Des Moines March 29--It developed at
the conference of Iowa democrats held
here Tuesday that, in addition to the
purpose Of holding the Democrat,
intact in Iowa thru the putting up of a
state ticket many of the leaders are
confident that the party candidates can
land successfully in a number of posi-
tons to which they aspire.
They declare that N D. Ely of Doven-
port will defeat Congressman Hull for
congress in the Second district. They
are hopeful that Joe j. Meyers of Car
roll will win out for attorney general
over the republican contestant, II. NJ.
Havner. and also that other congress
sonal office holders will be pushed out
OF their positions. In fact they de-
clare they have strong ticket all the
way thru which will not only unite the
democratic party in Iowa but will
strengthen the support of the president
in this state.
The state ticket as finally determ-
ined on at the conference follows:
Governor. Claude r. Porter of Center
vile: lieutenant governor, Frank B.
Whitaker, of Van Buren, county; Sec
rotary Of state, J. c. Murtagh of Wa
terloo: auditor of state, D. E. Kirby,
of Woodbury. county treasurer OF
stale. John Jamison, Faylette county;
attorney general, Joe j. Myers, Carroll;
superintendent of schools, H. C. Black
meyer, Wapello county; railway COM
missionens. George w. koontz Of John
son county and Joseph Beh of Shelby
county.
The democrats are more particularly
cunning for congressman Harry E.
Hull of the Second district; Gilbert N.
Haugen, of the Fourth c. W. Raysey-
err, of the Sixth and Frank P. Woods,
OF the Tenth. They claim that these
republicans have not been loyal and
have not supported the president.
Ray Files, of Fort Dodge probably
will be the candidate for congress in
the Tenth district against Woods. He
made an attack on the Tenth district
congressman at the conference here
Thursday. He declared that opposition
to the administration must be wiped
out no matter whether it was gum
shoe politics from Missouri or pompa-
dour treason from Wisconsin,.

Feeding Baby Chicks.
[By Judge Z. H. Hoffman.


Many chicks are lost each year be-
cause of improper feeding, especially
during the first few weeks of the
chick'S life. 1t is a common mistake
among large number of people to
feed the chicks too soon after they are
Matched. AS soon as the chicks are
Matched they should be removed from
the hen or Incubator. When taken
from the hen they may be kept in a
basket and covered with warm fiannels
either to the nursery in the bottom of
theImachine orr placed in brooder.
No feed of any kind should be given
the chicks until they are thirty-six to
forty-eight hours old. The first feed
is a coarse sand or fine commercial
chick grit. Then little water may be
given and commercial chick feed. The
old fashioned way of starting chicks is
with hard boiled egg but it has been
found that they do much better when
fed grains from the start. Dry bran is
splendid feed and and may be kept
within reach at all times Wet sloppy

JURY HOLDS CREW OF PAsSEN-
GER CAR RESPONSIBLE FOR
INTERURBAN DISASTER.
FIVE KILLED AND SCORE
INJURED IN COLLISION
Conductor Prans, Of Boone, and Motor
man Powers, of Fort Dodge, Charged
With ResponsiibIity-eoone County
Grand Jury to Investigate Case
Damage Suits in Prospect.
Special to Times Republican.

Special to Times Republican.
Nevada, March 29.-The blame has
at last been placed for the fatal inter-
urban wreck which occurred over near
Kelley on March 4, when a passenger
car, southbound, and a northbound
work train oollided.
The coroners jury which sat in
Boone county and reviewed the evil
dence has placed the entire RESPONSE
bility on the head of the i'll -fated con-
ductor and motorman of the passenger
car No. 4. Conductor w. o. Prang, of
Boone, and Motorman 7. S. Powers, OF
Fort Dodge, are responsible, according
to the verdict of the jurors.
Five men were killed as result of
the wreck and oyer a score were more
or less seriously injured.
The case against Powers and Prang
will now go before the Boone county
grand jury for investigation.
The greater part Of the evidence
taken by the coroners jury was from
Boone people who were on either the
ll-fated passenger car or the work
train and the men working in the COM
pany offices at the Boone yards.
Finding Of Coroner's Jury.
The portion of the verdict which
places the responsibility of the wreck
is as follows:
THAT said collision was caused by
the neglect on the part of the crew of
the crew on passenger No. 4 in that
they disregarded a positive order CIV
I.<Sv. tNh a
Boone, to meet north bound freight
No. III on East Long track.
And we further do find that they
came to their death felonously; and
that a crime has been committed on
the deceased and that T. S. Powers
and w. o. Prang are the names of the
persons whom the jury believe have
committed it,
The five men who lost their lives
either in the wreck or have since died
as result of the injuries received in
the wreck are as follows. Frank Nc
Farland, boone; Richard Noonan,
Boone; Floyd Paulson. Ames; c. A..
Brown. Kelley: John Zumwalt, Boone.
a, Damage Suits in Prospect.
OF the many persons who were Sc
verely injured in the wreck and taken
to hospitals all have since recovered
but a number of them will be more or.
less crippled for life.
In addition to the criminal prosecu-
ton which will follow this finding OF
the corners verlict, it is probable that
the interurban company will be made
the defendant in number of heavy
damage suits.
Attorneys who have been looking
into the matter stated few days ago
there are enough cases now in sight
that it will prove a serious matter to
the finance of the interurban COM
pany.

Peril. We Overlook.

OF the many perils that beset the av-
erage individual one Of the most serious
is common cold. 1t is not the cold
itself that imperils our well being, but
the serious diseases which it leads to.
Consumption usually starts from cold
or succession Of colds. It is a germ
disease, and the germ diseases are most
likely to be contracted when you have
a cold. A child that has cold is more
likely to contract diphtheria or scarlet
fever than one who has not. For this
reason every cold should be regarded
as peril and gotten rid of as quickly
as possible. Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy will help you throw it off. Try it.

mash must not be fed until the chicks
attain an age of six weeks or two
months and then it should only be fed
sparingly. Lettuce and other green
feed is very essential and it is also
greatly relished by the chicks. During
the first month of chicks life only a
small amount of feed should be fed at
a time but it is important that the
chicks be fed often. When a hen is
allowed to roam at large with her
brood the chicks are naturally supplied
with everything necessary. but con-
fined in a coop substitutes must be
supplied. 1t is very important that
they be started out right with reference
to feeding if good results are expected.
