HARMONY IN KEokuK.
Delegation In That County Divided on
Governor,

Sigourney, June 21.-The Keokuk
county convention selected uninstruct-
ed delegates to the state convention.
Its members are understood to be di-
yided on the governorship. The dele
cation is unanimous for Clayton's re-
election as state committeeman, T. C.
Legoe, Of What Cheer, being nominal
ed for representative. The delegation
was requested, but not instructed, to
support A. r. Dewey for supreme
Judge. The delegates to the senatorial
convention were instructed to support
j. 7. Brooks. Resolutions were
adopted commencing Governor Shaw
and calling him "the most able and in
dustrious governor in the United
States"

of governor, in case he should be
nominated and elected, there is no
question. If the southern section of

Another for PhilIips.-The name of
Hon. T. ]. Phillips, of Ottumwa, will
probably be presented by the Wapello
county democrats at the state conven-
ton as candidate for governor. 1t
would give us real pleasure to sup
port Mr.. Phillips for that office; he is
well qualified for the position and
would serve the state most satisfac-
torily. For the past four years Mr..
Phillips, as mayor of Ottumwa, has
kept close to the people, and that is
the kind of a man we want for COVER

publican vote here.-Chariton Demo-

Walsh and Huffman-Charles A.
Walsh, not being held back by the fact
that he was secretary of the democrat
ic national committee, went to Alaska
with the other rushers, but he still
claimed the right to go to the political
caucus in Iowa. Now there are re-
ports in circulation to the effect that
Mr.. Walsh has formed an alliance with
G. A. Huffman, chairman of the Iowa
democratic state central committee,
and that both are going down into
Missouri to grow up with the natives.
They may speculate in tin on the side,
but the story has it that both Mr..
Walsh and Mr.. Huffman are to ally
themselves with an insurance COM
pany. They have the experience neces-
sary to make good canvassers. If they
can convert the subject of their solic-
itude into taking out policies they
will do great deal better than they
have ever done in Iowa in the way of
inducing democrats to go into the sill
yer heresy business. Life Insurance
is thoroughly legitimate. In this re-
spect 1t differs from the efforts these
gentlemen have been making to have
Iowa go wrong.-Davenport Demo

weeks visit with relatives

friends IN WOODBURY..
Quite little excitement was Great
ed in the east end of town Thursday
night by the action of VIM. Strut, who
had loaded up on poor whisky and
gone home. Early in the afternoon
his wife called in a passerby to pro-
tect her from his drunken frenzy and
he was taken into custody but for
some reason was released. In the ev-
ening he again went home and began
to abuse the whole family, beating his
wife, tearing the clothes off his sister,
and terrorizing his father and mother.
After venting his wrath on all living
occupants of the house he began on
the furniture and broke it up throwing
some out Of the window. When
through with his own home he started
out for the neighbors, but officers were
called and he was taken to JAIL
VIM. Haven of Ottumwa was in the
city Friday in the interest of his coal
company.
Thursday was pay day On the Bur-
l1ngton at this place but the boys were
not as happy as usual. Owing to the
light traffic the past months many of
the trainmen did not receive as large
checks as usual.
The meeting to devise ways and
means for securing underground cross
ings for Charlton was SHINY attended
considering the great benefit such a
thing would be to the city. ]. A.
Campbell acted as chairman and e.
H. Lewis as secretary. A motion was
made and carried that a committee of
seven be appointed by the chair to
draft resolutions or petitions to the
railroad company and city council and
procure signers for same and report
at an adjourned meeting one week
later or June 20. The committee con-
sisted Of B. r. Van Dyke (chair,), w.
w. Coles, Ell Manning, j. A. Campbell,
Q. J. Isreal, G. w. Ensley and Howard
Culbertson. After some little discus
sion as to the number and place for
the crossings in which various opin-
ions were expressed the meeting ad-
journed.

Charlton.

Charlton, June 21.-There will be an
ice cream supper at Central church in
English township this evening and If
the weather and roads are favorable a
number of the young people of Chart
ton will drive out.
Geo. Wallace and family, of Carlisle,
are spending a few days in Lucas
county visiting relatives and friends
in Otter creek township.
Henry Bell, of Ottumwa, was renew.
ing old acquaintances in Charlton on
Wednesday. s
H. D. Copeland has returned to his
home in Charlton after an extended
visit in Chicago where he has been
looking after his commission business.
Mrs. VIM. Shrimp is enjoying very
pleasant visit from her friend, Miss
Ronk, of Derby.
Again the question of underground
railroad crossings for Charlton is be-
ing agitated among the citizens and
with more show of its accomplishment
than ever before. 1t is definitely un-
derstood that the railroad company
are decidedly in sympathy with the
idea and only need some little cooper
alton on the part of the citizens to as
sure the putting in of two and maybe
three underground crossings in Chart
tan where they are the most needed.
There is no question but that they
would be great benefit to the city
both in appearance and safety for we
have several very dangerous grade
crossings that should be protected In
some manner, more especially now
since the new high school building has
been built. There has been a meeting
of the citizens called for tonight to de-
eide upon the best manner in which to
proceed to secure the underground
crossings and it should be well attend
ed by all citizens who have the best
interests of the city at heart It will
be held at $3.50 in the assembly room
of the court house.
The regular Friday night band con-
cert was changed for the week only to
Wednesday evening owing to the ex-
pected absence from the city Friday

THE euBERNAToRlAL CONTEST

THE GUBERNAToRlAL CONTEST.
The contest for governor within the
ranks of the republican party may be
condensed and expressed in few
words:
The candidate who receives the NOM
ination must secure S21 votes. A dis
patch from headquarters at Des
Moines, says that at the present time
Cummins has 473, Hartman 4S, Trew-
in 40. Major Conger has an indefinite
number, that may or may not be in
creased according to circumstances. It
seems to be conceded that Mr.. Cum
Minis has worked out his friendly ter
ritory except seven counties and If
these are secured, it will be safe to
count on 600 votes for Cummins in the
state convention. These, however,
will not be enough to nominate, and
the convention may take up some new
man, or some one whose strength has
not been fully estimated and nominate
him. The all-absorbing question is:
Has Cummins reached the limit of his
strength?
Iowa republicans will be confident
and serene, and when the convention
takes place and the results are known,
everybody will say as usual and as
heretofore: why that was just the
thing to do" And the election re-
turns will show that the people APP
prove of the verdict.

that threat or is the editor Of the

George D. Perkins Friends-George
D. Perkins friends in the eleventh
district are, seemingly, rapidly on the
increase. Thousands of good repub-
licans in northwestern Iowa are begin
ming to feel that great injustice was
done a man who is in every sense rep
resentative of that section ard. who
was therefore entitled to the support
of that part of the state for governor.
A handful of selfish politicians in each
county has been pursuing Mr. Perkins.
There will be plenty of politics in the
eleventh district after this year and
Mr.. Perkins will not occupy the un-
comfortable position all the time. One
fails to see wherein the Lot Thomases,
the Helsells and the Abe Funks and
Jud Wellivers are either wiser or "pur-
er" politically than the men for whom
the Sioux City Journal has stood. The
publication of politics" by these "re-.
formers" will soon become joke even

Been Well Known,

Des Moines, June 21.-The position
taken by Senator Allison in reference
to the presidency and the stand that
Iowa should take when her time
comes is no surprise to those who
know Senator Allison well. 1t has
been generally known since early last
winter that Senator Allison would not
again permit the use of his name in
connection with the presidential NOM
nation, and that he considered Gov
ernor Shaw not only possibility, but
a reasonable probability.

PREVENTION.
The policy of the United States in
reference to Cuba will gain the sup
port of the vast majority of the peo-
pie Of this country. There have been
those who were impatient and radical
but the conservative administration
policy will win by inherent strength.
The situation as to Porto Rico and
the Philippines forms somewhat diff
ferent problem to that now nearing
solution in Cuba, yet as events pro-
gress and the policy toward all these
islands is developed, there will be the
same kind of satisfaction in the Phil
ippines as is now being expressed in
the West Indies. 1t is certain that the
wise course of the administration in
securing a sure foothold in Cuba has
disappointed certain European govern

ment. They will not now be present

A SEWER NECESSARY.

There is little question but the
sanitary condition of the public
school building would be most
desirably improved by the con-
struction of a lateral sewer which
would drain the school block and
afford sewer connection for the
water closets of the school
whether these be placed within
the building or remain outside as
at present. The basement of the
building is damp. and frequently
contains water after a heavy
rainfall, while portions of the lot
become almost marshy. With
out sewer outlet it is impossible
that the sanitary condition of the
closets is what it sh ould be.
While the existing conditions
may not be serious, they are

four hundred children and theil
teachers, a menace which is
bound to become more and ye,
more serious as the school increas.
