R. 6. DUN'S REVIEW
NO UNFORTUNATE DEVELOPMENTS
EXCEPT SOUTHERN STORM.
CrOp Returns Are Up to Expectation,
Aside from Some LOSS in Cot

High Prices.

Weekly Review of Trade will say:
No unfavorable developments have
appeared except the damage by storm

tirely local in effect Autumn trade is
now in full swing and especial activity
has been reported in dry goods. mil

hibits and the activity of importers IL

Crop returns are up to expectations.
aside from some loss in cotton. which
caused a violent rise In prices.
Scarcity of most forms OF steel and
pressure for quick delivery tend to
harden quotations. while the rise In pig
iron has continued until the inflated
position of few years ago seems
about to be attained.
The most important development OF
the week in the textile Industries was
the elimination Of irregularity In pri-
mary markets for cotton goods because
of the sharp advance In the prices o.
raw material. Purchasers who hesl-
tated to place orders beyond immedi-
ate needs in the house that better term,
would soon be available, changed their
attitude abruptly and endeavored t"
arrange distant deliveries.

Helped by the oars Captain Broad

As the knife Of a sailor parted the

a thing of life. She was on her jour-

There was no longer reason to fear.
Women and children were in gov

land no other craft that floats Is so

at the end Of that restraining hawser
and not in the ride across bay in the
life boat driven by the wind and by
the powerful strokes of the crew.
The boat was pulled into the pine
woods above the Navy Yard with the
storm still raging. The sailors caught
to the trees and held the boat steady

to their necks and the children had to
be held above the head of the sailors

the party come out of their terrible
experience with hysteria or wrecked

from evaporating, case, bottle and all,

MORE TINE FOR BUSsE
New Lease of Life Granted the MUIR
derer to Give Court Time to Act
=. Governor Extends the Time.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, July 14.-Another lease
on life has been accorded Louis Busse.
who was sentenced to be hanged for
the murder of his wife in Butler coun-
ty on June 49, 1901. Since his convic-
ton three dates have been set for
Busse's execution-April IL, 1908,
April 20, 1906, and August 10, 1906 -
but all of them have had he chang
ed, owing to continued efforts in the
courts to save the mans life.
Another appeal is now pending in the
supreme court on a habeas corpus
hearing. When Governor Cummins fix
ed the last date for Buses execution
/ he warned the attorneys for the con-
demned man that they should hasten
their appeal to the supreme court, Civ
ing them, as he thought, sufficient time
to get an opinion from the court. THE
attorneys claim, however, that they
were unable to perfect their argument
in time for submission at the May
term and now the supreme court can
not take up the case until its open ses-
sion in September.
Attorneys for the defense have filed
a motion with the supreme court ask
ing that body to grant stay against
the executive order for Buses hang
ing. That involved disputed legal
problem as to whether the supreme
court has jurisdiction over an execu-
tive order for execution. In order to
avoid any technical legal quibbling be-
tween the executive and the Judiciary,
Governor Cummins has agreed to again
postpone the date of Buses execution
and may not fix a time until the SUI
preme court has passed on the habeas
corpus case, it being understood that
decision will be advanced on that at
the September term.
The habeas corpus case is based on
the claim that Busse was never legally
indicted and that there is in reality no
valid judgment on record in the SUI
preme court confirming Buses con-
viction by the lower court. The Bus
Sc case was affirmed in the supreme
court by a divided bench and Justice
Ladd. who wrote the opinion, said that
he thinks the judgment of the lower
court should be affirmed" Attorneys
for the defense. Dawson & Gibson of
Waverly, commended that this language
does not constitute a valid judgment.

Eight Marriages Figure in Liti-
CATION Over Property Valued
at About $4,000
WOMAN PLAINTIFF IN CASE
Mrs. Frank Smith Began Four Suits
in the District Court at Avoca,
Whose Decision Was Against Her.,
But This Verdict Was Recently Re-
verscd by the Supreme Court.
Special to Times-Republican

Council Bluffs, July 1.-THE title to
Hancock and Carson and number Of
town lots in the former place. is in
volved in a suit presenting some of the
most perpieXing and intricate questions
of martial entanglements ever report
ed in Iowa.
Eight marriages figure in the matri-
monial miX-up. In and thru them Mrs
Frank Smith, plaintiff in the action
which has caused the mix-up, figures
quite prominently. In 1871 the plain-
tiff married Albert Salvander, but only
lived with him three months, when
Salvander disappeared. Iu 1876, sup
posing Salvander to be dead, Mrs.
Smith says she met and married Frank
Smith without securing divorce from
Salvander This marriage it is claim
ed by the defendants to the case, does
not appear a matter of record in the
county where the marriage is said to
have taken place. They lived togeth-
er as husband and wife until 1881.
In that year, Smith, like his prede-
cessor, faded from view. and with the
exception of visit of three weeks in
Bonaparte, paid no further attention to
her for a long period of years. Mrs.
Smith says her sister told her she read
in the papers of Smiths death, and be-
lieving the coast to be clear, in 1888
Mrs Smith again launched out on the
matrimonial wave, this time being

The Tangle Begins.
In about the year 1900, Smith, tired
of life in Pottawattamie county, sold
out everything and returned to Lee and
Van Buren, counties and scenes of his
former visitations. He married Ollie
Scheyil, from whom he was shortly at
ter divorced. In the meantime, and at
some time during his separation from
the Mrs. Smith, principal in this
SKETCH Smith had another wife, hav-
ing married Anne Norton, of Hancock
who died.
After the divorce from Ollie Scheyll
he again ran across the original Mrs
Smith, who was mourning the death of
her husband. the late Mr.. Dickinson,
, and with whom he expressed such
soulful attentions that they were mar
ried in Ottumwa. Following this mar
riage Smith lived but short time.
After his death. Mrs. Smith got busy
and after examining into the manner
Of the disposition of her husbands
property, claims to have found he had
bought and sold real estate a number of
times, and that as she was never called
upon to attach her name to deed. she
had never relinquished her dover right
and interest in the said property. Her
claims were apparently strengthened
by the birth of a daughter.
Mrs Smith then began four suits in
the district court at ANoca. The judg
ment of the lower court was against
her, but was recently reversed by the
supreme court. The value of the prop.
erty involved is about $4,000.

Sac City, July 14.-Hon. e. H. Hub
bard, of Sioux City. member of con-
gress from the Eleventh district was
In Sac City on Tuesday. Thru an err
oneous announcement in a. daily news
paper, he was led to believe that Con-
gresham G. B Lands, of Indiana
would be in the city to lecture at the
chautauqua assembly that day and he
came to meet Mr.. Lands as matter
of courtesy. OF course he was misin
formed both as to the day that Mr..
Lands was to come and to his coming
at all.
Mr.. Hubbard learned from his con-
versation with Sac City Republicans
that they are absolutely convinced Of
the fairly elected majority of delegates
for Cummins and. in consideration of
individual contests it was plain to see
that he would not. hold differently from
them, in case he found facts as they
believe them to be and as he thinks
they probably are. He said that it
seemed to him on the face of things
that Cummins las won the nomination.

Attitude of the Radical Stand
patters With Reference to
State Convention
WILLING TO DIVIDE PARTY
Frank w. Simmons, Who Led the Bolt
of Perkins Delegates in WapeIo,
Comes Out in Interview Declaring
State Convention Should Force Nam
ing Of Two Tickets.
Special to TImes-Republican.


Ottumwa July l4.--Tlat some of the
radical standpatters favor forcing a
bolt in the state convention rather
than to allow the majority o. legally
elected delegates to rule is shown by
the attitude of Col. Frank w. Sim
mons, as expressed in the Review of
this city. Simmons is the man who
conducted the Perkins bolt in the coun-
ty convention and who acted. 1t is said,
on Instructions from Blythe at Buring-
ton. He is the man who conducted
the Perkins end o. the fight here and
made practically all the motions in the
rump convention. He wants the
standpatters to force a bolt at the state
convention. The Review says
Col Frank W. Simmons. one of the
leading standpatters of this city, and a
gentleman of vide influence turnout
the state, said to the Review Thurs
day morning that if he could have
his way about ii the state convention
would witness a Cummins bolt. He
also added that the republican majority
was too big hing to insure peace
full solution of things. Speaking of
strikes he compared a prosperous era
in republican politics to like conditions
in the labor world where he had OBJ
served during the past twenty-fiW
years that strikes only took place when
times were prosperous, never when
times We're hard. ut is the same way
in politics" said Mr.. Simmons, the
republican party is too prosperous and
there is a strike on. am in favor Of
forcing Cummins to bolt the conven-
ton and name his own organization. |
believe in republican principles repub
lican doctrines as they have been
promulgated successfully for so many
years, and if Cunmins can be forced to
strike then we shall go ahead and
nominate candidate by the regular
organization and go before the voters
of the state willing to fight it out.
IF it is to be fight against the
regular party organization l am in fa-
vor of forcing the issue right from the
start" concluded Mr.. Simmons.
