POLITICAL MIX UP
Two Republican Central Committees
Fighting for Control in Winnebago
county-New Rules Have Been Vio-
lated.

Forest City, Jan. 13.-There will be
two republican county central commits
tees I'm Winnebago county after next
Tuesday IL present plans are carried
to fulfillment. Fractional differences,
long existing, have eliminated In the
organization of two rival central COM
mittces.
The above condition OF affairs Is the
result of an attempt to adopt new
and government of the republican
county central committe and holding
Of county primaries and conventions.
These rules We're prepared by a COM
mittee appointed at county cohven-
ton held March /. 1904, which select
ed delegates to the state convention.
The convention acted under resolu-
ton of long standing, adopted in 1892,
which delegated to any county con-
Nention held to select state delegates
the right and authority to change the
rules governing the county central
committee and the holding of primar-
les and conventions. The special COM
mittee appointed at the convention of
March, 1904, was to meet in concur
renee with the county central commit
tee and agree on new rules. The spec
ial committee met in this city on De-
cember 80. but only four members of
the county central committee were
present The new rules were declared
adopted.
Under the new rules the county cen-
trail committee was to meet the third
Tuesday In January. But Wednesday
eight of the members of the central
committee, in response to call from
Chairman Jensen, met in this city and
proceeded to organize under the old
rules as in past years. Jensen was re-
elected chairman together with the
former officers. Five of the county
Jensen to call the committee together
under the old rules, and refused to
take part in the meeting. These five
members propose to meet on next
Tuesday and organize as provided by
the new rules. This will give the coun-
ty two central committees. Just where
the contest will end it is difficult to
say.
State Treasurer Gilbertson was
chairman of the special committee
which drafted the new rule. These
rules We're patterned after the rules
now in force in Polk and Marshal!
counties. They were unanimously a
dopted by the special committee at it's
meeting on December 80.

In the days when Mark Twain was
an editor out west he was not so we'll
off as of late years. One morning the

an unusual occurrence. The boy who
went thru the mail, called the future
humorist's attention to it.
"And," added the boy, "he has writ
ten on the back that he wants settle
ment at once"
"You should know what to do with

Homestead and wrecked the Rocky
Mountain limited a little after mid
night The accident injured five train
men and passenger and did $4,000

men have been summoned to the scene,
and the Rock Island officials are in.
vestigating the report of attempted rob-
berry.
The train, consisting of three coaches,
two sleepers, express and baggage cara,
went into a 40-foot ditch mile west
of Homestead. ~
Engineer Hotchkiss was carried down
and was rescued from the debris with

Prepare for Shiloh Hearing.

Capt. John Hayes, of Red Oak, and
James w. Carson, of Woodburn, both
members Of the Iowa Shiloh commits
sion, are busy preparing for the appeal
which was granted some time ago by
Secretary Taft in conference with Gov.
Cummins. 1t will be remembered that
the controversy relates to the inscrip-
lions on the monuments which are to
be erected on the fateful field. In the
inscriptions the battlefield commission
proposed to leave out all mention Of
the Fifteenth and Sixteenth Iowa reg
iments which fought on that day, but
no sooner was the decision announced
than Iowa veterans raised hue and
cry with the result that after much
litigation, Secretary of War Taft has
granted hearing which is scheduled
for some date before the fifteenth of
April. 1t is regarded as likely that the
Iowans will at last receive justice.

Two Want Indeeshin.

Two candidates for the vacancy
caused by the death of Judge Wake
field at Sioux City complicate the mat
ter of the appointment by Gov. Cum
Minis. James l.. Kennedy and David
Mould are the candidates. A commit
tee Of the Woodbury. county bar repre-
senting the interests of the former
called on the governor and presented
Mr.. Kennedy's claims. The supporters
of the other candidate have asked to
be heard and Gov. Cummins will not
make decision, of course, until both
sides have presented their claims in
full. A. F. Call, Senator ]. A. Jackson.
Mr.. Jepson and E. M. Corbett constt-
tuted the Sioux City lawyers who
called on the governor to present Mr..
Kennedy's case. Republican State Cen
trail Committeeman George G. Scott,
his partner, Mr.. Milchrist, and ether
very prominent Sioux City lawyers are
backing Mr. Mould. The Kennedy
people say that there are about 100
members of the bar in Sioux City and
other parts of the county entitled to
be represented IN the matter Il the
recommendation of the bar shall be
given consideration. OF these they say
that 60 have signed Mr.. Kennedy's
petition. On the other hand, they con-
cede not to exceed 40 to Mr.. Mould.
Moreover, they declare that most of the
democratic members of the bar are
against Mr.. Kennedy, for the reason
that he has been very active as a re.
publican worker during his residence
in Sioux City and politically he is dis
| tasteful in the extreme to all demo
Gratis They do not belittle the ability
or dignity of Mr.. Mould, but they say
that Mr.. Kennedy is younger man
that he is a very fine lawyer, that he
has large business, which is an indi-
cation of his capability as a lawyer
and that he stands very high in the
profession.

Especial Correspondence


Des Moines, Ia, March 20.-Mystery
which at first shrouded the appointment
of George L. Dobson to the position Of
consul at Nottingham, England, and
which was cleared by the denial of the
selection by the PRESIDENT is again as
impenetrable as ever, and this time it
is positively announced that, using the
official words: George L. Dobson,
appointed to take the place of Frank w.
Mahin, resigned" is correct, despite the
many rumors and contradictions which
are constantly coming forward. The
fact that both of the participants in the
mystery are Iowans, makes the case OF
great interest to people of the state.
Mahin's friends, who have been probing
the deposition of their man, declare that
the president was given to believe that
the appointment Of Dobson to Mahin's
place would be "all right" with the Iowa
delegation, and that certain members
have turned traitor. Mahin, it is be-
lieved, did not resign voluntarily, and it
is known that Dobson had long been
seeking place in the consular service.
The Iowa delegation in Washington is
in an uproar, the friends of Mahin de-
claring that in appointing Dobson an In
justice has been done, while the expon-
ents Of the latter say h. deserved the
place.

Another rowan ousted.

With the selection of George Dobson
for the consularship at Nottingham,
England, comes the announcement that
another Iowan, Frederick H. Hossfield,
has been ousted from his position as
consul at Trieste, Austria. and another
appointee selected by the president to
take his place. BY this latest IN
nouncement the trials and tribulations
Of the Iowa delegation at Washington
have been increased, and with the en-
deavor to find place for Mr.. Mahin
when he returns from England, the
Hawkeye delegation is keeping fairly
busy. The ministry once offered to
John N. Irwin, an Iowan, it is said,
may possibly find an occupant in
Frank w. Mahin. The case of Mr..
Hossfield is no more understood than
was that of the Nottingham's consul.
Hossfield was close friend of ex-
Gov. Larrabee and was connected with
that administration for several years.
His consularship had lasted ten years.

For "a hours heavy rains have been
falling over all the country drained by
the Monongahela and her tributaries,
and reports received Tuesday showed
that all the streams were rising rap
idly. 1t was also raining heavily up
the Allegheny valley.
With the passing of the crest Of
the flood it was hoped the water
would quickly subside, and normal
conditions soon again prevail. The
residents of the low-lying districts,
however, were disappointed, and Tues

VIII Use Iowa idea.

It is believed that Secretary Wilson,
of the department of agriculture, is
seriously considering the advisability
Of adopting the Iowa idea of Prof.
Holden in relation to the seed crop
specials, particularly in the cotton belt
of the south. The reason for this
belief is set forward by the presence OF
Or. Weber. of the United States de-
partment of agriculture, on the seed
corn special with Prof. Holden and
his colleagues. Another minor govern
ment official is accompanying the trip
and his presence strengthens the be-
lief. BY observing the advantages and
failings of Prof. Holden's project, it is
thought that the government may be
