invitation to be present at Selmer
on June 22rd to participate in joint
discussion and to confer with you
as to the list Of appointments for
joint discussion for the whole dis
trict I would be delighted were ]
situated so as to enable me 10 ac-
cept your kind invitation. l have
had the honor Of joint debates in
our district with some Of the ablest
men in the State and have never
dodged or avoided joint discussion,
but proper regard for my public
duties forces me to decline in this
instance.
In your letter you say, referring
to me, "You could make arrange
ments and pair your vote with some
Republican if you wished" ] am
profoundly astonished that three of
my most enlightened constituents
should make such a suggestion to
their Representative in Congress.
Two of you have had experience as
membersof great legislative body
and l am surprised that your idea
of the duty Of a legislator rises no
higher than the simple casting Of a
voteor avoiding even that by pair.
My duties here call for much
active service on committees and
other work in the preparation Of
bills for passage, that will be en-
tirely neglected if I leave, even if
hpaired. There lare now two resolu-
tions on the calendar from thecom-
mittee on war claims, enc of which
was reported by myself, transmit
ting a great number of Southern
war claims, several of which are
going 70 people in my district, to
the court of claims for payment
under the Tucker Act.
By remaining here I expect to
get these resolutions passed, but if
[ leave / have no hope of getting
them through the House at this
session.
AS my constituents, I ask you,
must [ leave here and let these res
Olutions fail of passage in order to
join you in an unseemly personal
scramble for denomination?
If you we're in my place, would
: yeu do as you have suggested that
I do?

Congress are all suspension days,
whenit is in order, at any time, fol

Present From Mrs. Mckinley.

Des Moines. Feb. 12.-"Mrs. Ida Sax
on Mckinley was the name engraved
on card that fell from package
brought Lawrence Noble Mckay, a
youth of IL years, by the postman. The
package contained a beautiful pair OF
knit slippers. In separate envelope
was note from the. widow of the mar
tyred president apprising the happy
youth that the slippers were knit by her
own hands and thanking him cordially
for a gift he had sent her last Christ
mas.
About two weeks before the holidays
Lawrence made several clusters of wax
flowers, which he afterwards presented
to his friends as Christmas gifts. The
thought ocuorred to him that a bunch
of his flowers would help to brighten a
Christmas that would no doubt be very
sad at best for the late presidents wife.
After slight protest his parents con-
sented and he accordingly mailed the
flowers to Canton. A few days later a
formal note acknowledging the gift was
received, which Lawrence highly priced
and supposed would be the only form
of acknowledgements. His joy on re-
ceipt of the supplementary expression
was unbounded.

Allerton. Feb. 12.-Captain and Mrs
G. G. r. Huston. of this city, are re-
ceiving from their hosts of relatives
and friends congratulations upon the
occasion of their fiftieth, or golden
wedding anniversary. 1t has been
planned to celebrate the event with a
family reunion and big dinner, to
which many would have been invited,
but these plans had to be temporarily
set aside on account of the strict quar-
antine regulations which will not allow
social gatherings because the smallpox
is so general here. Later 1t is prob
able that the reunion will be held. They
were married in Columbiana county.

Bellair township, Appanoose county,

was in the grain, coal and furniture
business in Allerton, from which he re-
tired ten years ago, and has been
spending his declining days in ease and
comfort.

Iowa City. Feb 12.-Judge NJ. j.
Wade, of the Iowa-J johnson district. an
nounced today in an interview that he
would not be candidate for reelection.
no matter what action may be taken by
the general assembly in the matter OF
raising judicial salaries.
II do not regret in the least the eight
years and more that have spent upon
the bench said Judge Wade. The
experience l have gained there has
been invaluable-but experience is
about the only thing judge can accu-
mulate. / can not afford to spend more
time on the bench and shall return to
active practice at the bar at the close
of my present term.
"On the question of increase in judi
cial salary now before the 29th general
assembly, 1 am heartily in favor of Il
considerable raise in the salary of dis
trict judges, tho it will make no differ
ence with my determination to retire
from the bench. The salaries of Judges
should be raised to a sum which will in
a measure at least compensate the
Judge for the endless labor and drudg-
cry thru which he goes in his service
of the state. Judges in this state have
almost unlimited responsibility, having
not only the civil and criminal trials
but great amount of probate business
which, in every county of over $500 in
habitants, should have the undivided
attention of good probate officer.
That there are plenty of Candidates
willing to accept the judicial positions at
the meagre salaries now offered in
Iowa, does not signify anything. Ev-
cry American deems it privilege to
serve in a high office of trust and re-
sponstbility. The real question now
before the general assembly is whether
the state should pay a just compensa-
ton for the services rendered 1T. wheth-
err the official should receive fair COM
pensation for the work he does and the
responsibility he bears, whether Judge
is worthy of his salt"

Nelson Cain Die. in Cedar Rapids
From Effects Of Fall.

Special to Times Republican.
Cedar Rapids. Feb 12.-Nelson Cain,
e young man whose home was at st.
Joe, Mo-, and who had been employed
here for about n week by the Iowa Tele-
phone Company. died at St Luke's hos
pital last evening. the result of injuries
received in fall from fifty-foot tele-
phone pole located in the brick paved
alley at the rear of the Kimball build
ing The accident occurred shortly be-
fore o'clock. Cain was rendered
unconscious by the fall alighting on his
head and left shoulder. He was at once
removed to st. Luke's in the city am
tulance, where death resulted from
Conclusion of the brain. Coroner King
was notified of the accident and an
nounced that he would summon jury
at 10 o'clock yesterday morning to de-
termine the cause of the accident
No one saw Cain when he started to
fall. altho several persons heard his
agonizing shrieks before he struck the
ground and were unwilling spectators
to the terrible climax. Manager A. II.
Johnson gave it as his opinion that
Cain hooked his safety belt the wrong
way. and that as he shifted his position
on the pole the snap of the belt became
unfastened. causing Cain to lose his
balance. This theory of the accident
is believed by Gains fellow employees
and by many who have Investigated the
case. The companys crew was en-
gagged in taking down the old lead" in
the alley between First and Second av-
enues the new cable to the hill dis
trict" having been completed. Cain was
on the pole at work. just as all the
crew are every day. He had his safety
belt on, and only q few seconds before
the accident was seen to be standing
upright in the second cross arm from
the bottom. working as calmly as tho
on the ground. His safety belt was
supposed to be fastened around the
pole, but as 1t was unlocked when the
unfortunate man was picked up from
the ground it is supposed that the snap
was accidentally unfastened that Cain
leaned back expecting the support of
the belt, lost his balance and fell.
Little was known of Cain here. but
Manager Johnson learned thru the Des
Moines office Of the company that the
young man belonged in st. Joe, and
communication was sent to that city at
once.

| Mason City, Feb. 12.-The evidence
in the Linhoff murder trial was COM
pleted at 3:45 o'clock yesterday after
noon when the states attorney, d. w
Telford, opened the argument for the
state. The day was largely devoted
to the states rebuttal, which ended al
IL o'clock in the afternoon. In sur
nesses. A. C. Linhoff and his daugh-
ter. Gertrude Linhoff. AS soon as the
evidence In the case was all in the
judge, Clifford P. Smith, and the jury,
with attorneys for both the state and
defense, visited the Linhoff and Brom
ley homes and inspected the different
localities of the same which have
played so important part in the trial
just concluding. 1t is expected that At
torney Telford will talk the greater
part of this forenoon, when Colonel
Mozambique will open for the defense.
In many respects has this case been
q most remarkable one. The iangu-
age used by both women principals of
the affair." the alleged murderess, Mrs.
Linhoff, and her victims wife, Mrs.
Edwin c. Bromley, has been worse
than might be heard in the lowest city
brothel. and this has been continually
introduced in the trial and plays a
most important part in the proceed
ings. Each woman has, according to
the evidence, accused the other of ev-
cry low and despicable avocation In n
Whitechapel vocabulary. and have
been replied to in kind.
1t is the common belief among law
yers that the jury will not find for
worse than manslaughter against Mrs.
Linhoff and many look for an acquittal
on the ground of justifiable homicide.
while others believe that the jury will
disagree and the array of evidence,
good, bad and Indifferent, is hard lot
to choose from. Turnout the trial the
defendant has maintained an attitude
of impassiveness, almost approaching
stoicism, and upon but two occasions
has she allowed her emotion to over
come her The nerve she has exhibit
ed in court has surprised old court
goers
