CUMMINS OUT

1t is Said That He is Being Carefully

READ OUT OF PARTY
The Senator Declares That He Has
Been Read Out Of the Party
so Often That He Does

DIES MONIES, Ia, Sept. 21.-Pres-
ident Taft's tariff speech at Winona
got an unexpected development when
it was noised abroad today that U.
S. Senator A. B. Cummins, chief in
surgent of them all, is being groomed
by his political friends for the repub-
lican nomination for president in 1912.
The Iowa progressives expect the
entire middle west to be for Cummins.
While making no direct reference to
the presidents Winona speech, Cum
Minis said: II am going to continue the
fight for tariff revision and l have
made up my mind to keep it up until
there is downward revision" Asked
if he was going to consent to being
read out of the party Cummins smiled
and said: We'll, / have been read out
of the party so often that don't mind
it any more. 1t all depends on what
you call the republican party. 1t

The Man Who Was Found Floating in
the River Week Ago, no
Doubt Brother of War
saw Lady.
DESCRIPTIONS
AGREE
Scars on Head and Other Descriptions
Of Mrs. Weiprecht's Brother
Agree With Those of
Man Found.

There is no doubt now in. the minds
of relatives, that the body of the man
found floating in the river last week
was that of Henry Clark, a man who
formerly resided in Warsaw and left
his home about two years ago to go to
Arkansas and hasn't been heard of I'M
til recently when Mrs. l.. G. Weiprecht
of Warsaw read the account in the
Gate City Of the finding of the body of
the man floating in the river and the
description agreed in every way with
that of her brother Henry Clark, who
left two years ago with his father-in-
law and mother-in-law fir Arkansas to
relative who had died. Since that
time no word had been received
from Mrs. Weiprechts brother and
she with her husband came to Keokuk
yesterday afternoon from their War
saw home to get further infrmation
regarding the man found and without
a doubt. the man who was found and
inteJ in the public grounds was
her L yer.
Mrs. Weiprecht spoke of the scar on
his head, the dead man having been
struck on the top of the head by a To-
connective when boy. Anther scar
about quarter of an inch from the In
cented scar made from the engine
wound, was also on the mans head.
The hotel card in his pocket from
Arkansas would also help to identify
the fact that he was Mrs. Weiprechts'
brother, he having gone to Arkansas
when last heard of. Lost ads have
been inserted in number of the Chi
cago and other papers over the coun.
try but nothing was ever heard from
the lost brother.
Mrs. Weiprecht stated that one OF
her brothers oddities was the wear
ing of two suits of Undertaking at
the same time. He was in the habit
of wandering about the country. He
had been troubled with kidney disease
during a great part of his life and was
in the habit of carrying a bottle oil
glycerine and cathera, the same
articles being found on the floater ex-
cept that bottle of vaseline was us
ed by him.
Other descriptions of the man with
that of the man found and his identi
ty is no doubt settled though nothing
will be done about the matter, the
body having been prepared for burial
at the Crimmins and Chase undertake
ing parlors, was inferred in the public
burying grounds.
