beautiful piano donated by the Tuffree
Music Store to bestir herself among her
friends. Young men who have young
lady friends in whom they have es-
pecial interest should remember that
delays are dangerous and see that their
candidates are counted among the
seven whose candidacy will stand.
There will be no more extensions of
time and on Wednesday noon June Is
all candidates with the exception of the
seven for whom the most votes have
been cast, will absolutely be dropped.
OF course re-entries will be permitted,
but they will be considered precisely
as new ones.
AT the last meeting of the carnival
company it was unanimously decided
that the candidacy of any of the
families, sisters, wives, ETC., or of in
innate personal lady friends or frances
of any member of the carnival company
would not be considered or allowed in
competition for carnival queen and pos
session of the piano. While this action
may, seem somewhat arbitrary the car
nival promoters think it due themselves
and the public to put the company
above suspicion. They wish it distinct
.ly understood that this contest is alb
solutely fair and aboveboard. Conse-
quently no candidacy of any member Of
the family of any member of the COM
pany or the lady friends of any member
will be permitted. Votes cast for such
candidates will receive no considera
ton at the hands of the committee The
voting public need not fear that any
member of the carnival company has a
personal interest in the outcome of the
contest outside of the desire to see the
most popular young lady win the piano
so generously donated. Their decision
against their own families and friends
is in the hands of the business mems
committee appointed to count the votes
and who will be guided by It's provi
sions.
1t is time for the contestants and
their friends to get into action for the
grand prize. The piano is on exhibl
ton at the parlors of the Tuffree Music
House. Examine it there. Some young
lady who has friends to aid her will
POSSESS it. 1t is purely question of
votes and the votes are to be had for |
the asking. Many young lady has
friends who will be glad to assist her
# she shows a desire for such assist
ance. There i'll but one week left in
which to make the canvass. You'll |
have to hurry

FLOOD SLOWLY REcEDING.
Water is Ora dualIy Going Down-Re-
ports of Additional Losses in Timber
az


Creek.
The water of the Iowa river and the
flooded district are slowly receding, now
being about three feet lower than when
at the highest stage. The fall is about
at the rate of one foot every twenty -four
hours All day Sunday the river bridge
and levee road were crowded by thou
sands of spectators who came to view
the sight The Cation and Longnecker
families, who reside on the low lands in
the vicinity of the river, returned to
their homes Saturday. Reports of
losses still continue to come in from
the Timber Creek township, neighbor-
hoods that suffered so heavily from the
hail storm of the early part of last
week. Later reports indicate that the
damage done by the hail was even
worse than at frs announced. Farmers
living in the town.'!ip say that on many
of the farms the crop of small grain Will
be an entire loss and on others they
will not be able to harvest more than a
one-third crop. The standing small grain
on the farms of Ben Wilkey. Andy Mill
bird Charles hunters, Ole Anderson,
Frank Youngreen, Ben Jansen and Ben
Cole was beaten down or entirely cut
off by the storm. In places the hail was
so severe that the bark was knocked
from the trees. Additional losses to live
stock by the lightning are reported.
Charles Burks, of Timber Creek, had
two head of cattle killed and Mrs. Rob-
inson, of the same vicinity, lost one
horse and two calves. The storm belt

assault, preferred by Henry Simons, an
old man who rents apartments of Lur-
vey. The trouble, as appears from the
evidence, was the outgrowth of mis-
understanding regarding the ownership
Of some fruit on the Lurvey place.
Simons rents three rooms in the second
story of a house owned by Lurvey on
the farm. He considered that as n
tenant he was entitled to the fruit in
front of his living rooms. When Mr..
1.urvey came to take charge of the
fruit Saturday afternoon Simons OBJ
jccted stenuously and. armed with a
stick, attempted to compel pickers to
leave the cherry trees. Mr.. LurveJ-
tried to wrest the stick from Simons
and in the struggle Simons fell, with
iturvey on top of him. The evidence
showed no intent at assault on Mr..
Lurvey's part and Mayor Jones dis
missed the case.
Violates City Ordinance.
Harry Steinberg, a vender of peanuts
and fruit on the street corners, was
placed under arrest Saturday afternoon
by Deputy Marshal Cochran for violat-
ing the city ordinance regarding ped
ding without license. He was taken
before Mayor Jones and fined $40 and
costs. He paid the costs today and was
discharged.
Shillato Bound Over.
John Shillato. who, with Paul Radloff,
was arrested Friday afternoon upon
charge of larceny, in stealing 500 from
Frank Hrnicek, was bound over to the
grand jury in Justice Burritts court
late Saturday afternoon. The young
mans bonds We're placed at $500, the
same as fixed in Radolff's case, and he
was committed.

toXication this morning. Daniel Cole.

Weaver. was discharged upon payment
o. the costs, and c. j. White. another

nival Company for ticket of admis-
sion to the carnival of June 80 to July
6 and which Secretary LaShelle will
be glad to honor by issuing the ticket
at once upon presentation of the Or
der. The lucky boy who marks tho
flight and descent of the balloon and
is first on the ground to secure tho
order will be sure of an admission
to the carnival grounds with it's at
tendant wonders or if he chooses may
take it's value in carnival queen tickets
for the voting contest now under way
Boys will do we'll to oil their bicycles
and be prepared to race the balloon to
a finish. Beside the valuable prize
there is all kinds of fun in the race
not only for the contestants but for tina
spectators. Everyone should turn out
and enjoy it. The balloons will ascend
promptly at 8 this evening.
During the remainder of this week
and continuing over the week follow
ing the carnival company has decided
to send up four balloons daily each
with an admission order attached. Two
will be released at 2:30 p. m. OF each
day and the other two at s in the even
ing. There is all kinds of fun and
profit ahead for the boys There will
also be crowds of older people to
watch the balloons and the boys and
enjoy the sight. In other cities where
the balloons have been released under
similar circumstances the attraction
has drawn monstrous crowds. The
probabilities are that the court house
square will present the appearance OF
a band concert evening tonight between
seven and eight o'clock. There will
certainly be a warm contest among
the boys.

LACE CURTAINS
There is Way to Wash them
without Rubbing Lace to
Pieces.

Lace curtains of any degree of fine
ness simply will not stand the ordinary
process of washing.
There is a proper way to wash lace
curtains and the first requirement is to
get carton of Beach's Peosta Soap.
Soak the curtains while you do the
breakfast dishes, in luke-warm water,
after having rubbed Peosta Soap thor
oughly over them.
When you have finished the dishes,
souse the curtains in the suds and the
dirt will fall out.
After rinsing thoroughly, according
to directions given with each cake of
Peosta, hang the curtains full length
to dry, or better, dry in a curtain
stretcher.
You never saw such whiteness.
Your money back any time you are
hot satisfied with Peosta.

NEGRO SCAR ED WHITE.
Strange Effect of Terror on the Black Caok of am Eastern Sail-
 ing ship.


 Fear of death in the midst of a storm which threatened to send, the schoon- CT Fred A. Small to the bottom is said to have changed Herm Blanco, full blooded negro, into white man. The change lasted three days. Then, so the story goes, Blanco's, natural color asserted itself once more, and he re- stunned his place on shipboard as a man of ebony, reports the New York Mall and Express.
 "I had heard of a negro turning white from fright, " said Capt. z. R. Thomson, of the Small, ''but it was4he. first time T ever saw such transfor- nation. Ordinarily Blanco is as black as night, but while the storm lasted he was almost as white as snow"
 In a wrecked condition the schooner came into port the other day, and was lowed to dry dock. Three weeks ago she left Valparaiso with cargo of wood, birds and monkeys. Six days later she ran into a severe storm. For four days and nights her crew was kept on deck On the fifth day topmast and bowsprit went by the board All this time Blanco, the cook, is said to have grown whiter and Whiter.

VIRGINIA TO OHIO AFoor.

PlucIky Young Couple to Walk All
 the Electromagnetic Refused.
 BALTIMORE, Aug. 4.-To walk from Richmond, Va, to Dayton, O., is the task set by young couple who left here yesterday. They stated at the office of the superintendent of charities that they had eloped from Dayton four months ago and had gone to Washington, where they were mar ried. This part of the story was sub stantiated by the marriage certificate which they exhibited. From Washing. ton they said they had gone to Rich- mond, where the young man had se- cured employment as conductor on a trolley. Then came strike, and the husband lost his position. His lungs were not strong, and they decided that he would be better off in Dayton, es- pecially as there did not seem to be any way of making living for him. self and wife in Richmond, whereas he is confident of securing employment in Dayton.
 They had very little money and de- cided to walk, and they started out, heading for Baltimore as one of the stopping places. It had taken them four weeks to get here.
 The officials refused to give the names of the couple, but said the man was twenty-seven years old and his wife seventeen. They declined to ac- cept transportation to Dayton, but were provided with shoes

He of the ssTxiI1 and Burn" Order Si- lent on Retirement.
 SAN FRANCISCO, Aug 4-General Jacob H. Smith, who returned last Fri day from Manila, will spend several days in this city and then go to his home in Portsmouth, o. Speaking on the subject for the first time since his arrival, General Smith said of his forced retirement from the army:
 Ut was an unwelcome surprise to me. naturally supposed that would receive reprimand as a result of the verdict of the verdict of the court mar tial, but nothing more. I have always tried to do my duty in conscientious manner and conduct myself as a sol dier. I am still in the governments service and not at liberty to discuss re- cent personal occurrences. I could be as readily court martialed now as if were not on the retired list.
 ''I am feeling first rate; never better in my life Tn fact, was with the Twelfth and Seventeenth before was promoted. I spent most of the time I was in the islands in and around Sa- mar. I always tried to do what seemed best for the service in both districts. The natives of Luzon seem considera- bly, more civilized than those of the islands. Some of those in Samar are nothing but savages and, of course, cannot be treated like civilized people. They all would resort to most barba- rous methods of warfare at times. h. stances of the torture and slaughter of American soldiers are very numerous. Any one of my commands knows that they were not unduly severe with the natives have always tried to con- duct my campaigns according to mili- tary regulations.
 'sThere is no use asking me to talk about other things. It would not be military. 1t would be of no use. I am a soldier and take what is coming to me. It is not for me to say whether I deserve it or not. have done what thought was right and am ready to set tie down in quiet.''
