HUTCHINGS FOR CONGRESS-.

The Populists and Democrats held their con-
gressional conventions at Olathe, Wednesday.
After the organization of the conventions, con.
ference committees were appointed which rec
commended joint convention. In the after
noon, the two conventions met as one, and the
joint convention proceeded to nominate
candidate for congress. There were but two
candidates before the convention-Hon. N. L.
Bowman, of Garrett, ana J. F. Hutchings, of
Kansas City, Kas Hutchings was nominated
on the first ballot, by small majority. Bow
man had majority outside of Wyandotte
county, whose hftynine votes gavel he major
ity to Hutchings. Some counties were not
represented at all. Had there been a full rep
resentaton, there is no doubt that Bowman
would have had good majority.
Mr.. Hntchngs had special train from Kan
sas City, carving the delegates and over two
hundred "rooters." They made great deal
of noise and were long on promises, declaring
that Wyandotte county will give Hutchngs
majority of 5000. Mr.. Bowman went to tn.
convention just like any ordinary citizen, ha>-
ing no special train and making no noise. He
was easily the choice of the farmer delegates,
as we'll as many of the others.
The die is cast. We now await tor that
5000 majority from Wyandotte county.

The convention was dominated by the ma

but in order to keep the "boss-buster' element
in line, the ticket was divided between the two
wings OF the party.

Called on Girl. Arrested.

Will Warner visited the home of
Mrs. Belle Harwood, on Second street,
between Warren and Brown streets,
Monday night. to call upon Miss
Amanda COnklin, a young lady whom
he had known at Atlantic, Iowa. There
was a rough house raised upon his en-
trance as Mrs. HARDWOOD did not want
him around the place. He was given
a hint to leave by being dOused with
a pan of water, but he did not take it.
He grew ugly, and was shortly after
ward arrested on complaint of Mrs.
HarwOOd. who charged him with
threatening TO commit a public of

puttino in Water system.

Work has now been begun upon the
construction of the private system of
fire protection which the factories
along Third avenue are to build. Men
are engaged upon the preliminary
work and the material for the system
is here. The Moline Heating & Con-
struction company, which secured the
job. has received 10000 feet of 10-inch
and S-inch water mains. with the nee
essary accessories. This will be run
in two parallel lines, one on Third
avenue and one on the river bank. with
the cross-mains forming a rectangular
plan about a mile in length and near
ly 500 feet wide, taking in a dozen
factories that are cooperating for bet
ter fire protection than the city can
give them. The cost of the system will
be about 100000 and will accomplish
its intended purpose as no other ar
rangement could do. In case of fire
the pumps of II factories will unite in
supplying the water to the 18th plant,
giving practically unlimited pressure
and supply.

tigated the bundle and found il to be

in that city yesterday. Death resulted
from pneumonia contracted during his
journey home from Europe where he
had been visiting since May 20 of this
year. The sad shock caused by the
tragic death of his son also cOmpli-

attack too violent for his ~ years to
shake off. Bernhard SChwarting was
born at Gutenberg, Germany. Dec. IS,

Sheboygan, Wis, in 1858. where he

the cause of its appearance is easily
explained. The lumbermen of the
north impound great quantities of wat
er in large reservoirs to be used dur
ing lumber season. This water comes
in contact with the vegetation and pine
and becomes filled with organic mat
ter. This water is retained in these
large receptacles until the government
acts and forces the lumbermen to re-
lease it. Then when the water comes
down the river it is pumped into the
filter plants. 1t is found that the chem
icals used have no effect upon it and
that ii is not fully understood just how
to handle it.
