There will be nothing for the coun-
ty conventions of both parties in De-
catur county to do this year but elect
few township committeeman.
The progressive and socialist vote
was very small, and was only given
by few of the election boards on the
outside of the returns, so the exact
number cannot be stated.
State Results.
1t is impossible to give accurate
figures on the state tickets, as the
returns are being sent in very slow
ly, but it is evident that Clarke is
the republican nominee for governor
and Hamilton the democratic nomi-
nee. Returns from twenty-nine coun-
ties complete gave Clarke 20, ,219, Lee
10,1O8 and Rowley 4,365. On the
democratic ticket returns from twen-
ty-one counties complete gave Ham
ilton 9,693 and McGinnis 1904.
Hamilton ran strong in the big cities
where fair vote was cast and in the
rural precincts where McGinnis was
strongest the smallness of the vote
made his nomination impossible.
Cummins wins out ON the republi-
can ticket for United States Senator
thirty counties giving him total of
29,882 as against 1872 for Savage.
Connolly has apparently won for
United States Senator on the demo-
cratic ticket, fifty-five counties giving
Connolly 24,521 to 2O,258 for Mere
dith. The Meredith headquarters say
that final returns from all the cOun-
ties would overcome Connolly's lead,
al included in the above figures were
Dubuque county, which gave Connol-
lysa majority Of 6,10O over Meredith
in the county.
It, is impossible at the time The
Reporter went to press at noon on
Wednesday to attempt to give results
or figures on the balance of the state
candidates. In the congressional dis
tricts where there were contests for
the nomination the following Is the
probable results:
Second-W. J. Mcdonald of Iowa
City, democrat, defeated Thomas
Stapleton, of Marengo.
Third-B. F. Sweet, OF Waverly,

Special Prices for Roosters.

This is the time of year when

cents per pound for all roosters, old
or young. They must be brought in
Friday and Saturday to get this

bic. MCGinnis Defeated.
Results in Decatur County.

There was an exceedingly light
vote cast by all parties in Decatur
county at the primary election last
Monday, there being but 934 republi-
can voters and 621 democrats voting
for governor. Two years ago the
republicans cast 1851 votes and the
democrats 864, the total vote this
year being almost thousand votes
less than two years ago. There were
no contests on the county ticket ex-
cept for county attorney on the re-
publican ticket, and no contests for
any of the democratic nominations
in the county, and this accounts in
some degree for the lightness of the
vote, but the vote all over the state
was very light, and many are pre-
dieting that the day of the primary
election in Iowa is doomed, as it is
not very satisfactory way of nomi-
mating after ALL
The following is the vote cast in
this cOl1ntv.

Laymen Willing to Work

The Laymen's Efficiency league, repre- senting about 1000 men of the Episcopal church in metropolitan New York, re- ports the finding of a general sentiment among New York laymen of the church named that they are more than willing to take hold and help with personal work if they can be shown that practical re- suits flow from it. The same men say they find in the present methods of Sum- day school. of sermons, and of conduct of the average parish nothing that to them seem likely to get much of any where. The same men furthermore de- clare that they are not irreligious and do not stay away from vital connection with organized church effort for any reason other than they, to them, it seems to fail to arrive at a worth while goal.
 The league plans a church efficiency congress in New York in October, and has been granted official buildings. includ- ing Trinity church, at the head of Wall street, for its meetings. The league de- clares against a programme of work for laymen that separates religious from seo- ular, and insists that all work, including political work, has and should have in it the Christian spirit.
 Tn it's announcements, just issued the league affirms that the church, meaning it says, the whole Christian propaganda Catholic and Protestant, offers the great est opportunity to men to reach and ben eft mankind and that the same church is not now prescribing methods that ap- peal to active, progressive laymen. The purpose of the congress is to proclaim methods that will appeal to men. While in charge of laymen in the Episcopal church, special invitations have been or dered sent to leaders in some other bodies. including the Catholic, to join in formulating of plans. One thousand laymen have, in midsummer pledged to attend the congress in October.

The step of tbis great Methodist institution is held to be one of the most significant in tho whole range of industrial protection, but book concern employees receive such pro- lection in addition to that given them by the concern.
 This Methodist Book Concern is by far the oldest publishing house in the United States, and one of the largest. It began in Philadelphia on $600 capital-and that was borrowed money-and 1t has distributed in profits more than $5,0Oo,0O0 Oddly, 1t has always been managed by ministers, whom many think to be not good business men, and 1t has succeeded uniformly in a business wherein scores of concerns managed by laymen have failed and dis appeared. The profits of the concern go to aged Methodist ministers, and last year $300.000 were distributed, the highest amount in the history of the concern,
 In the distribution of the policies pub lie meetings of the employees were held, and addresses made by leaders. Explana- tion of the principles governing the con- cern and its radical protective plan were made. An outcome is a cooperation be- tween employees and employer such as has never before obtained. Tho concern, through its western and eastern houses, does 0 business considerably exceeding $3, ,000,000 a year.

in church peace conference in Constance, Germany on August 2, 50 of them prom inent American leaders, will consider among other topics, it is given out "The Roman Catholic Chuch and Peace Move ment," the purpose being not to criticize it, but to ascertain if possible workable methods by which cooperation between Protestants and Catholics may be util- ized. It is understood that the Catholic peace conference, sitting in Belgium at the same time, will talk over the Protes- tant relation to the movement
 Other questions will be a proposed con- gross of the churches of Great Britain, Canada and the United States to celebrate 100 years of peace; education in theological schools, looking to the making of min isters of the future more inclined toward peace sentiments; war and peace bud gets, the German and British councils aimed at bringing about political feeling between their nations and whether, as an outgrowth of the Constance conference, world congress of churches shall be called within the next year or two.
 While the Constance meeting will be informal, and will be held in hotel par Tor, it is expected that one tangible out come will be systematic interchange of preachers during the next five years, sending American pulpiteers to England and Scotland and bringing English preachers here. As far and as fast as language conditions admit interchanges on the continent are proposed, and some of both are to be sent to the far east, if present Carnegie union plans go through. Most emphasis is to be put upon educa- ton in the United States, Great Britain, Germany and France, and also Japan as lations that, committed to peace, will compel other nations to the same com mitment.

 "Ellis, I've worked pretty hard for quite while now and have done pretty well, so I have about decided to retire and turn the business over to you. What do you say?"
 Ellis pondered the situation gravely for a moment then his face brightened and he replied
 Say, pop, how would 1t do for you to work n few years longer and then tho two of Us retire together?"
