his forecast as 10 Pearl River at

Northwood. July 24.-When DR.. IS. Is.
Rice, a prominent dentist at this place.
opened the drawer of his work table
this morning to get some gold filing,
he found that the office had been burg
larized, the second time within year.
About SIS in money and over 500
worth of gold and amalgam filings
We're secured by the thieves. Entrance
to the office was gained by pressing
back the beveled bar of the spring lock
with the blade of thin case knife,
which was done in a way which be-
speaks the handiworli of an old hand
at the business. The fact that other
gold which could easily have been
found by a person acquainted with. the
office was not taken, Is a further indi-
cation that the job was done by OUT
of-town talent.
The other time DIR. Rice's office was
robbed was during his dinner hour one
day last fall. about $40 in change was
taken that time. Sheriff C. A. Lee de-
clines to state whether or not he has
any reason to suspicion any particular
parties. Work on the case is made
more difficult by reason of the fact
that the job might have been pulled off
Saturday night, in which case the per-
petrators have had ample time to
make their escape.

providing themselves with the neces-
sary temporary officers and commit
tees to proceed to form the permanent
organization. As an incident to this
end they alone can pass on the elig-
bility of those seeking admission as
delegates whose right to seats are con-
tested. 1t follows, also, that there can
be no assembly of delegates in dis
trict caucuses until the general caucus
of convention has decided who the
lawful delegates really are, also thai
the convention has the right at all
stages of the proceedings to select its

Hon. A. j. Baker. of Appanoose
county, wrote:
when the campaign committee has
determined upon the time and place
of holding the state convention ana

members or officers in the organiza-

of the 6ffiteis of the convention, tenn
g.,
that as an organization the committee
is not member of the convention, nor
are it's officers members of the con-
vention by reason of the fact that they
are such officers. That the conven-
ton when assembled has the sole
right to determine what officers it will
have, and to nominate and elect them
in the manner it may choose. is axio-
matte, as is also the fact that the con-
vention is the sole judge of the cleo
ton and qualification of It's members.
"On the assembling of the convention
it has become a custom for the chair
man of the campaign committee to call
it to order and announce or read the
call; and then ask who they will have
for their temporary chairman, and If
a nomination is made, put the ques-
ton to the convention. This. however,
is not a matter of right of the COM
mittee or chairman. but of courtesy
and sufferance on the part of the con-
vention. Sometimes the chairman sug-
gests the name of some prominent re-
publican for temporary chairman, as
having been recommended by the COM
mittee. 1t has never been claimed
however that a committee could name
and seat a temporary chairman for the
convention as matter of right. In
stances have occurred in state conven-
tons of which I have been member
when the recommendation so made
was rejected by the convention and the
body proceeded to nominate and ele 1t

young man was saved. Mr.. Hamilton

Retail Dealers Organizations
Likely to Be Combined in
This State
HOLD MERCHANT cHAuTAuouA
Missouri Plan That Has Resulted in
Much Good in That State May be
Planned for Iowa Merchants at the
Conference at Dos Moines August 2
General Iowa News.

Des Moines, July pa federatio.
of all the trade organizations of the
state to effect which a conference is
to be held in the Commercial club hal
on Aug. 2, seems assured. ira b
Thomas, secretary of the Retail Mer-
chants Association, who is promoting
the plan, said yesterday he received
assurances from all but one of the
state that representatives would be
sent to the conference.
Not alone are the retail organiza-
tons sending delegates, but likewise
the associations OF wholesale men. The
wholesale grocers are to be represent
ed as are also the retail implement
dealers, hardware dealers, state jew
elers, state opticians, merchants as
ISOLATION, and several other associa-
lions. In most instances the associa-
tons will be represented by their Of
ficers. The fact that the date is i'm.
mediately following the state republi-
can convention assures lower railroad
rates.
Matters of legislation in which both
the wholesalers and the retail dealers
are interested, the meeting of catalog
house competition, the development OF
trade methods, these are among the vi
tai questions which it is hoped the
new organization will have wide infiu-
ence in bringing to a successful ac-
complishment.
Merchant chautauquas.
Another idea which Mr.. Thomas is
promoting and which he hopes to carry
out next year is the holding of chau-
tauqua for merchants. This has been
done successfully in Missouri. 1t was
at one of these gatherings that the dis
tinguished Governor Folk argued
against the catalog house method Of Sc
curing merchandise, taking the position
that it was seriously detrimental to the
business interests of the entire country,
since it took out Of the home COM
munity the money which ought to go
to build up that. community and de-
preciated the business of all.
If this chautauqua plan is carried out
programs lasting one entire week will
be given
The chautauqua will be held at some
outing place. which can be convenient
ly reached by certain district. Lead
ing speakers on commercial questions
or some phases of the commercial life
Will be secured.
The catalog house question is COM
ing to be more and more the question
which both the wholesalers and the re-
tailers are studying. The sentiment
against the catalog houses appears to
be growing stronger thruout the coun-
try, not alone with the retailers but
with the wholesalers and jobbers as
we'll Many wholesalers and jobbers
now refuse to sell to catalog houses, ?
said Mr.. Thomas yesterday. Il have
noticed in some of their advertisements
they even advertise this fact"
One Chicago mail order firm boasts
that 1T has $4,000 regular customers in
Iowa to whom it sells millions of dol
lars worth of merchandise each year.

HERO At LAKE okoBoJI.
Attorney Ely, Of Davenport, Candidate
for Carneqie Medal,

for Carnegie Medal.
okoboji, Ia, July 24.-By the daring
rescue of L. o. Shaffer, a prominent
Altoona banker Attorney N. D. Ely
of Davenport, is the hero of Lake
Okoboji at present and it is likely his
name will be entered for Carnegie
medal.
Mr.. Ely was standing ON the beach
with his wife watching the bathers,
mostly women, when he noticed that
there was a man struggling at the
outskirts of the group of bathers. He
had gotten beyond his depth and was
either unable to swim OF was taken
with cramps. Those on the beach
watched him helplessly when Ely
jerked off his coat and swan to the
drowning man, grabbing him as he was
going down the last time.
The rescued man is president OF the
Citizens bank at Altoona and is a
prominent Mason.
