THE ODDS AT CEDAR FALLS.
[Cedar Falls Record

AS the day of election draws near,
numerous bets on the favorites are
being made in the city. One Cum
Minis admirer this morning baked at
a proposition to bet new hat to cost
50. One man, in case the governor
is the winner is to let a crop OF
whiskers grow. In case Porter is
successful the Cummins admirer is to
push peanut around the block. One OF
the prominent democrats in Normal
town bet Cummins man a Wheel
barrow ride OF four blocks that his
man would be successful. AT the
Rock Island station this morning two
travelling men, one from Cedar Rap
ids. the other from the northern part
of Iowa, made a bet. The Cedar
Rapids man bet $25 on Porter and the
other fellow bet $50 on Cummihs.
The Porter man stood ready to take
another such bet but just then the
train pulled in, both men took the
same seat in the smoker and went
their way, one to Greene. the other to
Waverly. Numerous friendly bets
are reported all over the city on va
rious candidates and as to the amount
Of the plurality of this or that candi-
date All are made with the best of
feeling.

SHAW. BLYTHE AND D0LLIvER.

Secretary Shaw coming into the state
to deliver speeches in support of the
republican ticket has, in the words of
the Burlington Hawk-Eye, Mr.. Blythe's
personal organ, taken the people into
his confidence,'s and offered the start
ling information that ]. w. Blythe, in
stead of Jonathan p. Dolliver, could
have been senator from Iowa by Gov
ernor Shaw's favor in fact" the
Hawk-Eye asserts, doubtless with full
knowledge and in good faith, "Mr.
Blythe declined the honor However
tempting it may have been, he held
to the belief that his real life work is
in other than personal political pre-
ferment. - = HE has been potent
in party management" HE
has organized victories and asked for
no personal reward"
Here is a seeming conflict of state
ment from two eminent authorities.
Mr.. Shaw said in effect that Mr.. Blythe
had never commanded in politics, that
he had never dictated the nomination
OF any man for state office, but the
Hawk-Eye seems to think that Mr..
Blythe has organized victories" and
then with rare magnanimity turned his
back upon the fruits of those victories
But Mr.. Shaw's other statement that
chad he (Blythe) desired it, he could
have been United States senator in
stead of Mr.. Deliver" is of more inn
portance, because it is endorsed by the
Hawk Eye with the further admission
that Gin fact, the honor was rendered
to Mr.. Blythe" It Is greatly regretted
that Mr.. Shaw did not go further and
state what it was about the political
attorney of the 20" railway that pre-
ferred him to statesman like Mr..
Dolliver for a senatorial appointment.
The Hawk-Eye says he had organized
victories" which might explain his
claim had the Hawk-Eye not insisted

that Mr.. Blythe had never figured

dues. but in this case they are conflict

However, Mr.. Shaw made the Dolli-
yer appointment, and we have his
word for it that he would have ap-
pointed Blythe had the latter desired it.

offered the appointment to Blythe

MUCH CRY AND FEW FROGS

Suppose we do hear little noise this
year The democrats have been so
still for several years that when we
hear them flap their wings and go
cock-a- doodle-do we think something
is wrong That's all there is to this
noise we are hearing. 1t reminds us
of the fellow who went to restaurant
to get n dish of frogs legs and when
informed that there was none in the
market he said /: Thunder! l can get
you a wagon load tomorrow. A deal
was Immediately made for five bushels,
and the big restaurant manager put
out sign-"frogs hind legs served
here tomorrow When the fellow re-
turned with the frogs he did not have
a quart pail full. saying he was terri
bly, surprised as judging from the noise
they made he thought the whole d--m
pond was full of frogs. A few boilers
and a sprinkling of democrats can
make lot of noise you know, even If
there are not very many of them.

Bronehos Are Going Fast.

The outlaw horse, for years past the
hero of broncho busting in the south

Of the past, and in ten years will be
more scarce than the fast-dying buff
falo and the old-time cowboy, accord

speciality, of collecting the widest
horses that can be procured for buck
ing contests.
"Ten years ago the outlaw was as
plentiful as jack rabbits" said Mr..
Kuykendall, "but have only been
able to get about thirty real buckers
that will put up a good fight, out of
$4,000 horses that / have looked at
during the past year.
"The outlaw horse comes from the
poorest blood that roam the ranges OF
the west" he continued. "He is a
criminal among horses, just as surely
as men vino go wrong have bad blood
in their veins. His parents are in
nearly every case mustangs, and the
stock is the same as that which roam
ed the plains of the west I'M the early

Mr.. Shaw's direct statement is likely
