Colonl Roosevelt made threats be-
for the convention opened that if the
delegates which the national commit

out by the convention that he would
bolt as soon as test should show
that he was in the minority, but his
lieutenants overruled him with the
result that the Roosevelt delegates or
practically all of them remained in
the convention until the final adjourn

present but not voting, while others
took part in the proceedings of the
convention until it's conclusion.
The Iowa delegation, without excep-
ton, remained true to the party and
it is said that both of the United
States senators from Iowa will remain
regular and will not consent to join
the new party. Illinois, though
strongly progressive, will remain reg

Missouri, Idaho and some other
states equally favorable to progress

are convinced that the republican
party is itself a progressive party

worked out better within the party

ton SATURDAY
Republican County Convention Will
Be Held at Court House Next
Saturday, June 29th.
TO FILL OUT COUNTY TICKET
Delegates to State Convention at Des
Moines July 10Th, Will be Select
ed-list Of Delegates.

We publish below list of republi.
can delegates elected at the late pri.
mary to attend the county convention,
to be held on June 29th. Under the
law each of the delegates before this
time should have received notifica.
tion of his election from the county
auditor.
We sincerely hope every delegate
elected to the county convention will
be in attendance on Saturday, the
29th, as there will be much business
of Importance to be attended to. One
important thing to be done will be to
fill out vacancies on the republican
ticket and this in itself is sufficient
to justify every delegate being pres
ent.
We understand that the attorney
general of the state holds that where
there are vacancies on the committee
that the member of the old committee
will hold over and will be authorized
to act at the coming convention.
The members of the committee of
last year where there has been no
election this year should make it
point to be on hand on the 29th of this
month to attend the convention.

large crowd of merry makers in Deni.
son this week. The carnival people
arrived in the city Sunday evening and
Monday was devoted to the putting
up of tents and getting attractions
such as carry-us-all and ferris wheel
in readiness. There was very little If
anything to attract attention Monday
afternoon outside of the carry.us-all,
but on Tuesday morning, however,
activity was much in evidence and by
evening the attractions and concess-
ions were set and ready for business.
There are about one hundred people
connected with the carnival and diff
ferent devises to attract small change
are numerous.
The principal attraction is Captain
Dyer's trained animal show. This is
said to be an entertainment of some
merit, the lions being we'll trained
and bears and monkeys furnishing
much amusement for the young people.
The vaudeville company is such as
is to be seen in the average circus
concert and is being fairly we'll pat
ronized. The little horse, snake show,
Lincoln chair and other small attrac-
tions, together with the doll racks,
knife racks, merry-go-round and car
ry-us-all serve to fill out the program.
One noticeable feature lacking is
the absence of band music. We un-
derstand the management has been
making negotiations with two or three
organizations to furnish mu-
sic for the remainder of the week.

caused the small attendance at the
afternoon program, but those living

a fair rate of speed along Smith

Mr.. Starch put over his wheel hard,
and yelled to his family to jump. His
son was the only n who obeyed.
The rear wheels caught on the curb
stone and the machine climbed on the
sidewalk, and this caused the auto to
swing about and slide along the side

Both rear wheels Of the machine were
damaged and the rear axle was badly

and Norman, who doesn't come into
his money until he's of age, went
back to school as though nothing had
happened.
Now the elder Paddock Is resting
in his bed more comfortably than he
ever did, but Simon is sick of his bar

SOUGHT COMMITTEE PLACE

WASHINGTON. Aug. 9.-"Fighting
Bob" La Toilette is now a member of
the committee on interstate COM
merce. an assignment he wanted
badly two years ago. and for which
he fought in vain.

of committee assignments. Nixon
was a member of the Interstate Com
merce Commission, and the steering
committee of the Republicans, made
up largely of the Old Guard. saw the
opportunity to extend the olive
branch to La Toilette and reward mis-
opposition to Roosevelt by offering
him this committeeship.
He took it and made no attempt to
conceal his qualification.

YIELD Up
GUESTS JEWELS
$4,000 Worth, Lost in Fire at
the Dunes, Is Re-
covered.

ALLENHURST, Aug. 9.--Twenty-
FIVE thousand dollars worth OF jewels.
lost by patrons of the Dunes. the
fashionable hotel that was burned
last month, have been recovered from
the ruins.
A committee of three guests. work
ing under the direction of Edward F.
Smith, a mining engineer Of New
York, used placer mining methods
in their search for the missing vaiua-
bies, washing the ashes through
three screenings. There is still about
$4,000 worth of jewels missing. but
the committee has not touched one
remote corner of the ruins. This they
are searching today and it is expected
that a large part of the remaining
missing valuables will be found.
After the fire the guests bought
from Robert S. Schultz, proprietor of
the Dunes. permission TO seareh the
ruins. FRANKLIN Hardcastle, Edward
c. Miller and John l.. Carroll, the
last a resident of Newark. whose
families suffered heavy losses in the
fire, were chosen to assist the
gineer in the work. A sluIce box
was erected in the centre of the ruins
and every shovelful of dirt that the
workmen dug out was placed in this
to be screened.
The first valuable piece of jewelry
that came TO light was a layaliere val
ued at $1.400. belonging to Mrs. Clause
Boiling, of New York. This was
found in the trough last week. After
this treasures appeared frequently.
There are twelve rifles In the run
through which the water forces the
dirt as it is thrown in the siuice box.
and so far none of the valuables have
gotten by the third rifle.
eAs each piece of jewelry Is picked
out of the chute 1t is taken to the
Curlew Hotel. where a description is
fled by the searchers. These descrip-
tons are compared with the letters of
Identification sent the committee by
the guests. and If the descriptions jibe
the articles are turned over to the
owners.
The squad Of workmen that has
been laboring with the searchers has
been reduced from twelve to four
within the past few days, and today
these are busy turning over a pile OF
bricks under which 1t is believed
some of the undiscovered jewelry lies.
Among the lost articles brought to
light were several gold and silver
mesh bags containing money. All of
these we're readily identified by their
owners.
1t has cost the Dunes guests a little
