cUMMINs NsAoAINSTTHEFIELD
Which Latter Ia I'm a Combine to Bea {
CummIns If Possible.

Cedar Rapids, Ia. Aug. Cum
minis against the field. and the for
tunes OF the field in the absolute con-
troll of a steering and sitting commit
tee, was the situation in Republican
political circles here last night. The
| committee is composed of two repre-
| sentativeS OF each candidate for gov
ernor with the exception Of ClImmins.
The determination Of the candidateS
for governor TO make a common fight
against Cummins was reached yester-
day morning in conference that
lasted from an early hour until noon.
1t was decided to force the contest
first or all before the committee ON
credentials, where the opposition TO
Cummins hopes 10 take from him
twt-nty-six votes. There are three
contests to come before the committee
involving in Jackson county 16 votes.
in Carroll county 10 votes and in Polk
county = votes. The contests are all
against the Cummins men, and a
mighty effort will be made to unSeaL
them. The makeup of the credentials
committee is still in doubt. the oppo-
sition TO CumnIins claiming seven out
OF eleven members. while the Cum
minis people claim four with excellent
chances of getting two more.
The makeup of the committee is
not of prime Importance. aS no mat
ter how the contests are decided in
the committee room they viii be
brought before the convention in the
shape of majority and minority re-
ports. and right here will come the
tug of war that will reveal the full
strength of CumminS and that of
those who are against him. IL is ad
mitted by both sides that the winner
OF the fight on the report of the ere
dentialS committee on the floor Of the
convention viii name tie next Re
publican candidate for governor.
DeS MOines. Ia, Aug. G.-All of the
counties having held their conventions
the friends Of \. Il. Cummins claim
about $50 votes already secured for
the first ballot i'm the state convention.
More conservative friends of Cum
Minis candidacy claimed 40. Ii takes
S2l TO nominate. Cummins' managers
profess TO be confident that they will
be able to secure the margin of forty
or fifty votes necessary, in their Opin- |
ion. TO effect a nomination on the first |
ballot

When about $50 meters mp in the
air the young aeTonaut discovered that
Il too jealous workman had securely
knOtted the cord that controls the guide
ropes which controls the plane of di-
rcction of his air ship. Before he
could liberate this cord. as the guide
rope was catching in the trees of the
Rois de BoulOgnc. he had to sacri-
flee all his ballast in order to get clear
Cf the ground. or rather Of the tree
tops. Under such conditions he did not
care TO venture over Paris. where a de-
scent might have become unavoidable
owing TO the lack Of ballast. These
little drawbacks, however. are of
minor Importance. and simply delayed
the official attempt to win Mr..
Deutsch's prize. What NJ. Santos-Du-
mont has achieved iS in itself quite
sufficient TO convince the most skep-
teal that he i master of his direc-
ton while I'm the air.

To this latter detail NJ. SantOs-Du-

there seem TO be common sense in his
contention. but ii is also in accord

Origin OF oman.

In Oriental countries women are gen
orally regarded as the interiors of men,
yet, according to Hindoo legend. this
Is the proper origin of the sex: Twas
tri, the god Vulcan of the HindoO
mythology, created the world. But ON
his commencing to create woman he
discovered that with man he had ex-
hausted all his creative materials, and
that not one solid element had been
left. This, of course, greatly per-
picked Twashtri, and caused him to
fall In profound meditation. When he
arose from II he proceeded as follows:
He took the roundness Of the moon,
the undulating curves OF the serpent,
the graceful twist Of the creeping
plant, the light shivering of the grass
blade and the slenderness Of the will
low, the velvety softness of the flowers,
the lightness Of the feather, the gentle
gaze Of the doe, the frolicsomeness of
the dancing sunbeam, the tears OF the
cloud, the Inconsistency of the wind, the
timidness Of the hare and the vanity
of the peacock, the harness of the dia-
mond, the sweetness OF honey, the
cruelty Of the tiger, the heat of the
fire and the chill of the snow, the
Cackling OF the parrot and the cooling
OF the turtledove. All these he mixed
together and formed woman. Then he
presented her to the man.
