ut is understood that Ft. Dodge, is
after franchise and it might not be a
bad idea to have this live town in the
circuit. The mileage might be in
creased somewhat by taking it in, but
it would be better for the league to
confne it's membership to good, live
towns than to have lot of dead ones
on the circuit FIT. Dodge will surely
support a team.
'Centerville, Ia, has also expressed
a willingness to come in and by a lit
tie hustling this town would stand a
good show
"Of all the towns mentioned, Oska-
loosa seems to be the most backward.
This town can hardly afford to stand
back and see rival towns in this vicin-
ity members of this league.
IN Ottumwa the street car mag
mates, Frank b. Clark, j. w. Garner
and T. ii Phillips have been doing
e..iie Ahustlingg, and it is by their efforts
together with those of Fred Sanborn
that this city has made the progress it
has in organizing. The amount pledg-
ed for 1904 is $4,000 and a popular IS
subscription will be started soon in
order to raise about $1,000 more"
Owens Goes to Minneapolis.
". H. Watkins Of the Minneapolis
American association baseball club

CIVIL SERVICE BILL TO
BE INTRODUCED SOON.
(Continued from Page 1.l

Sankey and Cassel bills. These bills
are for the enactment of a valued pol
icy law.
The insurance men have insisted all
along that they would hake no effort
whatever to stop any legislation detri
mental to their interests which might
be proposed in the legislature this win
ter. 1t is noticed however, that as
soon as Mr. Sankey introduced his
bill there was d stream of insurance
men in the city. Dell Huntoon of Du
buque is now here and is said to rep
resent the insurance interests of the
state in an effort to kill the bills.
Carroli's Insurance Ideas.
The joint committee meeting of the
house and senate yesterday was de-
voted to an address by Auditor of
State Carroll with respect to his rec
concentrations for changes in the in
surance laws. He especially hopes
that policy of life insurance may be
defined. This the governor also rec
commended. Many members of the
committee are in favor of the PROPOSE
ton but the manner in which to devise
such a definition is the thing that puz-
zles even the lawyers.
No Insurance Department.
No suggestion has yet been heard
relative to the establishment of an in
surance department. 1t is believed
that there will be no such proposition.
Neither the auditor nor the governor
are in favor of it.
Monument to Timothy Brown.
Representative Wilson, of Washing
ton, and Senator Young of the same
county have introduced bills in their
respective houses for the appropria-
ton of $500 for the erection of mon
nment to Timothy Brown, the revoll-
tionary soldier who is buried in Wash
ington county. This will make seven
of these monuments in the state, If
the appropriation is made and 1t prob
ably will be.

THREE MORE CRIMINALS.
Case Now Before Officers May Rival
 Famous Car Barn Bandits.


 Chicago, July 8.-Three men, whose crimes are said to rival those of the car barn bandits, Vandyne, Neidermeir and Marx, are being held by the po- lice here while an investigation is be- ing made of assaults, hold-ups and train robberies the prisoners are ac- cused of.
 The existence of the band, whose members say they are "the original automatic trio, became known through tho confession of one of them, Truman H. Wilkinson, who lies at the point of death from a bullet wound received after he and his companions had held up and shot J. c. Miller, sec retary of a labor union. Suffering from the morta- wound, Wilkinson made a confession duplicating his two companions, Charles Pheloyn and Will liam Erwin, who were surprised and captured in room. Later the two men also confessed.
 The prisoners admitted committing the robbery of Northern Pacific train at Bearmouth, Mont, recently, but said nothing of a shooting which took place there. In hls confession Pheloyn spoke of having committed numerous robberies, one of which was jewelry store at Waukegan, H., when 5000 worth of jewelry was secured. Pheloyn boasts of hav.ng lived in style at Chi cago hotels. All three prisoners told of an alleged fortune of $26,000 buried by them in Indiana.

 that came at him from all sides. Water was thrown on him and in a few minutes he scrambled desperately for release. When he reached the floor he remarked: That water felt good" But he declined to give his name.
 A second gentleman with red whiskers mounted chair and attempted a speech. He too, was pelted down. and a police man took him to the outer darkness. Demonstration for Editor Candidate.
 Meantime the demonstration for the editor candidate went on, rising and fall- ing in degree. The band played and the delegates carrying Hearst pictures and flags and state standards kept up their perspiring march through the aisles.
 When half hour had elapsed Senator Bailey of Texas took the presiding off, cer's chair and began rapping for order. It was some time beforet the enthusiasna which now was confined to the galleries, and principally was disorder. could be quieted.

 Your committee to wait on the commit tee on resolutions report that they have discharged that duty The committee in- forms up that they will be unable to re- port to this convention until o'clock tonight, at which time they will bring to you an unanimous report signed by every member of the committed"
 Great applause and cheers greeted this last statement, and as soon as MT James could be heard again he continued:
 New York. Nebraska, Virginia and Wisconsin have all joined hands and will bring in platform that will carry us to a glorious victory in November"
 Again the convention voiced its pleas rre at the news, and a mighty shout went up.

THOROUGHBREDS
 TO NART TODAY
BIO RACERS WILL CONTEST FOR S25,oO0 PURSE CF THE ERICH TON HANDlCAP-FlNE TRACK PROMISED FOR EVENT.

New York. July s.-For purse of s25.o0o, the prize of the Brighton handicap, the greatest horses in America are carded to struggle tomorrow at Brighton Beach. The track has been deluged with rain at intervals during the past two days, but this afternoon, under a stiff wind and bright sun, it dried out rapidly and should be in good condition when the thorough breds face tho starter.
 Eleven horses are on the liat but sev- eral of these are doubtful starAers. Water Boy, owned by J. E. Haggin of Califor- nia, won the Brighton of last year and in so doing set a record for the mile and one-quarter since equalled, but has train- ed in grand style for tomorrow's contest. He will be ridden by Lucien Lyme. Ort Wells, from the stable of John A. Drake, is the opponent Water Boys trainers are watching.
 Hermis, winner of the Suburban has a world of speed, but on account of the slight lameness after winning the Test handicap on Wednesday, he may not be capable of his best work, if, indeed, he is not withdrawn
 The Picket has shown well in his train ing, but will have a different sort of race to run from the Brooklyn handicap which he won. Irish Lad is a doubtful starter. For the others on the list, little favor can be found except for High Ball, win ner of the American derby.
 The probable starters, weights and jockeys and odds are:
 Five to one, Ortwell .(O'Nefl) 10S
 Four to one, Irish Lad QIildebrand) 127.

MEMPHIS PLANT SOLD.
United States Car Go. Buys Property of Southern Car anI Foundry Go.

Anniston, July 8.-(Special )-The large plant of the Southern Car and Foundry company at Memphis has been sold to the United States Car company ol Chicago. The deal was made by the receivers and the pur chase price paid them is quite a large sum. This is one of the steps the re- ceivers are taking towards winding up the affairs of the defunct company Already the plant at Lenoir City has been sold and the plant here returned to the owners, so that the selling Of the Memphis plant leaves only the Gadsden plant on their hands along with large amount of material at the local plant and at the Gadsden plant.
 Should this material and the Gads- den plant be solI it is very probaDle that the receivers would call an early settlement with the creditors, thus making many souls happy. The United States company is one of the largest manufacturers in the country and they will probably begin work with the Memphis plaLt in a short time.

aponse.) MT. Rose proceeded with an ar raisnment of Parker's candidacy in such strong terms that a point of order was raised by. Oscar L. Miles. a Kansas dele gate, who yelled amid the upr0ar when Chairman Bailey asked him to state it.
 The gentleman is not speaking in be- half of candidate, but in general ar raignment of the democratic party"
 Cries of Right were heard above the nproar.
 Chairman Bailey overruled the point of order with the statement that 1t was not within the province of the chair to pass upon what speaker should say
 T wish to say that I do not wish to stir up row. declared Mir Rose after he was allowed to resume The sentence however, was met with cries of derision
 A. J. Barr, a Pennsylvania delegate, in- terjected that the speaker had no right to resume along the same lines.
 When MT. Rose declared that he pre- -Ited things fin spirit of good fellow ship" he was interrupted with cries of derision.
 MT. Rose grew rapidly unpopular and was interrupted with cries and stamping But he persisted and finally, amid much confusion, named Edward c. Wall as I Wisconsins s candidate.
 North Carolina gave a second to the Parker nomination
 Chairman Cole of the North Dakota del- egation took the platform and announced that he had name to present to the convention that had not yet been pre- sented as 8 candidate
 Who is he?" demanded the convention
 I'll name him." retorted MT. Cole, who proceeded with his speech. The candidate we wish to present to you" he continued, seems to have only one objection, and that is he comes from too far south"
 At last MT Cole got to the end which was the declaration that his candidate was John Sharp Williams of Mississippi.
 A round of applause followed the name of the democratic leader in the house. Neither Ohio nor Oregon had a candidate to endorse and Michael J. Ryan of Penn sylvania seconded the nomination of Parker

speech seconding the nomination of Judge Parker. The quiet of exhaustion prevail ed as MT. O'Donnell proceeded and ap- proval of his utterances was confined to handclapping.
 After the applause which followed O'Donnell's conclusion, Connecticut was called. Alston S. Cummings was recog- nized and took the platform to second the nomination of Parker.
 Many of the spectators began leaving the floor and galleries, and the tramp of | their feet was a new disturbing element
 L. Irving Handy of Delaware followed
 MT Cummings and nominated Judge
 George M. Gray. He began by saying:
 Delaware offers to you her noblest,
 bravest and best" and a cheer went up lead by the Delaware delegation Before Mir Handy closed the disorder became so
 pronounced that the clerk announced
 that the chair indulged the hope that the guests would permit the business to
 proceed unmolested." The speaker fin ished amid brief cheering. "Florida," called the clerk.
 Mir Beard of that state proceeded to second the nomination of Hearst.
 Georgia" called the clerk
 ''The chair recognizes Moses Wright of
 Georgia" called Senator Bailey, and MT. Wright took the stand to second Parker. He spoke in clear tones and held the attention of the convention closely.
 Calls or Cut 1t Out. Another Parker shout greeted the speaker when he mentioned the name of the New York candidate and the crowd thought that was the conclusion of his speech. He continued, however. and was promptly advised by the irrevelant in the gallery ito cut 1t out" He failed to take the advice, however, and was greeted by chorus of cries, intended to drown him out. He, however, finished his address in few words more and got round of applause.
 At 12:oS o'clock Idaho was called, but no response.
 Illinois" shouted the clerk, and Clar- ence Darrow of that state was presented and began speech seconding the nom- ination of Hearst.
 He made this fact plain at the outset and at the name of Hearst the galleries vented their enthusiasm when he said: s'It seems to be fate that the men who once scuttled the democratic ship shall once more be placed in power There were cheers and hisses .srhe democrats of Jefferson, the de- mocracy of Bryan," was a phrase from MT. Darrow which struck the convention. After the shout which followed a voice from the gallery behind the platform rang out: "Three cheers for Bryan." The cheers were given with A will MT
