HARMONY IN THIS COUNTY.

w. HARMONY in I7I0 SSON' ia
Il there were any doubts remaining
that the republicans 'apello county
have buried all past differences ana
are united in their support OF the repub-
lican state, congressional, county
and township ticket, such doubts
were dispelled at the harmony
meeting held in the republican neaa,
quarters last night. Men who nao
heen-the leaders IN the factional dis-
putes before the primary and the con
yention, made it plain that they were
republicans first, last and all the time.
and they pledged their sincere support
to the entire ticket.
Men who have been active IN tue
ranks Of the party for a quarter OF q
century declared at the close OF the
meeting that not in years had they
seen a time when the republicans OF
Wapello county were more closely
united. They expressed the conviction
that the republicans this year would
elect Governor Carroll by an old time
majority, return Congressman Kendait
by an Increased majority and elect the
entire county and township ticket, and
there were enough volunteers who Of
fered their services to Chairman =. Il.
Young to give WAY clio county the

HANNlBAL's GOOD SHOWING.

Saturday the Comm src1al assocla-
ton of Hannibal, Mo, brought to a
successful termination 100000 fac
tory fund campaign. which insures
three new factories for Hannibal and
the boosters claim it will bring an in
crease in population Of $500 within
the next fifteen months. Two more
factories were brought to Hannibal by
campaigns which closed before this
$50. 900 fund was started. Only few
months ago Hannibal raised $4,000
for a Y. M. C. A. building. During the
last eleven months a total of $125,000
has been raised for public enterprises.
Hannibal is working along the right
line. Every new factory it secures
adds to the city's wealth and pros
perity, brings increased business to
the merchant, q larger practice to the
professional man, more work and
greater opportunities for the worker
and enhanced values for real estate
and home owners.
Ottumwa appreciates to the full
extent the benefits that come from
such campaigns as these. The en-
thusiasm shown in bringing the $780,
900 interurban campaign and the $780,
900 pump factory campaign to a sue
cessful issue gives eloquent proof Of
this. Ottumwa congratulates her
northern Missouri neighbors on their
success In similar line Of endeavor.

CHAPTER vi.
OIIAI HIS W.
The Spanish Woman's House.

! Sunday, which found me sole mis-
| tress of the place, was beautiful, warm,
and beguiling. That lovely locked-in
ifeeling, which comes only when the
streets are quiet, and no tradesmen,
not even the postman, comes knocking,
soothed me after the days Of tension
and expectancy.
Abby went off early to church and l
took a book out to the rustic seat by
| the heliotrope. At about half-past ten
Mr.. Dingley came through the conser-
| vatory; but he was used to coming IN
and out Of the house so much that MS
joining me in the garden was no more
Of an invasion than If he had been one
| of the family. He said father had told
| him he was to be out OF town, and ne
had come around to see how the house
hold was getting on. We sat there very
comfortably in the warm sun, aimlessly
talking, hearing the sweet notes OF the
| church bells was just about to re-
| sumo my book when Lee put his head
out of the conservatory door.
"Some one to see you, Miss Ellie,
! he announced, and disappeared abrupt
| " before could ask who.
went in, fearing it would prove
some girl whom l did not know well.
| who had called out of mere curiosity.
| I was surprised to find awaiting me In
| the hall, a person whom did not know
at all-whom had never even seen be-
fore. It was a half-grown, shuffling
| Mexican, with blank and stupid face,
| looking as If he might be some one
| stable-boy. But as soon as he saw me,
he PRODUCED from some pocket and pre-
| scented to me with remarkable swift
mess and dexterity. small immaculate
! white note 1t was addressed to me and
| the writing was not Estrella Mendez' 3
! small copper-plate script, but a larger,
! bolder, more dashing hand, scarcely
| like womans.
| "To the Senorita Elenora;" 1T began
- and / wondered whether 1t could be

she had had several among the great

some practical joke? put the envelope
to my face. All. it was she, 1t was the
perfume of that flower! She had really
written; she had summoned me.
The very fact that she had commu
nicated with me, this being who was
not as I was, whose life seemed as ir
revocably separated from mine as II
she had inhabited another planet, was
amazing. And as for those expressions

fact that democratic day. at the LII

Is it Of good or evil omen? the Regis

Does it mean that the democratic

Does it mean that democracy ts to

Does it typify democracy's alliance

A movement has been undertaken in
Des Moines to raise 100000 to place
the Agar Packing Co., on its feet. This
is ar, evidence of the new spirit pre-
vailing in Iowa, an evidence that Iowa
realizes the value OF encouraging ana
aasiatinr institutions that employ
labor. The Agar plant evidently has
not been given the encouragement in
its home town that it deserved. Des
Moines people, though benefitting from
the money paid into the community by
this institution in the way Of salaries.
did not extend the patronage that
should have been given home insti-
tuition. When efforts were made to in
duce the company to move to another
state. however, the Des Moines
boosters acted promptly and another
manufacturing institution will be re-
tanned in Iowa and fostered by home
support.

FIRST WIFE SUES
 HER SUCCESSOR Mrs. H. C.. Cole Wants $25O,00O from Ex-Mrs. Hunt for Alienation.

Kansas City. March 26.-Mrs. How ard G. Cole, who was formerly Mrs. Jarvis Hunt, wife of a Chicago archi- tect and for years familiar figure in social circles and horsewoman of National fame. is sued for s25O,Oo0 damages here by Mrs. Hattie Dun woody Cole of Chicago, the divorced wife of Howard G. Cole.
 The suit was filed here because this is now the legal residence of Mrs. Cole No. 2. Following her unexpected mar riage to MT. Cole in Jacksonville, Fla, on Jan. 7, last, the couple came here to live. A month ago they left for Pensa cola, Fla, on a visit.
 When Mrs. Cole No. l, obtained her divorce in Chicago on Nov. 10, 19O0 it was with the provision that neither of the parties to the case should wed within two years. Following the mar riage of Mrs. Hunt and Cole, Mrs. Cole No. 1 announced that if they re- turned to Chicago to reside she would institute suit against her ex-husband's new wife.
 While the Coles lived here they did not nningle in society. They purchased a handsome home, and spent the great CT part of their time there.
 Mrs. Cole No. was divorced from Jarvis Hunt in Wheaton, Ill.,, last Oc- tober. Mrs. Cole received the custody of her two children, Jarvis J. and Louise.
 Cole and his first wife were married Jan. 1, 1900. They had five children, who are now with their mother.

MRS. JULIA GAYLEY
 GETS HER DIVORCE
Nevada Judge Decides that Steel Trust Magnate Els tablished a Residence.

Reno, Nev., March 2e.-Judge Orr has granted decree to Mrs. Julia Ga ardner Gayley, divorcing her from James Gayley. former Vice President of the United States Steel Corporation on the ground of desertion. He in cluded in the decree alimony to the amount of $5O,00O for Mrs. Gayley and counsel fees of $1,0O0.
 In granting the decree Judge Orr stated that he did not believe that residence in Nevada meant that a per- son should actually be in Reno, or some other point in Nevada. every day for six months, but that the per son should be permitted to go away occasionally on business if the occa- sion demanded. He said that although MT. Gayley. had been actually in Reno only twenty-four and a half weeks. he had come here more than a year ago, and was, therefore. a bona fde resi- dent. This action of Judge Orr has been welcome news to persons in the divorce colony here, for they will be able to take occasional trips away from the State.
 Gayley was in the courtroom when the decree was handed down, but Mrs. Gayley had gone to San Francisco with her daughters. She will leave immediately for New York.

WALL STREET CONDITIONS.

With regard to the stock market, Banker Henry C1ews advises copser- vatism because the immediate out look for money, labor and the Lon don market is uncertain.'' Although an issue of $5O,OO0,oOO New York city A per cent. bonds were largely over- subscribed, $1O,OOO,OOO of them go- ing abroad, MT. Clews says that icon ditions generally favor stock more than bonds,'' for the reason that ''the latter yield only fixed income, and in times like the present when the cost of living has greatly expanded, those dependent upon investments for their incomes prefer stocks which of fer better returns and a chance of in creased dividends
 Very heavy offerings of new securi- ties this month tthave been sur prisinglyS well taken,'' and MT. Clews notes the significant fact ''at the mo- ment that securities generally are in strong hands, the floating supply in the Street being relatively small. The public is certainly not in the market to any extent
 tnThe, commercial outlook is gener. ally satisfactory" although in some lines stan excessive advance in prices has checked consumption and distri- DuIlOn, ana HI OtA0E DId11C110S conservative spirit is displayed, owing to the high level of prices which in duces caution on the part of bankers in making advances, and prevents distributors from carrying large stocks
 Again, MT. Clews warns the public that .tit will not do, to overlook that the high cost of living and the high tariff are producing a strong under current of political disquiet.''
 Watson, AIpers & Co. in their week lyt letter state that there is hope that the broad field of the trans pcrtatfon industry will soon be free of all controversies over wages which menace the regular course of opera tions,'' which hope is based upon s.the spirit of conservation shown or. both sides" They also state that eff an analysis is made of the leading stocks, railroad and industrial. on the list of the Exchanges, it will be found that two-tlirds of them are now yielding an investment return at ruling prices well above Az per cent" And
 The business of the country con- tinues to expand in spite of labor controversies, political unsett1ement and the pendency of the Supreme Court decision. Proof of this is avail able on any reference to statistics of bank clearances or traffic reports. Such vitality is most significant and is the most legitimate reason for re- garding many of the adverse factors now to be noted as transitory, the foundations of trade and finance af- fording support to the belief that the larger and more potent influences of Investment and enterprise will later on work to the advantage of values. The new week will probably define certain conditions more definitely and while conservatism at the mo- ment is a prudent course to pursue, we should favor purchases on reces- sions in the absence of any new com plications in the situation.
