CUMMINS IS BITTER IS ASKED TO- RESIGN
City Solicitor is no Longer a Resi-
dent of Oskaloosa.

The city council had a special ses-
sion Tuesday afternoon at three o.
clock for the purpose of caring for a
number of important matters that
needed immediate attention. Coun-
Gilman A. ]. Augustine was chosen TO
officiate as mayor in the absence OF
His Honor Mayor ]. c. Williams.
The stated object of the meeting
was to settle a grade problem, but
the sensation of the hour was the, Of
fetal request for the city solicitor to
tender his resignation.
Councilman Kenworthy, of the
Second ward, offered the following
resolution in the council:
Resolved, Inasmuch as the city so
licitor, L. c. Bolton, has removed from
from this city and IS now a resident
and householder of Garfield township,
and no longer a resident of Oskaloosa,
that he be requested to tender his
resignation as city solicitor at the
next regular meeting
The resolution carried, Hethering-
ton voting nay.
Change of Grade.
The grade problem is located on
North B street between d and F ave-
nues. The grade has been authorized
raised eighteen inches at point mid
way between the avenues and run
ming out to nothing on the avenues.
The street railway company signified
their willingness to make the change
in their tracks necessitated by the
order. The change was brought about
by the placing of the curbing along
the street.
eStreet Question.
There is question as to the width
of Eleventh street that runs on the
west Of the William Burnside place,
southeast of the city. A strip Of the
street is claimed by Mr.. Burnside.
The matter will be investigated and
reported to a later meeting of the
council.
A Still Alarm.
The electric crossing alarm bell az
the intersection of South Seventh
street by the Rock Island tracks was
reported out of order, and then the
fact was developed that it had been
out of keller for the past two months.
Clerk Crissy being notified Of the con-
dition of the alarm, has informed the
Rock Island company and received
from them the promise that the mat
ter will be attended to Immediately
and the necessary repairs made.
More Grades.
The grade of the sidewalk on North
G street between c and D avenues is
desired raised and the council before
acting in the matter ordered the
street committee to make investiga-
tion Of the matter and report at the
next regular meeting.
A number of other unimportant
matters of which no record is made
came up. No action taken.
Council adjourned.

Calls Opponents of "Iowa Idea"
Unmitigated Liars.

Des Moines, July 20.-Accompanied
by burst of applause and cheers, GOV
ernor Cummins, at the meeting OF the
Polk County Republican club last
night, delivered his opening speech
of the campaign, disclaiming that he
was opening the campaign in Iowa,
for he declared the campaign had
been opened when Theodore Roose-
welt was nominated.
Governor Cummins addressed all
audience of between 500 and 600, OF
whom perhaps a third were delegates
to the republican state convention.
Uses Bitter Language.
When the governor came to that
point in his address where he at
tempted to classify those who accuse
the "Iowa idea" of advocating free
trade with Canada or the abolition of
tariff on trust products, he hesitated
a moment Say it," Don't be
afraid" came from the audience.
Tnen the governor uttered the words
which were greeted with wild ap-
gated liar. He said he had not in
tended to use that word, but had
meant to say that such man, if in
telligent, was malignant; if ignorant,
a fool.
The exact language of this part of
his speech is as follows
81 must be permitted to say that
the man, whether he be a republican
or democrat, whether of high or low
degree, whether he writes it in a
newspaper or speaks it to his fellow
men, who says that the idea is a prop
osition to abolish all protective duties
upon the products of the so-called
trusts, who says that it is a PROPOSE
ton for free trade with Canada, or
with any other country on earth, who
says that it is democratic, or found
in the democratic platform, is an un.
mitigated liar"

BIGFREIGHT WRECK
At Oakwoods Saturday Night
Seven Cars in the Ditch.

Saturday night freight train No. 65,
going west, was wrecked at 0akwoods,
seven cars going in the ditch, and two
cars were demolished. The train was
going through oakwoods at a good

VS.. Burton and Stafford were called,
Stafford being placed first on docket.
There were two motions introduced by
the defense. The first was to transfer
the cases back to Palestine, as it was
urged by SO doing the defendants

ton was to quash the indictments. The
