THOMAS JEFFERSON.

greatness of its simplicity is not to be
wondered at when taken into con-
sideration that it is from the pen of
the immortal Washington Irving,

lovable Joe jefferson, whose name

American public, and his son, Thom-

idea of doing anything of the kind, but

they still hope to show the best score

suits.

swINDLERs THRIVE At ALBA
Eye Specialists Secure $50 From Each
of Two Earmars

Eye Specialists Secure $50 From Each
Of Two Farmers.
Special to Times-Republican.
Abba, July 18.-Two Monroe county
farmers are out $50 each, because of
the clever swindle practiced by two
so-called eye specialists. The swim
at the New Monroe hotel, under the
names of D. P. Dyer and B. Benlis.
Going to local livery firm, they Sc
cured a rig and drove to the farms Of
Wesley Patterson and Herk Duncan.
Upon arriving at the Patterson and
Duncan farms, thsy gave out the
statement that they were eye spec
ialists and were informed that the
farmers were in need of treatment for
their eyes. The fact that both farm
ers are sufferers from an aff1iction of
the eye made the Introduction Of the
strangers perfect, however, to help a
good thing along and to make them
selves safe they produced a letter
bearing the signature of a local doctor,
T. E. Gruh.bs, in which they were
and Duncan as expert eye specialists.
AS result of the treatment and
advice furnished by the supposed
doctors, Patterson made a cash pay
ment Of $40 and signed a supposed
contract for the payment of $40 for
a term of treatment by the doctor.
Duncan paid no cash, but was no
better off than his neighbor as he
also signed what he supposed was a
contract for the payment Of $50 for
a series of treatments for his eyes.

Partnership Be Dissolved.

Cameron currie, of Detroit, Asks That
Partnership Be Dissolved.
Detroit, July 18.-The brokerage
firm of Cameron Currie and Company
today went into the hands of a re-
ceiver, thru a bill filled in court by
Cameron Currie against his partner.
Louis H. Case, asking dissolution Of
the partnership. Fred G. Austin was
appointed receiver, under bond of
$3.50, ,O0O 1t is said that no other De-
troit financial institution is involved.
Practically the only charge which
Currie makes in the bill is that Case,
in taking orders from customers, did
not secure enough cash to cover the
purchase of stocks and bonds by the
firm, and that the firm in this way be-
came obligated to others to the extent
Of about $1,00O,000.
In statement this afternoon, Currie
and Company declare that the ability
of the firm to pay it's debts, depends
wholly upon the amount of outstanding
accounts, amounting to over s1,000,000,
which can be collected. 1t is said that
the liabilities of the firm are anywhere
from 100000 to 100000.

ton meets.
There will be large field of candi-
dates. About thirty names had beer
suggested to Governor Cummins fot

In addition there will be a large
number OF others, probably, who viii

NO DECISION ON DALLAS.
Question Of Counting Vote Without
Returns Referred to Lawyers.

Special to Times-Repubiican.
Des Moines. July 1S.-The Hull
Prouty contest with reference to count
ing the primary election returns with
out the vote of Dallas county, which is
still up in the courts, has been re-
ferred to Attorney General Byers.
That is what became of the ques-
tion involved in an all forenoon hear
ing before the executive council and
all afternoon session of the members
of that distinguished body.
The question put to the attorney
general is this:
Does the primary law require the
executive council to canvass the re-
turns in the Seventh district with re-
spect to congressman before the fifth
Thursday following the date of the
conventions in the counties of the dis
.trict?"
That was the inquiry to which the
whole contest simmered down after a
half dozen attorneys and the execu-
tive council had thrashed over the
matter for eight hours.
1t involves the question of whether
the executive council is required by
the primary law to ignore Dallas coun-
ty in making up it's report on nomina-
tions made at the recent primary, Dali
las county having failed to send in its
returns.
1t is the contention of Judge Prouty
in the local congressional contest that
the executive council is required by
the law to determine before the fifth
Thursday following the county con-
hoc hapn nominated for
congress at the primary election of
June 2. And he contends that if any
county has failed to make returns to
the council as required by the law the
council must ignore it in making it's
canvass He fixes the fifth Thursday
after the county conventions, as the
date prior to which the executive
council must act and make it's finding
known because the primary law re-
uuires the congressional convention to
be held not later than the fifth Thurs
day following the county conventions.
On this proposition members of the
executive council are said to have been
in disagreement, yesterday. How they
are divided there is no knowledge out
side their own body. They listened to
Judge S. F. Prouty and Thomas A.
Cheshire, argue for the formers con-
tention as outlined. and heard Captain
Hull. w E. Miller and John G. Myerly
argue against it during about four
hours yesterday forenoon. And after
discussion of the question during four
more hours, referred the question to
the attorney general.
This does not mean, necessarily, that
if tho ATTORNEY general holds that the
council must proceed with the canvass
of the votes cast for congressional
nominees in this district. ignoring Dali
las county as long as it has no returns
on file, that the council will follow that
course 1t may.
An opinion from the attorney gen.
eral is not expected today.

eompers /. Denounced.

Chicago, July 1S.-Considerable
trouble is in store for President Sam
uel Gompers of the American Fedora
ton of Labor, according to local labor
leaders, because Of his enthusiastic
declaration in favor of Bryan's cause.
There are few members of the Chicago
Federation of Labor who care to brave
the wrath Of the national federation
head by openly opposing Mr. Gompers,
altho many Of them have expressed
private opinions on the subject which
are not exactly In accordance with his
views.
Their theory generally Is that the
federation is not political organiza-
ton and that Mr.. Gompers as presi-
dent Of that body was unWise in Of
dcially espousing the cause Of any
particular candidate.
Furthermore, there Is dissatisfaction
among the republican members OF local
labor organizations at the prospect of
Federation organizers, travelling on ex-
pense money furnished by themselves,
acting as Bryan spellbinders.
The Longshore.men's association, 8
union with more than 10000 members,
already has expressed itself as opposed
to the candidacy of Mr.. Bryan, be-
lieving that it would get better treat
ment from republican administra-
ton with Bryan at its head.
Daniel ]. Keefe, president Of the or
eanization and prominent in the work
OF the national labor organization, was
not in Chicago yesterday but he pre-
viously has expressed himself as being
Il. $ac
say that he will not express himself
on Mr.. Gompers' action in public.
Daniel Smith, Of the Switchmen's
union, and member of that organiza-
tion's grievance committee only would
say that he favored Mr.. Tafts candi-
dacy and would permit no labor leader
to dictate his political views.
"My political views are my own and
always shall be- said Mr.. Smith. Il
believe that the majority of thinking
men feel as do on this matter"
George Macy, of the Stereotypers'
union, could not find words strong
enough to express his contempt for the
promises held in the democratic plat
form, which apparently had called
forth Mr.. Gompers' expressions of ap-
proval.
They're all rot" said he "These
promises won't amount to whit more
than previous promises of like ma
ture. have lost faith in them and I
don't believe that anybody takes them
seriously. / can't see why we should
permit ourselves to be led to vote for
Q candidate just because of such
agreements as these. No labor unions
are going to be delivered in this way"
Equally strong were the expressions
OF other labor unionists, who look up
on their political views as thing
apart from their union cards. An offic-
ial Of the street car mems organization
declared that no member of that union
would be Influenced by Mr.. Gompers'
stand any more than he would by that
of any other fellow unionist.
"Mr. Gompers' views only are his
own" said this man. Every man in
every local in the American Federation
of Labor has the same right, however.
