The first sensation of the convention
came in the resolutions which contain
ed specific condemnation of the
practice of appointing female relatives
as deputies, This was a deliberate
slap at Theo. Kuhl and ended his
chances of nomination.
E. w. Houston was elected Asst.
Secretary and the real work of the
convention began with nominations
for representative. AS predicted by
the Review. H.C. Schroeder was pre-
sented. Union brought forward the
name of E. H. Swasey and jackson
presented Ed. Downey. The unpop-
ularity OF Schroeder was shown by the
fact that although Swasey's name was
brought forward by Caswell and a few
others only at the last moment the
vote stood Schroeder 70. Swasey GA,
Downey IS. On the formal ballot
five of Swasey's and five of Downev' s
went to Schroeder, the vote standing
Schroeder 80, swasey 50, Downey 13.
On motion of Swasey the nomina-
tion was made unanimous.
Herman Grill, the intellectual giant
of democracy nominated Mike Collins
and he went through by reclamation
as per program. Mike made a speech
saying that if elected he would fill the
Office as we'll as he had done in future
years. This sentiment was loudly
applauded and the program proceeded.
For Treasurer Kuhl had already
been killed off by the resolutions COM

AN ACRE OF FOLKS,
Thousands Attend Old Settlers,
Picnic Today.
SPECIAL PROGRAM is GIVEN.
Senator Saunders AS Orator Arouses
Greatest Enthusiasm.-OId Flag
Is Presented.

There are several thousand people
gathered at the city park today enjoy
ing the Old Settlers Picnic. Every
part OF the county is represented by
scores of the old timers and the new.
At noon the park presented the picture
of one vast dining room with merry
picnickers in every shady spot The
program began little before two
o clock.
On behalf of Mayor Carey Hon.
Carl F. kuehnle made an eloquent and
cordial speech of welcome, presenting
to the pioneers the great gilded Key
of the city.
President 7. j. Campbell responded
to the warm welcome most heartily.
The Review publishes his speech in
full.
A chorus of male voices was heartily
applauded and Mrs. Anna Robinson
then presented to the society an old
flag made by the patriotic ladies of
Milford in 1870. Mrs. Robinson spoke
eloquently with much feeling and
stirred responsive chord in the hearts
of all her listeners.
The flag was accepted by President
Campbell and it was an inspiring sight
as he stood waving the stars and
stripes and sang patriotic song in
which the chorus joined.
Hon. j. P. Conner was called upon
to introduce the speaker of the day.
He took occasion to pass a splendid
eulogy upon the Crawford boy who as
man has writ his name large upon
the annals of the state.
Hon. C. G. Saunders is at this hour
delivering the Grafton of the day. We
know that it will be replete with Wis
dom, earnestness and good fellowship
for all his old friends.
After the oration Uncle Morris will
conduct an old time District school
which contains humorous features.
The election of officers will follow and
many of the pickners will take supper
on the grounds. The band is furnish

COMING TO THE FRONT
Electric Lines Making Rapid
Progress In Iowa.
WHY NOT IN CRAWFORD? !?
Jefferson Bee Discusses Interurban
Railway Question In That
Vicinity.

The daily papers are printing maps
showing the established and proposed
interurban railway lines in Iowa. and
they all show an extension of the Des
Moines-Perry line to Jefferson Rough
preliminary surveys of such an exten-
sion were made as long as three years
ago by the Polk Company, of Des
Moines, and they have never taken
eyes off Jefferson as an ultimate
terminus of the line which is now
practically completed into Perry.
There is no stopping the advance of
the interurban. The limited eNper-
ience which we have had with them
in Iowa demonstrates that they help
the towns through which they pass.
Of course for towns within an hour
ride of Des Moines, it looks as if they
presented bid for people to go to
the Capital City to trade; but tor
towns as far as jefferson from the big
city, the tendency will be to bring
trade our way rather than take it the
other.
The greatest benefit which will
come with the interurbans, however,
is that they tend to cheaper local
transportation and facilitate inter
course between towns. They also
have an important bearing on local
freight rates, and if the line between
here and Perry is completed it will
mean cheaper fuel for Jefferson, as
the route will traverse the country
Immediately adjacent to our own coal
mines in the southeast part of the
county. At present the cost and the
difficulty of hauling by teams from
these mines makes the use of this
coal in any quantities almost out of
the question.
At the present time Webster City
is the most agitated town in the State

4 less than three lines are now making
for Webster City as a terminus. one
from Ames, one from Woodward, anc
one from Fort Dodge. The busircss

IMPROVEMENTS MEAN
BETTER MAIL SERVICE
Local Postoffice Installing Chutes and
Overhead Carrier Systems, Which
Hasten Dispatch of Mails and
Hasten Dispatch of Mails.

Extended improvements about the re-
ceiving window of the central post
office are in progress. When they are
completed the handling of mail will be
much more rapid than under the old
system.
The old narrow letter slots have. been
removed and square openings, above
the window ledge, instead Of below it,
have been substituted. Under the old
system letters dropped into small bins,
from which they were taken and sorted
When the change is completed, they
will slide thru chute directly upon
two asserting tables, one at either side
of the space behind the window.
When they are stacked for cancella
tion an overhead carrier system will
take them to the cancelling machines
Heretofore it has been necessary to
keep man constantly tramping the
100 feet between the. window and the
cancelling machines while the rush was
on. A similar arrangement will facil
itate the handling Of PACKAGES In
stead Of falling into a bin, packages
will drop into a wheeled basket, which
will be rolled away when full and an
other substituted for it. H.
These changes have been under con
sideration for over year, and thu
local authorities are congratulating
themselves on having at last secured
them. The work Of the clerks will b.
much ightened and the public will b
better served by the new system.

I.ABORER KILLED BY
FALL, OF FROZEN EARTH
Anton Rnderson, While Working in
Sandpit, Is Crushed to Death by
Great Mass Of Dirt.

Anton Anderson, a laborer employed
by Pitts Brothers, cement block max
ers, was instantly killed in the sandpit
yesterday afternoon by the falling Of
frozen earth.
Anderson was under a ledge Of frozen
earth, digging sand for the blocks. By
his side was heavy wheelbarrow that
he was filing. Suddenly, as he raised
up to take his load out, the ledge came
down with crash, and he was nearly
buried beneath the great pile. A
large jagged piece of the hard earth
struck him squarely on the head
knocking 1t with great force against
the wheelbarrow.
The other workmen witnessed the &C
cident and ran to the aid Of the in
jured man, but they were too late. His
head was crushed and he died a few
minutes later. Coroner J. M. Kistle1
was summoned and ordered the body
taken to the county morgue, and asked
the police to look for the mans rela
tives. Z.
Anderson lived at 5oS West LAX
street, and was not married. He i
thought to have relatives in the city
who will take charge of the remains.

MAILS ARE CROWDED
WITH FLOWER SEEDS
MINNEAPOLIS SUPPLIES SOUTH
WITH PLANT GERMS.
Climatic Conditions Below Mason and
Dixon Line Make Hardy Northern
Seeds Desirable and Minneapolis Is
the Market Unreasonable Weather
Delays Usual Rush at Home.

Minneapolis is supplying flower seeds
to the south. Under the favorable eli
matte conditions below Mason and
Dixon g line, Towering plants grow and
blossom profusely, but the rank growth
induced by the warm climate and long
summers causes them to degenerate
rapidly. In consequence hardy north
ern seeds are in great demand, and Min
neapolis is the center from which they
are distributed.
Seed packets are heavy item in the
outgoing mail at the postofice. AS the
postage is prepaid by stamps, the pack
cts are neither weighed nor. counted at
the Office, and it is impossible to know
just how many 60 out every day. Fore
man John Meyer of the mailing room
says that over a thousand seed pack
ages pass thru his department. every
day. Beyond this he can not give ex-
act figures. This tremendous trade in
seeds is also making. itself felt in the
| money order department, where the
amount paid out cashing orders in the
last month has been perceptibly swelled
by orders cashed by the seedsmen.
The 'seedsmen themselves are at a
loss. to tell just how heavy their spring
trade is and will be. Owing to the
unreasonable cold weather, the local
demand has been light 50 far, but the
increase in the out-of-town, and partic
ularly the southern, demand, has been
so great that the volume of business
to date has held even with that Of last
year in spite Of the falling off in loca
orders.
When the weather moderates enough
to suggest planting to the Minneapolis
flower fanciers, there will be anothe
rush Of orders, and when the season
ends it will undoubtedly show heav.
increase over last year. -@
The addresses of four packages O.
seeds selected at random from a has

wide demand for Minnesota fowe
seeds. The states to which these fou
