special TO rimes-Renuhllcan.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, Sept. 1.-THE first of
the district meetings held under the
auspices of the republican state CEN
trail committee proved highly satisfac-
tory. Chairman Woods and Mr.. Con-
verse went down into the Sixth and
Eighth districts for these meetings 1t
was from this part of the state that
reports came thru democratic sources
to the effect that republicans are all
broke up and that there was no har-
mony between them. Democrats were
ponting' gleefully to these districts as
evidence that they were gaining ground
rapidly and have cause for success
And so Chairman Woods went down
to Oskaloosa and to Creston. JIe re-
ports that both meetings were splendid
ones, that representative republicans
from all parts of the two districts
were present, that standpatters and
progresSives came together in harmony
and for the purpose of promoting party
good and that the sole spirit which
animated them was that of how best
to support the party of achievement in
Iowa this year. The Oskaloosa meet
ing was declared to be the best meet
ing of the kind ever held in that dis
trict. The Creston meeting was well
nigh as good. Many newspaper men
were present. They came not to quar-
rel over petty details, but to inquire
as to how best to get before their
leaders that which will best serve to
make the republican party strong in
Iowa. They recognized that the state
convention has been held and that this
is not the time to thresh out old straw
again. The result OF the two meetings
is that in the two districts where the
democrats and their helpers have been
counting most on, republican disaffAc-
ton will give good account of them
selves in November.
Chairman Woods returned to his
headquarters this morning from Cres-
ton. He was highly pleased with his
first meetings. Tomorrow he goes to
Burlington, then to Davenport and
next week to New Hampton and Wat
er]oo.
These conferences are wide open.
There is nothing secret about them.
Chairman Woods believes that the re-
publican party can do its best work
in the, open. All men who believe in
republican principles and are willing
to add their influence to the republican
party and ticket are welcomed to these
meetings. The fact that a man is
Roosevelt Democrat or that he at
one time voted for Cleveland will not
bar him out. The fight this year will
be as ever in the past, to gain recruits
for the republican party, and the way
to gain recruits is to make men feel
welcome in the party.

Hia Preparations Being Made at Du.

Special to Tirnes-Repuhltcan.
Dubuque, Sept. 12.-Local lodges OF
the /. o. O. F. are making great prep
arations for the grand lodge meeting
of the order, which is to be held here,
beginning October 16. The railroad
committee has succeeded in getting the
railroads leading into Dubuque to give
a rae of one fare plus so cents from
all points in Iowa. 1t is expected the
attendance will be very large, not only
from Iowa, but that many visitors Will
be present from Wisconsin and Illinois.
Wednesday, the 10th, has been de-.
cided upon as the big day of the con-
vention, and as excursions will be run
on that day, it is confidently expected
the crowd will run up into the thou-
SANDS. The Rebekahs will also hold
thei: annual convention and they are
expected to add to the numbers.
The parade will be the leading fea.
ture of the afternoon and will make a
detour of the principal streets OF the
down. town section. There will be
thirty-five carriages, in which will be
seated the officers of the Odd Fellows
and Rebekahs, while military staff
will be on horseback. Several bands
will be in attendance, SO the occasion
will be gala one.
The parade will form at Temple Hall
and proceed to one of the city parks.
where, If the weather is pleasant, the
Decoration of Chivalry, the principal
feature of the afternoon, will be given.
If the weather is unpleasant the dec
Grafton Will be given in the hall.
After the decoration has been given
the procession will return to the start
ing place, when the officers will re-
main in their carriages to be driven
about the city, the principal points Of
interest being pointed out.
The report of the board of trustees
of the Odd Fellows Home will not be
quite as 1T was hoped at the lastsgrand
lodge. The building will not be COM
pleted in detail, tho the school building,
which is of considerable size, is prac-
tically finished now. A visit of the
grand master few days ago has put a
little ginger into the contractors who
are to furnish steel for the finishing o.
the roof. 1t has not yet arrived, but is
expected soon. 1t will necessitate some
delay in the completion of the building,
however, which is very provoking to
the trustees as they hoped to have the
dedication this fall.
