The first written Communication to
the heads Of departments by Comrade
William Mckinley was that ex-Union
soldiers and sailors in the government
service should be we'll treated, that
the veterans who had been kicked out
by the democrats should be reinstated
as fast as possible, and that the pen
sion laws should be administered IN
the way intended by the republican
congresses which enacted them. From
that day nothing but good has come
to the veterans.
Every old soldier and sailor should
realize that he can trust Theodore
Roosevelt. He has already proven him
self their loyal and steadfast friend.
President Roosevelt loves the men
who went to the front and fought for
and saved the union. He knows the
significance of every button worn by
veterans and bows in admiration and
true reverence to every one of them"
"1f l should give campaign advice
to my old comrades In a sentence, /"
concluded Col Michael. II would tell
them to vote as they shot, against the
enemy"

'''I0M'S" BARI
DENNlsoN SPENDS MONEY TO DE.
FEAT LOGAN COUNTY
PROSECUTOR.


Des Moines, Oct. 80. - Tom Den
nison Of Omaha. who is charged with
having assisted Frank Shercliffe In
the famous diamond robbery in Logan
county and is now lighting extraditioni
proceedings in the Nebraska supreme
court, has it is claimed, entered poll
tics in Iowa. Republican leaders fear
that Logan county will be lost to them
in part at least, as the result Of Dem
nison's efforts to prevent the re-elec-i
ton Of L. w. Fallon. county attorney.
Dennison is alleged to have expended
a small fortune in the Logan county
campaign. The county is always close
and democrats manage to elect their
man every once in while. Under the
circumstances Dennison may be able
to secure his revenge. L. E. Fay writes
that Dennison is spending large sums
of money and has employed shrewd
politicians to compass Fallon's defeat.

ton show Is to be given at Mason

ford the opportunities for making the
highest scores, inasmuch as this years

E. D. WINTER, WHOSE FIRM AS.
SIGNED YESTERDAY, TAKES
HIS LIFE.
WAS PROMINENT IOWAN
Mr.. Winter Was Formerly Member
OF the Burlington City council-Frm
An Old one-ln Business More Than
Fifty Years.

Burlington, Oct. 2S.-(special. BE
cause of the assignment of
his firm after long and
honorable business career, E. D.
Winter, of the firm Of e. D. Win
ter and Co., last night committed sui.
eide at his Office by taking gas. MIR.
Winters act is believed to have been
the result Of temporary insanity as the
embarrassment Of his firm does not
carry with it dishonor and the indica-
lions are that business can be re-
sumed in a short time.
A Prominent Citizen.
Mr.. Winter has long been a prom
inent citizen Of Burlington. He was
at one time member of the city coun-
Gil and has for fifty years been in the
sash and door business In this city,
his partner during the past few years
being his son, Elbridge Winter. His
sudden and tragic death Is regretted
by everyone who knew him and his
relatives have the sincere sympathy
Of the whole community.
1t is rather peculiar position in
which the firm Of e. D. Winter & Co.,
find themselves. With their assets
vastly in excess Of their liabilities,
they have been forced into voluntary
bankruptcy by their creditors. How
ever, 1t is expected that within the
very near future, they will be in bet
ter shape than before.
Cause of Assignment.
The we'll known sash, door and blinds
manufacturing company, In order to
pay for some material purchased from
the Huttig Manufacturing company, Of
Muscatine, gave mortgage on their
plant for the sum of $13,390. When
this mortgage, which was given sew.
eral months ago, was put on record
recently, the other creditors immedi.
ately demanded a settlement of their
accounts. q. D. Winter, the manager
of the Arm, found that he could not
secure money to discharge his liabili-
ties Immediately, and accordingly
placed the firm in the hands of the
bankruptcy court.
The firm will be running again very
shortly, for the liabilities are only
about $4,000, while the assets consist
Of real estate valued at $4,000, stock
$4,000, machinery $4,000, and book &C.
counts $4,000. The liabilities Of the
company can thus be easily met and
1t is expected that but a short time
will intervene before everything is
plain sailing again.
