city, July 25.-Sioux City
paeA ag house officials have persistent
ly refused to- allow an inspection of
their scales by City Sealer Dan Dinee,n.
permission TO enter the local packing
houses negotiations have been carried
on between the packing house superin-
tendents and the city officers for the
purpose of reaching an agreement. The
packers consented to allow the nspec-
ton only of scales used for weighing
products or supplies bought or sold in
Sioux City, while the city claims juris-
diction over all products sold in the
state.
AT the regular meeting of the council
last night the matter was just mem
toned after verbal report from Mr..
Dineen which was Of general char
acter and did not mention the packers.
Definite action was postponed until
next week. If by that time City At
torney Fred Sargent cannot convince
the packers of the citys right to in
spect their scales the council Will un-
doubtedly make test case of the affair
and prosecute the big packing COM
panies for obstructing an officer in the
discharge of his duties.
Mr.. Dineen's experiences with mer-
chants who Sc short weights or
measures, eliminating last week with
the fining of A. L. George, a baker
have aroused the counGflm 1t was
decided that monthly report of the
names OF those whose weights and
measures are short should be filed
with the city clerk. This will be
equivalent to making the names pub
bic, as the report will be subject to
publication in the newspapers.
The motion to this effect. which
passed unanimously, was made by AIS
derinan ID. f. Kerby. Such report
is provided for In the ordinance which
created the position Of city sealer Of
weights and measures last December.
I'm a short verbal report Mr.. Dineen
declared that he had used up five
pounds of shot in correcting scales
which weighed short. and that out of
ten gallon measures examined by him
only two would hold gallon. He de-
clared the hardware stores deliberately
sold measures which would not hold
the tipulated amount. Hereafter Mr..
Dineen will be furnished blanks on
which to make a monthly report.

Such Was Sentiment, Even
Among Anti-Cmmmins Fol-
lowers, at Convention
BoLrlNe WOULD RUIN POLITICS
Judge Lewis, of GIenwood, Says It
Would lnjure Republican Politics for
Years to come-Majority Believe
Now That cummins Will Be Re-
nominated Without Disturbance.

Special to Times Republicans.
Council Bluffs, July 25.-Standpat-
tiers who were looking for sympathy
and encouragement in their continued
fight against Goverrios Cummins,
found none of it among the delegates
who were here attending the congress
sional convention, even among the
anti -Cummins followers.
Judge w. S. Lewis, of Glenwood, seat
of strong opposition to Cummins, in
the preliminary fight, said: Il have
thought all along, and still think, there
will be harmony in the republican
ranks, no matter what the result OF
not to be any boiling for the defeated
faction, for it would ruin republican
politics for years to come" Concerns
ing talk of democrats participating in
republican primaries, Judge Lewis
said: There have been good many
democratic conversions during the
past years There is w. e. Mitchell,
of Sidney. who was democrat until
yRooseveit's first administration, and
George w. Cullison. of Harlan, who
not so many years ago was candidate
for congress on the democratic ticket
running in opposition to Congressman
Smith. Both these men are now re-
publieans. and are in Council Bluff 3 as
delegates to the convention which
nominated Congressman smith,.
A. C.. Ross, of Audubon, said: AL
tho I have been an anti-Cummins man
from the first, believe he will be re-
nominated without any disturbance
The conservative element of the
standpat crowd will favor harmony no
matter what the outcome of the cons.
vention" Audubon county was the
scene Of a contest at the primaries and
there will be contrasting delegations at
Des Moines, but Mr.. Ross said he did
not believe their claims will be made
the subject of any bitter contest.
Senator John w. Foster, of Guthrie
county, who led the fight for Governor
Herriott, said: "It looks to me as tho
Governor Curnmins had carried the.
state by good safe majority. OF
course, I cannot tell what the conven-
ton will do, but 1t seems to me the
people have expressed themselves as in
favor of another nomination for the
governor. Both sides have employed
practical politics and the standpat,ers
have lost. For this reason it seems TO
me that they should not try to kick
when the thing is over. When man
loses in a game. Of cards never like
to hear him howl, and 1 feel the same
way about this matter
Others spoke in the same general
way, and there is little to indicate
that southwestern Iowa republicans Of
the standpat faction look with favor
on further attempts to defeat Governor
Cunmihs.

STATE SAFE GUARDIAN.
Dubuque Humane Officer Talks of
Placing Dependent Boys.


dubuque. July 25-"It Is my idea
that 1t is best not to send boy TO
reformatory unless he is accused OF
some crime or sent there for incor-
rigbility.' said Humane officer Nc
Cabe when asked for his opinion on the
subject, a number of recent cases hav-
ing brought the matter to question.
an cases, however, there is no 9TH
err place. For instance. when boy Is
placed in local institution and out
grown the age limit there. with no
proof as to his parentage, there are few
families who will adopt him and conse-
quently there Is nothing else TO do but
place him somewhere where he will be
safe. 1t is better for the state to be
his guardian than that he should go
without one.
I'VE always try to get the boys good
homes with some farmer or other per-
son willing to care for them. before
we send them to the Industrial school.
l am speaking now of the dependent
boy, not the one charged with crime
or guilty of incorrigbility.
"But parents who adopt children US
uafly want to know something of the
parentage OF the boy, and where there
is nothing to recommend in this regard
1t is difficult to secure a home for the
boy. Consequently, there have been
cases Of dependent boys, who have
been sent to the Industrial schools to
learn trades and have been placed I'M
der the guardianship of the state until
they were Of sufficient age to care for
themselves
ut is my Idea, of course, that II it is
possible to secure a good home for a
boy that is the best place to put him.
but where that is impossible it is a
good thing to have a safe place to put
him until he may learn to be useful

Special to Times Republican.
Waterloo, July 25.-,P. w Belangee
a real estate dealer in, this city, lost a
diamond ring yesterday in a peculiar
manner, and there is but little hopes
entertained for its recovery, altho a
vigilant search is being made. The
weight of the diamond was a karat and
quarter and it's value was placed at
$3.50 by the jeweler who sold it to him.
Mr.. Belangee had left his ring on the
stand after washing his hands in the
toilet room of his home on South street.
His wife came in later and took the
ring from where he had left it and put
1t OF tray with some burned matches.
When Mr.. Belangee entered the room
again he picked up the tray and threw
the contents of it into the toilet and
flushed 1t without knowing that his
valuable ring was on the tray with the
matches.
Altho only enc flush was made be-
fore the loss was discovered, it has
been, impossible to locate the ring by
digging up the sewer in three paces.
Those who have the work in charge
were in hopes that the lost article
could be found between the joints Of
the pipes without taking them up. This
has been unsuccessful and the plumb
ers have experimental by flushing
brass rings, down and out of dozen
sent down only two or three were
found lodged in the crevices. Before
all the pipes are taken up a rope will
be sent thru to which will be attached
