There is trouble among the democrats of the inth judicial district. Charles F. Chase, postmaster of Atlantic, editor of the Atlantic Telegraph and leader among the democrats of the district, has been endeavoring to stir up a muss by having a democratic convention cailed for the purpose of placing in nomina tion a democratic candidate for congress. He been corresponding with the democrats all over the district, and what the end will yet 1s hard to rmine. Chase claims that there is no democratic candidate in nomination, and he cannot see the reason for this being thus, just at the time, of all others, when all democrats ought to be proud of their democracy, Neverthe less, he has been unable to make a good nary democrats look at the matter in the same light with himeelf, for they are not 0 sure about the credit that attaches to simon pure democracy, People of that stamp to whom le has addressed himself have given him the cold shoulder, but there are others, scattered all over the district, in spite of the party organ published in this ctiy, who sympathize with Ch move- ment, and are doing all in their power to help him. The time has not yet gone by for nominations to b: made, and there is some probability that the next few weeks will democratic convention called to supply the deficiency in candidates. At a meeting of the Montgomery county demo- cratic central commmittee, held last week at Red Ouk, a resolution was adopted asking Postmaster Chase to tender his resignation as a member of the state committee. Some quiet but cnerzetic work is being done by the local candidates preparatory to the two county conventions to be held th's week. Most of the fighting on the demo- cratic side Is over the offices of clerk and county ett:rney. For the latier office two candidates are prominently mentioned, Judge E. B, Aylesworth and Herman Schurz. — The ction head:d by ifenry Knepher and other well known demccratic statesmen, and, it is said, has the support of the party organ. Judge Aylesworth, on the other hand, has the sup- port of most of the respectable element, It is a questi‘n of a good deal of uncertainty whch of the two clements of the party will ccmo out on top. The fight for the nomination for the clerk- ship is between J. M. Fenlon and L. Zur- muehlen, jr. Each of these is a democrat in whom is considerable guile, and as a vast amount of work ¢n the q. t. his been done by each in the last few weeks, it is impossiblo to form an idea of what their respective chances are for ncmination.

A RAILROAD RATESNOT T00 LOW Towa Jobbers and £hippere Protest Against an Increase at Present, WHERE THE CORPORATIONS ARE WE/K Not Willing to Permit the Public to Know the Extent of Thelr Earnings-- Facts Recited by the People Representivtives, DES MOINES, Sept. 18.—(Special Tele- gram.)—At the adjourned hearing before the rallvay commissioners today, there were about 175 delegates fr'm the State Jobbers and Shippers association and the reflways were liberally represented by prominent officials. Hon. Frank T. Campbell occupled tho entire morning session with a presenta- tion of the shippers' side of the case, taining that the rites should not creased. He said that when the rates were put in, the commissioners obliged to act partly from conjecture, but now they had experience upon which to base their decision. In 1888 the enactment of the interstate commerce law had left the railroad situation such that the states were obliged to change their poliey in regard to local rates. The Towa legl imposed upon the commissicners the du schedule of rates. the dark as to the actual rates, but on the testimony of the rsilroaa officials and others based the new schedule, not on the published schedules, but on the rates actually (n vogue. The new rat have been vindicated first by the court and secoudly by exper.ence as to revenues, tonnage and presperity of the rail- roads and the people, and the plea for a_reduction is not now made on the ground that the present rates are not remunerative, but for the reason that they are alleged to be too low, as compared with the alleged, but not real, standards in other states, The railrcads are not represented here by the men who could inform the board as to the effect of the rates upon earnings, but by officials in other depirtments, who are unable to furnish these facts. Now, other states are no standard for Towa cn rates, any more than on morals, It is suffic t that Jowa has fixed rotes which are remunerative and generously so There has bzen no railroad demoralzation and no bankruptey in lowa under these rate The roads are making 80 much that when required to show their e.rnings in_order to justify reduced train service or for any other reason, the roads have withdrawn petitions rather than how thelr hands. The roads are paying large dividends, excessive interest and piling up millions cf surplus. While the peogle «f Towa are losing money on their business, the rail- roads arc askiNg an average advance of 25 por cent on the first four classes cf ight. It is an untimely request, it will troy fowa old and new. Thousands of lowa citizens ere sending in remonstrances against the change, both badly timed, because of the financial depression and unjust and unnecessary on general grounds. At (his afternoon’s session the following gentlemen made arguments against any in rates:. W. L. Roach of Museatine, r senting the lumber interests; . W, Smith of Davenport, W.

Some of the committee favor accept- ance of the proposition, and others want to push the prosecution.

Personally 1 have nothing against the members of that body, but politically I am so glaringly in the minority that I made up my mind to get out.

He lives at, Twentieth and L streets. About 11 o'clock he went home, and was soon in a jangle with his wife.

The father was so enraged that he grasped hold of the little fellow’s arm and gave it such a severe twist that the bone was brokcn at the wrist. It has only been a short time since this lad fell from the porch and broke the same arm, only in a different place. * Foss was arrestcd and taken td the sta- tion, but after being in jail for a short time was bailed out.
