state. All state, congressional, judicial
and legislative nominations must be
filed with the secretary Of state at least
/ thirty days before the election. A goo!
many Of the judicial nominations and
some of the congressional nominations
have not yet been filed. The democratic
committees have been very negligen,
and Indifferent. The democratic std

nominee in opposition to Ihorneli,

Charles S. Macomber is playing a lone
hand against Church and Powers. In
the Eighth district, where Judge Wade
now presides alone, there is sharp
contest on between Milton Re mley and
Otto Byington, both of Iowa City. In
the Seventh judicial district bar noml-
nations have been filed and the names
az Judges Wolfe Bollinger, House and
Jackson go on the ballots as by petit
tion. In two other districts this is prac-
itically accomplished in the same way,
isIudre Snythe In the Twentieth and
Nudge Bank Of the First having been
Nominated by the democrats and no re-
pupllcan opponents having been
placed In the field. In the Eighteenth

Republicans nominated Treichler. Roth

state in which the republicans are not
united in support of the nominees of the
rarty. The republican candidates in the

4 The executive council has not yet de-
cided what to do with the portion of the
| Chicago & Northwestern railroad which
runs past the town of Moingona. the
old lineb eing partly abandoned when
the cutoff was made across the Boone
viaduct.The railroad company desires it
to be treated as a siding. But in fact
1 il is used as a branch line in order to
hold the right-of-way. 1t would not
matter much to the state how it is
treated but it has local bearing. The

siding. At the same time Boone county
as a whole loses three miles of North
western by the short cut. The taxpay-
ers along the old line want it assessed
for something. at least. and it probably
will be assessed, but on very low
| basis.
The seepage tanks for the new sew
er system at the Mitchelville industrial
school for girls are now nearly COM
4 pleted and the new system will be in
operation in a few days. The work will
be done at Davenport next and then at
Mount Pleasant, and all three of the
systems will be in operation before win
ter. The board of control hopes that
these new plants for the disposal OF
sewage at the state lHSlltutloHS VIII
prove highly successful. The state has
cong been bothered with the problem
of drainage at these places and the
board has let the contracts at what are
considered most favorable terms.
Information comes here that Con-
gresslnan Rumple is slightly improved
in a Chicago hospital. that he is now
able to be up and about the hospital
and that he believes he has almost re-
covered from the recent attack OF pneu-
monia which threatened his life. His
, other ailments are yielding to treat
ment and he may yet return to active
business life and see many years OF
prosperity.
