DEVELOPING ORE NEAR
WAUKON.
Five-Million Dollar st. Louis Com
pany Being Organized. Have
Acquired 257 Acre Tract
Near WaukOn.

A corporation with a paid up
capital of $5,000,000 to operate a
pig iron and ferro manganese plant
in St. Louis will be incorporated in
Wilmington, Delaware, this week.

corporation will be Edward F. Col
ira, Jesse d. Dana, John C. Roberts,
r. H. Stockton, Z. C. Cameron,
William Bagnell David r. Francis,
P. C. Maffit and T. S. Maffitt, among
St. Louis richest men.
1t is expected that the pig iron and
ferro manganese plant will make St.
Louis an iron center of great impor-
lance. The company has acquired a
tract of PSI acres of iron producing
lands at Waukon, Ia, from which 1T
will obtain its supply of raw material.
With the advantages of cheap coke
and river transportation, it is expect
ed the company will be able to man
ufacture pig iron So ton cheaper
than it can be produced in Pittsburgh
or any of the other iron centers. The
Iowa ore is said to be better than had
been dreamed Of The st. Louis
plant, as soon as it begins operations,
will require from 500 to 600 tons OF
ore a day and will give employment
to many workmen.
The iron mines in Iowa are eigh-
teen miles from the Mississippi river

William P. Bossenberger, a veterin-
airy surgeon of Williams, has just
secured a patent upon sleigh run

arranged that they absorb all shocks
of travelling over uneven ground and
keep buggy from turning over when
passing through deep snow. The in

He referred to his successful efforts in the state convention of two years ago for a roll-oall, which won the commendation of the editor of "The Courant, who suggested that he be made permanent member of the coD- vention.
 The amendment to substitute a vote by ballot for a roll-oall was voted down. The roll was then called. The district split by towns as follows: For Colonel Hall, Somers. Stafford, Wilmington. Coventry, Mansfield, An dover, Columbia; for Senator Taloott, Vernon. Ellington, Bolton, Union. Hebron was divided, giving two votes for each candidate. The vote resulted: Colonel Hall 34. Senator Talcutt Is. On motion of Fred Prentice, the vote was made formal and unanimous for Colonel Hall. The chair named Francis A. Randall and Stephen l. Johnson a committee to wait upon the nominee and request his presence at the convention.
 Colonel Hall was brought before the convention and made a speech of acceptance, thanking the convention for the honor. He referred to the fact that the district was next to the largest, relative to number of towns represented, in the state. He felt it a personal honor and an honor to his town. Speaking of his years of ex- perience in the state service, he referred to the fact that out of the twenty-two nominations made for senator in the state he had served fifteen. He hoped and expected to be elected, and would look after the interests of the district and state to the best of his ability.
 The resolutions adopted are as follows:
 We, the republican delegates of the thirty fifth senatorial district in con- vention assembled: Hereby most heartily endorse the national republi- can platform, in its intirety, and especially its nominee for President, Charles E. Hughes, a man eminently fitted to put and keep in place the affairs of the nation. We hereby pledge him our hearty support.
 Resolved, That we heartily en- dorse our nominees for state officers, and promise our undivided support of them.
 Resolved, That we give our un- divided support to William H. Hall, the nominee of this convention for senator
