NO WEDDING FOR HIM
Came All the Way From Illinois
on Wild Goose Chase.

Not long since man from Illinois
got off the noon train at the Burllng-
ton station, and after several bashful
ventures he called the bus driver to
one side and asked him If he knew
where certain lady lived. To ask
bus driver where anyone lives is like
consulting dictionary. That is what
they are hired. for; so the blushing
man of fifty was taken to his destlna-
ton.
According to the story told by the
man to passengers on the train. he
was coming to Oskaloosa to claim
bride. He said he had correspondent
with his intended for several months,
and that he had exchanged photo
graphs and had become engaged. He
also said he was farmer of consider
able means.
Some one had evidently put up
job on the man, as the woman knew
nothing of his intended visit, and
when he arrived at the house and
tried to make his mission known,the
woman slammed the door in his face
The man stood on the porch several
minutes in q bewildered condition.
Then he sorrowfully wended hiss way
back to the Burlington depot where he
purchased ticket and boarded the
evening train for his home in Illinois.

Abba Union: With the Iowa dem
ocrats voting for Cummins for the pri-
mary il behooves the Allison repub-
licans to put forth every effort from
now till the second of June to get
their friends at the polls. A hard
fight is on when it comes to working
against the combined efforts. of the
democratic party in the state and a
part of our own broken household. If
we want democracy to run the state
1t is better TO work for her open-hand
ed than under cover.

The Herald has been asked why
it suppressed the names of the young
men caught in a house of prostitution
the other night The Herald has done
nothing of the kind. If the young
men were arrested,they have not been
summoned to appear in any court of
record, and no fines have been inn
posed. There is no excuse for hold
ing girls and permitting young meL
to go free, but the Herald cannot pre-
vent this unfair practice. Its mission
is to give the news. But news of that
character cannot be made on hearsay
evidence. 1t is forced to abide by the
records and this is what it has done.

A NEeRo,s TRIBUTE.

The following letter to senator
Dolliver from representative colored
man is an eloquent tribute to lowa's
Grand Old Man, and one good reason
why negoes generally should be tor
Allison:
my Dear Senator Deliver: | am
glad to observe that you are taking a
deep interest in the election of that
grand old man of the Senate, the
Hon. Senator Allison, who for so many
years has, with such distinction, honor
and strength, represented the state OF
Iowa in congress M
aside from his position as one Of
the notable figures before the nation
because of his marked ability and
long years of service, he has special
claims for gratitude on all friends OF
humanity.
Through all the years he has stood
for the downmost man, and has al
ways been open to appeals for -.uman-
ity.
"Among other beneficent acts on
his part is the erection of the Freed
mems Hospital connected with How
ard University School of Medicine,
which we owe largely to his generous
efforts. For forty years the colored
patients have been cared for in old
wooden houses which were in a de-
caying condition. Under the inspira-
ton OF his leadership, congress appro-
priated 100000 for the building and
equipment of a hospital that is open
to all people without regard to color
from every state of the Union. and
where the best medical and surgical
treatment is available.
"As President o. toward University,
representing an alumni body of nearly
5000, | want to assure you OF our
deep interest in the election of Sena-
Tor Allison Yours faithfully,

TO FRIENDS OF. ALLISON.

To the Republicans of Iowa: AT
the Primary on Tuesday, June 2, the
record of William B. Allison will be
submitted to the republicans of Iowa.
1t Is the record OF the republican par
ty from Lincoln to Roosevelt.
Senator Allison is today the leading
member of the United States senate,
the chairman of4fts greatest commit
tee, and one of the most trusted and
helpful advisers of the President.
He has never attempted to promote
his own political fortunes by sensa-
tional or demagogic appeals. His
great usefulness and his high place in
the esteem and regard of the state
and nation have resulted from deeds
more than words. He has avoided all
bitterness of party factions and diyis-
ions, and has tried not to tear down,
but to build up.
He has stood fast by the good which
the past has secured to the nation, and
at the same time has sought earnest
Up, quietly, and in good faith, by. all
sure and sane methods, to mend, i'm
prove, and progress In all forms of
governmental action.
In all ways he has tried. with con.
.stantly increasing usefulness. TO serve
his party, state and nation.
AS he has done in the past, he will
do in the future.
If you approve the record of Sen
ator Allison, go without fail to the
Primary on Tuesday, June 2, and take
your neighbor with you, call for a re-
publican ballot, and place a cross
mark (X) in the space before William
B. Allison's name, which you will find
at the head of the ticket.
The polls win be open from 1900 a.
m. to 500 p. m. in cities, and else
where from 100 p. m. to 500 p. m.
Let nothing interfere with your at
tendance at the Primary. Remember
every vote counts.
Yours truly,
John T. Adams,
Chairman Allison Committee.

Now and then some one who is
anxious to keep something out of the
paper, approaches the reporter assign

look the matter and not report it to
the Office. Some go SO far as to offer
a bribe If the matter is kept quiet.
Such practices are the personification
of dishonesty and a crime against the
moral as well as the civil conditions
of society. They however usually
bring their own rewards, as the re-

reports received from over the state
from the correspondents of the state
horticultural department. None Of
the fruit has been damaged as much
as last year, in fact. So far as the
apples are concerned in the northern
part of the state they are not hurt par.

AFRAID oE The ISSUE.

The Oskaloosa Times says: THE
Herald and other republicans are
attempting to make political capital
out of the recent troubles in the city
The Herald has
done nothing of the kind. 1t has sim
ply published the news, given the facts
that have been made matter of pub
lie record. This is something the
Times has not the nerve or energy to
do. Instead it lodges the issue and
tries to justify itself by accusing
somebody else of doing what it is
afraid to do.
Further on it says:
with the untime4y and melancholy
death of the lamented VIM. Cricket
the responsibilityGof the democratic
party for the actions of the mayor of
Oskaloosa ceased"
Such statement needs no COM
ment. 1t only goes to show the pauc-

SOLONs SUBMIT
TO GOV. P|NDALL
ARKANSAS LEGISLATURE WILL
HAVE NO EXTRA SESSION.
QUORUM is NOT PRESENT
Members Of Both Houses Meet and
Recognize Acting Executives
Right 70 Revoke
te4 the Call.

Little Rock, Ark, May 19.-The
Arkansas legislature failed to convene
Monday in pursuance to aNcall issued
by Speaker Allen H. Hamiter, while
he was acting governor. and as the re-
suit there win be no extraordinary SEES
sion of that body.
Noon and afternoon sessions We're
held by members of both the senate
and house, but there was not quorum
at any of the four sessions. The house
at the close of the afternoon session
adjourned sine die. The senate met as
a mass meeting ST senators in the aft
ernoon and. adopting resolutions Fecog-
nizing Aching Gov. X. o. Pindall's
power to revoke Speaker Hamiter's
call for an extra session, agreed to
dispose and return home.
Pindali Feared the Senate.
Contrary to expectations no attempt
was made in the senate to elect new,
president of that body and thus insti-
tute an custer movement against Gov.
Pindall. However, the possibilities of,
a movement of that kind were So
great before the senate met that Gov.
Pindall, fearing such an, attempt, at a
minute or two before IL started to
leave his office for the senate cham
bel with the intention of presiding.
Previously he had declared that he
would not recognize the session as he
had issued a proclamation reyoking
the call Gov Pindall was stopped at
the Threshold of his Office by George
w. Donaghey of Conway, Democratic
nominee for governor, who advised
against him going to the senate cham
Der. Pindall accepted his advice and
returned to his Office. He did not go
near the senate chamber at either
meeting
The senate proceedings took up
nothing but the question of how to
properly adjourn.
Close Vote in the House.
The house displayed an inclination
to adjourn until quorum could be Sc
cured. There were AZ members pres
ent at the noon session and AZ at the
second. Fifty-one were required for a
quorum. Speaker Hamiter presided at
both sessions. The noon session last
ed but few minutes. The afternoon
session lasted fully an hour and a half
and during that time many of the rep
resentatives delivered more or less
spirited speeches in which different
views on the subject of an extra ses-
sion were expressed.
Between ten and IL o'clock a caucus
of 81 members of the house was held
at the city hall. The caucus was open
to all members and those participating
were not to be bound by the vote of
the caucus. Twenty-six voted to ad-
Journ sine die, after converting, and rs
voted against. Eleven of this total
also voted not to answer roll call.
Twenty-Five members of the senate

Pindall was present and made short
address in which he explained his rea-
sons for revoking the call.
