as republicans. And unquestonably
great many did this, tho of course
| many republicans failed to register for

The announcement that the Mime
apolis G. st. Louis railroad has issued
bonds to the amount of about $3,00O,-
600 which will be used to pay for the
bonds outstanding against the Des
Moines and Fort Dodge road indicates
that the Minneapolis is in no mood to
trifle with anybody who plans to OBJ
struct the scheme to make the change
in ownership next January. These are
the bonds which have always had 2
voting power at the annual meetings Of
the stockholders of the Fort Dodge
road, as has often been published.
They were for years held by persons
connected with the Rock Island but it
is understood they have been sold.
There is no thought that they will
form the basis OF any sensational suit
like that scheduled In New York few
weeks ago by an adventurer.
1t is not going too far to say that
| the state officials and the superinten-
| dent of the Mt. Pleasant hospital are
| not rejoicing over the apprehension
| of DR. Henry r. Green in Quincy, Ill.
Green has caused the superintendent
more trouble than anybody else for q
long time. He is unquestionably in
sane, but he is finely educated and
| chroyU1 and "a nn1ictaH fho c1y,,,
pathies of number of those who knew
him when he was In the state univer-
sity. After Judge Smythe refused to
release him on habeas corpus it was
promised him that If he would be good
'he would be released later. He did
not wait but escaped at once. He
/ was found working as a mechanic in
a machine shop in Quincy. If the au-
thorities over there do not object it is
probable he will be left there.

Major j. A. Olmsted, retired, who
represents the United States army in
inspecting the Iowa national guard
companies, has learned that the report
he made to the war board on the Iowa
encampments will not be published In
| full this year. In the past these and
similar reports have been printed in
4 full. This year the war board took
| portions of his report on the winter in
| spections and sent them back to the
| Iowa department for such use as the
djltant general might direct. This
will be followed in the matter of the
| general report. Iowa was the third
state to have an army officer detailed
for this work, two other states getting
| in a little ahead of Iowa. There are
| five brigadier generals detailed on this
work, and twenty states have army Of
| ficers thus detailed.
The campaign just closed is the first
| one which Governor Cummins has
gone thru without having his voice
give out. He was more careful than
| usual. He had to give up only one
meeting, and there he spoke briefly.
| He had had his throat poisoned by the
| fireworks gas and could not speak. On
the last night, the meeting in Musca-
| tine his voice was in the finest condi-
ton he had ever known. The governor
| never spoke to such splendid crowds as
| this year. He had but one meeting
where there was room for more in the
hall where he spoke. In every other
place there were persons turned away.
In Muscatine a thousand more would
have entered the hall If they had been
able to squeeze in to hear the governor,
There certainly has been no evidence
of apathy where the governor has
been this year. Governor Cummins
will remain here for time, then speak
at the dedication Of the Sioux county
court house at Orange City on the 14tll,
| then speak in Dubuque at the Mississ-
| ippi River improvement Association
the next day and then speak before the
Iowa State Travelling Mems Associa-
| ton i'm Des Moines. He will go to
Washington about Nov. Is to present
the case of Shiloh monument inscrip-
| tons to the secretary Of war.
A remarkable appeal for votes was
found by Governor Cummins on his
table when he returned from his speak,
ing trip 1t was written with typewrit-
err on small sheet of paper on which
was printed the picture Of a plain
workingman and ST. Louis address.
1t was as follows:

dependent candidate for president of
