Amhli Not a Candidate.

Mr.. c. F. Ambli wishes us to
state that he has finally been APP
pointed agent of the c., NJ. & St. p.
Ry. at DEBORAH, and accordingly has
withdrawn as candidate before
the primaries for Auditor, although
his name will appear on the ticket.
On account of the fact that he did
not receive this appointment in time
10 have his name kept off the ballot
he takes this means to ask that no
one vote for him. as he is not a
candidate and does not want the
nomination.
He appreciates heartily every
thing that has been done for him by
his friends, and takes this method
of thanking them, but feels that a
position which promises TO he perm
anent should not be overthrow for
a political candidacy that is always
uncertain and short-lived at best
therefore will not be a candidate for
Auditor.

Gypsies Raid EIdOradO.

Every community must have
something to talk about. Gossip
was nearly worn out here but it re-
ceived a fresh start Tuesday. A
tribe of about thirty-five or forty
gypsies IN rlve wagons faided this
community. They came from. the
south stopping at nearly every farm
to beg, steal and tell fortunes. At
some places they were sent off at
others kicked off and at others met
with guns. At Henry Drewes' they
thought no one was at home and
helped themselves to the goodies in
the cellar, but when Miss Hlldah
appeared with a rifle they soon
shook the dust from their shoes.
The Henry Rooster farm was taken
by storm, some going in the house,
chicken coop and gronary. While
being chased from one place, others
were helping themselves somewhere
else. They got away with three
sacks of oats, three hens, few
dozen eggs, and the contents of the
Pantry. Three more loads drove
through town Thursday but did not
modest anybody.-West Union Argo-

BAKING ECONOMY.

BY the use of perfect baking pow
much economy as from any other
article used in baking and cooking.
In selecting baking powder, there
fore, care should be exercised to
purchase one that retains it's origin
al strength and always remains the
same, thus making the food sweet
and wholesome, and producing suf-
ficient leavening gas to make the
baking light
Very little of this leavening gas
is produced by the cheap baking
powders, making it necessary to
use double the quantity ordinarily
required to secure good results.
You caDnCt experiment every
time you make a cake or biscuits,
or test the strength of your baking
powder to find out how much of it
you should usc yet with most bak-
ing powders you should do this, for

cans, Calumet Baking Powder does
not alter in strength and is not af-
fected by atmospheric changes.
In using Calumet you are bound
to have uniform bread cake or bis
cults, as Calumet does not contain
any cheap, useless or adulterating
ingredients SO commonly used TO in

duces pure, wholesome food and is
a baking powder of rare merit;

eran church at 200 o'clock on Sat-
urday, Rev. Otto Schmidt officiat-
ing, with interment in the Norwe-
gian cemetery.
During his residence and long as
sociation in business life here Mr.

had many of them, scattered all

ly regret to learn of his death. For
many years he was prominent
member of the Decoran Fire De-
partment, and for some time its
Chief. At the time of his death he
was President of the famous Luren

Norske Se!skab. The regret at his
passing and sympathy fer the be-

RIVER CAN Be
UTILIZED TO AN
AO Y A N | AGE
DEs MONIES STREAM CAN BE PUT
TO GOOD USE ACCORDING TO
THE VIEW OF ENGINEERS
a RoWsE IN CITY.

-
In six weeks time the surveyors who
are working on the Des Moines river
will be in Ottumwa and then the bal
ance of the stream from Ottumwa
south will be covered in hurry, ac-
cording to the information given out
today by Engineer A. 0. Rowse who is
in the city. Mr.. Rowse says that the
river above Ottumwa is very crooked,
and for this reason progress has not
been fast. The course from Ottumwa
south, however, is more straight and
the work will therefore be done more
rapidly.
4 When questioned as to the outlook
for the Des Moines river, Mr.. Rowse
replied that he would r1rnish data to
the government department covering
what would be necessary to provide
the lock and dam system, which would
make the river navigable for the entire
summer periods, and aslo information
about improving the stream at GER
tain points, which would make the
stream open for navigation during the
ordinary stage of water.
Mr.. Rowse will visit the northern
part of the state next week to look up
some reservoirs for storage of water.
This is to provide water for power on
the Des Moines river during the low
stages.

Chicago, July 25.-On the eve of the
inquest over the body of Ira G. Rawn,
the definite pronouncement came last
night from j. H. Schumacher, general
superintendent of the Pinkerton Ma
tional Detective agency, working in be-
half of the family, that the former
president of the Monon railroad was
slain by a burglar as he descended the
stairs Of his Winnetka home early last
Wednesday morning.
This is the first official statement
which has come from the Pinkerton
agency and is believed to presage Il
carefully worked up case of murder for
presentation to the coroners jury
when that body convenes next We'd
nesday evening in the Winnetka vii
lage hall.
"Our investigation has not shown a
trace of suicide or reason for suicide"
declared superintendent Schumacher
I'VE know enough about this case to
satisfy us of that. We have examined
into his antecedents, ,eand we know his
character we have found that he was
too strong a man to have sought self,
destruction just because he was going
to be asked few questions.

so far as Mr.. Rawns name has been
mentioned, is unadulterated bun

tumwa experienced the hottest
weather that has visited the city this
year and in many respects it was the
most uncomfortable day in years. 1t
was not until after o'clock that the
temperature began dropping. In spite
Of this torridity there We're no sun
strokes so far as could be learned and
this was explained, the physicians say
by the fact that nearly all Ottumwa
took advantage Of the day Of leisure
and remained quietly at home or
rested along the Des Moines river or
in the parks. Had it been day OF
labor, they said, many sunstrokes
might have been reported.
The discomfort was aggravated yes
terday by hot winds that did not cool
off until late In the afternoon.
Today promises to duplicate tho
temperature Of yesterday. At noon to-
day the thermometer registered 100
degrees and 1t appeared to be going
upward There have been few sun
strokes in Ottumwa this year.
Those thunderstorms promised for

government forecaster but they would
have met with royal welcome II
they had been accompanied by Jupiter
Pluvius. The farmers are praying for
rain and declare that unless they get
rain soon the crops will suffer.
Ottumwa has not had good rain
since May %. One slight shower that
barely laid the dust is all that has
visited Ottumwa since that time.
If there is not rain there promises
to be only few drops in the Des

it has reached for many years.
