DIR. FELLOWS DEAD
Eminent Educator and Oldest Metho-
dist Minister in Iowa, Passes Away
at Iowa City, Today-lnstituted the
Normal Course for Teachers.

Special to Times Republican.
Iowa City, June DR. Stephen N.
Fellows, the oldest Methodist minis
ter in Iowa, former presiding elder
of the Upper Iowa conference, and
for many years professor of philos-
ophy in the State University Of Iowa,
died this morning.
DR.. Fellows was born May 30, 1880,
in North Sandwich, N. III. His early
educational advantages were meager,
and at the age of IS, he entered Rock
River seminary, at Mount Morris, ILL.,,
but for lack of means was unable to
continue his studies beyond the fourth
term. In 1851 he entered Asbury, now
DePauw University, Greencastle, Ind,
where he graduated with the degree
of A. B. in 1854. Previous to his
graduation he was made professor Of
mathematics and natural science at
Cornell College, Mt. Vernon, Iowa. In
1856 he Joined the Upper Iowa con-
ference of the NJ. e. church,, and in
1860 resigned his professorship and en-
tered the ministry, having charge Of
churches at Dyersville. Upton, Lyons
and Marshalltown. In 1867, by a
unanimous vote, Dr. Fellows was
elected principal of the normal de-
partment of the State University of
Iowa, holding that position 20 years.
When he began his work, the state had
neither made provision for any higher
normal course nor planned to do so,
but DR.. Fellows recognized the need of
this higher education of teachers, and
it was largely thru his influence that
the standard of the department was
raised. In 1873, thru his efforts, the
elementary normal department was
formed and became the chair of di-
dactics, and united with that of mem
tai and moral science. For six years
this was the only chair of didactics In
any American college or university.
DR.. Fellows was president of the State
Teachers association in 1869 and 1872.
In 1871 he received the degree of Doc
tor of Divinity from Cornell college.
In 1891 he was a delegate to the
Ecumenical Methodist conference at
Washington, and in 1893 was a mem
Der of the advisory council of relig-
ions at Chicago. He was leader in
organizing the Indian Rights associa-
ton of Iowa.

tune of $2,225,00 is tied up in Idaho

some day be worth $200.000,000. Work

home calling for $1,500,O0O of an in

the home was announced for sale.

Des Moines, June Authorization
from over the state, received here, is

Up to noon in many precincts there
had been but five to ten democratic

DoLLlvER FOR SECOND PLACE,
Iowa Senator Being Urged as Means
of Defeating Fairbanks.

Especial Washington Correspondence
Washington, d. c., June 2.-Eastern
papers give prominence to report that
Senator Dolliver, of Iowa, is going to
be pushed as the western candidate
for the vice presidential nomination. 1t
is said that western people are anxious
to get one man from west of the Mis-
sissippi on the ticket. The east is con-
sidered too strong for Taft to be
named with New York man for vice
president. Representative Segerman
has been regarded recently as a leading
probability for vice president, aside
from Fairbanks, who has the senate in
his support. 1t is intimated that Dol
liver is sprung in order to divide the
senatorial support and make it posi-
BILE to defeat Fairbanks.

Gilbertson's Claims.
G.. S. Gilbertson, manager OF the
Cummins' campaign. gave out the fol-
lowing statement:
"Governor Cummins will have $4,000
majority for senator in Tuesdays pri-
mary. In all the northern counties
Of the state his friends will give him
the usual majorities, and he has made
\
counties of the state. Especially in the
First and Eighth districts, the senti-
ment has been turning strongly to-
ward him and his vote in counties
where he has previously had no dele
gates will be surprisingly large. In
Des Moines and the Seventh district
the majority for Cummins will aston
ish his enemies.
Reports from all parts of the state
show that the progressive lines are
we'll formed, that there is intense in
terest in the issues involved and the
voters are ready to act. The credit
for this is almost wholly due to Cum
Minis himself, for he has addressed
125 meetings and has faced at least
100000 Iowa voters this year.
while the opposition to Cunlmins
has been one of personal attack and
abuse Cummins has conducted a dig

Harrisburg, June 2.-Judge Kunkle
today refused to take the capitol con-

defendants will therefore stand trial.
The decision of Keen is a disappoint-

Immediately after the ruling of the

defense. He said he spoke for all the

falsity in the measurements of the

Des Moines, June with Governo,
Cummins claiming that he will have
at least $4,000 majority for United
States senator In the republican pri-
mary today and Senator Allison's
friends claiming $4,000 majority, the
chances greatly favor the governors
nomination and the defeat of the SEN
Tor senator.
Estimates of the outcome are of such
varied character and the fact that
& there is no basis of comparison, be-
cause this is the first trial of the Iowa
{ primary election law, convince careful
men that claims put forward by the
managers of Senator Allison in some
cases are oversanguine. The average
Of the estimates made by both sides
! is convincing that the contest is ex-
tremely close and If it goes either
way by more than few thousand
most Of the conservative politicians
will be surprised. Bets were offered on
both sides and taken even disclosing
tnat the politicians who were talking
big majorities had no genuine conf
dence.
Much depends on the size of the
vote. Roosevelt had 100000 in 1904.
The average republican vote on state
OFFICERS has been about 100000. Ninety
per cent Of the vote is expected to be
polIed today. Each side Is anxious that
the farmers should vote, each claiming
q majority of them.
Senator Allison's return to Dubuque
for the last day of the campaign had
no effect on the situation. His failure
to return during the campaign and the
substitution of Senator Dolliver to
speak for him has called attention to
the chief claim Of the opposition, that
Allison's great age-he is 79-should
be taken into consideration in elect
ing him for . seventh term Of six
years
The contest presents a clearcut fight
between the progressive republicans,
led by Governor Cummins, and the
standpatters, led by the interests
which have opposed reform legislation
and which backed Senator Allison as
the strongest candidate against Cum
minis. They are fighting against Cum
Minis and not for Allison.
