The Iowa Success school has leased
from Judge UT for term of seven
years, the second floor of the New Utt
building at the corner of Second and
Green streets and will move into their
new quarters within the next thirty
days This handsome building is es-
pecially adapted for the school work,

home that can not be equaled in the

wood floors, the large number Of ele-
CANT electric light fixtures, the splen-
did way in which the rooms are furn-

the tiled. wash rooms, the fine new
heating plant all go to make this the
best equipped and most luxurious
rooms used for like purposes In the
state. The building, by reason OF it's
being away from the dirt and noise

Dear Frank:
81 am just writing this for the pur-
pose of advising you that the outlook
is very good for a very large attend
ance at Ottumwa at the time of our
convention. Almost every one of the
fellows I have seen in this part of the
state advise me that they are going
and if the representation is as strong
from down around Ottumwa where 1t
should be stronger, we ought to have
200 postmasters there instead of 16O
as we had last year. The leave OF
absence has been granted, and j. c.
Koons, superintendent of the division
of salaries and allowances and George
Daniel, inspector-in- charge, st. Louis,
Mo-, have been delegated to attend, and
Chief Clerk Hughes Of Burlington has
also said he would be present. In ad-
jc nr0hQh1a that
we will have General De Graw with us
or DR.. Grandfield, and it Is not an i'm
probable thing that We will have both
of them. This latter matter Is not en-
tirely settled as yet, and we are making
every effort to line the thing up,
and the last letter had from Mr.. Weed
director of the postal savings system,
to whom has been referred the matter
of correspondence relative to the as
signment Of talent for our meeting, he
intimated that Mr.. De Graw would be
present for all three days, and that DR..
Grandfield would probably be there
the last day, or May 3. If we are sue.
cessful in accomplishing this, it will
be lust about the best array Of talent
that has ever been assigned to ~~an

which Ottumwa will be proud Of enter.

out of the running, if the figures given are correct,
Bryan received 2 votes.
Both Clark and Wilson gained on the second
ballot. Clark gaining 6, Wilson 16. AT. this writ
ing it looks very much like Woodrow Wilson will
be the democratic nominee. The BEACON came
out for him four years ago. He is an able, honest

president if elected.
