$4,000, for which no return isHR i'm
mediate sight, the channel beingfthe
local Office of the Geo. T. Sullivan
grain brokerage firm. Business has
been indefinitely suspended there and
the owners of the Century block, the
employees. a number of patrons and
others are wondering where they will
get their dues. Messrs. Talcott and
Giles were the local representatives,
but 1t is claimed they took every pre-
caution to protect the local interests
after it was discovered that the con-
Germ was involved. The concern had
a number of other offices N this sec
ton and their loss Will probably
equal the one here.
The Marks Music House, 315 7th
St, Des Moines. offers very special
prices on fine Pianos during next ten
days, and will allow railroad fare to
any out Of town purchaser. Their
stock of Pianos is considered finest in
the city. Immense stock of sheet
music and all musical instruments.
The third season of Ingersoll park
is now in full swing and will continue
through four months. The records Of
the past two years will be surpassed
in every way. The management OF
the park has expended over $4,000
improving the park and adding limo
vations and features designed exclu-
sively for the amusement and enter
tainment of Des Moines people during
the hot summer months. During the
week of the Elks' carnival, June 22-27.
the Beggar Prince Opera company
of 35 people will present comic opera
each evening, with several matinees.
Admission is absolutely free.
The greatest number Of deaths in
Iowa occur during the months of
March, September and October. This
is shown by the statistics being gath
cred by the fraternal insurance com
panies of Iowa. During the past
couple of years, number OF the lead
ing fraternal insurance organizations
have been securing data of the death
rate of persons of an age eligible to
membership in Iowa, the causes and
the seasons or months during which
the greatest number occur. While
they will not have the statistics COM
pleted for some time, they show that

the month of March. but the forty
days succeeding September 15 are a
close second. The parties who have
been gathering the statistics claim
that the cause of the increased death
rate during these months is due to
the change of the seasons, the win
ter's cold gradually changing to the
summers warmth during the month
of March, and vice versa during the
latter part of September and October.
People are careless in guarding
against the sudden changes in tho
weather and contract ailments which
prove fatal.
Northern Iowa politicians are be-
coming greatly interested in the fed
eral judgeship situation. Gossip about
the Hobbies Is to the effect that the re-
tirement OF Judge o. p Shiras, OK
Dubuque. is expected this fall, and
that It is likely to come about early
next November There is no doubt
knowledge of this fact has come to-
the aspirants for his place, and there
Is at present unusual activity among
them. The presence OF Senator
| Thomas ID. Healy In Des Moines has
| revived the reports connecting him
| with this office. Senator Healy Is an
| ayowed candidate for the federal
| judgeship for the northern Iowa dis
| trict. He is unquestionably preparing
! to make an active campaign for the
| place, and Is writing letters to his
friends requesting their support. He
J is recognized as formidable factor
| IN the situation In case OF the retire
ment of Judge Shiras. There are q
number of others, however. who are
seeking the place. +. F. Dawley, OF
| Cedar Rapids, formerly associated
in the law business with Judge N. M.
Hubbard and an able lawyer. is q
candidate. Others mentioned are
| Craig Wright. of Sioux City: Judge
+. Fl. Helsell, of Storm Lake; ]. G.
| Longueville, of Dubuque: Judge Cliff
| ford p. Smith. Of Mason City. and
| Judge John c. Sherwin, also Of Mason
City. a member of the state supreme
court. There is no doubt the cam
| paign for the appointment will develop
into a most interesting contest.
