Shaw, Allison and Cousins Will
All Speak in Marshalltown
Oct. 28
BOTH AFTERNOON AND EVENING
County Central Committee Labored
Hard to Get Governor cummins, But
State Committee Refused Because
cummin. Was Needed More Greatly
Elsewhere.

After weeks of constant negotiating
the county central committee has been
promised speeches from Secretary
Shaw, Senator Allison and Congress
man Cousins all on Tuesday, october
2Sth. The committee has labored since
last July to secure Governor Cummins
but everybody this year wants Cum
minis both in Iowa and outside and
the state committee has decided to
send him into the districts where cam
paigning is the most urgently needed.
However the Marshall county commit
tee was SO persistent and so insistent
that the biggest guns" of this years
battery were promised in order to salts
fly them, hence Secretary Shaw, Sen
ator Allison and Congressman Cousins
will appear here on the same day.
Thousands will come to see and meet
the grand old man from Iowa who tells
presidents what to do and who for thlr-
.ty years has been running the United
States government. Secretary Shaw as
a member of President Roosevelt's cab
met is one of the foremost statesmen
of the country today and can make
a speech which few statesmen in this
or any other age can equal. Con-
gresham Cousins will appear at his
best with one Of his captivating cam
paign speeches. If he does as we'll as
he has already done in other parts of
Iowa during the last few days his
companions will have to look to thei,
laurels lest he leave one of them the
lesser light of the three. The speaking
will take place in the Odeon theater.

IDENTIFIES THE GOODS.
Knives Found Under Bromley School
House Belong to Lot Stolen from
nana&

Zearnig Depot.
Deputy Sheriff Hutson returned
Thursday evening from Bromley where
he was called Thursday to investigate
the finding of a few knives under the
porch of a school house south of Brom-
ley 1t was surmised that the knives
might be portion of the lot stolen
from the sample trunk of Louis Goette,
Of Milwaukee, a salesman for the John
Pritzhoff Hardware Company, and such
proved to be the case. Mr.. Goette iden-
titled the property. and from the indi-
cations at the school house it would
seem that the thieves had rested there
to assert the plumber, and that the four
knives found had dropped thru a crack
of the porch, unknown to the thieves.
Deputy Sheriff Hutson obtained a very
good description of the men and thinks
that If he had been notified earlier he
might have had a chance of apprehend-
ing the thieves. AS the robbery occur
red in Story county the officers here
were not notified until the find was
made in this county. Even now, how
ever. the officers feel that they may be
able to accomplish something.

BE HOG PLAGUE
Soldiers Home Hogs Stricken With
Strange Malady-Ten Already Dead
and Others sick-Lunss Become
Affected But There Are No Cholera
Svn,ntonns

The state may lose a number of its
w s2rs herd of swine that is kept at the
Iowa Soldiers Home, and which has
been a large source of revenue. Ten
Iof the animals are already dead ana
others are sick, as the result OF a
strange malady that is pronounced by
some to be what is known as the
swine plague"
The first symptoms of illness among
the herd were noticed about two weeks
ago. but nothing has been said of the
matter, those having the hogs in charge
Feeling that perhaps the disease would
not assume very serious proportions.
Taylor Myers, who has charge of the
herd, is somewhat worried, however
and he feels the responsibility more
keenly because of the absence from the
city of Col Horton.
A number of the dead animals have
been examined and found to be in
a sound condition with the exception
of the lungs. They We're badly con-
gested, the blood being clothed and
greatly discolored. The bowels, which
are always affected in cases of cholera,
had the appearance of not being aft
fected in the least. The swine plague
lis said to be very contagious, equally
las much as the cholera.
Chairman John Cownie, of the state
board of control, was notified of the
condition of the herd Thursday at In
dependence, and he is expected to ar
rive this evening and will look over the
animals with the idea of recommends
ing some action. Mr.. Cownie is prac-
!tical farmer and stock raiser and he
may have had similar experiences to
deal with before.
