The

Helena Richie
Bv DELAND

Ii is difficult to make these
little pieces of type say to you
how great a story this is. Of
course the simple telling over its
goodness won't do. 1t is more
than great and good-more than
a mere story. The N. Y. Times
calls it ga perfect book" but it is
more than a book--it is a part Of
life itself-vivid, splendid, real.
For once the magazines and
newspapers of England and
America say the same thing and
say it in chorus-say that at last
a really great novel has come to
be born. The reviewer in the
Independent, for instance, realizes
strongly one side of tits relent-
kss moral force. He says "these
prettily painted sinners who real
lie so little of their lost condition
would fare better after an expe-
rience like Helena Riches.
There is too much honey-jug-
Cling of sinners these days. II
She has made it a story Of indie
scribable moral beauty" The
Times calls it
perfect book"
"Almost every element that
goes to the making of a great
novel is present in it-humor,
pathos, observation of life, knowl-
edge of the world" -

Without question it is the
greatest novel Of the day.

MESSAGE is MYSTERIOUS.
Missing Father Of William Crosby, Of
Waterloo, May Be Traced.
c,aoiol ~ Tiruas-Repuhlican.

Special to Times-Republican.
Waterloo, April ga telegram sent
by Hugh X. Hartung to this city from
Los Angeles, is considerable of a puz-
zle. being worded: "Crosbys saw so
dead" William Crosby, a marble
dealer of this city, says none of his
relatives are in Los Angeles, n his
is the only family, altho the last d.
rectory gave the anne of a young
man and a young lady of that name,
but they were apparently transients.
Crosby said that his father had start
ed for California in the early fifties
from New York state, but nothing has
since been heard from him.. The son
was at one that time only three years
old. The missing man had married
Williams mother when she was six
teen years old. When the gold fever
broke out he Joined the motley throng
that set it's face towards the setting
sun. 1t has ever been a matter of
speculation as to whether the father
persisted like many others while cross
ing the great western plains or wheth-
err he got to the Elderado in safety.
Mr.. Crosby says he has often de-
sired to go to San Francisco and Los
Angeles and make inquiry about his
father. 1t is possible that he may yet
be living, but If so he would be a very
old man, over eighty. The Crosbys have
an opera house in San Francisco, and
it is possible hat his father remarked
when reaching the coast, left sons and
they are the proprietors of this play
house. There is the stimulation to
curiosity which the intervening years
have given to ascertain just what be-
came of the senior Mr.. Crosby, and
the Waterloo citizen may yet be able
to make the eastward journey.

Tenth Districts Action in Re.
tusing to Endorse Shaw's APP
pointment a Surprise
WASHINGTON DISCUSSING 1T
Not the Slightest Hope That Shaw Can
Get the Endorsement of His Own
State for the Nomination for the
Presidency-TaIk of cummins for
Presidency.

Washington, April 27.-Great sur
others by the news from the Tenth dis
trict that the Tenth district convention
had turned down resolutions indorsing
Secretary of the Treasury Leslie NJ.
Shaw and had adopted resolutions in
dorsing Cummins. Members of the
delegation are not discussing the SUBJ
ject for publication. Just one inter-
probation, however, is placed upon the
conventions action by those familiar
with Iowa political conditions. This
Interpretation is hat Secretary Shaw's
political aspirations are in the great
est danger of being blocked in his w
state and district. The feeling here Is
that there is no longer any assurance
that Secretary Shaw can get his own
state delegation in 1908 in case he
seeks the nomination then, and that
with Cummins sentiment running as
strong in the state in 1908 as 1t APP
pears to be now judging from county
returns. if any Iowa mar gets Iowa's
support for the presidency it will be
Cummins and not Shaw. Altogether,
yesterdays incident is. looked on as
extremely discouraging to Secretary
Shaw's candidacy and it would cause
no surprise here If 1t resulted in inn
portant changes in his plans and con-
siderably longer retention of his pres
ent cabinet place than hitherto in
tended.
That the present Iowa campaign and
its developments are being watched
nationally is evidenced by the follow
ing editorial in the Washington Times
last night, in which the possibility of
an Iowa delegation for Cummins for
president in 1908 is referred to. The
Times says:
Governor Cummins of Iowa is in the
nomination.
The two term rule has been sacred
in hat state, and just to keep 1t invio-
late, all the politicians, federal officers,
railroads. postmasters, and the WASH
ington delegation pooled issued to keep
him out.
Painful to relate, the governor took
the bit in his teeth, and went
a-stumping around his state. With
about 800 delegates this far chosen, he
has a lead of nearly 200, and the oppo-
sition cannot even find a hole to crawl
into. 1t is now suspected that he is
going to sweep the state as he never
did before. If he does, his victory
will put him into the presidential
class. and in 1908 he will be asking
the Iowa delegation to a national con-
supposed heretofore to be
Shaw's asset"

to Des Moines to appeal to it's voters
for support.
An audience of perhaps 500, which
n,ell filled the lower tloor and about
one-third of the first balcony, heard
Mr.. Perkins. 1t was made up very
largely of his friends, and to all APP
~nearance they enjoyed very much his
keen, sarcastic thrusts at the governor.
r,hese were numerous, and in conse-
o,ence the audience had plenty of OPP
n%ortunities for applause, and 1T made
the most of them. Mr.. Perkins was
given an enthusiastic reception when
he came on to the platform and again
when he arose to speak, while applause
and laughter frequently interrupted
his remarks. For the most part his au-
dience was in complete sympathy with
him, altho many progressive republic
cans sat in the audience.
No Direct Attack.
Mr.. Perkins address was devoted
principally to Governor Cummins.
There was no direct attack Upon the
governor, but indirectly the speaker
sought to discredit his anti-railroad
campaign, and to hold him up as a
man dangerous to the future welfare
and success of the republican party.
Mr.. Perkins entered into an extended
exposition of his own record as a
faithful republican and declared that
he had always sought to serve it hon
estly and to keep faith with the peo-
ple. He made special attack upon Gov
ernor Cummins as a foe to the pro-
gram of President Roosevelt, and de-
clared emphatically that he was not
holding up the presidents hands.

REAL ESTATE LITIGATION.

Lawyer F. J. Cochran With Fraud.

Lawyer F. J. Cochran With Fraud.
Special to Times Republican.
Iowa City, April &c. A. Murphy,
a prominent livery man, and f. j..
Cochran, a local attorney, are entan-
gled in a law suit over q real estate
deal, which promises to develop some
highly sensational testimony before the
case is ended. In a petition filed In the
county court house, Murphy claims
that in 1902 he employed Cochran to
purchase for him some real estate in
Iowa City, giving as part payment
some land which Murphy owned in
Louisa county. The fee for the service
agreed to was $500. Two weeks after
the agreement, Cochran reported that
the deal had been completed, and re-
ceived from Murphy his note amount
ing to $500. According to the petition.
Cochran Immediately sold the note to
the johnson County Bank for the pur-
pose of placing it in the hands of an
innocent purchaser. The note has not
been paid since that time and now
amounts to $475. Murphy now claims
that he has learned that Cochran was
also employed by another party to sell
the Iowa City real estate to Murphy,
that he was in fact the attorney for
both parties to the deal. Murphy now
sues to recover the amount of the note
interest, claiming that in repre-
senting the second party Cochran was
guilty of fraud.

Ball With Northern Institution.
Special to Times Republican.
Iowa City, April 27.-There is a pos
sibility that the state university will
meet the University of Wisconsin next
fall in the first foot ball game to be
played between the two institutions for
many years. The Badger authorities
have asked the Hawkeye management
for a game or series of games, and the
proposition is being. considered here
very carefully. The only objection that
has beer offered to such a game is the
unsettled condition of athletics at the
northern school. Wisconsin declares
that it is willing to send it's team to
Iowa City or to meet Iowa in Madison,
and the members of the schedule com
mittee here state that such a game or
series of games would be entirely salts
factory to Iowa If they were assured
that Wisconsin would have a team next
fall.

There was blood in his Eye, as
he walked down the isle of Nc
Martins.
He was looking, he said, for the Party
who Sold him that Coat-and he put an
unnecessary accent or the word Sold"
But the said party saw him first, and
Got Busy with another Customer in a
jiffy.
The Man said the Coat was a Cripple
and it needed no affidavit to prove it.
He said 1t looked All Right when he
bought It a week ago, but he guessed
there was Dope in the Mirror, or the
Salesman had mesmerized him.
Because, not ever his Wife would be-
lieve that He could have put up such a
Job on himself as to pay REAL MONEY
for a Coat that made him Look like a
Monkey, as this did.
He showed the Floorwalker how the
Coat was trying to Get the Best Of Him,
by Climbing up his Shoulders, and over
his Ears, every time he swung his arns
about in Conversation
He pointed out that the left Lapel
bulged up as if he had a live kitten under
it, and that it "set-away' from his vest
as if it was built to display a knight
Templar badge the size of a platter.
Then he caught hold of the Floor
walker by his two Lapels and Pulled him
down round-shouldered.
He did this to illustrate how UNHAPPY
he felt at the back of his Neck, while
wearing the pinchy Coat-Collar he then
suffered from.
Oh, Mr.. Man had a Sore-Coat, for
fair!
And, he Wanted his Moneyback quick!
But the Floorwalker had an Easier
Way of Fixing Things than that.
He knew Mr. Man had merely drawn
the wrong coat in the usual Clothes Lot
terry, and that its Flat-iron Faking had
just aUilted out in the recent damp
weather.
The Floorwalker was a Wise Guy and
he was used to quick thinking.
So, he said he'd just have the Bushel-
man FIX" that Sore-Coat in a jify, so it
Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1906-04-27

would fit MI. Man as slick as q whistle.
That's if the Man would just let him
have the Coat for a Little While, so the
Tailors could make a Few alterations.
So the Sore-Coat was "shaped-up' in
a hurry, once again, by old Dr.. Flat-iron.
and restored to its Original Elegance.
Its Bullying Lapel vas shrlnken to
the limit, its tight Collar stretched out
and set as smoothly as on the day the
Man bought 1t.
Then the exuberance of Cloth which
lay in wrinkles over the shoulder-blades
was sOeated away, into a contraction, by
old Dr.. Goose-the Flat-iron Fakir.
When The Man put the Coat on again
he hardly knew himself in it-such a
Slick Proposition had the Flat-iron de-
veloped in a bare thirty minutes.
But-the Floorwalker spoke from his
heart when he "l1oped we would now
have a month of Fine Weatherp
Because-he knew that the first Damp
day would again bring out all the doc
tored defects, in the Sore-Coat, as badly
as ever.
He knew these had not been per-
m%anently removed by Sincere, hand-nee-
d~le-qVoyk, but were only COVERED UP by
old DR.. Goose-the Flat-iron Fakir.
YOU see 50 per cent Of all Clothes
made by Custom Tailors, and by Cloth
iers, are faxed into their final shape by
the Flat-iron.
Because, that is the quickest and
easiest way of r%emedying practically all
defects in the Tailoring-of shrinking
and stretching the Cloth into shape,
through moisture and heat, instead of
Working it into permanently corrected
shape by expensive hand-needle-zvork.
So the Coat that's a "Beaut' when
you first put it on, at the mirror, may go
into a Spasm when the first damp day
gets after its Flat-iron taking.
We are telling you this because We
want to Open your Eyes to some Tricks
