HOUNDS TO NO AVAIL.

Track Powder Thieves.

Monroe County Sheriff Unable to
Track Powder Thieves.
Abba, Aug. s1.-The bay Of the
genuine bloodhound was heard in Mon
roe county Monday afternoon, but the
bay was all that it amounted to in the
matter Of locating persons who had
broken into tho powder and dynamite
house Of the Abba Coal Company, one
mile south of the city. For some time
locks have been broken on the door
leading into the house and 1t is only
matter OF estimation as to the
amount Of powder and dynamite which
has been taken. The lock was broken
from the door again and was discov-
cred Monday at noon. The hounds
belong at Agency and We're brought to
the city. The trail was old but they led
to a partially filled box of dynamite
which had been hidden in a cornfield.
From there the hounds went on dow,,
to Hooking and became confused among
the many cross tracks.
Sheriff Griffin had the hounds
brought to the city and they came here
in an automobile In one hour from
Ottumwa. A posse followed the lead
Of the hounds and dozens of people were
strung out along the track watching
the dogs at work. The owners of the
mine and the officers feel that they
have located the main direction in
which the guilty person had travelled
and they have laid further traps that
may eventually lead to his arrest.

Des Moines. Aug. Ex-senator Cum
Minis Is not likely, as the result Of his
personal investigation into the politi-
cal situation in Iowa, to change his
attitude as hitherto made known, and
he will continue to stand firmly for
the republican party and republican
principles, and support the republican
party of Iowa and its nominees for
local, county. district judicial. and state
offices. Neither from him nor his
friends can anything be expected in
the way of support for any ticket put
up to make war upon the ticket placed
in nomination at a statewide primary
in June and he will not join in attacks
upon men of prominence in Iowa who
have fairly won republican nomina-
lions, whether they are men who have
been classed as progressives or other
wise,
There are on the state republican
ticket at least six candidates who, as
judged by all the standards by which
We have been going in Iowa, are en-
titled to be classed as progressives, and
who in fact have done some effective
work in promoting the progressive
cause in Iowa. A great deal has been
done by the progressives Of Iowa for
the people Of Iowa: but there is yet
work to be done in promoting pro-
gressive legislation and establishing re-
form policies.

pie The sentiment against TAFT

ing He has also found, to his sur
prise. that the sentiment for Roosevelt
is stronger than he had reckoned on.
1t has also been disclosed to him and
others, as the result of much inquiry.
that the republicans who are planning
to vote for Wilson to punish the re-
publican party are nearly all stand
parters There are very few demo-
Gratis in Des Moines who Ore going to
vote for Roosevelt. but the report Is
that in some parts Of the state Roose-
Welt will get large numbers OF demo-
cratic votes.
But the sentiment among Iowa pro-
gressives for an independent state
ticket is not strong: in fact. perhaps
50 per cent Of all who have 1t in mind
TO vote for Roosevelt are at present
opposed to any state ticket.
The senior senator has been seeing
great many prominent republicans OF
the state since his return. He will un-
doubtedly take a hand in state politics

whose ability to borrow almost un.

brought to light in his hearing az 9
Judgment debtor in the district court
several months ago, Is again to be ex-
planned to the court at little differ
ent angle.
The hearing will come before Judge
Ransier at the September term OF the
district court in the form Of an appeal
by the Farmers State Bank Of Jesup
of case commenced in Justice Kuhn's
court by the bank against Mrs. Mary 4
Palmer. of Jesup. the Central Iowa
Granite Company and Mr.. Boggs. In
which the justice held in favor OF the
defendant. Mrs. Palmer.
SO far as the petitions and exhibita
in the case show the history of the
controversy is about as follows:
Mrs. Palmer ordered a monument Of
the granite company Of which Bogga
was the head and presiding genius
Witnesses testified that she repeatedly
refused to sign any note. She did
however. sign contract agreeing to
pay SOS for the monument which was
to be delivered on certain day in NO
vember of last year.
The contract, however, bears reg
ular note and this bears the name OF
Mrs. Mary Palmer, but whether or not
the signature is genuine is not def
mite. Anyway. Boggs seems to have
discounted the contract or note at the
Jesup bank, receiving 500 for it.
The monument. it seems. was never
delivered and for this reason Mrs. Pal
refused to pay the note. The bank
sued in justice court and Justice
Kuhns held there was no cause for &C
ton. the defendant contending the con-
tract was not negotiable and that no
value was received.
The trial of the case In the district
court will be awaited with interest by
those who admire the Boggs style OF
financial deals.
