Des Moines, Nov. 22.-The story sent
out from Vinton to the effect that Con-
gresham Cousins would have opposl-
ton two wears hence and that Major
Whipple, of Benton county, was being
eroomed for the race, has set the
tongues of the political gossips to wag-
ging and the correspondents for dem
ocratic papers are furnishing slug
heads" by the yard. Already they have
announced in the Sioux City Tribune
and Minneapolis Journal that besides
Whipple are Representative B. +. Cum
mings. of Marshall county. and KEEP
|resentative Kerr, of Grundy county.
The Journal man says: Mr.. Cum
mings has announced his candidacy to
succeed himself in the legislature and
it is expected he will come out later
as a candidate for speaker. Merritt
Greene, of Marshall. who is candi-
date for the state senate, is also saiu

position for the senatorship, as Charles
Eckles, a prominent republican OF Mar
shall county, is announced as a can
didate for the place.
Regardless of the congressional sit
uation which is considered by most
politicians here as mere buncombe at
this time the speakership in next Win
ter's legislature is attracting some at
tention.
The fact that George w. Clarke, of
Abel, Dallas county, is sending out let
tiers seeking support for the speaker
ship Of the house, has drawn attention
to this office. 1t is well known that
Representative N. w. Kendall, Of Mon
roe county, wants the speakership and
has pledges from several old members.
Several others are mentioned for the
place including Mark j. Furry, of Hard
in county, Cummings, of Marshall and
Gilchrist, of Pocahontas. 1t is under
stood an effort will be made to settle
the matter without contest, as all
the leading candidates are Cummings
men and the factions leaders do not
want to see a fight in their own ranks.
1t would not be surprising If Mr.. Ken
dali were induced to run for the SEN

Marion and Monroe counties. How

Jury Finds Him Not Guilty of
the Murder of Isaac
Finkelstein
VERDICT GENERALLY APPROVED
Jury Was Out All Night and Took Fiji
teen Ballots-Two of the Jurymen
Held Out for conviction--Story of
the Circumstances Surrounding Kill
ing of Finkelstein.
Special to Times Republican.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, Nov. 22.-The jury in
the Levich murder case acquitted the
defendant this morning. The verdict
was received with general approval,
as the state had not made a case. 1t
is reported two of the jury stood fo,
conviction all night, but the others re-
manned firm for acquittal. Fifteen bal
lots were taken. Levich will proceed
against witnesses for perjury.
The Levich murder case has occu-
pied the center of the stage here for a
week or more. The circumstances sur
rounding the murder made this easy.
Isaac Finkelstein had been a leader
among the Hebrew republicans. He
was promised a place under the present
city administration and did not get it.
He believed honestly that the admins
tration had made compact with the
gamblers to allow them to continue in
business upmoleSted on payment OF
much money. He set out to compel the
gamblers to close UP or to pay over the
fines to the city. He compelled a
crusade against them. He was bitterly
denounced by the gamblers and by
some city officials. There is no doubt
of the intensity of feeling against Fink
elstein. Then followed his murder at a
time when it was known that he was
preparing to proceed with impeachment
proceedings against the mayor. IL was
impossible to escape the conclusion
that the city administration was di-
rectly or indirectly responsible for his
death. The arrest of Harris Levich
and John Walker did not change the
feeling. The trial brought out plainly
that there had been much more feeling
between Levich and Finkelstein than
had been supposed. But there was also
a feeling that the state had fallen just
little short of making out a complete
and perfect case against Leyich.

Northwood's Mad Dog Scare

Northwood, Nov. 22.-There have
been several well developed cases of
rabies in Northwood in the past week.
Two calves, the property of Mrs, A.
G. Dahl. and Mrs. j. c. Johnson, had
to be killed. Both had refused to eat
for several days and both had devel-
oped unmistakable symptoms of the
rabies. They became frantic and We're
restrained with great difficulty. G. p.
Christianson's black spaniel dog was
shot Sunday morning, after being sick
for two or three days. Mr.. III. l.. Oh
son had COW sick with some disease
and many believe that it is rabies
while others contend that it is not.
All these animals are known to have
been bitten by dogs that are now be-
iieved to have the hydrophobia. The
matter is becoming serious. No one
knows how many animals have been
bitten. The greatest danger is from
dogs and cats. Cattle become frantic
and show a disposition to goar people.
but 1T is easier to avoid them than
it is to keep away from cats and dogs
that have the disease. If the scientific
writer's are to be relied upon, it will
be fully eight months before the dan
ger is past, even tho no more animals
are bitten
