SOCIALIST STATE POLITICS.
Party Convention Will Not Be Held IL
OttumWa,

A report has been sent OFT from
Des Moines to the effect that the
branch of the socialists in this city
were making an effort to secure the
state convention of that party, but af-
ter investigating this report it is found
to be false The local socialists are
not affiliated with the state body and
thus would have no chance of secur-
ing the meeting for this city. The So
cialists believe in the submission of
any question to a direct vote of all
those interested in the form of a refer
endum, and hence the local members
of the party would not be able to draw
the convention to Ottumwa against
the wishes of the partisans in the
other cities.
Davenport is after the meeting and
wants it for Sept. 2, Labor Day, as Eu-
gene V. Debs is to speak there at that
time, and the socialists of Davenport
wish to take advantage of that occa-
sion to have the state convention of
the party there in order to give as
many as possible of the members of
the party an opportunity to hear him
speak Des Moines is after the meet
ing for July A, and Marshalltown is al
so making an effort to secure the
event The matter is now pending be-
fore the several branches of the party
in the state and will probably be de-
cided upon in the near future.

Clyde Morrow Thrown From MiIWau.
kee Train.

Clyde Morrow, a young Ottumwa
boy, who resides at 302 West Second
street, met with an accident Tuesday
evening that might have resulted IA
tally. He was riding north on Mil
waukee freight train and when the
train stopped at Hayesville he got off
to talk to some of his friends he saw
standing near the station. The train
started before he had noticed it, and
in trying to jump on, he was thrown
violently against a. cattle chute. The
train was stopped ard the trainmen
went back expecting to- find him dead,
but it was found that although he was
badly bruised, he was not fatally injur-
ed. The Injuries were dressed and the
boys father, F. M. Morrow, was sent
for who brought him back to this city
yesterday where medical attention
was given him. It was found that he
had Ssustained. four severe cuts on his
head. one above the right eye being
particularly ugly. 1t was necessary to
sew several stitches to the. wounds.
The young. man is now improving and
it is not thought that any OF his in
-juries will prove serious.

CIRCUS is POPULAR.
The People Are Quick to Endorse the
Biz Circus Institution.

The great Wallace Circus, which
will be in Ottumwa on Thursday, June
26, has been doing phenomenal bust.
ness this season. Most of the places
it visits have been visited by the Wal
lace Show almost annually, and it is
because of the familiarity of the pub
lie with the excellence of the Wallace
Circus, that such crowds attend it.
Under the circumstances liberal pat
ronage is the highest possible recon.
mendation for this show.
The real worth and merit of the
great Wallace Show have taken such
a hold upon the public that it seems
nothing can restrain people from at
tending its performances. 1t is com.
mon thing for this show to play to
crowded tents every day, and nothing
unusual for it to turn thousands of
people away from ten of the twelve
performances every week. Another
pleasing thing to the management OF
the Wallace Show is the fact that as
its crowds dispense after the perform.
