IS GAINING
THE LANDSLIDE OF SATURDAY
MAKES BIG CHANGES IN
THE FIGURES.

Des Moines, May 15.-The anti
Cummins hurricane which swept the
conventions and caucuses throughout
the state Saturday was even more de-
structiye to the state house machine
than first reports indicated. Com
plete reports from nine counties
which decided on the governorship
Saturday, show that they will send
149 votes in solid delegations to the
state convention. 81
This does not include Iowa and Wa
pello, where Perkins has a big lead,
and is almost certain to lead. With
these two counties, the anti-C ummins
gain on Saturday will reach 1888, and
if Jackson, which is still in doubt, is
added, the total gain will reach 20S.
The figures show Governor Cum
minis to have 495 instructed delegates
as compared with 5031a in the same
counties in 1901, a loss of S1s to date.
Perkins has I'll instructed delegates,
Rathbun 80. There are &C other anti
Cummins delegates, nearly all of
whom are for Perkins, but in order
to be ultra conservative, as they are
not instructed, the delegates are plac-
ed in a separate column. The total
anti-Cummins delegates as shown by
the Perkins, Rathbun and uninstruct-
ed vote, is 367 as compared with 49S
for Cummins. This gives Governor
Cummins a lead of only 12S, while a
week ago he was 312 ahead.
Wapello county now stands Perkins
81, Cummins II, with Ottumwa and Ell
don caucuses to be held.

But we paint your house and mill and out

about grinding paint; for some people mix
their paint with a stick in a rub.
We use lead-and zinc-n0thing else. And

They are both white; when are they

1t; but tub-mixed lead d-zinc is streak

We grind as you grind: and our paint is

malely Il is neither lead nor zinc, but lead

German an Invalid,

Washington, ID. c., March 1.-THE
active career of Senator Arthur p. Cor
man is at an end, according to friends
familiar with the nature of the illness
which has confined him to his home for
the last six w.eks. 1t has been reported
he was suffering from grip, but this is
now said not to be the fact, although the
exact nature of his ailment is still kept
from the public. Mr.. German may be
able to return to his seat in the Senate
before the close of the session, but if he
does it will not be to take an active part
in the proceedings Nor ia he expected
to go through another campaign in
in Maryland, or seek reelection. 1t is
evident from an admission made by
friend familiar with his condition that
the Senators health is permanently and
gravely impaired by some incurabie or
gauic trouble, necessitating the quie.est
aud most regular sort of life. Inlor-
nation obtainable indicates that his
trouble is of the heart - This will be
sad news to Senator Germans many

that the above is an exaggerated account

Approves Doctrines of Pastor.

There was notable expires ion of con-
fidence 10 the orthodox soundness of the
Rev. w. NJ. Vines, pastor of Freemason
Street Baptist Church, of Norfolk, at the
morning service yesterday. DIR. Vines's
sermon a week ago on the subject Of
science and the Bible has attracted
widespread comment, and ne has even
been accused of heresy by some, The
burning topic in his congregation, the
largest and weallhiest Baptist Church in
that section, was the pastors views on
the subject OF creation and the Book ct
Job, which he suggested might be
parallels, and or Other advanced ideas
held by him. AT the morning service
yesterday the board OF deacons of the
church presented a set OfresolutiOns fully
indOrsiug Or. Vines as an orthodox Chris
tan minister, and declaring his views in
line with the best thought of character.
When the resolutions were adooted a
vote of confidence in the pastor was sug-
gested. aud the congregation rose as one
man to recor its approval of DR.. Vines.
The pastor was profoundly moved by
this Endorsement of his flock.
