recently convicted of embeZzlement
and VINO was sentenced TO IL years
in prison at Anamosa, at one time
prosecuted a case against Muscatine
county and city in which nearly $500.

Journal. Hon. John Mahin. of Musca-

Der of the Davenport law firm of Grant
& Smith. which about 80 years ago
was engaged in prosecuting the IA
nous railroad bond cases. 1t may moi
be generally known to the present
generation that along in the sos many
counties and cities in Iowa issued
bonds to secure the building of rail
loads. Muscatine county issued $780,
0G0 and Muscatine city 100000 of
such bonds in 1854 to the Mississippi
&c Missouri railroad company. with the
distinct promise that this company
would build a railroad north from
Muscatine TO Cedar Rapids and anoth-
er west TO Oskaloosa.
These roads were never built by
the company. About the same time
Louisa county issued 100000 in bonds
to the Airline Railroad company,
which proposed to cross the Missis-
sippi at Burris City Ga few miles above
New Boston, and run westward
through Louisa county. This road
was never built, though some grading
was done on the proposed line. Alto
gether about s11,00O.000 were issued
in bonds for railroad purposes by coun-
ties and cities in eastern Iowa.
1t was supposed in those days that
n bond was in the nature of a contract
between two parties, and that a failure
to comply with the conditions by the
party of the second part would relieve
ne party of the first part from any OBJ
legation The nisi prius courts of this
state held these bonds to be invalid
and issued injunctions against the col
lection of taxes to pay them. The SUI

LABOR BODIES TO BE ONE
BY FIRST OF THE NEW YEAR
Move For Constellation Meets With
Favor Among Members OF
Organizations.

President Herges of the Tri-City La
Dor congress confidently believes that
the consolidation of the central labor
organizations of Rock Island and Dav-
export will have been accomplished by
the first of the year AS stated in The
Argus of some evenings ago. the Tri-
City Building Trades council is now
taking referendum vote on the ques-
ton, and it is said the move will carry
by a large majority. Then there is
the Davenport Trades assembly to
be heard from. Committees of both
the Building Trades council and the
Trades assembly have met with tho
officers of the labor congress, and
respective organizations. with rec
concentration that there be early &C.
ton. Until n few years ago all the
unions of the tri-cities We're central
lied through delegates i'll the TRICKY
Labor congress. But there has been
Il falling away. a desire To form in
dependent bodies. and the result has
been that the influence that the UNI
ion men welded through the congress
has been lost in a large measure. The
consolidation idea has for its object
the regainng of that position and To
bringing the unions closer together in
their labors in behalf of common
cause. The congress at its regular
monthly meeting this week placed the
firm of. ID. Kuppenheimer & Co. Chi
cago clothing manufacturers, on TIM
unfair list, on advices from the Chi
cago Federation of Labor. Thomas
O'Hara and William Kurth were OBJ
ligated as delegates from the Retail
Clerks union No. 31l. The secretary
of the congress was instructed to
write to the secretary of the Manu-
facturers' association and ask how
many members of that organization
belong to- the militia of their state.
This information is desired owing 10
the criticism of labor by the associa-
ton for its "unfriendly" attitude to-
wards the militia.

Considerable interest is manifested in
Gov. Yates. What will he do when he

has made no statement. One rumor is
that he is to be insurance commission
err: another that he is to be attorney
for the department and still another
that he is to be president of an insur-
ance company. The latest story circu-
lated this week was to the effect that
he and Attorney General Hamlin are
to practice law as partners. Gen. Ham

He said that there is absolutely no
truth in the report. Il am going TO

A rousing meeting was held last
evening in Mission Turn Verein Hall,
Eighteenth street, near Valencia, un
der the direction of the Republican
State Central Committee. This was the
first big district meeting planned by
the Republicans. Its purpose was TO
further the whole Republican ticket,
and especially TO promote the candida
cy of z. A. Hayes, nominee for Con-
gresham in the Fifth District; Rich
ard J. WEIGH, candidate for the Senate
in the Nineteenth District, and Ed
ward F. Treadwell, candidate for the
Assembly in the Thirty-fifth Assembly
District.
The meeting was called to order by
John DAILY, who introduced r. L. Ha-
thorn as chairman. Mr.. Hathorn, af-
ter stating the purpose of the meet
ing, briefly reviewed the campaign and
said he had been unable to find any
one that refused to concede victory for
the Republican tickets-national, State
and municipal.
Eduard F. Treadwell was the first
of the ca ndidates to be presented to
the audience by the chairman. Mr..
Treadweil, who is a prominent young
lawyer, comprehensively analysed the

issues Of the campaign and painted an
amusing picture of Democratic despair.
His speech was warmly applauded.
Senator WEIGH was received in
manner that demonstrated his popular
ity in his district. He did not enter
into a discussion Of the principles in
volved in the campaign, but won ap-
proval by declaring that when he again
goes to Sacramento he will give as
good an account of himself as condi-
lions will permit and that he will ever
keep in mind the interests of his con-
stituents. Mr.. Welch's record in the
Senate is well known and he needs no
better Endorsement. Songs by the Stan
ford University Republican Quartet
followed Mr.. Welch'si address, after
which E. A. Hayes was introduced.
Cheers greeted Mr.. Hayes, for which
he expressed his pleasure, saying, how
ever that he appreciated the fact that
the cheers were not for him as citi-
zen, but as the Republican nominee for
Congress in the Fifth District, and be-
cause, for the time, he represented the
great principles of the Republican
party.
Mr.. Hayes speech was full of inter
esting facts upon which he asked his
audience to reflect. Under the forty
