Superintendent of Public Instruction I
It. C. Hnrrctt of CUngc. j
Ilnllrond Commissioner E. A. Daw- i
son of Wavcrly.
Supremo Judge John C. Sherwln of
Mason City.
The first four nominees nro the pres
ent Incumbents and were named by
acclamation. Judge Sherwln was nom
inated on tho fourth ballot.
Tho convention met in the new
Auditorium nt 11 a. in. and listened ,
to tho address of Charles E. Pickett
oi Waterloo.
After the nppolntmcnt of the work
ing committees tho convention ad
journed until 2 p. m.
At tlie afternoon session tho conven
tion listened to an address by former
Congressman Georgo W. Curtis, per
manent chairman.
Nominations were then entered upon
nnd soon concluded, choice for most
part being made by acclamation. Tho
platform follows:
"We commend tho action of the Iowa
delegation In congrcsj In Its support
of protection of tho Dlngley tnrlff. of
the maintenance of tho gold standard
nnd in Its faithful support of the ad
ministration of Presldont McKlnloy In
his policy In peace and war. Wo re
joice In tho prospective election of
David B. Henderson to be speaker of
tho house of representatives and en
dorse him us wholly worthy of that
honor. Wo reatlopt the following dec
laration from tho Iowa republican
platform of 1898:
" 'The monctnry standard of this
country nnd tho commercial world Is
gold. Tho permnnonco of this stand
ard must bo assured by congressional
legislation, giving to it tho validity
nnd vitality of public law. All other
money must be kept at a parity with
gold.'
"And we urgently call upon our sen
ators nnd representatives In congress
to lend their best endeavors to enact
these propositions into law. Wo
denounce the Chicago platform nnd Its
declaration In favor of free trado and
freo silver eolnnge at the ratio of 1G
to 1 nnd its attacks upon tho courts
as threatening tho American peoplo
with a departure from tho policies of
good government that would provo
fraught with ovil to tho American
people. The enormities of that plat
form call for tho resistance of all good
citizens. As republicans wo mnko
recognition of the loynlty and exalted
patriotism of tho sound money demo
crats and men of all parties who put
nsldo partisanship in order to main
tain tho good faith of tho nation and
In resistance to tho Chicago platform
nnd its candidate.
"To maintain tho welfare of tho
people is tho object of all governments.
Industry and commerce should be left
free to proceed with their methods,
according to natural laws, but when
business aggregations known as trusts
provo hurtful to the peoplo they must
be restrained by national laws, and It
need bo abolished by law. Wo beliovo
in t..o wisdom nnd high power oi tho
United States; wo numlro tho courage
nnd skill of our olllcors. nnd glory In
tho heroism nnd constnnco of our sol
dier boys In the army nnd navy. Noth
ing of support or sympathy or mornl
or mntorlal aid In comfort will wo over
withhold from them. There shall bo
no division among us until all In arms
ngnlnst tho flng shall acknowledge its
Biiprcniacy and shnll know that even
in tho farthest east It Is tho sign and
promise of equal laws, of justice nnd
liberty throughout the land and to all
tho inhabitants uiereof.
"That for tho national defense, for
tho reinforcement of the navy, for tho
enlargement of our foreign mnrkots,
for tho employment of American work
men in tho mines, forests, farms, mills,
factories and shipynrdo, we favor tho
enactment of legislation which will rc
gnin for American ships tho carrying
of our foreign commerce."

WASHINGTON, D. C, Aug. 2.
"Three now cases of yellow fever In

ono death" Is tho olllclat report re
ceived last night by Surgeon Gouornl
Wymnn from General Wasdln, tho
yollaw fovor expert on duly nt tho In
stitution. In addition to Dr. WnBtlln'a
figures sent previously, this mnke3 up
to dnto forty enses in all. which havo
occurred nt tho homo, of which olght
havo proved fatal. Surceon Genernl
Whlto telcgrnphed Dr. Wymnn thnt In
his opinion thoro was llttlo doubt
there had been some llttlo fovor In
fection In tho neighboring vlllngo of
Phoobus, but tho surgeon general said
tonight thnt this tlisuntch had not
been followed by any ovldonco of n
posltlvo caBo at that place.
Should tho fovor dovolop thoro,
however, no surprise will bo felt In
vlow of tho proximity of the place to
tho soldiers' homo and tho mixing of
the Inmates of the Institution with
tho peoplo of Phoebus.
Its appearance at Phoebus. Dr. Wy
mnn thinks, under n those clrcum
stnnces, would bo simply n coinci
dence. Tho opinion wns oxpresned
that tho sltuntion continues enccur
nglng, Inasmuch as the dlsenso has
been kept well within Its orlg'nal
bound. Nono of tho nenrby townB
other than Phoebus havo reported tho
appearance of Infection or suspicious
cases, Tho peoplo for miles around
tho homo aro much alarmed, but nro
quiet. No restrictions hnvo been
placed on tho departure of tho sovoral
hundred visitors nt Old Point Com
fort, but Dr. PettUB, In charge of at
fairs there, will exorcise supervision
of thoso who mny leave, bo as to avoid
danger of their communicating tho
dlBoase. This will apply also to tho
soldiers now stationed on tho govern
ment reservation there nnd who havo
been ordorcd to proceed to Battery
Point, Del. Word reached tho Bur
geon gonornl thnt nrrangemonts hnd
been mndo for tho transportation of
tho nrmy through army headquarters
at Philadelphia.
Battery Point Is nn Isolated plnco
nnd Dr. Wymnn hns no fenr thnt tho
soldiers will enrry nny Infection with
thorn.
Tho Burgeon genernl continues his
precautions to provont tho spread of
tho diBoaso nnd in dlspalciiing ntuit
tlonnl help to tho Burgeons now on tho

at Newport News for the prcsont nnd
will Biinorvlso matters along tho lino
of tho railroad between that city and
Richmond. Hospital Steward kolu,
who Is a yellow fovor Immuno now nt
Norfolk, Iiiib been directed to report
to Dr. Wlilto nnd rentier whnt Bcrvlco
ho mnv bo called on to perform. Dr,
Whlto will romnin In chnrgo nt Ilamp

easo is doubtful. Surgeon Flicks, now

tion, hns been ordered to Norfolk and
Past Assistant Surgeon Stimpson, now
