ANOTHER COMPANY BARRED.
United States Realty Company Has
Failed to Comply With Laws.

Cedar Rapids, June 80. - Informa-
ton has reached County Attorney Kill
pack form State Auditor B. F. Carroll,
that the United States Realty COM
pany, claiming to have headquarters
at Minneapolis, has, not complied with
the requirements of the Iowa statutes
with respect TO taking out license and
is therefore not qualified to do bust
ness in this state. The company has
been operating in Council Bluffs
through its agent, and proceedings may
be started against it similar to the
Equitable Home association case.
Some months ago the Minneapolis
concern opened an Office in the Met
calf block and began selling its shares
through solicitors. 1t has not been
as active as the Equitable Home asso-
citation and the fact that it was doing
business here did not come to the no..
tice of the county attorney until re-.

Home Burned at West Union.

West Union, June 3O.-A fire broke
out in the residence of Dan O'Hal-
leran, in the north part of West I'm
ion, yesterday, and although the fire
department responded promptly and
rendered efficient service, the house
was almost completely destroyed, to-
gether with a large portion of the
contents. The house was occupied
only by Mrs. OHalleran and her little
daughter, who is very i'll with scarlet
fever, and the house was under strict
quarantine. Although the little pa
tent is in critical stage of the dis
ease, kind neighbors volunteered to
convey her to a neighboring house,
which CHANGED to be unoccupied. A
great many of the firemen were neces-
sarily exposed to the contagion in
their efforts to subdue the fire and
rescue the inmates. Mr.. O'Halleran
was quarantined away from his home
at the time of the fire. 1t is believed
the fire originated from the explosion
of a lamp in the basement Of the
dwelling.

APPLE CROP GOOD.
Fruits as Well as Grain Are Doing
Well in Iowa.

Des Moines, June 80. - Sir Isaac
Newton would have little occasion to
make observations Of the power OF
gravitation in Iowa orchards at this
premature season, according to Direct
or j. R. Sage of the Iowa crop serv.
ice bureau and because of the lack of
untimely dropping of fruit a staple
crop of apples is expected. The extra
good size yield Of strawberries and
cherries is expected to find parallel
in the yield of apples and other orch
ard fruit.
In the meantime, corn, that king of
grains in the state, is said TO be max
ing satisfactory progress, though Gull
uvatlon was somewhat hindered dur
ing the past week because of excessive
rains in the north central portion of
the state. This caught Charles City
where nearly four inches of rain fell
in twenty-four hours.

STILL IN MIDDLE
DEMOCRATIC SITUATION IN IOWA
is FAR FROM BEING A
PEACEFUL ONE.

Des Moines, June Sos. II.
cSteye"O Morrissey for chairman an
and Alex Miller for secretary, consul
tute the slate of the anti-Hearst mem,
bers of the democratic state central
committee. If they have their way
these gentlemen will handle Iowa
share of the national campaign Iund
that is to be expended by the demo-
Gratis next fall. For that matter, now
ever, the men who will handle these
funds will be numerous if each OF tne
aspirants has his way. A. w. Max
well, the Hearst leader, VINO claims
to be chairman of the committee, IS
particularly strenuous in insisting
upon his right in this direction and
will make such a determined hight at
the Iowa City convention next month
that it is likely to split the party to
twain. Failing to obtain the desired
recognition there, he will resort to the
courts, if necessary before he Will
waive his alleged prerogatives.
Morrissey For Harmony.
Under the circumstances it is not
cheerful outlook that confronts the
democrats. Mr. Morrissey is not par
ticularly ambitious himself and would
like to see harmony if it could be
brought about by waving his desire
to become chairman, according to
Maxwell that honor and then recelv-

ment, the conservative members OF
the party inside the organization and
outside, have been casting about for a
compromise slate They declare that
they have found it in Morrissey and
Miller.
Heretofore they have had but six
votes as against six by the Hearst
forces, if National Committeeman
Charles A. Walsh is counted as a
member Of the committee in accord
ance with the expressed wish Of the
recent state convention, and admit
the necessity of assistance from the
Hearst forces. 1t now transpires
that they are relying upon the sup
port of J. G. Likes of this city, mem
Der Of the committee from the sew
enth district. Mr.. Likes is a close
friend of Morrissey and is understood
to be satisfied with the latter's assur-
ances.
The Two Mllers.
There are two Millers in the state
committee, c.. W. Miller of Waverly
and Alex Miller, editor of the Wash
ington Democrat The latter has
never taken such an aggressive part
in the anti-Hearst contests heretofore
as to be seriously Objectionable to the
Hearst forces and Mr. Morrissey has
always been a good fellow" to the
opposition. Much is therefore hoped
for from the compromise slate. But
it is conceded that it cannot be agreed
upon without struggle and that Max
well and his friends will put up a
fight that may disrupt the party if it
is attempted to force the slate upon
them without mutual concessions all
around The next two weeks or a
month will therefore witness many
secret conferences, numerous ex-
changes of letters and other efforts
on the part Of the leading democrats
and particularly of the non-combat-
tants to get together.
