TODEFEATCUMMINS
OTHER CANDIDATES coMciNE IN
GUEERNATORlAL CONTEST.

Steering Committee Named to Handle
the Concentration Agalnet Cum
r1no-Deieaates Are Pouring Into
Cedar Rapids.
Cedar Rapids. Ia, Aug. 6.-Delegates
arc pouring into the town to attend
the Republican gubernatorial conven-
ton which convenes here tomorrow.
The managers Of the several candi-
dates each assert confidence in the
victory OF his man. but between esti-
mates that radically differ and state
mcnts that fatty contradict, one iact is
evident, and that is that the conveu-
ton will be q battle royal from its be-
ginning. The supporters of 4. e. Cum
minis declare he will receive the nom
ination, while the anti-Cumm.ns men
say they will make fight in the eau
cuses that will prove a surprise to
Cummins, and they confidently predict
that they will control the makeup of
all the Important committees. Mr..
Cummins claims that he will receive
the nomination or the first or second
ballot.
Cummins against the field and the
fortunes cf the field in the absolute
control Of G steering and Sitting com
mittee is the situation. The commit
tee is composed Of two representatives
of each candidate for governor, with
the exception Of Cummins. The deter
ninatiOn OF the candidates to make a
common fight against Cummins was
reached yesterday in a conference that
lasted from an early hour until noon.
It was decided to force the contest.
first of all, before the committee on
credentials where the opposition TO
Cummins hopes to take from him 26
votes. There are three contests 20
come before the committee, involving
in Jackson county 1G votes, in Carroll
county 2 votes and in Poll; county
votes. The contests are all against
the Cummins men. and a mighty effort
win be made to unseGt them.
It was decided by the conference
that If the Cunmins faction trlumphed
on the floor of the convention in the
fight over the report OF the credentials
committee a bolt should be made to
some one candidate and the full
strength of the opposition thrown to
him. 1t Is altogether likely that there
will be an alliance formed between
Cummins and Judge Towner, the can
dldate for the bench of the supreme
court. The friends of Judge Towner
are deeply in earnest in their fight,
and have his interest very much at
heart. 1t was admitted by one of his
campaign managers that If it would
advance the interests of their man to
make an alliance with Cummins they
would gladly enter into the compact.
1t is estimated that an alliance be-
tween Cummins and Towner would
bring to the former about 100 votes
which he does not now have, and
which would insure his election. On
the other hand. there are many dele
gates from the northwestern part of
the state. where Cummins has nearly
everything who are strongly for
Towner. They would be glad to go
for him. provided their doing so cost
nothing to Cummins. With a chance
to make something on the trade that
would help both of the men they like.
there is every chance of the deal being
made.

Am erican Shipping.

American shipping is picking up
but the growth is only In coast-trade
and lake vessels. At the beginning of
the civil war America took a front
rank among the nations in the num-
Der OF its ships. At that time most
trading vessels were propelled, not by
steam as now, but were exclusively
sailing vessels. The rebel cruisers,
built in England, drove these wooden
sailing vessels from the seas, mostly
into the hands of foreign owners.
Steamships are modern inventions
and the Ocean-carrying industry is
largely done in steamships, insuring
more rapid and reliable transporta-
ton. Within the last few years
Americans have built large number
Of teamships, a. larger numbe the
past year than in any preceding
twelve months. Our shipping now
exceeds in tonnage what we had in
1861. 1t has the advantage in efficien-
cy over that of ante-civil-war date in
asmuch as the ships Of the present
era are mostly steam vessels and a
considerable number have steel hulls.
The figures relating to our shipping,
mparing 1901 with 1861, show an in
crease in coasting-trade and lake yes
sells from 2,704, 564 tons TO 1852, $50
tons, but a decrease in foreign-trading
vessels from ,, 1876, S94 to 1895 tons,
and a decrease in whaling and fishing
vessels of from 38S, 356 to 81, $40 tons.
OF this tonnage now In possession of
the country, 534, 2l8 tons-l ,901 OH
is in steel vessels and 3,633,201 is in
wooden vessels.

The British board OF trade has pub

The British board OF trade has pub
lished statement Of the average
amount Of liquor-wine, malt liquor
and spirits-used by the individual
in four countries. This average is
deduced from ten years consumption.
In the British Dominions the citizens
use on an average 1921 gallons year;
in France, 1880 gallons; in Germany,
30.S9 gallons and in the United States,
14.69 gallons. This statement will
surprise many who have been &C
customed to assert that Americans
are the hardest drinkers Of any people.
In France and Germany people use
much wine, product Of the two
countries. 1t is probable that Ameri-
cans use less wine and more spirits
than either the French or Germans.
The English do not use so much wine
as the French or Germans but drink
more beer and indulge much in spirit
uous liquors.

Question Answered.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the
civilized world, Your mothers and
grandmothers never thought Of using
anything else for indigestion or bill
iOusness. Doctors were scarce, and
they seldom heard of APPENDICITIS, ner-
vOus prostration or heart failure, etc.
They used August Flower to clean
out the system and stop fermentation
Of undigested food, regulate the &C.
tion Of the liver, slim ulate the ner-
yous and organic action Of the system
and that is all they took when feeling
dull and bad with headaches and 9TH

Makes . Fortune In Aiming Stocks and
Pays On Church Mortgage
Shrewd investment in Arizona min
ing properties has raised Rev. Larkin
A. Rockwell, pastor Of the West Pull
man M. E. church, from his position
as a struggling minister on small
salary to a man of affluence. Several
years ago he began buying stock in
the Azurite, Irvine Beauties and other
old mines in Arizona. His investments
turned out so proftably that q short
time ago he was able to announce to
his congregation that he himself would
pay of the mortgage Of $4,000 which
rested over the little church where he
presided as pastor. At the same time
he resigned his salary. as he said his
own income was adequate for the sup
port OF his family. Rev. Mr.. Rock
we'll was formerly pastor Of the Sec
ond Methodist church at Englewood.
When he accepted the call to West
Pullman he found that church incum-
bered by a mortgage and the congre-
cation hardly more than able to keep
nm the interest. The mining invest
ments of Mr.. Rockwell are reputed to
have made him worth 100000. He IL
at present in Arizona looking after
his investments. He has in view other
charitable dispensations on his return.

GREAT KNIFE WORK.

Mexican's Experience with . Herd Of
Antelope.
A Mexican freighter whose route
lies across the deserts of New Mexico
and Arizona and who is known as
Juan Riviera has many tales to tell OF
bloodcurdling adventures he has had
during his trips across the sands. AL
though considered to be as truthful as
the ordinary man by his acquaintances,
some of his stories would indicate that
he occasionally departs from the path
Of rectitude or else the road he travels
must be a veritable paradise for hunt
ers. One Of his "reminiscences Is as
follows: while passing from Chi
huahua to Tucson, some fifteen years
ago, encountered great herd, prob
ably a thousand, of antelope, and this
accounts for the loss of my forehnser,
which you see is lacking two joints.
This herd was not far from a box
canyon. having very narrow entrance
when first saw 1t. By riding to and
fro, I succeeded after an hour In get
ting them to enter the canyon, but as
the entrance was narrow ! could get
them in only one at a time. After los
ing considerable time got them AL
in. To keep them cooped up. began
to pile up stones at the opening, IN
tending to leave the antelopes there
and notify my friends of the eaten.
While at work the antelopes suddenly
turned on me and began to rush Out.
There was not time enough to bar the
opening, so I grabbed my knife anu
stabbed them as they came out. Ante
lope are much like sheep, and folfow
their leader and came rushing through
so rapidly that my arm was kept In
motion like the crank shaft on wind
mill. l wore out the knife. then the
handle. and was 80 excited that kept
on jabbing with my forefnger until l
had worn it down to one joint. IL
doasn't nav to get excited"
