Among the latest aspirants for Il

Among the latest aspirants for the
democratic nomination for sheriff IS
Mr.. j. w. Horton OF Denison. He is.
making a nva OF the county and ex-
poets to keep UP the fight until con-
ventlon day. Horton is an anti-ringster
and unless there is a revolution which
Will set the democrats OF the county
tree from silver republican and D
list domination, he will not be nom
mated. Charles Galbraith is also at
work among his friends for the same
nomination and between them all it
look as if Bell would have to stir
lllmeslf and promise some new deputy
ships 1t he wants to win.
before we're the elements OF the
republican party in this county better
united. Crawford has pursued a wise
policy in keeping out OF the governor
ship contest and in harmonizing all the
elements OF the party. While other
counties are torn with ~factionalism.
Crawford is ready to support whoever
may be nominated at Cedar Rapids and
all the indications are for a large re-
publican gain in the county this fall.
Harrison county has held its county
convention and selected delegates to the
state convention. The delegates are
said to be anti Cummins. Mr.. Dewell
OF Missouri Valley was formally pre-
sented to the people OF this district
as Harrison county's choice for state
senator and he was allowed to select
his W delegation. The delegation
has not been announced. Mr.. Devil
is well known in the district, having
peer a candidate for the same position
at the last senatorial election. He is
the second candidate in the field. Mr..
E. l.. Hogue of Blencoe having the
support Of the Monona county delega-
ton. We understand that Crawford
county will also present a candidate
and thus the indications are for a pro-
longed fight in the convention. Harri-
son has IS votes, Monona II and Craw-
ford II. The contest will be a friendly
but interesting one.

IS FOUND UNFRAMED
Cruiser Cincinnati's Silver Service
Recovered at Norfolk
Navy Yard.

Washington, April 9-The handsome
silver service belonging to the cruiser
Cincinnati, presented to that ship by
the city Of Cincinnati, which has been
lost for the last two years and which
the navy department used every effort
to get trace of, has been found.
1t was entirely lost sight of for
many months and only recently was
the first trace of it secured through an
officer who had been on the Cincin-
natl when the Spanish-American war
broke out. In the rush of getting
ready for the war, the Cincinnati made
a hurried stop at the Norfolk navy
yard, where she stripped herself of all
superfuous belongings. Among the
articles unloaded was the silver ser
vice. In the hurry of the departure
10 receipt was taken for it. 1t was
stored away without knowledge of its
value, as the officers of the ship were
expected. to look after such possessions.
1t has been found intact and steps are
being taken to restore it to the ship.

TWO GIANTS
IN CONFLICT
UNION PACIFIC CLASHES WITH
CLARK'S PLAN.
LIVELY TIMES PROMISED
Montana Man Sends Armed Force
to Dispute Progress Of
Hartman Crews.

Salt Lake, Utah, April 9-Senator
W. A. CLARK and E. H. Hartman are
engaged in a mighty battle. They are
racing railroads between Salt Lake
City and Los Angeles, and tic feud
promises to be bitter.
Hartman has already begun to
build from the Utah end and CLARK
from the Los Angeles end, but the
former has the advantage Of over 100
miles of road already built to the
Nevada state line. Already $50
Union Pacific men are at work and
have laid two miles of track in Nevada
toward Los Angeles. They are taking
possession of the grade with tunnels
built by the Union Pacific l l years ago,
forfeited and filed on by the company
backed by CLARK. CLARK has sent a
force Of armed men to dispute progress
Of the rival tracklayers.
This sudden move on the part OF
the Short Line is the result of Senator
Clark's recent refusal to back down.
He was recently told by a representa-
tive of the Hartman syndicate that
"He would better realize what he
was up against; that he would be
fought to the end and shut out all
around If he persisted in building
from Salt Lake City to the coast.
Senator Clark is reported as reply
ing: do you know that I can buile
that road on two years income, and
what is more, that l will build it?'

kneeling on her fathers chest while a
second robuer was searching the vic
TINS pockets.
Miss Ramsaier was raising the gun
to her shoulder when one of the rob-
bers looked up, attracted by the noise
the girl had made in opening the front
door. "Look out. Bill, she's going to
shoot" he cried in warning to his
comrade, and dropping the watch he
had just taken from Ramsaier. vaulted
into the street. The second robbe1
followed him.

but the men escaped.

M'KENzIE MUST WAIT
President Will Not Act on
His Petition at
Present.

Washington, April 9-The president
will not act on the application for the
pardon of Alexander Mckenzie for
some time. He has decided that it
must be submitted to the judges Of
the court of appeals in San Francisco,
and he has directed the department. Of
justice to forward the papers.
McKenzie's friends hope that the
judges have repented imposing such a
severe sentence and will recommend
granting the pardon. Even should
they report adversely, it is not alto
gether impossible that the president
will override their decision.
McKenie's friends in the northwest
have 0 relaxed their efforts in his
behalf and every day kilograms and
letters from prominent men are re-
ceived at the white house and filed for
reference when the president again

day, had on board Captain Berry and
a crew of six men of the wrecked
schooner Erie, picked up last Sunday.

CAR MAKES
Them HAPPY
FRENCH IN TRANSPORT OF
JOY.
SENDS HIS FLEET BACK
Taken as Evidence That Alliance
Is Still in Full
Strength.

Paris, April 9-The unexpected re-
turn Of the Russian squadron eclipses
all of the other events Of the pro-
gramme at Nice. The, news is on the
lips Of everyone in Paris and JOY is ex-
pressed by both public and the press.
The intensity Of this qualification
shows that great numbers of French
men had treated with skepticism the
explanation that the withdrawal Of
the squadron was simply due to a de-
sire not to be politically identified
with the Franco-Italian demonstra-
ton. A section of the national press
has carefully fostered this impression,
pursuing a. policy of criticism upon
every possible opportunity to EN-
barrass the government. These organs
had asserted that the departure of the
Russians implied Dissatisfaction on
the part, Of Emperor Nicholas with the
Franco-Italian Impeachment, and
heralded the break up Of the Franco
Russian alliance. A brooding feeling
of uncertainty was thus created,
which broke like a spell before the
happy t1dlng OF the return OF !He
Russian squadron at Villa F1anche
and was transformed into expressions
of exultant joy.
The prevailing feeling this evening
was emphasized in the solemn dec
laration of LIE P1esse:
"It is with patriotic joy that al
Frenchmen learned today's great ant
glad news. The departure Of oul
allies had painfully impressed the
country. We are now happily reas
sure1. The joyful emotion of the PEG
pie of Nice is shared by all the patriots
No more convincing proof could b.
given OF the vitality and strength O
the Franco Russian alliance, which
had been declared mQribund somewha
too early" y

at Milwaukee.

Milwaukee, April 9-Edward E.

"Iron Brigade" shot his wife, about
10 years his junior, tonight at $40
South Pierce street and then COM
mitted suicide. The couple had Been

Gated condition. broke up the furniture
in their home and poured kerosene
