in his contest for the United States
senate against John III. Gear; that he
had always been friend of the gov
ernor that he is his friend now, and
that the governor is his friend.
Upon the general question. and the
most important one before the confer
ence. indeed the only one which re-
ceived any large consideration. Mr..
Hubbard declared emphatically, Il be-
lieve in CumminSism as we all under
stand it in this district l want to
represent that sentiment. / want it
understood l receive my nomination
from the Cummins people, and that l
recognize the Cummins party is the
republican party in this state"
This distinct alignment of himself
with the Cummins sentiment of the
district will cheer and crafty host
of the Cunlmins people who may have
been led to believe that Congressman
Hubbard had become standpatter. or
inclined to stand pat, and 1t will
promptly remove all talk of opposition
to him by any of the gentlemen whose
names have been mentioned in connec-
ton with the nomination up to this
time.

BOY VICTIM OF JOKE
Willie Brown, Aged Ten, of Dubuque,
Locked UP in Empty Box Car and
Carried to Scales Mound, ILL.,, Be-
fore Discovered = Parents Nearly
Distracted.

Special to Times Republican
Dubuque, Aug. ia practical joke,
which literally was carried too far. had
for it's victim Willie Brown, of this
city. The lad, who is only 10 years of
age was locked in an empty box car
ait the Standard Lumber Company's
yards. and carried far into Illinois be-
fore being discovered by a brakeman.
Willie had brought his fathers dinner
to him at the mill and was returning
home when the abduction took place.
He was placed in an empty box car
which was standing on the Illinois
Central tracks by men who were either
playing joke upon the boy or did the
act with malicious intent. At any rate,
the first that was learned of the boys
disappearance was at supper time
when he did not come home, and his
parents began to wonder what had be-
come of him. They searched every
where, but could find no trace of him.
He had not returned since noon.
The first news of the lads where
abouts was learned when a telephone
message was received at police head
quarters from Scales Mound, Ill. The
breakman on night freight had heard
SCREAMS and cries along the road since
leaving Dubuque, but had not been
able to locate them. At Scales Mound
he found that they had come from an
empty car, the door of which was sup
posed to be open. On inspection, how
ever, all the doors We're seen to be
locked The brakeman quickly openea
one and found a sobbing and much
frightened boy about 10 years old, who
gave his name as Willie Brown. That
was all that could be learned from him,
and the brakeman telephoned the po-
lice of this city.
Chief Pickley took compassion on
the poor stranded lad and telegraphed
him transportation to Dubuque. His
parents were nearly distracted over his
disappearance and were much surpris-
ed to learn what had happened to
him

EVAPORATION TESTS.
Government Conducts Unique Expert
ments in Iowa.


iowa City, Aug. 1%.-The hydrogra-
nhic branch of the United States geo
logical survey is conducting some in-
teresting experim ents, in Iowa City, In
charge of Prof. A. G. Smith. of Iowa
University. Two evaporation pans,
three feet square and filled with wa
fer. have been set in place, one In the
river and the other in the ground near
the water. Observations are made to
determine the relative evaporation
from a pan surrounded by water annd
one with dirt around it. This is the
only experiment of the kind being
made in the United States, and prom
ises to be of decided interest.
From the data collected there can be
computed the approximate evaporation
from other bodies of water at points
where records Of temperature and the
relative humidity are available. The
information thus obtained will be used
i'm the construction OF reservoirs TOR
water supply. Where such reservoirs
receive no inflow during the summer
months, it is necessary to provide
enough water to allow for both evap.
Grafton and consumption. 1t is in
tended that the work being conducted
by Professor Smith shall cover Pc
riod of several years, so that all con-
ditions of temperature, wind ana hu-
Nudity may be included.
