Smoke from Far Away Fires.


Chicago, Sept. 16.-The far north
vests forest fires, thousand or more
miles away, rolled curtain of cloud
over Chicago all day yesterday. The
SUMS rays in early morning came fil-
tered thru pink film. and later on the
whole sky took on the appearance of a
cloudy fall day.
NJ Weather Observer Cox said the upper
air currents for many hours had been
moving from the direction Of Washing
ton and Oregon, where the fires are
raging; and acrrying with them such
volumes Of smoke that a pail Of 1t
hangs over the entire country between
here and the Pacific coast. Reports OF
such "a condition have been received
froM Duluth. st. Paul, Minneapolis,
Moorhead and other towns thruout the
northwestern states. Mr.. Cox says that
but for this condition the weather yes
terday would have been clear, and
points out that the sun, instead OF be-
ing hidden, as by clouds, could be dim
IL seen all day thru the smoky veil.
It is to the same cause that the
weather man attributes the thermome-
iter's failure to get above ga degrees.
The weather department had warm
wave scheduled, but the sun expert
enced so much difficulty in boring thru
the minute particles Of charred vegeta-
ton that they failed to produce their
expected effect.

ARE MAD IN HARDIN.
Much Dissatisfaction With Henderson
Senator Joe Wallace a Possibility.


Special to Times Republican.
Union, Sept. 18.-It is surprising wha'
general feeling has come to light
opposition to Henderson now that 9
withdrawal has opened the whole + "
ject. Leading republicans in this aprt
of Hardin county and up towar6 wa
Falls are heard damning HeI. fson
and insisting that they would not have
voted for him, any way. There seems
to be no specific charge, but a general
with his course as a
congressman. The fact that the man
has drawn aloof from the people of his
district has overcome all district pride
in the honors he has won as speaker
of the house. AT first republicans were
disheartened that they should be de-
serted at so late date, but now they
are mad and the whole affair may serve
to inspire such political activity among
the republicans as will sweep every
thing before them.
Senator Joe Wallace of Eldora is the
favorite Of every Hardin county citi-
zen. His record in the state legislature
was such as to commend him for great
er honors. The fact that the east end
OF the district has held the honor for so
many years has made the western end
feel that it is time to pass around the
persimmons, and in that case Wallace
would present strong claim. How
ever, Hardin county is in line with the
Iowa idea of republicanism, and may be
depended upon to return a larger vote
for the republican nominee, whoever he
is, than it would have given Henderson.
