A check for $20 , signed "Henry Hothert
dccf Instetute , " got a youns man who gave
the police the name of William nrown Into
( jjayble yesterday that will likely land hln
In'tho penitentiary. Drown perpetrated the
clumsy forgery himself , and his efforts to
get it cashed led to his arrest.
During the afternoon the fellow appearec
nt a number of grocery stores on Lower Mali
street and sought to get the check cashei
upon various pretenses. Ho was so evidently
only n common tramp nnd the check wni
BO clearly n forgery that his requests were
declined nnd his deslro to purchase mnal
bills of goods not acceded to. The last store
he entered wai the grocery of llobcrt Arm
k t & . .Son , Here ho produced a laundry sllj
"Spoil which he had scrawled n list of gro
ceries amounting to $0.50 , which he ordcrci
to bo put up. While the clerk was filling
the bill the tramp was telling all about him-
kelf. Ho said he had been working for a
farmer living five miles beyond "tho deef
asylum , " nnd that the farmer nnd hlmscll
liad brought In n load of stuff ami sold it to
Superintendent Hothert , who had paid for
It with a $20 check. The farmer had told
him to use the check In payment for the
groceries and get a suit of clothes and some
other things with what remained. Ho casu
ally remarked that the groceryman need
not hurry the work of tying up the groceries ,
for It might ho an hour before the farmer
drove with his wagon for them. He , how
ever , evinced considerable anxiety to get the
check cashed , and was offering It to the
elcrk all the time ho was giving out the In
teresting llttlo bits of personal history ,
glance at thu check satisfied Arnd that II
was a forgery. Superintendent Hothert uses
an entirely different check when purchasing
supplies for the Iowa School for the Deaf ,
urn ! nothing makes him quite so angry ns tc :
liavo the school referred to as the "deaf and
dumb asylum , " and there was something
lllio grim Irony In the line scrawled In the
corner , "decf Instotute. " Arnd assured the
tramp that ho had no doubt but that the
check was all right , but he would bo obliged
to follow their custom of always verifying a
check before accepting It. He told the fel
low to watt while ho telephoned to the in-
Etltuto for Information , The tramp was ex
tremt'ly anxious to leave at once , but ho uns
restrained by the very large and manly
hand of T. J. Kvaus , who held him until
Arnd made the Inquiries that eatlslied all
doubts. Ho was kept at the store until an
Dtncer was called.
At Jho station ho told several conflicting
stories , and from the mass of stuff found In
his pockets the police hcllovo ho is one of
| ho fakirs who follow state and county fairs ,
Hu was locked up on the charge of forgery.

On taking the chair .Mr. Chambers briefly
addressed the convention , contrasting the
principles represented by the republican
nnd democratic national platforms In a
telling manner. The republican platform ,
ho said , presented a picture of political
prosperity , patriotism and peace. The demo
cratic platform represented political per-
lurbance. putresenco and rottenness , and
lie did not think the American people could

for them by the Chlcrgo , convention.
Th. ) following report of the committee on
resolutions was unanimously adopted :

ncin.
ONLY CONTEST OF THE CONVENTION.
The only contest of thu convention wcs
n the nomination of a candidate for re.
cordcr. The name of W. JI. Sheperd wan
> resentcd by F. J. Day , II. F. Uryden of
ercd the name of 'U ' , K. J. Morris.John

flee of auditor. Matthews polled the cntlri
strength of the country precincts and re
ceived 124 votes on the Informal ballot nn < ]
Dalrymple 30. On the formal bnllol
Slatthews' rcnomlnatlon was made unani
mous. Ho made n happy speech of acknowl
edgment , In which he said ho appreciated
the honor because ho had not sought It ,
lie had served In the office two terms and
had not asked a nomination for another
term. He appreciated the compliment and
assured the convention that there was no
question about his willingness to accept
the place.
There was buf ono name presented for
the nomination as a candidate for member
of the Hoard of Supervisors. Henry Drandcs
of James township was nominated by ac
clamation. Ho made n brief speech of ac
knowledgment. He said the times were
such that even the farmers were getting
their eyes open , lie had remembered the
promise of lirynn , Bolso & Co. , that wheat
would be n dollar a bushel under demo
cratic rule. As a matter of fact , the farm
ers had been working sixteen hours a day
for 35-cent wheat and were Btlll In debt to
their wives for their board. Their condition
would liavo been worse had not their wives
been working like heroines , selling butter
and eggs to keep the family table supplied.
He predicted that the Germans would be In
line for sound money this fall and that
Iowa would give the biggest republican ma
jority 1 had done for eighteen years. If
he were elected as n member of the Hoard
of Supervisors ho would do the best ho
could to discharge the duties of the office
to the best of his ability.
This completed the work of the conven
tion and , after selecting T. C. Uawson ns
chairman of the county central committee ,
the meeting wns adjourned.
The republican township convention to

Partly Outlined.
The democratic county convention -will
bo held on Tuesday next to nominate can
didates for county olllces. The primaries
will bo held In the various wards of the
city tonight to select delegates to the con
vention.
There has not been much activity among
aspirants for the nomination for the various
olllces. Hoscoe Barton of Avoca , a free
silver democrat , recently from republican
ranks , and Colonel S. n. Wadsworth of
this city , are candidates for the nomination
for county attorney.
Eugene Stupfel of Hardln township will
undoubtedly bo nominated for clerk of the
courts. Ho wants the nomination and no
ono else Is seeking It.
F. W. Spetman of Council Bluffs Is u
cnndldato for the nomination for recorder
of deeds , and has not yet found any op
position.
U. B. Dentler will bo renomlnated for a
member of the board of supervisors.
The leaders of the party have not heard
of any eno who Is a candidate for auditor ,
nnd the convention will have a big field to
draw from for this position. Any aspiring
democrat who wants to offer himself for
the sacrifice can Icarn of something to his
disadvantage by addressing the chairman of
the county central committee.
The populist county convention will be
held at the same time as the democratic.
The populist primaries will bo held on
Saturday evening.

DES SIOINES , Sept. 10. ( Special Tele
gram. ) The Missouri Elevator and Tormina
company of Kansas City and forty-live cor
porations and firms engaged In the grain an.
milling business In that city nnd vicinity
today filed In federal court hero n petltlot
against the Chicago Itock Island , t Paclfl
railroad. An Injunction Is asked to compe
the roads to put In more equitable grain
rates. It Is asserted that the present rate
arc ruining the grain and milling buslnes
of Kansas City. The petition recites th
facts conceinlng the recent war on grain
rates from Sllssourl river points to the SIls
slsslpnl river and Chicago. It sets forth tha
the Gulf roads cut first , and to meet this the
Kansas City and Chicago lines reduced the !
rates an average of 10 cents 'per hun.lre.
weight of all grains , leaving them abou
half the original rates. These rates were
mndo to apply only on business originating ,
west of Kansas City. The petition claim
It U a direct discrimination against the
grain and milling Interests of Kansas City
In which nearly $2,000,000 of capital Is In
volvcd. It Is stated that seventy-flve firmer
or concerns nre Interested In the buslnes
there , because grain will bo shipped direct to
Chicago or Davenport and cannot stop a
Kansas City. The Hock Island road Is sin
glcd out for the purpose of i his action , 1
being expected the other roads will abide
by the decision In this case. ' It Is allege

WASHINGTON , Sept. 10. The September
report of tha statistician of'the1 Department
of Agriculture shows a decline In the con
dition of corn from the August statement ol
flvo points or from 90 per cent Inugust
to 91 per cent in September. The averages
In the principal corn growing states are :
Kentucky. 93 ; Ohio , 103 ; Michigan , 101 ; In
diana , 106 ; Illinois. 100 ; Iowa , 103 ; Missouri ,
85 ; Kansas , 89 ; Nebraska , 103. Although
this Is a falling off In the condition in some
states , particularly In Kansas and N'ebrftska ,
the corn crop this year promises to be a large
one. Nearly all the great central states re
port a high condition , though many local
reports of drouth , flooding lalns , Insects or
along the northern border , early frosts. The
Later crop has fared worse in most states.
The Pacific slope sends favorable -eports.
The general condition of wheat , consider
ing both winter and spring varieties when
harvested , was 74.0 against 75.4 In 1895 and
73.1 In 1894. The reported condition for the
principal wheat states Is as follows : Ohio ,
52 ; Sllchlgnn. 75 ; Indiana , CC ; Illinois , 77 ;
Wisconsin , 75 ; Sllnnesota , 80 ; Iowa , 81 ; Slls
sourl , 73 ; Kansas. 70 ; Nebraska , 77 ; South
Dakota , 70 ; North Dakota , Cl ; California ,
100 ; Oregon , 03 ; Washington. 7C. East of
the Hocky mountaihs complaints of both
quality nnd quantity of the wheat crop
are almost universal , the cause alleged
being winter killing due to deficient snow
covering , stunted growth due to early
drouth , Itibcct attack , rust and especially the
prevalent heavy rains following harvest ,
from which a large percentage of the grain
sprouted and rotted In the shock , The Pa
cific slope' suffered somewhat , chiefly from
dry weather shrinking the grain ; but not
so generally as the central and eastern
states.
The European agent of the department
reports n general reduction from early esti
mates of the wheat crop owing to unfavor
able weather , which was particularly had
nt harvest time In Central Europe , though
fairly good westward. The quality of eraln
Is reported high. Onts and barley will
be short. The corn crop In the southern
peninsular Is looking well ,
Condition of oats when harvested was 74
per cent agjlnst 77.3 In August ; rye , 82 ;
barley , 83,1 ; buckwheat , 93.2 ; potatoes , t.3.2
against 90.S per cent last year.

YANKTON , S. D. , Sept. 10. ( Special. )
The southern part of this state will hold
a greater number of fairs. , thlq month than
ever before In the history of the state. . .The
ttnte fair will be held at Yankton for the
Irst time , and the directors are endeavor
ing to make a creditable exhibition of the
products of the state. No attempt has
been made to turn this fair Into a circus
or carnival. Its principal attractions will
bo horse racing and farm displays. Sioux
Falls , with her usual enterprise , offers a
varied program and valuable cash premi
ums for those attending the trl-
state fair. Sioux Falls made a
failure In her dealings with the . .StateBoari
of Agriculture a year ago , and since thai
tlmo has been engaged In putting up a show
that will convince the public that she can
have a fair without the assistance of the
state board. Buffalo BUI Is the big attrac
tion for this fair. Scotland will have Its
district fair as usual , and Clay county will
follow Its custom of having a county exposi
tion , regardless of what her neighbors may
bo doing. Land seekers' excursionists are
coming Into this state by hundreds , looking
for suitable locations for homes nnd others
nro buying for speculation. Ono party re
cently bought nnd paid the cash for thlrty-
ono farms of ICO acres each.
