Mr.. SULLIVAN In TOWN
Democratic Candidate For Governor
Opens Campaign.

An audience that comfortably hlied
the lower part OF the opera house but
left the stage with its hundred or
more extra chairs painfully vacant,
greeted ]. B. sullivan, the democrat
ic candidate for governor, Friday
night. The meeting was the one big
democratic rally of the campaign, and
the leaders claim it fulfilled their ex-
pectations. Mr.. ]. P. Reese, of Abba,
erstwhile candidate for congress ana
now commissioner for the Iowa CoaY
Operators, was brought over to lend
dignity to the occasion and serve as
chairman of the evening.
Mr.. Sullivan lost no time In pIung-
ing into discussion of the tariff
question, to which he devoted much
of his attention. He explained that
he was not free trader but was OPP
posed to the republican policy of pro-
lection. He said he believed in tar
if for revenue but failed to expounu
the republican position He said all
the people Of the United States be
longed to one Of two schools. Those
who believe in maintaining govern.
ment by taxation and those who
thought it was right for the govern
ment to take dollar out of any mans
poeketbook The democrats belonged
to the former school and the infer.
ence was left that the republicans be
longed in the other. Salt and sugar
schedules were discussed, and Eng
lands present agitation of a proteC-
tive tariff system was ventilated in
Mr.. Sulliyan's way, He advocated
reciprocity With Canada and drove a
nail clear through any proposition
that suggested ship subsidies. He
then painted doleful picture of the
sorrowful Industrial conditions in Eng
land existing under free trade, but
charged all the blame on Joseph
Chamberlain and the Boer war.
On state issues he devoted much
time to taxes and tried to show that
the railroads were not carrying their
share Of the burden while the farmers
were overloaded. AS a finishing
touch he spoke a good word for the
local ticket and urged mis- hearers TO
vote the democratic tIcket,-to align
themselves with the only and great
party of democracy and reform.
Mr.. Sullivan is accompanied on his
travels by Mr.. Coffee, a representa-
tive of w. R. Hearst, alleged candi-
date for the presidency, who is writ
ing up the meetings fer the Chicago
American.

top man working at the Consolidation
Coal Co.'s mines, died very suddenly
and Unexpectedly at his boarding

cation will be made.

FIRST PRESBYTERIAN.
Special Sermons Continued BY the
Pastor, Rev. Engstrom.

The special sermons by Rev. Eng.
strom, of the Presbyterian church,
are proving quite popular and are at
tracing general attention. The SER
mon of Sunday evening was listened
to attentively by "a large audience.
The subject of the evening was, What
and Where is Heayen?" The scrip
lures were employed in showing as
sertions to have foundation and proof.
The discourse was covered under six
separate heads. One, Heaven is a
cosmopolitan place. Second, it is a
place where Christ as Savior is en-
throned Third, it is place of pur-
ity and peace. Fourth, it is a place
of reward Of fidelity. Fifth, it is a
place of degrees of reward. Sixth, it
is place of Spiritual service. Things
are sacred and not secular.
The services at this church Sunday
were rendered attractive and pleasur-
able by the excellent musical program
morning and evening. Miss Della
Jackson, of BrooklynsNew York, sang
at both services, The titles of solos
sung were"The Lord IS MY Shepherd"
and Il Heard the Voice of Jesus Say"
Both were rendered with rare excel
lence. ~

LITTLE GIRLS IN COURT.
Their ARREST May Lead to Some kw
full Disclosures.

A NUMBER of little girls about II
years of age have got into the police
court on account of misdeeds. Lar
ceny is charged and the matter is to
be thoroughly investigated. The In
vestigation may open a flowing foun'
tain Of police business, such as the
enticing of little girls to rooms, the
running about the streets at unseemly
hours of the night, running away from
home, incorrigibility, disobedience to
parents, willful mischief and worse
things. The city has a number of
candidates for the house of eorrec.
ton, both young girls and boys, and
the present case before Squire Stan.
ley may be but the beginning Of po.
lice action that will put stop to a
whole mess Of this sort of thing that
has been too long tolerated.
A search warrant was issued from
the Stanley court to recover some
two hundred dollars in gold and cur
rency that was stolen from one Joe
Briggers, who signed the information.
The suspect, against whom the war
rant was issued, proved clear alibi
and was released.
Officer Ruggenberg brought one
John Hayden from Evans and the de-
PENDANT was arraigned before Squire
Stanley charged with intoxication
and cruelty to animals.
Constable George andrews is out
of the city serving papers and Officer
of Evans, has been sery-
ing in his place in the city to-day.
