Cedar Rapids, Aug. 20.-Jennie I.
Berry is the unanimous choice of the
Woman's Relief corps department of
Iowa, for national president, and they
have inaugurated a campaign de-
signed to urge that she be given that
office. one which she well deserves.
Mrs. Berry Is member Of Corps No.

At the, twentyfourth annual con-
vention of the department Of Iowa,
held at Dubuque in June of this year,
she was unanimously indorsed as a
candidate for national president and
a committee was appointed to for
ward all honorable effort for her cleo
ton.
The department Of Iowa has several
excellent reasons for asking that their
choice be recognized in the election.
In the first place the department with
asked for an elective office in the ma

They have unselfishly bided their

Des Moines, Aug 20.-George CAL
larno, returning from Waterloo yester-
day, said that there is much talk III
that section about George +. Lichty
being candidate for congress in the
Third district against Mr., Birdsall next
year.
. According TO Mr.. Gallarno, progress
the favorable discussion of the project
and he said that it would go without
saying that the standpatters would
support Mr.. Lichty.
Mr. Lichty's prominence in the dis
i-trict has been recognized for a long
time and his personal popularity is
very great. He is II good fighter. Last
year he had charge of the Perkins
campaign in Black Hawk county and
at the convention at Waterloo made as
happy and graceful speech in giving
up the contest as did Mr.. Rosewater
at the convention in Nebraska when
iie SIM dllotIiei GdiQludle NlSloElouS.
No question of Mr.. Lichty's loyalty to
the republican ticket last year or ally
other could ever be raised.
1t is stated that If he becomes Il
candidate it will mean the relinqulsh-
ment for the present of Charles e.
Picketts ambition to go to congress-
Information from Bremner county is
to the effect that Burton &c. Sweet
never has authorized any one to say
that he is candidate for congress.
The rumor is understood to have been
started from Dubuque and from DEM
ocratic sources. 1t is said that Mr..
Sweet has never expected to be a cam
didate. The complication involved in
his candidacy never was understood by
republicans. He resides in the county
dominated by e. a. Dawson and Ed
Knott and Congressman Birdsall WAS
so tena cious of the retention OF Mr..
Knott in the marshais office that it
has been supposed Bremen county
would not go back ON the congress-
man.
Congressman Birdsall is said by
politicians to have at least appointed
a progressive republican to an office,
the postmaster at Jesup. The stand
patter in charge of the office retired
and progressive is said to have sue
ceeded him.

Washington, Aug. 20.--Sixteen Of the

II will be remembered that the COM

alleging that the interstate livestock
rates from Iowa to Chicago were un-

dicial. In the answer thus far received
the railroads are of practically one

that the rates forced on the railroads

test by the railroad commission OF I'M
nois do not form fair or reasonable

roads further claim that interstate
rates on livestock from Iowa points
bear Il fair and reasonable relation 10
the local rates in Iowa and Illinois,
which the commissioners in these states
have forced upon the railroads. They
deny also that the Iowa farmer is dis

Kansas and Nebraska farmers, wheth-
Ell fed in transit" or not
In substance, the roads claim to have
no knowledge Of the organization OF
the complainants and deny that the
rates set forth in table by the said
claimed organization are correct. In
short, the railroads unanimously agree
in the answer received that the rates
are not unreasonable or that they work
a prejudice or disadvantage TO the
Iowa farmer.
This will all be threshed out before
the commission at Washington, D. c.,
this fall, and the compliments are
arnling themselves for the resistance

Why Thirteen is UnIucky.
(The Housekeeper)

1t is unusually stated that the sup
efstltlous objection to sitting thirteen
at table in Christian countries was
pased on the fact of the last supper,
when Christ and his twelve disciples
sat down to eat together, immediately
before the Savior was seized by his
enemies.
But in the Morse mythology. which
is supposed to antedate the introduce
ton of Christianity among the North
men, we find the superstition referred
to the fact that at a banquet of the
gods. Loki, the spirit of mischief, in
tfuded himself. making thirteen at the
table, wherefore there was fight and
Baldour, young hero especially loved
by all the gods, was killed For the
fact is the objection to this number
seems to have existed even before
Christianity. Among the Turks, the
number is so disliked and feared that
1T is never named; with the Aztecs,
the aborigines of Mexico, it was be-
lieved to have magic power and like
fancy has been found in other Indian
tribes
Among the ignorant blacks of the
south the fear Of this number in any
connection is actually absurd, but
whether they have borrowed this idea
from their imperfect knowledge of
Christianity or whether it is a sur
vival of the Voodoo worship of their
ancestors it is impossible to say, for
the superstition has a strong hold
everywhere, even among those who
should know better than to be swayed

VALUE OF A WHooPER.
Indian Territory Hunters introduced
to a New Character.

Indian Territory Hunters introduces
to New Character.
A Muskogee u. T.) hunting party on
the brakes OF the Illinois river had
pitched its tents for the night; the hunt
ers had eaten supper and were smok-
ing pipeful of home grown before
turning In. They intended to get a
good rest and begin their hunt the next
morning. While they We're spinning
yarns barefooted country boy basil
fully eauntered up to the campfire and
inquired whether or not they wanted
to hire "whooper," writes Musko-
gee correspondent Of the Kansas City
Star.
What is whooper?" asked one Of
the hunters.
"a whooper's whooper," said the
boy in surprise. "'Pears to me you ell
amt much hunters If you don't know
what whooper is"
More to have sport with the boy
than anything else the lad was hired.
When the hunting party started into
the canebtake the next morning the
boy said:
'Now, when you all is lost just
whoop Ter up, and I'll whoop back, and
you all come to my whoop."
In the afternoon one of the hunters
tried to go back to camp, but lost his
way. About the time he thought he
would strike a clearing he would find
the canebrake growing thicker. He
had almost given up in despair when
he thought of the whooper. He let
out yell and listened.
"Whoopee!" came the. sound from
the distance. He knew the whooper
had lived up to his contract. BY fol-
lowing the sound made by the boy the
hunter struck the clearing and got
back to camp in safety.
"It's cinch if man goes hunting
on the Illinois, said this hunter, "he'd
better employ whooper."
