CONVENTION DETAILS PLANNED
CONVENTION MAY LAST THREE
OR FOUR DAYS At CHICAGO.
Tickets to be Distributed With Prefer
ence Shown Contributors
to Campaign.

Chicago, July 22.-Three or possibly
four days will be the duration of the
third party national convention to
open in Chicago, August 5, according
to details decided at Roosevelt head
quarters.
The tickets will provide for four
days, but it is expected all the work
will be completed within three days.
The tickets are to be distributed
with preference shown toward appli.
cants who will have contributed
money toward the expenses. 1t is fig.
ured by the Roosevelt leaders that al
most the entire cost of $4,000 for ex'
penses may be paid by the sale OF
tickets.
The press seats probably will be as.
signed on Monday.
George F. Porter, chairman Of the
committee on hall said the arrange
ments for the convention will be the
same as those at the Republican con-
vention as the seats, platform and
special exits from the press tables
to the telegraph rooms remain intact.
The delegates, however, will require
only half the number of seats needed
at the Republican convention as there
will be only one Roosevelt delegate
for every two Republican delegates.
This will leave more than 500 more
seats for spectators.
Senator Joseph M. Dixon. Colonel
Roosevelt's campaign manager, is ex-
pected here to take up with Medill
Mccormick in charge Of the Chicago
headquarters the arrangements for the
convention. 1t was believed at head
quarters that Senator Dixon would in
sist on a full third party ticket in
Illinois as he did in Michigan.

referring to the licensing of intiner-

committee was appointed to present
the matter before the city council,
with recommendation that it be
adopted. A committee was also ap-
pointed to place signs on the west
and east entrances of the ice cave
driveway warning all vehicles to
drive only from west to east, so that
there will be no danger in passing.
While this is one of the most beauti-
full drives in the west, yet it is not
perfectly safe to pass in various
places, and it is hoped that everyone
will drive only in the one direction,
from west 10 east, thus eliminating
danger of accident.

A special train came to DEBORAH
last Thursday, bearing an important
company of the officials of the Rock

an inspection CT the line with view
to ascertain it's needs in improve
ments, and we are given to under
stand that the division between here
and Cedar Rapids is to receive con-
siderable attention in the near fut-
ure. 1t certainly needs it. 1t is in
almost dangerous condition now, and
the increased business over the Rock
Island ought to make them realize
the necessity of substantial improve
ments. In the PARTY were Messrs
w. NJ. Whittenton, general manager;
F. j. Easley, assistant general man.

tendent; J. Holmquist division fore

dar Rapids and over the line gener-
ally. that the Rock Island was con-
templating the sale of the DEBORAH
division, in fact the old b., c. r. &
n. railway 10 the Northwestern, but
the railroad men and others, who
ought to know, disclaim any knowl-

The corn was planted on May FL, is

a little over ten feet in height, and
about as fine specimens of corn as

while the case was not a serious one,
yet it goes to show how careful the
state is in guarding the selling of

tries to sell skinned milk for I'M
