Tobin and Bernard Murphy, both of Vinton
reached Des Mones this morning. Mr.
Tobin is and has been for two years a can
didate for United States attorney for the
northern district of Iowa and 70 rsome
time 1t has been considered that he was
as good as appointed and would be ac-
tually appointed as soon as the Iowa dele
CATION met in Washington to caucus. The
efforts of d. c. Chase of Webster City and
his friends In circulating petitions among
the members of the Legislature the past day
or two asking Dolliver to appoint Chase
brought Tobin and Murphy to Des Moines
In hurry. Both Tobin and Murphy stated
at once that they would not circulate any
petitions with the members OF the legisla-
ture. They and the friends of Tobln crit
icise the action of the Chase men as stir
ring up factionalism in the legislature
which will meet Monday. Tobin became a
candidate for the position of northern dis
trict attorney over two years ago when
II. G. Mcmillan announced that he would
not be a candidate for the position. Tobln' $
friends now claim that Chase withdrew
from the race last year when he came out
as candidate for state senator. Chase
today has the endorsement not only of all
the legislators from his own congressional
district the Tenth, but has all but one of
the progressive legislators from the Fourth
and claims he will have all from the Elev-
enth and Third. He also has three from
the Fifth district, Tobin's district, two of
them Senator Eckles and Representative
Arney being from Marshall county and
Representative Lister being from Grundy
county.
Undoubtedly Governor Cummins would
rather not be elected at this session of the
| legislature to succeed DOlliver. The cleo
| ton has been conceded to Dolliver by
all factions, and If Cummins were to be
elected now the public could hardly be
| persuaded but that there was a trick OF
some kind. About the hotel Hobbies there
is talk that If Dolliver refuses to promise
| his support to Chase for district attorney
| and Cummins refuses the election 20 the
| senate the Chase men will throw their

stock was promptly subscribed at yester-
days meeting.

A 2 per cent dividend on the net sales
was ordered to the members of the asso-
citation who had shipped fruit

showed that the cash on hand at the be-
ginning of 1906 was 1,96.54 and that the
receipts from stock and merchandise
handled by the association during the sea-
son amounted to $s6.SO4.6s. The cash bal
ance on hand January /, 1907, was 81, 81. O4,
