who have come to the city during the
past few days have been talking along
that line. They were lead to q dis

A letter OF inquiry has beer receiv-
ed by q state house employe asking
as to the whereabouts Of Joseph w.
Blythe. attorney general fer the Burl-
ington railroad. The letter goes on to
state that the writer has heard Moth
ing from Mr.. Blythe thru the newsra-
pers and asks II II is possible that Jim
Hill has silenced him. From a state
house official close to the interests
of Mr.. Blythe 1t was learned some
days previous that Mr.. Blythe IL In
Chicago and IT was intimated that his
business as attorney for the Burlirg-
ton would keep him there pretty cloge-
ly from this time on and that Burlirg-
ton would see little of him. This
statement was made when the sugges-
stion was casually ventured that pos-
sibly Blythe was still desirous OF be-
ing the senator from this state. Blythe
eliminated from politics in this state
Is something that people will be slow
to believe and the suggestion brings
the prediction that he will be back to
Iowa as soon as there Is any thing
stirring.
Governor Cummins has offered re-
ward Of $500 for the capture Of u. Il.
Snyder, the defaulting cashier Of the
Bank OF Olin. He was indicted at the
March term Of the court OF Jones cotln-
ty for receiving deposits when the
bank was insolvent and for embezzle-
ment. The amount short was about
$3.50 besides considerable amount
Of school funds entrusted to his cure.
A report that there was a move
ment on foot to make Hon. George D.
Perkins of Sioux City. the next COVER
nor Of Iowa which has been talked
a little about the hotel corridors and
other political centers In this city
seems to have been brought to this
city by Al. Bemner Of Cedar Falls,
the special political agent for the Chi
cago, Milwaukee and st. Paul. Mr..
Bemner was in the city a few days ago
and three or four people have been
found to whom he made the statement
the exact plans and nature of the
movement yet he was confident in his
own mind that Perkins would be the
next governor. 1t might be stated that
Mr.. Bemner Is a very close friend OF
the Perkins family in Sioux City and
is in fact almost one Of the family.
What Mr.. Bemner stated seems to
have been that Mr.. Perkins was pre-
pared to make concessions that would
be acceptible to the Cummins people
and that his geographical position in
the state was good and that he already
had the railroad people with him.
II the statements Of s. x. Way state
committeeman from the Tenth dis
trict, count for anything 1t would seem
that Mr.. Perkins couldn't make con-
cessions enough unless he Is made
over body and soul into a Cumrhfns
supporter and takes conspicuous
stand on the matter of railroad assess
ments, rate question, primary election
law, anti-pass. the tariff question and
all other state issues. Other Cumnains
men have borne out the same idea as
Mr.. Way that 1t is not concessions
and compromise that the governor and
his sympathizers want. but victory for
their ideas These facts and the un-
disputed fact that the politicians OF
the Eleventh district, in which Mr..
Perkins resides, are making ready to
get rid of Perkins and oppose him IN
his own district makes the Bernner
story sound funny and those really
capable Of speaking on political mat
ters state that there can be absolutely
nothing to the story.
