LATE MEETING
THOUGHT BEST
BY DEMOCRATS

That the next Democratic national
convention will be held later than the
Republican convention now seems prob
able.
Tom L. Johnson. the militant mayor
Of Cleveland, arrived in Washington
this morning. and after giving the
Cleveland and Cincinnati booms for the
convention knockout blows said he
would favor holding the Democratic
gathering after the Re, ubIicans had
gotten OF their performance. Mr.. John
son IS a member OF the Democratic ma
tonal committee. Also. by beating
Theodore Burton IN the last mayoralty
fight, he has added unto himself much
weight in Democratic deliberations.
Norman Mack With Him.
He was accompanied by Norman e
Mack, national committeeman from New
York, who backed up the johnson view
FOR late convention with the words:
we want a late convention. There
is no advantage in getting in ahead OF
the Republicans"
There has been much talk OF late Of
the advantages the Democrats would
reap politically by getting IN ahead OF
the Republicans and defining their is
sues first. This, however, IS not the
opinion Of Mack or Johrson.
Another significant development TODAY
is that Henver's chances for being the
convention city are frightening every
hour. The Denver boomers are sriII
talking with all the persuasive descrlp..
tive style found IN a reilway folder.

George AIDES Great Political Drama
Filled With Withdrawn characteri-
cations.
George AIDES quaint story of rural
political life of the middle west, pic
tured in the dramatization of 1.-THE
County Chairman" was Manager Bus
by's offering at the Odeon last night,
and proved another of the numerous
March treats. Mr.. AIDE has filled his
play with well-drawn claracterizations
that perfect a real character study
from the beginning to the finale. That
he has painted well was shown by the
splendid applause that greeted the diff
ferent scenes and acts.
Mr.. AIDE portrays in "The County
Chairman" the scenes incident to To-
cal campaign at Imaginary Antioch, in
which a special election is being held
to name a prosecuting attorney. "Jim"
Hacker. attorney, and chairman OF the
county central committee, has waged
a bitter personal war in politics against
Elias Rigby, a sboyhood friend, who had
unscrupulously won for his wife
Hackers sweetheart OF twenty years
before Hacker is instrumental in
carrying the convention nomination for
his law partner, Tilford Wheeler, and
wins the fight, despite the fact that
Wheeler is lukewarm in his own can
didacy, because Of his love for his op-
ponent's daughter, Lucy Rigby. The
climax is reached in the third act, when
Hacker is about to cause the publica-
ton of a newspaper story showing how
Rigby had failed to account for $4,000

known, but that 1t would be $500 or
more. This amount, it is claimed,
Morse collected from customers and
did not turn in.
His alleged shortage was discovered
by the company about three weeks ago.
and Morse was discharged. The short
age was reported to the bonding COM
pany, which showed leniency in the
case by giving Morse the intervening
time in which to settle. This, the COM
pany says, Morse has not done.
An officer of Let's, Fletcher com
pany said Morse had been travelling for
the firm in territory along the Rock
Island, north and west of Iowa Falls.
He came to the company from Des
Moines eighteen months ago. and has
always borne an excellent reputation.

wife and three children. Since his
discharge Morse has sought work Of
any kind, he said, that he might make
up the shortage.
According to a grocery company Of
fetal, Morse has said that he did not
know where the money went to, and
as far as is known he had no bad hab-

TO PREVENT
A NERVOUS
BREAKDOWN
Take Or. Williams Pink Pills When
the First Warning Symptoms Are
Noticed and Save Yourself
sisss Much Suffering.

Are you troubled with pallor, loss of
spirits, waves of heat passing over the
body, shortness of breath after slight
oxertion, a peculiar skipping of the
heart beat, poor digestion. cold extrer-
tties or a feeling CT weight and full
hess? Do not make the mistake of
thinking that these are diseases in
themselves and be satisfied with re-
4 lief for the time being.
This is the way the nerves give war
ming that they are breaking down. 1t
simply means that for some reason or
other the blood has become impure and
thin and cannot carry enough nourish-
ment to the nerves to keep them heal
thy and able to do their work.
Rest, alone, will sometimes give the
needed relief. The tonic treatment by
DIR. Williams Pink Pills, however, pre-
vents the final breakdown Of the nerves
and the more serious diseases which
follow, because the pills act directly
upon the impure blood, making it rich,
red and pure.
Mrs. e.. G. Bradley, of 1os Parsells
avenue, Rochester N. Y, was cured by
DIR. Williams Pink Pills after suffer
Ing from nervous breakdown for sew
seral months. She says:
II was never very healthy and some
years ago, when in a run down condi-
ton, suffered nervous shock, caused
BY a misfortune to a friend. 1t was so
great. Kat I was untitled for work.
II was just weak, low-spirned, and
nervous. could hardly walk and could
not bear the least noise. Ny appetite
was poor and did not care for food.
II couldn't sleep we'll and once for two
weeks got scarcely an hours sleep.
had severe headaches most of the time
and pains In the back and spine.
Il was treated by two doctors, be-
ing under the care of one of them for
six months. I got no relief and then
decided to try DR., Williams Pink Pills.
/ soon began to feel better and the inn
sprovement was general. My appetite
became hearty and my sleep better.
The headaches all left and also the
pains in my back. "A few more boxes
entirely cured me and ! was able to
go back to work felt splendid and as
tho / had never been sick. would
recommend DR.. Williams Pink Pills to
any nervous sufferer
/, DR.. williams Pink Pills contain the
elements necessary to make new blood
and, as the nerves get their nourish-
ment from the blood, have been found
Invaluable in the wide range OF dis
eases OF the blood and nerves, such as
rheumatism, after effects Of the grip
and levers, neuralgia, St vitus' dance
and even partial paralysis and locomo-
tor ataxfa.

did a vaudeville sketch, in which they
appeared as two stranded minstrels.
While sitting on their trunk on a rail-
way line with nothing in sight but
water tank, they were both really in
need Of food and nourishment. one
being an optimist and the other
pessimist, one can well imagine the
opportunities offered here for witty dia-
logue. But until one sees and hears
Mcintyre and Heath in their dialogue
about Jumps and bumps on trees, no
one can imagine the fun the optimist
makes with the pesslmist out OF this
opportunity. The optimist goes so far
as to add that hams grow on these trees
but far up, and If the pessimist Will
only continue to walk a little further
they will soon have their fill Of ham
and eggs. Around this trifling bit, Mr..
George " Hobart has really construct
ed a wonderful three-act musical nov
city, interlarded with pretty scenes,
magnificent costumes, charming music
by Jerome & Schwartz and delightful
dances Messrs. Klaw & Erlanger have
spared no expense in casting this piece
with every character fitted to tit the
parts, the selection being a most hap
py one. When 1t is fully known that
the above is the pet one Of all Klaw &
Erlangers attractions, 1t will be read
lily understood that the public will SEQ
the very best Of its kind on the stage
today. We are pleased to announce
that 1.-THE Ham Tree" will spread Its
branches over the stage of the Odeon

morrow at 10 a. m.

is holding his press for the copy While
Mrs. Rigby, the girl sweetheart OF
Hacker, is pleading with Hacker tor
the sake of old times, and to save dis
grace to her and her daughter, not to
print the story. Hacker gives out the
copy as his political duty, but recalls
it, and announces There will be no

won, Wheeler also gains his hearts de-
sire, having held the love of his OPP
ponent's daughter turnout the fight,
and all ends happily.
MIR. Theodore Babcock appeared in
the title role, and a more typical
country politician would be hard to
imagine. In size and bearing, voice
and gestures, Mr.. Babcock portrays
the boss" Of the rural Districts IN a
manner characterized by it's extreme
naturalness. Another real hit OF the
evening was Mr.. Thomas j. Gradys
Sassafras Livingston, which was as
artistic portrayal of country negro
of the shiftless type as has ever been
witnessed from the Odeon stage. Mr..
Grady has character that is easily
overdrawn and spoiled, but not once
did he fail to imply the authors con-
ception of 1.-The local touch of color"
While in nearly every instance 1T
would have been hard to improve upon
the character studies drawn by the
author, some were displayed with par
ticular skill. Charles A. Burke's Uncle
Eek" Millbury was cleverly done, as
were also Edward Gormon's Vance
Jimmison, the storekeeper, and Charles
Horns Jefferson Briscoe, the store box
orator George c. Clenett, as Joe
Whitaker the windmill agent and al
together smooth drummer" was re-
freshing, and he had a most able as
sistant in his opposite character. in the
person Of Miss Fannie Midgley, as
Lorena Watkins, the milliner. who had
met SO many travelling gentlemen"
Miss Loretta Babcock did q. very good
characterization as "Chick" Elzey, the
orphan
Francis Yale. as TiIford Wheeler,
was not particularly strong, and Miss
Gene Gauntier's Lucy Rigby could have
been portrayed to better advantage.
For delightful treat in the way of
clean wholesome comedy, with not one

Chairman is among the foremost Of

Small Washout on Central Re-
sults---Low Ground and Gel +
lars Are Flooded
FAMILY MOVED FROM HOME
Widow and Two Children Taken by
Police From Their Home Near the
East End Of Arson Street, Which
Had Become Surrounded With Wa
ter Two Horses Reported Killed.

Some damage resulted, street car
and railroad traffic were Slightly inter-
rupted, cellars were flooded and the
city was fairly submerged in the ter
rife rain storm of early Thursday eve
ming. The greater part of the lbs in
ches of rain which fell during the
twenty four hours ending at 1880
o'clock this morning came down within
less than an hour in the evening. AS
far as can be learned the storm was a
local one.
The ballast from a section of track
$50 feet in length on the Iowa Central,
near the beer gardens" east of the
city, was washed out, but the delay to
traffic was only brief, as men were
hurried to the place and repaired the
track during the night. The streets
of the city ran curb full with water,
and at the junction of streets at the
lowest point Of grades, the storm sew
ers We're flooded and the water backed
over parkings and into yards. At the
Junction of Third and Park streets
the car line was under foot Of water,
and cars on that line ran no farther
north than Lincoln street.
Ono Family Moved Out.
The low ground adjacent to the small
creek which flows into Linn creek east
of the glucose factory was overfiowed,
and one family, consisting of widow
and two children, called for help to
remove them from their home near the
east end of Arson street, which had be-
come surrounded with water. They
were taken out in the police patrol to
safe quarters. The water damage in
this section of the city will not be
great, however.
Linn creek was filled bank full, but
did not overflow except in the lowest
places. The storm had no noticeable
effect on the stage of the water in the
river.
It was reported from the south side
of the city that two horses had been
killed by lightning, but this could not
be verified.
Cellars Flooded.
Cellars all over the city were flooded
with water, and wherever there were
leaky roofs the rain which came down
with unusual force, beat thru. Rain
which came thru the roof of the Iowa
Central car shops flooded the floor to
a depth of two or three inches. The
South Third avenue police station floor
was submerged. under two inches of
water, but no one was locked up in the
place during the night. The union sta
ton platform was as usual, during
heavy storms under several inches of
water, and boots could have been used
to advantage unloading passengers
from the Northwestern train at. 1880.

The George w. Smith residence, 1105
West Main street, was robbed during
Thursday afternoon. while the family
was away, and valuable watches, rings
and old coins were taken, which Mr..
Smith says are worth $500. The burg
lar evidently entered thru a door, either
using the family key, which was left
secreted on the porch. or a duplicate.
Mrs. Smith left the house at 1880
o'clock, and her husband returned at
$3.50 to find the house locked as usual,
but the contents of Mrs. Smiths
dresser had been ransacked, and her
jewel box gone. 1t contained one gen.
