GILL WILL DICTATE
PATRONAGE NOW
Reign Of Hanna at an End--For'
aker People Preparing for q
Raid on the Post
office Jobs.
BY JAMES T. KENNEDY,
(Staff Correspopdent)


Carrollton, Feb. 5.-This village is in
the throes of a postoffice fight. Post
Master McCoy's term expires first of
March and there has been an effort to
set him aside and give the place to
another. Judge John H. Trip, who Is
over fourscore years of age, and who
indirectly through his son held the Of
flee for fourteen or fifteen years, was
the first to make a try for the place.
He was an especial favorite Of Presi-
dent Mckinley, and since his chief Is
dead, he found that new crowd was
manipulating matters and very little
encouragement was offered him.
Tripp is the editor of the Carroll
Free Press. There is much bitterness
between the two rival Republican
sheets in this place, so that when H..
r. Kemerer, editor of the Carroll Re-
publican, announced his candidacy,
Trips watchword was anything to
beat Kemerer. 1t is reported that he
has decided to withdraw and throw all
his influence to Mccoy, the present
postmaster, rather than see his rival in
business succeed.
FORAKER FEUD CROPS OUT.
Mccoy has been working hard to
succeed himself He and his friends
are not resting any between rounds. II
appears, however, that the gang of To-
cal politicians who are for him are the
ones who have always been against
Congressman Gill. On the other hand,
Kemerer has the backing Of the fellows
who made Gill's nomination possible.
Mccoy is the Hanna candidate and
Kemerer is backed by the old Foraker
crowd. This is the line upon which all
fights divide in Carroll county.
The outcome of the fight will De
watched with more than usual interest
all over the state. as 1t will be posi-
bly, the first test as to who is in the sad
die riding next to the administration at
Washington. Hanna has been appeal
ed to. Copies have been sent to him
containing criticisms of him and his
methods.
HANNA AS A DICTATOR.
Kemerer had ripped up Charley Dick
a few times. Dick is not any more
popular down here than he is in Stark
county. He was ignored in the last
campaign by the local leaders. He Is
thought to be uniting with Hanna to
compass the defeat of Kemerer.
Mark Hanna dictated every postoffice
appointment in Carroll county four
years ago. Congressman Danford's
wishes were ignored. 1t is said that
all these appointees will be lifted and
new men appointed. This has been
done at Dell Roy against the protest
of the Hannaites. 1t is said others are
slated for the guillotine. The contest
has become national in its character
and 1t is said that Gill is not inclined
to listen to any outside dictation as to
how he shall partition out his patron
age.

The bill creating the nentralized dis

children to school has been reported
favorably by the committee consisting
Of the Stark county delegation, so the
crowd that is opposed to the bill .suf-
fers that handicap. Unless stopped
where it is, the bill will pass, for the
remainder of the house will not inter
fere in local fight of that sort.
The first to appear on the ground was
J. w. Taylor, a prominent New Balti-
more merchant, who favors the bill.
Then came the opposition, consisting
of A. s. Newhouse, ]. w. Hisey. a local
squire and Delbert Reed, all able-bodie,l
citizens.
Then the ball opened.
1t was agreed that a meeting should

Representative Metzgar wanted joint
meeting but Newhouse objected. He
didn't want to have anything to do
with aylor and said so plainly.
Senator Wilhelm was unable to be
present so that meeting adjourned
Then came d. M. Nieswonger, q staid
old citizen, to reinforce the Newhouse
party. A meeting was then arranged
for p. M. Senator Wilhelm was again
detained and Representative Pollock
waited for awhile and left. Only
Representative Metfgar remained. He
heard the Newhouse side of the ques-
tton alone. in the judiciary committee
room of the senate. The session was
very friendly but Mr.. Metzgar declined
to go on record in the matter till he
had heard both sides. He will hear Mr..
Taylor and it is possible it will be ne
nessary to have a Joint session.
At 1915 o'clock the conference end
ed. 1t will be renewed on sundry occa-
sions till the bill is disposed Of, which
will not be for three or four days. -

ECZEMA$
ITOH IS TORTURE.

Eczema is caused by an acid humor in
the blood coming in contact with the
skin and producing great redness and in
aammation little pustular eruptions form
and discharge thin, sticky fluid, which
dries and scales off sometimes the skin is
hard, dry and 6ssured. Eczema in any
form is a tormenting, stubborn disease,
and the itching and burning at times are
almost unbcarable; the acid burning
humor seems to ooze out and set the skin
on fire. Salves, washes nor other exter-
nal applications do any real good, for as
long as the poison remains in the blood
Il will keep the skin irritated.

WOMEN ATTACK IOWA SALOONS
Denounces Legislature for ignoring
Right of Petition.

The action of the house of repre-
sentatives at the last session of the
general assembly in turning down the
petition to allow the suffrage question
TO go before tie people was again
strongly denounced by the convention
of the Iowa Equal Suffrage association
in resolutions adopted at Des Moines
yesterday.
The resolution declared that the
constitutional right to petition leg
islative body was absolutely ignored
by the committee on amendments to
the constitution and suffrage, in that
the petitions showered upon them
from all parts of the state asking that
the question of equal suffrage be re-
ferred to the people for vote were
unheeded. The action of the senate
in passing the resolution was com
mended.
Other resolutions We're passed by
tie convention expressing the regrets
of the Iowa association at the death
of Elizabeth Cady Stanton. They re
joiced in the healthfulness of the SUI

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
OBITUARY..
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

James A. Chisman, son of Curtis and
Ellen Chisman. was born at the old
home near Bidwell, Wapello county,
| Iowa, July II, 1864. Here he grew to
manhood and was esteemed and re-
spected by all who knew him. At ten
years of age he was convinced of sin
and its destructive power and under
the innuence of this consciousness he
gave his heart to God BY the re-
demptive power of the blood of Christ
he became heir to the glory
world. He then united with the Chris
| tiansburg M. e. church, of which he
ever remained constant and faithful
| member.
Having reached his twentieth year
he became impressed with desire for
| higher development OF his mental
powers, and sought to crafty this
| longing by entering the Iowa Wesley
an University, at Mt. Pleasant. Here
he pursued the course laid down and
after four years of persistent work was
graduated with honors and given the
degree of Bachelor of Arts. Again in
1891 he received the honors of the in
stitution in the form of the degree
| Master of Arts. While storing his
mind with useful things he also devel-
oped in soul power and often in after
life spoke of the godly influence of the
university.
BY the qualities which made Mr.
| Chisman man of effectiveness he
won the heart and hand of one of the
lovely maidens of his youthful ac--
quaintance, Miss Mary Springer, with
whom he was joined in marriage on
March 8, 1892. For one year after this
happy union they lived in their home
neighborhood. Then they moved to
southwestern Nebraska, where they
spent five years. But in 1898 they re,
turned to Iowa, and have since lived

Government by Injunction.
Government by injunction so
called, is in reality judicial anarchy.
This is an issue that ought to be dis
cussed. You remember reading about
a fellow citizen, John Haddow, who
went to West Virginia to make speech
es. Now the constitution OF the
United States and of every state in
the union guaranteed him the right
OF Tree speech, yet he was thrown into
jail on an injunction. Major Lacey
made an application TO the President
for a pardon for Mr.. Haddow, and it
was granted. None of you will be-
lleve he was guilty of any crime, other
wise the congressman would not have
asked for a pardon. Government by
injunction is the worst evil the peo-
pie have to contend with and it ought
to be abolished.
Trusts and Tariff.
You have heard the tariff defended
many times, you have heard it pro-
claimed as the only means of raising
revenue. The republican party de-
tends the tariff for the protection of
infant industries, notwithstanding the
fact that these infant Industries have
gone together and formed big indus
try. Notwithstanding the fact

blossomed out and grew to
