CROP OF CANDIDATES COOD
Woods Are Full of Democratic Aspirant * for
County Nominations.
WAR OF FACTIONS LARGELY RESPONSIBLE
Mnnr Divisions or the Tnrtr Knch
1'nnhlnic Someone ( or lOnch of
the oniccn to DC
I-lllcd.
When the democrat * of Pottawattamle
county meet in convention Thursday , Sep
tember 14 , to place in nomination a county
ticket , they will not lack for material from
which to make a selection. For every ot-
flco for which nominations are to made there
are candidates almost by the dozen and the
convention promises to be a warm num
ber. The party la divided Into factions and
thli accounts for the many candidate * In
the Hold this fall. With few exceptions
the candidates themselves are not out work
ing for nominations , but are "in the hands' '
of their friends , " that is to say each par- I
tlcular faction among the bourbons has Its j
particular sot of candidates. I
In the ranks of the party in the city , I
the old fight between the followers of
Chief Blxby and the adherents of City
Treasurer Brooks Reed and the Jeffersonlan
clubltes Is still waging and will , It la prom-
lied , bo one of the entertaining features
of the coming county convention. The
tastlcH adopted by the Blxbyltea at the
recent county convention , it Is said , has set
the rank and fllo of the party in the coun
try precincts against the faction controlled
by the chief of police and that they will
rally around the banner of Brooks Reed.
As before stated the list of candidates
said to be in the field for the different
nominations Is a lengthy one. For state
senator , J. Hart of Avoca , Roscoe Barton ,
an attorney from the same town , Dr. W.
E. Hempstead of Carson and Emmet Tin-
ley , a well-known attorney of this city , are
the most prominently mentioned. The
nurao of Roscoe Barton is also mentioned
In connection with the nomination for one
of the two representatives. Other names
mentioned for state representatives are Dr.
Tobey of Oakland , the old democratic war
horse , who for many years combined phys
ics and Journalism ; Fred Aotzol of Avoca ,
Samuel Underwood and W. H. Ware of this
city , Gus Dledrick of Avoca and John
Black of Waveland township. The naino
of John Black is also prominently , men
tioned In connection with the nomination
for county treasurer. William Brooks
Reed , city treasurer and president of the
Jcfforsonian club , has been for several
moons making an active campaign for this
nomination and is said to have a large fol
lowing In the country dlstriots , who wish
to see him aa the party's candidate for
treasurer. J. K. Cooper , at present a mem
ber of the Board of Education In this city ,
Is also , mentioned. His candidacy is being
pushed along by the faction opposed to
Reed. The names of Sylvester Dye of Ma
cedonia and Eugene Stupfel of Lewis town
ship arc also prominently mentioned as
candidates for this particular jjcxnlnatlon.
The indications are that there will bo a
lively flEbit over the nomination for sheriff
and this promises to be one of the interest
ing features of the convention. Chief of
Police Blxby , although ho persists in declar
ing < Jiat he docs not hanker after the nom
ination and Is even doubtful If he would
accept it in the event of it being tendered
him , is being actively pushed forward by a
certain faction of the party in this city.
The country bourbons , It is understood ,
favor the nomination of John P. Hazon of
Avoca , wfco held the office previous to the
election of John S. Morgan on the republi
can ticket four years ago. William Schill
ing of Avoca Is on aspirant for the nomina
tion , and has been hustling for some time
with a view to seeurinc U. He feels that
ha and the office of eh or 1ft are Just suited
for each other.
Until a few days ago It was generally conceded -
ceded that Prof. H. W. Sawyer , the present
Incumbent , would hava no opposition In
securing a renotninatlon for county superin
tendent of schools. It is possible , however ,
that lie will hare a fight on his hands , due
to the fact -that he Joined tbe Joffersonlan
club. The Blxby faction , it is understood ,
will try to secure the nomination for J. K.
Cooper , whose name is also mentioned In
connection with the nomination for treas
urer. Mr. Cooper held the office prior to
the incumbency of Prof. Paulson.
Dr. F. T. Soybert of this city , it is gen
erally conceded , will have a walkaway for
the nomination for coroner , and L. P. Judson -
son will meet with no opposition as far as
is known at present in securing the nomina
tion for county surveyor. For member of
the Board < xf County Supervisors , the only
name mentioned so far Is that of Fred Het-
zel of Avoca , who has also been named in
connection with the nomination of state rep
resentative.
The election of a chairman of the county
central committee promises to call forth
a lively contest , from the fact that the
frlonds of Brooks Reed will try to keep him
there , while the Bixbyltes are determined , If
possible , to put eorno other man In , In
connection with the county chairmanship
the nfttnea of Thomas E. Casady and W. H.
Thomas , both of this city , are prominently
mentioned and U is possible that In the
event of Reed being unable to retain the
position , ( he country delegate * will have a
candidate of their own.

DBS MOINES , la. , Aug. 29. ( Special Tele

the defunct Iowa Mutual Insurance asso
ciation and the 'Mutual ' Flro Insurance com
pany may bo prosecuted for Infringement
of the insurance lawe , C. II. P vyno , sccro-
tary of the Farmers' Mutual Insurance
company of Port Dodge , arrived hero today
and announced that ho will confer with
local attorneys In regard to the cases of
the two companies. Payne Is of the belief
that the officers of the company are crim
inally liable beauieo of the alleged misrep
resentations made In regard to the business
of tha companies. Ho will hare the matter -
tor thoroughly Investigated while In the
city and will probably toy the results of
his investigation before the insurance de
partment.
The claim of the criminal conduct of the
companies is based on an alleged represen
tation that they were mutual companies ,
while the claim Is made that they were
practically stock companies. This claim IB
furthered by the statement that at least
one of the companies has been In the habit
of accepting premium notes In payment for
policies which were written dp by the com
pany.

that Des Motnes will have every principal

Every road of prominence In Iowa , with the

The weekly crop summary of the Iowa
weather and crop service says :
"Tho last week was warmer than usual ,
the CXCCES of temperature at the central
station averaging 4 degree * daily. The
rainfall was variable , but sufficient In the
larger part of the state for the needs of
the unrlpencd crops and to facilitate plow
ing. The conditions were very favorable
for closing up work in the harvest fields
and threshing from the shocks. Reports of
yield of wheat , oats and barley are variable ,
but with the exception of wheat the returns
indicate qulto satisfactory results. In nu
merous localities the yield f oats is un
usually heavy. Corn Is making notable
progress toward maturity nnd a consider
able portion of early planted corn is suffi
ciently ripened to bo cut and shocked. Late
corn Is doing remarkably well , except in
sections where the rainfall has been In
sufficient. The high temperature has
"fired" the blades to eomo extent in dry
and sandy lands. On the whole corn bids
fair to make a full average crop. Pas
tures are very good for August. The apple
crop will be much > * below tha average. Re

Horticultural society Indicate but 'little
