B. Wads- worth for congress from the Ninth district was launched at the democratic county con- vention held in this city yesterday. It was Kknown that Mr. Wadsworth was willing to make the race against Judge Walter I Smith, the republican nominee, but his can- didacy had not been before officially an- nounced. The boom was launched by Riley Clark of Neola, one of the delegates, who moved that the delegation to the congres- sional convention be instructed to use all honorable means to secure the nomination for Pottawattamie county's candidate, 8. B. Wadsworth. It developed, however, that some other Pottawattamle democrat might have aspirations that way and Clark's mo- tion only carried after Nick O'Brien had tacked on to it an amendment as follows: “If there be no other candidates from Pot- tawattamie county.” It there is any other aspirant among the local democracy for congressional honors, he is at present keeping well under cover. Other features of yesterday's democratie convention were the extreme heat, the lack of any interest in the proceedings, the very meager attendance—about half of the town- ships and precincts not being represented— the failure to adopt the usual string of res- olutions and the absence of any speechos. Taken In all the convention was quite a record breaker in the history of the demo- cratic party in Pottawattamie county. Couldn't R The convention was called for the purpose of selecting three sets of delegates to attend the state convention, to be held at Cedar Raplds tomorrow, the judicial convention of the Fifteenth distfict, the congressional of the Ninth district, neither of the last two having yet been called. The call fssued by County Chalrman Zurmueblen announced that the convention would be called to order at 10 o'clock, but when that hour ar- rived there was barely a corporal's guard of the faithful gathered in the superior court room at the county court house and it was decided to postpone proceedings until 1:30 in the afternoon, when it was hoped some of the noon trains might bring in enough delegates to hold the convention. At 1:30 o'clock there were thirty-two del- egates and after waiting half an hour Chair- man Zurmuehlen called the gathering to- gethier and named Rev. J. R. Speck of Coun- cil Bluffs as temporary chairman and John F. Huntington of Avoca as temporary sec- retary. Rev. Speck, who came into prom- Inence two years ago as a candidate for state representative, had barely time to agsume the gavel before a motion making the temporary organization permanent was put and carried. Secretary Huntington asked for assistance and George 8. Davis of this elty was made assistant secretary. Then the proceedings opened. N. O'Brien moved that a committee of three be ap- pointed to select the delegates to the three conventions. His motion was seconded by J. K. Cooper, member of the Board of Edu- cation. e & Quorum. Willing to Let All Stay. This did not meet the wishes of Herman Schurz, who thought such action a trifie premature_and he moved an amendment {0 the effect that a commlttee on credentials be appolnted. A look around the almost empty hall satisfied the majority of the delegates present that such a committee would be almost superfluous and Schurz was induced to waive his demand for the ap- pointment of a committee on credentinls. Then Schurz, who throughout the convention did most of the talking, suggested that a roll call by preciucts be had and the dele- gates present be authorized to cast the full vote of their respective precincts. J. P. Organ and N. O'Brien also made similar motions in such rapld succession that the chairman got tangled up and this and the thermometer at over 100 In the shade caused him to lose his temper and he said if there was any more disputing over the manner in which he stated the motions he would in- sist that they be placed before him in writing. The motions, however, continued to come until the reverend chairman sald: “We are getting so many resolutions that we will soon be like the senator from the eouth— we will not know where we are at.” This restored the harmony and the roll call by precinets proceeded with each pre- cinct as it was called naming a member of the committee to select the three sets of delogates. The roll call showed that nine- teen out of the forty precincts were not represented in the convention. The committee then retired to formulate its report. During its absence E. P, Searls, president of the Bryan-Stevenson club, aroused the only show of enthusiasm of the day by extending an invitation to the dele- gates to attend the formal opening of the club’s headquarters at the Ogden house that night, when there would be plenty of good cheer in the shape of eatables and drinka- bles on tap.

Knepher, former bos of the city sewer gang, attempted to have the convention adopt a resolution making the Council Blufts Tribune, a weekly dem- ocratic paper, the official organ of the party In Pottawattamie county. He was seconded in his efforts by Herman Schurz. Tae suggestion met with considerable opposition from the country delegates, who called at- tention to the fact that there aye demo- cratic papers in Neola anfl Avoca which are as much entitled to “have a finger in the worth, J. J Boyer, J. P, Gard- ner. Congrosst ber, Roscoe H. iKnephe P, D. Jon O'Brien; Jenkins, ¢ ple” as the Tribune, and finally Colonel Knepher, after consulting with his second, was induced to withdraw his motion. At this point in the proceedings an at- tempt was made to adfourn, but Riley Clark of Neola begged the indulgence of the con- vention for & few moments while he Iaunched the Wadsworth boom for congress This over Rev. Speck rung down the cur- tain and the convention stood adjourned and the delegates hastened to secure some place where they could cool off. ANDY NEELEY STUMPS WADSWORTH, Bit of Cross-Questioning that Upset a Demoer: ell-Binder. * The Bryan-Stevenson Democratic elub celebrated the formal opening of its head- quarters in the Ogden house last night with & love feast. The affair attracted a large gathering of the faithtul and the club dispensed its hospitality with a 1ib- eral hand. Following a program of speeches and musie refreshments were served, The ceremonies opened with a prayer by Rev. Speck, after which the Misses Neeley, two young colored women, sang “America,” the audience joining In the chorus. Bpeeches were made by John Hazen of Avoea, John P. Organ and Rev. Speck of this city and | City Attorney Wadsworth, candidate for the demoeratic nomination for congress. Attorney Wadsworth's address was de- voted mainly to attacking the administra- tion of President McKinley, whom he held responsible for the wars in Cuba, the Phil- ippines and China. He made an appeal for the negro vote by declaring that it was the colored soldiers and not Roosevelt that cerried the day at San Juan, He said “Why, we are now asking the colored vot- ers of Japan to help us out in our troubles in China.” “That so, Mr drew Neeley, a the republican patrol driver. “Yes, that 18 so, Andy,” answered the speaker. . This started Andy going and he contin- ued. “Say, Mr. Wadsworth, I would like to ask you one question. You know me, Mr. Wadsworth.” Certainly 1 do," replied the city attor- ney, little expecting what was next to fol- Tow. “Tell me, Mr, Wadsworth, why is it that they have distranchised the negroes in the south?” This was a stumper for the candidate for congress and he was forced amidst considerable laughter to admit to Neeley that that was one question he could not answer. The meeting was presided over by E. P. Searle, president of the club, Wadsworth?' yelled An- colored man who under city administration was Davis sells paint. Commonwealth 10-cent cigar. FIND NO TRACE OF MRS, THOMAS, Police Se but Fail to Discover Sig ng Woman. A search made by the police and others alopg the river bank near where the bundlé of clothing was found failed to reveal any further traces of Mrs. Kate Thomas, the woman who is supposed to have thrown berself and 3-year-old child into the river. Footprints were noticed in the soft mud near the river bank, but whether those of & woman could not be discerned. George Miller, overseer of the poor, was called upon by Mrs. Thomas the same day that she applied for assistance at the po- lice station. She asked the overseer to furnish her with some clothing for herselt ‘and child, stating that her busband had taken her trunk away with him. Miller told her he could not furnish her with any clothing, but was willing to provide her transportation back to her home or what- ever place In Nebraska she desired to go. This she refused, as she did the overseer's offer for other assistance. The unfortunate woman appeared greatly distressed and to Miller's mind somewhat mentally unbalanced. She particularly im- pressed upon the overseer that she did not ask any assistance except some clothing for herself and child and said she had had plenty to eat, although she admitted she was without any money. ROBBERS STI DISCOVERED, No Clue Obtained as to Identity of Men Who Held Up Muma, The police were unable yesterday to se- cure any trace of the two bandits who held up the Manawa car Monday night and robbed Conductor Muma. The opinion at police headquarters is that the holdup was by local partles, probably living in the southwest part of the city. Park Policeman Mottaz, who has charge of Cochran park, sald yesterday that two men answering the description of the high- waymen spent the greater part of the after- nopn and evening in the park and that he overheard them talking about Lake Man- awa. Two men #iso answering the descrip- tion of the robbers were seen loltering at the Sixteenth avenue crossing about half an hour before the boldup. One man fis described s being about five feet, five inches tall, dark complexioned, with & small, dark mustache, while the other was about three inches taller, clean shaven and bull-dog countenance. The smaller of the two wore dark clothes and a soft, brown hat, while the other was attired in a dark grey suit, Superintendent Dimmock sald yesterday that he had been warned against allowing conductors to carry large sums of money with them on the late runs to the lake and orders were {ssued yesterday requiring the deposit of all amounts over $10 when the lake conductors passed the car barns on each return trip, Dies Under Peculinr Clrenmatancen Cbarles Ebert, a young man 21 years old, whose home was in Oregon, Mo., died yes- terday at the Woman's Ohristian Associa- tion hospital, where he had been taken Monday in an unconscious condition. Ebert was a cook in a rallroad grading camp at Sidney, Neb, and the work beiug finfshed ho started for his home in Missourl, He stopped oft here Monday to visit @ friend In Crescent City and walked from the lo- cal depot three miles Into the country. On reaching his friend's place, he dropped un- consclous and all efforts to revive him proving futile he was brought to the hospi- tal here. He never regained consclousness At first {t was thought he was suffering from sunstroke, but an autopsy performed by Coroner Treynor last night showed that death was due to peritonitis. A telegram was sent to his brother, Wil- llam Ebert, at Oregon, Mo, and he ar- rived bere last night and made arrange- ments for the shipment of the remains to his home this morning. Funeral of Sister Mary Franots, The funeral of Sister Mary Frances De Sales, who died Bunday at S§t.

PREPARE T0 FIGHT DISEASE Effort Will Be Made to Suppress Tuber- culosis in Iowa, STATE VETERINARIAN PREPARES ARTICLE Information to Be Furnished Which WilL Assist in Apprehending the Discase and Treating it Durs ing Any of Its Stages, DES MOINES, Ia., Aug. 14.—(Special Tel egram.)~—Dr. J, 1. Gibson of Denison, state veterinarian, was in Des Molnes today looking after the publication of an arti- cle designed to suppress tuberculosis in lIowa. The article has been prepared by order of the State Board of Health, which named & committee not long ago to do the work. Dr. Gibson is chairman of the com- mittee, Dr. E. R. Conniff of Sloux City and Dr. J, A, McKlveen of Chariton the other members. It was designed by the Stato Board of Health in directing the preparation of this article to call the at- tention of the people of the state to the serious nature of the disease known as tuberculosis and to the necessity of guard- ing ag the disease in every possible wanner. The article, which will in the course of a few deys be given to the press and will appear in full in the next issue | ot the Board of Health Bulletin, deals with the nature of he disease and methods of prevention in cases of both animals and persons. For several years the board has looked upon the increa in the number of cases of tuberculosls in Towa with grave appre hension. Long ago the buard was a unit in believing that the spread of the dis- case was due largely to diseased cattle transmitted in the milk and often in the beet itselft. The board has done everything possidle to disseminate intelll gence regarding the disease and methods of prevention through the state, but has decided to make a greater effort in this direction than ever before. The article by Dr. Gibson today contains information which will aseist in apprehending the discase in any stage, deals with pre- ventives, such us the care of stables where cows are kept, the proper care and inspection of milk and sets forth methods of handling the disease when it appears. Towa Crop Conditions. This morning the customary weekly re- port of the condition of the crops was given out by Crop Reporter Sage of this city, He summarizes the situation us follows: The average dally e s8 of temperature during the last week was 6 to § deg The drouth was quite effectually broken by refreshing showers, fairly well distrib: uted, on the 1ith, 12th and which will be very beneficlal to late coi and all un- maturcd_crops. The hot weather caused some damage pastures, potatoes and late | corn planted on randy of thin soil, but the | great bulk of the corn crop of this state, | which s planted on rich and well drained lands, has been greatly benefited by the period of ripening weather, Reports’ from all sections indicate that the bulk of the corn crop 18 now well advanced toward maturity and with reasonable weather the early planted portion will be safe from harm by frost from the lst to the 10th of September. Practically the whole crop will be in condition to withstand anything short of hard lru\zlnr weather by September 16 {to 20. Much of it will be in condition to cut by Beptember 1 Reports are not en- couragiug Al apple crop in the south- \ern laclluu‘“fl?._ Remley Not an Applicant. Attorney General Remley says that the use of his name in connection with the chancellorship of the State university was unauthorized; that he has never thought of seeking the place, which is to be vacant when Emlin McClain is elected to the su- preme bench Judge Smith McPherson mounted the bench of the federal court this afternoon and made his debut as judge of the United States circuit and district court for the Southern district of Towa. He went about the business as it he had been a judge all his life and established an early precedent for dlsposing of business promptly and speedily. Since the death of Judge John S. Woolson, eight months ago, the affairs of the federal court for this district have been looked after by Judge Shiras of the Northern district until the appointment a qouple of months ago of Judge McPher- son. During this time business, which did not then demand immediate attention, has accumulated, so that Judge McPher- son now finds himself confronted with enough to keep him busy for some time to come. Hereafter sessions of court will be held in Des Moines, Keokuk, Council Bluffs and Creston. The next term is at Council Bluffs, on September 18, while the next regular term for Des Moines will convene on November 20. Regarding the report that he had named a clerk for the district court he said: “It is wholly un- true and without any authority from me. The fact is I have been traveling for two months along the Pacific coast with friends and with Speaker Henderson at times and in all that time I did not re- celve a letter from home. When I re- turned I found the mail bag filled and among the letters .were found fifty re- quests for appointment as federal clerk, elther direct requests or in behalf of some other man, I have not made the appoint- ment and will not fer some time," O'Bleness In Recovering. W. B. O'Bleness, ex-state labor commis- sioner who was afficted with temporary aberration of mind last Saturday and after trying to kill his wife was taken to Mercy hospital, is much better.

Hackler, A strong fight has been on within party circles, which had become bitter in the extreme over the nomination for the office of county recorder. The German and Scandinavian elements were represented in the persom of Otto Ottosen and Louis Fessler, while the pres- ence of Frank Cox of Moorland in the race further complicated matters. The contest has been a bitter personal one and well grounded fear w pressed that the party might suffer seriously over the contest which was belng made on personal grounds. Otto Ottosen was finally renominated. The following ticket was named: Auditor, J. F Ford; clerk, C. H. Colby; recorder, Otto Ottosen; county attorney, Charles W.
