WEALTHY LAND
HOLDER DEAD
WAS JOHN SMITH OF KEoKUK
co. AND KNOWN AS NO. Il
OWNED 1000 ACRES.

Sigourney, Aug. 5.-A number of
the people of this place went to the
John Smith home near Harper on Mon
day afternoon to attend the funeral of
Mr.. Smith. On account of similar
names in the neighborhood, this man
was designated as John Smith, No. J.,
and he was we'll known all over the
county. He owned over one thousand
acres of good land close to where he
was living and had a large number of
valuable horses. He was hard work
er and met with unusual success in
most of his undertakings. He always
seemed we'll and stout and his sudden
death was a surprise to most people.
He was just past As years of age and
his death was caused by stomach
trouble. for which an operation was
performed on Saturday. Mr.. Smith
never rallied from the ordeal and he
passed away at about 10 O'Clock on the
same evening.

THE SUPREME JuDGEsHIP.

Keokuk Gate City - It is expected
that the Republican state convention
to nominate candidate for supreme
judge will be called to meet about the
middle of August. Among those men
toned are w. H. Berry, of Indianola,
w. H. McHepry and Hugh Brennan of
Des Moines, Robert Healy of Fort
Dodge, D. w. Evans of Hampton,
Judge Church of Jefferson, Judge
Green of Audubon, Judge Thornell of
Sidney and Judge M. A. Roberts of
Ottumwa. A number of southeastern
Iowa Republican papers have given I'M
qualified endorsement to the candi-
dacy of the last named gentleman. The
Fairfield Journal says he will undoubt-
eddy be given the undivided support
of the Republicans in that judicial dis
trlct, and that the delegation from JEFF
ferson county will likely go to the
state convention instructed for him.
The Abba Union urges in his behalf
that he comes from part of the state
wholly unrepresented on the supreme
bench, and says that this, with his en-
viable fourteen year record as district
judge, makes him a formidable candi-
date. The Ottumwa Courier endorses
this view and predicts that he will go
into the convention with a following
as strong as that Of any candidate.

A JOURNALISTIC FEAT

Inc MONDAY edition of the Musca-
tine Journal, one of the Lee Syndicate
papers, was issued under difficulties.
Anticipating a temporary shut down
at the Muscatine electric light plant.
which supplies the Journal with the
power to run all its machinery. the
force worked Sunday to set up what
advance matter was obtainable. be-
l1eving that the electric power would
be down but a short time Monday.
AS noon approached Monday, how
ever 1T was seen that it would be abso-
lutely impossible to get the power
started in time to issue the paper that
afternoon. Here was quandary
The linotype machines could not be
operated without power and there was
still half of the paper to be set up.
Some Of the news could be handled by
setting type by hand, but here was
another quandary-there was not a
spark of electricity to run the press.
The difficulty was solved by a dis
play of commendable enterprise.
The matrices of the six completed
pages and the copy" of the local
news obtainable up to that time were
hustled together and at 1880 f. u.
Throop, the publisher, L. P. LOOMS,
the managing editor, and George
Pitchforth, the circulation manager,
boarded a train and hustled to Dayen-
port with the embryo Journal under
their arms. At Davenport the six mats
were cast into plates in the office OF
the Times, the Copy was set into
type on the Times machines and the
Times press printed the 5000 copies of
the Muscatine Journal in addition to
printing two of It's own editions. At
BIB the three members of the Jour
nal force boarded a train for Musca-
tine with the 5000 papers and the yde-
livered the papers in Muscatine on
time.
The Journals feat could not have
been accomplished but for the com
plete mechanical equipment of the
Davenport Times, also Lee Syndi-
cate paper. 1t is all the ordinary news
paper office can do to issue it's own
paper on time, but the Times not only
did this but printed another complete
paper as well. Neither could the feat
have been accomplished but for the
resourcefulness of the Muscatine
Journal management.

to the sultan's. The umpire may have
bad half hour occasionally when it
looks to be toss-up whether he is to
be drawn and CHARTERED or burned at
the stake. But in an inning or two
when the home team gets the lead his
transgressions are forgotten and he
becomes the most popular of men.
But in Turkey the home team never
wins. The Young" Turk, Who from
printed descriptions resembles the
bleacherite, doesn't seem to care how
the score stands. Consequently the
sultan's whole life is something like
that of the umpire's when he calls one
of the home team out at the plate in
the ninth inning, with the score tied
and one run needed to win the game.

WILLIAM B. ALLISON.

The Chicago Tribune - Sudden
death has claimed the most eminent
citizen of Iowa, the man who for over
forty years has had the confidence of
it's people and has faithfully represent
ed their interests in one or the other
houses of congress. The loss is not
theirs alone. The senate of the United
States is deprived of it's most sagac-
ious and experienced counselor. The
Republican party has lost one of its
old and trusted leaders.
To give in detail the work that Mr..
Allison did during his long period
would call for the writing of the legis-
lative history of the last four decades.
There were few measures enacted by
congress during that time which do
not bear the imprint of his mind. His
work was quietly done, but it was none
the less effective.
He was not one of the magnetic"
men of his time. He was not the orig
inator of striking policies. He was de-
liberate and cautious. He aimed to
keep abreast with the people rather
than to take the lead and invite them
to follow. If he had been more bold,
and self-assertive his chances for a
presidential nomination would have
been better, but his conservatism
saved him from the perils which some
times beset more aggressive men. AS
it was, all who knew him put full faith
in his Judgment. They knew that they
would be committed to no rash meas
ures by following him. He was the
model discreet and safe legislator
Mr.. Allison's death is deplored be-
cause there are not so many men of
his stamp in public life that one of
them can easily be spared. 1t will also
reopen the political conflict which was
ended temporarily by Senator Allison's
victory at the primaries. But thanks
to that victory, he died with his mind
at peace. He knew that the people of
his state had not lost confidence in
him. He was almost 80. and death had
no terrors for him. He would have
welcomed 1t if he had been repudiated
by his state

LITTLE ANNA's DEMISE.

Drop a tear for the untimely demise
of Little Anna. She was tsweet man
nered' and a lovely companion" But
first read of Annals sudden death as
told in an obituary notice in the Chi
cago Tribune yesterday:
LITTLE ANNA, ONE OF THE MOST
beautiful Boston terriers in the
country, died of heart failure Sun
day evening, July &c, 1908. She was
sweet hammered and lovely com
panion. Her master is deeply griev-
ed at his loss. Many offers made
for her. She was priceless and not
for sale.
The notice of Little Annals demise
is incomplete, however. 1t does not
state whether her attack of heart fail
ure was due to an effort to outrun a
can tied to her tail, or whether the
attack was brought on by a love af-
fair
The Chicago man who printed the
obituary notice, however, probably
feels that he has done the right thing
by the pup.

SENATOR ALLIsoN,s DEATH

Senator William B. Allison was one
man whose worth was appreciated in
MS lifetime. He mad been given every
honor by the people of Iowa and when
death came it was but a short time
after the people lad given the strong
est testimonial of their appreciation
of his worth by renominating him to
the highest Office within the gift of
the state.
The country appreciated Allison's
worth while he lived. He was given
place at the head of the most i'm
portant committees in the country s
highest legislative body. And he was
given credit the country over for be-
ing the guiding spirit, the .father Of
the senate"
Senator Allison's first conspicuous
service to his country was his valiant
work for the nomination of Lincoln in
1850. With other party leaders he
joined in carrying forward the fight
Tor Lincoln, and by united effort the
Jesuit was attained. During the early
days of the Civil war he was a mem
Der of Governor Kirkwood's staff
which raised troops for the Civil war.
When he went to congress for his
first term in 1863 his ability was at
once recognized and he was given a
place on the ways and means com
mlttee, the most important of the
house. He was from the first one
OF the leaders in planning and carry
Ing through the great measures for
the conduct of the civil war, the re-
establishment of the national credit
and the development of the national
resources.
In the senate, which he entered in
1873, his service was even more
marked. He held the record beyond
all others for length of service in the
senate, and for the last quarter cen
tury he had been a leader in fact as
well as in name.
Senator Allison was honored by
Iowa, but he repaid the debt in the
honor he brought to the state by his
services for the nation.
