WADSWORTIl WILLING TO TRY

HIS LITTLE BOOM LAUNCHED YESTERDAY
llnndfiil of Old-Tlincrs Haiti a con

TbliiK In Three Essen
tial Itesiicct.
The boom of City Solicitor S. B. Wads-
worth for congress from tho Ninth district
wag launched at tho democratic county con
vention held In this city yesterday. It was
known that Mr. Wadsworth was willing to
mako tho race against Judgo Walter I.
Smith, tho rcpubllcun nominee, but his can
didacy had not bcon beforo officially an
nounced. Tho boom was launched by Illley
Clark of Neola, ono of tho delegates, who
moved that the delegation to tho congres
sional convention be Instructed to uso all
honorable means to secure tho nomination
for Pottawattamlo county's candidate, S. 11.
Wadsworth. It developed, however, that
some other Pottawattamlo domocrat might
have aspirations that way and Clark's mo
tion only carried nfter Nick O'Urlcn had,
tacked on to It an amendment ns follows:
"If there bo no other candidates from Pot
tawattamlo county." If there Is any other
aspirant among the locnl democracy for
congressional honors, ho la at present
keeping well under cover.
Other features of yesterday s democratic
convention wero the extrcmo heat, tho lack
of any Interest In tho proceedings, tho very
mengor attendance about half of tuo town
ships and precincts not being represented
tho falluro to adopt tho usual string of res
olutions and tho nbBcnco of any speechos.
Taken In all tho convention was quite a
record breaker In tho history of tho demo
cratic party In Pottawattamlo county.
Couldn't ltulse a (luoriun.
Tho convention was called for tho purpose
of selecting three sets of delegates to attend
tho state convention, to ho hold at Cedar
Kaplds tomorrow, the Judicial convention of
tho Fifteenth district, the congressional of
tho Ninth district, neither of the last two
having yet been called. Tho call Issued by
County Chairman Zurmucblen announced
that tho convention would be called to order
at 10 o'clock, but when that hour ar
rived thero was barely a corporal's guard
of tho faithful gathered In the superior
court room at tho county court houso and It
was decided to postpone proceedings until
1:30 in the afternoon, when It was hoped
somo of tho noon trains, might bring in
enough delegates to hold tho convention.
At 1:30 o'clock thoro wero thirty-two del
egates and after waiting half an hour Chair
man Zurmuehlon called tho gathering to
gether and named Ilov. J. R. Speck of Coun
cil Bluffs as temporary chairman and John
F. Huntington of Avoca as temporary sec
retary. Kov. Speck, who came Into prora
Incnco two years ago as a candidate for
stnto representative, bad barely time to
assume the gnvel before a motion making
tho temporary organization permanent
was put nnd carried. Secretary Huntington
asked for assistance and George S. Davis
of this city was made assistant secretary.
Then the proceedings opened. N. O'Drlen
moved that a commtttoo of three be ap
pointed to select the delegates to tho three
conventions. His motion was seconded by
J. K. Cooper, member of the Board of Edu
cation. WillliiK to I.rt All Stay.
This did not meet tho wlshes'of Herman
Schurz, who thought such action u trifle
prematura and he moved an amendment
to tho effect that a. commlttco on credentials
bo uppolntcd. A look around tho almost
empty hall satisfied thn majority of tho
delegates present that such a committee
would bo almost superfluous and Schurz was
induced to walvo bis demand for the ap
pointment of a commltteo on credentials.
Then Schurz, who throughout the convention
did most of tho talking, suggested that a
roll call by precincts bo had and the dele
gates present bo authorized to cast tho full
vote of their respective precincts. J, P.
Organ and N. O'Brien also made similar
motions In such rapid succession that tho
chairman got tangled up and this und the
thormometer at over 100 In the shade caused
him to loso his temper and ho said if there
was any raoro disputing ovor tho manner
(n which ho. stated tho motions ho would in
sist that they bo placed beforo him In
writing.
Tho motions, however, continued to como
until tho reverend chairman said: "We are
getting so many resolutions that wo will
scon bo llko the senator from tho south
wo will not know where wo are at."
This reBtorod the harmony and the roll
call by precincts procoedod with each pre
cinct as It wn3 called naming a member of
tho committee to select the three sets of
delogatcs. The roll coll showed that nine.
teen out of the forty precincts wero not
represented Jn tho convention.
The commltteo thon rotired to formulate
Its report. During Us absonco E. P, Searle,

aay uy extending an nvltatlon to h

In his efforts by Herman Schurz, Tno
suggestion mot with considerable opposition
from tho country delegates, who called at

Tho Bryan-Stevenson Democratic club

were mado by John Hazen of Avocn, John
P. Organ and Itev. Speck of this city nnd
City Attorney Wadsworth. candidate for
tho democratic nomination (or congress.
Attorney Wadsworth's address was do
voted mainly to attacking the admtnlstrn
Hon of President McKlnlcy, whom he held
responsible for the wars In Cuba, the Phil
ippines nnd China. He mado an appeal
for the negro vote by declaring that It was
tho colored soldiers and not Uooscvelt that
carried tho day at San Juan, Ho said:
"Why, wo nro now asking the colored vot
ers of Japan to help us out In our troubles
In China."
"Thdt so, Mr. Wadsworth?" yelled An
drew Neeley, a colored man who under
tho republican city administration wns
patrol driver.
"Yes, that is so, Andy," answered the
speaker.
This Btartcd Andy going and ho contln
ucd. "Say, Mr. Wadsworth, I would llko
to ask you one question. You know mo,
Mr. Wadsworth."
"Certainly I do," roplled tho city nttor
ncy, little expecting what was next to fob
low.
"Tell me, Mr. Wadsworth, why Is It that
they have disfranchised the negroes In the
south?"
This was n stumper for tho candidate
for congress nnd he was forced amidst
considerable laughter to admit to Neeley
that that was ono question ho could not
answer.

Police Senrcli, nt Kail to Discover
Slims of Sllasliitr "Woman.
A search made by tho pollco and others
along tho river bank near where tho bundlo
of clothing was found failed to reveal any
further traces of Mrs. Kate Thomas, tho
woman who Is supposed to havo thrown
herself and 3-year-old child Into tho river,
Footnrlnts were noticed in the Boft mud
near the river bank, but whether those of a
woman could not be discerned.
dcorge Miller, overseer of tho poor, was
called upon by Mrs. Thomas the same day
that she applied for assistance at tho po
llco station. She asked the overBccr to
furnish her with some clothing for herself
and child, stating that her husband had
taken her trunk away with him. Miller
told her ha could sot furnish her with any
clothing, but was willing to provldo her
transportation back to her home or what
ever place in Nebraska she desired to go.
This sbo refused, as she did the ovcrsccr'sl
offer for other assistance.
The unfortunate woman appeared greatly
distressed and to Miller's mind somewhat
mentally unbalanced. She particularly Im
pressed upon the overseer that she did not
ask any assistance except some clothing
for herself and child and said she bad had
plenty to eat, although sho admitted she
was without any money.

eterlnarlan, was In Des Moines today
looking after tho publication of an.nrtl
clo designed to suppress tuberculosis In
Iowa. Tho artlclo has been prepared by
order of tho Stato Board of Health, which
named o committee not long ago to do the
work. Dr. Gibson Is chairman of tho com
mittee, Dr. E. It. Connlff of Sioux City
nnd Dr. J. A. McKlvccn of Chariton tho
other members. It was doslgncd by tho
Stato Board of Health In directing tho
preparation of this artlclo to call tho at
tention of tho people of tho state to tho
serious nature of tho dlscaso known ns
tuberculosis and to tho necessity of guard
ing ngalnst tho disease In every possible
manner. The article, which will In tho
course of n few days bo given to the press
and will appear in full In tho next Issue
of tho Board of Health Bulletin, deals with
tho nature of the disease and methods of
prevention in cases of both animals and
persons.
For several years tho board has looked
uuon tho Increase in tho number of enscs
of tuberculosis In Iowa with grave nppro
bension. Long ago tho bo,ird was a unit
in believing that tuo spread of tho uls
caBo was duo largely to diseased cattle
transmitted In tho milk nnd often in
tho beef itself. Tho board has dono
everything posslblo to dlssenilnnto Intclll
genco regarding tho dlscaso nnd methods
of prevention through tho state, but has
decided to make a greater effort In this
direction thnn ever beforo. Tho artlclo by
Dr. Gibson today contains information
which will assist in apprehending tho
disease in any stage, deals with pre
ventives, BUch as the care of stables
whero cows aro kept, the proper euro nnd
inspection of milk and sets forth methods
of handling the dlscaso when It appears,

follows:
The avcrago dally excoss of temperature
during tho lust week wus 5 to 8 degrees.
Tho drouth was quite effectually broken
by refreshing showers, fairly well distrib
uted, on tho 11th. 12th and 13th, which will
bo verv benellclul to lato com and nil un
matured crops. Tho hot weather caused
somo damage to pastures, potatoes and late
corn planted on sandy or thin soil, but tho
great bulk of tho corn crop of this state,
which l.i planted on rich and well drained
lands, has been greatly benefited by the
period of ripening weutlier. Reports from
all sections indlcato that the bulk of tho
corn crop is now well advanced toward
maturity and with reasonable weather tho
early planted portion will bo safe from
harm by frost from tho 1st to tho 10th of
