HAUGEN STILL UNDECIDED
VIII Announce Later His Position
Regarding the
ship.
From a Staff Correspondent

CFrom a staff Correspondent.)
f MONIES, Ia, Aug. 21.-(Special)-
Congressman G. N. Haugen of the Fourth
district, is not now a candidate for the
United States senate, but he is considering
the matter and may later announce himself.
In an authorized statement given out to-
day at Northwood. Ia, his home, he says
that he has been urged to become a can
dIdate by many persons over the state, and
allowed it to be known that he is consider
ing the matter. His statement is as fol-
lows:
A large number of friends and public
men over the state have urged me to make
the race for the United States senate, both
by correspondence ard N person, inns
coming from so many friends IN all rae
tons of the party, is complimentary ana
gratifying, and, Of course, there is no use
denying the fact that If this exalted posi-
ton and high honor could be realized, 1t
would be a laudable ambition % aspire Tor
it. 1t is a position that few, II any; would
turn down, but before definitely decldlhs
a question of such importance, l want 70
look into the matter carefully and consult
my friends fully. As yet 1t has not been
determined how this matter shall De as
posed of, and until then no definite conclu-
sion can be reached.
CONGRESSMAN Haugen denies having been
to a conference at Charles City, which Is
alleged to have been held .or the purpose
of inducing him to be a candidate ana
claims he has not been in Charles City IN
months, except TO pass through there on
the train. Reports from the northern part
of the state to the effect that Mr.. Haugen
was actively in the race for the senatorship
have been persistently finding their way
to this city. These seem to be set at rest
by the statement of Mr.. Haugen's position
given out today.

While the supervisors of Harrison and

other residents of Missouri Valley 10 re-
strain the drainage board from paying out
any more money on the contract for the

effect that If the plaintiffs filed a bond
In the sum of IS, 600 by noon of tomo"-
row, the temporary injunction asked for
would be issued, In the event that the
bond is not filed the present restraining
order will be dissolved.
The drainage board is anxious to get
this matter disposed Of, as it believes
that Contractor Katz is entitled to his
money. w. II. Killpack. special attorney
for the drainage district, was empowered
to take the necessary action to secure
the dissolution Of any restraining order
that may be made, If possible, although it
was stated that If the bond is filed the
court would not likely entertain any such
motion until the case comes up for a
hearing on its merits.
The time for the completion of the con-
tract on the Willow creek ditch was eX-
tended 10 September 81.
The contract entered into by Seth Dean,
engineer in charge of construction, with
A. II. Jones for the construction of the
Allen creek levee was approved and con-
firmed.
Mr.. Dean was authorized TO put up a
leyee Of sufficient height at the mouth
Of the Allen creek ditch to head off the
water from Cutoff No. / ditch to prevent
the land adjacent being overlooked.
The board adjourned to meet September
81 at Logan, at which time objections to
the proposed establishment of the sub

Number 1924.

tNOtu0SI IDlGfs
Chicago, July Z. - Results OF the
frenzied methods by which the Fourth
of July is celebrated in the United
States are given in the appended sum-
mary of the number of persons killed
and MANNED.
Reports from all parts of the coun.
try showed that forty-eight persons
had been killed and 1,124 burned,
manned and lacerated by the various
instruments used in making noise to
celebrate the signing of the Declara-
tion of independence. Cities in which
the Fourth of July deaths occurred

In addition to the forty-eight dead

the cause of many.
