BOONE is AROUSED.
Inausurates Campaign to Retain
HEADQUARTERS of the Choppers.

Boone, Aug. 21.-This city has at
last become aroused over the prospect
that it may lose the headquarters of
the order of Fraternal Choppers of
America and has instituted q campaign
for the largest membership of any
lodge or city in the order. Chopper
camp No. l now has an associated
lodge, Northwestern camp No. 100,
which was organized last night. The
membership embraces the names of
some of the best men of the city, which
means that the order now has as strong
backing as any of the older orders.
The managers are +. {. Jordan, w. w.
GoodykoontZ and j. j. Smell. There
has been some disposition here to fee!
that the talk of losing the headquarters
was for effect only, or that if it was
in earnest the plea for membership in
Boone Des Moines and Sioux City was
nothing less than an undignified hawk
ing about the state of the headquarters
and this is resented. 1t is felt that the
headquarters of the order will not be
secure anywhere so long as mere num-
bcrs will affect the location, and that,
therefore, the thing is not worth the eff
fort.

Nomination of Hoffman Please the
Folks at Home.

| Special to Times Republican.
Muscatine. Aug. 21.-There is great
| PREDICTING here over the nomination of
William Hoffman, of this city, by the
second district republican convention.
Arrival of the special train carrying the
Hoffman club and Muscatine delegates
last night was the occasion of a great
demonstration, the news of the nomi-
nation having been telsraphed in adj
vance. 1t is planned to hold a public
reception in Hoffman's honor in the
near future at which it is probable all
the leading men of the party in the dis
trict will be present
William Hoffman, of Muscatine,
ranks as one of the ablest attorneys
in the Second district. He is q law
yer and not Il politician and if he is
elected to congress it will be the first
time he has held a political office m his
life. He was born i'm 1915 in Germany.
His parents came to America when he
was an infant and settled first in Phil
adelpflia. In 1852 they came to Iowa
to Muscatine county. Later the family
removed to Grand View i'm Louisa
county. There young Hoffman passed
his younger days, going to school and
to the Grand View academy and ac-
curing an unusually good education
for one of his years. At IL he left
school to enter the army. He enlisted
in Company G; of the Nineteenth Iowa
in 1862 and served thru the war. He
was discharged in 1865, having been in
all the battles in which his regiment
engaged and carrying with him three
bullet wounds. All these wounds were
sustained in a single action in the
charge of his regiment al Prairie Grove
There Mr. Hoffman was struck on the
head by Il mimic ball, in the right leg
by a buckshot and in the neck by an
other bucllshot Such is the modesty
of the man that few but his most init
mate friends know of his sears and he
tells of receiving them only when asked.
Hoffman WAS admitted to practice in
1872 and located AT Muscatine He has
been in the continual practice of the
law since that time. He was first Il
member of the firm, Hoffman, Pickler
& Brown. and then of the firm, Bran
nan, JAIME & Hoffman. He has taken
little interest in politics, AT least has
not allowed politics to interfere with
Ms iSs9"t business. re lidS lpl pteil q
and has refrained from
seeking office.
Mr. Hoffman has a beautiful home in
Muscatine. He married a Miss Irene
a lady who is native of
Ohio. They have a family of five sons
and one daughter. Two of the sons are
graduates of the state university, one of
the law and the other of the collegiate
department.. The daughter is student
of the university

chosen by Acclamation.
Burlington Aug 2i.-The democratic
convention of the First Iowa district
nominated John T. Craig, of Keokuk,
for congress by acclamaton
No other name Was presented to the
convention and the action was viva
voce and With much enthusiasm.
The convention vas called TO order by
Chairman Harper. and p. Il. Bocren, of
Fairfield. and II. T. Rockwell of Farm
ington We're chosen chairman and Sec
Rotary of the permanent organization.
The surprise of the convention WAS the
report of the resolutions committee.
y fight had been expected in
the committee on the question of re-
affirming the Kansas City platform.
When the report was read it WAS seen
that the committee had successfully
steered clear of the danger by ignor-
ing the matter altogether simply PIN
ming the faith of the district to the
democracy of Mr. Craig. The report
is as follows: The we'll known fidelity
of the Hon. John Il. Craig to demo-
cratic principles and his answering
loyalty to that party and its platforms.
at all times, is sufficient guarantee to
this convention and the democracy of
the First district of Iowa that we
deem further resolutions unnecessary.
MIR. Craig is a straightout silver
democrat. ard it is not probable he can
win back many of the gold men who
in later years have been read out OF
the party.
The following district central COM
mittee was selected: Des Moines, j. p
