Two clowns attached to the Otto Floto dog and pony show got the laugh on Dep- uty City Marshal Leuch yesterday. One was attired in ordinary civillan clothing, | while the other wore the grotesque cos- tume of his part. They followed the parade | and at the corner of Broadway and Fourth street apparently engaged in a fight. The plain clothes clown was felled to the ground with a brick hurled by the cos- tumed clown, who proceeded to pound the prostrate man with a viclous looking club. A crowd collected and the clowns acted their parts so well that those who wit- nessed the fight sent for the police. Deputy City Marshal Leuch was the first to arrive on the scene and escorted the belligerents to the city jall, the clowns not objecting. Once inside the portals of the jall they explained the whole affair was but an ad- vertising scheme and that the deadly look- ing club and brick were ‘“stuffed” dum- mies. They were at once released and his brother officers had the laugh on Officer Leuch for the balance of the day. Plumbing and heating. Bixby & Son, Alexander Ritter Dies Suddenly.

Harmony with a capital H prevailed at the republican county convention of Potta- wattamle county yesterday, all the fighting naming of the ticket was finished by o'clock. The first nomination on the list was that for state senator, and Colonel C. G. Saun- ders was renomdnated by acclamation. There were calls for a speech from the colonel, but Chairman McDonald said he had made a speech and that was sufficient and the convention wou'd proceed with the work In hand, omitting all speech-making, as the country delegates had to catch early afternoon trains home. He also ruled that informal ballots would be dispensed with. W. H. Freeman of Oakland was rencmi- nated by acclamation for state representa- tive, but it took two ballots to name a successor to J. H. Jenks of Avoca, there being three candidates for the nomination. The first ballot gave A. L. Preston of Avoca 46% votes, R. J. Martin of Hancock 74% and J. B. Matlack of Crescent 53%, The nomination went to Martin on the sec- ond ballot with 02% votes, as against 52% 20 I tlon of Mr. Preston, who was given the privilege of the floor from the lobby, the nomination of Mr. Martin was made unani- mous. Two Ballots for Treasarer. Then came the nomination of county treasurer and it was generally expected that a prolonged struggle would ensue, but the combination of the Greenshields and Consigney forces threw it to the east end candidate on the second ballot. The first ballot gave Leffert 7% votes; Consigney, 53, and Greenshlelds, 4. On the opening of the second ballot Greenshlelds' delegates went to Consigney and when the roll call was concluded he had 82 votes—six short of the nomination, while Leffert had 75 and Greenshlelds, 17. Then the delegates who had remalned by Greenshields turned the tables by changing their vote to Con- signéy and one of thg keenest fights for a nomination In the history of republican politics in Pottawattamle county was closed. The nomination for sheriff had been ex-| pected to result in an Interesting contest, | but it did not. Edward Canning, former deputy under Sherlft Cousins, had figured on having 100 delegates and he missed it only half a delegate, as on the first bal- lot he caPtured the nomination with 99 votes as against 3% for D. W. McKee of Carson, 16 for G. W. Ames of Walnut and 24 for Captain Cousins. The ballot proved a great surprise to the friends of Sherift Cousins. Ed Slade of Avoca, who for sev-' eral months has maintained headquarters in this city and made a vigorous cam- paign for the nomination, announced his withdrawal from the race before the first| having been done at the primarles and prior to the gathering In the south room of the county courthouse. During the early hours of the morning the Greenshields and Consigney forces got together and it was known before the convention was called tc order such a combination would necessarily result in the nomination for county treas- urer, over which there had been such a fight waged, going early in the balloting tc the candidate from Avoca, L. G. Consigney, in the event of Greenshields failing to se- cure it on the first ballot. This combina tion between the Greenshields and Consig- ney forces took the control of the conven- tion out of the hands of the “antis” and resulted in the defeat of Emil Leffert, their candidate for the nomination for terasurer. When the convention was called to order at 11 o'clock by George 8. Wright, chair- man of the county central committee,, every precingt was represented by a full delegation and the courtroom was thronged with an expectant and interested crowd. Chatrman Wright announced the selection of Alderman Charles W. McDonald as tem- porary chairman and Robert Wallace as temporary secretary. On assuming the gavel Mr. McDonald made a short address which was enthuslastically recelved. He sald: I Chatrmi ald Pours 01l The people of this county from year to ear continue to express their confidence n the principles of the republican party and its chosen representatives in such de- I a nomini tion s regarded ual election. Naturally, candida for nomination work with spirit amounting to enthusiasm, so that today this convention is confronted with a number of the best from which to choose for each office to be filled. Of ne- ity of these ‘‘many that have been d but few can be chosen.”” 1 beg that the unsuccessful ones will be In a measure solaced with the thought that every dele- re not enough offi- Keneral whole of the people, resardiess of party, Is the selection of delegates to the - convention soon to convene. It is conceded by all the leading journals, and they are the pulse of the nation, that 'what Towa does in this meeting will have much to do with the platform and doings of the not far distant national convention, and by some it is sald where our good vernor sitn there politically is the head of the ta- ble. Pottawattamie, being one of the larg- est, and having the second largest delegn- tion of any county in the st must needs | exercise care today in its deliberations, | Dboth in its selection of county nominees | and state delegates named. Differences ex- ist, or, more properly speaking, preferences of candidates for our county offices. Let us be guarded that these preferences do not develop in prejudices, so that when lhe‘ nominee is nam: every member of this convention, as well as every republican and citizen of our falr county, may prac- jce *“‘that noble spirit of emulati ‘who can best work and who best agree.

Battey of Avoca added as reading c'erk The committee on credentials reported there were no contests and the committee on resolutions offered the following, which were adonted: Resolutions Adopted.

Towa crop bulletin for week ending June 8: The first week In June brought a marked improvement, and the weather conditions of fleld work In considerable portions of the state, and seems to glve promise of thc early restoration of seasonable tempera- ture, sunshine and rainfall. This Is im- peratively needed to prevent well nigh total loss of corn and some other important crops Reports are much more encouraging in tone from the larger number of countles. The greater amount of damage by exces- sive rains and floods has been suffered in the dralnage basins of the Des Moines, Towa and Cedar rivers. The rainfall for the week ending the 8th was generally light, and the work of plowing, planting and re-planting corn has been resumed in upland s In four-fifths of the counties of the state. The present conditions justify the belief that the amount of irreparable damage to erops, though quite heavy In many localitles, will not be as heavy as appeared (o be imminent during the helght of the floods. The acreage of corn will, of course, be very considerably short of the large area planted in recent yenrs. The oats crop Is becoming quite rank and the same Is measurably true of wheat, barley and clover. Apples and berrles are quite promising Rob and Burn Store.
