ty-seven. The compilation of the fig-a
lures up to date is: Perkins 687, Cum
minis 659, Rathbun and anti-Cumnins
80. Number of delegates to be chosen
after today 1863.
AS Mr.P Perkins now leads Mr.. Cummins
by twenty-seven votes and Rathbun
and anti-Cummins delegates number
ninety, Mr.. Cummins is now in the
minority by III votes, having already
suffered a loss of 1857, in making
comparisons with his last gubernator-
lal contest. In the East Waterloo con-
test last night, where contest has al
ready been filed, four more votes were
cast than the combined Roosevelt and
Parker vote. The vote in the east Wa
terloo caucus last night was 729 more
than cast for Roosevelt, and there are
e1ghty-three more ballots in the box
than the names the voters recorded.
Richards on the Waterloo Fight.
Waterloo, June 11-(Special) -Po-
l1tlcal larceny is the most appropriate
term that can be applied to the manner
In which the Cummins flying squadron
OF state house officials carried East
Waterloo for the governor at Fridays
primary. A total of 2,190 votes
were cast at the primary which is four
more than the combined republican
and democratic presidential vote in
1904, and 529 greater than the Roose-
welt vote. Voters were brought from
the country and neighboring towns by
the wagon load and marched up to the
polls for Cummins, not only this, but
scores of these illegal voters repeated
the performance as fast as they could
safely return to the polls. 1t was the
most disgraceful primary in the his
tory of the state. Not only were fully
500 fraudulent ballots cast but SO more
tickets were found in the ballot box
than the clerks had record of voting.
The clerks signed an affidavit and
names.
The Perkins-Richards people have
contested the primary on the ground
OF these frauds and the county con-
vention will pass on the contest this
afternoon. Outside of East Waterloo
Perkins has sixty-three delegates and
Cummins forty-four. The notice Of
contest filed by the Perkins Richards
delegation in East Waterloo alleges
that several men on the Cummins dele
cation are not republicans; that they
were not selected by a majority Of
the republican voters The apparent
majority being brought about by the
votes of democrats, socialists, illegal
voters and votes cast by non.residents;
that the ballot box contained more bal
lots than the clerk records showed
were cast; that the credentials of the
delegates were prepared and signed
before the full record of the caucus
was completed and that the credentials
were prepared by Alfred Longley, who
was not Judge of the caucus, at the
direction of e. D. Chassell Of LeMars,
a nonresident, and w. Weaver of Iowa

BURIAL OF RUSH STARR.
Services at keosauqua Largely At
tended

Keosauqua, June s.--The funeral OF
Rush Clark Starr took place On yes
yterday afternoon at the Christian
church of this place conducted by the
pastor, Elder Wheeler, assisted by
Rev. Perkins of the Congregational
church. The attendance was large.
The church was crowded to its ut
most, and many were denied admit
lance.
The body was taken to the church
at l p. m. The relatives came at 2
p. m, at which time the services be-
gan. During the hour preceding the
services, the casket was opened and
the friends of the family were per-
mitted to view the remains. The line
was almost continuous during this
time, the many friends of this manly
little boy desiring to pay their respects
to his memory and to express their
sympathy for the father and mother.
The casket was literally buried in a
bank Of flowers and roses. His class
in high school attended the services in
a body, headed by his teacher, Miss
Meredith. They sent beautiful bou-
quet of roses, which was given a
conspicuous place among the many
floral designs.
The interment was made in the Eel
lows cemetery. The boy was a grand
son of Stephen D. Fellows, one of Keo-
sauqua's old and highly respected citi-
zens.
This death was shock to the en-
tire community. The sympathy of
every neighbor is for Mr.. and Mrs.
Starr.

MAP SHOWS ROUTE.
Interurban Railway Journal Repro
duces Interesting Article.

A map representing the lines of the
proposed Otturnwa & Southeastern
Iowa Interurban railroad, in which is
shown the several towns touched by
the road from this city to Des Moines.
via Oskaloosa, Abba and Indianola, is
contained in the June issue of the In
terurban Railway Journal. The map is
made by Jeup & Moore, engineers,
who have been over the proposed line.
The. map shows that the line runs
from Ottumwa to Chillicothe and Ed.
dyville. At this point, it branches Oft
to Given and Oskaloosa. Proceeding
west the main line goes to Buxton,
where another branch is made to con-
meet with Abba. The principal route
proceeds to Everist, Attica, Knoxville,
Sandyville, Ackworth, Indianola and
Des Monies.
Accompanying the map is the fol-
lowing explanatory article:
"The accompanying map represents
the lines of the Ottumwa and South
eastern Iowa Interurban railroad--one
of the most important interurban sys-
TENS now being projected in the state
of Iowa. The main line extends from
Ottumwa, Iowa, the county seat Of
Wapello county, to Des Moines, the
state capital, distance Of eighty-five
miles. while the two branches--the Ed.
dyville-Oskaloos and Buxton-Albia
lines are eleven and ten miles respec-
lively, making the combined length Of
the different roads 106 miles.
"The roads when completed will
traverse one of the richest agricultural
and mining sections of that state. The
road will tap six prominent county
seats, including Des Moines, besides
many mining towns along the route,
which have no railway facilities what
ever.
The territory served by the road is
one well adapted for the profitable op-
Grafton of an interurban line. The
towns and cities are growing rapidly,
and the fact that Ottumwa is becoming
the distributing point for the south
eastern section Of Iowa adds materially
to the Importance of the line as an out
let to this rich section Of the country.
"It is understood that arrangements
for financing the road are completed
and that the active construction work
will start in a very short time.
"The officers Of the road are Charles
q. Cofin, indianapolis, Ind, president;
Senator Lewis v. Ulrey, Fort Wayne,
Ind, vice president and general mana
ger, and Charles A. Walsh of Ottumwa,
secretary and treasurer"

Christian Socialism.
ut has been said of late that the
toiling classes, in their long struggle
for human rights, are turning away
from the Christian religion, though not
from Christ. If this be true, then it
must have been counterfeit religion
with which the toilers came in contact,
Or they have viewed 1t through dis
torted media. Self-styled Christians
have often been false to the spirit Of
Christ and have used religion as a
cloak. This would be a bad reason for
rejecting either Him DIR His religion.
The experiment has always proved dis
astrous. Socialism without Christ has
always proved itself folly and tyranny
Christian socialism can alone be the
safety Of the future, perfectly recon

OF humanity, love of the true good, and
beautiful, which is the Christian relig-
ion.
Graduates, consecrate yourselves to
this sublime vocation. Consecrate
yourselves to the good of humanity;
for If humanity is worthy of the love of
God or the love Of Christ, it Is worthy
Of your love.
"Consecrate yourselves to truth and
to duty. and to Him who is the Light

The convention was called to order by
County Chairman A. D. Jordan. Be-
fore the call was read w. G. Ball, a

motion was out of order as the call
had not been read.
After the reading of the call W. G..
Ball was nominated for chairman Of
the convention by the Cummins peo
pie. The Perkins men nominated E.
d. Y. Culbertson. The voting was by
precincts and as soon as it became evil

TRYING OUT B0ATP
FOR INTERCLUB REGATTA

The sailboat races Of the Minnetonks Boat
club for tomorrow afternoon and the following
Saturday will probably be the most exciting Of
the year. The selection Of the boats that are
to compete with the White Bear boats at the
annual regatta between the Minnetonka Boat
club and the White Bear Yacht club will de-
pend ]atgely the performances of the boats
In these two races, and perhaps a trial race or
two that will be pulled of during the week.
yet the races have been hardly more than drift
Ing matches. Tho winds have not blown stead
lily, but In puffs and squalls. The fact that
one boat happened to be in the path Of these
spasms does not indicate that she is better
than her competitor. The Judges have not suf-
fcient reasons yet for preferring any one boat
in either class.
In the A class 1t looks as IL either the Delta
or the Minuetonka would be selected. In the
class the contest has practically sinmered
down to the Pathfinder and the Terrier The
Terrier has won every regular club race that Il
has entered SO far. But in trial race held
early in the week the Pathfinder beat the Ter
rier by a goad margin. Albert yandever, who
Is an experienced sailor, skipped the Path

tic boats way to the rear. He says that he
will force the Judges boat to make a special

On account of the rowing regatta the sailboat
