WANT lNsURGENT CANDIDATE.

Fourteen leading republicans Of the
Fifth district of Virginia, as stated on
Saturday, signed the call for conven-
ton to be held at Martinsville Septem-
Der 81, to put an insurgent candidate in
the field.
The Fifth district is represented by
Judge E. W. Saunders, democrat,
whose seat was contested by Parsons,
republican. Just before the close OF the
session of Congressl the committee OH
elections reported in favor of the con-
tcstants on the grounds that the re-
moval of Floyd county, strongly re-
publican, from the Fifth district to the
Sixth district by the Virginia legisla-
ture was gerrymander and uncon-
stitutional. The report has not been
acted upon by the House, and, mean
while, Judge Saunders has been serving
rs a member OF tho committee investi-
eating the bribery charges made by
Senator Gore sitting in Oklahoma.
It has been hinted that Speaker Can
non sent Saunders to Oklahoma in or
der to obstruct him in his canvass. His
opponent, Parsons, is the republican
nominee. ;.
The FLOYD republicans have repudl-
ated the action OF the legislature put
ting them in the Sixth district and sent
delegates to the Fifth district conren-
ton and will vote for Parsons.
The situation makes the district
close, and the result possibly depends
on whether the House would regard
FLOYD as in the Fifth or Sixth district.
The new insurgent movement, how
ever, promises to settle the question. as
there seems to be no doubt that it has
a strong following. The plurality either
way is not expected to be more than
200 or 500. In the Sixth and Tenth
districts the republican convention
showed strong insurgent tendencies and
made nominations. In the Seventh
the convention split and the insurgents
nominated o candidate against the reg
ular. In the other districts the repub-
licans will hsye comparatively no show.

A PERILOUS VOYAGE.

Capt. Klaus Larsen, in his little
motorboat, the Ferro, made success
full trip from the foot OF the cataract
through the Whirlpool rapids Of Nj
agara to within mile OF Lewiston,
a distance OF 4 1-2 miles, late yester-
dav afternoon. He started from the
Maid OF the Mist dock at 4:45 O'Clock
and ran on the rock near the American
shore at $50.
Despite the battcring of the whlrl-
pool rapids, Larsen went through
safely, but his boat was leaking badly
at the finish and through the trip
Larsen had intended to start at ESQ
O'Clock, but he was delayed by engine
trouble. Besides, the local authorities
threatened to interfere on the ground
OF attempted suicide. The Ferro
swung under the cantilever bridge.
the engine running at top speed, anu
was caught in the swift drift break
OF water to the whirlpool rapids. Lar
sen held to the middle Of the channel.
and in less than three minutes had
made the great pool. In the trip
through the rapids the little boat WAS
lost to sight most OF the time. but nj
Great Wave it was shot 20 feet out 81
water. The boat landed right and con-
tinued to the pool.
Larsen kept TO the outer edge oi
the pool and passed out and down
without accident Just rs he left The
pool the engine stopped working. and
Larsen was ut the mercy OF the waters
hardly less violent than those above.
The little boat swung around stern
first and then turned completely
over. Larsen coming up badly bat
tered. 1t was there that he injured his
leg.
From now on Larsen was the play
thing Of the mighty river, unable to
hold the course. the boat swinging
from oncsssidcsto the other. After get
ting through the Devils Iiole.the Ferro
swung toward the rocks on the Amerl-
can side OF the river, rolled over one
boulder and went fast between two
others. There Larsen stayed for five
minutes 40 feet from shore, working
desperately to release the craft. Get
ting free, he was hit by comber and
sent careening toward the middle. At
the bend, with the Lewiston bridge 10
sight, the boat drifted toward the
American side again, and was then
caught in the shore eddy. The Ferro
grounded again, this time near enough
to shore to be caught by Roy Rock
we'll, OF Niagara Falls, who waded into
the water and caught rope thrown by
Larsen.
Larsen wanted to continue the trip,
but having accomplished the worst part
Of the journey, he was persuaded to
board a trolley to Lewiston setting the
boat adrift.
Larsen says he will make the voyage
with another boat. 1ii;3 J11 TB
Except the old Maid Of the Mist,
sent through in 1864 to avoid seizure,
I.arscn's is the only engine-propelled
craft to have gone through the rapids.
Peter Nissen, Chicago, 1900, and c. A.
Percy, 1887 and 1901, are the only
rnen who took boats through and
lived.

a Good Forgery.

A farm hand who gave his name as
Gus Smith, strung couple of our peo-
pie Monday for sums aggregating SIS
and then left for new field, where
there is more rain.
|, Not long ago there came a stranger
to Charter Oak who was looking for
work. He was made busy at once,
and worked for several different PEG
pie, making good, with all of them.
Monday he presented a check at the
Farmers State Bank for cashing, and
was given the money. A little later
he, gave another check to Franz
Reetz in payment of saloon bill. The
one at the bank was for $50, and the
one at Reetz's was for $25, while the
bill was only four or five dollars. Both
checks were signed ostensibly by John
Rockwell. payable to Gus Smith. The
signature rs SO nearly perfect that
any mas you'd have cashed the pa
per an not questioned it any more
than lese people did. We were
shown the forged check at the bank,
together with several good ones. We
failed to select the poor one, and 9TH
ers around us failed also, SO. good was
the imitation.
When Mr.. Barber found he had been
strung, he got busy at once and soon
had the pedigree of his man, together
with his picture. and the police all
over the country were notified. He
found that the fellows name was not
Smith. He found also that the man
had served at least one term in the
pen and was wanted for another one
in Nebraska. He had raised check
there and come here. He came first
to Dunlap and worked north from
there. After he got his money here
he stayed around town until late in
the evening and then took advantage
of the darkness. He was seen about
midnight at Arion, and from there

MIR. chas. K. Meyers at Sunday School
Convention In Mason City.

The Globe Gazette of Mason City
gave q fine writeup and published the
picture of Mr.. Meyers of Denison, who
was in attendance at the State Sunday
School convention there last week. We
print the writeup as follows:
One of the workers who will be
attracted to Mason City by the COM
ing Sunday school convention is Mr..
Charles K. Meyers, of Denison. 1t will
be no surprise to the friends who
knew of his activities along Sunday
school lines while in Cerro Gordo coun-
ty to hear that he has been county
secretary for three years at his home,
and that Crawford stands as one Of
the strong Sunday school counties Of
the state, partially through his activi-
ties. Without doubt he will be pleased
to see the workers In the Sunday
school work in this county with whom
he labored in the, various townships
during his residence here. It will be
remembered that he conducted a Sun
day school for nine years in the school
house just beyond the cement plant.
The friendship of Mr.. Meyers for Ma
son City was quite helpful at the
Sunday school convention held in Des
Moines last year when the question
was up whether the next convention
should be held at Mason City or
Cedar Rapids. On invitation Of Mr..
Nichols. Mr.. Meyers appeared with him
and others before the committee hav-
ing in charge the choosing Of the
place for the next convention. Mr..
Nichols was called away the next day
on business and was not able to be
present when the committee brought
In its report In favor Of Mason City.
The enthusiasts for Cedar Rapids had
been liberal in distributing ribbons
among the delegates bearing the name
of their city, and In truth, few Of the
delegates to the convention were
aware that Mason City desired the
next convention, so that the report
favoring our city did not at first re-
ceive q favorable thought. Mr.. Meyers
had an intimation Of what the commits
tee would report and arranged that he
should be recognized to Immediately
speak on behalf Of the Queen of the
Midlands." Being thoroughly familiar
with what Mason City could offer and
full OF enthusiasm for his old home,
he was able to make good presenta-
ton on behalf of the report of the COM
mittee. There was stir fight on.
the Cedar Rapids gentlemen making
strong talks to have the convention
overrule the committees report. Our
city. however. had number Of good
speakers, not the least Of whom was
the chairman Of the committee, who
presided at our neighboring town Of
Floyd. a rising vote was taken which
resulted IN little over one hum
dred for Mason City and nearly eighty
against. showing that If good work
had not been done that Mason City
would not be entertaining delegates.
1t will be a pleasure to us, as well
as to many others to extend glad
hand to Brother Meyers.
