EDDYVILLE MEN BACK coNVC-
TIoNS ON SENATOR.
II Allison Is Elected, Lafferty viii
Walk, While If Cummins Wins,
DeLong Will Take His
Medicine.

Eddyville, Ia, May 27.-Considerable
excitement was created in our little
city last evening when ]. A. Lafferty,
owner of the Eddyville stone quarries
and an enthusiastic Cummins worker,
and Postmaster W. w, DeLong, lead
er In the Allison forces here, wagered
their automobiles nsthe result OF the
senatorial contest in the coming Pri.
mary election. Mr. Lafferty made the
challenge and it was promptly accept
ed by Mr.. belong. They went before
4 notary public and made out bills
of sale which were placed in escro
pending the official count.
The cars are of the same make ,prac-
tically new, and cost between $4,000
and $4,000 each. In speaking of the
matter, Colonel Lafferty said: It's
a shame to take his machine, but o
man who has no more judgment about
betting than belong has is no fit per
son to run an automobile" Mr.. De-
Long said: ''Lafferty will take his out
in walking after June 2. However, II
Mr.. Cummlns is nominated | will
take my medicine and walk, but if
he succeeds in foisting his Canadian
reciprocity treaty and tariff revision
ideas on congress, | will not be lone
some, for there will be plenty of other
people walking in short time"

husband; she withdraws from the &C
ton at this time because she believes
her husbands present situation de.
mands from her loyalty to his in.
terest and that it would not serve any
good purpose to prove, at time when
he is attempting to gain his liberty,
that he was insane when he married
her. Especially is this true in the
light of the unfortunate conclusion Of
the last proceedings"
Mr.. O'Reilly declined to give the
name of the relative who had brought
pressure to bear upon her to institute
the proceedings.
Mr., o'Reilly was quoted Tuesday as
saying there had been no reconcilia.
ton between Harry X. Thaw and his
wife, and that Mrs. Evelyn Thaw
wanted none. He added that Evelyn
thought she had right to some finan.
cial reco.spense for the sacrifice she
had made in Thaw's behalf.

RETAILERS PLAN
FOR BETTER LAWS
THAT is CHIEF FEATURE OF AN
NuAL STATE MEETING.
LIKE PURE FOOD LAW BETTER.
Secretary Ira Thomas Reports That
New Legislative Committee
viii Be Named For Next
Session.

Ottumwa, Ia, May 27.--With nearly
500 members present the tenth annual
convention of the Iowa State Retail
Merchants association opened here
yesterday afternoon. Reports of the
Officers formed the principal feature
and If these are to be taken as the
sentiment OF the convention then the
keynote is legislation for the protec,
ton of the retailer of Iowa.
One thing seems certain and that Is
that in both houses of the next Iowa
legislature there is to be a committee
on commerce and retail trade, for Sec.
Rotary Ira B. Thomas has received
pledges to this effect from every. can
didate for governor and lieutenant
governor. On this committee lies the
hope OF the retailer for legislation in
his behalf.
President Burt T. Jackson of Cedar
Rapids delivered an interesting adj
dress, declaring that the 1000 to 5000
merchants of the state could defeat
men running for Office who were not
in sympathy with them. He urged the
members to enter actively into the
elections in their own counties and to
see that the right kind of men were
sent to the legislature.
Praise was given the Iowa jobbers
for their help to the merchants, both
in the matter of legislation and in
keeping an organizer in the field. With
reference to laws recently enacted
President Jackson said the peddlers
law was beneficial in that it prevent
ed accidents and sometimes suits of
damage, that the pure food law was
being appreciated more and more all
the time. He urged that politics be
kept out of the convention and recon,
mended that the work of organization
be kept up. He said that this associa.
ton proposesTt to be the leader among
the members of the Federated Mer
chants Associations an influence az the
next Legislature. Other matters per
tanning to the retailers business was
commented on.
The report of State Secretary Ira B.
Thomas of Des Moines brought out
little more clearly Just what the asso-
citation has been and is doing in the
matter of getting legislation. Besides
having secured pledges from the can.
didates for governor and lieutenant
governor that they will appoint com.
mittees on commerce and retail trade,
Secretary Thomas has been busy lately
getting after the different organiza.
tions over the state. He has urged
the members to pay attention to who
is elected to the legislature in the in.
terest of an exemption law. Also or
ganizatiohs in several counties in the
state have been reached with a circu.
lar letter telling them to take an in
terest in the primary elections, and
see that the proper men are nomi.
mated.

Many New Associations.

Secretary Thomas report showed
that new associations have been or.
ganized in the past year in Davenport,
Creston,s Muscatine, Abba, FIT. Madi-
son, TT. Dodge, Centerville, Greenfield,
Waterloo and Mystic. The fire insur-
ance department of the state associa.
tion was shown to be in flourishing
condition and that since its organiza.
tion eight years ago it has been an
annual saving of from Is to 25 per
cent to its members. The Iowa Job
bers were also praised by Secretary
Thomas and he stated that it was
through their generosity more than
anything else that the association was
able to keep an organizer in the field
all the time. The secretary's report
showed that since Feb. Is. 1907, the
receipts of the association have been
$5,744.67, the disbursements So, 1863. 20.
leaving a balance of $5S097.

LOW RECORDS
 FOR COTTON

Kew York, April 2S.-CottOn again sold down into new low records todaJ and even after notices were out of the way, showed no rallying power. The session was very dull, after the first hour with the trade local. Cables were weak and the weather map clear from Texas to the Atlantic. Ellison reported continental mill stocks 303,000 larger than last year and said prospects were unfayorable, owing to the overproduc- ton of goods. The Journal of Con- merce said Arkansas has had too much rain but general outlook flattering and labor plentiful. A ChenitZ cable said there would be no short time and our advices from Greenville. S. C., are that there will be no shut down of mills in the Piedmont section. Favorable weather may send cotton still lower but We are getting near q point where it should be bought on q scale down.

Turns Out to Be an Ingen.
iOus Thief Who Laid
Tribute on hotels
For Many Years She Has
Been Social Leader.
Now in Jail

Paris, March ga series of mys-
terious hotel robberies on the Rivera,
extending over many years, has been
explained in the arrest of the beauti-
fnl, dashing, but masquerading
Countess of Monteil. For years the
Countess of Mouteil has entertained
lavishly both at Paris and the Riv-
era.
Her wealth and jewels have
drawn comment from far and near.
Now she is declared one of the most
ingenious, successful and audacious
hotel thieves that has ever troubled
the hotel proprietors of France.
Her arrest at Nice reveals her not
as captivating, brilliant countess,
but as thoroughly up to date burg
lar carrying concealed In her be-
witching garments an array OF burg
lars implements OF intricate, work
manship which opened to her any
hotel room on the Rivera which she
knew to contain the coveted wealth
of money and valuables.
