IOWA INSURGENTS BUSY
ANTl.CANNoN LEADERS TO PLAN

War Likely to Be Declared at Dollar
Banquet on Speakers
Followers.

Des Moines, Oec 29.-Progressive
republicans will on Saturday night be-
gin movement for the organization
of the insurgents" into compact
fighting force. On that night a dollar
banquet will be held at which Sen
ator Albert B. Cummins will be the
chief spokesman and it is possible
that on his invitation three will be
present Senators Beveridge and Dol
liver.
Primarily the meeting was arranged
purpose of lining up republicans in
this congressional district either for
or against Judge Prouty, who will be
the progressive candidate in oppoosi-
ton to Captain j. A. r. Hull, who is
the Cannon candidate. committee
of local business men is in charge, but
it will be surprise to politicians of
ON at least state, if not national, sig
nificance.
Smith and Kennedy Under Fire.
1t is supposed that point will be
given at the banquet TO the proposal
to elect progressive republican as
congressman in the ninth district in
stead of Walter I. Smith, who is on
the Cannon rules committee. Con-
gresham c. A. Kennedy of the first
district also is one of the Iowa mem
bers at Washington who is in the Can
non fold.
In the Smith district it has been
proposed to make Attorney General
H. w. Byers, strong progressive, the
opposing candidate, and in the first
district 1t Is probable that Smith
Brook Hart will be the candidate
against Kennedy.
Whether the contest will be extend
ed to the second district, against Con
gresham A. F. Dawson, who talked
against Cannon, but is now under
stood to be with the speaker is moi
the subject at this time. The Other
Iowa congressman are anti-Cannon.
1t is not unlikely that out of The
banquet will grow program for
statewide campaign in addition to al
lowing Senator Cummins to assume
leadership of the progressive forces
in this congressional district.

CARNIVAL OPENS
IN WALLA WALLA
BIG CROWDS THRONC GROUNDS
ON FIRST NIGHT OF PAR
KER ENGAGEMENT.
Attractions Are Many and Classy and
the Whole Show Exception
ally Clean.

Carnival night, which means so much
to the pleasure seeking element of this
city, opened last night and those who
We're in quest of thrills found them in
plenty at the big Parker shows"
Everything is just as it is promised on
the bills and told by the barker" no
one leaving the grounds disappointed
after having spent few hours looking
at the various attractions many of
which are new to this section of the
country. The show may be regarded
as an exceptionally clean one, nothing
being put on the boards that the most
fastidious may not witness and in con-
trast to the great number of shows that
come to this city with their choice
collection of spoilers, bankers, etc, who
seemingly are not earning their money
unless taking liberties, was the group
of managers who follow the Parker
shows.
Walla Walla has had other carnivals
and other carniva>s companies but
nothing has ever been offered that
might be classed in the same school
with the Parker shows. The equip
ment is different, the management is
different, the shows are different. The
business is handled on a business

basis, by business men, and each de-
accomplishes. One is reminded of the
big circuses of the present day, and
when you are invited to see an animal
show you see q real animal show and
not an insignificant bunch of NANCY
animals that an enterprising boy might
collect in a good half day in the foot
hills. The animals are not penned up
in ly-Ventilated dens to be looked at
and admired, but all have that sleek
well-fed appearance which indicates
proper care and each one has been
educated to appear in public, and to
do themselves credit as performers be-
lore discriminating audiences.
Last evening, after having listened
to the we'll balanced claims. of a not
over important publicity man, the
spirit of the carnival seized upon the
Statesman man and impelled him to in
spect the maze of myriad attractions
presented by the c. w. Parker Shows,
during the course of which a visit
was paid to the wild animal circus,
where he was taken in hand by Col
Onel Al. G.. Barnes, an exceedingly
eXPresident Roosevelt, Jack London
and a few others, cards and spades
when it comes to animal stories. Space
will not permit to enumerate and des-
cribe every act, however, and if over
looking any one act: it is not for the
reason that it is not considered worthy
of mention.
An impressive act was that of Nine.
Barnes and her riding lion, Nero, said
to be the only lion in the world that
has been taught to ride on the back
of galloping horse. This act IS all
the more remarkable when it is re-
called that the lion and the hose are
known to be arch enemies The act,
which for genuine novelty and unique
ness, most impressed the writer was
that of the boxing kangaroo, Jeffries.
and during the time that this strange
creature was engaged in a three
round boxing contest with his trainer
the intelligence and cunning he dis
played was truly wonderful. His Of
fensive and defensive tactics would do
credit to many a general of the prize

just where they are in the present law.
The Payne bill had advanced the duty
on gloves and hosiery, and the senate
bill lops off the advance. The action of
the democrats in lambast these ad-
vances caused the concessions.

BUILDING TRADE IN THE WEST
Perm anency of Construction Movement
One of indices of Steady Bust
ness Situation

KANSAS CITY, Mo, April 20.-The
permanence of the building move
ment is one of the induces of a steady
and progressive business situation that
is not overlooked by the financial in
terests. Despite the lack of enthusi-
asm over some other lines of activity,
the erection of new houses and stores
goes on, and the building record is one
of the liveliest in the history of this
city. The same report comes from the
principal cities of the southwest: the
result, so it is assumed, of the prosper
ity of the farmers who have been NOV
ing to town and have been making the
merchants prosperous through tneir
spendings
1T is astonishing how many per-
sons of moderate means" said a con-
tractor, ARE planning to erect homes
for themselves or for to rent. We have
hundreds of applications for plans
on file now and have never had such
activity in this line. The younger gen.
Grafton is doing a great deal of build
ing; but the investor is also busy. This
applies to apartments and flats, of
which we can never get enough. APP

"Who's Your Friend 2"

who's You Friend?" says the Sc
attic Daily Times, of Monday, March
20, is about the funniest farce which
has visited Seattle in many moons. 1t
is queer combination of a Sol Smith
Russell play, Faust The Little
Princess and The Devil At first
glance that would seem impossible, but
it isn't-it's a scream. Reresford re-
minds you of almost every good
character actor and comedian you
ever knew, but at that he is different
from all of them. 1t is not a farce of
the door slamming, salacious kind; 1t
is a farce of wit. The situations in
the play are so ludicrous that a wood
en- Indian would be funny as the old
inventor" The Seattle Post-Intelli-
gencer of the same date says, Harry
BeresfOrd il Who's Your Friend?' will
make you laugh until you are ashamed
of yourself. The play is unusual in
many respects, chiefly for the fact that
it is so unusually we'll worth the time
