An Iowa Protectionist.

Throughout his rapid trip across the
state the reception given to President
Roosevelt lacked none oil Iowa's old
time republican enthusiasm, and it is
certain that when Mr.. Roosevelt again
crosses the state in June he will be
greeted with no less cordially. An in
tiuential Iowa farmer was recently
asked the extent of the tart ffrevision
sentiment in his state. In reply he
said Last week | marketed eight
hogs less than a year old for S1lJ
Newer before would those hogs have
brought ME as much by s25. Do you
suppose | want any tariff revision to
upset the market and prevent my get
ting that kind of prices? That is the
feeling of 80 uer cent of the men in
Iowa.

PLOT TO KILL ROOSEVELT.
Oakland Police Warned Assassination
Was Contemplated.

San Francisco, CAL, May 16.-The
police of Oakland have admitted that
they have been informed that there
was a plot to assassinate President
Roosevelt during his visit to that city.
This admission explains the extreme
diligence which was exercised by the
police department in guarding Presi-
dent Roosevelt during his journey
through and visit in Oakland.

Two Erroneous Statements.

Two widely circulated statements
deserve attention. One is to the effect
that the President summoned Cover.
nor Cummins to Washington the other
that for an entire day on his trip
through Iowa Governor Cummins was
closeted with the President, discuss
ing the Iowa idea" Both of these
statements are incorrect. Governor
Cummins came to Washington on his
own initiative fact which initiated
nothing against the cordial reception
which he received at the White House
however. On the trip through Iowa
Governor Cummins was guest on the
Presidents train from Clarinda to Des
Moines distance of perhaps 100
miles. hut in that time Mr. Roosevelt
and Mr. Cummins had no private con.
versation whatever ~

Girl Little Injured.

Miss Ankrom is little the worse for
her experience except for a few
scratches upon her face, neck and
hands and the nervous shock occa-
stoned by the incident. She feels posi-
tive that she would recognize the mans
voice if she Were to hear it, but can
give only meager description OF him,
as there was no light in the room. She
SAYS he is short, somewhat thiekset,
and wears no beard or mustache. Mel
Their she nor the police can form any
idea as to who he may be.
Motive Unknown.
The mans motive is a problem. That
it was robbery seems improbable. as
Miss Ankrom's watch and rings were
on the dresser in plain sight and un
disturbed He was not, as far as is
known, in any other rooms in the
house, and it is the theory of the po-
lice that he gained entrance to the
room through the same window that
served as his exit The shed outside
is low one, and it's top could be
gained easily by climbing, t--us giving
him an easy entrance through the win.
dow. which was raised for purposes of
ventilation.
The intruder gave his name as
George Brown and the police think,
that this was done to throw off sus-
picion He doubtless knew that his
intended victim worked in the estab-
lishment owned by Brown and Joslin,
and had probably heard Mr.. Joslin
called by his first name, George. The
store is generally known as Browns
candy kitchen and he doubtless
thought Joslin's name to be Brown.
There is little doubt that he is either
wholly or partly insane, for otherwise
there would have been some action to
indicate his motive in thus entering
the house.

Entered Her Room.

Miss Ankrom is employed until late
on Saturday nights and it was after IL
O'Clock when she reached her home.
She went to her room, in the rear of
the second story, and retired for the
night. She states that she heard a
noise outside her window but thought
little of it and went to sleep. About1
o'clock she awakened to find man
leaning over her. She was surprised
but evidently not frightened for she
asked him who he was, whereupon he
seized her by the throat. and said:
Keep quiet or I'll kill you. I'm
George Brown
The young woman offered a plucky
resistance and the fight waged for
some minutes. She repeatedly broke
the mans hold upon her throat and
each time she screamed for aid. mean
while fighting with all her strength
Her assailant spoke several times, tell
ing her to be quiet, but she only fought
the harder and thinks she succeeded in
leaving several marks upon his face
as the result OF the encounter.

Harmony Expected.

When Senator Allison was in Hot
Springs he told Senator Aldrich that
no ground Whatever remained for ap-
prehension regarding the situation in
Iowa. Harmony had been established
and he was confident of the adoption
of the tariff plank. the draft Of which
he showed to the senator from Rhode
Island. Every one who knows Sem
ator Adrich knows that no halfway
tariff sentim ent would satisfy that en-
thusiastic protectionist. and he was
entirely satisfied with the plank as
