expert hunters in the party. Their
.conveyances were up-to-date automo-
biles and the machines sailed across
the Keokuk and Hamilton bridge at
divers times, like dry land aero
planes
The hunters were armed with all
manner of weapons for use in the
combat, such as dull axes to chop
down the trees, dogs. repeating rifles,
dried pea shot guns, more dogs, tin
cups, hickory clubs, magazine guns,
small mountain howitzer that shoots
at both ends. so as to catch the coon
both a comm and a gwian; and some
of the younger hunters counting this
as their first hunting experience car
ried sacks of salt to throw on the
coons' tails, thinking as last resort
that would bring them

be supposed so.

Conner Speaks

In short address former Governor Conner stated the prospects for the fight against the increase in rates and said that the people. of the state were very in- dignant and thoroughly aroused at the ac- ton of the railroads. MT. Conner sug- gested having the resolutions printed and distributed over the state. To do this, he said, 1t would take some small amount of money, and in less than two minutes over s200 had been subscribed by several of those present.
 Chairman Herman Beck will appoint a committee to solicit funds from other merchants and also to secure more names to be signed to the document to be print ed. w. H. Maxim was unanimously elect ed treasurer.
 A number of red hot speeches were made yesterday, and the wholesale men determined to fight the matter to a finish. The express rates in the state are expect- ed to be changed next week, and 1t is very probable that a strong fight against that action will be made.
