Martens Una More Trouble. H. H. Martens, landlord of the Martens hotel on South Main street, formerly known aa the Creston house, has more grief on his hands in connection with the saloon attached to the hotel. Only a few days ago he was fined $200 and costs and ordered to pay County Attorney Klllpack nn at torney fee of $25 for Violating the provisions of the mulct law, and yesterday his stock of -liquors was seised by deputy gherlffs under a search warrant sworn out by Max Mohn, former owner of the Creston house. When Mohn went before Justice Oureh to secure- the search warrant Mr. Ouren refused to issue It, as Mohn had made no secret about the fact that he wanted it merely to "get even" with Martens for an alleged injury done him by the latter. Mohn, who lost the Creston house property through foreclosure, charged Martens with being responsible for .-the tenant he had for a saloon adjoining the Murtens hotel giving up tho place. Mohn, when Justice Ouren refused to Issue the search warrant under the cir cumstances, went to County Attorney Kill pack' who at once prepared one and had It executed by the sheriff's force. The stock seised was placed In Justice Ouren's office pending a heating for Its disposition. Roysl Area a ant Jdmr Balld. Being fuced with the necessity of secur ing new quarters, the members of Fidelity council. Royal Arcanum, have decided to organize a building association and articles of Incorporation are now being drawn up and will be filed In a few days. At the meeting of the council Monday evening stock subscriptions amounting to $5,000 were received. The object of the organisation of a build ing association is to either build or pur chase a suitable building as a home for the lodge. Fidelity council has for nearly twenty years occupied the hall on the third floor of the Beno-Shugart block, between Main and Pearl streets, but a Arm which occupies the lower floors of the building has leased the third floor as well and Fi delity council has consequently to seek an other meeting place. , The sentiment of the members seems to be In favor of erecting a new building rather than to purchase one which would require extensive alterations.

The prohibition party campaign managers In Iowa have decided that they will take no chances on Irregularity In the matter of the nomination of their congressional tickets. Some time ngo the fact became known that a contest would be mode to not allow the names of their congressional candidates to go on the ticket because the nominations were not made in the manner contemplated by law. This fact was pub lished and It alarmed the prohibitionists. They had held a state convention at Boone ami nominated a state ticket and at the same time the delegates to the stute con vention without any separate conventions being called, met In district caucuses and nominated the candidates for congress. It was found that nominations made in this way would not likely get on the official ballots if a contest should be made. The question hud never been raised before the State Elections Board, but members had expressed themselves as confident this was Irregular. Now the prohibition state com mittee has decided on holding separate con ventions in the several districts and they will go through the. form of having the nominees nominated again. TIiIb will dis pose of all contests. Hones of the Populists. The populist state convention Is to be held In this city on Thursday, and all that the men In charge of the party hope fo do is to maintain an organization in the hope that conditions will change und make It possible for the party to gain some strength ag.iln. Those who are remaining with the organization are In fact the old flat money people. Leonard Brown of this city, one of those who participated in the populist conference held a week ago, said: "Wo can hardly hope to do anything this year other than to keep up an organization. The populist party will not come to the front again until the financial question be comes acute. Then It will become an Im portant fuctor. The time will cony? again, it.PL 0 M era Li uosuoys Aug Sixty Day Tickets Fifteen Day Tickets Every one should visit this, the greatest Exposition the world has ever known.
