Painstaking Quest Fails to Disclose Any

Special to Times-Republican.
Ida Grove, May 31.-Ed Cubbage,
who is prominent in local politics, last
week received request for the names
of standpatters in each township in
Ida county. He appealed to local
candidate who is well posted but both
were unable to find standpatters in
each township, so they called up by
telephone Postmaster Nolte, of Hol-
stein, and asked for the information
in Griggs and Douglas townships. Mr..
Nolte was unable to give the name OF
a single standpatter in either of the
townships, but said he would make in-
uuiries and if he found any would
send their names by letter. No word
has been received from him up to date.
There is an unuauslly strong feeling
that the nomination of Carroll is a

There was never a more surprised

large number Of extra policemen. No

and one lone offender was arrested.
Des Moines.
! Iowa mine operators are digging an
enormous quantity of coal and selling

that Iowa is the only state west Of In

have settled the wage scale and gone
back to work The output of the Iowa
mines a present is heavier than 1t ever
has been at this season Of the year.

| For number Of months, according

ly sold at least at four places in Keo-
kuk. These places We're known as
bootlegging joints and are said to
have been selling rather openly when
the severe penalty for the violation
of the law is considered. Chief of Po-
lice Schevers says these four illegal
resorts for the dispensing Of alcoholic
refreshments have been closed and that
they would be kept closed. No prosecu-

been necessary for the accomplish

Rockingham.
The new town Of Rockingham is now
entitled to have one saloon within its
precincts. The petition of consent au-

residents of the town. Two or three
men are after the privilege.

The case of Asa Smith versus the
Chicago & Northwestern Railway was
settled, the defendant paying plaintiff
$1,000 and costs. The action was baS-

Mr.. Smiths barn. just beyond Fawn
Creek, was caused by sparks from a
Northwestern engine three years ago.
The first trial resulted in a verdict of
one dollar and costs for the plaintiff.
This was set aside.
Madrid.
At meeting of a number Of the base
ball enthusiasts Of the community the
Madrid Baseball Association was or

The purpose of the association, pri-
marily, is to provide grounds for play

Scandal base ball team, but in connec-
ton with this it is probable that a
number of games will be arranged for
by the association and that the season
will close with a base ball tournament.
