Democratic Congressional Nomi-

Col. A. L. Sorter was born in Union
township, Johnson county, Ia, July
Is, 1867. His education was received
in the district and ward schools, and
up to the time of Cleveland's first ad-
ministration was laborer and gro
Gerry clerk. During that administra-
ton he was appointed deputy post
master at Iowa City but declined to
accept because it would displace an
old soldier who needed the position.
He was later appointed to position
in the railway mail service. In 1890
he resigned to engage in business
which he continued until the break
ing out of the Spanish-Americsn war.
He was commander of the Iowa d.
vision OF the Sons Of Veterans in
1S95-96. At the close OF the Spanish
war he started the national memorial
movement and may be regarded as its
founder. lie Is mem e. of a nu n,

ofCol. Sortor:
/ The nomination of Col. A. L. Sor-
tor of this city, as the candidate Of
the democracy of the district for con-
gresham, was not surprise. 1t is
for what the Col. has done and is ca
pabie of doing that the nomination
came to him SO unanimously. He has
made monument for himself far
greater than that ever comes to con-
gresham, in the splendid achieve
ment of the national memorial uni
versity. The republicans cannot and
will not view this nomination as OF
only passing Importance. Col. Sortor
is one of the most prominent men In
the district. He is only IS years OF
age and is growing in strength and
popularity all the time. He ha,
many friends among old as we'll as the
young soldiers and the support that
will come to him from these elements
of strength may be surprise to those
who are not in touch with the true
situation. He is a finely educated
young mao, although colleges and uni
versities were not within his reach
Few men in the country possess the
broad information of Col. Sortor. He
was graduate of grocery store and
the mail department of the railroads
He has always been in the closest
touch with the people. He has {
warm, genial side, is a natural mixer
and is sort of a party by himself
In this campaign there is bound to be
some innovations before Col. Sortol
concludes his campaign. OF course

meet him in a joint debate. Possibl!
this can be arranged. Col. Sortor'
popularity in this district is some
thing that will bear close watching

A second railroad accident resulting
in the death of DEBORAH people with
in short time occurred at DEBORAH
last Wednesday, when Charley Har.
grcaves, son OF John Hargreaves
was run oyer by car in the Milwau-
kee freight yards. The train had
just been switching preparatory to
making an evening run to Calmar,
two sections of the train remaining
on the main track. The boy attemp-
ted to make coupling there but in
some manner slipped and fell beneath
the moving cars which severed one
leg between the thigh and knee, and
cutting the abdomen so as to expose
the intestines. Doctors we're called
at once, but an examination proved
that he was injured so severely that
death was but question of time. He
lived but few hours after the acct
dent, but was conscious nearly all of
that time and talked freely about it.
