years. Miss Ripley had large circle of
distant relatives and friends in Walpole,
who have felt it pleasure to have some
part in her care. She appreciated all that
was done for her in this way and enjoyed
meeting and talking with all these friends
but since the loss of her sister she has often
said that she felt very much alone in the
world since all the friends of her younger

MARINES GUARD THE TRAINS
Cincinnati sends Fifty Ashore with
Rapid Fire Gun to Preserve
order al Colon.

COLON. Colombia, Sept. 17.-American
marines are now travelling as guards on
the passenger trains to and from Panama.
The United States crusier Cincinnati
landed fifty marines today and also sent
ashore a small rapid fire gum, which was
placed on a railroad truck, protected by
iron plates.
A small detachment Of insurgents was
seen near Mindi station early today. The
government troops attacked the enemy I'm
mediately and drove them back. A col
ored woman who was in the vicinity OF
the scene of the skirmish was killed.
PANAMA, Colombia, Sept. 17.-Com-
mander Potter Of the United States cruiser
Ranger will tomorrow morning place guards
on the trains running across the isthmus.
This step will be taken in addition to the
marines landed this morning at Colon from
the cruiser Cincinnati. II Is not probable
that the revolutionists will attempt to in
terrupt transit on the railroad.
General Salazar. commander Of the gov
eminent forces on the isthmus, and Acting
Consul Ehrmann were in conference this
morning. The general was informed that
the measure Of placing guards on the trainA
could not be considered as an act OF hos
tiIity to Colombia. but that it was only
taken under the necessity Of insuring un-
interrupted traffic over the railroad. Gov
ernor Salazar has Just received a tele>

Service Mutual Benefit association and the

uPHEAVAL IN STATE POLITICS
Letter Of Speaker Henderson Brings
ont Many Candidates for
the Place.
From a STAN Correspondence

DIES MONIES, Sept. 17-(special)-The
announcement Of Speaker Henderson OF his
retirement from congress has created such
an upheaval in politics as has never be-
fore been known In Iowa. But very little
new developed In the ease today. 1t was
found that a great variety OF opinions *
ist as to the real cause Of the sudden d.
termination OF the speaker to quit politics.
A great many OF his friends declare that
he will be forced yet to remain In the race
and that another convention called In the
Third district will surely renominate him
by reclamation and virtually give hin au-
thority to choose his own platform. Before
the day had far advanced a determined
movement in that direction had been taken.
A number Of minor political conferences
were held with this in view. on the other
hand II Is assumed that the Third district
committee will Immediately call a district
convention. that caucuses will be held and
county conventions all within two or three
weeks, and that this convention will choose
another candidate TO lead the republicans
OF the Third district.
Among those considered as candidates are
Charles y. Pickett, Waterloo; W. r. Har-
riman, Hampton; G. +. Ransier, Independ-
ence; o. B.. COPYRIGHT. Waterloo, and W.
II. Norris, Manchester. G
II is generally agreed that the nomina-
tion will now go to the western end Of the
district, az 1t has been in Dubuque county
for so many years. In that case Picket
appears to be the most available man.
He is a popular lawyer and last year was
at the head of the Elks in the United States.
He has been chancellor commander Of the
Knights OF Pythias of Iowa. Hartman is
state senator and was last year candidate
for governor. He is on the Louisiana COM
mission and the state Agricultural Board.
COPYRIGHT made a start to be a candidate
against Henderson last winter, but with
drew TO make 1t unanimous for Henderson.
He Is a new man in the state senate and
made a creditable record last winter. The
others named have been regarded as pos
slhle candidates before.
The situation ~precipitated by the speak
er's letter has brought about little less
than a crisis in the party. The democrats
believe that inasmueh as Henderson has al
ways had a great many democratic votes,
he was the only republican who could have
carried the Third district, and with him
out OF the way there will be not a par
ticle OF doubt about the election Of Horace
Boiee.

START FIGHT ON ROOSEVELT
Endorsing President for Re-
nomination in Alabama Adopted,
but with Opposition.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Sept. 1T.-When the
republican state convention reassembled
today it was evident that there would
be a fight on that part Of the platform en-
dorsing President Roosevelt for a renomi-
nation. "
This opposition is said to have had Its
origin In the recent action OF the presl-
dent in retiring william Vaughan. retiring
state chairman, from the once Of district
attorney for north Alabama. for alleged
neglect OF duty. There was also a feeling
against the clause in the platform con
demuing child labor In cotton mills.
AS soon as Chairman Davidson called the
convention to order the platform and reso-
buttons, as reported by the committee we're
read. and when that part OF It endorsing
President Roosevelt for the nomination in
1904 was reached there were loud cries
mo, no." The platform as reported re-

The platform adopted says:
We heartily approve and applaud Presi-

try's interests, domestic and foreign. We
share his pride In the magnificent work of
the American soldier and sailor and the
American administrators in the country's
new dependencies, and his sentiment
against their unpatriotic traducers. and we
favor his nomination for the presidency by
the national republican convention of 1904.
We believe with Lincoln, Garfield, Blaine,
Mckinley and Roosevelt In a protective
tariff that wisely fosters American indus
tries and safeguards American wages. We
oppose a general revision OF the tariff at
this time as. both inopportuhe and unneces-
sary. IL in any, schedule IMPORT duties are

ing the principle of, protection. lgr
| We believe Nit William Mckinley and
Theodore Roosevelt in the policy of trade
reciprocity as the natural supplement OF
tariff protection and the key with which to
unlock the worlds markets for the surplus
mills. Especially we commend the presi-
dents efforts TO perform a plain duty and
obtain for this country a lucrative COM
merce by arranging a Judicious reciprocity
treaty with Cuba.
Continuing, the platform says: 1--WE be-
lieve that great aggregatioLs of capital
commonly called trusts, while necessary
for the economic conduct OF large business

tional, as will safeguard public and pri.
