The Iowa republican state conven
tion at Cedar Rapids was largely at
tended. The gathering was called to
order by Hon. John McMillan, chair
man of the state central committee,
who. after reading the call which
brought the convention together, in
troduced Rev. John Barclay of Cedar
‘ Rapids, who invoked divine blessing.
He thanked Uod for the evidences of
returning prosperity and prayed that
Cuba might be free. Hon. Charles M.
Harl of Council Bluffs was then intro
duced as temporary chairman and
made an address. This was followed
by adjournment until 2 p. m.
Upon the reconvening the report of
the committee on permanent organiza
tion. naming Major Samuel Mahon of
Wapello county for permanent chair
man add W. S. Kenworthy of Mahaska
county1 for secretary, was adopted.
The committee also announced that
all nominations would be made by a
call of districts and that ho nominat
ing six-echos would be. permitted.
Chairman Mahon thanked the conven
tion for tlie honor of his election and
attempted to make a speech. After
talking about four minutes the conven
tion compelled him to desist, all being,
anxious for the fray.
The convention at once proceeded to
the nomination of a candidate for gov
ernor. Seven candidates were placed
in the Held. On the fourth ballot, L.
M. Shaw of Crawfond county xyas nom
inated, receiving 752 votes. The ticket
was completed as above given.
HON. I*. M. SHAW.
Leslie M. Shaw, at Dennison, tile
nominee for governor, was born in
Vermont. He came to Iowa in 18Ub,
when he was but -1 years old. For a
time he worked on a farm and by in
dustry, perseverance and self-denial
he worked his way through Cornell
college at Mt. Vernon. Then he went
to the Iowa College of Law and gradu
ated in 1870. Immediately after he lo
cated at Dennison, where he now re
sides. He built up one of the best Jaw
practices in the state. In addition to
nis lucrative law practice he has bank
ing interests in two towns in his coun
ty. I’p to the present time he has
never been an aspirant for public of
fice- but has several times taken the
stump in the more important political
campaigns.
Chairman Harl, in his address before
referred to, aui.ong other things said:
The commanding position of Iowa
republicans imposes upon us a duty
and responsibility far higher than that
of merely selecting incumbents of the
offices to be filled at the election next
November. As trustees of the repub
lican party of Iowa, we are charged
with the duty of so conducting our de
liberations that we shall strengthen
the hands of the administration, en
courage the hope and inspire the faith
of all friends of good government and
make success a certainty. A weaken
ing in our position, faltering in onr
declarations, or lessening our majori
ties would be taken by friend and foe
alike as an indication that the people
were reconsidering the verdict of 181KS;
It would discourage the friends of
honest money and good government
and encourage to renewed assaults
those who, however honest and sin
cere, are, through the measures they
advocate, the enemies of everything in
the way of national policy to which
the republican party stands committed
and by reason of which it has been en
trusted with power. In the light of
such responsibilities this convention
has met to declare anew the principles
and nominate the candidate of the par
ty. In view of the history of Iowa re
publicanism there can be no question
but that it will faithfully discharge
the trust thus committed to its hands.
We have secured an administration
which is identically republican, and,
therefore, ideally American. A presi
dent who conducts himself with both
dignity and the freedom which ought
to characterise the chief official repre
sentative of a great and' free -people.
Through unity of action and purpose,
splendid results have been attained.
Through unity of action and purpose
alone can they be preserved. By that
means and that alone can the princi
ples of honest money and protection
alike of American labor, institutions
and citizenship be imbedded in tiie leg
islative policy of the nation. The bat
tle of 1900 will be, as to the questions,
the culmination bf the conflict between
wisdom and folly, and by courage,
steadfastness and unity, the struggle
for these great principles will be prac
tically won and the golden doors of
the twentieth century shall swing
open for our waiting feet
TBS PLATFOKB.
The report of the committee on reso
lutions was adopted without a dissent'
ing vote. The financial plank in full
is as follows:
The republican party of Iowa reaffirms nn<l
adopts In every part the declaration of prin
ciples announced by the republican nations'
convention of 18911, and It plodaes for Iowa
that the election In November next shall be
a still morn emphatic Show of strength and
justlco of republican doctrines. It again
especially declares for protection and honest
noney.
The platform declares that the re
publicans of Iowa view with the utmost
satisfaction the result of the campaign
of last year, and congratulate the
whole people upon the election of
William McKinley. It highly com
mends his wisdom and energy in di
recting the whole force of the "admin
istration toward an early and com
plete fulfillment of all the promises
made. It lauds congress for its prompt
action on the tariff, and refers with
gratification to the part taken by Iowa
senators' and representatives m this
legislation. It demands rigid economy
in all government expenditures, to the
end that the burdens of the people may
be lessened, and insists that all indi
viduals and corporations shall be so
taxed that they shall not escape a fair
and proportionate share of the support
of the government. It declares that
selfishness should be rebuked, avarice
I and the power of combination re
strained. in order that all may have
equal opportunities of advancement.
It invokes the birth and history of the
party a$ a guaranty of the pledge that it
means only to do justice. The admin
istration of Governor Drake is endorsed
and the farmers are congratulated
upon the selection of James Wilson as
secretary of agriculture.
The platform closes with the follow
ing paragraph:
“Vve believe in the justice of those
iaws heretofore enacted by the repub
lican legislatures securing to employes
of railways the right of indemnity for
personal Injuries not resulting from
negligence, and we favor such legisla
tion as may be found necessary to per
fect such right and prevent its impair
ment or nullification in letter or
spirit.1’
Four Im uattlnjt Wood.
Robert Winn, an old and eccentric
character, died at his home on Hargis
creek, this county, recently. “Uncle
Bob,” as be was familiarly called, lived
to bury two wives, and, not wishing
to slight either, on his dying bed he
asked that his remains be buried by
the side Of his faithful old dog that
had but a few days preceded him. The
request was compiled with. The death
of “Uncle Bob" recalls an Incident In
his life that is decidedly out of the
ordinary. During the opening scenes
of the civil war “Uncle Bob” was anx
ious to join the confederate army. His
wife was opposed to his doing so and
used every argument and effort within
her power to prevent it. One cold
winter morning, after "Uncle Bob” had
abandoned the idea, as Mrs. Winn sup
posed, of joining the army, she asked
“Uncle Bob" to go to the woodyard
and gather some wood with which to
rekindle the fire. “Uncle Bob" start
ed, but Instead or “gathering wood”
he walked to Mississippi and joined the
army and for four long years fought
for the cause of the confederacy. At
the close of the war he returned to the
home he had suddenly deserted. En
tering by way of the woodyard, he
gathered up an armful of wood and
entering the room he found his faith
ful wife who had continued to remain
at the old home. Walking up to the
fireplace he carelessly threw down his
armful of wood and looking into the
face of his now dumbfounded wife, he
coolly remarked: "Here’s your wood,”
after which he proceeded to make him
self at home, as of yore.—Louisville
Post.
i ' It Bund Repetition.
It was on the 5 o’clock accommoda
tion on the Boston & Maine. Be was a
green brakeman—greener than grass
at this time of the year—and it was
his first run over the road. At Somer
ville he woke old Sprettegrew out his
every afternoon nap by announcing
“Chelsea!" and a little later, wheu they
stopped at East Everett, he paralyzed
old lady Pettijohn by proclaiming
“Pride Crossing!" But the climax was
reached when the train arrived at
Lynn. When the veteran brake-twister
on the front platform threw open the
door with a bang and with a familiar
ity born of long experience rattled off:
“Lynn, Lynn! Change cars for East
Lynn, Swampscott, Phillips Beach,
Beach Bluff, Clifton, Devereaux and
Marblehead! Lynn, Lynn!” the bril
liant idiot onthe rear platfcrm poked
his head in the other door and shouted:
“Same here!"—Harper’s Drawer.
The Knife aa » Weapon.
The knife 1b a historic weapon in
France. Henry III. and Henry IV. were
killed with one; Louis XV. was
wounded by a knife in the hands of
Damiens in 1757, and it was with the
knife that the duke of Berry, an heir
presumptive to the French throne, was
murdered by Louvel in 1820. Thus in
using a knife against Carnot the anar
chist assassin followed a long line of
precedents set by regicides in France.—

An Old Court.
Northampton county, Va., has the un>
broken record of its court from 1632 to
the present time. This is believed tc
be the oldest complete court record !n
the United States. These are kept in
the attic of the old court house on court
papers bearing date before the settle
ment of Jamestown, and relating to the
plans of the London company looking
to that settlement.
Appllad Christianity.
The one great need of our times it
applied to Christianity. It is one that
goes ahead of all others, and upon it
depends the solution of three great
problems of the world, limitation and
distribution of wealth, suffrage and

Wheat Continues to Adranee.
Kansas Citt, Mo., Aug. ?3.—Wheal
| sold at SI and at $1.01 in the Kansas
City market to-day. The Chicago Sep
tember price reached $1, and dollar
wheat is now a realized dream in all
the Western markets.
The dollar price was paid here for
the soft variety. There was demaud
for all that was offered at that price.
The No. 2 Kansas hard wheat, which
makes up the bulk of Kansas City's
supply, sold at 95 cents. The receipts
were large and all classes of buyers
wanted wheat. Some fortunate buy
ers made their purchases at 94 cents,
( before the Anal advance occurred.
The excitement in the wheat market
leaped over into corn and oats lo-ilay.
Corn in Chicago advanced nearly 3
cents, September selling at 32 cents,
against 31 % cents at the close yester
day. Prices of oats advanced nearly
2 cents.
The wheat market to-day was even
more exciting than that of yesterday.
The opening in Chicago was around
UN cents for September wheat. There
was a momentary set-back to 9*i>i
cents, but the price very quickly start
ed up again, it struck 199 cents and
rebounded to 98 cents several times.
Toward the close it went above 99
cents with a rush, sold at Si once and
closed at 99,'i cents, making an ad
vance of BJj cents since the regular
close yesterday.

anybody. September wheat sold as
low as 90’i cents and as high as Si.
The December price did not keep far
behind. The trade was limited largely
to tho “high rollers." The ordinary

The exports of wheat this week were
over 5.000,000 bushels. They are ex
pected to be more than that -next
week. The movement, out of the coun
try is so largo, that no wheat is ac
cumulating anywhere in the United
States, aud it is expected that the vis

show a decrease of a million bushels.
Small traders stand no chance at all

Dun Report* That lIUHlneta I* Better
Than for Years Past.
Nkw York, Aug. 23.—R. G. Dun &
Co.'s Weekly Review says:
“Not for five years have the tele
graphic reports of {.he various cities in
all parts of the country been so en
couraging or shown so uniform im
provement as this week. The markets
are called ‘crazy’ by some, but fairly
represent the people, whose confidence
in the future is strong and increasing.
Nothing appears to check it Rumors
of injury to the crops are not suffi
ciently supported to have much in
fluence. The one temporary hindrance
is the strike of bituminous coal min
ers, which interferes little with in
dustries yet and seems likely to ter
minate within a week.
“The greatest gain has been for
agricultural sections. Corn has ad
vanced a little in price, but is moving
very largely, so that the last year's
surplus may soon be marketed, unless
the new crop turns out better than
many now expect Cotton declined an
eighth because of an estimate prom
ising the largest crop ever grown, but
the dry goods market is decidedly im

Other farm products are doing well
also. .Wheat has advanced about il^c

official estimate of yield is entirely

that the crop will be larger than that
of last year, and it is commonly as

COURTS HOTLY ATTACKED
Strike Leiden lame i Bitter Appeal t<
Union a
Columbus, Ohio, Aug. 2 . — The
national executive board of the Unitec
Mine Workers, which held a two days
session here rejected the propositioi
to arbitrate the wages dispute in tliai
district alone, but declared in favor o;
interstate arbitration. It was voted
to continue aggressive work in all
fields where mines are still open.
The following call for a general con
ference of leaders of all national laboi
unions at St. Louis August 30, with
the avowed object of a general sym
pathy strike, indorsed by Samue;
Gompers, president of the American
Federation of Labor, and J. R. Sov
ereign, general master workman o:
the Knights of Labor, was issued:
“The great miners’ strike has gone
beyond a struggle for living wages. A
crisis in the affairs of the nation has
arrived, in which all patriotic people
must determine whether they will ac
cept and consent to live under the rule
of an oligarchy of wealth or whethei
the institutions of free government,
• the rights of free ' speech and peace
able public assemblage are to be pre
served.
"The tyrannical and un-American
injunctions of the federal and state
courts are revolutionary against the
first principles of free government,
and derogatory to the inherent rights
of the masses, endangering the public
peace and destroying the personal
society and individual liberties of the
common people.
“The courts have desecrated the
temple of justice, and now stand foi
the defiant bulwark of confederated
capital. The'r arbitrary rulings have
setup one standard of rights for the
rich and another for the poor. They
decree that capital is always right
and labor is always wrong. They
have made it unlawful for starving
working people to appeal against
tyrannical treatment, present griev
ances or propose just and peacable
terms for the redress of insufferable
wrongs.
•ine judiciary nas assumed the in
defensible claims of the operators, and
the straggle is between tyrannical
courts and the whole people. The
courts, although under oath to serve
the rich and poor alike, have volun
teered to defend the sordid interests
Of the rich as against the God-given
rights of the poor, and now threaten
to turn the Gatling guns and the Win
chesters of criminals aud thugs
against all who dare to protest against
their despicable restraining orders.
The judiciary, prostituted to the bid
ding of oppressive capital, has placed
the rights of property above the rights
of persons, and has discriminated
against the many iu the interest of
the few.
‘‘And to the end that a just *and
equitable settlement of the differences
between employers and employed may
be effected, the public peace, the lib
erty of the masses, the sacred institu
tions of free government be preserved
and the courts estopped from these
outrageous perversions of constitu
tional rights, we appeal to that
higher, more humane and patri
otic court—the great people—who in
times of trouble have always
proven the just arbiters of differ,
ences between diversified interests !
and contending elements in the gov
ernment of human society. We ap
peal to the liberty loving people of
this great nation to. send accredited
delegates to Sti Louis, Mo., where a
mass convention will be held Monday,
August 30, 1807. The object of the
convention will not be merely to pro
test against the usurpation and tyran
ny of the courts, but to formulate
plans to compel a return to the prin
ciples of free government and put said j
plans into practical operation.” I

Curious Inventions.
Amongst the old parents which hare
become publicproperty maybe found,
an inexhaustible fund of novel ideas.
Above, for instance, are shown two -
curious gravity escapements found in
two expired patents, which may be of '
interest to those handling machinery.
In the first the levers or pallets are sup
ported on an arbor and are raised by*
the simple central gear wheel which
causes the projections shown in the
lower end of the levers to check the
movement of the larger wheel and .
come in contact with the teeth thereof.
In the second the levers are weighted
and separately support and alter
nately fall into the escapement wheel.
A pendulum is necessary in each case
to actuate the levers. Inventors and
others desiring information as to pat
ents should address Sues & Co., Pat
ent Experts, Bee Building, Omaha, .
Nebraska, for free information.
Iowa Patent Office Report.
In the interests of inventors the com
missioner of patents has promulgated
the following: An applicant, or
assignee of the entire interest, may
prosecute his own case, but he is ad
vised, unless familiar with such mat
ters, to employ a competent attorney,
as the value of patents depends largely
upon the skillful preparation of the
specification and claims. The office
cannot aid in the selection of an
attorney. An applicant may be repre
sented by any person who at the date
of approval of this rule is in good
standing as a practitioner before the
patent office: any attorney at law in
good standing in any court of record
in the United States or in any of the
states and territories thereof; any per
son of good moral character who shall
show to the satisfaction of the com
missioner of patents that he is duly
qualified to act as attorney in the pros
ecution of cases before the office.
Valuable information about obtain
ing, valuing and selling patents sent
free to any address.
Printed copies of the drawings and
specifications of any United States
patent sent upon receipt of 35 cents.
Our practice is not confined to Iowa.
Inventors in other states can have our
services upon the same terms as
Hawkeyes.
