tomorrow in Des Moines-the confer
ence of the straight out democrats and
the jefferson day banquet. But little
appears to be known as We. as to the
conference. 1t is to be strictly for those
who believe in standing by the Kansas
City and Chicago platforms on which
propose effecting such an organization
as will prevent any compromise or va
cillation in the state convention this
year or next year. 1t was to encourage
and strengthen these people that Bryan
was especially invited to come. The
banquet is wide open affair, none
barred, no select list or exclusive at
tendance, but every one willing to put
up $3.50 can participate. Walt Butler
is to be POSTMASTER, and the invocation
will probably be by Rev. Father Nugent.
The speeches will be:
"Americanism," Charles o. Holiey,
Des Moines.
"Plutocracy." j. ]. Shea, Council
Bluffs.

ton.

far into the night, but the 800 demo-

means nas.ain tnat the speakers VIII ali

Weaver may be unable to come and
will send a ringing letter. Mr.. Hearst
and Mr.. Stevenson, 1t Is asserted. VIII

they may choose The speech by Judge
yanWagenen will be largely sum-
mary of his more elaborate speech
delivered at Waterloo on the same sub
ject. Mr.. Bryan's speech is unlimited
as to time and the subject admits of
some variations. The event, banquet
and conference taken together, will be
of more than state Importance, with
two who have been presidential can-
didates, and one who has been vice.
president and another who would like
to be a presidential candidate. The

A DAVENPORT SCANDAL.
Adultery Charge Brought Against
August SchundIer at Davenport.

Special to Times Republican.
Davenport, April Prospects for
sensational developments in the adul-
terry charge filed against August
Schundler by his wife yesterday, are
promised. Mrs. Schundler could not
be found today but persons who are as
sisting her in her quest for evidence
against her husband say that she will
experience no difficulty in establishing
the truth and justice of her charges.
She will no doubt be able to secure ey-
idence that her husband has committed
adultery with more than one woman
and IL she does not vince before the
trial will be able to convict him.
Mr.. Schundler, according to the al
legations. has been employed for three
years in this city and during that time
his lawful wife has been supporting
their two children in Chicago. She
was unaware of his Illicit relations
with other women, however, until last
week, when she discovered his double
life.
1t seems that last spring Schundler
went into a local merchandise store
accompanied by woman, who has
since been proven to be Matte Mil
Ter. This woman he introduced to the
manager Of the firm as his wife, and
authorized them to give her goods
that she might desire to purchase and
to charge the same to his account. The
Miller woman continued to make pur-
chases at the store and Schundler al
ways footed the bills. Matters went
along In this channel for a long time
until the tastes of the woman became
