Cannon INDICATED

Des Moines Capital: Hon. Joseph
G. Cannon, speaker of the national
house, is triumphantly reelected to
congress. His majority is greater
than it has been for a number OF
years The people of the Danville dis
trict are acquainted with Uncle Joe.
They have known him for fifty years.
They know him better than anybody
else knows him. He is plain, old
fashioned American and is not hypo-
critic It is singular that if Uncle Joe
Is and has been such a bad man that
he has the respect OF every man who
has ever served in congress during the
past thirty years. You cannot find a
congressman anywhere who does not
express loving admiration for old
Uncle Joe. Such esteem could not be
won by any artificial means The ma
ton has nothing to fear from such
men as Cannon. John Snure is al
ready worried in regard to what
Speaker Cannon may do, but it must
be remembered that John Snure is a
Democrat. Uncle Joe has been wor-
rying the Democrats more than thirty

Major John +. Lacey.

Oskaloosa Herald: Defeat is not
without its compensations. Messages
Of coincidence usually come from
nearer the heart than do the con-
gratulary missives sent to the cuccess-
full. Since the result of the primary
election on United States senator be-
came known Major Lacey has been
flooded with letters and kilograms
from friends throughout the state,
and the regret expressed was unmis-
takably felt by the senders.
One telegram, while wooded in a
lighter vein, Is nevertheless sincere,
and is inclined to brush away much
of the disappointment Of defeat 1t
came from the man who managed the
Allison campaign in Iowa 50 success
fully last spring and runs as follows:
Dubuque, Iowa, Nov. 4, 190s.-John
F. Lacey, Oskaloosa, Iowa: Anyhow
you carried every precinct in Dubuque
county with an average vote OF two
to one. JOHN T. ADAMS"
Major Lacey has every reason to
feel proud of the splendid race he
made during the short time allotted
to him for the work 1t Mas less than
six weeks after he was selected to
enter the contest until election, and
In that time he had to try and do that
for which Governor Cummins had
been at work upon for seven years
In his official life Major Lacey was In
Washington most of the time, and
he did not have the opportunity to
mingle with the people Of Iowa as
much as did his opponent, and he was
consequently not so well known tc
the rank and file of the party. Sia
weeks was too short a time in which
to do much mixing" with the people
hence the weakness of his canvass
The returns show that where he was
able to do any personal work it was
very effective, and there is every
reason to believe if he had six months
in place of six weeks in which to pre-
pare for the final test he might have
won out.
But results are as they are, ant
while Major Lacey is most grateful
for the help given him by his friends
I he has no stones to throw at those
who worked for Governor Cummdns
1t was fair and open fight and one
for which no one has any apologies tt
make. The opponents were equal,
worthy the efforts put forth in theil
behalf. And Major Lacey is still firm
in the faith to which he gave expires
sion when he said: Let no harm
come to the Republican party"

fro with any success as 1t seemed to
be deep down in the stack among the
baled straw. which is first stacked to
considerable heighth and is then
covered with loose straw.
The water pressure was not suffl-
Gent at first to throw the water on
top of the stack in several streams.
Nor could effective work be accom-
plished by doing so as the water would
run off and down the side of the
stack. The firemen then climbed on
top of the stack and by the use of
forks and hooks removed the loose
straw. This was dangerous work as
the fire would break through in places
and the flames and smoke would en-
yelope them making it very hazard
Gus work.
The fire communicated to the other
stacks west of the one where the fire
started and seemed to resist all the
efforts of the fire department to check
its spread. The flames seemed to
burst out from the interior Of the
stacks and the streams of water
thrown upon the straw did not reach
the fire but ran to the ground from
the outside. The steam fire engine
was on hand and assisted in throw
ing water on the fire.
The men from the Atlee mills with
Mr. Samuel Atlee in charge assisted
in removing the bales of straw from
the stack next to the one on fire. Men
from the Santa Fe railroad shops
also assisted with Mr.. Oman in charge
and a large amount of baled straw
was removed away from the reach OF
the flames.
How the fire started Is not known
In the several stacks there were
$500 tons of straw valued at $4,000
and it is estimated that the loss will
reach $4,000 with $4,000 insurance.
Fortunately there was not strong
wind blowing at the time, or the loss
would have been much greater.
The Silsby fire engine was brought
into play at about 10 o'clock and the
old reliable steamer did fine work
throwing two streams of water witt
great force. Altogether about dozer
streams of water were being thrown
on the fire this afternoon it will prob
ably require the services of the fire
men all night for several days tt
keep the fire from breaking out again
The Santa Fee came to the assist
ance of the firemen with 1000 fee
of hose and twenty-five men from thu
shops.

The EXPLOSION.

When Superintendent T. n. Cantril
of the canning factory noticed smoke
issuing from one of the big straw
stacks at the paper mill at about 8
o'clock this morning, he Immediately
notified the employees and all followed
him to the fire, short distance away,
to render assistance. They were cook
ing pumpkins at the time. Lloyd
Ming, who had charge of one of a
battery of retorts-steam boilers
weighing about ton each-failed to
shut off the stem before he left. In
a few moments terrific report was
heard
The retort had exploded. 1t blew
out through the side of the building
and striking the boards around a hot
bed about fifty feet away, turned over
and over, lodging in the field about 200
feet south of tie factory. The head of
the boiler blew out into the room and
struck an eight-inch post breaking
it but no great damage was caused to
the machinery. Fortunately there was
no one about the building or near it,
and there was nobody injured. A
number of girls stood directly in the
path of the flying boiler only few
moments before it exploded. Super
intendent Cantril states that the dam
age probably does not exceed $3.50
and considers it fortunate that nc
one was hurt.
