vice, and Diller B. Croft OF this city.
both under sentence of two years. i'm.
prisonment and $4,000 fine for pos.
tai conspiracy, yesterday surrendered
themselves to the United States mar
shal and were placed in the cellroom
OF the city hall. Samuel A. Croft,
whose counsel sought to have his re-
moval to the penitentiary deferred be-
cause of illness, was ordered brought
into court and later placed in the
cellroom with the others.
Last Hope Gone.
The case came up today in the Grim
inal court on receipt of mandate
handed down by the court OF appeals
directing the immediate execution OF
the sentence of Machen, Lorenz and
the Groffs. Attorney Maddox, for
Samuel A. Croft, produced a certificate
of two physicians saying that he was
not in condition to be moved from
his house and suggested that it the
district attorney wanted to imperil
his clients life, as we'll as his liberty,
he would better take gun and go TO
the house.
Case of Samuel.
District Attorney Beach replied that
Samuel A. Croft, his surety and his
attorney had been advised of the pos
sibility of this mandate for some time;
that Samuel Croft had visited the dis,
trict attorneys Office last Thursday
and that Croft son had communicated
with the district attorneys office to
know what clothing his father might
take with him to the penitentiary.
Under these circumstances, the dis.
trict attorney suggested, it was rather
a sudden stroke of illness.
Mr.. Beach insisted upon the imme-
diate appearance of the prisoner ana
he was sent for. Nothing has been
heard of DIR. Lorenz, who is reported
i'll at his home in Toledo, Ohio.

The international Geographical So

An interesting lecture on the Bolivian
Andes, in the course of which the
speaker had dwelt at some length up
on the varying symptoms of mountain
sickness. just had been concluded.
An opportunity to question the lee
turer offered, an English member rose
to take advantage of it, but scarcely
had begun to speak when another

Awuh brief apology for the Interrupt
ton said:
: Before the lecturer replies to the
Question that has just been asked, |
should like, with the permission of the
chair and in connection with the sub
iect of mountain sickness, to mention
some facts that WILL fancy, be rather
surprising to most of the members of
the Geographical Society and they are
that ee-fourths of the tin of the
world comes from the Malay Peninsula.
and that more than 100000 Chinese
are subjects of the British crown"
He paused a moment as though to
let these startling statements sink deep
into the consciousness of his nearer, or
perhaps to see if anyone would have
the temerity to challenge them. AS no
one did, he resumed his seat with the
triumphant air of one who has settled
for all time any vexed questions con-
corning mountain sickness.

Captain of Guard Company at
Webster City Will Seek
Election as Major
HIS CHANCES LOOK GOOD
Boone Man Not Likely to Enter the
Race and Support of His Company,
It Is Said, Will Go to Hyatt-sev-
eral Candidates For the Position
Iowa News.
Special to Times Republican.


Webster City, April 2S.-Captain N.
p Hyatt, of Company C, Fifty-sixth
regiment, 1. N. c., has at last decided
to enter the race for the position of
major of the regiment to succeed Maj
Hile whose time expires this year. The
decision was reached yesterday after
much persuasion on the part of friends
in this city and members of compan-
les in other sections of the state. He
some time but now feels that his
chances are good for the position. Cap
tain Hyatt stands high in military cir
Giles and is second senior captain in the
regiment. This fact will make his can
didacy for the office all the stronger
and will be the means Of turning sup
port for him.
For some time the matter of select
ing major at the coming state en-
campment of the Fifty-sixth regiment
in Des Moines. in June has been
uppermost in the minds of the mem
bers of the different companies. The
names of Capt Morris of Co. F. of AL
coma; Capt. Mahoney of Co. I, Of
Boone; Capt. Rankin of Mason City,
have been mentioned but these gentle
men have not the claim to the position
as does Capt Hyatt Of this city. Capt
Mahoney of Boone has not definitely
announced his candidacy and it is I'M
derstood that he will not do so on ac-
count of the candidacy of Capt. Hyatt
and it is thought quite probable that
the Boone company will stand solid
for the local captain. In fact COM
munication now under way makes
the statement almost a fact, as Capt
Mahoney has stated that he would
not enter the race if Capt. Hyatt did.
Capt. Hyatt was the highest rank
ing captain In the regiment up to a
short time ago, when Col. Morris,
who looked after the small arms, was
made captain of the Algona company.
On this account the rank of colonel
gives him precedence over all other
captains. But the impression prevails
that Capt Norris has been honored
sufficiently for the present, and should
be willing to conceda the field to
Capt. Hyatt. If such is the case the
contest will be narrowed down to
Capt. Rankin of Mason City and
Capt. Hyatt Of Webster City. Be-
tween these two men there is wide
difference in their rank as captains in
the regiment. Webster City people
will watch the progress of the contest
with interest and the members of
Company c and friends will further
Mr. Hyatt's candidacy In every way
possible.
