The Iowa republican state convention -
' 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 God 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 and W. S. Kenworthy of Mahaska
county for secretary , was adopted.
The committee also announced that
all nominations would be made by a
call of districts and that no nominat
ing speeches would be permitted.
Chairman Mahon thanked the conven
tion for the honor of his election and
attempted to make a speech. After
talking about four minutes the couven-
tion compelled him to desist , all being
auxious for the fray.
The convention at once proceeded to
the nomination of a candidate for gov
ernor. Seven candidates were placed
in the field. On the fourth ballot , L.
M. Shaw of Crawford county was nom
inated , receiving 752 votes. The ticket
was completed as above given.
HON. L. M. SHAW.
Leslie M. Shaw , of Dennison , the
nominee for governor , was born in
Vermont. He came to Iowa in 1809 ,
when he was but 21 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 bestlaw
practices in the state. In addition to
his lucrative law practice he lias bank
ing interests in two towns in his coun
ty. Up 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 , among 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 u certainty. A weaken
ing in our position , faltering in our
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 1S90.
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 characterize 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 the leg
islative policy of the nation. The bat
tle of 1900 will be , as to the questions ,
the culmination of the conflict between
wisdom and folly , and by courage ,
steadfastness and unity , the struggle
for these great principles will be prac
tical ' won and the golden doors of
the twentieth century shall swing
open for our waiting feet.
THE TI..A.TFOHM.
The report of the committee on reso-
lutio s was adopted without a dissent-
i
ing vote. The financial plank in full
is as follows :
The republican party of Iowa reaffirms and
adopts in every part tfio declaration of prin
ciples announced by the republican national
convention of 1890 , and it pledges for lown
that the election In November next shall be
a still more emphatic show ofstrength and
justlco of republican doctrines , it again
especially 'icclares for protection and honest
money.
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 oi
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 in 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
and the power of combination re
strained , in order that all may have
equal opportunities of • advancement.
It invokes the birth and history of th.e .
party as a guaranty of the pledge that it
means only to do justice. The admin
istration of GovernorDrakeisendorsed
and the farmers are congratulated
upon the selection of James Wilson as
secretar3r of agriculture. .
The platform closes with the follow
ing paragraph :
"We 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. "
Four Years UetUnp Wood.
Robert Winn , an old and eccentric
character , died at his home on Hargia
creek , this county , recently. "Uncle
Bob , " as he 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 complied 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'JoInthe 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 Airs. 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 of "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

It Saved Repetition.
It was on the 5 o'clock accommoda
tion on the Boston & Maine. He was a
green brakeman greener than grass
at this time of the year and it was
his first run over the road. At Somerville -
ville he woke old Sprettegrew out his
every afternoon nap by announcing
"Chelsea ! " and a little later , when they
stopped at East Everett , he paralyzed
old lady Pettijohn by proclaiming
"Pride Crossing ! " Eut the climax was
reached when the train arrived at
tLynn. 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 on the rear platform poked
his head in the other door and shouted :

The Knife as a "Weapon.
The knife is a historic weapon in
Prance. 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 1S20.V Thus in
using , a knife against Carnet the anar
chist assassin followed a long line of
precedents set by regicides in France.

An Old Conrr.
Northampton county , Va. , has the un
broken record of its court from 1632 to
the present time. This is believed to
be the oldest complete court record in
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.

Wheat Continue * to Advance.
Kansas Citv , Mo. , Aug. 23. Wheal
sold at 81 and at SI. 01 in the Kansas
City market to-day. The Chicago Sep
teraber price reached Si , and dollai
wheat is now a realized dream in al ]
> the Western markets.
1 The dollar price was paid here foi
the soft variety. There was demand
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 05 cents. The receipts
were largo and all classes of buyers
wanted wheat. Some fortunate buy
ers made their purchases at { 4 cents ,
before the final advance occurred.
The excitement in the wheat market
leaped over into corn and oats to-day.
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
" cents.
The wheat market to-day was even
more exciting than that of yesterday.
The opening in Chicago was around
OS cents for September wheat. There
was a momentary set-back to 9 < > 3 <
cents , but the price very quickly start
ed up ugain. It struck 09 cents and
rebounded to 08 cents several times.
Toward the close it went above 00
cents with a rush , sold at Si once and
closed at 99. ! . < cents , mailing an ad
vance of 0 J cents since the regular
close yesterday.
So great was the uncertainty respect
ing possible happenings next week
that "calis " ' for Monday sold at § 1.12
to SI.Ii and "puts" at ( ) \i \ cents to 03
cents the farthest apart that they
ever sold withiu the recollection of
anj'body. September wheat sold as
low as 003- cents and as high as SI.
The December price did not keep far
behind. The trade was limited largely
to the "high rollers. " The ordinary
scalper stood no chance at all.
Nearly all the European markets
went up about as much as American
prices advanced yesterday. The dif
ference in time makes it impossible for
foreign markets to keep on a parity
with American on such advances as to
day's for the foreign markets are closed
for the day very soon after trading
begins in this country.
The exports of wheat this week were

week. The movement out of the coun
try is so large that no wheat is ac

show a decrease of a million bushels.

Van Koporri That Husiucss Is Ilcttcr
Than for Years I'ast.
Nkw Yorjc , Aug. 23. II. G. Dun &
Co. 's Weekly He view says :
"Not for five years have the tele
graphic reports of the 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 futnvc is strong and increasing.
Nothing appears to check it. Rumors
of injury to the crops arc 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 lilrcly 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 maj' 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 e.ver grown , but
the dry goods market is decidedly im
proving , and some of the large
mills , after a few weeks of
suspension , have resumed work.
Other farm products are doing well
also. Wheat has advanced about 21 % c
for the. week on actual transactions ,
with heavy purchases for export. The
official estimate of yield is entircly
disregarded , except as an admission
that the crop will be larger than that
of last year , antl it is commonly as
sumed that the yield will be 550,000 , -
000 bushels or more , though recent re
ports of injury , indicating the possi
bility of a somewhat smaller outcome ,
have helped the advance in prices.

Coi.usinus , Ohio , Aug. 2 . Tin
national executive hoard of the Unitec
Mine Workers , which held a two < layn
session hero rejected the propositior
to arbitrate the wages dispute in thai
district alone , but declared in favor o
interstate arbitration. It was votc < J
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 , inddrscd 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 :
"Tho great miners' strike has gone
beyond a struggle for living wages. A
crisis in the affairs of the nation haa
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 whcthci
the institutions of free government ,
the rights of free speech und peace
able public assemblage are to be pre *
served.
"The tyrannical and un-American
I injunctions of the federal and state
courts arc 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 fet
the defiant bulwark of confederated
capital. Their arbitrary rulings have
set up 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 mane 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.
"The judiciary has assumed the in
defensible claims of the operators , and
the struggle 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 and 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 righti
of persons , and has discriminated
against the many 3a 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 lights , 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 St. Louis , Mo. , where a
mass convention will be held Monday ,
Autrust 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
plans into practical operation. "

Curlou * Indentions. j J
Amongst the old patents which have M
become public property inay be found m
an inexhaustible fund of novel ideas. M
Above , for instance , are shown two V
curious gravity escapements found in
two expired patents , which may be of m
interest to those handling machinery. %
In the first the levers or pallets are supported - M
ported on an arbor and are raised by &a
the simple central gear wheel which j *
causes the projections shown in the M
lower end of the levers to check the >
movement of the larger wheel and .Mm
come in contact with the teeth thereof. mM
In the second the levers are weighted JM
and separately happort and alter- • jfl
nately fall into the escapement wheel. fl
A pendulum is necessary in each case
to actuate the levers. Inventors and
others desiring information as to patfl
ents should address Sues & Co. , Patent - 9

In the interests of inventors the coin V
mihnioncr of patents has promulgated QM
the following : An applicant , or Am
assignee of the entire interest , may \
prosecute his own case , but he is advised - V
vised , unless familiar with such matters -
ters , to employ competent attorney. fl
as the value of patents depends largely $ M
upon the skillful preparation of the fl
specification and claims. The office fl
cannot aid in the selcetion of an 4M
attorney. An applicant may be repre- AmM
sented by any person who at the date ME M
of approval of this rule is in good H
standing as a practitioner before the H
patent office : any attorney at law in \ H
good standing in any court of record JH
in the United States or in any of the B
states and territories thereof ; any person - \
son of good moral character who shall A M
show to the satisfaction of the comJH
missioner of patents that he is duly \W
qualified to act as attorney in the pros- L\
edition of cases before the office. \W\
Valuable information about obtaining - M
ing , valuing and selling patents sent \ M
free to any address. H

specifications of any United States A U
patent sent upon receipt of 25 cents. H
