POISONS FOUND IN
BODY OF HORSEMAN

Stronger than ever became the
theory of murder in the death of
Samuel Gilmore. the well known horse
man, when an examination of the
stomach by City Chemist Frank Green
disclosed large quantities of arsenic
and other poisons yesterday. The
theory. however, is not absolutely
tenable, as the undertaken who pre-
pared the body used hardening pow
oers containing many Of the poisons
found in the stomach, and until
more detailed examination is made it
viii be impossible 10 state with GER
tainty> whether Gilmore came to his
death by poisoning or not.
The discovery OF the poisons, how
ever, was sufficient to convince Michael
Gilmore, brother Of the dead man. that
the latter had met with foul play, and
so convinced was he of this fact that
he offered reward Of $500 TO anyone
conclusiveiy proving his brother had
been murdered and $1,000 more for the
conviction Of the murderers. The coro-
ner's Office was notified of the result
Of City Chemist Green's examination
and Coroner Leland took personal
charge Of the medical end of the in
vestigation.
NO TRACE OF MONEY
Captain Kelly. chief of detectives,
pursued the investigation with re-
doubled vigor yesterday Detectives
Gallagher and Aaoltke were added TO
the force already on the case. but up
TO last night the lack Of anything
definite made the work difficult II
was. however, clearly established that
Gilmore was possessed of several
thousand dollars the day before his
death. no trace Of which has been
found
Careful investigation OF Giimore's
movements on the night he met his
death has strengthened the belief that
he did not die of natural causes as
was at first believed. Until after 10
o'clock Gilmore was IN Oakland trans
acting business.
MOVEMENTS ARE TRACED
An hour and a half later he was in
the neighborhood of Market and Brady
streets, and so far as can be deter
mined he did not leave that section
of the city until taken away in the
hospital ambulance the next morning.
Working on the theory that Gilmore
might have died from the results OF
a blow, Detectives Gallagher and
Moltke yesterday learned from James
Keleher, bar tender in Murphy's saloon.
where Gilmore spent a part of the
night, that blood stains had been seen
on the sidewalk near where Gilmore
was found. On neither the hospital
nor the morgue records can be found
anything showing that ~.lmore had
visible marks showing where a blow
had been struck. The investigation
will be continued today, while an
analysis of the embalming fluid used
IN preparing the body is being made
by the city chemist

J. A. Ballard, Candidate For
Auditor Presents Strong Appeal

J. A. Ballard, Republican candidate
for the Office of county auditor, is no
stranger to the voters of Ottumwa
and Wapello county He is a native
of this state. having been born in OF
tumwa October s, 1856, and has since
lived here except for three years
that he spent attending the Osceola
institute in Osceola, Ind From 1878
to 1885 Mr.. Ballard taught school in
Ethe White Oak and Center schools in
Polk townships and the Star school
In Center township In 1886 he was
married to Lizzie J. Morgan. Mr.. Bal
lard was first honored by the voters
of the Fifth ward, when in 1892 he
was selected to represent them in the
city council. The voters of Ottumws
made him their choice in 1898 when
lhe was elected to Office of justice of
the peace, and his services were suf-
,fcientiy satisfactory to win him two
reflections. Since 1904 Mr.. Ballard
has followed his occupation of painter
and paperhanger, until a year ago,
when he engaged in the real estate
business
Mr.. Ballard is worthy of the favor
able consideration Of all voters of Wa
pello county. He is citizen who has
always been a Republican and has

it until no American citizen would be
in favor of the gold standard. What
has he done. Buried 1t in the Demo.
cratic political policy graveyard. Four
years later his hobby was imperial
ism. He said Roosevelt was a blood
thirsty man and he was going to set
up a monarchy in this country, but
the people were not scared Skipping
from one to another for the past
twelve years, you voters don't know
what next to expect.
Republican Rule Beneficial.
81 want TO point to the last twelve
years in political history. They have
been the most remarkable in the mat
ter of achievements of public good
than any other period in American
history or in the history of any other
country. claim that Theodore Roose-
welt has done more to furtherthe good
of the people in this nation than any
other president we ever had. save,
perhaps, the immortal Lincoln. He
will go down in history as one of the
greatest men of the world. The Dem
ocrats say that your living costs more
today than ever before, but you are
living ard not merely existing. The
farmers of today ride in carriages,
some in automobiles, and there is no
class of people who live any better.
This tariff revision the Democrats ad-
vocate today, they say, will cut off
some of your income, but you will live
cheaper. | am sure you farmers will
not take kindly to that sort of thing.
What you want is the income, and
you'll look after the expense of living.
Here you have at your very door the
thriving city Of Ottumwa, filled as it
is with large manufacturing plants,
excellent business establishments
packing house and markets. What did
the Democratic council do the other
day but pass an ordinance prohibiting
vendors and peddlers to ply their
trade without license. Is that not
protection to the Ottumwa business
man, and to the farmer who brings
| bis products to the market where the
| business man is? The laws that the
Republican party have placed on the
satatute books give every farmer and
! laboring man, every member Of the
large political family of America, the
same protection that this Democratic
adopted ordinance does in Ottumwa
If it is right for city, it is right fol
a state, for nation. Take bushe
of wheat raised on foreign soil ant

E. J. Moore, a Strong Candidate
For County Representative

In Ed ]. Moore the Republican par

who is as well equipped as any man
in the state for the post. Born In FL
! don July 8, 1875, Mr.. Moore has al
ways resided in Wapello county, and
since attaining his majority has been
a prominent figure in Republican pol
itics. He attended the Eldon public
schools and graduated from the high
school In 1891. A course in pharmacy
and chemistry was then taken by
him in Highland Park college at Des
Moines, and upon returning he be-
came associated with his brother,
Sidney l.. Moore, in the drug firm Of
Moore Brothers. In 1896 and a portion
of 1897 he clerked for Higdon Bros.
and the W. w. Ennis drug establish
ments in Ottumwa. For period Of
six years he served efficiently as city
clerk in Eldon, and each succeeding
election his total vote increased,
showing the high esteem in which he
is held by both Republicans and
Democrats in his home city. Mr.
Moore's first public recognition came
when he was but twenty-one years
old, at which time he was selected a
helegate to the Republican state con-
vention. lie has always been keen
student of politics and has been I'M

than Nate Kendall. His opponent Mr..
Hamilton stands for the other pol
icies those Of complaint and criticism.
The difference Is Kendall does things
and Hamilton says things. Nate Ken
dali stands for one side and Dan Ham
ilton for the other. When Hamilton
goes to congress he has got to work
with the southern democrats, and
gay they do not look with favor upon
laws that are beneficial to the north.
What has Hamilton done to benefit
you farmers? Nothing. He can not get
elected this year under the ruse of be-
ing a Roosevelt democrat No sir.
He has attended too many Jacksonian
banquets and has had to declare him
self. Nate Kendall has had to strug-
gle hard. He came to our county about
twenty years ago and started to study
law. Soon he was admitted to the bar
and shortly after was honored by the
election to the office of county attor-
ney. The people then selected him to
go to the legislature, where he has been
for five TENS. and is row in the higf,-

Democracy and Irustc.

Mr.. Bryan in a speech at Abba the
other day told the people that the
Standard Oil Co.. that greatest and
most Infamous octopus of all corpors
lions, was working every way possible
for Mr.. Taft's election. Mr.. Bryan Is
a friend of mine, personally like him
very much, but cannot believe that
down in his heart, in the sincere re-
cesses of his person, he believes that
to be the truth. The company that
through the activity of Theodore
Roosevelt has been prosecuted SO
many times and subject to the larg-
est fine every assessed against a cor
poration, would not work for the cleo
ton of candidate whose choice bears
the endorsement of Roosevelt. Mr..
Bryan says this in the face of the
recent exposure of G. N. Haskell.
whose connection with tho Standard
Oil caused his retirement from active
service on the Democratic national
committee. Mr.. Bryan today has as a
running mate a man, J. w. Kern. who
the other day was found to be riding
on pass in the state of Ohio, ON the
Big Four railroad, which is owned en-
tirely by the Standard Oil Co., and
he had to admit that he was an at
torney for the railroad. Right here in
Iowa no candidate, be he attorney or
laboring man for a railroad, can ride
on a pass. These things, while the
Democratic party is claiming to be
such a foe to all corporations. comes
with very poor grace.
