matter submitted in that township to
q primary. Then we took UP the prim-
AIRY system and have followed it ever
since with great success. 1t has prov
ed eminently satisfactory. l firmly be-
lieve that if the question of a state
wide primary was submitted to a vote
in my county about nine-tenths of the
voters would be for it, And that is
about the proportion of republicans to
democrats in the county,"
T.. w. Weeks, of Guthrie county, has
had similar experiences 1--WE have
had the primary in our county for
twenty years or more" he said, land
we wouldn't consent to go back to the
Old system under any circumstances.
We not only vote for county officers
and nominate on plurality but we
vote for delegates to conventions.
There is no question about it being the
right way to make nominations. l am
for the bill because l am republican,
and it is a republican way of doing
things. 1t makes me mad when men
undertake to say l ought to be for or
against this or that measure because
some other man is. This is good re-
publican doctrine and | am for it as
republican and don't care anything
about factions or facttonalism."
The plan is to have the primary bill
thrashed out in the senate first. The
elections committee has just made a
beginning. Hearings will be had soon,
and then forces that are against the
bill will begin to show themselves. 1t
will be given the fullest possible dis
cuSSion.

HAS THREE WIVES
A Mormon Who Believes in Lives UP
to His Church Greed Coming to Iowa
to Visit Friends-TaIks Interestingly
of His Plural Wives,
Special to Times-Republican.

Special to Tines Republican.
st. Joseph, Mo, Jan. 26.-Jonathan
Smith, of Salt Lake City, was at the
Union passenger station yesterday on
his way to Bedford, Iowa, to visit with
relatives. He came from Quindaro,
kas., where he made an extended visit.
He was accompanied by his two wives
and ten children and vouschafed the
information that another wife and
three children had remained at home.
Mr.. Smith did not consider it at all
unlucky that he had thirteen children.
Smith is not a relative of Joseph
Smith or any of the Mormon elders.
He is just plain, common Smith, de-
spite which handicap he has accumu-
lated enough of this worlds goods to
support three wives and thirteen chill
dren comfortably.
The Mormon says he would have
another wife or two but for the fact
that plural marriages are not now all
loWeu. lie was married to all of his
wives before the church promulgated
the edict.
Mother to All.
Smith looked prosperous, but his
wives were dressed in long, loose
dresses with buttons running from the
neck nearly to the hem of the skirt
The children We're we'll dressed and
we'll behaved An observer could not
tell Which was the mother of the in
dividual children, for both of the wo-
men kept them we'll in check and did
not confine their admonitions to any
one.
Mormon life is the life for me-"
said Smith. Il was poor boy, but
my wives helped me and | would not
De as we'll off as ! am had it had not
oeen for their assistance. Each one
has a separate establishment. No.
We couldn't live together. They are
only human and ! can't stand any

equally between them and there is no
Kick coming. 1t may seem queer to
you, but if you had been brought I'D a
Mormon, the plural marriage would
ook natural enough. I am glad l am

National Guard, of this city, the first
of the rifles that are to be issued to
the different companies for indoor
practice shooting, and a squad of the

The rifle is the same model as those
regularly used by the guardsmen, with
the exception that it is fitted with a
barrel of 22-calibre size made for pur-
pose of indoor practice. The gun is so
arranged that it will be of the same
weight as the old style and will not
throw the men out of practice, as the
recoil and action is exactly the same
Seven thousand rounds of cartridges
were also received by the local com
pany, enough to supply them for some
time. and it is the intention of the
to issue them from time to
time. The guardsmen are highly

LEMARS In DANGER
People Are Without Drinking Water,
and Town Is at the Mercy of Flames,
Should They Break Out - Water
Pipes Filled With Peculiar Moss,
Which Clogs Them Up and Poisons
Water,
pecial to Times-Republican.

Special to Times Republican.
LeMars, JAN ga most peculiar
case whereby all the drinking water
of the city is condemned, has found to
exist here. All the water pipes of the
system are filled with a peculiar moss
which grows and is embedded in the
iron rust of the pipes. The moss has
become so thick that the water has
been prevented from running through
them. The city officials are at a loss
to know what to do in the matter. The
people of the city are without drinking
water and the town is at the mercy Of
the fire elements. The moss has been
growing long enough to form bed in
the iron rust and it is very difficult to
dislodge IT Is said that two large eX-
ira force pumps will have to be in
stalled before any relief will be had.
With sufficient force the moss may be
forced out, or else torn up so that
flushing will dislodge it.
