IOWA THIRD PARTY PLANS Promoters ol Organization Pre dict Large Attendance. MAY DOUBLE THE DELEGATIONS Plan on Foot to Have Crowd at State Gathering Leader Will Not Put Separate Ticket in Field Counties Select Delegates. Des Moines, July 22. The promot ers of the new third party In Iowa con fidently predict an attendance of six or seven hundred delegates to their state convention here Wednesday. The county conventions were fairly well attended. In some counties no con ventions were held, but In many of them there was a fair turnout of men for the selection of delegates who will come to Des Moines to help In organ izing a new party. The convention will be held in the Coliseum, which will Beat 6,000 per sona. The arrangements were made for the Coliseum when it was sup posed that Colonel Roosevelt would come In person and make a speech. In that case the building might have been filled. The only speakers thus far arranged for are Rev. Charles Tal mage and possibly Senator Dixon of Montana. It Is expected that a delegation will be selected to go to Chicago and aid in the nomination of Roosevelt for president. It ia possible a double del egation will be selected. The conven tion will also choose candidates for presidential electors, men who will go on the stump and campaign for the party In all parts of the state. It has been decided by all the Jead era of the movement that under no conditions will an effort be made to put up a separate ticket for state of fices nor for the legislature, congress or for senator. There will be no bolt ing and no fight for the offices. There may he a few counties in the state where local candidates will be put In the field by petition. The candidates for elector will go on the ballot by petition as an independent ticket. New Health Legislation.

Dubuque will have a curfew ordinance. If the may or follows out his emphatic declara tion, it will be a real curfew one en forced to the letter and without the playing of favorites. The mayor is opposed to the meas ure and during ths two months the matter has boen under consideration Having been fortunate enough to secure the agency for the Blau-Gass, we are going to reduce our immense Hardware Stock and evenually close it out entirely, retaining only the Heating and Plumbing end. In order to accomplish this quickly we are making the prices quoted in this advertisement. This sale will coutinue uniil we find a buyer, for our stock and will give you an opportu nity to get goods at less prices than they were ever offered in PLittsmouth before. It is impossible to itemize prices on every item, as it would take over a month to go through and ite mize everything separate. We wish to state that outside of heating and plumbing material we are not holding back anything, but will discount every article, as we are positively going out of the hardware end ot our business. With the new line that we have taken it will take all the time we have to give it proper attention, and if there anything you need in the hardware line you would do well to look over our stock. We are going to advertise our stock for sale in the leading papers and very likely will have a buyer for the entire stock in a very short time, so if there is anything you need it would be well to get it at once. Platismouth, J Efl IFA UMJI 01 Nebraska has made plain his opposition, fit'! early declared he would not sign the ordinance if passed, nor would he veto it. He declared, however, he would see, In the event of its passage, that every policeman did his duty, empha sizing the fact that a law flagrantly violated, even in response to public sentiment, tended to bring all law into disfavor. The city council, by a vote of 4 to 3. favored the curfew. Chautauqua Ran In Debt. Webster City, la., July 22. The Webster City Chautauqua has Just held Jts annual meeting.

IVESON Hawkins wus strolling through a wood when be came to the rear of u gentleman's country place Inclosed by a wall about as high as his chin ami stood looking In at an orchard, n flower garden and other nice things that are usually Included In a gentleman's coun try grounds. Edging nlong w here the wall was lower, be found himself op posite the flower garden. Seeing some roses that were very beautiful, he cov eted them. lie wouldn't steal them, but he thought he bad at least the right to sniff their perfume, so he climbed the wall and entered the gar den. There was no one near, and he wan dered about, enjoying the beauty and the odor of the flowers, not feeling that he was in any great danger of be ing caught trespassing. Coming to a conservatory, he entered. The com bined warmth and beautiful colors and plant odor were delicious, ne walked around one side of an embankment of verdure and was turning when he stood face to face with a girl. She looked very much embarrassed and be gan o stammer excuses for being there. "I beg your pardon, sir, but your place I mean your grounds are so beautiful that I could not resist the temptation to enter. Then, coming to this conservatory 1 love conservato ries I Just couldn't help coming In here either." Hawkins. Instead of admitting that he was himself a trespasser, said that the girl was quite excusable and was welcome not only to visit the premises, but to as many flowers as she could carry away, he began to pluck the choicest and to load ber down with them. "These roses," he snld. "are my pride. They are a variety I Imported from England. But you prefer violets. I presume. Yon will find them very sweet Let me give you some mlgnon ette." And so, going from plant to plant, the senmp continued to bestow upon her flowers that did not belong to him. Too honest to take them himself, be saw no harm in giving them to anoth er whose conscience was perfectly clear at the transition. Since she sup posed they were the offering of tbelr owner, all that was necessary to ren der the freak successful was to get her out before being discovered. The door at the entrance opened and closed. Hawkins looked about him. They were at the farther end of the la closure, and there was no egress there. The girl saw that something bad gone wrong and looked at him, agitated. "Don't be frightened," be said. "Trust to me and back me up in any thing I may say." "What's the matterr "I don't own this greenhouse. I am a trespasser as well as you." "nenvens!" "Keep a stiff upper Hp. I have been caught In worse traps than this many time." The dialogue was brought to an end by approaching footsteps, and a gen tleman came to where they were stand ing, the girl looking very guilty, Haw kins ready for anything. "Good morning, sir," he said to the gentleman. "You must pardon us, but your beautiful grounds and especially this conservatory have proved too much of a temptation for us, and, be ing here, the lady was so delighted with your flowers that I had not the heart to see her go away without few of them." Now, tbo real owner took in the sit uation at once. It happened that be was a bit of a wag himself, and had not the trespassers been rattled they might bave seen a twinkle In bis eye when be snld: "I assure you I bave no objection to lady and gentleman using any part oX mi grounds, provided they have a These right to do so lu each others company. I presume you are married." The girl turned pale. "C-c-certnlnly!" stamuiered Hawkins The gentleman looked dubious. "Do you mean, sir. that this lady Is your wife?" "1 do." "And yon, madam Is this gentleman your husband V" The response was u faint but audible "Yes." "Then, madam, you are quite wel come to the flowers you have, and 1 beg you to accept more." With this he began clipping right nnd left, loading the flowers upon her Then he insisted on showing the cou ple his place nnd after that Invited them Into his house, bringing out a decanter of wine and a bit of old cheese with biscuits. Ilavfng got Haw kins' name, he kept calling the girl Mrs. Hawkins, and every time ho did so she blushed to the roots of her bnlr. Fi nally, wben they took their departure, be said: "I am always pleased to bave others enjoy my place under proper condi tions. If I suspect a couplo entering the premises of not being married I always marry them. Of course It wasn't mercenary In your case, but wben you each acknowledged the other before me to be your legal partner that married you." When the pair emerged from the grounds the girl asked grimly, "What was that he snld about marrying?" "I'm afraid there's something In It" ITII make you pay for this." And she did. She held him to the eontract. Parallel Stories. When Napoleon was a student at Bri en no he happened to be asked by one of the examiners the following ques tion: "Supposing you were In nn Invest ed town,' threatened with starvation, how would you supply yourself with provisions?" "From the enemy," re plied the sublieutenant of artillery. And this answer so pleased the exam iners that they passed him without fur tfier questioning. Now, Napoleon's an swer was by no means oiiglnal, for one of Suvuroffs sergeants ootalned promotion from the ranks by giving the very same answer when asked the very same question. Whether It was that Napoleon hud read his story some where ami luckily renumbered the ser geant's answer at the right moment or whether, as one writer says anent the speech of the beef eater, "All that can be sii Id Is that two people happened to hit upon the same thought," we are unable to say, but the slmllnrlty of the anecdote Is, to say the least of it, a strange coincidence.

According to Dr. Durdik, physical exeereise should be done for tho express purpose to strengthen the mind so it could dictate to the body. It is not an easy matter to restrain the body from enjoying what it likes, al though knowing that such enjoy ment is injurious. A sound mind or good sense gives orders to the body regulating its habits. Can you prevent your body from over eating, over-drinking and other excesses? Try it and if you suc ceed you will be perfect. Should any disorder in the digestion pre vent you to do so, try Triner's American Elixir of Hitter Wine. It will strengthen your stomach and your intestines, will arouse the appetite nnd increase the di gestive secretions; it will clean out the bowels and keep tliern clean. It, will relieve pain.
