For Hnnneseekers.

The Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
railway will sell regular homeseekers'
excursion tickets to all points in South
Dakota, at one fare plus So for the
round trip, on September 18 and octo-
Der 2, 1900. This will enable parties
to visit the Corn Belt Exposition to be
held in Mitchell, S. D., September 26
to October 4. 1900, inclusive. This ex-
position is held to demonstrate the
great agricultural resources, wealth
and possibilities of this thriving state.
The exposition is held in a gorgeously
decorated corn palace which for beau
ty can hardly be excelled anywhere by
building of temporary nature.
There are thousands of acres Of cheap
lands left in South Dakota that will,
under the present conditions In that
state, rapidly increase In price, and
the holding of this corn palace with
its many attractions, that both amuse
and instruct, should be an opportunity
that all land and investment seekers
should embrace.
!. For further information apply to any
ticket agent of the Chicago, Milwaukee
& st. Paul R'y, or address Geo. n.
Heafford, general passenger agent, Chi
cago.

Wapello County Woman.

Blakesburg, Oct. 6. 19OO-(Special)
The recent Dissertation of a grave
near Keokuk greatly concerns resi-
dent OF this place in the person of Mrs.
w. H. Rogers, her mothers grave hav-
ing been robbed by ghouls and the

of near Blakesburg, went to Keokuk
for the purpose Of having an operation
performed, and died from the shock.
Her body was inferred in what is
known as the Yellow Banks cemetery,
near Keokuk, with the intention of lat
er taking it to cemetery near Blakes-
burg, where it would be laid by the
side of her husband. A few days ago
son, w. H. Dwyer, of WOODBURY.,
went to the cemetery where his moth
ers body was supposed to be buried,
for the purpose of disinterring it, The

tary. On motion to proceed to the
election, the following officers were
selected: President G. M. Robb;
first vice president l.. B. Edwards;
second vice president, D.. w. Johnson;
secretary, F.. D. Mason; treasurer,
George Smith. An executive commit
tee was named by the chairman, con-
sisting of Lon. Randolph, Ed Giltner
and j. G. Warner Committees were
appointed to secure rates from the
railroads whenever the club should
leave the city; also committees to
look after the paraphernalia of the
marching club. About $50 names are
now enrolled as members of the club.
Prof. Mitchell, of Chicago, who is
now in charge of the band, has put
that organization thru two practice
meetings, and he is thoroly satisfac-
tory to the members. He is organic
ing an auxiliary band from which to
obtain material for the regular organi-
cation, as soon as they become pro-
ficient enough to join the same. A
concert will be given this evening.
Work on the street pavement has
been delayed the past two weeks by
the incessant rains to such an extent
that not brick has been layed, AMI
it will be impossible to complete the
undertaking by the fifteenth of October
as the contract calls for. Sand can
not be obtained because of the high
water, and further work will have to
be delayed on this account.
The first number of the lecture
course as provided for the ensuing
year will be the entertainment by the
Parker Concert company to be given
October % at the M. E. church.

TRAVELLING MEN FOR M,KlNLEy
Result Of Registrations Made at Da,
export Hotel.

Davenport Oct Ga voting register
for travelling men-a carefully prepar-
ed book for the purpose-has been
kept in the st. James hotel since Sep
TENDER 26. Only travelling men are
permitted to register in it. The pri.
mary object was to determine the ac-
curacy of statement in the Bryan
Freak published in Chicago, a short
time ago that 80 per cent of the trav.
cling men of the country would vote
for Bryan.
From Sept. 26 to noon today 204
names, with places of residence, have
been registered. The ballot at this
time stands: IT'S for Mckinley and
20 for Bryan, showing over IS per cent
in favor of Mckinley.
1t is important to add that these
commercial travellers come from all
parts of the country, and consequently
reflect, with a good deal of certainty,
the political sentiment of the United
States in the present campaign.
If such register as this had been
kept from the start in the leading no
tells of the principal cities of the coun-
try to the LIST of November, and the
results tabulated at national commit
tee headquarters, it would have been
most interesting for present purposes
and for future reference.

showing that she made gallant and
successful fight against the man.
Snider was brought to this city
about 3 o'clock Wednesday morning
and was arraigned before David B.
Wilson, a justice of the peace. He
waived examination and was bound
over to await the action of the grand
jury which will convene in this city
Tuesday, October 80. In the mean
time, he was released on a $1,000
bond.

FIND UNcHARTED WATER PIPE
Further Evidence in Chicago Water
Scandal

Chicago, Oct. 6.-An uncharted four
inch connection with the Forty-second
street water main was discovered by
the city diggers yesterday at the
stock yards. The connection is about
200 feet west of Packers avenue. The
pipe will be traced on Sunday.
The appropriation of $4,000 for the
investigation of alleged water robbery
in the stock yards was delayed further
yesterday by the finance committee re-
ferring it to a subcommittee composed
of Aldermen Pike, Carey and Raymer.
Superintendent Nourse of the water
department did not appear before the
committee to explain the necessity for
making the appropriation, and the al
dermen did not agree upon the imme-
date need of the money 1t was held
to mean the depletion of the already
bankrupt water fund. arft 3

today, by which if it is permanent, one
of the Ottumwa dispatchers will re-
move from the city, and others will be
promoted A. A. Wright, who has for
some time been branch dispatcher for
the East Iowa division, went to Cres-
ton this afternoon, where it is re-
ported he will take the place of the
dispatcher who was on duty at the
time of the fatal wreck at Alton, in
which Peter McAloon, of this city, and
two other men were killed. Mr..
Wright is thus promoted from the po-
sition of branch dispatcher to that of
main line dispatcher. His many
friends, while regrettting his removal
from the city, will be glad to hear OF
his promotion.
In the local offices, corresponding
promotions will take place as result
of Mr.. Wright's departure if the
change is permanent. Frank Shaner,
clerk to c. w. Messenger, will take
Mr.. Wright's former position, and his
duty will be the dispatching of trains
on the branches of the East Iowa divi-
Slou, CudL Is, AlDla ana DeS MONIES
branch, the Charlton and Indianola,
and the Charlton and st. Joe branches.
Mr. Shaner's clerical position will be
taken by. Charles HANCOCK, who at
present is night operator. Chas. Burk-
land, the present day operator, will be
advanced to the position vacated by
MIR. Hawcock. 1t has not as yet been
decided who will be selected to fill
Mr.. Burkiand's place, but it will prob
ably be c. G. Bedding, who has for
merly worked in the Ottumwa office
temporarily, but has recently been
stationed at Fairfield.
