TO OFFER NEW MEASURE.
Senator crossley VIII Persist In Hit
Effort TO Secure Primary Law

/
Des Moines, August 1.-Senatoi
made hard fight for the enactment
Of primary elections law that
would mean something, in the last SEES
sion of the general assembly. says
that he proposes to make still more
vigorous fight for like measure in
the next winters session, If returned
He will receive the cooperation of his
colleague in the house, Mr.. Greene.
II expect to press the measure
again, il sent back" said Senator
Crossley. 1.-THE more l read and the
more l learn, the more firmly am
convinced that the state needs pri
mary election law that will govern
primaries as definitely as the general
election laws govern our elections.
am gratified that The Register and
Leader is agitating this question.
believe 1t to be one OF the most import
ant before the people. l am not pre-.
pared to go to some of the lengths that
have been suggested in other states,
and in some enacted into law, but GER
tainly Iowa will be in the rear guard
instead of the front, where she be-
longs, If, as her cities grow larger, she
tails to do something to keep pure the
fountain head of our political system,
the primary"
The Crossley primary bill provided
for the nomination Of all political offic'
ers at primary election. in which
all parties should participate, and in
which the Australian ballot should be
used. 1t also provided for the holding
of conventions, succeeding the pri'
maries, but the nominations were to be
made at the primary election.
The senator has been studying the
subject carefully since the last ses
sion, and will prepare a new measure
extending over more ground than the
original one. 1t provided for the reg
istration of the voters at each election
as to their party affiliation, in order to
determine which party primary the
next year they might participate in
Senator Crossley sees no hardship in
this. If man be neither republican
nor a democrat, and does not choose
to say he is populist or a member
of any of the parties, there is no rea.
son for his participation in specific
party primary. The bill that he in.
troduced last year did not provide
drastic penalties for violation. He
proposes to provide the same penalties
as apply to the general elections. AS
to the application of the law to cities
of certain size, only such as
above 5000 or above 10000 people,
Senator Crissley has not yet reached
a conclusion.
Probably he will propose a specific
system for conducting the primaries.
He has provided in the old bill that
different tickets of each party be
printed separately, and the voter at
the primary be given the one of the
party which the registration books
show him to be affiliated with; or
which, on oath, he says he has or will
affiliate with.

LAST TRIBUTE TO POPE LEO.
Third Great Requiem Mass is cele-
brated.

Rome, July 31.-The last tribute was
paid to the late Pope Leo yesterday
with the third great requiem mass
celebrated in the Sistine chapel of the
Vatican and the function was no less
acrimonious and imposing than was
the other two. While there was per-
haps fewer persons present there was
a greater display of gorgeous uniforms.
OF the sixty-two cardinals now IN
Rome, all attended the mass except
Cardinal Cretonio, project of the Con-
gregation of Sacred Relics, who was
i'll.
The picture presented by the pro-
cession OF cardinals, in violet robes
and red capes bordered with ermine,
escorted by noble guards in scarlet
uniform and with drawn swords, the
scene being softened by the clouds OF
incense and the chapel resoundlng
with the strains of the incompatible
Sistiue choir singing Liberia Me Dol
Nine" made those present feel as
though lifted into another world.
In the churches of Rome yesterday
began the offering of prayers to the
Holy Ghost to assist and enlighten the
cardinals to choose the right man to
sit in the chair of St. Peter During
the conclave the blessed sacrament
will be exposed in several churches
for the special prayers of the faithful,
with the same object In view

Fire Started by Tramps Destroys
Twenty Box Cars and Elevator.

Valeria, Aug. 3.-Fire, which orig
mated in an empty box car on the
Great Western railroad tracks today
destroyed the elevator at this place
and twenty freight cars, mourning a
loss of about $4,000.
The heat from the great confiagra-
ton burned down al Of the telegraph
wires and cut off all communication
with other places. Train service was
delayed two hours. This included tho
holding of the passenger here that
length of time While it is not known,
it is believed the blaze was started
by tramps smoking in the empty box
car and allowing sparks to fall upon
straw. Six of the cars burned were
filled with coal, one with iron and an
other with railroad ties. The remain
der were empty

Theodore Koch of Dixie is in a Critical
Condition

Dixie. July 30.-Theodore Koch, a
young man % or "a years of age who
has been living with his brother, four
miles east of this town, is in critical
condition as the result of bullet
wound in his forehead. Whether the
fatal wound was self-inficted or
whether caused by an accident, is un.
known, but the suicide theory is gen.
orally accepted. Young Koch was EN-:
ployed about the farm of his brother
at 8 O'Clock, when he was observed by
b neighbor who passed. No one else
was at home at the time. Later he
was found in his room in an uncon-
scious condition with a bullet wound
in his nose and forehead He was
brought to town and the physicians
are doing what they can to save his
life

HOGS MAIN A CHILD.
Small Boy Badly Used by sows With
Small Pigs.

Marengo, August 1.-The two and a
half years old son OF Mr.. and Mrs. A.
H. Slaymaker, living near town, was
found just outside Of hog pen terribly
lacerated and bruised. 1t is supposed
that he climbed into the pen to get
one of the little pigs, as the pen con-
tanned seven sows and their young. 1t
is not known whether he managed to
crawl out or whether they threw him
out in tearing him. He has five inch
cut on the head, a crushed foot, badly
bitten in the thigh, leg and shoulder,
in fact, as the attending physicians
describes it, lit is a great deal easier
to tell where he is not hurt than to
tell where he is hurt, although he will
live" He will be badly SCARED for
life. His body is entirely bandaged,
and he suffers terribly.

Campbell, a half breed Kiowa, who
were working in a railroad gang near
Malvern, got into an alteration this

life of Print. He chased Campbell
with a large knife and was about tc
overtake him when Campbell grabbed
an axe and sunk it deep in his pur
suer's forehead, laying the skull open
from between the eyes to the crown Of
the head. The injured warrior is stih
alive and the doctors say there is
some chance for him to live as the
blade of the axe passed between the
two lobes of the brain.

to Cover Liabilities.

Council Bluffs, July 31.-W. B. Reed
of this city, who was appointed by the
court as trustee of the Pisgah, Iowa,
bank, which failed last week, stated
last night that his investigation of the
affairs of the bank has been satisfac-
tory to the creditors. He finds the
liabilities to approximate $4,000, with
sufficient assets to considerably more
than cover the amount. He stated the
creditors would no doubt be paid in
full and with little delay, the only de-
lay being the time required to convert
the real estate into cash.

 But, even with her talent and promi- nent place in the world of art, it was
 surprise to most people when she was selected to do part of decoration of the new Capitol at Harrisburg. The sub- ject appeals strongly to Miss Oakley History of the earlist period in Pennsyl- vania has as yet been little used in mural design.
 Just how many years it will take i to complete the work Miss Oakley has no idea. As preliminary she went on
 a tour of Europe, visiting Assist, Venice i Naples, Rome and Florence, studying ! the work of the Italian masters of mural decorations and treasuring a ' wealth of suggestions.
 Then she went to England to obtain the historical data which were only to
 be obtained there. At the Kensington ! museum, Oxford and elsewhere Miss Oakley found the necessary groundwork for the compositions, and then returned 1 to her studio at Villa Nova to begin the ] designs. --Boston Globe. !,

 They form a unique and interesting group, these three clever American ; women, sympathetic in tastes and in ideals living by themselves amid the quaint surroundings of a bygone day. ! Each of the three has her special work but Miss Oakley unlike her companions,
 has not confined herself to illustration l only.
 It is in mural design and in stained glass work that she especially excels. Her decorations in the Church of All Angels in New York nave placed her | name foremost among the artists in that line of work.
