AS we SEQ 1t.

Inc day OF election is fast approach
ing. In another month the voters of
Harrison county, with other counties
OF Iowa, will be called upon to exer-
else the elective franchise, and by their
action, the officers of the state willsuc-
coed to power. The official business of
Harrison county will be conferred upon
the candidates of ono or the other par
ty now before the people. This years
election is largely a personal contest,
as no National issues are now at issue,
and if it was the men to be elected will
have no power to control or influence,
directly, the action of the Federal gov
eminent. The idea that the dominant
parry, with its eighty thousand MAORI
ty, being IN danger by the election of q
few county officers IS preposterous.
The Democratic party has selected
set OF candidates who are clean, hon
orable. qualified men for every posi-.
ton from Senator down to Supervisor
Many of these Candidates have been
tried and found to be men Of high in
tegrity and sterling worth, and have
served the people we'll and acceptable

If honored by an election that they will
be faithful in the future. 1t is wis.

Hon. j. Il Kerkwood, our candidate
for Representative to the State Legis-
lature, proved himself to be q safe and
conservative friend of the people, not
brawler but working member, al

May Race for Contract.

When the Northwestern gets ready
to try To take away the government
mail cont ruct from the burlington you
can rest assured that we Will not be

ger agent uf the latter road yesterday.
Yes, have read The newspaper talk
about The Northwestern making plans
and every preparation to lower the

BILE they will make the ehbrt, but
every step the either roatatakes we
/ will meet them half way aHt every
minute they cut down over their im-

wise by the Burlington.
Il have heard nothing ctlicial in re-
f, gard tn the matter this fall, but II the
races 40 take place Will know about
it as soon as snynhe in Council Bluffs.
The government s;ipulates that the
time of tho rnai holding the existing
contract must be Bothered thirty min
ut,S for seven consecutive DAYS.
should the Northwestern succeed, the
Burlington will on the same day make
the distance tnirty-une or moro min
utes faster. We have the best engines
and the youngest, most skillfull and
nerviest engineers i'll the world. In
my own candid Judgment nothing be-
tweed here and Chicago can beat us,
The Northwestern's line Is twelve
miles shorter than the Burlington, but
many. in common with Mr.. Daven-
port, hold that the latter road has the
younger engineers that are capable of
more endurance aud has the largest
and fastest engines in the world.
The Northwestern will spare no
money in coming up to the require
ments for securing the contracts, it is
said. G. a. Morrison, the superin-
tendent of the new Sioux City division,
formerly the Sioux City y Pacific
road of the Northwestern, is person.
ally engineering plans Of that road for
enterlng into competition with the
Burlington within short tirae for the
carrying Of the through mails across
the state of Iowa.
Superintendent Morrison, according
to reliable information, has gone over
the divisions of the Burlington road,
and has made personal inspection of
the tracks, curves, grades station
grounds, double track equipment.
passing tracks, train schedules, etc.,
and all of the things entering into the
dispatch of the nails lie is making
careful comparison with the infor-
mation thus gained with the facilities
possessed by the Northwestern for
making extraordinary time.
In the competition of few years
ago the Burlington had the advantage
Of more miles of double track and es.
pecially constructed equipment. Now
t is claimed that the Northwestern,
shich has double tracked o.ly as far
IS Belle Plain, and which now has a
iouble track the entire distance ex-
sept for few miles between Carroll
md Missouri Valley, is in much better
hape to enter the competition. On
he other hand the Burlington has re
'uced number of it's grades and has
quilt some new double track, but not
20 much of 1t as the Northwestern.

Grief for Loved Ones Causes

Suicide.
On the second anniversary of her
husbands death, and one year lacking
a day, after the death of her beloved
baby, Mrs. Lola Rnden, % years old,
widow of the late Phillip Roden, com
mitted suicide Saturday night ut the
home of her parents MI ard Mrs
Peter Cox. who live about miles east
of Missouri Valley, near the town of
Rode.
The only cause the relatives of the
deceased can assign for her terrible
deed is, that she was rendered desper-
ate through continued sorrow for the
loved ones now dead. She evidently
had her self destruction under consid-
Grafton for several weeks as once be-
tore, about two weeks ago u member
of the family took u small bottle of
carbolc acid away from her. This
time she planned the deed with delib-
Greatness terrible to contemplate. Sat
urday afternoon she came to town and
spent the greater porllon of the after
noon visiting with her numerous rela-
tives and friends here. Late in the
afternoon she visited a local drug store
and purchased a two ounce phlal OF
carbolic acid also Is cents worth of rat
poison. She returned to her home in
the country late in the evening, reach
ing home about s O'clock. Shortly af
ter she sat down to supper with the
rest of the family and partook of a
hearty meal. AT the conclusion of the
meal she poured small quantltv of
coffee into cup and taking her three
year old daughter III her arms, she left
the house and was absent about five
minutes, after which she rejo;ned the
family. After chatting with different
members of the family for few min
utes. she again left the house, and &C.
cnrdlng to q statement she made a few
minutes Previous to her death, She
Went to.tile wood pie where she had
secreted the cup or cptfee few NM
utes previous, and pouxlng the entire
contents OF the phlal Into ths cup she
swallowed the deadly mixture. Re-
turning once more To the house, She
proceeded Immediately to her room,
complaining of a pain in her slds AL
though the pain caused by the acid
must have been terrible, she made not
the least cutlery and 1t was several
minutes before any OF the family
knew of her condition.
AS soon rs the family learned of her
precarious condition, medical aid was
summoned from this city, but before
the arrival Of the doctor life weseX
tinct. The funeral services which
were conducted from the late home of
the deceased, this afternoon at 3 O'Clock
were largely attended. The remains
we're buried in Rose Hill cemetery

ents, the deceased is survived by a
daughter three years old, the foster
parents of the little child having been
