second place as to the final score, also
beat the army record by 80 points.

AS soon as it was announced at
Washington that President Roosevelt
intended to make a visit TO the west
ern part of the country. citizens OF OF

the purpose of getting him to visit this
city. The services of Hon. Leslie M

of Hon John F. Lacey, We're enlisted
end they have been successful in Sc
curing q promise from President Roose-
welt to include Ottrmwa in his timer
ary. He has even gone farther and
has made arrangements to hold an ev-
ening meeting here. Republicans of
the city ard the public in general are
glad to know that Ottumwa is assured
OF a visit from SO prominent man,
and he viii be met at the train when
it arrives by the majority of the inhab-
itants OF the city as Americans honor
ing an American, not as members OF

turn out enmasse to dc honor to tn

The American Book Company has
been granted a charter and is now
auth orized to do business in Kansas.
Cranes next move will be to get their
contract with the state cancelled. To
do this he will have to show that it
was obtained by improper methods.
The belief is quite general that large
amount of money was used in secur-
ing these contracts, and this suit may
possibly clear things up and show
smoke or not. Gaines, who published
the charges against the company, has
been notified to either take back what
he has said or stand libel suit. He
will probably crawfish, as it is not
likely that he can produce the evil
dence. If it exists. it is the property
of some fellow who may want it in his
business little later on.

According to the Kansas City Star,
a paper which has always been con-
sidered friendly to the republicans,
the recently-issued republican cam
paign book is something of a boom
erapg. 1t denounces trusts and
points with pride" to the record of
the party, the Sherman law and the
more recent utterances of president
Roosevelt on the subject, and then
goes into a lengthy defense of The
com binations of otherwise &c
called trusts. This is much like
drawing whiskey and beer from the
same keg, and goes to show how little
sincerity there is in the pretense OF
trust war in the republican ranks.
Here is an official hand book issued
for the purpose of letting the party
orators know how to meet the ques-
tions before the people. and it is sc
arranged that one can give a man a
good trust or antitrust talk from the

The republican state committee of
Alabama has adopted a resolution
providing that "only those shall be
recognized and be permitted to par
ticipate in the state and county con-
ventions and be present at meetings,
who are duly qualified voters under
the new constitution of Alabama. "
Inasmuch as the new constitution of
Alabama, recently passed, practically
disfra nchises the black vot.. of that
state, this resolution of the republi-
can committee virtually endorses the
action of the trainers of the new law,
and emphasizes the contention that
the negroes are regarded by the re-
publicans only as a source from
which to derive bountiful supply OF
votes, and when that source should
be done away with, the negroes would
thenceforth lose all standing with
that party.

Boies left the city last Thursday for

he attempted to ford Muddy creek

banks and was drowned. Phis MORT
