Mr.. Taft and his party departed

In regard to the crowd that greeted

composed principally OF women. AS

peared in sight, Mr.. Murphy jumped
to the front of the stage and yelled,
There he comes. There comes Bill"
But his antics were so interesting
that the crowd forgot to notice the APP
proach Of the candidate, and only
about score applauded by way of a
greeting.
Could Scarcely Speak.
Congressman Dawson introduced
Mr.: Taft at the court house, and the
candidate made few brief remarks.
His voice is so affected by the con
tinual strain of his speech making
tour, and the dust, that he could hard
ly speak at all. He could not be heard
over 40 feet distant from the stand
Mr.. Taft under the circumstances,
and because of his very limited time,
did not attempt to make much of an
address. He spoke of the pleasure it
gave him to have with him Governor
Cummins and Congressman Dawson
and Lacey. The presence of these
men. he said. indicates that Iowa will
once more be solidly republican. He
made a very brief reference to the
political issues, speaking of the poll
cies of President Roosevelt, and urg-
ing that the republican party is better
equipped to continue them than is
Bryan.
The crowd gave the speaker mere
polite greeting OF applause when he
had concluded, but in a moment there
was the most enthusiastic clamor for
a speech from Governor Cummins. The
governor responded, and very briefly
thanked the people for their interest
Congressman Dawson, too, was given
demonstration, and he too made a
few very brief remarks.
All during the program of about II
minutes, Murphy was breaking loose
with his always ready supply oil

The fire department responded to
three calls this afternoon, none of
which was serious. however. The
first one was to 725 Twenty-third

residence of John Streckfus had
caught fire from burning leaves. The
fire was eXtinguished before the ar
rival of the department. The second
call was sent in by the Mueller Lum-

was fire at Twenty-fourth street near

celia resulted this morning when the
Red Boy and the Arvilla met in the
race for boats so feet and under. Side
by side they ran the five mile course
and at the finish the Arvilla was
slightly in the lead, just enough to be
called the winner. Had the start been
little closer it would have made the
finish so close that the race would
probably have been tie At the
start the Arvilla left the post little
in the lead of the Red Boy but the
latter crawled upon it throughout the
entire distance and came nearly nos
ing it out of the first prize The time
for the five miles was II minutes and
II seconds. The roughness of the
river made real speeding impossible
and the time made is not at all re-
markable but is very good under the
conditions. All that the spectators
could see of the boats when they were
running at full speed was a sheet of
spray which completely enveloped
them. The ,Arvilla is owned by b. A.
Clayton of Davenport The Mabel,
owned by r. S. Shade of Davenport,
took third place in the race. There

Good Wind for SaiIbOats.
There were three entries in the sail

plenty of wind for a good race, and
had it been a little closer it would
have been very exciting, as the boats

Tonight the river will be lightened
up with great display of fireworks
which will form a fitting climax to the

Larkspur Poisoning On National Forests S.

The losses to the cattle men in the
western states from larkspur poisoning
every y3ar have been SO serious that the
Government is making vigorous efforts
to find an antidotc for the poison. as
well as to eradicate the plant itself.
In the Gunnison National Forest
Colorado, the losses to the Storkmen
last season from larkspur were couser-
vativcly estimated to equal almost five
per cent of the total number of cattle

ing their cattle from such places. AS
far as possible, these areas will be fenced
by the Forest Service. On other areas
where it is not so plentiful the plant
will be dug out by the Forest rangers,
and also moved off to prevent seeding
again.
1t has also been found that the plant
will not hold its own against certain
kinds of grasses. such as timothy. A
few acres, sewed in timothy, are being
carefully watched and it is believed
that it is crowding the larkspur ont.
1t seems probable that by sowing tim
othy on the mountains meadows the
larkspur could be gradually smothered
and replaced by a valuable forage plant.
If this plan is supported by good
evidence this season, timothy will be
extensively sowed later on. Meanwhile
upon this, as well as several other
National Forests where the losses from
this plant are very serious, the build
ing of fences to keep the cattle off the
most dangerous areas is being pushed
by the Forest Service, and will be con-
tinued as fast as funds are available for
the purpose.

RADIO, made an experiment i'll feeding
the larkspur some years ago to deter
mine, if possible, just what part of the
plant contained the poisonous properties.
A yearliug steer was fed large guam

suits. A few days later, the same
animal was fed a quantity of the roots
and within ten hours it was dead, thus
justfying the suspicion that the poi
sonous matter was contained in the
