cial to Times-Republican.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, Dec. 29.-Richard G.
Barrett, state superintendent of public
instruction, will again be a candidate
for the nomination for fourth term.
Mr. Barrett's candidacy is no sur
prise, for various recent events have
indicated that he would again enter the
race. But he weighed the matter care
fully for some time before reaching
a decision. feeling that perhaps there
might be general prejudice against
four terms for a superintendent of
schools. Enough encouragement was
received by Mr.. Barrett, however, from
all parts of the state to satisfy him
and his friends that the fact that he
had received three nominations pre-
viously would not count seriously
against him, and he decided to become
a candidate.
The close of his present term will
complete Mr.. Barrett's sixth year of
service as state superintendent, He
was first nominated in 1897, and since
then was accorded two nominations,
both times without opposition. Prior
to holding his present office Mr.. Bar
rett was county superintendent of
Mitchell county for fourteen years. His
administration of the state superin-
tendency has been generally satisfac-
tory.
A number of men have been men
toned as probable candidates in OPP
position to Superintendent Barrett, but
thus far all but two have denied the
rumors that credited them with aspi-
rations in this direction. A. w. Stew
art. of Ottumwa, and ]. F. Riggs, CT
Sigousney, have been frequently men
toned. Both of these latter men ara
from the Sixth district, and they have
had ambition for the state superin-
tendency at other times in the past.

ROOSEVELT WILL JOIN.
President to Become Member of Floyd
Memorial Association.

Sioux City, Dec. 29.-Theodore Roose-
welt. president of the United States, has
been elected an honorary member of the
Floyd Memorial Association, of Sioux
City, and in response to a handsome
certificate of membership which was
sent to him by the association the Sec
rotary, Mrs. Francis N. Davis, has re-
ceived letter of thanks signed by
George B. Cortelyou, secretary to the
president.
The letter reads as follows:
White House, Washington, Dec %,
1902.-Dear Madam: The president re-
quests me to convey to you an express
sion of his appreciation of the compli-
ment paid him by the recent action of
your association in electing him to
membership. Very truly yours.
GEORGE B. CORTELYOU,
Secretary to the President.
"Mrs. Francis N. Davis, Secretary of
the Floyd Memorial Association, Sioux
City, Iowa"
The members of the association in
Sioux City believed that, in view of the
approaching Louisiana Purchase Expo
sition to be held in st. Louis and its
relation to the Floyd monument in
Sioux City it would be well and fitting
to make the president of the nation a
member of the association.

Frank C. Sherman, Eva Chesmore,

They ask for judgment against the
defendant for the sum of $1,375.69 with
interest at per cent from December
25, 1902, and pray that they be given
an attachment against his goods and
chattels. 1t is claimed that Mr.. Shell
don was appointed administrator of
the estate March IL, 1902, and that no
part Of the estate has as yet been turn
ed over to the heirs. 1t is alleged that
on December 10, 1902. the defendant
absconded and that ordinary process
can not be served upon him.

vinton Doctor Wrote Some Bad Ones
to Scare the Girl.
Special to es-Republican.
Cedar Rapids, Dec. 29.-Copies of
two of the letters upon which the ar
rest OF DR.. Beller, of Vinton, was
hade, have been sent to Marshal
Healy of the United States district
court, OF Cedar Rapids. One of them
Is so indecent as to be wholly I'M
printable. In the other the writer
threatens Miss Hill that If she dares to
marry DR. Park, the writer will ruin her
reputation. 1t is said that these are
only two of great number of letters,
many OF which are even worse in char
acter and finally it is stated that the
officials are in possession of one letter
written just before the marriage of
Miss Hill-stating that If she dares to
marry DR.. Park, the writer will kill her
and himself. These letters, however,
have not been made public, though Mar
shall Healy has been made acquainted
with their contents. 1t was the plan Of
Sheriff Youel and County Attorney
kirkland, to have the first arrest made
by the federal officials, and an infor-
nation was filed charging DR.. Beller
with a violation of the statutes re-
garding the mailing of indecent and
threatening matter. But the officials
sent copies of the letters and not the
original evidence and 1t is learned here
that Marshal Healy declined to make
the arrest unless he had the original
letters in his possession. He acquaint-
ed the Benton county officials with this
fact and they therefore have apparently
decided to arrest the doctor on the state
charge first.
Many of the letters which were sent
to Miss Hill were typewriter, and 1t
is stated that an effort is being made to
determine whether the actual sender of
the letters wrote them upon the type
writer himself, or whether he employ
ed a typewritist.

WILL OPPOSE SWEET.
Butler County Not Favorable to Bremen
County's Ambition.

Allison, Dec. 29.-Rutler county will
not listen to the siren song of Burton E.
Sweet, of Waverly, concerning the SEN
atorship In the Thirty-ninth district,
and Mr.. Sweets ambition to represent
the district will not be gratified. If he
Is to return to the next legislature it
must be as third -termer in the house.
Senator George NJ. Craig, who has
served two full terms and part of an
other one to fill out the Smith vacancy,
has announced that he is not candi-
date for the nomination.
Butler county has held the senator
ship for twelve years and Mr.. Sweet
was intending to be a candidate If But
Ter would now concede the Office to the
other county of the district Butler has
one more tier of townships than Bremen
and several hundred more republican
votes and so controls the convention
every four years.
Interviews from leading politicians of
the county indicate that there Is no de-
sire to acquiesce in Mr.. Sweets plan,
In fact e. w. Soesbe. of Greene, former
representative from Butler county, is
already announced as a candidate for
the senatorship, and George A. McIn-
tyre. of Shell Rock, former editor OF
the Butler County News, former county
attorney, and one time candidate for
the secretaryship Of the senate, IS I'M
derstood to be an avowed candidate,
Ialtho his announcement has n yet
been made public.
Butler county republicans take the
position that Bremen county Is well
supplied with good Jobs. Ed Knott has
been United States marshal for several
Years. Bremen county held the district
tjudgeship for twenty-four years, and
had the district attorney for four years
lAItho Butler county has been In the
same district with Bremen for years she
has never been able to get district
Judge. Butler county republicans re-
member the convention IN which M. r
Edwards, Of Parkersburg, and G. A
ivan vlack, OF Waverly, now assistant
lattorney general, We're candidates fol
Judge In the Twelfth district. When
Van vlack was out of the fight Ed
wards could have been nominated by
the support of Bremen county, but thai
icounty chose instead to throw It's vote
to J. F. Cyde, of Usage, who Is still OF
the bench. !,
