SMALLPOX WIPED OUT
NOT ONE CASE WAS REPORTED
LAST WEEK.

THE local health department is con-
graduating itself on what appears to
be complete suppression of smallpox in
ST. Paul. During the past week not a
case has been reported, while in the en-
tire city only two houses are quaran-
tined.
At the city pesthouse ten patients are
housed, but they have so far recovered
that their release is only matter of
a few days. Since the first of the year
the detention hospital has not been with
out a patient, but from present prospects
this unheard of state of affairs seems
imminent.

coNGER IN WAPELLo.

Ottumwa, April 16.-The sentiment
of republicans in this county with ref
erence to the governorship seems to
be to adopt waiting policy in order
to learn what action Minister Conger
will take with reference to the nomi-
nation, on his return from China The
sentiment seems to be that if Mr..
Conger allows his name to be used as
a candidate he will be the nominee. If
he declines to be candidate under
any circumstances, then there is a
strong probability that Wapello county
will present a candidate for the COVER
norship in the person of Maj Samuel
Mahon, of this city. Maj. Mahon is a
veteran of the civil war, is success.

to the present time Maj. Mahon has de-
clined to make any statement for publ
cation as to his intentions in this mat
ter.
Hon. A. w. Buchanan, present mem
Der of the legislature from this county
will undoubtedly be returned. The one
question still in doubt being whether
he will seek the nomination of the sen
ate or the house. There is some tall,

for the senate, in which case Mr.. Blu
chanan will be re-nominated and elect
ed to the house.

MALAYSIA ANTi.cuMMINs.

Oskaloosa, April 16.--It is very gen.
orally conceded in this meek of the
woods that Mahaska county will
send an anti Cummins delegation to
the republican state convention. If
Maj. Conger remains in the field, he
very probably have the delegation, but
at all events it will be anti Cummins.
Mahaska county will also be for Dewey
for supreme Judge. In fact, it looks as
if the entire sixth district will come
up smiling for the Washington county
man Tie mention of George w.
Sewers name for supreme Judge is
looked upon by the knowing ones as a
scheme to secure Cummins delega-
ton, as Sewers is Cummins man,
and also to defeat Dewey, but the
scheme will Idle a-holnin.' Mahaska
will have no candidate for state Of
flee in the way it looks now. There
has been little quiet talk that Maj
Lacey would be brought out as dark
horse, and of course the major would
have enthusiastic support. However
this candidacy talk is only problemat
ical as yet.
R. w. Clayton, the member of the
state committee from the sixth dis
trict, will be Candidate for state chair
man and will have the cordial and en-
thusiastic support of the delegation
from the county and sixth district
There is already great deal of tigur
ing being done as to county candi
dates.

LUCAS POLITICS.

Charlton, April 16.-Politics in Luz
the past few days. The republican
primaries will be held June T. The
condition of the roads has precluded
the idea of candidates doing much
campaigning, but with the advent of
better weather the voters may expect
to have many callers seeking political
preferment, as there are plenty of can
didates in the field.
The surprise of the present cam
paign was the announcement of the
candidacy of S. B. Merrill for repre-
sentative as against r. A. Masselquist,
the present incumbent, the unwritten
law being to give an Office holder a
second term. Mr.. Merrill, however, is
making an active canvass and his
showing at the primaries is anxiously
awaited.
There are seven candidates for the
Office of sheriff. and it is here that the
, interest of the general public centers
as all are strong candidates.
Five candidates have made their ap
pearance for county treasurer, and
there never was better field from
which to pick the winner. All of them
are fully competent to fill the office
should any of them receive the nom
| nation.
| But two candidates are announced
for the Office of county superintendent
but there is a strong possibility that
two more will make their appearance
before the date of the primary.

PoWEsHIEk SOLID.

Grinnell, April 16.-There will be
scarcely any opposition to A. B. Cum
Minis in Poweshiek county and none
has yet developed toward Judge Dew
ey. Dewey's judicial district takes
in Poweshiek and he is very popular
here. The county convention will not
be called until the state call is issued
but the county central committee is
solid for Cummins; many of the old
Gear leaders are now Cummins men
and politics here will be nothing but a
Cunamins love-feast. We have no To-
cal candidates for state offices.
1t is said that the former conflict OF
authority of convention instructions
over primary nominees, which saw
shis county in the senatorial contro
versy Cummins county with Cum
minis instructions represented in both
senate and house by Gear votes, will
be avoided this year by holding the
convention first.

DECATUR HARMONIOUS.

Leon, April 16.-The farmers of De.

ed and prosperous than they are at the
present time. Harmony prevails
among the republicans and we are
confident of electing our entire county
ticket next fall by an increased ma
jority. Discussion of the personnel
of the state ticket is largely confined
to the candidates for governor and SUI
preme judge. This county is over
whelmingly for Major Conger in case
he is candidate. Sid Foster is quite
popular and has strong following
Mr.. Cummins has some admirers, but
he will not cut much of figure in our
convention. Judge Horace NJ. Town
er is the only candidate mentioned for
supreme judge. He is exceedingly
popular and will lead the ticket in
case he is nominated. 1t is probable
that DR.. B. l.. Eiker will be renomit
mated for representative by acclama'

LOCAL BRISK IN kEokuk.

Sigourney, April 16.-The politics of
keokuk county outside of local ma
ture have not taken on very brisk
gait There is no pronounced prefer
ence for governor. Hon. John Henri
oft was in town yesterday interview
ing some of the leading republicans.
He seems to be held in great respect
and esteem by the republicans here
and no doubt will receive portion of
the vote of the Keokuk county delega-
ton at the state convention There
seems to be some feeling over the
sixth congressional district and more
especially Keokuk county that should
there be wrangle in the convention
over the nominee for the governor
ship many of the foremost republicans
would like to see the sixth district
congressman, Major John F. Lacey
nominated as compromise candidate.
For supreme judge Keokuk county
will in all probability be for A. R.
Dewey, of Washington. Keoluk and
Washington counties are in the same
judicial district and will go to Dewey
as complimentary vote. In the
event that Richard G. Barrett would

FOSTER IN CLARKE.

osceola, April 16-Clark county re-
pubicans will enter the campaign this
year with confidence and enthusiasm.
The majority last fall was nearly 500
over all-larger than any time during
The past fifteen years. The primary
election was tried last year and will
be adopted again this year. 1t has
harmonized the party factions and al
most entirely cleaned away the jeal-
ousy and animosities raised during
the old delegate system. This county
will give its undivided support to Sid
Foster for governor, as long IS he has
chance to win. The second choice
would probably settle on Perkins OF
Conger. 1t will also give Hon. H. M
Towner of this district hearty sup
port for the judgeship. There is nc
pronounced choice as yet among the
other candidates. Hon. M. L. Temple
will run for representative to succeed
himself A competitor has entered
the lists in the person of Supervisor
Jacob Crowley, who will contest Mr.
Temples denomination. 1t is very
likely that last years record in which
every republican nominee was elected
will be duplicated again this fall.

QUIET IN RINeeoLD.

Mt. Ayr, April 16.-Politics in Ring
gold county are exceedingly quiet.
Owing to the wretched condition of
the roads few party workers over the
county have been in town, and but lit
tie politics are being discussed The
only interest felt here in the state con-
vention is on supreme judge. Hon.
H. M. Towner, of Corning. has, been
in our district bench for nearly twelve
years and he is universally admired
and respected over the county, and
has numerous friends who desire to
promote his interests. Ringgold coun.
ty and the Eighth district, as welfare
enthusiastic in supporting Judge
Towner. and the feeling is general
that other political preferences, on the
goyernorship and other state officers
should be waived If ii is for Towner's
interests SO to do. All of the candi-
dates for governor have friends in the
