WOODMEN MEMORIAL.
Local Lodge Pays Tribute to Its
Departed Members.

The memorial services of the local
camp, No. 260, of the Modern Wood
men. were held in the Christian
church Sunday afternoon at two o.
clock. About one hundred and fifty
Of the members of the lodge turned
out and marched from the hall to the
church in a body. The address of the
afternoon was by Rev. J. P. McKnigh,
of the Christian church, assisted by
Rev. A. c. Kaye, Of the Congregation
al church, who read the Scripture and
offered the invocation and benedic
ton. Rev. Meningitis subject was
"The Debt of the Strong to the
Weak" 1t was very excellent ad
dress and the members of the lodge
speak in the very highest terms of it
A number of beautiful musical selec
lions were sung by the Christian
church quartet which were highly ap
preciated.
At the close of the services at the
church the lodge marched to Forest
cemetery, headed by the Iowa Brigade
band, which furnished the music at
the services there. Besides about one
hundred and fifty members of the 10
cal camp there were about twenty car
riages in the line and visitors from
camps at Fremont, Lakonta, Rose
Hill, Givin, Kansas City and Des
Moines.
The ritualistic service of the lodge
was held at the cemetery, after which
eight graves were decorated. Half OF
this number are buried outside of the
city, but flags and flowers were placed
in the cemetery in honor of them.
The graves of VIM. Andrews, buried
in the Friends cemetery, and John
Cease, who is buried in the Old GENE
terry, were decorated last Sunday
morning by the committee.
The names of those whose graves
were decorated yesterday are: George
Carson, Allen Boyuls, H.. A. Gum and
George Newbrand,, and outside of the
city, Horace Sanders, buried at LIE
Grand; Frank Ogburn,at Union Mills;
Will Loot, at Davenport, and L. w.
Kinney, at Richland.
About twenty of the Royal Neigh
bors joined in the services with the
Woodmen.

SATURDAY NIGHT FIRE
Home Of Officer Pat Leeney Badly
Damaged by Flames.

The home of Pat Leeny, on West A
avenue, was considerably damaged by
fire Saturday night about nine o'clock.
Mrs. Leeny and little girl had left the
house and gone up town about twenty
minutes before the flames were dis
covered, and the alarm was turned in
by neighbors. When the department
reached the place the flames already
had a good start and were darting out
of the windows of the rooms upstairs.
A stream Of water on the outside and
the chemical apparatus on the inside
Of the house, however, soon got the
fire under control. A greater part of
the furniture from rooms down stairs
was removed before the department
reached the scene and except for a
few scratches it was not damaged.
The furniture upstairs was not re-
moved and the fire and water have
ruined most of it. A large amount OF
repairing will be necessary on the
house. The ceiling in the room where
the fire was the worst was burned
through and the roof of the house was
badly charred.
No one was in the house at the time
and the origin of the fire is unknown.
Mrs. Leeney had left the front door
open and light burning in the front
hall. People living across the street
say that they saw flash in the front
of the house and as the lamp was
found broken on the floor, it is sup
posed that it exploded. The curtain
on the window over the stairs near
the lamp was burned and the mating
which covered the floors of the hall
and rooms upstairs could easily have
caught fire from this cause, as the
lamp was held by a bracket at the
side of the stairs.
The damage to both the house and
the goods is fully covered by insur'
ance.
Shortly after the fire, as the Iowa
Central passenger No. from the
north was coming through the yards
the hind trucks of the baggage cal
left the track at the A avenue cross
ing. No damage was done except tt
the crossing, but the train was delay
ed about an hour before the wheels
were again on the track.

IOWA REPUBLICANISM.
Tomorrows Convention Will be-
Marked With Harmony.

Des Moines, June 30-Delesates to
the republican state convention ON
Wednesday began to pour into the
city in earnest last evening. Every
incoming train brought large quota,
and the prediction that owing to the
absence of contests the convention
would not be as large as usual went
glimmering. The hotels already are
filled, and by this afternoon it is ex-
pected will be overfowirg. .
The contest for the nomination for
state superintendent took form late
last night when the delegates began
to pour into the hotels, asking first.
about the platform and then about lie,
nomination for the only Office over
which there is a controversy.
Representative N. e. Kendall arriv-
ed early in the evening and took;
charge Of the headquarters of J. +.
Riggs, of Keokuk county. Senator
Brooks, Of Keokuk county, also was
one Of the Riggs workers who came in
during the afternoon and went to-
work. Jack" Morrison, of Hedrick,
will be associated with Mr.. Kendall
in the management of the campaign.
All interest centers in the platform
utterance of the convention. The
prevailing thought of the convention
will be elimination of factional differ
ences. The effort will be made to
make a clear and definite statement
of the political views of the majority
of the Iowa republicans upon the is
sues of the day-not an effort to sup
press protest with mental reserva-
lions, not to override opinions and
silence criticism, but to reach. a COM
mon ground where all may stand with
security. Leaders of the party are
confident that platform will be pre-
pared and adopted that will meet
with the approval Of all republicans,
one that will be hailed by the most
ardent stand-patter as just to his llk-
ing, and yet which will so contain the
essence of all that the revisionists
have contended for that they will be
first to support the platform. The
discussion will be before the adoption
of the platform and not afterwards.
Some weakness was felt in the posi-
ton last year when the platform was
adopted unanimously in convention
and after the convention the bitterest
controversy arose among the dele
gates who had attended. A little lat
er a conference of candidates was
held which served only to reopen the
whole controversy over trivial details
and develop that the work OF the con-
yention was after all only superficial.
Now it is proposed that whatever
of differences the republicans have
shall be fought out before the conven-
ton closes its work, so that there can
be no complaining afterwards. When
the convention adjourns it is believed
that an end will be put to factional
matters In the party.

He has done nearly a hundred dollars

building that Silverthorn has built for
Mr. Brown, and the quality OF the
work will stand inspection. The "old
timers" that were at the barn raising
said that they never saw a building
in their memory go together better
than this one did. George took the
job of putting up this barn from the
trees in the timber. He cut the trees
down, sawed off the logs, hauled them
to his saw mill, sawed them into lum-
Der and then framed the building and
put it up. He even built the brick
walls for the foundation. The build
ing as it now stands shows for itself
what Georges work has done since
last winter when the trees stood in
the timber.

Could Have Reen Made Without The
 Hague Tribunal.
 WASHINGTON, May II. How Great Britain, Germany and Italy for the asking could have secured from Venezuela preferential treatment in the settlement of their claims had they asked in time and thereby been relieved of the necessity of an appeal to The Hague, with its consequent expense and delay, Is told by Herbert w. Bowen, who acted as VeneZuela's plenipotentiary in the peace negot1a- tions at Washington, who has the cor respondence and cablegrams relating to the Venezuelan protocols. -.-
 It shows that President Castro con- ferred on MT. Bowen two sets of pow CTS, one authorizing him to conduct me- gotiations exclusively with the repre- sentatives of the allied powers, Great Britain, Germany and Italy, and the other granting him full authority to effect settlement with the repre- sentatives of all nations having claims against Venezuela.
 MT. Bowen on the day of his ar rival here called at the embassies of the allied powers to present his ere dentials. He presented first his full powers, though expecting that these would be- olajscted to promptly, in which event he intended to fall back on the original powers granted him. Instead the Italian and British ann bassadors and the German charge &C., cepted without question MT. Bowen's letters empowering him to negotiate with all the creditor nations.
 Tn so doing they waived at the out set the question of separate or prefer ential treatment for their governments and this point was not raised until the peace protocols were practically ready for signature.

 MT John F. Holohan:
 Dear 'Sir:-I hereby give you notice of declination of the nomination for registrar of voters. It seems to me that all factions of the democratic party should be willing to concede something for the sake of harmony, and I am sure that my nomination at this time would simply widen the the breach.
 I trust that all factions of the demo cratic party will look at the matter from a standpoint of what is necessary for party success and join hands for the nomination of a democratic ticket in which factional fights shall have no part.
 Yours,

ATTEMPT TO DYNAMITE UMRRlA

Internal Mach3ne on Dock Ready to Destroy CunRrder.
 NEW YORK, May 11.-An attempt steamship Umbria, with passengers and crew of TOO aboard.
 Just before the big ocean liner sailed an internal machine containing a hun dred pounds of dynamite was found on the dock at the foot of the first cabin gangway ready to be taken aboard the ship.
 Fuses were already burning, and it Is estimated by the police that the spark would have touched the dyna- mite within five minutes.
 The letter of warning sent to police headquarters said
 you well.
 At the Cunard dock is a box con- taining hundred pounds of dynamite. Inside of that is a machine that will explode the stuff within thirty six hours.
 "The society has declared war against England and has ordered the destruction of every steamer flying the British flag that sails out of New York harbor."
 Detectives were sent on the run to the pier, and they notified Captain Watson, the superintendent of the Gu nard dock, and MT. Floyd, the agent of the line. ... .'
 When Captain Thomas Dutton of the Umbria was informed of the plot to blow up the vessel he declined to sail until the box was found The police found the box without difficulty. It was roped and thrown into the water.
 At the dock it was said that the box had been delivered there by two Itai- ians. One Of these men was tall and dark and smooth shaved.
 The only description of his eompan- ion obtained so far is that he was of medium build and of dark complexion. The two drove. up to the pier in small dark green wagon such as may be seen used by peddlers on the east side
