Allison Says Tint Iowa Should Send Shaw
Delegation in 1904.
Des Moines, Ia, June Ex-Governor
Shaw received a letter at 2 p. m. yes
terday from Senator William B. ALI
son in reply to the telegram sent last
Saturday suggesting the name of the
senator for the presidency. The letter
is purely a personal one, the governor
states, and he does not desire to make
the entire contents public at the pres
ent time.
The governor admitted that the SEN
ator stated in the letter that under no
circumstances would he be candi-
date for the presidency, but assured
Shaw that he was in favor of him be-
ing a candidate, and believed that the
state of Iowa owed 1t to the governor
to support him and send delegation
to the national convention to that end.
He further stated that he believed that
the delegation could be easily secured.

the mass of tangled wreckage of the
flood were swept helpless men, women
and children
The little town of Keystone with
population of about 500, seems the
greatest sufferer, practically the en-
tire town being washed away. This
town is the principal one in the Poca-
hontas coal fields and Is located near
Its center. 1t was to great extent
headquarters from which the mining
population purchased supplies and
was also the only place in the field
where whisky could be purchased. At
this place there We're some twenty-five
to forty saloons, all Of which were
washed away but one. The report
comes that the mining population are
now occupying the banks of the
streams below, catching the merchan-
disc and barrels Of whisky and beer
as they float down.
A great number of the coal and coke
points throughout the Pocahontas are
reported practically destroyed, and are
in some instances entirely washed
away. AT Landgraf the beautiful
home of General Manager Ord is re-
ported gone, but his family is said to
be safe. Between Elkhorn and Vivian
yard 100 cars are said to be washed
from the tracks, and many of them
were carried down the streams.

were compelled to walk distance Of
eleven miles from that place to the
small town of Ennis. where they were
enabled to get Il train for this city.
