The report for the first six

was decided to let the matter
drop.
A communication from county
clerk Moses was read giving the
assessed valuation OF all taxable
property in the city of Philo-
math. The valuation is $S7,545
little higher than usual. The
levy was not made owing to the
fact that the budget OF indebted
ness and expenses could not be
estimated from the incomplete
reports turned in. An adjourned
session was decided upon for
next Monday night to settle this
matter if possible and transact
any other necessary unfinished
business. The levy will probably
be about as usual.

ELIMINATING EACH OTHER.

Chicago Chronicle.-About the time
the movement for Mr. Olney began in
Massachusetts that gentleman instead
of helping along his own boom, made a
speech declaring himself not candi-
date, but in favor Of Mr.. Cleveland,
and even after the Massachusetts, dele
cation had been instructed for him he
chung to that attitude.
Then Mr.. Cleveland took occasion
to declare that he is not at all a can
didate himself. but is for Mr.. Parker,
though he would apparently be just as
much in favor of Mr.. Gray, of Della
ware, or of Mr.. Olney, if either would
accept a nomination.
day or two ago on the eve of the
democratic convention in Delaware,
Mr.. Gray strongly advised that con-
rention against instructing for any
body. and more especially himself. as
he Is not a candidate at all and is in
favor of Mr.. Parker.
There is a touch of humor in the
way these distinguished gentlemen
have thus eliminated themselves and
each other from the contest, but it
clears the air at all events.
Not counting some things that never
ought to have been born, this leaves
only Mr.. Parker and Mr.. Bryan among
the talked of" who remain willing,
or at least have not refused, to be con-
sidered as candidates.

WEDNESDAY CONVENTION DAY.

Tomorrow is convention day for the
republicans of the sixth congressional
district. Delegates to this convention
from the seven counties com prising the
sixth district will arrive in Ottumwa
tonight and tomorrow morning. AT
2:3O o'clock in the afternoon the con-
yention will be called to order in the
court room by Hon. Ellsworth Roming-
er of Bloomfield, chairman of the con-
gressional central committee. 1t is
not anticipated that the session Of the
convention will be of very great
length in as much as the work of the
convention has been practically decid-
ed at the primaries and county conven-
lions held through the district. The
most important work is the renominat-
ing of Major ]. F. Lacey for congress.
So faithful and efficient has been his
services during the years that he has
been a member of the lower house of
congress that the people OF the district
have declared that he should be re
nominated for that Office. 1t but re-
mains, therefore, for the delegates to
the Ottumwa convention to ratify this
decision of the people and this will be
done on short order.
The rest of the program for tomor-
rows convention might be well char
acterized as lovefcast, as such 1T is
expected to be- The denomination OF
President Roosevelt is the one thing
for which republicans of the sixth dis
trict are looking and the carrying ou1
of his present policies of administra-
ton is the thing they desire. In order
that they may take a part in making
this last wish sure, they purpose to
renominate and re-elect Major John f
Lacey to congress.
Sixth district republicanism numbers
many able men in its ranks and 1t is te
be expected that number OF these
will be heard tomorrow at the conven
ton. This will add further to the en-
| joyment of the occasion.

COST OF COLORADO STRIKES.

1t has been estimated that the cost
of the various strikes in Colorado dur
ing the past sixteen months will ag-
gregate S23,036,000. OF this sum the
state has had to eXpend about $685., 900
to keep the troops in the field for the
protection of life and property. The
strikers and others affected by the
fight have lost in wages. etc, sums that
will total $22, 100000 President Camp,
bell of the Colorado Mine Operators
association, estimates that the loss to
the metalliferous miners alone will
reach nearly $5,000.000 and it is be
lieved that the total cost to the state
will reach the million mark
With the exception of short periods
the state militia has been in the field
continuously since 1908, at various
points in the state. Aside from the
financial loss inflicted by the strikes
there has been considerable loss OF
life and long list of manned and
wounded.
Taking into account the losses al
ready incurred and those which will
follow if the strike IS continued. II
would appear to be wisdom upon the
part of the contending parties if they
would at once end the strife and re
sumo the operations of the mines.

words which could be spoken.
The loss is one in common to all
the people of the city. Primarily as
a business man Mr. Buchanan has for
years come into close contact with
Ottumwans and in all his dealings has
displayed those traits of integrity for
which he is SO beloved. The same quail
tiles of energy and sincerity displayed
in the conduct of his business have been
evidenced in the many activities with
which he has been connected. He has
long been a devout member of the
Presbyterian church and his adherence
thereto has been marked by strong
conviction and consistent life. AS a
servant of the public. first as a mem
Der of the city council and later mem
Der Of three state legislatures, he has
always taken a high place among his
fellow laborers. His work in
these fields has always been
Influenced by the one high
motive-the welfare of his con
stituents.
His life has been an inspiration to
those with whom he has come in con
tact and in death his memory will be
cherished by his hundreds of friends
and acquaintance.

Hon. Frank S. Black of New York
who will place the name of Theodore
Roosevelt in nomination for the presi-
dency at the Chicago convention is
much given to the use of epigrams. In
fact so much SO that he is said to
think in them. His style of thought
and speech is shown in some of his
recent utterances given in the follow
ing:
A mugwump under the microscope
is nothing but democrat with wings.
Don't follow mugwump for his vir-
tue is only disappointment and his hon
esty is but the absence of opportunity.
1t is to the credit of Grover Cleve-
land that they see more in him than
he does in them. He is at least more
honest than they,for he does not claim
to have reformed; he only appears to
have forgotten.
The time to determine what his
tory shall be is before it is completed,
for once closed, it can never be chang
ed or recalled. 1t is part of the pub
lie possession and in this relentless
fact lies the supreme misfortune of the
democratic party.

70 CELEBRATE IOWA DAY.

Next Friday, June II, will be observ'
ed as Iowa day at the Louisiana Pur,
chase exposition. Though early, it is
exceedingly fitting that this day should
have been chosen in which Iowans
shall celebrate. 1t was on this date
231 years ago that civilized man first
beheld the land which is now embraced
within the borders of the state. Pre-
parations are being completed to make
this a memorable occasion.
Governor A. B. Cummins and his en-
tire staff will be present, as will also
many other prominent Iowans. Elk
cursions have been arranged from all
parts of Iowa for June Is and II, tick
cts to be good for one week. Doubt
less many Iowans will take advantage
of these rates and it may be assumed
that thousands of people from the
Hawkeye state will be present and
participate in the celebration of Iowa
day.

OPERATIONS IN FAR EAST.

Operations of great military import
ance are approaching in the far east,
if they are not now in progress. The
Japanese are close enough and have
begun to harass the Port Arthur gar
rison by land, while the vigilant and
resourceful Togo of the Japanese navy
continues to worry the forces of the
czar by the sea. Meanwhile General
Kuroki, commanding the first Japanese
army, has been driving the Russians
back along the road to Mukden. Other
Japanese detachments have attacked
the Russians with success. The latter
operations in themselves seem to have
little significance, but they probably
have been instituted to act as blind
to distract the close attention of the
Russians from Port Arthur and pre-
vent them from giving effective assist
ance to their beleaguered fellow coun-
trymen.

TERMS OF PEACE.

Kansas City Journal.-In her last
note, published February 5, in which
was couched the Japanese declaration
of war against Russia, Japan practi-
cally declared the sole purpose of tax
Ing this momentus step was to pre-
serve the independence and territorial
integrity of the Corean empire. But
its broadcast sense by one of her diplo-
mats, was to secure "a permanent
peace for Eastern Asia"
The adjustment originally proposed
by Japan last August embraced five
points She wished Russia to engage
to respect the independence and in
tegrity of Korea and China, to main
tain the open door in those countries,
to recognize the preponderating inter-
est of Japan in Corea and allow ia
pan to take proper steps to protect that
interest. to recognize the exclusive
right of Japan to give advice and as
sistance to Corea, and to give Japan a
free permit to extend a railroad system
through Corea, Manchuria and in East
ern China.
There can be little doubt that If
Russia could now do so without loss
to honor and prestige she would glad
| ly welcome peace upon these terms,
but it is not so certain that Japan
would consent to any such agreement.
Japan now possesses Corea and all
Southern Manchuria. In few short
months of war she has got more than
she could have obtained by many years
of peaceful negotiations. What she
has this time she will be inclined to
hold. 1t is very certain that if the
fortunes Of war continue as they have
begun, Russia will have no exit to
sthe Pacific south of Vladivostok, and
probably none north of that point, un.
less powers not engaged in the hos
tilities step in and force a different
adjustment. The problems which will
result. from the present war will be
very difficult to settle. Victory, II
continued, will make Japan bold and
develope her avarice and ambitions
She will at last demand advantages
on the continent to recompense her fol
losses and damages sustained by the
war. This, most likely, would NEAR
permanent occupation, unless the
greater powers prevent such a result

VICE PRESIDENTIAL SITUATION.

Kansas City Star.-The republican
situation with reference to the vice
presidential domination seems to be
something like this: Speaker Can
non, though hard pressed to give his
consent, has declared, as emphatically
as man can declare, that he will not
have the nomination; Senator Fair
banks seems willing to take it, if it
comes to him without a contest, and
Representative Hit, who is eminently
fit. and who frankly expresses his de-
sire for the honor. Is making very little
Roadway with his candidacy Just al
this time it seems more probable that
an effort will be made to place the
nomination where it is not wanted
than where it is sought.
