NEW STAR FOR FLAG.

The single statehood movement for
Oklahoma and Indian Territory was
put in practical shape at the conven-
tion which has just been held at Mus
cogee, l. T. The greatest unanimity
and enthusiasm prevailed among the
delegates of the two territories. A
committee was appointed by thu con-
vention consisting of three residents of
each territory to urge legislation from
Congress this winter in favor of the
union of the two in state, and the
states admission before the coming
session of Congress ends. A year ago
single statehood for the two territories
had powerful opposition in both of
them, but the union idea seems to have
been accepted since by the people of
both with practical unanimity.
OF course, there is no deficiency in
either population or wealth in this
case in the region affected. Each nf
the two territories had, by the census
count of 1900, almost 100000 inhabi'
tants, Oklahoma's total being 39S,000.
and Indian Territory's $4,000. The
gain of each-544 per cent for Okla
homa, and III per cent for Indian
Territory-was notably rapid in the
decade, that of Oklahoma breaking all
records among American communities
for that length of time. Adding to the
natural increase in both territories the
accessions of population which have
come to Oklahoma through the recent

the building Ct the Nicarausan canal
, was farm8l'v signed on Monday by
Secretary Hay, for the United States,
and Lord Pauncefote, British amb1 ssa-
dor, for Great Britain. This treaty is
intended to replace the first Hay
Pauncefote treaty. From a due sense
of courtesy which must be observed
towards the United Stetes senate,
wherever r,eaty is concerned the
state depar;emnt is estopDed from
making public the text of the new con-
ventiOn, and officially that will remain
a secret until the senate itself shall
break the seal of confidence. 1t is
known, however, that the compact pro
vides that the canal may be construct

reCtly at its own cost, or by gift or
loan Of money to individuals or cor
portions or through subscription to

SAID GOOD BYE.
Mrs. G X. Todd CompIImented by
Ladies' Missionary Society

The ladies of the Woman's Foreign
Missionary Society of the Central
Methodist church surprised Mrs. c. E.
Todd Tuesday afternoon at her home
on Third avenue east. They came to
pass the afternoon with her IN a sort
.of goodbye reception, as she departs
in a short time for her new home in
California.
The ladies to the number Of about
thirty met at the residence of Mrs. c.
3. Stull, on First avenue, and proceed
ed to the Todd residence in a body.
The affair was a total surprise to Mrs.
Todd. Mrs. G. e. Barnard, in behalf
Of the society, of which Mrs. Todd has
been an active and earnest member
presented the lady with a handsome
souvenir spoon, bearing an engraving
OF the Central Methodist church and
the letters w. p, M. s. and the date.
Mrs. barnard led in a prayer that will
he remembered by everyone who heard
it. Then followed a social, during
which some one suggested the song,
Wen Never Say Goodbye in Heaven. ,
and the same was sung with will
The afternoon was made complete by
the photographirg Of the company.
Mrs. Todd has been an ardent worker
with the ladies' OF the church and the
vacancy that her departure creates,
both in the work Of the organization
Of which she has been an integral part
and in the hearts Of friends and asso-
ciates, will be impossible to fill. Con-
siderable feeling was manifest in the
good-byes that were said as the ladies
took their departure, and the occasion
will stand forth in the history of the
society to be a day ever remembered
by every one who participated in the
| events of the afternoon.
Mrs. Todd leaves the city IN a few
days to make an extended visit at the
home of her mother and with her sis
ter in Knoxville, after which she goes
to the new home in Los Angeles for
| permanent residence.

Davis county is lketY to get the
Tippecanoe banner. Major Fleming
has been watching lha returns. Du-
buque county shows a loss of 81 per
cent in the Republican vote on the
head of the ticket from last year,
but Davis beats it with less of only
% per cent. Other counties are yet
to hear from, but this is probably the
smallest loss in the state. Four years
ago Decatur county managed to sus-
Tain loss OF only per cent from the
presidential vote of the previous
year; and four years before that time
there were three counties that
actually showed a gain from the
previous presidential vote. But this
year every county shows loss.

everyone does not know by what 4
narrow opportunity Mr.. White got
there.
It was in the summer He was about
to join his wife at Colorado Springs
He thought he had written advance
editorials enough to carry along his

foreman came in, glanced it over and
aunornc9d that there wasn't enough
editorial copy.

"and I'll manage to get aIong. -

into his chair. He though a few min
utes. dashed off the vigorous para
graphs handed tH~m to the foreman
and was off for the train.
When he returned he found his dosk

his farm in Richland township and
who will in the near future remove
to Nebraska to engage largely in the

at his residence Thursday, Nov. IL
with M. Porter as auctioneer. The
crowd was large and the bidding
spirited and every thing sold well.
The total for the sale was a little
over 1880, greater share of which
was paid in cash. Among the prices
obtained were COWS from s36 to s43,
yearling steers average S26.50, spring
calves average s15 90, yearling heifers
averaged $50 90, brood sows from
$3.50 to $500, corn In crib brought

-Sully Ledger: The work done by
the Hon. John F. Lacey in the recent
campaign, and the result Of the vote
in the district, makes him the logical
candidate to succeed himself in con-
gress at the election to be held next
year. AS a speaker he was more in
demand than any other member of
the Iowa delegation, and his itinerary
took him into almost every congress
sioDal district of the state. In the
estimation of the party workers of
his own district he is stronger at this
time than he ever was before, and it
will not be surprising, when the time
comes, if he is again e-nominated
by acclamatton as his own successor.

The origin of the name Of the
town on coast of Alaska called Cape
Nome, heretofore q mystery, has
been explained on a very simple
hypothesis. 1t turns out that Nome"
is draughtsmah' mistake for name.
1t is not on Russian charts, but ap-
peared first on British admiralty
charts of 1858. When the manuscript
chart of the region was being con-
structed on board the BnItisn snip
Herald attention was drawn to the
fact that this point had no name, and
a question mark was placed against
it thus: (? Name.) The interrogation
point subsequently became bIotted
and was mixed in by rough draughts-
man as &C." Name was read Nome,
and thus Cape Nome got on the chart
and has remained there ever since.

BRIDGE TIMBERS.
Iowa Central Soon to Place Orders for
More Material.

In order that no delay may be ex-
perienced next spring in the building
operations and improvements along
the line of the Iowa Central, Purchas-
ing Agent Wing will let contracts
shortly for 10000 pieces of large
bridge timbers, either of yellow pine
or Washington fir, to be used in build
ing trestle bridges during the season
of 1902.
Thirteen hundred pieces of addition
al white oak piling, for trestle renew
ais, will also be purchased, the entire
amount of bridge timbers being enough
to make a shipment to this city of be-
tween IS and 100 cars.
The timbers are to be shipped here
early enough in the year so that they
can be distributed to the portions of
the line where they are wanted by
April 1, when the work will be com.
menced for the season.
All indications point to the fact that
the Central will do more improving on
it's property next season than 1t has
this year, and this season has seen
more improvements In every way than
has ever been accomplished before In
! the history Of the company.

The Indianola Herald reports this
flattering endorsement OF Governor
elect Cummins by Warren county
after it bad previously turned him
down: at is generally known that
Warren county at the primary cleo
ton cast a majority vote against Mr..
Cummins as a candidate for governor,
fourteen out Of twenty precincts 60
ing against him for the nomination.
At the state convention he was made
the nominee of the party, and at the
recent election every township and
ward in Warren county gave him a
plurality vote; the first and only
candidate that ever accomplished
that feat. We are not fully informed,
but are of the opinion that it is the
only county in Iowa giving every
precinct for Mr.. Cummins."

BOSTON STORE FIRE.
Flames, Smoke and Water Do
Considerable Damage.

A fire started in the Boston Store
on First av, nue. west about two o.
clock this afternoon and considerable
damage was done by fire and water.
The fire started in the rear part of
the east room on the second story
where the surplus grocery stock was
kept. The flames started in pile of
goods near a stove pipe that passed
through the room from the first story.
The smoke and the blaze was soon
discovered but it could not be put out
as water had to be carried in buckets
from the first floor up a flight of
winding stairs. These stairs hinder
ed quick action and then the smoke
became so dense that the men could
not enter the room.
An alarm was turned in immediate
ly and the response by the depart
ment was upon the instant. The
building was near the fire department
but the flames gained a hold SO
quickly that chemicals were of no use
in putting out the fire, and water
was thrown.
The fire was confined to the one
room of the second floor and COM
paratively little damage was done by
the fire. Smoke filed the whole
building, however, and did much
damage to the stock in the front part
of the building. The damage done
by water will be even greater than
that by fire and smoke.
There is ample insurance for the
covering of all damage done.
