Recommendations Of the Anti~Saloon League with
Respect to Legislative Candidates to Be Voted for
on Wednesday, September 9

he Urinary election IS OF primary importance
1t is made especially account Of the plumping'
system which peculiar to the state of Illinois and
applies in the primary as we'll as election for house
members only. At least three-fourths of the egsla-
tive body is made up in the Primary election. The
great difficulty is that many of Our friends have
looked upon the Primary of little Importance. We
got jackpot Legislature in 1909 because less than
40 per of the of the to the Pri

The people of the state want county option
that majority in the county may have the right to
abolish the saloon. They desire laws that will aid in
the enforcement of the law. They desire also to
move the saloon from the vicinity of their homes
where they live and rear their families. The law
makers of the state have the power to grant these
privileges to the citizens of the state and WHETHER
OR NOT THEY ARE TO BE SECURED depends
largely upon the character of the next Legislature,
which shall be determined on Wednesday, Septen-
Der 9.
How the Anti Saloon League Reaches
It's Endorsement.
1t becomes necessary for the Ant-Saloon League
to find out how candidates stand these PROPOSE
tons and recommend them to the voters The League
represents the temperance forces the state capitol
frames and the presentation of measures that
the temperance forces desire 1t observes and records
the attitude and conduct of legislators these
1t reports the stand of these legislators to the
voting constituency of the state For this it
becomes necessary for the Anti-Saoon League to
stand by in its endorsement and its support those
who have good legislative records The man who
voted right at Spring6eld-other things being equal
should have first claim upon the support of the
temperance people. The liquor interests have widely
declared this year they intend to defeat every

The only exception to this principle can be when
who has not intended to make the campaign
comes into the field at late hour after the legisa-
tive campaign has been shaped UP in that district.
In any such case we always make clear to these
that their candidacy would be injurious to the county
option campaign and for that reason they could not
expect the support of the Ant-Saloon League if they
insist coming into the field to the detrment of the
anti-saloon cause thus dividing the dry vote The
first principle of political action of the AntiSaloon
League is the recognition of worthy service in the
general assembly.
In making up recommendations we have
far as possible followed the advice of local
mttee and friends 1t has been necessary, however,
in some cases disregard the advice of in order
to observe the established policies and principles of
League action 1t has been necessary at times to
choose from among candidates in order that there
might not be too many endorsed in the field. We
cannot endorse every dry candidate who enters the
Primary We have forgotten personalities in order
that might stand true to the principles of the
organization
Must Follow Endorsements.
The danger with is that of division If the
people who want county option and other temperance
legislation will but follow the endorsements of the
League we do this job this time In giving

Driving Coal Wagon for John C.
Smith When Fatal Accident
Occurs in Rear of Smith
Barn.
WAGON TONGUE STRIKES POLE.
Mr.. Lovelace Thrown to Ground
Where Heavy Vehicle Passes
Over Him.
TONGUE STRIKES POLE.

A fearful accident occurred Satur-
day morning about $50 o'clock at
the rear of the j. c. Smith transfer
barns, by which Louis l.. Lovelace,
a coal wagon driver, lost his life.
Mr.. Lovelace, who began hauling
for J. C. Smith last Tuesday, had
loaded one of the big drays with two
tons of coal preparatory to hauling
it to the J. H. Stahl residence on
west Second street, and had driven
into the barn where the coal is
weighed and out at the rear door
down the rather steep cement incline
which is the exit from the barn to
the alley.
Across the alley is large tele-
phone post which is placed in just
such a manner that Mr.. Smith has
always given instructions to all of
his drivers to make their turns to
the east and avoid this pole which
makes turn to the west next to i'm
possible. 1t seems that Mr.. Lovelace
thought he could save time by turn

up it's message except by tuning
up with the sending station. On the
load coil, the transformer, and the
induction coil the receiver can ad-
just this apparatus at will to accord
with any sending station and so can
receive any message that may be go
ing out from any station by tuning
up with the sending station. The
federal government, however, regu-
lates sending business that passes
outside of state lines, and if any
body installs sending apparatus Of
sufficient size to send messages out
of the state he must secure GOV
ernment license, the government
fixing his tune" so that other sta
tions may know how to adjust their
machines to accord with each send
ing station.
AS the sound wave passes through
the condenser it is increased in VOL
ume and in the detector, where it
passes through a particle of crystal,
it resolves itself into what in the
phones at the operators ears seem
to be a succession of buzzes, CORES
ponding in length to the key Oper-
alton of the operator sending the
message. There is a wireless code,
somewhat resembling a Morse tele-
graph code, succession of dots and
dashes, which the receiving operator
easily hears and translates into let
ters and words.

Taken to Knoxville.

Deputy Sheriff c. D. Carl left
yesterday for Knoxville, in company
with James Adams, who was COM
mitted to the hospital for inebriates
at that place.
Several, months ago Adams was
taken before the grand jury in Ft.
Dodge, Judge Lee at that time pa
rolling him from the sentence which
is usually given and allowing him
his liberty as long as he was able to
let Intoxicating liquors alone.
Saturday night Adams, who had
been drinking, was taken into GUS
tody upon the request of his wife,
and the matter rested until this
morning when he was committed to
the hospital at Knoxville, the SEN
tence this time being three years
confinement in the hospital, with a
possibility of parole after six months
has elapsed.
Mr.. Adams is a carpenter by trade
and is a good, law-abiding citizen as
long as he lets drink alone. 1t will
be hoped that the treatment at
Knoxville may prove effectual and
Mr.. Adams be speedily cured Of his
abnormal appetite.

Improving Residence.

The residence on west Walnut
street occupied until recently by the
]. A. Berggren family, is undergoing
many improvements. l.. V. Mills,
who bought the place several
months ago, will make it into a fine
home and Mr. and Mrs. Mills intend
to move from their home on east
Third street to this residence in the
spring. The house is being moved
back and a cement block foundation
will be put in. Steam heat, a fully
equipped bath room, electric lights
and gas will be installed. A fine
large sleeping porch will be built
on the rear of the house and the
place will be re-painted.

Hear Outside Sneakers,

The people of the Congregational
church had the pleasure Sunday
of hearing two neighboring speakers
in their pulpit.
Rev. Walter Metcalf Of Blairsburg
spoke in the morning and gave his
hearers very helpful gospel SER
mon, real spiritual uplift. Rev.
Metcalf has just accepted a call to
Cedar Falls and the Congregational
lists Of that place are fortunate in
securing very earnest, sincere and
able pastor. The people of Blairs-
burg will no doubt deeply lament
Rev. Metcalf's going away from that
community.
That evening President Meyer
of Ellsworth college, Iowa Falls, oc-
cupied the pulpit. President Meyer
is a strong speaker and gave his au-
dience a scholarly and highly inter-
esting discourse.

Tarantula in Bananas,

A few moments of excitement was
accorded the clerks in the Crandall
grocery store on Saturday morning,
when a large hairy tarantula jump
ed out from a bunch of bananas
which was being opened. The spider
met an early death by means OF a
banana knife in the hands Of one of
the clerks and was given this morn
ing to Murray McMurray for eXhibi-
tion in the collection Of curios be-
ing assembled by the Boy Scouts. 1t

tip to tip and the bite of the crea-
ture is poisonous, at times produc-
ing death.

DEATH IN AN ACCIDENT

! ing to the west, as his load was to
go in that direction and attempted
to make it, with the result that the
end of the tongue struck the pole
squarely, throwing him from his seat
on the dray. He fell down. between
the horses and the front of the wag-
on, the total weight Of three tons,
passing over his left arm and down
across his chest, crushing the life
out of the unfortunate man so quick
ly that he never knew what struck
him. His neck was dislocated also
by the fall, and when men rushed to
pick him up, blood was gushing from
his mouth and nose, showing that
death had been instantaneous. J. M.
Houghtaling, who was at the rear
of the Elks hall and saw the acci-
dent, called to a man named Porter
who was sweeping the street on Des
Moines street in front of the Little
Chicago cafe. These men were the
first on the scene and picked Mr..
Lovelace up, but life was already ex-
tinct.
Mr.. Lovelace was a day labOrer,
who resided at 105 north Prospect
street and leaves a wife and three
children, a boy of twelve years, an
other about nine or ten and a baby
girl about a year and half old
without the care of husband and
father. The deepest sympathy of
the community goes out to those who
are so suddenly and tragically be-
reaved.
Mr.. Smith has been in the dray
and livery business in this city for
years and this is the
first fatal or serious accident that
any of his many employees ever met
with.

eXander secured a wireless outfit,
in the making of part of which he
had a part. He has been installing
the apparatus at the home of his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Att AleXan-
der, and now has it in operation.
There is a series of three copper
wires strung across near the top OF
two poles 60 feet high, the wires
being insulated from the ground.
These wires receive the sound waves
in the air sent out by wireless send
ing stations, regardless of distance.
Monday night at nine o'clock we
had the fun of hearing a wireless
operator at Arlington, Va, 100
miles away, send the time. From
the aerial a wire circuit leads to
and passes through the various
pieces of apparatus grouped on a
small table in the house where the
receiver, equipped with telephone
headgear, receives the messages
that are circulating through the
air. There are two distinct circuits,
that from the aerial passing
through an apparatus called load

400 turns of every fine wire is in
serted within the transformer and

AUCTION SALE OF
FORTY Town LOTS
Prices Averaged Low-Highest Sum
Paid for Lot $3.50 and
Lowest $50.

The auction sale of lots in the
southwest portion of the city, so
widely advertised by the Dain Town
site company of Waterloo, was held
Saturday afternoon, upon the lots
themselves. A large crowd was in
attendance at the auction sale, some
drawn by a desire to bid and many
more out of curiosity.
Several articles were advertised
to be given away at this time to the
holders of lucky tickets, which were
distributed among the crowd. A. S.
Perry held the ticket which drew
the gold watch, Miss Mildred Boy
sen that which drew the ladies suit,
Mrs. J. J. Kohlbeck held the ticket
which entitled her to the gentle
mans suit of clothes and Mrs. G.
B. Walterick the ticket which en-
titled her to the baby carriage.
There were eighty lots offered in
the sale, the location being desig-
mated in the plat as Wauneta
Heights; of these eighty only forty
were sold, the sale being called OH
earlier than intended on account of
lack of bidding.
The largest amount paid for a lot
was $500. The smallest amount was
$50. Bidding was not very good
and it is said that the company in
tend to hold another auction sale in
the spring. The lots averaged be-
tween $3.50 and $3.50. The Com
pany c band furnished music upon
the streets and later upon the lots,
and the bidding began at 2 o'clock.
The wedding which was adver-
tised to take place failed to mater
ialize, as no couple came forward
in answer to the $50 offer made.
The fine Sparboe residence was Of
cred for sale, but it was not sold,
only one bid-that of $4,OOO-oe-
ing offered. The company, however,
think the property will be sold at
private sale in a few days.

Rich Authors Latest Fancy,

The last word in scenery has been
spoken-by Philip Bartholomae, au-
thor of when Dreams Come True"
which comes to the armory opera
house Wednesday night, Nov. 25th.
Mr. Bartholomae announces that in
the ball room episode the scene is
painted not on the canvas Of COM
merce. but on silk. He says that
thereby he has attained a certain
lighting effect of unQuestioned beau
ty and effectiveness.
Mr.. Bartholomae, be it known, is
equipped with one fortunate adj
vantage carefully kept away from
most makers of manuscript. He Is
rich. He can write checks on silk
if he wants to. Let this not be TAX
en- to mean that only his wealth
makes it possible for him to get in
the limelight. He is the author and
producer of "Overnight" and Little
Miss Brown" both successes which
have increased his bank account.
and he is the producer of a number
of vaudeville acts equally successful.
However, when one sets out to
make scenery, the possession of a
bank balance is a distinct aid to art
and the uplift. In addition to the
silk setting the play also reveals
three other complete scenic offerings
all shown in three acts. 2att
