Palma Returned to Office and Moder-

The political agitation which began
six months ago with the national
convention OF the Liberal party and
which has dwinded since the with
drawal of Gen. Jose Miguel Gomez
the presidential candidate named by
that convention, ended in quiet
election. The vote was very light
this being due to the lack of interest
in the wholly one-sided election.
I The withdrawal of the Liberals from
all nominations left a clear field for
the Moderates, and every Moderate
nominee was elected from President
Palma to the provincial councillors.

THAT RELAY RACE.
Something About One of the State
Fair Attractions.


Special to Times Re publican.
Des Moines, June 1.-THE relay race
that is to one of the attraction this
year at the fair was a common form
of amusement In the days OF some
twenty years ago. 1t was formerly the
custom to mount the horse on the
track, ride one mile and then dis
mount and mount another horse on the
track. The Montana state fair two
years ago started different plan
which takes considerably more Skill.
Stalls or chutes are built on the pole
side OF the track just beyond the wire.
The start is made each day on the
same horse and as the horse comes
around the second time 1t makes for
one particular chute into which it has
been trained to run. 1t is quite trick
to get the horse to run into the chute
for by so doing time Is saved The
skill comes in making the change from
one horse to another. The four horses
are taken in the same order each time
and their. stalls are padded and each
horse has separate color to assist 1T
in finding it's stall. The last horse
passes under wire and does not go
into chute. Men assist the women
only in holding the horse until the
woman Is safely mounted, but she
mounts otherwise unassisted.

whose renchant for deposits" beats
any bank that was ever heard of. has
silently departed from the city, leav-
ing a list of victims that would fill
the larger part of a newspaper col
umrl. She had new graft and she
worked it to a finish.
She began operations by advertising
that she would employ a number of
ladies at s1.50 per day, at fancy work.
which announcement naturally at
tracted large number of callers to
her apartments on Fifth street. Her
story to those seeking employment"
varied according to the circumstances,
but the tenor of it was always to the

she would teach them in one lesson
promising to pay them at so much per
day, or by piece work." stating that
they could probably make more under
the latter PLAN than on per diem
But there was one little item of bus
mess which always precedes the clos
ing of the employment contract. The
party Of the second party was obliged
to deposit with the party of the first
part the sum of one dollar, good and
lawful money of the United States.
Just how many Cedar Rapids ladies
separate themselves from the money
and made deposits" with the CRATER
is not known. Some of them could i'll
afford to bite on any scheme, but they
didn't think that woman could work
as strong a graft as that. Now they
know differently.
One day the lady said that she
would have to be at Marion the next
day, where she expected to form a
large class, advising her Students
and employees not to call until the day
after next. Whether the lady is still
in Marion no one in Cedar Rapids
seems to know, butt is suspected that
she is not. 1t is also feared that she
will not return to Cedar Rapids.

ably get materially reduced prices if
they would look up the list Of the
lady's students, a few of whom have
since learned that it takes weeks and
