IOWA REPUBLICANS.
State Convention Renominates Gov.
ernor Cummins.

Des Moines.-The Republican state
convention Wednesday renominated
Governor A. B. Cummins for chief ex-
ecutive on the first ballot, completed
the nominations for state officers with
but few contests, adopted a platform
favoring "recoprocity inaugurated by
Blaine and advocated by Mckinley and
Roosevelt" and adjourned.
All fears of a split in the convention
with the consequent certainty of two
Republican tickets in the field disap-
peared when Governor Cummins'
strength developed in the district eau
cuses held in the morning, and the con-
vention was as harmonious as any
ever held by the Republicans Of the
state.
Governor Cummins, as he claimed
all along, had a majority of the dele
gates and the action of the state cen
trail committee in adding to the tenn
porary organization some Perkins dele
Fates did not interfere with his control
of the situation.

SALE OF SPRINGS
SULPHUR NGS IN GRAND
COUNTY CHANGE HANDS.
BIG IMPROVEMENTS PLANNED
Three Hundred Thousand Dollars to
Be Spent by New Owners.-New
Bath Houses Will Be Built.-Early
Eyeurciop Announced
Excursion Announced.

EXCURSION announced.
Denver.-Sulphur Springs on the
Moffat road has been sold to COM
pany having j. B. Adams of this city
and F. M. Owenby of Longmont as it's
sponsors. These gentlemen represent
eastern men who have the money to
make Sulphur Springs one of the great
health resorts of the United States.
The price paid for the property is $780,
600 and it is said that the company
viii make a total expenditure of $780,
900, The Moffat road has already heep
asked to name its terms for carrying
passengers to and from the resort on a
communication basis
Frank Byers has owned the mineral
Springs at Sulphur since the death OF
his father, the late William N. Byers,
some years ago. He sold 1,1S0 acres
of land with the springs to the new
owners and will step out of it's man.
agement entirely. The new manage
ment has arranged to take an immense
crowd over to Sulphur Springs August
11th and will have a very low rate in
effect. The railroads of Colorado will
be asked to cooperate and the Bur
lington has already put in a rate from
points on its line and branches. The
excursion will be in the nature of a
grand opening of the new springs and
will call residents of Denver to the
scene of the new resort. The bath
houses now in use are small and poor
and will be replaced by palatial bath
houses of the best type. The hotels
will be improved, the railway will put
in new park near its depot and the
new health resort will be heralded by
extensive advertising as the greatest
place for ailing people in the United
States. The waters of the springs are
considered by experts to be among the
best in the country and only the fact
that a railroad has not been running
to the place until the past seven
months, when the Moffat road reached
there, has kept the resort back.
Mr.. Owenby is making extensive
preparations for the great excursion
to the springs on the 11th and the day
is expected to mark such an awaken
ing Of Sulphur Springs as has not been
known in years in any town of the
country. The land bought by the new
company will be placed on sale at once
and the proceeds of all except what is
needed for the resort buildings will be
put into the improvements.

IMMIGRATION
SHOWS A DECREASE

San Francisco, Dec. 24.-'sThe exo-
dus of Japanese laborers from the
sugar plantations of Hawaii to the
United States is showing decrease
said K Matsubera, the new Japanese
vice consul at San Francisco, yester-
day. The Japanese immigration soc1e-
ties bring laborers from Korea to
Hawaii, and these societies, accord
ing to Matsubera, are directly inter
ested in holding laborers on the SUI
gar estates. When they arrive here
these societies have brought power
full pressure to bear upon the Japan
csc government to compel the cool
les to stay out, and it is becoming
apparent that the immigration socie-
ties are winning their fight.

extent local and is not primarily a
question of wages or hours.
