Arrangements were mado yesterday
whereby plenty of ground will bo provided
today for field maneuvers and tho Fifty
first regiment will not break camp, as
threatened Saturday by Colonel J. 11. Un
coln. When permission was refused the
regiment to maneuver In tho fields on tho
Hsn Marks property east of Lake Manawa
Colonel Lincoln was much put out, as ho
believes In giving the men of his com
mand plenty of field oxcrelao and tactics
and objects to being cramped In a parade
ground. He threatened that unless he
could havo sufficient room In which to
drill his regiment he would, with the con
sent of Adjutant General Dyers, take his
command home.
Such an unpleasant termination of the
encampment was obviated yesterday. Tho
Drogc pasture, containing 100 acres and
lying a quarter of a mile cast of Camp
Dodge, was secured yesterday by thn local
committee and this Is expected to glvo
Colonel Lincoln ample room for the drill
ing of his regiment.
Tho men of tho regiment wero much
pleased when they learned that they would
j not bo called upon to break camp beforo
thn Fifty-second. Marks had been freely
criticised for refusing permission to the
I regiment to maneuver In his fields, hut
on his behalf it was stated that the tramp
ling of the soldiers did considerable dam
ago to growing hay and other crops.
Marks has conslderabln of his land rented
to tenants and ho asserts that they com
plained of tho damaga dono hy tho sol
diers. Ktiibl.le Field Available.
Adjutant General Byers was notified last
evening by tho owner and tenant of tho
stubble field just west of the camp grounds
that It could be used by tho soldiers for
drill purposes. Permission to uso this
field had been denied Saturday through
some misunderstanding.
The divine services Sunday morning at
tho Casino, Lake Manawa. of tho Fifty
first and Fifty-second regiments wero at
tended by 1,40(1 persons, of whom 400 wero
civilians, Tho soldiers of both regiments,
headed by their bands, marched from the
camp grounds at 9 o'clock, most of tho
battalion and staff nlllcers being In line.
Adjutant General Ilyers and the staff offi
cers and tho members of their families
occupied the boxes. A pleasing feature of
tho service was the music by tho two
bands.
Chaplain K. S. Johnson of the Fifty
second regiment, being tho ranking chap
tain, spoko first. ills address was on
"Manliness." Chaplain Walburn of the
Fifty-first took as his subject, "Faith In
God and Humanity Necessary for the Ex
pression of Manliness." Tho services were
closed with tho national anthem played
by both bands, nnd the largo audience
joined In singing.

The camp was visited hv several thou
sand people yesterday, among tho visitors
being largo numbers from Omaha. Tho
day was an Ideal one. Tho hundreds of
white tents, In their setting of green fields,
with a background formed by tho bluffs,

the Fifty-first Iowa volunteers talked over

SELLS AGAINST THE FIELD
That's How thj Democratic Choice for
GoTirnor Looks Nw,
CONVENTION SCHEDULED FOR WEDNESDAY
Ten Oilier Cnndldntes Are Lined t'p
for the Cmpty Honor of n .Nom
ination (iclicrnl .evts of
Ilea Moines.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
UES MOINES, Aug. 18. (Special.) Tho
democratic state convention Is to meet In
Des Molncs Wednesday this week and will
choose a candldnte for governor from this
field:
Cato Sells, Vinton.
Horace J. Stlger. Toledo.
James B. Weaver, Colfax. i
Jerry Hartcnbowcr, Des Molncs
T. J. Phillips, Ottumwa.
L. T. Genung, Olenwood.
H. O. Brceden, Des Molnee.
J. 11. Romans, Dcnlson,
Horace BoleH, Waterloo.
V. R. McOlnnls. Leon.
W. W. Dodge, lltirllngton.
Tho popular choice at this time seems to
be Cato Sells, who Is a most aggressive
young democrat, was United States
attorney under CIcvelnnd. but who kept
himself "regular" with thn party In Its
degenerate days. He Is a candidate for the
place, although two years ago when he could
have been nominated he declined, Stlgcr li
n well known lawyer of Tama county, form
erly partner of Judgo Klnnc. who twice
made thn race for governor. Several coun
ties havo Instructed for him. Phillips has
been an active candidate nnd the delegates
from his own county nro Instructed for him.
Romans was formerly n republican, hut be
enmo a democrat on free sliver alone. Ho
wns In the state senate ns a republican
and as n democrat. Hartcnbowcr has de
clined to be n candldnte, but the Polk countv
delegation may present his name nnd Insist
that he run. Ho Is now mnor of Des
Moines. Tho name of Boles Is being consid
ercd by many democrats who hepe thus tD
reunite tho party. Brccdcn is pastor of the
Central Christian church, Des Moines, an
eloquent nnd nble man, a thorough demo
crat and a prohibitionist. A boom Is being
worked up for him on the theory thnt he
would hold tho democratic vote and get the
republican prohibition vote that Is dis
gruntled over the nomination of Cummins.
General James B. Weaver will come to tho
convention nt tho hend of tho Jasper county
delegation, for the first tlmo n delegnte to
a democratic convention, and ho Is being
considered to cntch the popullit strength
nnd also tho prohibitionists. Senator Dodgo
will be presented by the democrats of tho
First district ns their candldnte.
No consideration has at yet been given to
candidates for othor plncos on tho ticket,
but Henry Vollmer of Davenport may be
presented as tho candidate for lieutenant
governor. He Is an eloquent German, but
followed tho sound money branch of tho
party n few years. Tho county supcrln
tendnnt of Johnson county Ib seeking nom
ination for superintendent of public Instruc
tion nnd as ho Is the only person In tho
statn who has really announced himself is
desirous of going on the ticket ho will bo
necorded that pleasure. John Shortley of
Perry will be presented by Dallas county
for judgo of the supremo court.
Denioerutli: I'lnlfnrm.
Tho platform will rcamrm tho Knnsns City
platform, or refer to It In compllmcutnry
manner, but this endorsement will be In as
mild a way as posslblo so that tho cam
paign may be mado on state Issues almost
entirely. A movement wns started somo
tlmo ago to force the convention to be silent
on tho silver question, but nftcr a few of
the larger counties had given the move
ment somo standing tho rndical freo sil
ver men set nbout to secure delegations
that aro known to bo favorable to free sil
ver. They will havo full control of the con
vention, but oven among these men there Is
n disposition to mnko tho platform ns mild
and harmless as posslblo. They expect to
como out strongly In favor of taxation re
form and for Improvement of somo of the
laws relating to state printing nnd binding
which have resulted In scandals. They will
attack tho state executive council for nl
leged discriminations In assessment In favor
of certain railroad corporations. Tho plat
form will also favor a high license law In
place of tho present mulct law, which !s
grafted onto the prohibitory law.
The only other mntter of Interest in tho
convention will bo in regard to the organiza
tion of the state committee. Chairman
Huffman, who lives In Des Moines, Is now
engaged in business In Missouri, but con
tinues to live here, and tho convention In
his own county virtually demanded his res
ignation. Other conventions havo endorsed
him and a lively row may ensue on this
question.
E. M. Sharon of Davenport will bo tcra
pornry chairman nnd ho has prepared a
speech which has been edited by the stato
committee in which stnto Issues aro dis
cussed with great vigor and tho coinage'
question is left nlone.
I'opilllslN ll lid Others.
Tho convention of the middle-of-the-road
populists Is to bo held In Des Moines
Thursdny and Friday of thlB week, follow
ing the democratic convention. Jo Parker,
national chairman, Is to be present. It
is probable thnt cither L. H. Wollcr, stato
chairman; Perry Engle of Jnsper county
or Dr. Long of Osknloosa will bo nominated
for governor. The convention will bo but
lightly attended.
The call for a convention to nnmo a
candldato in opposition to Cummins Is nil
off and tho Antl-Saloon league will hold
a meeting here August 27. Whntover In
(luencn It has will bo directed to aiding
tho prohibition candidate for governor.
The district convention to nomlnato a
candidate for Judgo in tho southwestern
Iown district to nil tho vacnncy caused
by tho resignation of Judgo Tcdford will
meet In Osceola August 26. J. G. Bull of
Osceola seems to bo the leading candldato
and unless he Is nominated tho honor will
go to R. L, Pnrrlsh of Leon.
Demented Deputy Post muster.
Max Kruskopf, the defaulting deputy
postmaster of Marshalitnwn, will bo brought
to Des Moines for preliminary hearing to
morrow, ho having given himself up to
his friends at Albion. Ho had waudercd
In n demented condition for three days
and, although ho had JC0 in his pocket,
had spent but 25 cents for food. Ho was
filled with the delusion that a mob was
after him beut on hanging him and ho
tramped over the country afoot ami was
seen but u few times. In view of the fact
that his shortage was Immediately made
I good It is expected that ho will bo dealt
with leniently.
(rent Western CvtenMon.
Tho warmest kind of a contest Is on at
Wlnterset over tho proposition to vote a
j tax In aid of tho Des Molnei & Southern
I railroad. Mr. Cherry, tho promoter, has
I secured signatures to a petition from a
I majority of tho freeholders of the city
1 asking for a special election. Ho asks a
0 per cent tax in old of tho road, which
would glvo about J20.000, All the members
of the city council are opposed to the
iuvujv, uuv vuw uiajvi iutuib iw j num
ber of citizens arc opposing the plan n d
they are chiefly persons who are Interested
In the Rock Islanad railroad, Mr Cherry
has announced definitely his plans. Tho
line surveyed Is seventeen miles long, run
ning to Wlnterset from LIda, a stntlon on
the Great Western, nnd he has already en
tered Into a contract with the Great West
ern to operate tho road when built It will
be, In fact, a branch of the Great West

Iti:slSTi:il TiniPTATION.
A Mnn' Tribute (o n Sensible- Servant
In Ills Kninllj.
Tho Imagination of the novelist has sel
dom produced n story stranger than tho
sworn testimony of ex-State Senator Wal
tor B. Saylcr of Carthage, Mo.. In the wit
ease of tho late James E. Baker, n former
Chicago capitalist. Henry R. Baldwin and
Pliny B. Smith, opposing nttorneys In the
case now In tho courts of Chicago, were
In Carthago to take tho deposition of Sen-
ntnr Sayler.
Before becoming Interested In lead and
zinc mining In southwest Missouri Mr
Snyler wns a practicing nttornoy in Chicago
and represented his district In tho stnto
senate of Illinois. His evidence In the will
case was mado up mainly of what tho late
Mr. Baker had told him In conference with
him ns n lawyer.
In his will Baker directed among other
things that J7.00 be paid out of his estate
to Mrs. Catherine M. Austin In considera
tion of "faithful services rendered tho
Baker household and also for her strong
will In resisting n temptation offered thnt
would. If accepted, have ruined the life of
the donor and brought everlasting disgrace
nnd despair to his name and family."
The present Mrs. Cntherlne M. Austin
was, many yenrs ago, Klttlo O'Dow-d
housemaid In tho Baker homo. In an nrls-
tocratlc part of Chlcngo. She wns an ex
tremely pretty girl, modest nnd sensible.
At ono tlmo there nroso domestic troubles
In the Baker household. Tho husband nnd
wife wore estranged from each other. To
keep up appearances, however, they con
tinued to live In tho same home. During
thnt time of prnctlcal separation between
hushnnd and wlfo It Is said that the hus
band fell violently In lovo with the pretty
housemaid. Ho told the girl of his love,
begged her to elope with him to Dakota
where he could securo n dlvorco from bis
wife nnd marry her.
Tho housemaid, who had never known
nnythlng but poverty nnd work all her life,
remained firm and untcmptcd by tho pic
tures of lovo nnd luxury placed before her
by tho rich man. Sho declined the offered
love and money nnd pointed out tho
trouble nnd disgrace such a courso would
bring to them nil. It would mean ruin
nnd disgrace to a rich nnd powerful family
and thn blighting of tho wholo lives of his
children. Baker, It seems, soon realized
tho folly of his proposition. Afterward
there came a reconciliation botween Baker
and his wife.
In after years two suitors sought the
hand of the housemaid. Baker took it upon
himself to look up the character and stand
Ing of tho two suitors. Klttlo married the
one whom ho recommended. Baker wanted
to glvo her $10,000 as a wedding present,
but sho would not accept.
Tho girl's husband turned out badly and
sho finally got a divorce on tho ground of
cruelty and married Austin, tho former
suitor. This tlmo she ncccpted $2,500 from
Baker. At his death Baker willed $7,500
to Mrs. Austin, which, with the $2,500 given
to her before, brought tho sum up to
$10,000.
