SMOTHER THE BOSSES.

Ankeny republicans have won out in
the primaries, but there yet remains
much to do in safeguarding the inter-
ests of the senator. The convention
will be held tomorrow and there are
enough of the defeated crowd to attend
to try for disruption. Several shrewd
lobbyists will be there to create trouble
and it behooves the loyal delegates to
remain on guard.
Tricky politics will undoubtedly be
played and efforts made to mislead,
or steal away, delegates by devious
means. Such men as have surrounded
the Evening Bunc" political machine
will not be content with the singing
rebuke given them by the voters. Out
of revenge they will enter the con-
vention tomorrow in the hope of Gre
ating discord and stirring up rue
lions.
They should be treated with the con-
tempt they deserve.

stance leads TO the belief that the
burglar tried to close and lock the
safe again, but failed to do so in his
haste and confusion.
THE small door to the money box
was pried out and was carried away
with the money box. There is no ev!
dence that il was broken for no frag-

that a professional would have encum-

cash and s111.70 in checks, the latter
being two for sl1.70, one for $40 by |
Mrs. Keller. one for $50 by e. C. Al

the only circumstance against the |
theory that some one familiar with the
premises and the business committed |
the deed for he must have known that
the checks would be worthless to him.

think of this and took the drawer with
