A Bouquet for "Our Cady."

Cedar Falls Record: William,
better known as Billy Weldon of
Iowa Falls, has announced his can
didacy for state senator in the Thir-
ty-seventh district comprising the
counties of Hamilton, Hardin and
Wright. This district was ably rep
resented in the last two sessions of
the legislature by Daniel Cady
Chase, of Webster City, the intel
lectual giant of the upper house.
Senator Chase is a master of rhet-
oric, of logic and if necessary Of
satire and invective. When it be-
comes known that the senator is to
speak the galleries fill up and men,
bers desert the cloak rooms. He is
the peer of any other man in Iowa
for keen wit and brilliant oratory.
He is lawyer who sways juries.
He will fight harder for a penni-
less client than he will for rich
one. money is SOrdld detail to be
considered only as a necessity, and
having plenty of it for his comforts
he doesn't worry much about the
accumulation of it. "Cady" is in
corruptible and doesn't care a tink-
er's dam for place, power, or pedi-
gree and when he gets on the trail
of crooked deal or a crooked poll
tician the innocent bystander had
better take to the woods. Whether
you agree with "Cady" or not you
admire his ability, his fearlessness
and candor and while Mr.. Weldon is
qualified to repre-
sent the district, the Iowa senate
would feel keenly the loss of Sena-
tor Chase. Here's hoping he returns.

ADMIRAL DEWEY DE-
MES PRINCESS MADE
THREATS Of arrest
Admiral Says Portrait of Himself
Painted by Her Is a Poor One
Still Has It.

Washington, D. c., April 90
Admiral George Dewey denied that
he had been threatened with arrest
by Princess Lwolff Parlaghy of Hun
gary for not returning to her a por-
trait of himself which the princess
painted in 1900. The admiral said:
"There is no truth in the report
that have been threatened with ar
rest. In 1900, soon after l returned
from the east, Princess Parlaghy
painted portrait of me. She car
ried the picture away. Last year a
storage firm wrote Mrs. Dewey they
had the picture and were about to
sell it for storage rent. Mrs. Dewey
purchased the picture, which is a
poor one, at a small figure. Last
fall some preacher in New York, I
have for the moment forgotten his
name, wrote me in behalf of Prin-
cess Parlaghy demanding $1,000 as
the price for the picture. l wrote
an answer to the letter telling the
princess to come and get the picture,
that I would not pay her anything
for it. That is the last l have heard
of the princess or the clergyman. I
still have the picture"

Bread
LEFT FOR FAMILY
Davenport Case is Being Investigate
ed by Pinkerton Detectives.

Davenport, April 2O.-Pinkerton
detectives are investigating the mys-
ferrous poisoning of the John Carl
son family, 2O16 Iowa street, in
which father, mother and two lit
tie children were poisoned and mar
rowly escaped death.
Three weeks ago the Carlson fam
lily, which is in destitute circum-
stances, discovered bundle on the
back porch. On opening the bundle
it was found to contain a few loaves
OF homemade bread, seemingly left
by some charitable person who wish
ed to remain unknown. The bread
was eaten and no i'll effects discover
ed.
Thursday another loaf was left
and was gladly welcomed to the
Carlson family table. All of the fam
lily Immediately became deathly sick
after eating it, their illness being
diagnosed as arsenic poisoning. An
other loaf was left Saturday and was
turned over to the po-
lice. 1t has been sent to the state
at Des Moines for analysis.
Pinkerton detectives are now inves-
tigating the cause. No motive for
the crime is known.

IAV|AT0RS DIE
WHEN MACHINES
CLASH IN AIR
Pilot and Passenger Burned to Death
in Wreckage of Aeroplanes at
Buc, France.

Buc, France, April 20.-The avia-
tor Francois de Roy and Marcel
Daublin, who was making a fight
with him, were burned to death as
a result of a collision in the air yes
terday. Thousands of spectators wit
messed the accident.
De Roy's machine and another pi-
.loted by the aviator Bedault, with
a passenger, M. Palladeau, collided
in midair.
Evidently the gasoline tanks ex-
ploded for both machines burst in
to flames and plunged to the earth.
Bedault and Palladeau, although
seriously injured, managed to extri-
cate themselves from the blazing
wreckage, but De Roy and Dablin
were pinned down and the intense
heat prevented rescuers from ap-
proach.

Electricity on the Farm.

Ackley Journal: The telephone
service has been of immense conven-
fence to farmers but the electric
light service, that is being similarly
distributed from the country towns
to farm residences, is of greater
utility. Electric lighting of farm
homes, stables, ETC., will greatly les
sen insurance rates and will do
away with a great deal of the in
convenience of after-dark work,
which is indispensable to certain
seasons of the year.

Paving not Satisfactory.

| Eagle Grove Eagle: At the meet
ing of the council Monday nigh
there was a large attendance of cit
liens with protests against the pro
posed paving on the streets fol-
which their property would be sub
ject for the assessment for the cost
A large majority of the abuttine
property was represented in the pro.
tests along every street in which the
proposed paving had been advertis-
ed.
The council did not feel justified
in overriding the sentiment and
wishes of SO large a majority of the
people who would have to pay the
cost Of the improvement and in this
action the Eagle believes they have
taken the only consistent, and the
only just course.
There are many valid reasons why
there should be a year of "watchfuI
waiting in the paving of the streets
in this city. Last years paving is
pot satisfactory, and is yet an uncer-
tain problem. This years taxes are
unusually high. There is no conclu-
sion as to what is the best or most
desirable kind of paving, and there
is a general sentiment against the
kind SO far put down. There is also
a general feeling that the cost has
been unnecessarily high. A year in
which to think these things over
and in which to get re-adjusted to
the new conditions will result in the
best for the city we believe. And
when paving is again taken up there
will be little opposition and more
general approval.
The council has done the right
thing in deferring to the wishes of
those upon whom would fall the cost
Of the paving. In no case should
paving be arbitrarily forced upon
those who have it to pay for. I'm
less a majority of such desire it no
council should ever order it. That !
IS safe.

HON. J. |. kAMRAR
IS A CANDIDATE
Would Like to Succeed Judge Lee
Upon the District Bench
Lee to Resign.
GOV. CLARKE WILL APPOINT
Appointee to Serve Until the First
Of January-Webster City
Wants Judge.

AS soon as it was known in Web
ster City that Judge Lee would re
sign, friends of Hon. J. L. Kamra!
urged him to become a candidate fol
the vacancy and he consented to d.
| so. Mr.. Kamrar is one of the bes-
known lawyers in central Iowa ant
a short term upon the district bench
would round out fittingly his career
as a successful barrister and man Of
affairs. Judge Kamrar" would
sound good to the people of Webster
City and efforts will be made to in.
duce Gov. Clarke to appoint him
Mr.. Kamrar was urged some months
ago to become a candidate for the
full term of four years and while
admitting that he would like to be
judge did not feel like obligating
himself to serve four years. Now,
however, the situation is just as he
desires to have it. He would like
the honor of serving upon the bench
for a short time and his friends in
Hamilton county, who are legion,
would be pleased to see him realize
this laudable ambition.
All of the candidates for district
judge want the appointment to go
to some lawyer who will not be a
candidate to succeed himself, hence
there can be no objection to Mr..
Kamrar upon that score. -
A number of Webster City attor-
neys were interviewed this morning
in regard to the candidacy Of Mr..
Kamrar and every one approached
was heartily in favor of his appoint
ment.
A. N. Boeye stated that Judge
Kamrar sounded good to him. And
expressed the hope of his being ap-
pointed.
J. D. Porter said that he was
heartily in favor of Mr.. Kamrar's
Irwin Meltzer of the firm of
Thompson & Meltzer, is in hearty
accord with the candidacy of Mr..
Kamrar and hopes that the entire
bar of Hamilton county will support
him.
G. F. Tucker said he was glad to
hear of Mr.. Kamrar coming out and
hoped he would be appointed.
I. J. sayrs stated he was glad to
hear of Mr.. Kamrar's candidacy and
that in his opinion he should be CIV
en- this honor, as his party affilia-
ton in the past should bring him
proper consideration.
]. NJ. Blake stated that a man of
Mr.. Kamrar's long experience and
ability would be very acceptable and
he sincerely hoped he would be sue
,essful in his candidacy.
R. G. Remley was pleased to hear
VI Mr.. Kamrar being a candidate
md said that by all means the Ham,
lton County bar should heartily
Import him.
o. J. Henderson stated that he
vas very glad to see Mr.. Kamrar en-
er for the position vacated by
Judge Lee.
Wesley Martin made known his
upport of Mr.. Kamrar and express
d hope that he might be appointed.
NJ. J. Mattice is also heartily sup
orting Mr.. Kamrar.
Other attorneys in the city were
ot found in their Offices and their
pinions could not be secured, but
here seems little doubt but what
ach and every one will do every
hing possible to help the candidacy
