Contract to Be let-Tseae

(From a Staff Correspondent)
DES MOINES, June . (Special) The
republicans of Des Moines and Iowa have
taken kindly to all that was done by the
republican national convention at Chicago
last week, and almost without a dissenting
voice thev are declaring that the ticket
and platform are satisfactory. It Is very
probsble that at an early date there will
be a meeting arranged here when the party
leaders will be asked to address the voters
in regard to the issues which will be up
this year. It may be held about the time
of the republican stats convention In July,
when a large number of the republicans
of the state will be gathered here. Both
factions in the state appear to be well
satisfied, but the revisionists go more Into
details than the standpatters and point to
the close relationship between the national
platform and their views as expressed. It
is the expectation that all the leading re
publicans of the state will go on the stump
and do much In the way of making the
campaign interesting. Senator Allison,
owing to his age, does not Intend to do a
great amount of speaking, but the younger
leaders like Senator Dolllver, Governor
Cummins, Captain Hull. 11 , H. Hubbard,
R. O. Cousins and Secretary Shaw are ex
pected to do a vast amount of speaking
both in the state and outside. The state
campaign will not be organised until after
the July nominating convention,' when the
committee will reorganise. There Is no
probability of any change in the leadership
of the committee, as nearly all the present
members will remain. In only one district
has there been any fight made. That Is
In the Fourth, or northeastern Iowa, where
the revision committeeman, J. G. Hempel,
was made the subject of attack by the
standpatters. The fight was fought out In
Cerro Gordo -county between revisionists,
led by Thomas A. Way, and the stand
patters, led by J. K. Blythe, and the
former won, which assures that the Fourth
district member will be of the revisionist
faction.
' Jogging Vp Telephoae Men.
Secretary Davidson of the state execu
tive council Is making out to the managers
or owners of telephone companies that
have as yet failed to make reports, a last
notice In which he declares that unless re
ports are received within three days they
will be placed on a list recommended for
fines, and that the state authorities have
a right to fine these delinquent telephone
owners 1100 a day for each day they fail
to make reports. The state has had a great
deal of trouble securing reports from many
of the fanner linesj and the law requires
that all shall be reported and be assessed.
A good many of them have gone on ths
theory that where the lines are not oper.
ated for profit they do not need to make
the assessment returns. . . ' ' -
. Saved by Raral Telephone.
A remakable case is reported from Mont
gomery county of the good use of a rural
telephone line In stopping a runaway mule
and saving the life of a baby. William
Mouser had hitched a mule to a buggy
and the family was getting ready to go
to church. A 14-year-old daughter went
out to the buggy with an 8-months-old
baby and placed him In the buggy, ex
pecting to step In and hold the child while
waiting for the father and mother to come.
The mule ran away with only tha baby
in ) the buggy. Mrs. Mouser telephoned
down the road and about a mile away a
woman rushed out into the road and
stopped the runaway mule. The baby had
dropped down into the buggy but was
unharmed. , ' '
Retirement of Old Engineer.
It is announed that Engineer G. J. Zer
wekh, of the Rock Island road, has re
tired after nearly forty years of - service
with that company. He was responsible
for the head-end collision at Marne some
time ago, when two engines got' together,
but no person was Injured. Both crews
jumped and saved themselves. He promptly
telegraphed his superior and acknowledged
that ho had forgotten his orders, and he
immediately quit the road. He had been
one of the oldest engineers on the road
and most trusted. He went to Btuart in
1870, when1 the Rock Island shops were
established there, and then removed to
Valley Junction when that town was built

The largest steamship In the world Is to
be constructed for the Hamburg-American
line. This new leviathan of the Atlantic
la to have a gross tonnage or cargo dis
placement of 84,93) tons, a length of 710
feet width 76 feet and depth 64 feet The
Great Eastern, the leviathan of 1859, had
a tonnage of 18,915, a length of 691 feet
width of 83 feet and a depth of 48 feet
The Great Eastern was a failure not be
cause It was too large, but because Its
construction was faulty.
8lnce the Great Eastern was broken up.
In 1888, several vessels as large or larger
have been constructed and are now In
service. The Deutschland of the Hamburg
American line, constructed for speed as
well as carrying capacity, has a gross
tonnage of 18.000, and Is 68 feet long, 67
feet wide and 44 feet deep. The Kaiser
Wllhelm II of the North German Lloyd,
with a tonnage of 19,500, has a length of 707
feet a width of 72 feet and a depth of 57
feet '
The Oceanlo of the White Star line Is 704
feet long and has a tonnage of 17.274; the
Celtic has a tonnage of 20,904 and Is 700
feet long; the Cedrto Is 700 feet long, with
a carrying capacity of 21,000 tons, and the
Baltic, with a cargo displacement of 24.000
tons. Is 725 feet long. The Coltlo, Cedric,
Baltlo and Kaiser Wllhelm all are larger
than was the Great Eastern, and the
Oceanlo has a larger structure.
AH of these are exceeded In sise and car
rying capacity by the new cargo steam
ships Minnesota and Dakota, Constructed
for the Paclflo trade by the Great North
ern Railway company. Each of these Is to
have a cargo displacement of 28,000 tons,
and they were planned to be the largest
cargo steamships afloat Now It Is pro
posed to float a steamship heavier by 6,000
tons, and of greater length, width and
depth than any ship now afloat except the
Baltic
There has been increase In sise of vessels
In all the great steamship lines. The Phil
adelphia and New Tork of the American
line have tonnage of 10,787; the St. Louis
and St. Paul a tonnage of 11,69. The Cam
pania and Lucanla of the Cunard line have
a tonnage of 12,950; the Saxonla a tonnage
of 14,281. La Touralne of the French line
has a tonnage of 9,778, and La Savole a
displacement of 15,000 tons. The Kaiser
Wllhelm der Groese of the North German
Lloyd line has a displacement of 14,349 tons,
and the Kaiser Wllhelm II a displacement
of 19.500 tons.
Meantime war vessels have Increased tn
sise as rapidly as cargo and passenger
steamships. The battleship Texas has dis
placement of 6,315 tons, the Oregon 10,283
tons, the new Maine 12.500 tons. Tho Idaho,
under construction, will have a displace
ment of 13,000 tons, the Rhode Island 14,000,
the Nebraska 15,000, the Kansas 16,000.
i The New Tork, our first armored cruiser,
has a displacement of 8,200 tons, and the
armored cruisers under construction a dis
placement of 14,500 tons. There has been
relatively as great Increase In size of cargo
steamers on the lakes.
The Great Eastern was at once a warn
ing and an example. Naval architects
learned from the experience of that vessel
what to avoid and what to develop. The
result is larger vessels of greater speed,
and there Is no reason to believe that ths
new Europa of nearly 35,000, tons will not
be as serviceable as ,the Baltlo of 24,000 tons.

RED NECKTIE FATAL TO CAT
"Frosty" Gepp of Jersey . City feats
One and Closes His Earthly
Career.
Red neckties are fatal to cats. No more
throwing of shoes.: jcoal, hair brushes or
other articles at toms and tabbies who
give al fresco concerts on back fences after
midnight Simply fasten a string of red
neckties on the fence and sleep In peace.
The red necktie cure for disorderly cats
was discovered by Edward Gepp, an ice
man,' who' lives at 237 Warren avenue, Jer
sey City. Preparatory to attending a pic
nic Gepp donned .his new gray suit and
then looked about for a brilliant red neck
tie which he had bought expressly as a
daxsler for the occasion. The necktie could
not be found and Gepp said things that we
wouldn't say at a prayer meeting. . A
plaintive "Meow!" from Frosty, the offi
cial mice hunter In the Gepp family, at
tracted Gepp's attention. Frosty was un
der the bed. In answer to tha Iceman's
kindly remark. "What's the matter, old
boyT Have you ' got a painT" the cat
crawled from under the bed, uttered an
other "Meow I" and looked appeallngly at
his master. There was a red colored froth
on Frosty's lips and gray whiskers.
'After gazing at' ths cat for a moment
Gepp ejaculated: "Well, I'll be blessed!"
Grabbing his new straw hat Gepp took
the cat in his arms and ran half a block
to the headquarters of the Society for (the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, To ths
desk sergeant Gepp said:
"Frosty's eaten my new red necktie. It's
loud enough to choks a horse, let alone this
old cat Please take It away from him or
he'll die sure." The society's veterinarian
waa summoned; ether was administered to
Frosty and ha was cut open. The necktie,
greatly dimmed by the process of mastica
tion, was removed and the stomach sewed
up.
"The operation Is a great success," sol
emnly declared the veterinarian. Frosty
failed to respond to the efforts to revive
him, however, and when the Iceman said:
"What are you glvin us? . Th' old cat's
dead," the veterinarian put a steethoscope
to Frosty's side, listened a moment and
then said: "You're right; heart failure;
too much red necktie."
Gepp walked sadly home and told the
members of his family to be sure and keep
his other red neckties where Frosty's suc
cessor wouldn't be able to get at them.

INDIANAPOLIS, InO, June ?S.-Tbe na
tional prohibition convention will meet In
Tomllnson hall, ' Indianapolis, Tuesday.
State Chairman Mswlln, who has had
charge of the arrangements, says It will
be the most enthusiastic national gathering
the party has ever had. There will be a
conference of state chairmen and secre
taries In the afternoon at ths Claypool
hotel and tn the evening the Intercollegiate
oratorical contest will take place, with six
competitors. The national committee will
meet at the Claypool hotel.
The convention committee will meet at
the hotel Wednesday at ( and the first ses
sion of the convention proper will open at
10, with National Chairman Oliver W.
Stewart of Chicago presiding. The tem
porary and permanent chairmen will not
be selected until Tuesday evening.
The nominations for president and vice
president will not be made until Thursday
afternoon. It Is still an open question
whether General Nelson A. Miles will ac
cept the nomination. He hae -left for an
unknown summer resort without leaving
any definite statement behind. Othfr names
mentioned for the presidential nomination
are Alfred L. Manlerre, New Tork; Prof.
A. A. Hopkins, Hornellsville, N. T.; Dr.
Silas C. Swallow, Harrisburg, Pa.; A. G.
Wolfenbarger, Lincoln, Neb.; Dr. E. L.

James A. Fate, Harriman, Tenn.
Some Want Postponement.
There is a ' faction of powerful temper
ance advocates who believe that General
Miles should be nominated by the conven
tion, other favor the postponement of the
convention until after that of the demo
crats, so that the platform and the can
didates nominated In St. Louis can be In
spected before the prohibitionists get to
work. In addition there will probably be
a strong coterie of western temperance
people, who are smarting over the removal
of the national convention from Kansas
City to Indianapolis, and may seek to ex
press their disapproval on the convention
floor.
Dissatisfaction of any or all of these
factions may crystallize into opposition to
National Chairman Oliver . W. Stewart, of
Chicago, who leads the contingent among
the prohibitionists who believe that they
are a political party, not simply a temper
ance organization, and therefore should
act Independently of all other political or

local Industrial agnt said: ,
"Almost everyone aboard the burned boat
had a policy In one of the industrial com
panies It Is estimated that the Metro
politan Life will be called upon to pay
about 200 policies which were being carried
by persons who lost their lives on the
ship. The claims are being pnld as rapidly
as the bodies are Identified and the claim
ant appears. Last Monday morning 126
claims had been adjusted by the Metro
politan .and 115 by the Prudential, amount
ing to flS,400, and fifty by the John Han
cock, amonntlng to about 810,000. While
there are a large number of Industrial poli
cies carried In this part of the country, it
would appear from the statistics given that
the business has reached a larger percent
age of persons In the great eastern cities
than. It has so far In the weet. However,
there are some very acttve acents in the
field in Omaha and surrounding cities, and
an enormous business Is being written
annually."
