PICNIC FOR THE PUP.
His Devotion to Duty Rewarded by
Strange Luxuries.

A Boston bulldog owned by George
H. Clapp was so determined to cap
ture woodchuck which he had chased
into its den that he followed after and
staid in the hole all night.
When the dog had got his jaws
about the enemy he found that he
could not get out owing to the small
size of the animals hole.
Rather than lose his prey the dog
retained his hold on the woodehuek
over night, and was helped out by his
master in the morning. The dog was
nearly exhausted. and revived after
feeding and drinking in a curious man.

When the little Man Scored.

A meek-looking little man with a
large pasteboard box climbed on the
car. As he did so he bumped slightly
into sleepy, corpulent passenger with
a sclfsatisfied look and two little
dabs of sidewhiskers. AS the car
rounded a curve the box rubbed
against him again and he growled:
This is no freight car, is it?"
Nope" returned the meek little

L. K. Arnold and Family Forced to
vacate Home.

Des ,Moines, Sept. 9.-For the past
three days, survival of the fittest
waged between the family Of Louis K.
Arnold. of Southeast Ninth street and
AN invading family of polecats has
resulted in victory for the near-pus-
sizes and the family have been forced
to seek another residence while the
four-footed victors revel undisputed in
their slightly odorous quarters.
The family OF skunks invaded the
Arnold residence last Thursday and
took UP their residence under the
storm kitchen at the rear of the house.
Detecting their lair, Mr.. Arnold sent
his dog under the kitchen to rout them
and the dog obeyed. He Immediately
emerged and has not been seen around
the house since. Emboldened by their
success with the dog, the animals
moved again this time into the cellar,
where Mrs. Arnold discovered them
much to her dissatisfaction. None OF
the family care to dislodge them and
the place grew so odorous that the
Arnolds moved all their valuable
household goods and the skunks are
maintaining guard over the rest. There
are two old ones and four young ones
lin the family and Mr. Arnold offers q
rewards to any one who can succeed
in capturing his unwelcome guests.

this As the explanation or not, the
fact was evident last night that the
trend toward Evans was very marked
and it was being encouraged by ele-
ments that have not been permitted In
recent years to choose the judges.
at had become evident yesterday
that it must be either William H. Ber-
.ry or Robert Healy that would defeat
the Evans movement. Berry has the
strategic advantage and generally
stands better among the lawyers. tho
nobody who knew him would question
Healy's ability. But Berry is better
known over the state and all that Is
known of him is favorable. The Polk
county contingent is for McHenry.
but only in perfunctory way. and on
the side it is admitted that McHenry
stands no show whatever.
There has been some talk of an eff
fort to have the state convention adj
wise the legislators as to their duty
to the party. 1t is not likely this VIII
be done. Each side is afraid to make
the first move. But among great
many of the delegates the feeling Is
strong that the state convention ought
to urge party regularity and party
harmony as a step toward party sue
cess. The state committee may take
8 hand and at least do something
to make it plain that bolting is not re-
garded as a political virtue to be re-
-warded by elevation to high office. 1t
will be very hard to keep the con-
vention from taking some action If
the matter is sprung by either the
regulars or the revc!ters.

PETITION TO KING

Procession Of Catholic Societies, Next

a. He Did Former One.

London, Sept. a number of
Protestant societies which recently pc
titioned King Edward not to receive
Cardinal Van Nutelli, president of the
nineteenth annual international eu-
claristic congress, which convenes in
Westminster cathedral tonight, have
telegraphed his majesty at Doncaster.
requesting him to az the home Of
flee to forbid the procession Of Cath
olic societies to be held Sunday, in
honor Of the blessed sacrament, on the
ground that it likely would cause riot
ing, and even bloodshed. His majesty
ignored the former communication
from the societies, and it is not likely
he will answer this one. Roman
Catholic ecclesiasts gathering in
London for the conference, altho
looked upon with some curiosity, have
everywhere been treated with respect.

BREAKS ALL RECORDS.
Wrights Aeropiane Makes Sensational
FLIGHT at #, Mercer.

Washington, Sept. 9.-Anotfer record
breaking aeroplane fight was made by
5Orville Wright at Fort Mercer, today.
He circled above the parade grounds,
fifty-eight times, and was in the air
81 minutes and 81 seconds.
the speed approximating thirty-six to
thirty eight miles an hour. It Is stated
that this breaks all previous aeroplaue
records.
Wright expressed himself as highly
pleased at what had been accomplished
by his machine and declared that had
he known he was SO close to being in
the air an hour he would have re-
mained that much longer. He said he
came down because his motor slipped
once or~twice and that he thought he
had only been in the air for a half
hour. He promptly announced that he
would make another attempt later in
the day. Except for the slipping of the
motor no trouble whatever was ex-
.perienced in working the aeroplane.

Duluth, MINI, Sept 9.-It waS =
night Of terror on the range, and one
of deep anxiety in Duluth, but this
morning conditions appear to have
changed for the better.
Yesterday afternoon and last night
fires threatened half dozen larger
towns on the range. Persistent efforts
of citizens in stamping out bush fires
and wetting down fields have prevent
ed the flames from spreading. and the
towns are for the present safe. This;
morning the wind is reported to be iy-
ing down and sthe fires gradually burn
ing themselves out, altho the danger Is
not yet passed. 81.
The most dramatic incidents OF the
entire fire promise to develop around
Grand Marais. The United States gum
boat Gopher, carrying fifty members OF
the naval militia, left last night for
Grand Marais to the rescue OF settlers
along the north shore. The little vllr
lage is entirely shut OFF from wire
communication and it will be twenty
four hours at least before anything is'
heard from them.

FREED CONVICT FoRFE,Ts bond
Man Pardoned by Roosevelt Dodsss
Trial for Gamhiina..

Kansas City, Sept 9.-"My husband
is not in the city, and, anyway, he does
not wish to talk about this matter any
further" said Mrs. William January
when a visitor called at the January
home, 1117 Holmes street, to talk to
the man about his recent arrest for
running gambling game.
January is also known as Charles
w. Anderson. He was pardoned from
the United States prison at Leaven-
worth July 10, 1907, by President
Roosevelt. after being returned there
after escaping from prison eight years
before.
Saturday night the police raided a
gambling game in a room on East
Twelfth street and arrested January
as the keeper and six frequenters. Jan
uary, under the name of John w.
Smith, gave bond for $51 and was re-
leased. He insisted that he had been
engaged only in a friendly game OF
cards. When the case was called, in
police court January did not appear.
Neither did the other six. One hundred
and forty seven dollars in bonds was
forfeited. Mrs January would not say
where her husband had gone nor when
he would return.

filed by the men who did not stand by
their party caucus were strikingly
similar and most of them were evil
dently written on the same typewriter.
Just who was the author of the bunch
was not disclosed. They all apologized
for the bolt or revolt in the party. They
will go into the record. Those who
voted the caucus nominees, republicans
and democrats alike, did not file ex-
plantations.
A good many years ago in a repub-
lican legislative caucus William Lar
rabee, then governor of the state, was
voted for by a large number OF repub-
lican members. He was not a candi-
date, but a great many wanted him to
go to the senate because they felt that
men of his kind were needed there. The
votes cast for Larrabee at that time
were without his consent or conniv-
ance He Immediately advised his
friends and all who had shown con-
fidence in him to vote for the caucus
nominee, to be republicans, to stand
for party harmony and party regular
ity Now some of the legislators have
voted for Larrabee without his knowl-
edge or consent Will they follow his
advice and cease to be bolters?
The fact that Frank jackson has
been resurrected and got more votes
for the senate than did Congressman
Haugen, shows how much the Fourth
district congressman is beloved of the
t,olters. Haugen got no more votes
than did Perkins or Trewin or Baker.
1t is plain now that Walter I. Smith Is
going to be the standpat candidate for
the senate, just as 1T was planned
year ago he was to be and as his
newspaper then announced.

supreme court Of the District of Col

a jury and not by Justice Gould alone.
Most Of the specifications in the petit
ton relate to the publications in the
American Federationist, the official
organ of the federation, of which Com
pers is editor, and to public addresses
made by him, and his response Is OF
much greater length than those Of
Mitchell and Morrison. both of whom
profess Ignorance as to the majority
of the utterances quoted For the most
part, Gompers admits the correctness
of the quotations from his speeches. in

that none OF them were intended to be
in contempt of any decree of the court.
Judge Gould decided to appoint an
examiner to take the testimony and

Ten Yards Of Corset Strings VIII HelF

- " 9sl ~
New York, Sept. s.-Corset strings
ten yards long and short gloves are the
two features of this seasons styles
that are actually established, accord
ing to Miss Elizabeth White, president
of the Dressmakers' Protective associ-
alton, who talked on new fashions to
800 dressmakers from all parts of the
country at the opening season OF the
associations convention in Masonic
Temple last night.
Miss White exhibited something like
forty Paris gowns, alls different, and
when anyone asked her which was the
latest style, her invariable reply was:
"They all are.
"There never was season when the
STYLES were so unsettled and change
able. In fact, we'll dressed, woman
can wear anything. this year except
sheath gown.
"The sheath gown is not stylish"
she added.
.'Only one characteristic prevails In
all this seasons styles. That is the
extremely long sleeves, covering the
hand. The short gloves is the thing Of
course. AS to the new corsets-wel,
they are adapted to making the figure
resemble telegraph pole. For that
purpose they are extremely long and
it takes ten yards of string to lace
them properly
"A slender woman can wear them.
Stout women can not entirely eliminate
their curves-they must simply do the
best they can"
Many new fabrics were shown on the
models. Velvet and silk predominated
and Miss White said those would be
the principal fabrics used. Among the
styles was one that looked like a pr.n-
cess. but really was made in two
pieces. That was the kind Miss White
herself wore.

Des Moines, Sept. 9.-The house
adopted the house primary bill, SO to
q, Hambleton, Of Mahaska, being the
only republican voting in the negative.
I'm the house, Offill introduced a res
olution to adjourn on Friday to Nov.

1t immediate consideration. Miller, of
Bremen, offered substitute to adjourn
on Friday, sine die. Millers substitute
was defeated, 80 to So. Swift, Of
Shelby, offered an amendment which
amounted to the same thing as Mil
ler's resolution, which was defeated AZ
to 62. On motion of Harding the Offill
resolution was changed to Nov. 16, and
on motion Of Moore, of Linn, clause
declaring to meet again without ex-
pense to the state was adopted vive

defeated by vote of % to n.
Senate Debates Primary.
In the senate the senate primary
bill was debated all forenoon. Gilli-
land offered an amendment to pro-
hibit all who voted at the last pri-
mary for any other party from having;
a ballot, which was adopted. Saunders
offered an amendment making the.
affidavit read Tin sympathy with the,
party instead of "in general sym.
pathy," which was adopted. Dun
ham then offered an amendment re-
quiring that the vote be not counted
unless the regular ballot shows votes
for a majority of the presidential elect
ors and majority of state officers. This
was debated until noon, when the SEN
ate adjourned to 2 o'clock.
Democrats Forestall Standpatters.
The democrats forestahed the stand
patters in their chief argument on the
primary bill. Both Senators DaWolf
and Moon based their, chief argument
on personal and gross abuse of Gov
ernor Cummins. Moon quoted, or pre-
tended to quote, from what Dolliver
said in OttumWa, when he is said to
have denounced the republican gov
ernor of the state as ia political
fraud" and similar endearing terms.
Moon repeated these with great relish
and then added few of his own. Both
of the democratic senator's insisted
that the sole purpose of the special
session was the ambition of one man.
They conveyed the idea that the leg
islature has no duties whatever and
that all responsibility rests with the
governor. They showed the bitterest
of feeling toward the governor and in
dicated very plainly that the demo-
cratic resentment toward the pro-
gressiyes of Iowa is overmastering.
The speeches were taken to indicate
that there lis possibility of revival
of the democratic standpat alliance OF
two years ago in an effort to turn the
wheels back. Inasmllch as some of the
stanlpat members had planned to at
tack Cnmmins along the same lines
it may be embarrassing to them to
merely follow the democratic lead.
Representative Holmes arrived in the
CITY from the west yesterday after
noon and will take part in the delibera-
tions He had been west on account
