Burlington. July 22-The Des
Moines county Republicans met in con-
yention here Saturday afternoon and
selected twenty-three delegates to the
state convention at Cedar Rapids. The
delegates are solidly antiCummins.
but go uninstructed, as no instructions
Were considered necessary. There is
no question that the entire delegation
will vote as unit against the Des
Moines man. The entire proceedings
occupied only fifteen minutes and were
perfectly harmonious.

CROP BULLETIN.
No Relief Is Given by Weather
Bureau.

Des Moines, July 23.-The week If
forded no relief from the excessive
heat prevalent the preceding week and
larger part of the month. The past
two weeks have broken all previous
records of sustained high tempera-
lures for so long period in this state.
The mean at the central station has
been So degrees, and the average of
maximum temperatures about 100 for
the fourteen days. Numerous stations
report 107 on the Goth and 21st, and
one station 100 on the 21st. During
several days brisk to high winds blew,
but the hot winds have not been so
high and destructive as in July, 1894.
Some mitigation Of the torrid condition
was afforded by scattered showers IN
portions of the eastern and north cen
trail districts, but the drouth has not
been broken. The reports indicate
that early corn in the tasseling stage
has suffered material damage in all
parts of the state and especially in the
southern and eastern ! districts. Late
planted corn on deep, rich soil, IS
showing much less injury, and copious
rains within week would brighten the
outlook for about three-fourths of the
crop. The extent of acutal loss can
not be estimated at this time. Har-
vesting small grain crops is nearly
completed. and threshlng is in pro-
gress. Pastures, potatoes, apples and
garden truck show continual deterior-
alton.

manufacturing business many years.
Until few months ago he was part
ner in large factory at Carrollton.
Mo. He sold out his interest there,
and has been looking for a good loca-
tion for new factory since then. Keo-
kuk. in the southeastern corner of the
state, is being considered by Mr.Biggs
as possible location. That town,
however, is only forty miles from Bur-
lingtcn, where the big John Burg and
Orchard City Wagon factories are To-
Gated, each doing heavy business,
particularly on the territory that a
keolluk mandatory would depend on
for its business. Quincy, Illinois, has
also been considered by Mr.. Beggs,
and that town is offering big induce
ments to get him there Neither of
these places, nor any other of the
three. or four that Mr.. Beggs has in
view has advantage to compare with
Des Moines.

MUscATINE is FOR cUMMlNs.
Convention, However, Declined to In
struct the State Delegation.

Muscatine, July 22.-The republican
county convention Saturday chose a
Cummins delegation. The opposition
was in the minority, but two townships
which We're anti-Cummins attempted
to get a man on the delegation. The
committee shut them out because they
would not pledge themselves to Cum
Minis.
When the list of delegates was re-
ported motion was made that it be
not accepted, but before the motion
was seconded another was made aud
carried adopting the report A sire &
Cummins man made motion to adopt
a resolution which would have endors-
ed Cummins. This was voted down,
3 to J.. The committee on delegates
was known to be Cummins men and
it was left to them to see that the op-
position had no place on the delega-
ton. 1t is thought the position of ev-
cry delegate was determined before he
was put on the list.

WORKED THE FARM HANDS.
The Sioux City Employment Bureau IN
Wholesale Buncoinu.


Sioux City, July 23.-The Chicago
Milwaukee and ST. Paul general offi-
Gals are working on a unique conspir-
acy between Sioux City employment
bureaus and Milwaukee brakemen
which has cost the road thousands of
dollars in car fares and hundreds of
laborers have been ouncoed out of 81
bills which the employment bureaus
are industriously repaying to those
who make claim.
The employment bureaus, alleged 10
be Werden Bros. and the Fraternal,
run by Keller & Johnson, offered I'M
limited jobs to men for harvest fields
in South Dakota. The victims paid 81
for the job and for free rides by spe-
cial dispensation from Milwaukee
brakemen, to the scenes OF their la
bors. The jobs were not provided at
the other end but the victims were
well out of Sioux City. The Milwau-
kee road discovered that swarm of
men had been loaded into some en-
PITY box cars going in the Dakotas,
found that brakemen had taken half
dollar per head for the men they let
ride and that the employment bureaus
had the other half dollar for the price
of the job. The deadheads We're driv-
en- out of the cars, the employment
men arrested and the brakemen will
be discharged. 1t is thought that
scores of brakemen may be implicat-
ed in the deal

FRIENDS IN NEED.
An Old Soldier Finds Them Sunday in
Ottumwa.

lFrom Mondays Daly.i
Stranded in a strange city, without
funds or friends was the condition in
which Alfred Barrier, an old soldier
whose home is at Delaware, Ohio,
found himself yesterday. After stat
ing his troubles to the authorities he
was assisted by them and by this time
he is in Charlton, being cared for by
relatives.
The story the old man told to Chief
of Police John w. Gray was sad in The
extreme. He arrived in Ottumwa yes
terday without even a centin his peck
ct, and trudged slowly from the Union
depot to the police station, carrying a
worn, old fashioned valise in which
we're stored all his remaining posses
sions. At the police station he re-
counted the story of trip hundreds
of miles long, a story which brought
many expressions of sympathy from
the lips of those who are used to see.

stances and who seem to become

single horse to light spring wagon

miles west of Indianapolis, Indiana
when the animal was overcome by the

| After this unfortunate event, Mr.
Barrier disposed Of his wagon and har

terday knew nothing of his relative
pitiable condition. The old man wal

Cleveland, A great many Iowa men,
aside from delegates, have been plan
ming to attend the Cleveland encamp-
ment, but apparently the railroads
have pooled and refuse to even consid-
er any propositions to carry the Iowa
people at reduced rates. lnasmuch as
the encampment was taken from Den
yer and placed in Cleveland on the
ground that no rates had been secured
for Denver and the Iowa department
was strongly in favor of going to Den
Yer, there is much i'll feeling over the
report and unless rates are granted
speedily but few Iowans will attend
the encampment.
