DOLLIVER SURE
TO WIN IN IOWA
Radical Standpatters Cannot Beat
Him and Governor Cummins
Will Not Try to.
Special to Tho journal.

Special to The Journal. # +
Des Moines, Iowa, Dec. 3.-The re.
election of Senator j. P. Dolliver is
not seriously questioned by. Iowa poll
ticians. The opposition to him among
the extreme ,standpatters, which was
inspired by his course at the state re-
publican convention. has failed to rally
enough strength to cause his friends
much uneasiness The feeling is con-
fined to a few of the most ardent Per
kins men and railroad politicians, whose
plans to seize the convention were fooled
by Senator Deliver casting his influence
against the shadowy contests brought
by the Perkins managers. r.
Senator Dolliver is strong with the
people. The opposition among the po-
itical managers whose plans were up
set at the convention does not appear
to have extended to the standpat rank
and file. This element. the strength of
which was indicated by Governor Cum
Minis small majority in spite Of the
fact that he drew some democratic sup
port, is friendly to Mr.. Dolliver. No cry
has gone up from the standpat press of
the state for his defeat.
Governor Cumnins' pledge, given in
his Fort Dodge speech, at the opening
of the pre-convention campaign, that
he would not oppose the reelection of
Senator Dolliver. is one of the live
memories in Iowa at this time, both
among Cummins and anti-Cummins men.
No hint is heard from any quarter that
the governor does not expect to observe
this promise. The friends of the gov
ernor look forward to him as the sue
cessor of Senator Allison, whose con-
t1nued i'll health cannot but suggest
that at best he will not be able to give
many more years to service in the SEN
ate.

ample Of the silversmith IS art. It con-
sisted of twelve-pint soup tureen and

boats and two large meat dishes, with
well and till. On either side of the
tureen was a panel engraving.
On the diverse side was the inscrip-

On the front of the tureen cover was
the medallion seal of the navy depart
ment, on the back the seal of the city
of Minneapolis. The panel effect was
carried out in the vegetable dishes and
on each Of these there were two pan
els depicting naval scenes. Every fea-
ture of the plate was in accordance
with the general design, and each piece
was engraved with some fitting en-
blem.
In speaking of the robbery, George
said today: "The only way the plate
could possibly be. disposed Of would be
by melting It up and selling it for

would be almost impossib1e.''y .ee!,---.

JOLT AHEAD FOR
DIVORCE COLONY
Abandonment Declared a Felony
by Certain States-Uneasi-

Journal Special Service.

SIoS4ea
Pierre, s. D., Dec. 3.-The divorce
industry Of Sioux Falls is likely to
receive a severe jar if a few more
states follow the lead of New York,
Nebraska and Virginia and declare
abandonment of wife or minor children
to be felony. Besides the three
states named, the governors of several
other states have recommended the
same laws.
This action makes the offense an
extraditable one, and already Governor
Elrod has granted several extradition
warrants. on that charge, and has sew
eral pending. In some Of the applica-
tions it is alleged that the person
wanted Is in this state for the pur-
pose of securing a divorce, and this
is what will make the 'scolonies''
rustic.
With an unsympathetic sheriff likely
to appear to take the divorce appli-
cant on criminal charge, the GAL
cites of the colony are likely to be
rudely broken in upon at any time.

Mr.: Bjerke was found on his hands

His throat had been severed from ear

was suspected, but on closer examina-

that the coroner $ jury was not called.
Mr.. Bjerke had been morose for some
time and evidently had taken his razor
With him in contemplation Of the deed.
Stepping into the barn he drew the
razor across his throat, severing both
the jugular vein and the windpipe.
Suffering horribly from the pain he
was evidently driven to madness and
with superhuman strength lifted a
four-pound pillow hammer and crushed
it into, his skull. Both instruments
were, we're found beside him in pool Of
