banner bearing the, inscription, The
Russian revolutionary Party several
thousand men and women of Russian
origin gathered last night to listen to
Nicholas Tchaykowsky, Russian revo-

Letters from several prominent per
sons were read, among them one from
Mark Twain, which read:
sian revolution, of course. 1t goes with
out saying. I hope it will succeed, and
now that I have talked with you, l
take heart and believe it will. Govern
ment by falsifed promises, by lies, by
for the acknowledgements of single fam
ily of drones and its idle vicious kin
has been borne quietly long enough in
Russia, I should think, and it is to be
hoped that the reused nation now ris-
ing in it's strength will presently. put
an end to. it and set up a republic in
its place. Some of us, even whitehead
ed, may live to see the blessed day
when cars and grand dukes will be as
scarce there as I trust they are in

in this direction. The anthracite de-

TO PROTEST VOTE !.
IN POLK COUNTY
CLAIM is RAISED THAT RIGHTS
HAVE BEEN IGNORED.
GOV. cUMMINs MAY LOSE IT.
Other Candidates Who Carried the
Primaries Claim Convention Ex.
ceeded Its Authority-An
Important Issue.

Des Moines, Ia, July Tit is reli-
ably reported today that Hon. Chas.
Mackenzie of this city, who is a can
didate for attorney general, and who
received four thousand majority of the
primary vote in Polk county, Gov.
Cummins' home county, and very
large majority of the delegates to the
county convention, will contest the
legality of the Polk county convention
which gave Gov. Cummins the right
to name the 70 delegates from the
county of Polk to the state convention,
on the grounds that legally speaking,
the convention could not do this as a
law prohibited voting by proxy, and
thereby ignored the rights of Mr..
Mackenzie, Col d. j. Palmer, candi-
date for railway commissioner, Hon.
w. L. Eaton, candidate for railway
commissioner, Hon. d. A. Hites, candi-
date for secretary of state, Hon. B. F.
Carroll, candidate for state auditor,
and others who received majority OF
the popular vote at the primary cleo.
ton as well as a majority Of delegates
to the county convention.
This raises very important ques-
ton in connection with the 70 votes
to the state convention as the county
convention adjourned sine die and
cannot now be reconvened In the
opinion of some of our ablest attor.
neys the delegation can be protested
and if this is done Gov. Cummins
would lose ~ votes in the state con.
vention, Polk county having the larg.
est delegation from any county in the
state There is no doubt but that the
convention to have compiled with the
law should have elected the delegates
and not turned it over to any one
candidate to be selected.

RYE is SCARCE.
Operation Of DistiIIery Creates Un-
usual Demand For Grain.

The Hoover distillery is having the
effect of creating a decided local mar
ket for rye. The company is taking
all of the grain that is being offered
from local raisers, but they have need
for more than has been brought in
from nearby sources. A car load Of
rye was shipped in this week from the
west and other shipments will be made
from time to time, 1t is not known
how much rye is in the county az this
time, or in the adjoining counties, but
what is being offered is receiving a
premium price. Numerous shipments
from outside markets win be neces-
sary. however, before this seasons
grain can be harvested and marketed.

is CARPENTER CONVERTED?
Letter From Chaplain Jessup Of The
Fort Madison Prison.

1t has been reported for some time
that Charles Carpenter had become a
convert to Christianity. Listen Nc
MILAN a few days ago wrote to the
chaplain of the penitentiary inquiring
as to the evidence of his evangetiesrl
repentant and received the following
reply:
Mr.. Listen McMillen, Oskaloosa, Ia.
Dear Sir:-T have yours of the Bird,
inquiring respecting my views as to
the probable character and genuine
ness of the religious experience OF
Charles Carpenter, prisoner in this
institution.
Replying to the same, would say
that it is exceedingly difficult to de-
eide such a matter here, for the
reason that men when in trouble are
usually very ready to feel and declare
themselves ready to adopt a new
mode of life, especially if it seems
dition; while the fruits in action
which are the evidence of such
change as evangelical repentance
brings to the character, are of necess-
ity lacking, from the absence of
field of action in which to produce
them. For these reasons | am u.s.
ually very cautious about forming
judgment upon a mans profession
of religion in prison, until he has hao
a chance to prove himself on the out
side.
Respecting Mr.. Carpenters case,
believe he is very different man
than when he came here. l have
been informed that he was very pro-
fame man before. think he has not
INDUCED in that habit here, and was
surprised to learn that had been his
record, for it will come out in here,
If man has been profane in tue past
and his life has not been changed
since coming here. Prison discipline
and restrictions do not wholly check
profanity, nor conceal its indulgence
in one addicted to it.
Mr.. Carpenter, since he made an
open profession of religion, has been
very consistent in his participation
in the social meeting held Sunday
morning, and has been almost the only
one in his company to remain to that
meeting, following the regular SER
vice. In my private conversations
with him he has seemed to have the
root of the matter in him, but as
have said, feel hesitancy in speak
ing more positively, for the lack of
opportunity for practical testing
which can only come in normal de-
velopment impossible here
Trusting have made myself plain,
and regretting am unable to answer
your inquiry more definitely, am,
Very truly yours,
A. h. Jessup. Warden

MAIL WAS DESTROYED.
And Case Will Be Investigated BY
Federal Authorities.

Some one, possibly in spirit Of fun
rather than righteousness, put light,
ed bunch OF firecrackers in the mail
box at the corner of High avenue and
Seventh street, on the day of the
Fouth. The fire from the exploding
crackers set fire to the mail that was
in the box and damage to the matter
thereby resulted.
This is a very serious offense and
the matter has been reported to the
department by Postmaster Hoffman,.
An investigation will FOLLOW and the
guilty parties will be punished under
the law IL discovered.
