Riggs, of Sigourney. Des Moines, July 1.—The Republi- can state convention nominated the foregoing ticket to-day and adopted a platform of principles. Harmony marked the proceedings of the con- vention, all of its action being un- animous vote with the exception of the nomination of state superintend- ent, but after the ticket had been completed and the p!atform adopt- ed, speeches were made which indi- cated that the Republican leaders of the state are not entirely agreed as to the details of tariff policy. The tariff plank adopted was one prepared by Senator Allison, after conferences with representative Re- publicans of the state. No objection was made to it in the committee on resolutions, nor on its presentation to the convention, Governor Cum mins, in his speech accepting renomi- nation, approved the platform in its entirety, but announced that he would continue to hold to all the views expressed in his speeches with- in the past two years, THE TARIFF TRUST PLANK, Senator Allison's tariff trust plank, which will be adopted by the conven- tion, is as follows: We reiterate our faith in the his tore policy of protection. Undsr its influence our country, foremost in production, It has en :bled the la borer tosuccessfully insist upon good wages and-has induced eapital to en- gagein production with areasonable hope of a fair reward, Its vindica- tion is found in the history of itssue- cass and the rapidity with which our national resources have been vevel- oped and our industrialindepencence secured, and we heartily renew our pledge to maintain it. Tariff rates enacted to carry this policy into effeet should be just, fair aid impartial, equally opposed to foreign control and domestic monoy - oly, to sectional discrimination and individual favoritism, and mustfrom time to tine be changed to meet the varying conditions incident to the progress of our industries and their changing relations in our foreign and dometic commerce. Duties that are too low should be increased, and duties that are too high should be reduced. M Her-| A CRUMB TO FREE TRADERS Weindorse the poliey of reciprocity as the natural complement of protec- tion. Reciprocity between nations isfor mutual advantage and both sides must give and take. Protec- tion builds up domestic industry and trade and secures our own markets for ourselves; reciprocity builds up foreign trade and finds an outlet for our surplus. We approve the treaty w.th Cuba recently ratified as confer- ring substantial benefits upon both countries and urge that the remain- ing steps necessary to make it effec- t tive be promptly taken, We believe that the large corpora- tions commonly called “trusts” should be so regulated and supervis- ed, both in their organization and operation, that their evil tendencies may be checked and their evil prac- tices prevented. In many instances tiey are efficient industrial instru- ments and the natural outcome ofan inevitable process of economic evolu- tion. We do not desire their destruc- tion, but insist that they shall be so regulated and controlled as to pre- vent monopoly and promote com- petition, and inthe fullest measure subserve and advance the public good.

Hill, an ex- | attache of the state c omptroller’ 8 of- | fice, yesterday entered the private Are Terrible Foes, When | office of R M. Love, state comptrol- Aroused. ler, and killed him with two bullets from a large caliber revolver. As ; 3 TAKES MANY Hill turned to flee he was intercepted by Chief Clerk Stevens of the depart- ment, who engaged him in a scuffle, during which Hill’s revolver was ac- cidentally exploded. The bullet en- tered Hill's abdomen, causing a wound from which he died yesterday afternoon. Asto what caused the shooting, none can explain other than it was the act ofa madman. Hill had been an employee of the comptroller’s of tice for ten years preceding Love's term of office. He was discharged by Mr. Love wh n the latter took charge, and it is presumed this fact preyed upon his mind. Yesterday he went to the capitol, entered Love's private office, spoke to him cheerful- ly, shook hands, and handing him a letter to read, sat down at the in- vitation of the comptroller, No soover did Mr. Love begin reading the letter than Hill sprang to his feet and fired two shots at Mr. Love, one taking effect just above, the oth- er immediately below, the heart. Mr. Love screamed, dropped the letter and sprang half forward towards his assassin, then gasped and fell back- ward, Hill turned to make for the door. He was intercepted by Clerk Stevens. ; BULLETS TO KILL. Not Afraid of Pistols and Are Always Ready With the Bolo, With Which They Iaflict Horrible Wounds. Jolo Jolo, P.1., June 25 —To those who are interested in Philippine af- fairs and who advocate the theory that war, if it must be, should be waged as gently as possible against these tractable “brown brothers,” the Moros, a short account of recent events in the little island of Jolo might prove something of a surprise and a novelty, if read in the light of the three following consideratious: First, this ts called the “Eden” of the Philippines and those who are stationed here are supposed to be especially fortunate. Second, the native Moros are sup- posed to be peaceably inclined, pro- vided they are not provoked. Third, in view of this supposed peaceableness, our soldiers are under orders to the effect that they are not to fireupon a Moro until actually attacked by him, however suspicious may be his actions, Now, in the mind of the home dwelling, theorizing American, the Moro, armed only with the barong or bolo, might seem quite at the mercy of the man with the modern six-shooter; but to those who have learned, by bitterexperience, that all six bullets fired into the body of the Moro may leave himas lively as ever ud still in the ring, whileeach stroke of his heavy barong cuts down through flesh and bone as though they were 80 much wax, and that he can also throw the‘deadly thing ac- curately at 30 yards, the case takes on a new aspect entirely. Our hos- pital surgeons here assert that the barong does more damage at short range than the revolvers carried by our men, Thesad business of March 10 might go to prove this. On that day some of our engineers were at work a short distance along the shore and near the place of Datoh Calbe, (A Datoh is prince, or head of a tribe.) “FRIEND” PROVED A DEADLY FOE. They were blasting out rock for repairs upon the pier. Calbe had protested agaiust this_a _weex-before, saying that the blasting caused the cholera among his people—for you know the Moro is fairly steeped in ignorantsuperstition. Of course the work could not be stopped for such nonsense, and the blasting continued. A derrick was lying on the ground and two men were sitting upon it when a Moro came around the bend of the road, There was nothing un- usual or alarming, as many of them passed that way in the course of the day, and Calbe had always pretended great friendship for the Americans. The Moro called out “Bugai!” (that is “Friend’’), then suddenly lowered his gun to shoot at them, but it would not go off. He drop- ped it, and seizing his ‘dear fa- miliar,” the “bloody barong,” he rushed at our men in a mad frenzy, The soldiers leaped up to face him and shoot, but one caught his feet in the derrick, lurched forward, and al- most before he had struck the ground his shoulder and back were laid open with a feartul blow from the barong, which cut clean through ten of his ribs. He rolled over, struggling to free his feet only to receive a deep gash across the chest, and yetanoth- erand another which cut clean off first his hand and then his arm, while still the Moro, in bestial fury, rained down blow after blow, for thus it is MADE NEW RECORD IN SHAVING, Washington Barber Shaves Eighteen Men in Thirty Minutes. Washington, July 1—Eighteen beards=black, brown and strawber- ry blond—vanished from the faces of asmany men to-day in thirty min utes under the skillful razor of Paul Di Marzo, who hangs out his sign at No. 478 Pennsylvania avenue. Such afeat has never before been accom- plished in Washington. Just thirty minutes after the lather was slapped on the first man time was called and eighteen men walked out of Di Marzo’s shop meditutively rubbing their chins. The tirst beard up went down in one minute and thirty sevonds. Wielding his razor with long, swift strokes, Di Marzo increased bis pace until he shaved the sixth man in fif- ty-cight seconds. | The hardest beards came when all the young men were used up and the wrinkle-faced old fellows were tum- bled Into the chair. Two minutes aud twenty-five seconds was the long- est time given to any one man and the razor on his beard made a noise like a good-sized buzz raw While the fourteenth man was be- ing shaved it was discovered that all the invited guests had had their beards removed. A dive into the crowd and the own- er ofa scraggy beard was rushed in- to the chair protesting that he did not want to have his haircut. None was cut, however, not even clipped, It was with difficulty that one old fellow was restrained from paying or his shave. After the half-hour contest was ov- er Dio Margo gave an exhibition of what he could do on one man. In the ineredible time of forty-eight sec- onds the barber cleaned his man and dumped him out of the chair. Ohio Town Has a Tramp Mayor. From the Indianapolis News. The politicians of Amesville, 0., learned that it does not pay to in- dulge in practical jokes in the elec- tion of mayor. They tried it, andas aresult the town has for mayora man who was known as a tramp, who had served time in the Cincin- nati workhouse. The politicians thought it would ~ @ good joke to nominate the ‘tramp for mayor. The people | thought the joke so good that they followed the precedent and electid him. Then they all turned to the governor and petitioned him to set aside the election on the ground that it was illegal. The lawyers and the best representa'ives of the town went jto Columbus last week to lay their PISSAEIPONES petition before the governor, and af- The discovery of a Kansas City | terhearing them Governor Nash said minister that the floods conferred a he could see no cause for his interfer- blessing in that they quieted the lo-' ence, - eal labor troubles, recalls Josh Bill- ings’ indorsement of tight boote, be- ' cause they made @ man forget all hie! other afflictions.—Ex, these “gentle savages” use their knives, and it {s in the interest of such “friends” as these that our brave fellows are warned not to be too handy with their guns. You may ask “And what were'the other engineer corps men doing all this time?” And when I tell you that they were literally pumping bullets into the Moro traitor and assassin you will be wondering why he did not die.

When the gun of this Moro was afterward picked up it was found to be loaded with a plug made of rusty nails bound together with strips of banboo and wound with wire. Think of the wound it might have given! Next day they buried our soldier with militia honors—one more victim of the black ignorance of religious frenzy and the thirst for blood. And is this frightful occurrence anything extraordinary in this little Eden isle, in which those who are stationed are considered “fortu- nate?” Far from it. Last Sunday afternoon at the week- ly cockfight in the village of Tulai, just outside the walls of Jolo, where Filipinos, Chinos, Moros and Ameri- can soldiers were packed like sardines around the ring, a Moro flourishing his barong suddenly rushed the gates and was in the middle of the throng, slashing and slaying right and left before anyone had, time to realize what was happening. The soldiers could not fire on account of the crowd, and in less time than it takes to tell it he had killed a Fili- pino with a slash of his barong into the mouth which nearly took off the top of his head; he had cut an old Chino literally to ribbons with six lightning strokes and had severely wounded two more Filipinos, one of whom afterwards died. Suddenly his son-in-law sprang at him and with one barong stroke nearly severed his head from his body When he was dead our show police- man, or Vigilante (a Moro also, and Tulawi by name), rushed upon him and rained barong strokes upon his senseless body till the soldiers forced him to stop. “HARD-LUCK-JIM” RICH A MINUTE. But is Killed While Ending the Hoodoo By Striking Gold. Butte, Mont , July 3.—James Nel son, better known as “Hard Luck Jim,” a Cree Indian, born under an unlucky star, always had been unfor- tunate in everything he undertook, and through no fault of his own. “Hard-Luck Jim,” in company with two white men, a few days ago was prospecting a few miles from this city. Hehad been told it was use- less for him to search for gold, as his hoodoo never would let him find any: “That’s all right,”’ said Jim, as he drove his pick into the decomposed granite. ‘Some day I will strike it rich, and then every one will forget about the hard luck I have had.” Even as he spoke his pick tore open arich pocket of gold. Jim and his companions fell on their knees and seized on the yellow pellets with which the pocket was filled. “I told you my hard luck would end some day,” said he, wio, by the way, was the son of a man at one time prominent in political af- fairs in Montana. Before Jim had finished speaking there was a crash, and the tallstump of an old pine tree, under which the men had been working, came rushing down throvgh the air, striking Jim fairly across the back and killing him instantly. Hard luck had led him on by the} Bears the promise of great riches, only to over- take him in the very iustant of his success. The pocket of gold which he had uncovered was atich and ex- tensive one, and his two companions will divide the fortune between them, as Jim left no relatives, at least none who will acknowledge him, even in death. San Antonio, Tex., July 2.—A cloud burst to-day visited the southwest- ern section of Texas, causing the death of several persons and entail- ing a heavy property loss. No accu- rate reports of the loss of life can be obtained, as the telegraph wires are down in the storm-swept section, but enough is known to warrant the belief that at least twenty people perished in the flood. At Beeville one Mexican was swept away, Near Normana ten Mexican farm hands are reported drowned and twelve more are said to have LSLLLL LLL SLL PLL LLLP PP PPP PON FRLL TALE but TEETH have that ULL LLL SLL LLL PLL LL LLL LLL LLP LPL PP Tf you neglect your teeth you know it; and everybody else knows it, teeth located that any lack of care is quickly visible.

Kallundborg, Denmark, July 1.— The United States European squad- ron arrived here to-day from Kiel. The squadron, consisting of the flag- ship Kearsarge, the San Francisco and the Chicago, will sail for Spit- head, England, Friday, and will there meet the Machias, which passed through ths Kiel canal. Rear Admiral Cotton, in giving his personal opinion of the visit to Kiel, said: “The happy intercourse between the officers of high rank and all the surface indications, appear to show that the object of the visit was ac- complished. Everything possible was done by Emperor William, Prince Henry and others to make our stay pleasant, which was reciprocated. The squadron will arrive in the inner harbor at Portsmouth at 9:30 a. m. July 7.” RIA. CAST The Kind You Have So Kind Bought of An Aged Widow Murdered. Vinita, I. T., July 1.—Cynthia Johnson, an aged wiuow, who lived near Kinnison, was attacked by an unknown man with a club and beat- en almost to death last night. He then shot her twice and she died. He left the house and hid in the brush and is still at large. Mrs. Johnson was a wealthy widow and money was found in her home un- molested. She had a sonand daugh- ter who resided with her, but they were abeent at the time of the kill- ing. When the daughter, who came home, arrived at the gate, she found their mother in the yard. If her slayeris arrested, it would be difficult for the officers to prevent mob vio- lence. 6 UL fhie signatare is on a sree Laxative stair ek Ges ees te cn one Lieutenant Mc€ue Held. Chicago, July 1.—Lieutenant Will- iam K. McCue, First Infantry, whose matrimonial experience have been followed by allegations of-bigamy, is detained at Fort Sheridan. He was was taken there last night by direc- tion of General Bates, commanding the department of the lakes. Viola Simmons, married to the lieutenant in San Francisco June 12, whose father has sent money to enable her to return home, has received a tele- gram from the Rev. Father Mackey of St. Peter’s cathedral, Cincinnati, in which the priest stated that he married William K. McCue and Ida Westcott June 7, 1890. When his new bride confronted him with the telegram McCue tore it up, exclaiming: “It is false. I swear it.” Before leaving for Fort Sheri- dan, Lieutenant McCue signed over his last pay check to his wife, and she gave it to the hotel management in payment of their bill, $66, fornine days. Fat Places Are Abolished. Washington, July 1.—Postmaster General Payne to-day issued an order abolishing the position of physician in post offices at the close of business June 30, 1903. This order wipes out a small list of officials whose em- ployment, without specific authority | of law, has caused wide discussion in connection with the Post Office in- vestigation. Some, at least, of these offices paid $1,700 a year, and were sinecures, One man was carried on the rolls of the Washington office for over ayear | at that salary and had practically no duties to perform. The office was finally abolished here, and recently the Postmaster General held that - the employment of physiciansshould be allowed only at offices in cities of 500,000 or more population. The post offices employing physicians up to the close of the fiscal year which — expired last night, when the Post- — master General’s order took effect, are: New York, Chicago, Brooklyn, Philadelphia and Buston.
