When the republican national com.
mittee met to raise 100000 for the
anti-Wilson movement, it billed lows
for that amount Frank Nimocks, OF
Ottumwa, who may be minister te

Altho it was not specified in the con.
tract the job of financing the west.
ern headquarters of the national com
Inittee in Chicago was UP to the o.
tumwan. The national committee said
the directors in western headquarters
could have only $4,000. And that is
all they got-from National Chairman
Wilcox. They started their own little
campaign. raised some money of their
own and sailed into trans Mississlpp
field padding their own boat.
Cummins Took $4,000.
1t is estimated that Senator Cum
Minis spent $4,000 in booming his
presidential boom, most of which was
contributed by his friends and Iowa re-
publicans. The state committee came
along shortly after the primaries and
gathered in numerous thousands more

Gus candidates in the primaries spent
numerous thousands more as their
statements of expense show, especially
Harding. Cosson and Allen. and the
loyal supporters of the G. Q. P. gave

Made Going Difficult.
Consequently tine going was more
difficult for Hughes. Five assistant di-
rectors of finance for Iowa were sent
out thru the state on their own time
and at the expense of the national
committee TO fill Iowa's corner of the
republican war chest.
They were: c. &. Nye, of Des
Moines; E. A. Burgess. Of Sioux xCity:
B. E. tonebreaker OF Rockwell City;
W. l. Atkinson. of Clarksville. and
Luther Brewer. of Cedar Rapids
Among them they raised more than
$4,000 up to ten days before the cleo
ton. They expected to raise the re-
mainder by election day provided they
were not disappointed in ceiling some
OF their prospects as literally as they
anticipated.
Two Gave Thousand.
In all the $4,000 there are only two
individual subscriptions Of four figures.
Col. George n. French, OF Davenport.
and John B. Adams, Of Dubuque, gave
$1,000 each. There were few $500
subscriptions that the fund, gatherers
are not mentioning. There were sew
eral 500 Subscriptions and many $50
donations.
But the greater part of the fund is
made up of 81, So and $40 subscrip-
tons. The five emissaries Of Mr.. Nj

inches of where it had been calculated
it should fall.
This pressure tank was erected in the
spring of 1891 and for more than a
quarter century has done service. The
estimated life Of such tank Is twenty
years. For several months 1t has been
very much of nuisance because OF
leaks. Attempts to patch these have
not been successful. Last winter a
leak developed in the south side, and
some Of the trees in the park were
ruined by ice that formed on them.
