AfEom Stau NOrTeHpOnuenl.)
DIES MONIES Ia, oct. 2,-(special.)-
Senator j. J. Crossley OF winterset is in
the city today and was closeted for over
an hour with Governor Cummins in con-
sultatlon on the proposed primary cleo
ton law. Senator Crossley was the author
Of a statewide primary election law both
at the last session Of the Legislature and
at the session before the last. He stated
today that he was assured that public sem
timent had considerably changed on the
question, and that he had assurance him
self from many members OF the legislature
that they would this year favor the bill.
Il has been apparent with politicians for
some time that the primary election law
would be perhaps the most conspicuous
matter of legislation before the legisla-
ture when It comes together next January.
During the summer the governor has de-
livered addresses in nearly every county
in the state. and they have all been in
favor OF the passage OF primary election
law When seen today Senator Crossley
said:
< II expect to present a primary election
bill at the next session of the legislature
and II will be along the same lines as
the bill presented at the last session, with
the statewide provisions, and delegates to
merely canvass the vote OF the primary.
I have been assured that a number OF
the members of both branches of the
Legislature have changed their position and
are now friendly TO the passage OF such
law The governor has given his as
surance that he will give his support to
such a measure, and we are more hopeful
than ever before that the measure will
become a law"
&c CorOner's Jury Says Murder.
After. celebrating for several days the
coroner's jury in the case of George r.
0riswold, the prominent insurance man
who disappeared from this city and whose
body was taken later from the Des Moines
river here, has returned verdict Of muir
der. This is In direct opposition to the
decision of the police department, which
declares that the man committed suicide.
II is likely that the governor will offer
q reward for the apprehension OF the
murderer.

"In Death They Were Not Divided"
The death OF Jessie Burdette Patrick, fol-
lowing so closely upon that of her younger
sister, Marjorie brings tears to the eyes of
a large circle of sympathizlng friends.
These two sisters, who only lived to the
ages OF 10 and 10, respectively, had ex-
perienced more brightness and pleasure in
their short span of life than falls to the
lot of many who have passed beyond the
three score and ten. Marjorie was a child
of light and sunshine always Joyous and
bright, the mere sight of her happy face
making glad the hearts of her friends: a
child of loving heart and ready sympathy
The mind of the elder sister. Jessie, all
ready gave promise of brilliancy and cul-
tivation far beyond her years. Her ability
in conversation. her love and appreciation
of the best in literature were truly remark
able in one so young The quiet yet keen
sense of humor added to her gentle vivacity
of manner lent a sweet charm peculiarly
her own. Her enthusiastic devotion to her
friends was evidence of the kindly heart
that could beat in generous sympathy for
those in sorrow. To the lonely sister-the
only child left in the homeland to the
mother whose devoted care and unselhsh
love made these young lives so bright and
joyous our hearts go out In tender SYM
pathy. AS was said of the brother and sis
ter in "The MN on the Floss, 'in their
deaths they we're not divided"-only for a
few days time. IDA NJ. THOMAS,

BRYAN NOT NOW A CANDIDATE.
Nebraskan Makes Announcement at
jefferson Club Banquet.

Chicago, Sept. 13.-"I want to make
my position perfectly clear. | want to
say to you that not only am ! not an
%nouncing a candidacy, but | am not
permitting a candidacy"
In these words William Jennings
Bryan administered a check to the en-
thusiasm which, at the Jefferson club
banquet, given last night in Mr.. Bry-
ans honor, greeted the speeches ad.
~vocating his nomination for the third
time for president.
There had been warm words OF
praise for Mr.. Bryan, particularly from
former Congressman Ollie M. James
of Kentucky and Judge James b. Tar
vim Of C%ovington, Ky, who had de-
clared unqualifedly for Mr.. Bryan as
the Democratic nominee for president
in 1908 and from Alexander Throup of
New Haven, Conn, who declared that
Bryan was the natural and legitimate
leader of the Democratic party in the
coming campaign. When Mr.. Bryan,
who came last on the program, ros to
respond to the toast. Democracy VS..
Capitalization" he deferred for a few
moments entering upon his formal adj
dress until he had returned thanks for
the words of praise showered upon
him by the speakers who preceded
him and until he had set himself
right on the question of his possible
candidacy for the presidency.
II am not now" said Mr.. Bryan, "a
candidate for any Office. | have never
said hat | would never again be a
candidate for Office, but | want 10 say
now that talk of candidacy for office
does not affect me as it once did. |
believe that my place in history will
be determined not by what the people
are able to do for me, but by what |
am able to do for the people. | think
1t Is now too OOn 10 choose a candl-
date for president TO make the race
three years from now; it Is too early
to pledge ourselves to any one man.
] trust that before the time comes TO
name a man for the next presidential
race light may be thrown upon our
party's pathway and that a man may
be chosen who will be best able to do
for the party more than | have yet
been able to do"

JAP FLAGSHIP SINKS
ACCIDENT DESTROYS THE MIX.
ASA IN SASE6o HARBoR.
Fire at Midnight Reaches Magazine
and Friehtful Explosion Follows,
the Famous Vessel Going to the Bot
t~om-Togo Not on the Ship.

Toxic, Sept. 13.-The disaster to
the battleship Mikasa has cast a
gloom everywhere. The Mikasa was
Togo's flagship and was endeared to
the hearts of the people. The ship
was at anchor in Sasebo harbor when
the fire started at the base of the
main mast, at midnight. 1t spread
with great rapidity, exploding the aft
err magazine an hour after the fire had
been discovered. The Mikasa sank in
shallow water and it is believed the
ship can be repaired. Rescuing par.
ties were sent from the various war
ships in the harbor and there were
heavy casualties among them. Five
hundred and ninety-nine lives were
lost.
Various conjectures are current as
the cause of the fire. Some attribute
it to an overcharge of electricity.
Great relief was felt throughout ia
pan when 1t was learned that Admiral
Togo was not or board the ship at
the time of the fire.
In the battle Of the Sea OF Japan
the Mikasa was the heaviest loser of
all the Japanese ships, having sixty
three killed and wounded. 1t APP
preached nearer to the Russians
than any other battleship.
