DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS WITHOUT HOPE Proposal is Made to Have a Day at Avoea Fair Set Aside for Each of the Parties to Hold a Rally. The republican campaign in Pottawat- tamie county will not be opened up before October 1, was the statement made yes- terday by George 8. Wright, chairman of the republican county central committee. Chairman Wright favors a short, campaign this year, as everything indicates a sweep- ing republican victory throughout the county, and the need of a lengthy or vigor- ous campaign ls not apparent. Candidates are, however, not letting the grass grow | under their feet and ever since the re- | publican county convention have been doing more or less work on their own be- half. Chairman Wright says he does not see the necessity for a “speaking” campaign this fall, it being what is termed an oft year in polities, and there belng practically no issues before the people so far as the county election 18 concerned. Chairman Wright's opinion is sald to be shared by a majority of the members of the county central committee, but there are some of the committed, also a few ©of the can- didates, who favor sending several well known speakers through the county in October. The plan of the county cam- paign will not be determined uponm, how- ever, untll the committee meets toward the latter part of September. This year the democratic candidates are making the campaign on thelr own hook and the democratic ootnty central com- mittee has no funds with which to make any campaign. This being the situation, Chairman Wright of the republican central committee does not see the necesssity of expending good money in sending speakers through the county and holding rallies.

NO UNION OF STREET CAR MEN the Effort Falls Largely Through Opposition of the Older Employes. The effort to organize a union among the employes of the motor company in Council Blufts has proved a failure. This Is ad- mitted even by the men who were fore- most in urging Iits formation. Many of the old-time employes were opposed to the proposition, giving their reason that they could not see how it would better them any. The new men, it Is sald, were afrald to take any prominent part in organizing a union, fearing that they might lose their jobs if the management got wind of it. Those opposed to the union did so because | they state that thelr employment with the company is sure so long as they attend to thelr duty, and that dismissals are only brought about by cause or lack of atten- tion to duty. While there has been some dissatisfac- tion among the men recently owing to the oumber of employes summarily let out, the men as a rule are contented and satis- fled with existing conditions. This 1s the second time that an attempt has been made without success to organize & union in Council Bluffs among the motor company’'s employes, but several of the men say that in the event of the organiza- tion being completed in Omaha and the employes of the system in this city beilng subject to the juriediction of the same management when the lines of the two tities are merged, that a third attempt wmay meet with better success.

Mayor Morgan yesterday issued his off- clal proclamation calling upon the citizens of Council Bluffs to generally observe Labor day and requesting that all busin Zlouses be closed in order that the employes may participate in the exercises on that day. The proclamation follows: Whereas, The prosperity and progress of our community depends to a large extent upon the well-being of those who labor, and In recognition of its importance, the ture of our state has set apart the 1s ‘l‘l'vllwdl tember as Labor Day, and erefore, 1 would recommend and re- quest that the day be l'l\fl'lll( observed, and that all stores, -hor ac labor is employed, be closed, 5o that every ':’:klnl‘:ln may hl"l. ‘lhhe oppnn‘unllyhlu enjoy pate in the exercises that may be held on that day.

In this cate a day will be set apart for & repub- liean rally for the t end of the county’ during the Avoca fair. ‘While the active campafgn will not begin until October 1, Chairman Wright is not idle and he is keeping track of the situa. tion throughout the county. He is almost dally in receipt of reports from the sev- eral county committeemen and these in- dicate that the republican ticket is sure of election from top to bottom this fall. The democrats of Pottawattamle county realize that the fight is practically a hope- less one, as was indicated by the diffi- culty the Neola convention had in securing candidates for some of the offices. They are concentrating their efforts on Louls Zurmuehlen for clerk of the district court and it is said are prepared to sacrifice everything else in order to secure his election. This is especially true in Coun- cil Bluffs, where Zurmuehlen has for sev- eral years been prominent in democratic politics. = Freeman Reed, the republican nominee for this office, is generally con- ceded to have a walkaway and will be re- elected by a sweeping majority. During his incumbency of the office Mr. Reed has made an enviable record and the manner in which the office has been conducted hi been above criticism. This is generally acknowledged by all who have had busi- ess in the office. Mr. Reed has many friends In the democratic ranks and his friends are coufident that he will draw a large number of votes from the opposition in addition to the vote of his own party. The situation was brlefly summed up by Chairman Wright yesterday ‘when he sald: “What is the use of expending money and golng to the trouble of an old- time campaign this fall? Pottawattamie county is republican and will stay so. The county ticket will be elected from top {to bottom by healthy majorities. Even ., the most ardent democrats are forced to | admit this."

WADE STICKS TO HIS MEN After Exeiting Experience He Finally Lan His Prisoners in J Frank Stotz and Henry Hymer, two sol- alers who, while under arrest, escaped from the custody of Private B. L.

[ The latter brought his bayomet Into play, but before he could use it to effect the other prisoner hit him over the head with @ shovel. Wade was felled to the grouad and his gun taken from him. The prisoners then ordered Wade to march ahead and they drove him into the timber, where they de- liberated for quite & while what to do with {him. They firet suggested killing him, but finally decided this would be too dangerous, 80 determined to make Wade accompany them. With Wade thelr prisoner the two men reached the vieinity of Plattsmouth, where 650 | Wade succeeded in telling a citizen the | predicament he was and asking him to secure an officer. Before the officer arrived, however, Wade's captors decided to move w0 | o and made for Pacific Junction.

He suggested that he accompany IOWA. them and they consented, not realizing that Wade had a plan to turn the tables on them. Near noon they reached Al Haney's farm near Bartlett and Wade volunteered to get food for the three. He went to Haney's house and explained the situation to him, requesting him to secure help and interespt them at the crossroads after they had eaten lunch. The three men partook of the lunch provided by Hamey while the latter secured the services of two nelghbors, Thomas Long and Charles Tavers, both of whom armed themselves with revolvers and proceeded to the crossroads and lay in wait. As Wade and his two former prisoners reached the crossronds, accompanied by Haney, who had volunteered to show them the nearest way to the next town, Long | and Tavers jumped from their hiding place and presenting their revolvers at Hymer and Stotz, ordered them to hold up thelr hands. Stotz obeyed, but Hymer refused, and Wade jumped on him. After a des- perate struggle Hymer was subdued. Both | men were then securely tied, placed in a/ wagon and driven to the depot at Bartlett, | where they were placed on the train and brought to Council Bluffs last evening, Pri- vate Wade and Mr. Haney guarding them with loaded revolvers.

COMMERCIAL ASSOCIATIONS ORGANIZE Business Societies of State Form Per- manent Organization—J. A. Kelth v er Arrest on Cha of Embesslement. (From a Staft Correspondent.) DES MOINES, Aug. 26.—(Special.)—The governor of the state and the junior United States senator were the speakers at the campfire of old soldiers in the new stock pavilion at the etate fair grounds this afternoon. The day had turned fair and the program was carried out in full. There were great crowds om the grounds and several thousand persons were present at the campfire in the pavilion. Music | was furnished by the girls' orchestra from the State Industrial school at Mitchell- ville. Governor Cummins spoke of the great glory of the state and of the nation re- sultant from the work of the army and ut- tered a warm welcome to those who above all others, he declared, deserved a wel- come in every American home. More than forty years ago the men gathered here went away from the almost untouched prairies of Iowa and now they see them producing of the wealth of nature in great abundance.

Mr. Dawsen is engaged in buying up outstanding stock, sold when the original company was organized for ita | manutacture, ana as soon as this is done the transter of all formulas, secrets, etc., in the possession of the inventor will be | made. The original company was organized about ten years ago with a capital stock of unlimited proportions. Just as it was on the polnt of beginning operations, the inventor was arrested for the murder of his son-in-law, Walter Scott, and incarcer- ated In the penitentiary at Anamosa. The formula for making Damascus steel was locked up in the vault of the Des Moines National bank, where it remained until Dawson's release a fow months ago. Upon regaining his liberty Dawson conceived the iden of organizing anew and going ahead with the experiment. His plan has now been abandoned and the secret will be sold. It is understood the sum to be paild for it will make the ex-convict a wealthy man. Towa Crop Conditions. Following is the crop report for the Towa Weather bureau for week ending August 25, 1902: The temperature of the last week was slightly below normal, with excesaive humidity and cloudiness. The rainfall was lighter than during the preceding week, though heavy downpours were reported at several stations, with severe local wind- storms. In the more favored districts some threshing was done from stacks. The weather was generally too damp and cloudy to dry out the graln remaining in shocks and there are numerous reports of oats and wheat sprouting and rotting in the fields. A very large percentage of oats and considerable wheat have been ex- posed to serious damage. The corn crop was badly blown down in limited areas by severe wind squalls on the night of the 19th. But in the larger part of the state the crop is in airly good condition, though its progress hae been retarded by cool and wet weather. Probably over 50 per cent of the crop may be classed as early corn, with possibility of reaching full maturity during the first balf of September. There is imperativo need of dry, warm weather very soon to Dol ver Scores Street Falrs. Senator Dolliver also spoke at the camp- fire. He complimented the people of Iowa on their state fairs and declared that this institution, backed by the state, con- tinues to be the great annual recreation of thousands, while In the cities there are the annual carnivals of vice and erime which have supplanted the healthier and saner sports of other days. He spoke of the service of the soldiers of 1861-4 hav- ing rendered the greatest possible service to the entire world in that they shot to death the idea that any considerable minority had a right to destroy the unicn at thelr will, The formal sdedication of the pavilion will take place tomorrow. The stock judg- ing commenced today in the pavilion and will continue through the days until fin- ished. The race program was taken up under favorable circumstances and will be completed if possible during the week. In every department the fair is completer than ever before and with fine weather the rest of the week will be a great suc- cess. Commereial Assoe! tlons Organize.

The pre- liminary step fn the formation of this as- soclation was taken a month ago and com- pleted today. Accused of Embexsiement, J. A. Keith, formerly of this city, is under arrest at Storm Lake and an officer went to get him today. He is accused of embezzling $850 trom Mrs, A. M.

President Rohrer and other members of the Bourd of Trustees of the public library are much chagrined over the opposition that has developed among the aldermen to the 3 mill levy asked by the board for the purchase of a site for a permanent library building. Refusal of the city councll to certify to this levy will, it is asserted by the library trustees, forever preclude any possibllity of financial a: nce from An- drew Carnegle. The trustees have for some time been in correspondence with Mr. Carnegie and ‘were hopeful that if they could raise the necessary funds to purchase a suitable site for & permanent home for the library they could secure from him a sufficlent sum to erect the bullding. In assisting other cities to secure library buildings Mr. Carnegle has invariably insisted that the city must first secure a sultable site for the bullding and then guarantee a sufficlent income to sup- port the institution. President Rohrer, however, has not given up the fight and s hopeful yet of inducing the aldermen to look upon the proposition for a 3-mill levy for this purpose in a favor- able light, He has secured reports from a number fo cities which have been aided by Mr. Carnegle in obtaining permanent library buildings and these he has distributed among the city councilmen in order that they may be more fully informed in the matter, TO PROSECUTE SIX SALOONS Mrs, T.

MOTHER IS TO KEEP HER CHILD Law P ed by the Last Legislnture In Mleld to Be Unco tational KEOKUK, Ia, Aug. 26.—A new law passed by the last legislature at the in- stance of soclologists was declared uncon- stitutional this evening in court here at the end of the trial of the first case in Towa brought under it. The new law pro- vided for taking children from incompe- tent mothers and placing them in better homes. The court held that the act has not the proper title and does not give the right of trial by jury, as proceedings may be brought before the mayors of citles, who have summary jurisdiction. The case, which will go to the supreme court for final determination of the con stitutionality of the law, involves a poor working woman with & bay less than 1 year old, which the Philanthroplc soctety and club women and secretary of the Asso- clated Charities attempted to put under better auspices. The new Iowa law was passed last winter and 18 entirely new in Amerlcan jurispru- dence, relating to the family, and lawyers consider it very broad and radical. Dies from Dog Rite.
