Coolly, yet without in the least
comprehending how best to proceed,
Keith drew toward him the only chair
in the room, and sat down. MISS
Hope-more widely known as Christie
Maclaire-had claimed this druuien
lad as her brother, but, according 70
Hawley, he had vehemently denied
any such relationship. Yet there must
be some previous association between
the two, and what this was the plains
man proposed to discover. The prob

to talk frankly-could he be reached
more easily by reference to the girl
or the gambler? Keith studying the
sullen, obstinate face confronting
him. with instructive antagonism over
his intrusion, swiftly determined on
the girl.

suited Sunday when the little son Of

years. died from burns sustained Sat-
urday afternoon from the explosion Of
an ordinary small firecracker.
The little fellow had lighted the

clothing on fire, and causing such ter
rible burns that death followed at 3
o'clock Sunday morning.

Is almost unbearable. Another child

There will be no bolt from the repub-
lican party. no organization of third
party: neither will there be any at
tempt to gloss over the critical situa-
ton and to whitewash what has been
done in violation Of all principles OF
right and justice at Chicago and else

The main thing is to be a firm stand
for the primary system Of making nom

ton of candidates for president. there

what was done at Chicago where there
was refusal to commend the primary
dict Of the people as rendered at pfi-

No stronger delegation has been
named to the republican state conven-
ton from Des Moines for q long time
The delegation is headed by Charles A
Rawson, the friend and manager OF
Senator Kenyon, who will probably be
the Seventh district member of the
state committee to handle the coming
campaign.
The general plan Of the state cam
paign seems to be to organize to get
out the largest possible republican
vote in the state and to secure that
vote for all the candidates on the ticket
Of which there will be about twenty or
every ballot. but no effort will be made
to fix upon any one as affording ar
absolute test Of republicanism; ir
other words, there will be no bludgeor
to try to compel all the voters to vote
for Taft and Sherman. or these par.
ticular candidates for elector who rep
resent them In this state. The pre-
cedents Of the past will be recognized
and the right Of individual republican.

No effort has a. yet been made tc

A new organization Of uplift has ap.
peared in Des Moines and has takel
up the work Of trying to make Del
Moines a better place in which to livl
and better place to visit. This 1.
what is called the civic Improvement
committee Of the Des Moines Com
mercial League. It Is to undertake the
work of making Des Moines at least
fairly pleasant during state fair week
in August. In the past there has been
great deal of complaint. and merited
because Des Moines has not made much
over the state fair. In fact the i'm
preston is out that about all Des
Moines does during state fair week IL
to charge for everything and make
money.
Now it is proposed that several
things be done among them, that the
business district be decorated, that q
welcoming arch be erected, that pave
ment repair be all done prior to that
time, that comfort stations be erected
for all crowds. that unsightly signs be
prohibited and removal of express
wagons from prominent streets. The
city council Is to be asked to have some
of these things done.
