IOWA IS SURELY
FIGHTING GROUND
Action of Republican County Con-
ventions Indicate Republican
3 Decentralization.

That the republican party Of
Iowa is demoralized is evidenced by
the action of the various republican
conventions held Saturday. 1t is
the usual and ordinary thing for
county conventions to endorse the
national administration and the
work of the national convention,
but this custom was not generally
followed this year. In fact only a
few endorsed Taft's administration
or his nomination. The majority or
them lodged the issue, just as the
Hamilton county convention did.
This shows widespread dissatisfac-
tion and portends hard fight to
carry the state for the national
ticket. In Hardin county resolu-
ton instructing the delegation to
the state convention to vote against
any resolution favorable to Taft
carried by a vote of 81 to 20. The
Kossuth convention refused to en-
dorse Taft by a vote of 81 to s.
Roosevelt was commended by the
Washington county convention.

THE FIRE MARSHAL
ISSUES Warming
Ole 0. Roe Cautions the Public Of
the Dangers Attending
Celebrations.

Ole o. Roe, state fire marshal, has
sent the Freeman-Tribune the fol-
lowing self-explanatory communica-
tion:
The Glorious Fourth is near at
hand.
Inasmuch as its celebration Is all
ways attended with the use of some
form of fire works, I deem a word
Of caution in order
More than 200 persons die; the
ngers or eyes of more than 1000
children are destroyed, and more
than 600 buildings are burned an
nually in the United States as the
result of the careless use of fire.

The small fire cracker burns more
houses than any other form of fire.
works, and the paper balloon is a
most dangerous fire producer.
The common sky rocket will set
fire to any inflammable matter into
which it may fall.
More incendiary fires occur on the
Fourth than on any other day.
The Fourth is the fireman's bus
lest day. ..
The remedy Is care.
Never allow fire crackers or other
kinds of fireworks to be exploded or
thrown in the back part of the
yard, in back alleys, in or near
barns or close to buildings contain
ing inflammable matter.
Do not let young children handle
fireworks: impress the older chill
dren with the danger of it.
Remember that all fireworks con-
tain dangerous explosives and
should be handled with the greatest
care.
Remove all rubbish and all dry
grass and other inflammable sub
stances from your premises before
the Fourth. '-s -: .-'.--;
Be patriotic, but let your patriot
ism be tempered with caution and
common sense.
Make it a safe and sane Fourth.

GEORGE ELY
!. !. IS CALLED
Died at Family Home on West Sec
ond Street Following
Long and Painful
Illness.
WAS PAST u YEARS OF AGE
An Old Time Resident-Came to-
Hamilton County With his
Family in 1865.

Geo. Ely died at the family home
on West Second street yesterday
morning at 10:40 o'clock. His de-
mise was caused by general break
down and heart disease. Mr.. Ely's
death comes after long and pain
full illness, he having been very low
for many weeks. .....
George Ely was born in Sodus,
New York, on the 7th of February,
1910, being therefore u years of
age at his last birthday. He was
married in Toulon, Ill.,, May 9th,
1860, to Carrie Johnson. In August,
1862, he joined the union army,
becoming a member of Company F,
112th Illinois infantry. He served
three years and at different times
his regiment was attached to the
army of Burnside, Sherman and
Grant. He served until the close of
the war and made a good record as
a soldier. 49,. .. ...
In 1866, accompanied by his wife,
he came to this city from Illinois,
travelling across the country, there
being no railroad here in those early
days. When he landed in Webster
City his entire fortune was a little
more than $100. He rented farm
of man who furnished stock and
machinery and farmed in this way
until 1882, when he bought ESQ
acres in Fremont township, for
which he paid $50 per acre. He
engaged quite extensively in stock
raising and made a financial success
of all his farming operations In
1891 he removed from his farm to
this city, remaining here for six
years, then returning to his farm.
A couple of years later he again
came to town, purchased fine home
on West Second street and lived
there until his death.
Mr.. Ely was a progressive citizen,
an upright man, good neighbor,
true husband and a generous and
kind parent and he died with the
respect and esteem of large circle
Of friends and acquaintance.
The deceased is survived by his
wifo and fya childran-NjSs A Ira
Albert and John Ely of this city;
Mrs. Ed Gallery of Duncombe, and
Mrs. Geo. Lewis, northeast Of WOOL

FATHER NORTON WILL
LEAVE THIS CITY
Appointment Of Local Priest as Pas
tor at Waukon Will not be
Recalled. -

In spite of the efforts on the part
of his parishioners, Father M. K.
Norton, of the Catholic church, will
leave this city for Waukon, next
week, where he will take up his du-
ties as pastor of the church in that
city. BY sending a petition to the
archbishop it was hoped that Faith
er Norton might be retained. Sun
day Archbishop Keane was in Clar-
ion where he confirmed a class Of
children in the morning. Hoping to
have the appointment recalled a
party of Catholics Of this city start
ed for Clarion Sunday to inter-
view the archbishop. However,
weather conditions would not allow
them to continue and they were
forced to return. The countermand-
ing of the appointment was found
to be an impossibility, however, ow-
ing to the many changes among
priests of this diocese. Father Nor
tons is but one of six changes that
are to take place within the next
two weeks. 1t was thought that
should the transfer of Father Norton
be made he would leave some time
this week. However, he does not
take charge of his new work until
next week, and next Sunday will be
his last in this city. ~.
Owing to the popularity of Faith
er Norton and the fact that it was
thought to be his last Sunday here,
the Catholic church was we'll filled
with on-Catholics last Sunday.
The appointment of Father Nor
ton to the Waukon pastorate is be-
ing received with great favor by the
Catholics of that town. His going
to that city Is quite an advancement
and 1t will be his final pastorate, as
the priest in that parish is irremov-
able, he staying the rest of his life,
Waukon being one of the few par
ishes of that kind, it only recently
having been put in that class. Faith
er Norton's congregation there will
be much larger than in Webster
City and he will have an assistant
priest.

cago convention. Winnebago did
likewise. Greene county endorsed
Roosevelt and denounced the Chi
cago convention. Jefferson county
went on record for Roosevelt. Mad
ison county refused by vote Of 81
to 33 to adopt resolution endors-
ing Taft. Osceola denounced the
Chicago convention. Iowa county
endorsed Taft, as did Audubon, Cass,
Boone, and Wapello. The Register
and Leader of Sunday morning had
dispatches from seventy of the nine
ty-nine counties of the state, and If
the Freeman-Tribune has checked
them correctly the foregoing are the
only ones that had resolutions
touching the national situation.
This is very significant and shows
.conclusively that the present senti-
ment among republicans In this
state is against the president.
