Thoro will bo no contest over the se

vention, an amicable agreement having
been entered Into between the Cummins

yoto for Jolin llerrlott for governor, but it
' at nnyv.tlmo Cummins should need the

cure his nomination he is to have them.

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOI.NES, July 21. (Special.) The
net result of the holding of various county
conventions tho past two weeks has been
to Increase tho totals of the various can
dldatos for governor to the following fig
ures: For Cummins, Instructed, 450; unln
structcd, about 200; for Harrlraan, 141; for
Trewin, 125; for 'llerrlott, 71; for Conger,
30; choice not known, 295.
Whllo this represents tho comparative
standing of tho various candidates there
have been a number of marked changes In
the situation. The Cummins lead has not
been proportionately Increased during tho
past two or three weeks nnd ho will got
but few mora instructed delegates. Thero
arc twenty-one county conventions yet to
be held. Thero Is doubt as to tho out
come In but few of them.
The counties In which there aro con
tests nre: Pottawattamie, Iowa, Floyd, Fay
ette, Harrison and possibly Crawford. In
somo of these counties there will bo di
vided delegations. It is understood hero
that tho Cummins people have secured a
divided delegation in Potttawattamle nnd
that they have the best of the deal, Har
rison has been conceded to llerrlott, but
may not go for him strongly.
Tho situation as It has developed lately
Is to the advantage of John Herrlott, the
1 Ninth district candidate. The belief Is
gaining ground that tho real contest vlli
be at the finish between Cummins and
Herrlott and that If tho Ninth district
stands solid for Herrlott ho will be In a
better position to command tho united
oposltlon to Cummins than any other can
didate. Thero Is n distinct movement to
bring nbout a concentration on Herrlott
and mako him the nominee.
Conner Probably Out of It.
Tho latest Interview of Mnjor Conger
Is regarded by many as making It Impossl
blc that ho should be nominated. He has
Indicated to his friends that ho would not
accept unless ho got t.Ni nomlnntlon unani
mously, which Is now out of tho question,
and thcreforo It Is useless to try to get him
on the ticket. Tho Fourth district, which Is
tho homo of Senator Trewin, has been badly
broken into, which greatly weakens his can
didacy.
Moro consideration Is being given to other
places on the ticket nnd one result of tho
action of the Stnto Bar association In pass
ing fnvornbly upon a report to tho effect
that supreme Judges should live at the
stato capital during their term of office has
beon to rcvlvo tho boom for Judge Bishop
of this city for member of tho supremo
court. He Is the only candldato who lives
at the state capital and tho retiring mem
ber of tho court Is tho only one who lives
here.

Little ThliiK tlmt Cnme Ncnr Causing
the I. hum of Strnumhln,
Tho strangest story I ever heard of the
eea, says a writer In the Record-Herald,
relates to a copper rivet which was acci
dentally left In tho bilge on tho bottom of
a ship by the builders, between two ribs,
where It rolled back and forth with the mo
tion of tho vessel until It hnd worn a hole
through the plates.
This remarknblo event took place off tho
coast of Peru. Some yenrs ngo a vessel
loaded with guano worth several thousand
dollars caught fire In tho South Pacific nnd
was abandoned by tho captain and crew,
who came ashore In tho small boats and
reported tho disaster. "Jack" Eywof the
firm of W. R. Grace & Co,, Now York, to
whom tho guano was consigned, Is a daring
fellow, and determined to save that cargo
if possible,. Ho knew that guano would not
burn, and It was his Idea that the hulk of
the ship might be found floating somewhere
at sea and the valuablo cargo recovered.
He therefore chartered a small English
tramp that happened to be at Callao and
started out to search tor tho derelict.
After cruising for two or three weeks he
found It, Just as ho had expected, tho wood
work burned to tho water's edge, but the
bull sound as a dollar and the cargo all
right. They towed It Into Catlao, but tho
day before reaching that harbor the tramp
they had chartered began to fill very rap
idly, and the pumps could scarcely keep It
afloat. They narrowly escaped sinking with
all on board. The leak was a mystery.
They had met with no accident and there
was no reason to suspect anything wrong
with the plates, for tho ship had been In
the dry dock shortly before It left Liver
pool and was rated Al, being only between
two and three years old. They managed to
get It to Callao only by the greatest ex
ertion, and many a time they feared they
could not keep It afloat so long,
When the ship went Into the dock and
was examined It was found that one of
the. plates about the center had worn
through. Further Investigation demon
strated that the damage had been done by
little copper rivet which bad been ac
cidentally left In the bottom and had rolled
back nnd forth over the same spot so
often and so long that the Iron plato had
been worn thin and the pressure of tho
water bad broken through. The mischievous
rivet was there nnd wns taken out and
preserved as a curiosity.
Shipbuilders tell me that this Is not an
uncommon thing. It Is always customary
as a precaution to make a thorough search
of the bottom of a new ship for rivets nnd
copper filings nnd other loose metal, Copper
filings are especially dangerous, because
under certain conditions they are apt to set
up a llttlo galvanic battery and do nn Im
mense amount of damage.
FINDS HIS BODY DANGLING
Farmer' Wife enr Clianntnn Discov
ers What Ileenme tif Mnn Who
Feared Ills Relatives.
GRAND ISLAND, Neb., July 21. (Spe
cial.) Mr3 Jerome, wife of a farmer resid
ing three and three-quarter miles west of
Chapman, made a gruesome discovery
whllo In tho grovo across the road pick
up wood. There was a most offensive odor
In Iho grovo and on looking nbout sho dis
covered the body of a mnn hanging to a
tree. She immediately notified tho men In
the neighborhood, who investigated and
notified tho officials of Merrick county.
Tho man's shoes wore found beside
the tree upon which ho hanged himself.
Tho clothes arc those of a man who was
slightly known at Chapman and who was
Inst seen there on the tenth of July. It
Is supposed he went from Chapman to this
placo aud hanged himself on tho night of
the 11th.
On Juno 22 the man Mopped with a farm
er about two miles from where he hanged
himself and there hinted that he wns going
to end his life, but the farmer believed
he had talked the man out of the notion.
His namo was Drummer. He was a Ger
man nnd a farmer, having formerly owned
a farm In this vicinity. He sold out about
eight years ago and went east.
The coroner of Merrick county held an
investigation and the man wns Identified
as Drummer by about ten different persons.
He bought the rope with which he hanged
himself about ten days ago at Chapman
and It Is supposed that he committed the
act thnt night. The body wns horribly de
composed. Tho coyotes had carried off his
feet and hands and torn the flesh from tho
limbs.
Tim only reason known for the man's
act Is trouble in his family. He claimed
thnt his daughter-in-law had tried to pot
son him. When ho first reappeared In
Merrick county he had n very soro mouth
and claimed that this wns tho result of
his rclntlvo's effort, sho living In Chicago
Tho verdict of the Jury was that tho de
ceased found death by hanging by his own
hand.

Itleh Vcnesnelnn Tires Ont Detectives
Who flhndowed lllm.
There Is ono man In New York who has
found It a difficult matter to bring a trunk
full of gold Into tho country. He Is Angel
Fernandez of Venezuela, who camo to
America on the Philadelphia ship La
Ouayra on May 27.
When the custom houso officials opened
his trunk to Inspect It they were surprised
to find thrco bags of Spanish, French nnd
American gold coin. They examined his
clothing and found ho had $10,000 In a belt.
Sowed Into his pockets were $5,000, making
in all $40,000.
Tho suspicions of tho .Inspectors wero
aroused, but a friend met him on tho pier
and vouched for him. This friend was a
deputy of General Joso Manuel E. Hernan
dez, tho revolutionary Venezuelan now In
Jail In that country. Ho w'as allowed to
proceed to New YorR.
At the same time the Venezuelan consul
In New York, General E. Gonzales Esteves,
received word to watch for a man who had
gono to New York to buy arms for a now
revolution. Fernandez wns the only one
who could bo found. Ho wns shadowed con
stnntly. Ho went to live with Abraham Ur
getto at No. 137 West Sixty-seventh street,
who happened to be a friend of General
Hernandez. This still moro strengthened
the belief that he was tho man who In
tended to, buy arms.
Fernandez heard that he was being shad
owed. The Idea tickled him and he set
out two weeks ago to tire the detectives.
Ho Is tall and muscular nnd a professional
walker. Ho got up early every morning, so
his friend Urgctto says, and took a stroll
afoot up through Mount Vernon, over to
Yonkcrs nnd homo by wny of tho river
bnnk. Now and then he would turn to sec
the sweating detectives following behind.
In this wny ho wore out ono dotectlvo a
day and It was Just excrclso for him.
He found a new man shadowing htm
every morning. At Inst tho detectives fol
lowed him on bicycles. When ho saw this
he would cut across a field and the sleuth
would have to go around.
Last Wednesday he scared tho Venezue
lan authorities by announcing that he was
going to Curacao, In tho West Indies. This
is a hotbed of rebels. A detective took
passage and sailed on the Prlnco Maurltz.
An hour after the vessel had gone tho Joker
took a train for Boston.
"Ho Is up thero now," said Mr. Urgetto
to a New York Sun man. "Ho Is not a
rebel, but a patriotic citizen, who Is look
ing for a chanco to Invest his money In
America."
