MAKES CANDIDATES' SUFFERING SHORT No Rash Mas Keen Noted to Secure Honor of a, Place on the Official Ballot Inder Democrat Label. by Judge Maey, r his case wes said to bs an extremely aggravated one. He was brought to this city yesterday afternoon by Deputy Sheriff Long and placed In the county Jail over night. Sheriff Cousins will take him to Mt. Pleasant this morning. The democratic convention to place in nomination a county ticket, It was stated yisterday by leading members of the party, will not be called before September 13. This is taken to Indicate that the Potta wattamie dimocrats have no hope of elect ing any of their nominees this fall, and for that reason desire to make the cam paign as short as possible. Little Interest has developed up to date in the naming of the county ticket and tut few names have been mentioned as probable candidates for the several offices to be voted on In November. . The nominations for county treasurer and sheriff nre most talked about at present, although the rank and file appear to dis play little Interest as to where the nom- InutU ns . will land. For treasurer Louis Zurmuehlen, Jr., who was defeated last year for clerk of the district court. Is said to be willing to accept this nomination, while Pat Gunnoude Is reported as not likely to decline the nomination If offered him. There has been some talk of the nomination being offered to Hon. Thomas Bowman, former congressman from the Ninth district and former postmaster of this city, but his friends say he Is not looking for further political preferment and would nqt accept the nomination If offered him. Mack Goodwin, chairman of the demo cratic county central committee, Is an avowed candidate for the nomination for sheriff and it Is the general opinion that he can have it without opposition If he Is anxious to make the race. Goodwin was at one time a deputy under Sheriff James O'Nell, who la also talked of In connection with the nomination this year. Al Lenocker Is said to be tho candidate for the nomina tion for sheriff from the east end of the county. He Is from Oakland and Is very popular among the members of his party In his section of the county. Alderman Charles Huber, who was de feated two years ago by Captain L. B. Cousins, was -understood to be a candidate again this year, but his friends say that he will not enter the race, although Anna Eva Fay, the mysterious mind reader, as sured him during one of her seances in the New theater here that he would be the next sheriff. Dr. F. T. Seybert Is reported to be In the field for the nomination for coroner and friends of Dr.' J. C. Waterman are also urging his name for this nomination. It Is generally understood that the party will name Hon. M. F. Rohrer for state sen ator to make the race against Colonel C. G. Saunders, and It It believed that Mr. Rohrer will accept tfie nomination. For the other offices on the ticket, no names have been mentioned aa yet. Off for State Convention. Pasaenfter Is Insane.

Soner, a passenger bound for San Francisco, was taken from a Mil waukee train at the Transfer depot yes terday afternoon as his actions Indicated that he was mentally deranged, lie was taken before the commissioners on Insanity who committed him to St. Bernard's hos pital. Soner, who appears to be a laboring man, Is on his way from Dublin, Ireland, to Ban Francisco, where he says he hss two sis ters. While waiting for a train In Pitta burg, Pa., Soner says he made the ac quaintance of two strangers who robbed him of his baggage and all his money. When he arrived here yesterday afternoon he was penniless but still retained his through ticket to San Francisco.

DEMOCRATS OUT IN FORCE Dcubt.'ul Wh'oh Element Wiil Control the Iowa Contention! OLD-TIMERS WSH TO IGNORE SILVER Friends of Bryan Insist They Hare the Votes to Control the Con vention and Will Endorse Kansas City Platform. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES. June !3.-(3peclal.) All the preliminaries for the democratlo state convention have been arranged and the great majority of the delegates are on hand. There is a larger number of promi nent men presont tonight, Just before the convention, than for many years, indicating a large attendance and great Interest in ths proceedings. Most of the democrats are hopeful of a harmonious convention ana one that will leave the party in shape for a fight this year in tne siaie. int wibcbi counselors of the party are here and are hard at work. The convention meets at 10:30 tomorrow, the caucuses having been previously held and committees named. J. Herbert Quick of Sioux City Is to be temporary chairman and he will deliver a brief and pointed address. The caucuses will determine ov.'y what will be the com plexion of the committees. It matters very little what the resolutions committee does, for there is sure to be two reports and an open fight in the convention. There are two plans being considered, as follows: The organisers want practically last year's state platform, silent on the coinage question, strong on tariff and trusts, and are willing that Judge Van Wagenen of Sioux City shall be the nominee for gov ernor. But above all else they want all reference to the Kansas City platform left out. The reafflrmatlonlsts desire an unequiv ocal declaration of reaffirmation of the Kansas City platform, with some well known silver man as candidate. They will not accept Van Wagenen unless he agrees to run on a silver platform end leave out his plan for a campaign In favor of gov ernment ownership of railroads. Ths movement for the nomination of Jerry Sullivan of Creston, a pronounced free silver man, Is strong tonight. The plan of a large number of delegates Is to adopt the plank which Sullivan wrote at Creston and name him for governor. This plank is: We have implicit confidence in the high character and ability of democratic states men, and can trust them to settle details of legislation concerning the financial and all other questions, and while we do not pledge tne democracy or i nion county j2orrsXa.al Buirtluu This sketch was made by Mary Rocha, aired t, Lincoln School, Omaha, Neb We give a cash prise of 00 for any drawing of this character which we accept and use.

Good Crops In Page and Fremont. SHENANDOAH, Ia., June 23. (Special.) Crop conditions In Page and Fremont counties have materially improved during the last, ten days. The corn that was washed out Is all replanted and the lands that were overflowed are nearly all In corn or will be seeded to millet or cane. Some of the farmers are going over their corn the second time and in those fields It Is looking fine and Is knee high. A careful estimate of the total loss In Page and Fre mont counties, outside of the Missouri bot toms, places the corn loss at less than 15 per cent, not more than 12 In acreage, and If the fall should be a late one much of the very late corn will mature and the crop will be above the average.

If the free silver men can control, this plank will be pushea. Sullivan de clares he Is not a candidate and that he Is for Judge Van Wsgenen, but his friends declare he will accept. Control' in Doubt. As to who will control, that Is yet a problem. George F. Rlnehart. Walt Butler, J. B. Romans. N, C. Roberts, 8. H. Lauder. George Hoffman and many other of the I free silverites assert that they have the j strength to win in the convention and that they will force the convention to reaffirm ' or go directly against It. The gold men, or reorganlzers, on the other hand, are here In stronger force than ever before. They have many of the old-time democrats with them, such as J. J. Richardson. Thomas Bowman, William Theophllus. W. W. Bald win. T. J. Phillips, Thomas Lambert. C. D. Fullen. Gil Johnson. A. N. Alberson, James Parsons and L. L. Springer. A strong man in the gold crowd is Congressman Martin J. Wade of Iowa City, the only man the democrats have been able to elect for years. He is opposed to any reference to the Kan sas City platform, and his district Is unani mous for gold. Ex-Governor Boles will not attend, nor will General James B. Weaver. The proposed plank favorable to govern ment ownership of railroads is not attract ing great attention. Delegates from the northwestern part of the state are here with their plank In favor of government ownership, which is desired by Judge Van Wagenen, and which be would make the chief plank of the campaign. Nearly all of the silverites oppose the plank, and the gold men are not anxious to have It In the platform. It has been given out that Judge Van Wagenen would not accept the nom ination unless this plank is adopted, but it Is hinted that he would accept even with out this and go on the stump and make it the Issue without regard to the party platform. Another plank that Is sure to go into the platform is one that refers to the tariff matter, with an introduction Indicating that the democrats desire to get on the platform of the Iowa republicans of last year. This was In the platform last year, but there Is a desire to make It stronger this year, snd thus become an embarrass ment to the republicans In their state con vention. What Leaders Say. Some of the veteran leaders of the party, representing both factions of the party, are quoted this evening as follows: Judge Martin J. Wade My position Is well understood. I favor a platform sub stantially like the one of last year. The Second district Is unanimous this year In Its opposition to a free silver declaration. And I believe we will win. I find very little sentiment for government ownership of railroads hero. Ex-Congressman Walt Butler I do not accept the conclusion that the Kansas City platform Is beaten. I have figured on totals only and not by districts, and I be lieve that while we have made some losses and some gains, ws will be able to control the convention. It matters little what the resolutions committee does; the convention will have to settle the matter. I may know more by evening, but It looks favor able now. Ex-Senator Gil Johnson I don't know anything about candidates. We want the platform right, and If we get It right, we don't care a who the candidate for governor la. But we are going to have the right kind of a platform. Cash Likes We are going to have a rousing convention, and It will leave the party In better shape than ever for a good fight. It la going to be a harmony gath ering, and don't you forget It. George F. Rlnehart I'nless the resolu tions committee reports a plan reaffirming the Kansas City platform there will be a minority report and It will be fought out on the floor like It was last year; there will be no compromise of any kind. There have been gains and losses, but at the present time It looks like we will win. J. J. Richards We sre here for a plat form on which all democrats can stand and make a winning fght. Chairman Jackson There will be no re affirmation of the Kansas City platform. The convention will nominate candidates Mm.
