SENATORSHIP
WILL WAIT
Ho Effort Will Be MaJe to End
Deadlock Until Last Week.
WORKING OH BIG MEASURES.
Legislature Will Get Them All Out oi
Way, Then Make an Effort to Get
Together Little Change in Situa
tion for Last Two Weeks.
Des Moines, March 27. Unless '
there Is a decided change in the sou a j
torial situation within another week it
is probable that there will be a gen
oral agreement to make no efforts at
election until the last week of the ses
hob. There does nut seem to be any
lirobability of a caucus or coyferenea
to get the men together. The genera!
opinion is that the matter will drill
along until the last few days, when
after most of the big bills have been
disposed of, there will be a supreme
eft ait at an election, and in the riot
that is sure to ensue something will bt
done to end the deadlock.
There has been no gain or loss foi
either of the Republican candidates
the last two weeks. A few of thos
who some time ago went over to Ken
yon have drifted away from him and
it Is certain that a number of the oth
ers are ready to do so without warn
iugs. But on both sides the men who
are most concerned are very firm in
their position.
Judge Kenyon was here twice the
last week and held important confer
ences with leaders of the party. He
called in men who are usually influ
ntial and who know what can be dont
and went over the situation frankly
with them. He found that most of the
veteran leaders of the party were sliu
j.Jy doing all they could, within reason
and fairly, to bring about an election
He found that Senator Cummins had
done what he could to secure an elec
tlon and had been influential in pre
vailing upon many of the leading mem
hers of the legislature to give the Fort
Todge man their loyal support. But it
was also found that no matter what ef
forts were put forth no Republican
an now get a majority of all the votes.
Judge Deemer has continued in his
attitude of acquiescence in the situa
tkn without undertaking personally to
force himself upon the legislature. It
Is well understood that his following
would remain solid even if he should
withdraw and that nothing he can da
will effect a result.
The complaint made a week ago
1 hat 'the senatorial contest is causing
delay in the legislative work has had
little force. As a matter of fact th
delay has been very slight. Th
strained altuatlon has prevented the
formation of cliques and combines in
legislative work.

INCREASING FACILITIES IN

From appearances on the surface It
does not seem that the rumor extant
some weeks ago that the Burlington
was contemplating the removal of
their brass foundry from the local
shops had any foundation in fact.
One of the officials said today that
the removal had not been approved
by the authorities at Chicago, and In
consequence, a 1, 500-pound melting
furnace which had been unloaded at
Havelock had been reshlpped to this
city and is being Installed at the brass
foundry here. This Is no doubt good
news to the moulders, who were con
templating removal from this city,
where they have their homes, to the
other city to pay rent.

REV. LEWIS'
A Large Audience Attends the
Meeting Sunday Afternoon.
In his preliminary remarks open
ing the men's meeting at the M. 13.
church yesterday afternoon, Farmer
Lewis, In commenting on the appar
ent predominance of women at the
services of the church on most oc
casions, said that It was becoming bo
that the women of the church were
the pillars of the church and the men
were only the "pillar shams."
An audience which comfortably
filled the church auditorium, consist
ing of men only, greeted Farmer
Lewis, who took charge of the service
after Mr. Sutherland had conducted
a half hour song and whistling
service. Sutherland was chuck full
of music and the rythm broke out
at all his joints and smiled out of bis
face, and he Invited the men to shine
up their faces like "hls'n." Some
he was afraid wasn't enjoying the
slnglug, and unless they got In and
sang, too, they would not have a good
time. Before leaving for the wom
en's meeting at the Presbyterian
church he sang, "My Mother'8 Bible,"
In a very touching way, which ap
pealed to the men in a way no other
song would.
Farmer Lewis bad for his text a
verse from Ezeklal, "I have Bought
for a man among them to stand In
the gap." And with this be also used
a portion of the new testament
scripture. "And what has he done?"
whlch Rev' Lels the per

what have you done?" Among other
things Farmer Lewis said to the men
that he bad always noticed that when
the men of a community took hold of
an enterprise It always went through.
What the world most needed now
was men, men with stamina, men
with principle, men of bono r, men
of courage, to stand In the gap. There
was a gap In the church In this town
which could only be filled by the men
of this town. He then argued that as
a business proimsltion It was the
thing to do that the men of the town
be religious, and cited an instance of

The speaker then took up th

have you done?" drawing a word
picture of a beautiful engine he had
seen at the World's fair, which he ad
mired much, and on Inquiry as to
the use It was put too was told that It
was only on exhibition. He made th
comparison that the men, so far aa
the work of the church was concern
ed, were too much on exhibition.
At the close of the service Re.
