'1O INSTALL SIGNALS
Northwestern Decides to Prac-
tically Complete the System
Across the State
MEANS A BIG EXPENDITURE
First Intention Was to Equip Only the
Eastern and Western Portions of the
Track, But Decision Has Been
Reached to Install system' Practically
Across Iowa.
Special to Times Republican.


Boone, July 12.-,It was announced
some time ago that the Chicago &
Northwestern Railroad Company had
taken steps in the direction of putting
in the Hall block signals from Clinton
to Cedar Rapids on the east, end of the
Iowa division, and from Logan TO
Council Bluffs on the west end of the
division during the present year. 1t
was then known to be the settled policy
of the company to install the signals
all the way across Iowa. but it was not
expected that anything would be done
this year beyond portions OF the line
above noted. The portion Of the line
between here and Boone 1T was thought
would be left for another year, as the
expense of installation is very large.
1t now develops that steps have been
taken by the officials of the road to
extend the signals from this city to
Boone during the present year, il it Is
possible to get the materials with
which to do 1t, at an expense approx
mating a quarter of a million dollars.
LIN sl6ldi Cll6lilccI VI NlAc lOdu tlGS
been here, and In company with Divis-
ion Superintendent w. II. Whalen and
Assistant Superintendent Doyle, has
been over the line between this city
and Boone and have fixed the loca-
tons for the block stations These
stations, as has been before stated,
vary in their distance apart according
to the grade. In places where the
progress of freights is slew the sta
tions are closer together. so that tho
trains may move nearer ITO each other,
while in other places where the road
is level and trains can move more rap
idly, the stations are further apart.
This extension means much to the
facility with which che heavy traffic Of
the division can bp handled. It IL a
hard task to keep THE business OF the
division moving so that there are no
large delays, and while that is already
being accomplished In marked degree
of success an even greater amount can
be handled with much less difficulty
than now. The signals will not he put
in between Boone and Logan this year.

REMoRsE, DRIVES TO DEATH.
Woman's Cruelty to Girl Believed +
Have PROMPTED Suicide.

Toledo, o., July 12,-Officlals are
trying to discover whether remorse or
guilty conscience caused the death OF
Kate Winover by suicide Tuesday night
in almost the same spot in the lManmee
as that chosen by Clara Strayer, aged
II, for whose death the Winover wom-
an was blamed by the girls father,
Lincoln Strayer
Brooding, it is alleged. over the mis-
treatment she had received at the hands
Of Katie Wtnoyer, the fathers house
keeper Clara rather than make trouble
for her father committed suicide in the
Maumee Sunday night. She left a note
telling her father she was going to her
mother
Until Tuesday that was the accepted
story. But Tuesday afternoon another
phase of the case presented itself and
aroused suspicious that the suicide the
DRY might not be right.
Second Note is Found.
The feature was the discovery OF
second note purporting to have come
from the girl in which she said over the
same signature as the first note,
Clara" that she wanted to say good
by and that she had gone because she
was i'll treated by Katie.
The mystery was that the notes were
written in entirely different hands. Ex-
perts say that the two notes could not
have been written by the same per-
son and an examination will likely
be made to discover who the author
of the note was which was not written
by the young girl.
Lincoln Strayer, the girls father is
a wealthy cattle dealer living near
Grand Rapids, which is short dis
lance up the river from Toledo. When
his girl Clara was a nursing infant its
mother died.
Housekeeper is Installed.
Three years later Katie Winover was
installed as housekeeper in the Strayer
home According to stories afloat from
the time Clara was old enough to go
to school she was Ill treated by the
woman when her father was away. For
one case of Ill treatment she was dis
charged but soon returned to work.
This rather lends color to some of the
stories ahoat, altho the father swears
that had he known of the girls abuse
he would have discharged the Winover
woman.
Whether or not the suspicion of muir
der or possible foul play can ever be
developed into a reality is doubtful now
from the fact that the one who knew
most about the case, Katie Winover, is
herself q suicide

JETT TURNS TO FEuDIsrs.
Swears He Killed Marcum to Settle
Old Grudue.

Beattyville, KY, July 12.--Curtis Jett
testified in the trial of former Judge
Hargis and former Sheriff Callahan on
a charge of numbering Lawyer Marcum
that he killed Marcum. Jett took all
the blame on himself and said he killed
Marcum because Marcum was his enc
my. Jett admitted that the pistol with
which the murder was committed was
given him by Seldom Hargis, brother
of Judge Hargis, but that he killed
Marcum of his own volition.
''Marcum had prosecuted me In sew
eral cases and was my bitter enemy.
am the man who killed him." said Jett.
His story Of the assassination TALES
with the description by B. j. Evan.
Jett said he had not conferred with
Write in regard to the Killing. The
defendants helped to defend him in his
previous trial. He did not know, but
thought they had paid his attorneys
fees.
Loses His Memory.
He suddenly lost his memory at the
most crucial moments and could tell
nothing Of his or Whites actions pre-
ceding or following the murder. Jett
did not remember seeing White in the
court house at all, and, as far as he
is concerned, White is perfectly in
nocent.
That Jett has had soma marvellous
change of heart is apparent The rea-
son may be found in statement of
Commonwealth's Attorney Adams, who
said Jet had been drinking, and that
another attempt will be made tomorrow
to get him to repeat his confession.
Refuses to Testify.
"Tom' White followed Jet on the
stand and asked Attorney Byrd to ex
cuse him, as he did not want to an
swer any questions. He was asked If
he was in Jackson the day Marcum
was killed, but declined to answer.
White even refused to answer after be-
ing told to by the court. Judge Dor
sey ordered the witness to Jail.
w. B. Johnson said White told him
lust a few weeks before N[arcum was
killed that Hargis wanted him to do
the fighting for him.
Given 5000 to Leave.
"Mose" Feltnar testified that after
the filing Of suit for damages by Mrs.
Marcum against Hargis, Callahan and
others, Hargis, Callahan and French
induced him to go to Ohio and remain
until after the trial. Attorney Jouett
introduced check for 5000 which Felt
ner declares was given to him to de-
fray expenses.
Asbury Spicer testified that he was
approached by Jim Hargis, and ask
ed to kill Marcllm. Hargis told Spicer
to get any aid necessary to assist him
and he would protect their. The wit
ness refused.
Attorney w. A. Young. of the de-
Tense, said that Curtis Jett had said
to him that he would swear that his
recent confession was fake if the
defendants would give him $1,000.

county convention met here yesterday
and instructed solid delegation for

standpatters were in control of the or
ganization, the officers and commit
tees being selected without exception
from their ranks. No contests We're
brought by either side before the Gre
dentials committee, full delegations be-
ing reported from every precinct. The
Culnmins men, true to their promises,
did not contest the fifteen delegates
from Knoxville township selected last
Saturday. This precinct held the ball
ance of power and was carried by Per-
kins by majority of only two votes
in the caucus.
The first clash came with the report
of the committee on resolutions, which
was as follows.
Resolved, First-That we reaffirm
our allegiance to the principles of the
republican party as set forth in the
last national republican platform.
"Second-That we indorse in terms
Of warmest praise the work of our
president, Theodore Roosevelt, in be-
half of the American people.

of our representatives, in congress. and
the members of the cabinet, and COM
mend them for their able support of
the president and his policies, and their
fai.hfulness to the trust reposed IN
them.
"Fourth-That we especially indorse
our representative in congress from
the Seventh congressional district,
Hon. j. A. T. Hull and pledge the in
f1uence Of our delegates to his unani-
nous denomination.
"Fifth-That we instruct our six
teen delegates to the state convention
to use all honorable means for the
governor of Iowa; and that the dele
gates present at the state convention
are authorized and instructed to cast
the full vote Of the delegation in all
matters that come before the conven-
ton"
cumnnins Men Object.
The Cummins men, in series of
speeches, strongly objected to the fifth
clause. instructing for Perkins. Hon.
l.. n. Hays attempted to amend by di-
viding the delegation, ten for Perkins
and six for Cunlmins. A stormy Sc
sion followed, in which the chairman
lost control Of the convention and gem
eraI pandemonilm reigned. Things
were soon quieted, however, and in
roll call on a test vote the amendment
was lost SO to SO The original resolu-
lions instrucing for Perkins, were then
adopted
The delegates to the Seventh con-
gressional convention were also select
ed and instructed for j. A T. Hull
