THE DEBATE AT EUTAW
BANKHEAD AND HoBsoN IN
 GREENE COUNTY.
Rival Candidates for Congress in the Sixth District Pursue Their Us- tial Lines of Argument
 Before Large Crowd.

Eutaw. March Especial. )--The court house was taxed to its utmost capacity today to hear the joint debate between Bankhead and Hobson. The latter spoke one hour and twenty minutes, de- livering his usual speech. He con demned Bankhead for neglest of duty and declared that he was a friend of the railroads and had fought bills to give the railroad commission more power to control them. He condemned the locks on the Warrior River, saying they should have been made larger, but promised if elected to see that they were completed. He denounced Bankhead for opposing his retirement from the navy. claiming he was justly entitled to 1t. He claimed that this district was entitled to more rural free deliveries.
 Colonel Bankhead answered the charges which had been made and referred to the navy bill of Captain Hobson,s saying he opposed 1t. Bankhead said that if the Congress of the United States passed the bill the other countries of the world would consider 1t a declaration of war, and combine their forces and cross the waters and wipe us off the earth. He said he favored taking the money and building good roads and would work to that end. He referred to Captain Hob- sons retirement from the navy. saying he opposed 1t. as the board which had been selected to examine his eyes re- ported him fit for active duty. and that if retired over the boards finding. 1t would set precedent which would soon rid tho navy of many of its officers. Per sonally. he wished Captain Hobson had been retired, but no blame could be at tached to him in this matter.
 Referring to the locks lle said they were built under the supervision of the best engineers of the United States and that after securing the appropriation he had nothing more to do with them.
 Owing to throat, trouble. Bankhead did not occupy his full time, but in con cluding. he said the people of the Sixth District should not make this personal matter, hut should consider which one of the candidates could benefit the dis trict the most and if Hobson was the one 1t was their duty to send him to Congress
 Hobson was given a twenty minutes reply. a=

Aurelia Citizens Are Successful
In Their Crusade Against
Prevailing LaWlessness
DUE TO WORK OF INDIVIDUALS
Forty of AureIia's Weaithies and Most
Respectable Citizens Sign Agreement
to Pay $25 Per Year For Five Years
to See That the Law Is Enforced
State News.

Aurelia, Aug. 11.-Aurelia is now
without an open saloon, for the first
time in several years. Heretofore 1t
has been hard for the people to drive
out the saloon men. AS often as they
were arrested they would be fined $500
and $3.50 would always be RENTED dur
on good authority, that Hartman Bros,
of this place, have about $4,000 Of re-
mitted fines unpaid, they having been
in the business for several years. For
the past year they were assessed $50
to SIS per month by the mayor, which
was illegal, and during this time the
mayor could not or would not fine a
man for being drunk as he was him
self assessing an Illegal saloon. AS a
result not drunk was ever fined when
brought in by the marshal. The better
class Of our people have grown tired
of so much uI,lawfulness and now forty
of the wealthiest and most respectable
citizens have signed an agreement TO
pay s25 each per year for FIVE years to
see that the law is enforced. Then
the council said they had not money
enough to light the street lights since
the saloon fine was removed, and
the town was In darkness. So these
citizens who put the saloons out OF
business took it upon themselves to
furnish funds for the street lights and
now we have no saloons, and lights just
the same.

cold blooded crime, OF which the jury
found him guilty, and which was the
worst ever committed in this part OF
the state. He also declares public
sentiment is against the pardon and
calls the governors attention to the
eminently fair trial Novak had.
NJ. j. Wade says that he considers
Novak fortunate that he escaped
death. He assumes the pardon WIN not
be seriously considered.
Cashier j. T. Mcclure of the Wat
kins Savings bank declares the people
are against the pardon. The crime
was premeditated, Novak's trial was
fair, and personally he believes NoVak
should have been hanged. The ma
iority of the people of the community
concur in this view.
William Huntington says that Novak
has no call to apply for clemency. he
says the crime was planned before
hand, and Novak's record does not en-
title him to extraordinary considera-
ton. Moreover, public sentiment Is
overwhelmingly against the pardon.
Ed L. Swan was deputy marshal OF
Cedar Rapids ard investigated the
Adame safe trouble at Walford when
Novah was agent there. NoTak. ne
says, tried to get him to go down TO
the store and stay with him to catch

thinks Novak dangerous character.
Former Senator j. NJ. Terry OF Linn
county thinks Novak not entitled to
the consideration he asks.

o,conaelr. wonderful oratory.

Daniel O'Connel. the Irish orator,
spoke in Coyent Garden. London, many
years ago, and John Coleman, an old
English actor, pictured him as follows:
THE audience hung spellbound on the
words of the great orator. His reso-
nant and magnificent voice, favored
with its rich Hibernian accent, held
both soul and sense captive. AS for
me- my Celtic blood took fire, my heart
throbbed with passionate indignation
or melted into tears as he dwelt upon
the wrongs of my beloved country.
Never, surely, was such born orator.
Stern men cried one moment and
laughed the next. Strange to say, they
never laughed in the wrong place,
though once at least he afforded them
a unique opportunity: AS he approach
ed the end of his grafton, carried away
by his theme, he took his wig of Ia
brown jazey'), put it in his hat and
mopped his beautiful bald brow with
a great flaming crimson bandanna. The
action appeared SO natural and appro-
pirate that no one seemed to think it
absurd or even homogeneous"

DOG STEALS A WATCH.
Thought It Was Good to Eat and Sc
GREETED it Under Building.


Special to Times Republican. e.
Dubuque, Aug. 11.-Much excitement
was caused Tuesday afternoon in the
vicinity Of the lunch counter in the Illi-
nois Central yards because of the mys-
terious disappearance of a gold watch
1t was later found that dog had TAX
en- 1t.
There are many persons who are GUS
toners at the lunch counter When the
watch was not found there was a gen.
eral suspicion cast about, but there
was nothing definite. The time piece
was in the private part Of the building
and its disappearance was not account
ed for by any one. The supposed theft
was reported to the police, and an in
vestigation was begun, when the police
received word that the missing jewelry
was found and that the thief was q
dog.
The facts, as nearly as could be
learned, were that the dog, while look
ing for something to eat back of the
counter, came across the attractive
article which drew his attention Evil
IDENTIFY the canine was very hungry.
With the watch concealed in his mouth
the dog crawled under the building to
his howell The hard case was impene-
trable to the sharp teeth of the animal
and the valuable watch was cast aside,
evidently in disgust. with the bones,
the remaining proof of former square
meals.
While work was being done near the
dogs treasury, an observer saw the
glitter of the gold, and found the watch
and reported it to the owner of the res
taurant.

Human Ear a peformitx.

"WhiIe the ears Of animals" said a

human ear is crumpled. crushed and
fattened. 1t is mans intelligence that
is responsible for this deformity of his
ear. Mans brain. you see, has made
his head top heavy. An animals neck
alone furnishes enough support in
sleep, but mans neck is too weak to
sustain his brain weighed skull, which
in consequence must be laid, with the
ear underneath, upon pillow Man,
I have no doubt, had an erect, smooth,
shapely ear in the beginning, but his
head, with it's developing brain. out
grew his neck's power to support it.
Thence came the headrest or pillow

being universal, Is not deemed q de-

LABoRlNG MEN IDLE.
No Strikes in Iowa, But Unusual Mum.
Der Of Men Out of Work.


Des Moines Aug. 11.-Reports re-
ceived from the various parts Of the
state by the Iowa Labor Federation.
indicate the laboring men are idle IN
many cities. The bulletin which will
be issued by the federation tomorrow
SHOWS that while the unions are not
suffering to great extent by reason of
strikes, many men have been laid off.
At Clinton and Muscatine the sash
and door factories have laid off large
numbers of men and in the latter city,
common laboring men are also idle.
Many mechanics are also out of en-
ployment which is considered unusual
at this time Of the year.
Building trade is very slack also
thru the state, which the federation
officials say is due to the attitude of
the recently organized employers as
ISOLATION.
Strikes are reported in but few cit
les in Iowa. There is one in Sioux
City, another In keokuk and third in
Burlington.
