Leiman_of Chicago | v | i BRICHT FOR REPUBLICANS Encouraging Reports from Oounty Oome in to Ohairman Wright. EXPECTS LARGER VOTE THAN LAST YEAR State Committee Fromises Either from Senator Dolliver or Secretary Shaw Daring Campaign, “Reports from the precinct committer men . throughout the county which reaching me dally indicate a mueh larger republican majority In Pottawattamle this than at the last elect was the statement County Chair George 8. Wright yvesterday. The reports of the committeemen, Mr. Wright stated further, were being substantiated by the poll now Dbelng taken throughout the county. While the result of the November electiom wis fever In doubt, everything now points 1o an increased republican majority county year m of and the election o fthe republican county | ticket from top to bottom. The speech of Governor Cummins at the big republican rally at Avoea last Friday has stirred up considerable enthusiasm in the east end of the county and politics in that section is beginning to hum G Consigney, the republican candidate for treasurer, whose home ig In Avoca, was a conspicuous figure at the rally there and was given n rousing reception. crats are centering their efforts to (ry to elect Brooks Reed treasurer and are willing to sacrifice everything else, except mayhe their candidate for sheriff. Mr. Consigney's election, however, was assured from the day he was nominated and reports from all over the county show that it is but a matter of how big a majority. Mr. Consigney has long been one of the leading business men of the east end of the county and is not only well known as such in Council Bluffs but throughout the entire state. County Chairman Wright will arrange shortly for a rally at Treynor, at which Congressman Smith has consented to speak. Several other meetings will be held later throughout the county at Which State Senator Saunders will be the principal speaker. Mr. Wright is in receipt of an- other letter from Secretary Dawson of the state speakers' bureau glving assurance that arrangements can be made for either | Shaw tc Dawson Dolliver or Secretary in Council Bluffs. Mr. writes, however, that the date, previous arrangements for both these speakers, must necessarily be toward the end of the campaign. This is perfectly satisfactory to Chairman Wright, who was anxiouf that if a big meeting be held in this city and a prominent speaker secured that it be towards the close of the cam- palg 80 far the campaign has been to a great extent conducted by the candidates them- selves. Ed Canning, the republican candi- dite for sherift, has everywhere throughout the county met with a flattering reception and indications are that he will poll.a con- siderable number of Jemocratic votes on election day. The democratic county ticket this fall is made up of men who with but few exceptions are old office seekers and there are a great number of democrats who feel that new blood should have been in- fused Into the ticket instead of nominating the old perennial war horses who have year after year gone down in defeat.

DUBUQUE, Ta., Oct. 11.—How mauy men who have acquired a fortune by practicing the most rigld economy in their, younger days would abandon their palatial resi [dence in old age to live in a woodshed? ‘hat Is what Abraham Slimmer, known throughout Towa @ the “Waverly philan- | thropist,” Intends to do. The woodshed which Mr. Slimmer will move Into will be made into two rooms, a bedroom and din- | ingroom. e will live alone and cook his | own meals. He declares that he will have | reached the true state of happiness in this world—contentment in simplicity, During the past few vears Mr. Slimmer | has given more money to charitable insti- tutions than any other man in lowa. ile |18 said to be worth more than $1,000,000 and 1t is his purpose to give this fortune in various sums to the needy institutions of the state before he dies. Like Mr. Car- negle, he considers it a disgrace to die rich. Two years ago Mr. Slimmer oftered to give up his mansion at Waverly to the Sisters of Charity to be used as a hospital, The sisters were not in a position to ace cept the offer at that time, but recently they notified Mr. Slimmer that if the offer still held good they would accept it. The philanthropist renewed his offer and then began the remodeling of his woodshed Into a domicile. The palatial residence is also | undergoing transformation and when the improvements are completed Waverly will have the first hospital in its history.

About two months ago Warden Jones of the state penitentiary at Fort Madison received a call from a palc- faced, sorrowing woman, who said she lived in New Orieans and she a-ked for an interview with one J. W. Sanders, a young conviet of 18, confined in the prison. The Interview was granted and for the fArst | time in six years mother and son stood | face to face and recognized each other. | it was a sad day for the woman. She told | er story pathetically. She was of a fine outhern family, in which there had been 4 number of professional men of high standing, In New Orleans. The famlly was in comfortable circumstances and lived at case with the world., Thelr son wus 4 | promising youth in the high school, when at the age of 12 he suddegly disappeared. He left no clue to his plans or purposes. The parents sought for him long and vainly.| and finally commenced to advertise in the newspapers. They fnserted adverlisements all over the country and spent much money In this way. Then they formed connection with detective agencies. Ihey sent out thousands of circulars contalning a de- scription of the boy and his portralt and offering a reward for information concern- ing him. Many times they thought they had a clue to the boy, but each time they were disappointed. They spent nearly all thelr small fortune In this search, Lut had resolved to prosecute it for all time. One day a detective in the Pinkerton office In Chicago scanned the portraits of the men In the ¥ort Madison penitentiary and thought he detected the face of the lost boy. Investigation was made, which showed this to be true, and the mother was in- formed of the fact. Efforts to Secure Release. The New Orleans mother, while over- Joyed at finding her son even though he was a convict, set about to secure his re- | lease. Here is where she was fortunate, in that she had enjoyed the acquaintance of Governor Stephen B. Packard when he was in New Orleans as the governor of Loulsiana in the reconstruction period. She recalled that Governor Packard is now a resideaimt of lowa and has veen for many | years and she immediately sought him out | and found him ready to assist her in every legitimate way. She appealed to him for direction and the appeal was not in vain, fof he showed her the way to secure the She ubtained interviews with the judge and the county | attorney and the injured parties.
