Donelson, Sept david Blackburn,
ex-marshall of Doneson, was shot and
killed by Town Marshall Ed. Reuther.
Blackburn was in @ saloon drunk.
Marshall Reuther went in and attempt
ed to arrest him. Blackburn refused
to go, saying, you can't arrest me-"
Thereupon Reuther drew his revolver
and shot Blackburn five times in the
heart. killing him instantly. Blackburn
was not armed but was very much
larger man than Reuther, and it is
believed the latter shot because he was
afraid of the intoxicated man. The five
shots entered the mans body over the
heart within radius of two inch IS,
any one of them would have been fatal.
Reuther was placed under arrest by
Mayor HentZler and taken to Fort
Madison for safe keeping. 1t is said
Blackburn and Reuther were on ordi-
narily good terms up to the hour of
shooting.

BOWS STILL IN RACE.
He Wants State senatorship, But Will
Not Make a Fight.


Special to Times Republican.
Cedar Rapids. Sept. Whether
Colonel Dows is or is not a candidate
for the republican nomine ton for sena-
tor is still in doubt. but one of his
friends said yesterday that he had
every reason to believe that Colonel
BOWS would gladly take The nomination
if it were offered him. but that he
would not make q ward canvas for 1t.
He said that Colonel Dows was too
busy building the interu-ban to devote
any time to personal solicitation in the
various wards, and moreover, he had
not the inclination to do 1t even if he
had the time. He thought, however.
that Colonel Bows would take the nom
inatlon if 1t came to him without work
ing for it and he thought that the
colonel ought not to be obliged to ask
for it.
Other party workers took a wholly
different view of the matter. Ihey
said that if Colonel Bows wants the
nomination he ought to say SO frankly,
and if he doesn't want 1t he ought to
say so with equal franlness and clear
UP the situation. For the past week
there have been rumors that Colonel
Bows would withdraw from the race In
Il few days and that he would have
withdrawn before this but for the So
licitation of some of his friends who
are more anxious that he shall be
candidate that he is himself.
Colonel Dows' frien1s feel that he
ought to have clear way this year.
Four years ago he retired from the
contest for the senate for the sake OF
party harmony, an act which was much
appreciated at that time especially by
the Marion friends of Senator Alexan-
der. They claim that Colonel BOWS
could have had the nomination at that
time If he had stood FOR It, Colonel
Dows and his friends worked hard for
harmony and made the way clear for
f.. ]. C.. Bealer to be noninated for the
house and elected. There is some feel
ing expressed that there is no return
made, voluntarily. for these generous
attitudes on the part of Colonel Dows.
Colonel Dows' friends oelieve that he
can carry every ward Il this city, un-
less 1t is one, where the sheriff contest
cuts considerable of a figure. The
friends OF Colonel Bows feel that he has
done and IS doing enough for Cedar
Rapids to be called to the senate
A man who is close to DIR. Wood
bridge said yesterday that there is no
foundation for the report that the doc
tor is likely to be a candidate for the
senatorshlp. 1t was first made by some
one wholly unaoquainted with the situ-
alton, he said. He said that DR.. Wood
bridges name had been used by some
men who wanted to embarrass Mr.. Mel
ter's candidacy. DR.. Woodbridge HIM
self has as yet had nothing to say.
Mr.. Stuckslager was in Cedar Rapids
last night conferring with his friends.
Mr.. Bauman, of Mount Vernon. who
has been looking after Mr.. Stucksla-
gers interests, said he stood fair
show of carrying many wards in Cedar
Rapids in case Colonel Bows IS not a
candidate.
Conservative republicans are anxious
to keep this friendly contest, as after
the nominations there comes an cleo
ton day.

Detroit Board of Commerce
Adopts Resolution Favorina
Canadian Reciprocity.

DETROIT, Mich, Oct 20.-The De-
troit board of commerce, at meeting
tonight, adopted resolution favoring
Canadian reciprocity and urging the
immediate reconyening of the joint
high commission for the purpose Of
negotiating a new reciprocity treaty
with Canada. The resolution points
out the geographical and commercial
reasons which, it is declared, make it
clear that the most immediate trade
relations would be mutually advan-
tageous and says:
THE disappointment of the Cana
dian people at the failure of the Brit
ish government to grant reciprocal ad-
vantages corresponding with their own
preferential tariff and the purpose of
the Canadian government to take the
initiative in reconvening the joint high
commission, combine to make this an
opportune time for entering anew upon
the negotiations looking to reciprocal
trade agreements; while the growing
independence of Canadian industries,
the possible adoption of a system of
preferential tariffs, applicable to all
British colonies and dependencies, and
the movement for raising the Dominion
tariffs, especially upon our manufac-
tured goods, in case a reciprocity
treaty is not negotiated, all give warn
ing of the danger of delay"

CUILTYOF CONTEMPT
Des Moines Men Are Fined for
Trying to influence Jurors.

Special to The Globe.
DIES MONIES. Iowa, Oct. 20.-Five
prominent Des Moines men were today
found guilty Of contempt sof court by
trying to influence jurors. Three were
fined to the fullest extent of the law.
They were w. L. White, E. H. Hunter,
]. o. Wells, Michael brady and F. A.
Marvin. Those against whom the Sc
verest punishment was directed are the
first three. It was admitted that no
Juror had been Influenced, but there
was evidence that attempts had been
made.
An appeal has been taken to the su-
'preme court on two grounds-that the
cases should have been dismissed upon
the presentation of the defendants
sworn statement of their innocence,
making action for perjury possible, and
that the court had no right to direct
the Introduction of testimony not wish
ed by either side.
