Special to Times Republican.
Baskerville, June 1.-THE county
convention, called here for Saturday
has. in a very marked degree enlivened
the interest in politics. The township
and ward causuces We're all called for
the 18th inst, except the caucus IN
the First ward of this city, which was
held last evening From the fact that
the call was irregular, and disposition
OF few corrupt political demagogues
and ward ''heelers' from the other
wards making an attempt to dictate
to the caucus. a rough house was
threatened but finally averted and a
delegation named.
The sentiment of the caucus was that
Senator Bachman, who is candidate
for reelection for second term
should be granted the privilege of Sc
lecting his own delegation to the SEN
atorial convention and granting Repre-
sentative Robinson the same privilege
in the representative convention. This
will no doubt be carried out in the
county convention.
The First ward includes the greater
part of the railroad boys and laboring
men and when they make move there
is something doing. During the nproa-
in the caucus one of the principal self
appointed "dictators" was located in the
crowd, and escorted bodily by the boys
to the door and directed to return to
the Second ward and never show up
again in the First ward caucuses.

Intimated That Judge McPher-
son Cannot Get Caldwell's
Place On Federal Bench
HIS OPPONENT is JUDGE HOOK
While Others Are So Anxious for It,
It is improbable That Iowa Can Land
the Place Again, After Holding it So
Lone-Iowa Delegation in Congress
Now Realize the Difficulty.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, June Pit is learned
here that members of the Iowa deiega-
ton in congress who have been push
ing the claims OF Judge Smith Nc
Pherson, Of the United States district
court, for the southern district of Iowa,
for the place on the federal bench
soon to be vacated by Judge Henry
c. Caldwell. Of Arkansas, have prac-
Mcpherson, in the place. and that they
will not concern themselves much fur
Their IN the matter. The qualifications
of Judge Mcpherson for the place have
been fully presented to President Roos-
evelt in the past and nothing can now
be added to what has been said and
done. But the members of congress
realize that the situation is decidedly
unfavorable to them and that the pros
pect Of Iowa landing this place again
is very remote. Judge Caldwell has
been a resident of Arkansas for many
years but he was an Iowa man when he
was invited to step out of the ranks of
the army and take his seat upon the
circuit bench 1t is improbable that a
state which has had the position sc
long can have 1t again while there are
others so anxious for the place. The
contest is enirely between Judge Nc
Pherson and Judge Hook. 1t is learned
that Judge Hooks Kansas friends have
played their strong card by showing
that Iowa ia already pretty well sup
piled with men in high positions, while
Kansas has not Jared SO we'll. The Kan
sas men are so confident that Judge
Hook will receive the appointment that
they have been for some time arrang-
ing to provide successor for him and
have the man already picked. If Nc
Pherson should be promoted from Iowa
it is regarded as certain the Iowa dele
CATION will fix upon Judge Walter /.
Smith as the man to succeed him, pro-
vided Judge Smith desires to leave con-
gress and again go upon the bench.
But the intimation has been given here
that it is idle to consider the POSSIBLE
ity of Judge Mcpherson getting the
place.

odd prellinx site..

The people Of Tupuselei have no need
to travel far when they want to take q
salt water bath. The town is built on
piles which have been driven into q
submerged coral reef situated far out
in the Torres strait to the south of
New Guinea. Opposite this extraordi-
nary settlement on the mainland is an
other village that is perched high in
the air among the gigantic palm trees
with which the coast Is fringed. The
object Of both communities in choosing
these curious sites for 'their dwellings
is identical. They desire to assure
themselves against being surprised by
their numerous enemies, and especial
ly they seek safety from the providing
Dyak head hunters.

The old.., known Bookkeeping.

In the primitive villages of the An
des, scattered through Peru. Bolivia
and Ecuador, the descendants Of the
ancient Ineas depend upon the "kipu"
for keeping all their accounts. 1t was
in use when Pizarro conquered Peru,
and the Andean Indians have never
improved on it. 1t Is the oldest known
form of bookkeeping. The "kipu" is
simply collection of knotted strings.
Differently colored strings denote diff
ferent articles in daily use and ten dis
tinct knots the ten numerals. In the
absence Of written language it is
marveously perfect system. Large
transactions are conducted as accurate
ly by it as If double entry bookkeeping
were employed.

BROWN is DISCHARGED.
Evidences Not Sufficient to Hold Him
for Poisoning Cattle.

Special to Times Republican.
Baskerville, June 12.--The examina-
ton Of Ed Brown. who was arrested
Monday, charged with the strewing OF
poison. resulting In the death OF cat
tie belonging to +. A. Schaefer and
West, was brought to close at noon
yesterday. Mr.. Davidson decided that
the evidence introduced was not suffi-
Client TO warrant him being held to the
grand jury and therefore discharged
him from custody.
The evidence against Mr.. Brown, who
has been in the employ of Mr.. Schaefer
was purely circumstantial, altho 1t was
of sufficient strength to warrant his
arrest. 1t developed during the hear
ing that he and Mr.. Schaefer had had
trouble and 1t also developed that paris
green was found in the pockets OF Mr..
Brown. Other than this, however the
state was unable to furnish any evil
dence that would connect him with the
crime
1t is thoroughly believed that the
cattle were poisoned thru some one
scattering paris green in the pasture,
but whether any evidence will ever
come to light showing who is the guilty
party is another question.
