The Brown Township Rally.

EDITOR GRAPHIC.
DEAR SIR:-In your last issue APP
peared an article purporting to be an
account of the republican meeting
held at the Trotter schoolhouse on
the night of October 8th. In the arti-
Gle mentioned you said you did not
know who the principal speaker was
but from all reports you judged it was
one John BarleycOrn. Now, the only
inference to be drawn from this asser-
ton would be that there was plenty
of beer and possibly something
stronger. This article certainly does
the people of Brown township an in
Justice. LII there was any beer or
other liquid refreshments there they
did not show on the surface, and as
for good order and decOrum- it was as
good as could be found anywhere.
The house was crowded and there
were at least fifty people standing all
during the meeting and it lasted for
nearly two hours. 1t you had taken
very much pains you could have
known who the speaker was As the
, meeting was fully advertised. Mr.. a.
II. Brown WAS the speaker and made
a creditable speech. | am not q poll
tician, n am L especially interested
in the election of any particular per.
sor, but l like to see fair play.
Please to publish this in the interest
| of fair play.
am very respectfully yours.

more than their feed mill, with Its ma
chinery and some grain, along with q
car load OF cement. Some coal sheds
were destroyed and one car load Of

The loss is estimated to be not less
than 100000.
The fire was discovered about IL
o'clock in the building used as a store
room for flour by the milling company,
and 1t soon spread to the adjoining
buildings, which were all burned, the

and machinery, leaving only the office
of the milling company intact out of
their plant.
Nothing could be learned as to the
amount of grain and flour destroyed or
insurance on the milling company. For
some time they have been looking for
another location and it is quite likely
that they will not rebuild.
Bowman &; Kaufman had their build
ing insured, but not the machinery or
contents. and their loss will be some

CAMPBELL RESIGNS.
Chairman Of the Prohibition Commit
tee to Quit His Post.


Des Moines, Jan. 21.-Mr. j. H. Camp
bell, chairman of the prohibition state
central committee stated Monday that
he was thinking OF resfgning, and would
probably do so as soon as all the af-
fairs of the party were Strengthened up
and the bills of the last campaign all
paid. The reasons that he gives for re-
signing are that his business takes up
all his time and he cannot continue to
act as chairman of the prohibition state
committee and discharge the duties of
that position az they ought to be dis
charged 1t is possible that he may
continue as chairman until the next
state convention, as there will not be
any great amount of work to do in the
meantime, but his present intention is
to resign in month or two.
1t is conceded by all that during Mr.
Campbell's administration the affairs OF
the party have been better conducted
than they ever were before, as evil
denced by the fact that the vote at the
last election was increased from less
than 10000 to over 5000. when the vote
of all the other parties in the state
showed o. decrease. For many years
past the prohibition state chairman has
been minister, and Mr.. Campbell was
one of the first business men to occupy
that position. Since that time. however,
he has embarked in the insurance bus
iness, which now consumes all of his
time, and he has practically decided to
resign the position. In any event he
will not be candidate for reelection.
No one has yet been ruggested for
chairman, it not having been known
that Mr.. Campbell had any intention of
resigning Malcom Smith had charge
of the office part of the time during the
last campaign, and he may be chosen
by the committee. He is the member
from the Fifth district. living at Cedar
Rapids. 1t will also be necessary to Sc
lect committeeman from the Eleventh
district to succeed Mr.. Campbell, as he
now resides at Des Moinss.

espionage was readily accepted. He be-
came great favorite with the fair sex,
