DIES MONIES, April 21.-(Speeial )-Indl-
cations are that every member OF the pres
ent Iowa delegation in congress will be re-
nominated and in nearly every instance
unanimously. The latest effort in this, the
seventh, district to beat Captain Hull came
in a movement to induce Senator Crossley
Of Madison county to com out as a candi-
date in his county to get that delegation
away from Hull. II this was done Judge
Prouty might have some chance Of winning
out In the district convention not yet called,
but otherwise Captain Hull will be easily
nominated. Bremen county, in the Third
district, held a convention yesterday and
instructed for Colonel Henderson and all
opposition to Henderson has now disap-
pesred. In the Fourth district the opposi-
ton to Haugen is badly divided. In no
other districts have there been any serious
consideration Of any movement to nominate
others than the present congressman.
TIL democrats are beginning to look
around for candidates. In the Sixth district
J. P. Reese, head Of the Mine Workers
union In Iowa is said to be a candidate
for the democratic nomination in the hope
that by securing the solid miner vote he
could beat Major Lacey. Ex-Governor
Boies may be pitted against Colonel Hen
derson in the Third district.
The contest for nomination for state
Offices has begun. Treasurer Gilbertson and
Secretary Martin will be renominated by
reclamation. Chief Justice Ladd may also
be renominated the same way. For clerk Of
the Supreme court there are several candi-
dates, c. T. Jones Of Washington, the pres
ent incumbent; John s. Crockett of Hardin,
lately assistant clerk of the house; J. e.
Whelan of Montgomery, state bank exam
liner, and p. H. Bosquet OF Marion. For re-
porter Of the supreme court, w. w. Corn
wall OF Clay and Ben 1. Salinger OF Carroll
will be opponents. For state auditor, b. F.
Carroll OF Davis, ]. p. Wall OF Ringgold
and Amos Brandt Of Polk are avowed can
didates. The date and place of convention
are yet to be fixed.
Will Oppose Fishway.
The legislature just closed provided by
law for the construction of q fshway over
the dan at the Des Moines river at Bona
parte so that fish from the lower river
might COM over the dam and thus to a
large measure make restocking OF the Des
Moines river unnecessary. 1t was provided
that condemnation proceedings might be
had so that the fshway might be under
full control Of the state. The owners OF
the dam now declare that they will oppose
the building OF the nshway and demand
what would virtually be pay for the en-
tire dam and more IL the state is to have
any rights there. They place the estimate
at SOS, 900. In former years they have
tried to sell the dam to the state, but have
failed and the effort OF the state 10 con-
denim the entire dam resulted only in law
suits.
Annual Guard Contest.
The annual shoot Of the Iowa National
Guard will begin May 25 on the range near
Cedar Rapids. 1t will be under direction
Of Colonel Monse. inspector of small arms
practice, who succeeded Colonel Cooke.
There will be a detail OF four men from
each company in the state. Adjutant Gen.
eral Byers visited the state rifle range last
week and found that some repairs will
be necessary before the annual shoot takes
place.
VIII Go to Omaha.
L. A. Manlove, assistant city agent for
the United States Express company in Des
Moines, will go to Omaha the hrst of next
month to take charge of the express office
there as manager. MI. Manlove formerly
resided in Omaha. He has been connected
with the United States Express company
for twenty-four years. In the past year,
when he has been virtually in charge Of all
business in Des Moines, the company re-
ceipts have greatly>increased here. He will
be succeeded In Des Moines by w. @. Burn
side Of the Winterset run.
Convicted of Burglary.
Charles Peterson. the first OF FIVE white
cappers, tried on the charge Of burglary ut
Estherville, was found guilty. This is the
case where Detective Downey OF the Anti
Saloon league was taken from his room in
December. whipped and ordered to leave
town. Downey was taken from his room and
after being marched to the fair grounds
near Estherville was given a beating. He
was then ordered to move on and not stop
until he had crossed the state line. The
whitecappers followed him for a consider
able distance and shot at him with revolt
vers, Downey was thinly clad and the night
being cold he was badly frozen when he took
refuge in the house of a farmer. 1t is be-
lieved the other parties will be convicted
and all will be given stiff sentences. Downey
was a detective working in the interests Of
the Anti-Saloon league and had aroused
the enmity of the saloon interests.
Parole an EmbezzIer.
Governor Cummins has issued an order
for the parole Of W. o. Hedrick. a Marshall
county prisoner who is serving a three
years sentence in Fort Madison. Hedrick
was convicted Of forgery and embezzlement
over a year ago, and has now served about
one-half OF his sentence. His parole created
some surprise in Msrshalltown, where he
gained little sympathy. Hedrick deserted
his invalid wife after forging her name
and the name OF her sister TO drafts, secur-
ing the money and going to Illinois, where
he was arrested. Friends at Boone. where
Hedrick formerly resided. were instru-
mental in securing his release He bore a
good reputation while there, II is claimed,
and his aged mother enlisted the sympathy
Of many during his trial. Hedrick's father,
who was formerly a member of the Soldiers
Home, is now a resident of Iado, where an
other son resides, and one OF the conditions
Of the parole is that Hedrick shall go to
that state and be cared for by his relatives.
