tors have been assembled here within

val and was followed closely by Sen
ator L. e. Crist. Representative Lee
Elwood, Henry Brady and w. F. Moore
and Former Speaker Ed. Cunningham
all arrived the same day.
Each of these statesmen is credited
with an ambition to Improve his poll
tical fortunes. Larrabee, Crist and
Cunningham all are said to be seeking
the republican nomination for lieuten-
ant governor. Larrabee denied that he
would be q candidate, however, and
brought the report that Ernest Moore
of Cedar Rapids might enter the race.
The last named three were non-com-
initial on the subject, although none
would deny that he might enter the
lists when the time came If conditions
were right. Lee Elwood expects to
make an effort to land the speakership
in the thirty-seventh assembly. AL
though the youngest mefber of the
thirty-sixth he was made speaker pro
tenn of that body and was looked upon
as one of the real leaders of the ses.
sion. Elwood has served two terms.

Former Mexican Dictator
Dies Suddenly at Paris Home
PORFiRIO DIAZ NO LONGER EVEN
PASSIVE FACTOR IN AZ.
FAIRS OF MEXICO.

Paris, July 5.-Members of the fam
lily Of General Pordr1o Diaz have not
yet determined what arrangements
will be made for tho funeral of the
late president of Mexico except that
they will be in keeping with his quiet
life In Paris. The ex-president died
last night as the result of complica.
ton of diseases due to advanced age.
General D1az during his four years
residence in Paris made few acquaint-
ances among the French people. He
received good many Mexicians,
especially when he first came to
France.
He always was absorbed in the news
from Mexico but became more and dis
tressed by the disorders there as his
friends by letter and In person gave
him pessimistic accounts of condi-
tons and the destruction of his insti-
tutions.
1t does not appear that General
Diaz ever regretted his resignation
from the presidency of Mexico after
thirty years of rule nor that he felt
inclined to return nor missed his loss
Of power. Nothing that he told his
friends would indicate 1t,

appearance of Andrew X. Bowles of

The disappearance is surrounded
by more mystery that has attended a
disappearance or crime in Linn coun-
ty in many years, and the friends of
young Bowles are unable to offer an
explanation. They point out that he
would not deliberately disappear OF
his own volition. He never had been
morose, and in fact was not the type
Of man who would deliberately leave
his friends without saying something
about his intention.
Young Bowles is about six feet tall,
with dark eyes and blue scar on his
forehead. When last seen he was
dressed in working clothes and wore
