headquarters the committee is made
certain of the fact that the great mass
of voters who cast their ballots for
Senator Allison in June, 1908, did so
from principle and will vote for Major
Lacey because they realize he stands
for the principles which Allison repre-
sented The veteran soldiers are
unanimous for Lacey. They feel that
an opportunity is now afforded the
state OF Iowa to remember gallant
soldier with the honor of United
States senatorship, an honor which
has never before been conferred by
this state upon one of her citizen sol
der.
This is presidential year, and the
republican vote in November will un-
doubtedly be much larger than that
cast at the primary in June. Probably
there were 100000 republicans who
stayed at home in June who will vote
In November. Reports indicate that
a large percentage of this stay at
home vote favors Major Lacey, hence
~ uOSOiNCo upOu Iue OIL NdJOr
Lacey to see to 1t that workers are
at the polls to call the attention of
every republican to the fact that they
should sign request slip and ask for
a senatorial ballot to vote for Lacey.
There also should be challengers at
the polls to challenge every member
of any other than the republican par
ty who seeks to vote in the republi-
car primary for United States sena-
tor. The law as quoted above requires
that :. voter who is challenged must
make oath to the statements which he
has signed, and the judges of election
cannot refuse to administer such an
oath in case of challenge. A false
oath by any voter to his qualifications
to take part in the republican pri-
mary will subject him to punishment
for perjury, and the friends of Major
Lacey in every precinct should see
that the law is rigidly enforced.

What of the Buildings.

The faculty retains the real estate
which consists of the building low oc-
cupied by The Gate City. and the
large building on the corner of Sew

There is no doubt but what each of
these buildings will be placed upon
the market for sale and the people are
beginning to wonder who will buy
them.
The building on Sixth street would
meet ready sale on account of its
location and adaptability TO almost
any use, but the big building opposite

Encouraging Reports Come From All
Parts Of the state With Re-
ference to Candidacy
of Lacey.
FRIENDS ARE ACTIVE

tory is Certain If Support
ers See That the Vote is
Cast Next Tuesday.

LACEY HEADQUARTERS, DES
MONIES, Iowa, Oct 26.-To the Re
publicans of Iowa: Representing Ma.
1or John F. Lacey, republican candi-
date for United States senator from
the state of Iowa, We deem 1t fitting
that the republicans of the state
should be made acquainted with few
facts in regard to the situation.
The campaign for the nomination of
United States senator has reached a
stage when 1t is possible to forecast
the result with reasonable certainty.
Therefore the committee having in
charge the candidacy of Major Lacey
confidently announces to the republi-
cans of Iowa that from reports which
they have received from each county,
together with carefully compiled esti-
mates and polls, Major Lacey will un-
doubtedly receive a majority of the
votes of the republicans cast at the
primary to be held for the nomination
of candidate for United States SEN
ator in connection with the general
election on the 3rd day of November

election on the 3rd day of November
next.
Estimates Carefully Prepared.
In arriving at this conclusion we
have been governed by carefully
prepared. conservative estimates spec
tally made for this committee by men
of long experience in political matters
in three-fourths of the counties of the
state, together with information of re-
liable character from the remaining
counties. The information in the pos.
session of the committee warrants us
in claiming the success Of Major Lacey
by majority probably considerably
IN excess of that given Senator ALI
son in the primary last June, and it
leads us to urge the friends of Major
Lacey In all parts of the state to in
creased efforts in order that the vic
tory may not slip from their grasps.
We congratulate the republicans of
Iowa on this apparent triumph of gen
uine republicanism and ask everyone
who believes in the justice OF our
cause to be certain to do their whole
duty on election day.
The primary election will differ from
other primaries from the fact that In
order to be afforded the opportunity to
vote for candidate for United States
senator to succeed Senator Allison,
the voter must make written decla-
ration of his utilization with the repub-
lican party and his belief in the prin-
ciples of that party. There seems to
be in some parts of the state some
lack of knowledge relative to this pro-
vision OF the amended law. Every re.
publican therefore, should remember
that it is necessary to sign such dec.
laration, and he should also remem-
Der that 1t is just as much his duty to
mark the primary ballot in the square
opposite the name of John F. Lacey
and vote for him for United States
senator as it is to vote for the straight
republican ticket.

About Thirty.Five Thousand Workmen Killed and Two
 Million Injured.

Washington, Dec l4.-BetWeen ;O,OOO and 35,OO0 deaths and two million injured is the accident record in the United States during the past year among workingmen, according to a bulletin on accidents issued to- day by the bureau of labor. or those employed in factories and workshops it is stated that probably the most exposed class are the workers in iron and steel. Fatal accidents among electricians and electric linemen and coal miners are declared to be eX- cessiye, while railway trainmen were killed in the proportion of 1.46 deaths per one thousand employees.
 The bulletin declares that much that could be done for the protection of the workingman is neglected, though many and far reaching i'm provements have been introduced in factory practice during the last de- caQe

A CHARITY PATIENT.
The Price He Had to Pay For Expert
 Suruical Treatment.

The famous surgeon Velpeau was visited one day at his house during the consultation hour by a marquis renowned for his closeness. Velpeau informed the marquis that an opera tion was urgent and that the fee would amount to 4,000 francs. At this the
 marquis made a wry face and left. A fortnight later Dr. Velpeau, while mak- ing his rounds in the Hopital de la Charlie, had his attention attracted
 by a face that seemed familiar to him. In answer to his inquiry it was stated nobleman in the Faubourg St. Ger main. The surgeon found that his case resembled in every particular the somewhat unusual one for which the marquis had consulted him q fortnight previously. He refrained. however, from making any comments. Three
 weeks after the operation, when the patient was about to be discharged, Dr. Velpeau called him aside and e1- claimed: Monsieur l am extremely Battered and pleased to have been able to cure you There is. however 6 small formality with which you will have to comply before l can sign your exeat-that is, you will have 10 sign check for 10000 francs in behalf of the public charity bureau of your met

DOG TO RESCUE
His Barking Aroused Family i0 Time 10 Find Their Rouse
 on Fire
FLEDlN NIGHT CLOTHES

Baltic. Conn, Dec 14-Aroused by the barking of a small dog which they have been accustomed to keep in the house at night, the members of the family of II. A. FOntaine wakened early to-day to find their house in flames, and barely escaped in their night clothes, the house and it's furnishing beeing entirely con sumed. The fire communicated to buildings on each side of the Fon- taine block, and before the flames had been subdued the house of Mrs Elisa E. Cote had been burned to the ground and the whole of one side of the residence of Postmaster Buteau destroyed. In the case of the two latter buildings the occupants had sufficient warning to enable them 10 get out most of their be- lOngings. The cause of the fire is not known. The damage, it is esti- mated will be between $10,00O and SIP, 1000.
 The first floor of the Fontaine block was used as store and was conducted by MT Fontaine, who with his family lived on the second floor.
 The fire started in the store, but the origin is not explained. It was stated this morning that the store was closed Saturday night and no fire had been kindled there Sunday One corner of the Cote building, on the ground floor was occupied hy Frederick Girard, a candy dealer. The house had two tenants besides. The tiremen had some difficulty in fighting the blaze because their en- zine would not work properly and they had to lay hose to the river some distance away. In the mean time however help had been sum- moned from Norwich and the ctiy sent one fire steamer and crew.
 The scene of the fire is located on the square in the very center of the town. On the opposite side of the street is located the academy of the Holy Family but as this was some distance away it was not threatened at anytime.
 The alarm of fire given in the early morning hour created consid- erable excitement in the community and practically the whole of the pop ulatiOn was at the scene
 The fire was confined to the three building mentioned.

The tenants say that lhe students have had so much carrying on and have been making so much noise there is no peace TOT anyDouy else in the building. Saturday night the boys became so noisy that one or the tenants made a complaint to Ofil- cpr Richardson, who was on the beat. The fellows got wise to what was up and they instantly quieted down, leaving in short tme afterwards Yesterday afternoon the club nad another noise making session. The members carried on all the afternoon and finally one of the tenants called at the police station early last eVen- ing to lodge complaint with Chlef W. !. Rawlings. He said the stu dents were bowling, dancing and singing, and they told stories, which scandalized his wife and family. He said the society nau been lndklHS disturbances there for week, He
 informed the chief that w. l.. Hatch, the agent of the D. c. Judd Go, owners of the bloct, had had the club warned out, an1 that it's time would be up this noon. He thought the club was making the most of the short time thev had left. Chief Rawlings gave orders to the officer on the beat to keep watch out on any disturbance not to hesitate to go 10 the clubroom and stop it, and, if necessary, to clean the place out.

PATRONS SURPRISED

New York, Dec 14.-PatronS and employees of the five lines of ferry boats running from Broadway, Brooklyn to Manhattan borough found to their surprise this morning that the system had suspended oper- ations. No notice had been given but the affairs of the New York Ter minal Co, and of it's successor Will liam o. Madden, with relation to the operating of these trans-river lines had become involved in so much litigation that cessation of the ser vice was not wholly unexpected.
 The opeening of the Williamsburg bridge caused the beginning of the dwindling of the ferry passage and it long ago had fallen 10 a point where the lines were carried on at loss.
