SEARCH WILL
Be Renewed
WHEN RIVER FALLS ANOTHER
SEARCH WILL BE MADE
FOR EILER BOY.

Henry Eiler stated this morning that
just as soon as the river receded u
little more a search would be renewed
to find some trace of his missing s.
year old son George Eiler, whom
it is thought was drowned in the
river while wading in the stream. He
was last seen Tuesday evening, May
26, wading in the river at the rear of
SIMPSONS blacksmith shop since then
no trace of him can be found although
the banks along the stream has been
dragged with grab hooks and the
vicinity throughout searched. 1t IS
thought by some that his body may
be under a drift which has formed
near the place where he was last seen
wading. and as soon as the water falls
sufficiently, work will be started
searching the drift, although his father
is inclined to think that he was wash
ed to deep water and down the strearl.
A reward of $50 is offered for any one
finding the body.

RIVER NOW AT
Y FOOT MARK
PEOPLE ON MYRTLE AND BAsHAW
STREETS REPAPERING AND
REPAINTING.

Scrubbing and repapering and paint
Ing is now going on in several of the
homes on Myrtle and Bashaw streets
and in several of the homes in Cen.
trail addition since the lowering of the
high water which had compelled
them to seek higher places. The riv-
er is now receding several inches a
day. The water is now at the 11.2
foot mark at the Market street bridge,
which is the lowest it has been since
Thursday, May 28.
Some are predicting more rains and
claim that the river will go even
higher than it was Friday, May 80,
but the general opinion is that the
high water is now over and there need
be no fears of another flood this
spring. The ball ground is now dry
and in few days work will be start
ed to remove the coat OF mud which
was left by the water. There was no
current through the grounds and it
is thought that in a few days the
grounds will be in good shape for ball
playing. No attempt will be made to
clear the grounds until the weather
Is settled as 1t is almost impossible to
remove the mud until it has been
dryed by the sun. Aside from the
damage done to the flooded houses by
water and mud the damage in South

ALLISON CARRIED WAPELLo
COUNTY BY sse MAJORITY

An error in the returns from
one Of the city wards shows that
Allison's majority In WapeiIo
county was 839. The official re-
turns will probably show other
slight changes, but Il is thought
the change will not be sufficient
to pull the majority in the coun-
ty below 300. At the Allison
headquarters in Dubuque the
claim Is made that Senator ALI
son carried the state by 10000.

Twenty-Five Votes at state.

Alabama Is entitled to TWENTY-FIVE
delegates in the national convention
and two sets Of delegates Taft and
uninstructed-are arrayed in contest.
By tonight the contest will be decii-
ed, and while the result is by no
means essentially vital in the deter
mipation of the fight between the
Taft and anti-Taft forces, the settle
ment of this case will go far toward
clarifying situation that has many
elements of exciting interest at this
particular stage
With everything on the surface in
dicating the nomination of Taft on
the first ballot taken by the conven-
ton, the fact remains that the "allies"
have not given up the fight. They are
bending every effort to win the first
contest before the national commit
tee, which makes up the temporary
roll for the big show.
II the 'sallies" score their point it
will be made the basis of a renewed
movement to undermine the existing
Taft strength. The 'aliies" hope. if
successful, to scare from the Taft
band wagon certain delegates now
counted upon as supporters of the
secretary Of war. The Taft managers,
without relinquishing any of the con.
fidence earned through the prelimin-
ary struggle in the states and dis.
tricts. are mindful of the prestige their
opponents will claim from victory in
the first skirmish before the national
committee and realize that it might
affect some weak-kneed followers.

CONDITIONS " TENNESSEE.

Defeated in the contest for gov
ernor, Senator Carmack returned to
his first voeation-that of journal
ism. for which he was in many re-
spects admirably fitted. Here he
was daily undermining the power of
the Democratic machine. Tennessee
had an illustration or the power OF
an unfettered press in the hands of
an able, ineorruptible. undannted
friend of the people whose faith in
popular government was mistaken
even in the face Of the dominion Of
a party machine.
No murder has ever been done
with less excuse than that given by
the friends Of Mr.. Cooper for his
threats against Senator carmack.
The editorial at which Mr. Cooper
says he took great offense has in it
not a line nor a word nor an impli-
cation to justify the tone Mr. Cooper
took demanding that his name Dc
left ont Of the columns Of the Ten
nesseoan.
There was no reason for leaving
Mr.. Cooper's name out OF any dis
cussion Of any public question in
Tennessee. Though he was not him
self an Office holder, though he had
none OF the responsibility that comes
from carrying a party commission
he was back OF the office holders and
he was writing party commissions
He was the most active influence II
Tennessee politics. making and un
making combinations and alliances
and policies and bringing together
E the forces that control elections.
The first duty of an American
journalist is to go behind the shan
of party platforms and party orga
nizations, TO the influences that us'
these devices for ruling the Ameri
+ can peOnle in eDita Of themselves
showing the people what influences
are putting party machines in mo
ton.
Senator Carmaek went back of the
mere nominees of the party, to Its
paymasters, the liquor interests, and
10 its leaders, the organizers of con
ventions and precinct committees.
The retention of the control OF
