THOSE WHO HELP A TOWN.

If you have made up your mind to
live in a town, then stand up for it !;
and if you know positively no good,
then silence is golden. Do ell you can
to help along every man who is engaged
in legitimate business Do not send
away for everything nice you want and
still expect the home men to keep a
stock to suit the whims of one or two
customers. The success of your fellow
townsmen will be your success. No
man liveth to himself, and no man does
business independently of his fellow
business men. Take your county paper.
Do not imagine the big dailies fill up
all this space, There are many little
crevices of a good cheer, social sum
shine, personal mention, in the home
paper that the big dailies do not print.
Then, do not abuse your neighbor. The
main difference in the number of his
faults and your own is, that you see
through a magnifying glass as critic
The i'll omened, the croaker, can do
more harm in minute than two good
citizens can repair in month.-Ex.

ROBBERY.

/ One night last week two strangers
applied for nights lodging at Mr.. D,
F. Green's boarding house on Whit
lock avenue. The next morning they
breakfasted late, paid their bill and
went back to their room to get their
effects, the other men boarders having
left the house and gone to their work.
On the return of the other boarders
they discovered that their franks had
been entered by means of false keys
and various articles, such as pistols,
jewelry. wearing apparel, ETC., stolen
therefrom. The robbery was supposed
to have been committed by the two
strangers. Tho police of neighboring
towns were notified but no arrests have
been made so far.

THE COST OF LIVING.

Dun's Agency figures to-day that the
per capita cost of living in this country
has advanced to $10S.17. That is an
increase of about two dollars over last
year, which means something like $17O,-
100000 to the American people. Tbs
prices OF commodities, according TO the
same authority, are higher than they
have been since 1884.

fine contingent here, and the men from
the counties of the Second district are
a fine body of men. There is much
talk of platform and not a great deal
in regard to candidates. The desire
seems to be to put up a platform that
will unite the party and that will en-
able the local leaders to build up bet
ter organization here and there in the
state. so that when the next campaign
comes on-the same being the presl-
Dental campaign-Iowa democrats
will be in position to act unltedly.
Then there is also a good deal or talk
about the congressional and legislative
situations, indicating that the leaders
understand that in this direction lies
their greatest hope.
The convention will be held in the
auditorium at the chautauqua grounds
near the city, and this has been ar
ranged so that everyone who desires to

All the Indications Today Are
That the Effort Has Been
Complete Failure
LIBERALS FEAR sLooDsHED
While Opposed to the Governments
Policy They Shrink From Precipitat-
ing observation-disclosures Are Also
In Many Gases Lukewarm and Fear
Loss of Positions.

st. Petersburg, Aug. 6.-Unless the
few hours entirely change, the sltua-
ton of a general strike promises to
prove a complete failure. Altho the
liberals are strongly opposed to the
course of the government, they shrink
from precipitating into a revolution
and the horrors of e. civil war, in which
the country would be plunged. if the
plans of the proletariat leaders were
successful.
Not only is the sympathy of the in
telligent public lacking, but in st.
Petersburg the various labor organiza-
tions find MANY followers luke warm.
and even in open rebellion against
their orders.
When the central committee OF the
printers union adjourned last night,
the result that four newspapers APP
peared this morning. The central COM
mittee of the railroad mems union
finds so many men either opposed 10
the strike or afraid to risk the loss Of
their position, with Imprisonment in
the bargain, that it has not yet, so TAR
as known, issued formal order TO
strike. If the train service is not
brought to a standstill, collapse OF
the strike movement is inevitable.
The workmens council. which ap-
parently is much weaker body than
similar council which managed the
strike of last fall, in fear of failure,
has already practically determined to
resort to violence in order to stop the
traffic on railroads, if the men refuse
to Join in the movement. The authori-
ties are using all the means at their
disposal to block the revolutionary
moves in every direction, and appear
convinced that the strike leaders CAM
not gather sufficient headway to en-
danger the life Of the state. Indeed,
they believe that nothing more than
local strikes, which will soon degener-
ate into an old story of crime and ter
rorists, will result.
Late this afternoon it was evident
that the government had practically
succeeded in crushing the organization
Of strike leaders here. The central
committee of the social democrats were
captured and placed in prison The
greatest confusion prevails in the rev.
olutionary camp. The hope of the rev.
olutionists is now centered in Moscow.

FlEND ASSAULTS GIRL
Eighteen Year.old Augusta covaIt, of
Crescent, Attacked While Going for
a Drink Of Water-screams Of Victim
Brighten AssaiIant Away - Whole
Police Force at Council Bluffs in

Special to Times Republican.
Crescent la, Aug. 6.-At midnight
last night, when Miss Augusta Covalt
stepped from the house to the we'll to
get drink of water, she was seized
by a man who had evidently been in
hiding near the house and an attempt
was made to assault her.
Miss Covalt screamed and struggled
with her assailant finally managing
to free herself from his grasp, but
not until her clothing had been en-
tirely torn from her body. Her cries
brought her father from the house and
the fellow escaped in the darkness.
The family had been entertaining
friends and were preparing to retire
when Miss Covalt left the house. She
was not seriously injured, but is suf-
fering severely from the fright and
nervous shock She was able to give
only general description of the fell
low whom she says was tall and dressed
in dark clothing.
The town was aroused and an effort
was at once begun to overtake and
capture the fiend, which is being kept
up, with little prospect Of success. The
Covalt home is near railroad track
and the chances of escape are good.
Miss Covalt is eighteen years of age.
Early this morning two suspects
were encountered and several shots
were exchanged. The entire police
force of Council Bluffs is working on
the case

Waterloo, Aug. 6.-The city of Wa

Gratis in it today than ever before in
its history. The city is full of demo-
Gratis. They are fairly representative
of the 225,000 democrats who showed
their colors at the last election day in
Iowa. They are as enthusiastic as if
they had a party which could carry
more than one county in Iowa. They
are as determined as if the fate Of the
republic rested with them. They have
their differences and their quarrels =
evidences of "intellectual activity" as
Jerry Simpson used to say-but on the
whole the democrats are more harmon
ious and more nearly united this year
than they have been in Iowa for
number of years. There are many
strong and active men here to attend
the convention. The delegations from
the southern and eastern parts of the
state are especially conspicu-

the idol of the democracy of the Sec
ond congressional district, and the
only Iowa democrat to hold a seat in
congress in years, is not a candidate
for the nomination for governor, and,
moreover, he will not be one. II the
honor is formally proffered. he feels
he must decline. On the eve of the
state convention, he formally declared
that the above noted state of facts ex-
ist. In an interview here just before
starting for Waterloo he said:
II am not a candidate for the guber-
material office. 1 will not accept the
nomination if it is rendered"

party, however, as he averred: Il
think there is a bright prospect for
the success of democracy in Iowa this
year. 1t was never brighter.
Il believe we can elect democratic

of whom would make a strong candi-
date and strong governor"
The Iowa City congressman-jurist
is not unappreciative of the honor,
however even tho he does not see

cations to the democrats of Iowa for

nomination. Nevertheless, l am 50
situated, from business standpoint.
that to enter into the campaign would
involve too great sacrifices-not only
of my own interests, but Of those Of
others that have been confided to my
care"
Judge Wade anticipates a redhot
fight, and he evidently believes that
certain republicans will come to the
aid of his party's candidate. for he
said:
81 expect to see one Of the liveliest
campaigns the state has ever had,
since the time of Governor Boies' sue
cessful candidacy. l look to see a
solid, united democracy, opposed to
the broken forces of the opposition.

Of the republicans to establish har-
mony. The wounds inflicted during
the past few months have been too
deep to be so readily healed"
