and the second in succession in four
teen minutes and fifty seconds by the
same means. The work was clean and
fair, and highly satisfactory to the au-
dience, who were evidently largely in
sympathy with the home man. The
audience was not so large as on the
two previous occasions, but was far
more demonstrative, and the Wrestlers
were evidently spurred on to do their
best work. Two preliminaries preceded
the main match, Brinley and Young,
two lads Of Grinnell, working twenty
minutes and forty seconds for a draw
in the first bout, and each winning
fall in the two succeeding bouts. fol-
lowed by two bouts between GRADER

GRADER winning in both cases in ten

WEBSTER COUNTY BIRTH RATE
Total for Past Year Is 277 Males and
299 Females.

Special to Times-Republican.
Fort Dodge, June 2.-If all Of the
counties in the state of Iowa have
done as we'll as has Webster. there
will be little grounds for fearing race
suicide in the Hawkeye state, the re-
port of the various township assessors,
which have just been filed with County
Clerk Bryant, showing that during the
past year SIS babies were born in the
county, 277 being males, and 299 fe-
males.
Figuring the population Of the
county in round numbers at $4,000, and
the number of births at 600, one child
has been born in the county to the
average Of each fifty-eight in popula-
ton. However, this ratio has not been
maintained in this city, in that but 200
children were born, or one to every
eighty in population.

and the more he talked the worse
he has made it for Allison.
The last break the Allison people
made was the claim that a late picture
CT Allison taken by Harris & EW-
ing, of Washington, was fake, had
been doctored to make him look old,
and finally thatsit was not picture of
Allison at all, but was a picture of
Senator Plat, of New York, who is
not as old as is Allison. Finally they
circulated a picture Of their own
which they claim is genuine and
which makes the aged senator look
even older than the picture which
they claim is fake.

And Still They BIundered.

One of the biggest plumbers they
. made was the claim that Judge Blair
and not Governor Cummins was the
attorney who won the barb wire fight.
This was so manifestly a manufact-
ured campaign fabrication that it was
not circulated with any very great in
tensity.
H. B. Hedge, of this city. told the
other day the real story Of the barb
wire fight and he ought to know for he
was a member of the firm of Hedge &
Baker which hired Cummins to take
the case.
The engaging of Cummins to fight
that case was more or less of an &C
cident," said Col. Hedge today. I'VE
went to the firm that was composed
of Judge Wright and Tom Wright and
Cumnlins. Both the Wrights said they
were too busy to take the case and
suggested that we hire Cummins. We
We're little doubtful because Cum
minis was but a young lawyer then and
had just come to the state. We talked
to him, however, and soon became con-
WINGED that he was the man we
wanted.
"Cummins went into that fight and
will venture to say that today Cum
Minis could tell me more about our ma
chinery for manufacturing barb wire
than / knew at that time. He mas
tered the whole matter. He became so
thoroughly acquainted with barb wire
manufacture that he knew the reason
and purpose of every bolt and screw
and twist We went down to Keokuk
- I'D 1n(N ~
and Judge Love and we offered to give
Cummins the assistance of other at
torneys. He declined and when we got
to keokuk we found an array Of law
yers against him with helpers to look
up legal references and all that.
There was not time from the be-
ginning of that trial to the end but
what Cummins could have gotten ten
dollars for every one we paid him If
he had gone over to the barb wire
trust. Later on S. NJ. Ellwood, of the
barb wire trust, told me that after
they got into the fight they realized
the advantage we had in having Cum
minis as our attorney. He told me they
tried everyway to hire a lawyer that
could match Cummins and failed and
claimed 1t was for that reason that
they lost their suit"
Since Governor Cummins has been
in the governors chair, State Treas
urer Gilbertson brought him an offer
from Denver of $4,000 for the first
year, $4,000 for the second and $4,000
for the third if Cum1nins would resign
from the governors chair AND come
to Denver to enter law firm there.
Governor Cummins refused that offer
to remain in the governors chair and
fight some battles for the people at
salary of $4,000 a year and during all
that time has been subjected to the
petty attacks of petty newspaper pol
iticians who charged that for every
day he has been outside of his office
at the state house he should turn back
money to the state.
1t is believed by many politicians
that the wet weather of this spring is
a prcvidential stroke to the progress
i've cause if not to the farmers direct,
for ii. they are unable to work In the
fields they will come to the polls and
vote.

ana prominent member of the Elks
lodge, the Elks clubhouse on State

struction by fire at 1880 O'clock this
morning.
MI irwin happened to glance from
the phone building to the clubhouse at
the time stated and noticed smoke issu-
ms from the roof of the building. He
did not wait to investigate, but unhesi-
tatngly turned in a fire alarm. The
department responded quickly. all the
apparatus from headquarters rushing
70 the place. Had irwin waited to in
Vestigate the chances are that the IN
per floor of the building and perhaps
the entire structure would have been
enveloped in flames In a few minutes.
Ihe fire was caused by burning SCOT
falling upon some canvas on the roof
The roof is covered with tin and that
became red hot from the burning cam
vass and set fire to the woodwork in
the attic.

raised In one minute and 80 seconds
from the time it stopped in front OF

In lighting the fire but a line of hose
from the chemical engine was run up
the ladder and hand chemicals were al
so used. considerable portion of the
roof was chopped open to permit the
tte lighters to get to the flames. After
about half an hours work and fire was
eXtinguished. The principal damage
was done by the chemicals seeping
through the roof into the library and il
Is estimated by Secretary Raybould
that the damage will amount to prob
ably $1,000.
The building and contents are fully
insured policies being carried In 10
companies. The building is insured

AT first 1t was thought the fire had
been caused by defective wiring, but
after 1t was learned that burning SCOT
caused the blaze. One of the wits
about the club said that the fire was
caused by the Elk's Booster which, he
said was such "hot number" that IL
set fire TO the building. 1t Is a coin
cidenee that the Booster was delivered
AT the place about 10 minutes before the
