The Wilson campalon Fund

The talk about huge contributions"
to the Wilson campaign fund fizzled
to fitting end when Chairman Nc
Combs OF the Democratic national
committee testified yesterday before
the senate committee.
While one boss gave s177.000 to
Roosevelt's campaign fund. and an
other $4,000. and the contributions
to Taft were seldom recorded In less
than five figures, only three contribu-
tors to Governor Wilson's campaign
gave over $4,000.

cause. and the people are financing
his campaign. They cannot finance

NEW FIRE INSURANCE RATES.
Entire State Has Been Rerated With
Exception OF St. Louis.

Jefferson City-The new fire insur-
ance rates, prepared in compliance
with the rating law enacted by the
forty.sixth general assembly, will be
filed with Frank Blake, state superin-
tendent of insurance, the latter part
II November according to James A.
Waterworth. of ST. Louis, rating ex-
pert, who was here on business with
che insurance department.
Mr.. Waterworth says the entire
state has been re.rated, except the
city OF St Louis. and that the com.
mittee handling the work is now en-.
gagged there.
The new rates must be approved by
superintendent Blake before they be,
come effective. That they will be-
somewhat lower when taken as Il
whole than the rates now in force, is
the opinion of Waterworth. They will
be higher, he believes, upon some
classes of risks than the old ones.

Not Striving for Free Trade.

trade or anything that remotely re.

possible TO do away with imposts so

BALTIMORE, July 1.-The Demo-
cratic convention was 9gain the center
of animation to-day and from an early
hour the crowds began TO besiege at 9
o'clock. The galleries were thrown
open to the general public without
tickets or other credentials and they
were Immediately filled to their
capacity. The delegates Were slow in
arriving. The weather was moder-
ately warm, but the convention hall
was kept comfortble by the breeze
that fluttered through the large tran
som. The conditions are more com.
Portable than those Of Friday and Sat-
urday.
Eager interest was everywhere mani
tested in the struggle about to be re-
newed and specultiOn was abundant as
to whether the. deadlock would be
broken and on the possibility of other
sensational coups. The general senti-
ment which prevailed was. that moth
ing definite had been done to bring
about close to the deadlock and if
anything the lines were even tighter
than before.
When Chairman James entered the
hall and ascended the platform he was
greeted with an enthusiastic round of
applause and he introduced the chap
lain of the day who pronounced the
invocation. AS the chaplain concluded
his prayer Mr.. Bryan at the head of
the Nebraska delegation entered the
hall and the audience wildly cheered.
Chairman James appealed to the
galleries and all guests of the conven-
tion to refrain from delaying the bust
ness of the convention by applause or
other Interruptions and a resolution
was passed to appoint committee to
request an extension of time on the
return coupons of rilroad tickets held
by the delegates of the convention.
Many of the delegates held informal
caucuseS in their sections of the con-
vention hall where the events since
Saturday were discussed and the con-
troversy between Mr.. Bryan and Mr..
Clark was the uppermost subject of
conversation. In all corners of the hall
men engaged in heated debate.
The twenty seventh ballot showed
but little change in the vote, Clark
leading by margin Of 81 votes, with
the gathering of vote here and there
on each ballot, while those in the rear

as irreproachable. The crowd at once
started a demonstration and Mr.. Bryan

NO SOLUTION IS IN SIGHT.

BALTIMORE, July 2.-12 AZ a. m.
With the democratic National Con-
vention hopelessIy deadlocked. an ad-
journment was taken this morning at
IL AZ o'clock, until noon to-day, when
it will assemble to again resume the
balloting with the hope of soon reach
ing the nomination for the Democratic
President.
At Il o'clock tonight the last ballot
was taken, resulting as follows: Will
son, 494: Calrk, APO Underwood, 1O4
Harmon. 72; Bryan. 1-2; Kern, l (;
Foss, 2S Gaynor l., James. l; Lewis.
l; absent, 1-2. Total, 1,0S8.
There was no material change in the
vote of the candidates on the last bal-
lot, although Wilson, who has been
gaining steadily in the balloting since
the morning session yesterday, lost
little ground
The last ballot was the forty-second
Speaker Champ Clark reached the
lowest ebb of his candidacy On the bal
lot where Wilson reached the crest.
He went down to 422 votes Eat this
time, sbut Immediately began to pick up
until he had 430, when adjournment was
taken. The high water mark of Will
son vote was reached on the thirty
ninth ballot. when he received a total
of sol l-2 votes.
That the delegates are tired of vot-
ing and are earnestly desirous that the
convention come to an end Is apparent
During the session tonight the dele
gates sat in SOFT OF stuper. The roll
call clerks entered the vote mechaD-
Ically, often without waiting for re-
sponse from the various States. At
the end of the fortieth ballot a tired
Alabama delegate offered motion for
adjournment, when the Wilson forces
demanded a roll call lthe motion was,
witdarwn. By the time the fortieth
ballot was taken there was seemingly
no hope of a nomination tonight.

REMARKABLE AUCTIONS.
Webster City Man Cries Eighty-Five
Farm Sales For a Total of
Nearly $275,OOO.OO.

Webster City, Iowa, Mar. Cool.
G. w. Marvel of Webster City has
just finished a most remarkable auc-
ton sale season. He has cried be-
tween eighty and eighty-five sales,
aggregating approximately 1915, 900.
The amount of real wealth there is
in the country and the condition in
which the average farmer finds him
self these days may be judged when
Mr.. Marvel gives it as his judgment
that from sixty to seventy-five per-
cent of all these sales have been for
actual cash.
The largest farm sale, in point of
attendance, held in Hamilton county
this Year, was John Sloane's sale,
attended by 500 people. The sale
Melted $4,000. An attendance OF
three hundred at farm sale is con-
sidered large hereabouts.
Prices generally here have been
very satisfactory all season. They
have run about as follows: Brood
mares $3.50 to $500, teams $500 to
$500, COWS $25 to 500, sows SIC
to $65, hay $40, seed corn So to
$3.50 a bushel, though Col Marvel
sold the prize bushel at the corn
show for 500.

LIFE ON A WESTERN CLAIM.
Public Opinion Subscriber Gives His
Impression of Western Life
in Verse.


My house is built of native soil,
It's walls are erected according to
Hoyle;
The roof has no slant, but level and
plain,
And l always get wet when it hap
pens to rain.
Then, with Dakota, the land of the
west,
There farmers and merchants are
always at rest,
With nothing to do but sweetly re-
main,
And starve to death, wild west is
to blame.
My clothing is ragged, my language
is rough;
The rabbits are scarce, poor eat
ing and tough.
My money all gone and / can't get
away,
It's here / have settled and here
must stay.
How happy / feel when ! crawl in
my bed,
The rattlesnakes rafting over my
head;
And the mosquito, devoid of all fear,
Crawls over my face and into my
ear.
The little beo-bug, So cheerful and
bright,
Keeps up his laughing half of the
night.
The smart little flea with tacks in
his shoes,
Crawls up through my whiskers
and tickles my nose.
You may all come to the west;
there's room for you all,
Where the winds always blow and
the rain never falls;
There the sun always sets and there
1T remains,
Till we're all frozen out on our
government claims.
But don't get discouraged stuck out
on a claim,
There's nothing to lose, there's
nothing to gain;
There's nothing to eat, there's moth
ing to wear;
And nothing for nothing is honest
and fair.
Yes, don't get discouraged if stuck
on claim,
Remember you're as free as a pig
in a pen.
Just stick on your homestead and
battle the fieas;
You may trust to the north to
send us freeze.
You may try to raise wheat, you
may try to raise rye;
You may stay mere and live, you
may stay here and die;
But !, for myself, will no longer re-
main,
Starving to death on a govern
ment claim.

Tubercular Cattle,

Veterinary Sayers was called a
week or so ago to go down the state
somewhere to inspect herd of pure
bred Short Horn cattle that was sus-
pected of being tubercular. Four
teen of the herd responded to the
tuberculin test, among them an i'm
ported $500 COW and yearling
heifer, which, like all the others ap-
peared to be i'm the pink of condi-
ton. The fourteen animals were
shipped to Sioux City and slaughter
ed, and every one proved to be badly
infected. The owner of the animals
had to bear all the loss. The heart,
lungs and liver of that 5000 cow
We're exhibited at the Short Course
in Algona, and the inroads of the
disease were plain to be seen. Great
patches of all these organs were
completely changed in color and
seemed to be eaten by the tubercular
germ. And still that COW was fat
and apparently healthy. Of course,
when the disease went far enough
the animal would sicken and die as
would human being.-Algona
