nearly par
allel with Lord Roberts, and only 90
miles eastward.
The only feature Of the carefully de-
vised plan of general advance not dis
closed by the swift movements Is that
part General Butler has elected to take
in the operations. At present there are
no indications of movement on the
part of Buffers army.
Lord Roberts is now nine miles north
of the Vet, and sixty-three miles north
of Bloemfontein. Evidently he is not
letting grass grow under his feet, though
the Beers seem anxious to retreat to-
ward Kroonstadt, and are so doing.
