UNCONSCIOUS UNDER BRIDGE Bert Wise Found at Late Hour Lying in Oresk Under Railroad Tracks. DOES NOT KNOW HOWHE CAME THERE Indieations that Fell or Was a Fa & Spell—Prospect He Will Recover. /| Bert Wise, a young man 21 years of age, was found ip an unconsclous condition late Friday night under the raflroad, bridge at Fifth avenue and Fourth street. He wi suffering from several cuts on the head and was unable to give any explanation of how he came there. Young Wise was discovered by Frank Ball, a motor conductor, while making his last run from the Union Pacific transfer depot. As the car was passing the bridge Conductor Ball heard groans coming from under the bridge. He stopped the car and, with W, H. 1, proceeded to investi- gate. Recognizing young Wise, they took him to his home near by and a physiclan was summoned, who dressed his wounds, but it was not until yesterday morning that Wise regained consclousness. He was un- able to account for his injuries or for how he happened to be under the bridge. Earller in the night Wise went uptown to gecure a jug of water from the artesian well on Broadway and some groceries. He rode with Driver Ed Sovereign of the American Bxpress company’s wagon to the Northwestern depot and from there to the Iliinois Central depot. That is the last that young Wise claims he can re- member. Young Wise is not in the habit of drinking and had not indulged that evening. It is supposed that he either mistook his way In the dgrknees and walked off the bridge into the creek or elsé was selzed with vertigo and fell head- long into the bottom of the stream as he was about to cross the bridge on his way home. Inquiry at his home last evening elicited the ‘information that while his condition ‘was serious, no fatal results were antici- pated. A musicale will be given at the SBecond Presbyterian church on Thursday evening, August 21 for the benefit of the organ fund. An excellent program will be rendered by the following well known musicians: Mre. A. A. Covalt, Mrs. N. O. Ward Misses Maude Bell, Hortense Forsyth, Mae Tulleys, Mar- Plumbing and heatiog.

(From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, Aug. 16.—(Special.)—The heavy rains of the past two days in central Iowa have caused alarm again along_ the rivers. The Des Moines and Raccoon rivers rose about eight feet the past day and a half and are still rising steadily. This has caused some overflow of the lowlands lying along the rivers and several families have begun to.get ready to move out on short notice, fearing a repetition of the floods of a few wweks ago, It Is certain that the Des Molnes: river will rises still higher because reports from above are to the effect that the heavy rains in the central part of the state bave caused the smaller streams to become rivers. The fact that the ground is so fully saturated with water makes it easy for the rivers to rise high again. The olear- ing up of the previous floods here has not been fully completed. Some families were still living In tents until this week, when the city ordered all the tents returned. The fact that there has beem no serious illness in the flooded districts is due en- tirely to the care taken by th eity officlals in having the cleaning done and disinfection of all the pools of water left standing. Ann Announcements are of the candidacles for next year before the republican state convention. The announce- ment has been made of several who aspire to be superintendent of public instruction. Prof. J. F. Riggs of Sigourney is announced and it is certain that Prof. A. W. Stuart of Ottumwa and - Prof. Storm of Storm Lake will be in the race, besides a number of others. N. 8. Ketchum of Marshalltown, who wi defeated for rallroad commis- sioner, states that he will be a candidate ain next year. Colonel D. A. Palmer of ‘Washington, the present incumbent, is also likely to be a candidate and Mr. Blake- more of Taylor county, who was in the race this year. The two places on the ticket will probably be the only omes over which there can be any controversy, as the three other places will doubtless be filled by ac- clamation. During the coming week the republicans will nominate a candidate for congress in the Second district and the democrats in the Bighth district. The republican cen vention will be at Clinton on Wednesday with four active candidates—Willlam Hoft- man. Muscatine: F. W. Eills. Clinton: O. ‘W. Gregory, Maquoketa; W. H. Wilson, Davenport. The democratic convention will nominate Senator Claude Porter of Center- ville to run against Colonel W. P. Hepburn. Program for the 0dd Fellows. The program for the soverelgn grand lodge of 0dd Fellows was fssued today. There will be nothing special Saturday, September 13, but the annual sermon will be dellvered Sunday morning at the Con- gregational church by Rev: Van Horn. ‘The opening sessiofl wilt beMonday at the Aud- itorfum.

Evans, acting grand chaplain, addresses of welcome by Governor Cummins, Mayor Brenton, Grand Master Newman, Grand Patriarch Milliman, Miss Ida Van Horn, president of the Rebekahs and M. A.

' Ar- rangements are being made for the recep- tlon of from 16,000 to 20,000 visitors. Democratic Platform Qu v The democrats of Polk county this after- noon held a county convention and nomi- nated a county ticket, after adopting a plat- form that is a queer mixture of state- ments and assertions. The platform con- tains over 1000 words, and renews the time-honored alleglance of the democratr of Polk county to “their time-honored al- leglance to democracy as a legal and eth- fcal principle,” gather bright hopes from the last two republican national adminis- trations, express a firm and” abiding con- viction the people will yet “wake to the full and ccmplete realization of the truth- fulness and the availabllity or our poaition as a party on all public questions,” refer to the fact that the republicans after thelr success in 1896 were forced to give the people more money as the democrats had demanded, and say the democratic party can stand it if the people can stand it to “wait. for ‘the eventual outcome of the gold stand- ard; accuse the republicans of insincerity in advocating bimetalllsm in 1856; denounce the recent Philippine bill as a repea! of the Declaration of Independence, states that their contention has been for years thal the tariff shelters monopoly, and this has now been acknowledged by the lowa re- publicans in convention, demand legis! tion against abuse of injunctions in the in- terest of corporations, give praise to the army in the Philippines, but condemn offi- clal politiclans who have made it an in- strument of plunder and pillage, and finally they reafirm the Kansas City platform en- tire, Burglar Goes to a Hoapital John Bilas, who eays he lives in Madi- son, Wis, was caught in the act of at- tempting to commit burglary at a store at Campbell, a station on the Milwaukee, in the west part of the county, last night. The owner of the store, J. W. Himes, was Ilying in wait for him, having previously suspected that ttempt was to be made to break into his store.
