HEARS OF THREE NEW WILL
LIAM HoWARDs.

Hot Springs, Va, Aug. 3.-Although
he kept his secretary and three steno-
graphers busy all day and into the
night handling replies to his heavy
mail, William H. Taft had compare
lively a care free day. He divided his
work with game of golf in the morn
ing and ride with Gen Corbin as
companion in the afternoon.
Colorado, wants Mr.. Tatt's presence
in September, according to an urgent
invitation which came today from the
management Of the interstate fair
and exposition to be opened Labor
day in Denver. AS the acceptance OF
the invitation would mean abandon
ment of Mr.. Taft's present plan to
out travel, his regrets were sent.
Three Miniature William Towards.
Three miniature William Howard
Tafts" have made dots on the political
and domestic horizon in New York,
Indiana, and Illinois, according to let
tiers from the proud parents to the
candidate, and each of the three will
get an autograph letter from the origi-
nal bearers of the name, and perhaps
something besides.
The Hoosier Taft was born, accord
ing to advices today, during the de-
livery of the Taft speech of accept
ance. The parents of the Illinois
William Howard chose the name
nearly year ago, but not for politi-
cal reasons, as their statement is that
the boy weighed 25A pounds at birth.
The New York baby is credited with
the real Taft SMILE" His father, a
pharmacist, writes: From the way
the youngster smiles every time
ask him if the Republican party is
going to win, feel sure you will be
our next president"
New Taft Clubs Formed.
New Taft clubs were reported from
New York City, Philadelphia, Beau
mont, Cal, Kendallville, Ind, Knox
vile, Tenn, (colored), East Orange
N. j., Middleton, o., Lanesboro, Mimi.
West Milton, Pa, Phoebus, Va, in
cinnati, o., and Woodstock. Va.
Many congratulatory letters on the
acceptance speech were received BY
Mr.. Taft. Mr.. Taft has not yet in
dictated whether reply will be made
to Mr.. Bryan's comments on the
speech.

lief that his denomination woul
strengthen the Republican ticket j

AT A LARGELY ATTENDED MEET
ING OF THE REPUBLICAN MEM
BERs OF WAPELEo co, BAR
RESOLUTIONS ARE PASSED.
HAS BEEN ON BENCH
FOURTEEN YEARS
SCHOLARLY Alta INMENTS,
LARGE EXTENSIVE PRACTICE
CITED AS EVIDENCES OF CAN
DIDATEs WORTH.

At a meeting, largely attended by
the Republican members of the Wa
pello County Bar association at the
office Of McNett & McNett today, reso-
lutionS were adopted endorsing Judge
M. A. Roberts as candidate for nom
ination to the vacancy on the supreme
bench of Iowa, caused by the recent
death of Judge Charles A. Bishop.
D. H, Emery was chairman and
Walter Coen, candidate for county at
torney, was secretary.
The resolutions adopted follow:
Resolved, by the members of the
Wapello county bar, in meeting as
heartily recommend to the Republican
state convention and to the people of
the state. the nomination of Hon. M.
A. Roberts of the city of Ottumwa, as
a candidate for the supreme court Of
Iowa, to succeed the late, lamented
Hon. Chas. A. Bishop, whose death
we deeply and sincerely deplore
Judge Roberts is now in his 14th
year, and in the middle of his fourth
term, as one of the judges of the dis
trict court of this judicial district, and
our intimate acquaintance with him,
both as neighbor, fellow citizen and
Judge, enables us to say, without quail
ification, and with perfect sincerity,
that he has given eminent satisfaction,
both to the people and bar of the dis
trict, in his administration of justice.
He is man of rich scholarly at
tainments, had large and extensive
practice before he was elevated to the
bench, and since he has occupied that
high and important Office, has con
stantly grown in the esteem of the
people, both of his district and of the
state. He has not only administered
the law with ability, but has been
fearless and independent in the admin
istration Of justice. 1t goes without
saying that he is man of the highest
moral character, lending his influence
under all circumstances, in favor OF
the best things.
We, therefore, unanimously com
mend him to the state convention, as
In every way well qualified for the
high judicial honors, which we seek
for him, and to which he aspires
Resolved further, that independently
of the personal fitness and qualiica
lions of Judge Roberts for the SUI
preme bench, that we also commend
him on what seems to us to be the
reasonable and fair claims OF the PEG
pie of the southeastern part of the
state, who, for many years past have
had no representative on the supreme
bench.
The foregoing resolutions were
unanimously and enthusiastically
adopted.

numerous quartz veins. This is known
as ablation. The quartz now seen in
the coarse detritus wherever it is turned
over in skim-diggings, ground sluicing,
etc., corresponds to the ablation of
quartz veins. AS but little of it is well
rounded, it can not have been carried
along the current from great distances.
The sands and fine gravels correspond
to the general surface of hills after
weathering and ablation.
Quartz is Promising.
81 have not seen many quartz or
other mineral veins, but several that l
have seen partially prospected seem to
me very promising.
"The future prosperity of this mining
district will largely depend on improved
