Coroner King was called to Adjunct,
nine miles north of Cedar Rapids, to
investigate the mysterious death OF

dead. The wife was about 80 years
younger than Chesmore. She was al

cause of his death, according to DR..

Burlington and Cedar Rapids.

Des MOnes, Jan. 30-Special: Bur
lington won the democratic state con-
vention last evening on the forty
fourth ballot taken by the state CEN
trail committee yesterday afternoon.
The date of the convention is May 9.
Never in the history of Iowa politics
has a state central committee remain.
ed in deadlock so long over the ques.
ton of a convention city. The COM
mittee baIloted from 2 o'clock until
after O'Clock. Burlington was OPP
posed by Council Bluffs and Cedar
Rapids. But one ballot was necessary
to decide the meeting place for the
second convention July rs. Cedar
Rapids secured eleven votes. Had it
not been for the $1,000 bonus over
all expenses offered by Burlington,
the meeting surely would have gone
to Council Bluffs. Council Bluffs of.
fered a bonus of $500.

CHANGE OF SENTIMENT.

Immediately after Senator Cum
minis announced that he would be a
candidate against President Taft, the
Register and Leader committed the
Iowa delegation to the National Re
publican convention to the senior
senator. After hearing from the
state through the smaller newspa
pers, the Register and Leader gave ut
terance to this sentiment:
President Taft will be renom-
mated on the first ballot; centain-
ly on the second, or not at all.
The Iowa delegation will in no
way determine that result.
IN case the president is not
renominated, of what advantage
will it prove to Senator Cummins
to have engaged in a bitter con-
test here at home to make sure
that the president is not the Sec
ond choice of his delegates?"
The majority sentiment among
Iowa republicans is undoubtedly for
Taft, and there is no way to change
it at this late hour. Pledges are out
and faith will not be broken, no differ
ence how strong home pride may be
urged to the contrary. A bitter fac
tional fight should be avoided, If pos
sible, for the sake of local politics
within the state.

BETTER TRAIN SERVICE.

John Fl. Anderson says he has a
better plan in mind than the Heralds
suggestion to induce the Rock Island
to run a through train from Des
Moines to Chicago via Pelia, Oska
loosa, Washington and Davenport.
Mr.. Anderson's plan is TO induce
tire Rock Island to build west from
Knoxville about seven miles to con
meet with the new line of road the
Rock Island is building from Des
Moines into Lucas county. Then we
would have practically a new line OF
railroad, opening up new territory
for Oskaloosa trade, and a much bet.
ter chance for through trains from
Des Moines TO Chicago.
We accept Mr.. Anderson's amend.
mcnt to our motion and hope that the
vote may be unanimous. Let's get
the through train somehow, with
sleeping car accommodations

NOW HUNTING WILD CATTLE
Descendants Of Stock Taken to Wash
ington by Scotch Colony in 1910
Now Prey of Hunters.

Seattle, Wash-Although the state
Of Washington has its NO Trespass"
sign tackled on the herds of elk in the
Olympic mountains, and the open sea
son for deer here lasts but three
months each year, guides are returning
from the wild regions with larger game
wild cattle, unprotected by law.
Grant w. iIumes has just brought in
the shaggy hide and long horns of a
wild bull he killed in the plateau re-
giOn at the headwater of the DuSewal-
lips river. Hmes, who has lived in
the Olympics for Is years, says a herd
Of several hundred wild cattle IS at
large near the source of the Dusewal-
lips. Other herds, Humes says, feed
on thousands Of acres of wild hay in
the plateau regions bordering the
Queets and Hob rivers. Two other
guides confirm the story.
Indian legend says the stock was
brought to this country by colony of
Scotch settlers who landed from Il
sailing vessel in the early forties. The
colony did not thrive and its mem
bers returned to civilization, leaving
their stock
Guides say the wild cattle and horses
are more timid than deer, and more
difficult to hunt. With a scent as
keen as that of the elk, the wild herds
flee 20 the almost inaccessible hid
ing places in the hills when alarmed
by the approach of man.

EIGHT JILT FORTUNE.
Thousand Dollar Bill Passed
Around as $1O0 Note.
Several Business Men of Hyde Park
and EnsIewood Do Not Know Value
Of Money When They See 1t
Elusive Bill Trailed.

Chicago.-There are eight business
men in Hyde Park and Englewood
who do not know thousand dollar
bill when they see it, Eight of them
had it in their possession the other
day. S..
Each one passed it on to the next
man as a 500 bill. The last to re.
ceive it deposited the bill to his &C
count In the Guarantee Trust and Saw
ings bank, S35 West Sixty-third street,
still believing 1t to represent only
500. The receiving teller discovered
the size of 1t.
Here's the story:
BUSINESS man walked briskly into
the Woodlawn Trust and Savings
bank, 1908 East Sixty-third street.
Give me $780," he said, tossing a
check to the paying teller. The teller
snapped bill from a pile, ran 1t
through his fingers and slipped it I'M
der the wicket.
The man walked out. He made a
purchase.
Here's $780," he said to the mer-
chant with whom the sale was con-
Quoted. The merchant took the bill,
glanced at it, and tossed it into his
till
About this time the paying teller OF
the Woodlayn Trust made an invoice
OF his cash.
Then he ran for the EngIewoOd pO'
lice station. Detective Edward Dud-
ley set forth for the missing 100 bank,
note. The cashier had given him the
name of the man who had asked for
500 in exchange for a check.
Thousand dollars? You're kidding
me-" said the man when Dudley found
him. But anyway. | haven't got it,
| gave it to links" Dudley went to
links. links sent him to Drinks. From
Drinks he passed to Binks. Finally he
wound up with August Nelson, S35
West Sixty-third street.
Thousand? No, you're bunked,"
said Nelson 81 deposited It at the
Guarantee Trust. The cashier took
1t for hundred. He ought 10 know
Dudley dashed for the bank Gin.
me that thousand dollar bill quick,
said he. He got it.
Dudley was asked for the names of
the business men who did not know a
thousand dollar bill when they saw
one.
Il have been requested not to give
out their names" said the detective
They are laughing at the error they
made. It turned out all right, so we will
withhold the names. guess the whole
bunch is making so much money they
don't take time to look at hundred
dollar bills"

AN OTTUMWA IDEA,

Ottumwa is the latest candidate
for fame through the organization OF
a Constitutional Government Club.
The idea is original with Ottumwa
and il seems destined TO spread out
and take root elsewhere. The chiei
article in the constitution OF the club
runs as follows:
The Initiative, Referendum
and recall as advocated in GER
tain quarters, if generally adopt
ed, would work a radical change
in the long established theory
and structure of constitutional
government in America. We be-
lieve the triumph of this propa-
ganda throughout the United
States would sooner or later re-
suit in the overthrow OF orderly
liberty"
The motto of the club is compost
and comprises the following good sug
gestions:
Quit grumbling and knocking" Be
an optimist.
Place more faith in E Pluribus
Unum and less in the Referendum.
Recall the mean things you have
said about Uncle Sam.
Set your Initiative working on
something good for the Old Flag.
Hand this paper to friend and ask
him to pass it along.
Distribute what you have and send
to us for more.
Discuss this subject before Church
Brotherhoods.
Discuss il at the meetings OF your
Business Mems Association.
A Business Man whose nerves
won't bear to hear it, will hardly ven
ture out after dark.
Don't let the place-hunting politi,
clan choke you of.
See to it that your party platform
stands squarely for Constitutional
Government and against the Initia'
tive, Referendum and Recall.
1t may not bring you an office, but
we all generally get what's coming. "
Organize your club and then hold a
rousing meeting with some speaker
who refuses to apologize for being a
plain old-fashioned American.
Ask your newspaper to give you
more space to good things about the
Republic of Washington and less to
the mouthings of the Sorehead.
Ask your minister to give sermon
on old-fashioned patriotism, now and
then.
Let the lawyers discuss this sub.
ject at their bar meetings.
When your farmers have an insti.
tute, when your people gather in any
have talk made about the
Stars and Stripes, and good word
offered for the best Government on
earth.
Once 1t was fashionable to praise
our free institutions. Why not re
rive this good old custom?

My sister Jane Amanda used to know
Most everything | asked her, till
her beau
Began to call bout every other night
And now she can't remember black

day
saw him wink at ma, and heard
him say
Since Percy Brown gave Sis that dia
mond ring
She can't remember much Of any

There's lots of things a Teller wants
to know,
Like what becomes of wind that
doesn't blow,
And why the sun. don't shine some
times at night,
And where the moon goes when its
not in sight.
And is there any bad place down be
low?
And lots of other things I'd like to
know,
And ma she says il surely is task
To answer all the questions that
ask.
One rainy night, not very long ago,
said there's just one thing I'd like
to know,
And pa looks wise and took me on his
knee
And said, just fire your questions
son, at me.
And then thought n minute and
said,
What makes a rainbow green and
blue and red?
And is it raining now in every town?
And why it don't rain up instead OF
down.
And what makes lightning lightning
every year?
And what makes thunder thunder
like we hear?
Pa lit big cigar before he spoke,
And said, run on and play, want to
smoke

The effort of President Taft to
GUST the spoils system from the fed
eral service are widely recognized
and applauded. The American sys-
tenn as developed through years of
adherence to the outworn doctrine is
so indefensible that no one longer
attempts even to offer an excuse for
it, It's remnants exist because of
popular inertia and because those
who could abolish them are its bene-
fiCiaries.
