moNoNA OPPOSES cuMMlNs.
Refuses to Endorse the Des Moines
Mans Candidacy.

Onawa, July 1.-THE Monana coun-
ty republican convention held here to
select delegates to the conventions
was quite a lively body. The conven-
ton was called to order by c. B. Mar
tin, and w. l.. Day, of Castana, was
elected temporary chairman, and A. w.
Burgess secretary. Twelve delegates,
all but one opposed to Cummins, were
elected to attend the state convention.
There was an attempt made by ]. R.
WEIGH, the Mapleton banker, to in
struct for Cummins, but the PROPOSE
ton was rejected without being put
to vote The convention was the
liveliest held here in fifteen years. A
hot contest between Dr. Griffin. of
Mapleton, and E. NJ. Cassidy, of Whit,
ing, for representative, resulted in a
victory for the former by vote of
89N to 1917. Considerable feeling has
grown out of the fight. The delegates
elected will oppose Cummins as long
as there is any show to defeat him.

men insisted upon an election. When

the demand was made
The delegates opposed to Cummins
then withdrew and held another con
vention. 1t contained majority Of
the delegates, counting the contested
ones. Neither side had a majority OF
the convention without the contrasting
delegations, and there is much bitter
feeling all over the county. The first
convention endorsed Cummins, and the
other convention selected anti-Cum
Minis delegates. The state convention
will decide the rights of the contest

FIGHT TURNS TO MuscATINE.
The Senatorial Delegation Will Not Be
Instructed.

Muscatine, July 13-The fight in the
Second district is now on in Musca-
tine. With Jackson out of the
way, Muscatine comes next in
chronological order, the county conven-
ton being called for one week from to-
morrow All indicatins point to a
Cummins delegation.
1t is not likely that the delegation
will be instructed or that it will be
solid for Cummins. If unit rule is
adopted in the convention with the
mo proxy" system so much in vogue
this year the county will be given to
Cummins absolutely.
Jackson county influences Musca-
tire very little. Had Jackson gone
against Cummins Thursday instead OF
for him the result in this county would
not have been changed.

TWO MEN EXPIRE.
Overcome BY Poisonous Gases While
Cleaning Vault.

[From Fridays Daily.1
Poisonous gases, inhaled into the
lungs, brought about the death OF
Fred Smith, Jr., and Charles Garrett,
two young men employed by the city
as scavengers. The accident occurred
at 12:45 o'clock this morning, and
Garrett's death was almost instanta-
neous. Smith revived, and seemed to
have recovered from the dire effcts of
the poison, but in few hours his condi-
ton became worse, and despite all
that medical skill could do for him,
he grew worse steadily until $50
o'clock, when he passed away.
How the Accident Occurred.
The two men were cleaning vault
in an Clubhouse at the rear OF Mrs.
Martha Connelley's boarding house,
1901 East Main street, when Smith
was suddenly overcome by the poison
GUS gas and tainted, falling into the
vault. His companion FASTENED to the
residence of Mr. Smiths father, Sr.,
located on Cherry street, half block
from the scene of the accident The
men in the boarding house were also
aroused, and in few. minutes help
was at hand.
Garrett Sacrifices His Life.
Mr.. Garrett. not needing the risk he
was running, but thinking only to save
the life of his companion, went to the
rescue of Smith, and attached rope
to his body in order that he might be
pulled out of the vault. The rope was
broken owing to the extraordinary
weight of Smiths body, and Garrett
was compelled to remain in the foul
air longer than was safe Finally he
too, succumbed to the effect of the poi
son and tainted.
Dies Instantly.
The two men were finally brought tc
the surface and into the pure air, but
Garrett was beyond human aid. Drs
l d. C. Brockman and M. Bannister hat
arrived on the scene by that time, anc
did everything that could possibly bt
done to relieve the unfortunate man
but he died Immediately after reaching
the surface.
Smith Lived Several Hours.
Meanwhile Mr.. Smith had apparent
|ly been restored to his normal condi
ton. and was sent to the home of hi
father, on Cherry street. 1t wa
thought that the effect of the poison
had been neutralized so far as immed
late death was concerned, but it wa
feared that it might cause pneumonia
which is often the result of exposur
to such gases. Drs. D. A. and w. T
LaForce were in constant attendant
upon him, and took every precautiol
against evil results of the accident
About four o'clock this morning the pc
tient had a violent chill, and his cond
ton grew worse until he died at S:9
o'clock.

TOO MANY WEDDINGS.
Numerous Promises to Marry Caused
Clarinda Man to End Career.


Clarinda, July 12.-The cause of the
suicide of Thomas J. Rogers, who shot
himself at this place at his wedding
hour on June 26, has come to light.
Rogers had promised to marry two
different girls, one at Clarinda on the
day he shot himself and another at
Clearmont, Mo-, one week later. He
was in a sort of quandary and con-
cluded no doubt that the only way out
of it was to kill himself. Rogers boast
ed, it is said, that he had been engag-
ed to seventeen different girls. He
had planned an extensive honeymoon
travel including a trip to Yellowstone
Park At the time of the young mans
death his total assets was $14. The
fact that Rogers had too many we'd
idings planned was factor no doubt
| in driving him to suicide.
