John N. Ilaldwln left on Saturday evening for the ra t on Important legal Intflnres that will keep htm out of the state until the day of the republican convention at Cedar Rapids. If the legal quibbles nhould consume more than Is expected Mr. Baldwin will bo greatly disappointed , for he had prepared his speech nominating Mr. Fllcklngcr with unusual care. While his absence- from the convention would create much disappointment among Mr. Flick- Inger'e friends , It would not prevent the claims of the southwestern Iowa candidate being presented to tbn convention with suf ficient force to Insure moro than ordinary attention. Half a dozen men In the weotern part of the state stand ready to argue the claims of western Iowa and advocate Mr. FIlcklnger'K candidacy for governor with plenty of energy. Mr. Fllcklngcr's friends In Page , Fremont , iMllls and Montgomery counties are moro sanguine than ever ae the tlmo for the convention approaches. The feeling at home has abated none of Its Intensity and Interest. From the entire iwilhwcstcrn portion of the state the dele gates will shout and work for their candi date , and scores of Mr. Fllcklnger's friends who are not In the convention will accom pany Iho dclegatloiiB und make ) their In- Iliicnce felt. It Is the general Impreenlon that the can didate will not bo nominated In the early stages of tliH convention , and that the two politician * who are the acknowledged le.U- crs In the race at the present time will poll their full strength nn the first few ballots. Then the opportunity to form combinations and do some trading will be presented. U southwestern Iowa delegations Bland firmly In favor of Mr. Fllcklnger under the lead of the powerful delegation that will repre sent this county there Is abundant reason for believing that the claims of the wettern portion of the state for recognition will liavo become so prominent and so hotly- pressed that the republicans In other portions tions of the ctate will be forced to ac knowledge them. When the fight reaches this point northwestern Iowa will Join the eolith half and Fllcklnger will be nominated. From the hundreds of letters that are pouring Into Mr. Fllcklngcr's olllco from western Iowa delegates and politicians , the Hontlmcnt Is easily gathered that the dele gates will go to the convention with the Intention of making a vquare , honest fight for a western man , and that they are confi dent of Mr. Fllcklngcr'a success. 40 Domestic soap wrappers are good for elx silver teaspoons.

Squire gives a full account of the experiences of himself and family In the wreck of the steamer Mexico off the coast of Alaska. The letter was written from Jlctcatala , Alaska , on Thursday evening , August 6. Mr. Squlro re marks that the trip seems to bo destined to be the most eventful he has ever made , and proceeds to describe a number of exciting Incidents connected with It prior to the wreck of the vessel In which they were sailing for home. Of the wreck ho writes : On Tuesday morning at three minutes1 pasT 4 we felt the boat tip from side to side ; then ; came n crash that Jerked us from our berths. This was followed by the hurrying 01 teet on ilie deck above us. I said to Will : "Something Is wrong. " He Jumped' ' up nnd put his life preserver on over his shirt nnd started for the deck , but still 1 did not realize the truth and called him back. In a few minutes the purser rapped ut our door antl told us to get up quick and Into the life boats. We hurried Into our clothes and Into the Btatf-room of MIPS Ilcss and awakened them. Then all was commotion ; women nervous and running about und tryIng - Ing to gather up their luggage. The olllcers fald : "No baggage , but get In hero < iulck. Thehlp Is sinking fast. She bus struck a rock and burst a great hole In her. " I grabbed my hand bug nnd told the boys to do the same , and put Into It all that we could of our nlco Alaska things nnd left the other things In the stateroom. After seelnir Mr. " . Squire nnd Miss Hess and the boys in the life boat I climbed down the hidden Ureail and1 water were thrown to us und soon eight boats just like our own were waiting outside to Fee the ship Mexico go down. Moro baggage was put on life raftp , nnd the captain was the last man to leave the old chip. We were moro than twenty-live miles from land and In 800 feet of water. We watched the Mexico sink. We saw the water reach one line after another on her sides ; then the portholes disap peared and then middle deck was covered. \V > snapped a view with our camonis nt the different stnges of the sinking nnd caught all of the phases of the disaster. The ship- - went down ytern first with her nose hlsh In the air. To the last it wn. a most , in teresting and t-trungely fascinating- spectacle , the most Interesting we ever witnessed. Soon nil that wna left of her was a few plankH and the pilot's chart house Heating upon the water. We saved all of our cloth ing , but lost our souvenir ? and our shoes , but we were among the few fortunate ones , liefore going aboard at Victoria we had de termined1 to abandon our trunks , nnd this was our good fortune , for every trunk that wax brought aboard was put Into the hold nnd but one of them wns gotten out. People lost gold , clothing and many other things. One man lost } 1,500 In gold. Everything but the light baggage In the cabins went down with the ship. Tne fault and responsibility for the wreck Is with both the captain and the pilot , as the former ordered the ship to stop from 1o'clock until 4 , without cast ing anchor , nnd she drifted far out of tier course. When the pilot started her ngnln ho remarked to the second ollicer , who wan on the bridge : "There's u rock four teen miles to our right above water , and one seven miles to our left under water. " ' It was not three mlnutt-n after these words until rim struck that same sunken rock on the starboard bow ( rlRht side for ward ) , o he was seven mllen and over wronir In his bearliiK . The pilot , Connell , In called a good fellow , but It will cost him his license und his reputation. The captain will be lucky If ho esi-npc-s. The olllcers of the board are very unpopular with us nil , und we have all been badly antl shabbily treated on the trip , Bo bail was the mnnaKement that although there wore eight of our boatw only ono compats In the lot would work. Wo were not kept tOKuther , but were allowed to drift , nnd we KOOII found ourselves like a lot of be wildered Hhfi'p. We all scattered and u heavy fog net In , We could not see the sun. nor n mile In any direction. Wo were IIH helplens as the llttlo 15-montliF-old baby In our boat. It was about G o'clock when wo Mtarteil to row away In a northwesterly direction , and after 11 o'clock before we pulled Into this llttlo mission town , where 1 write. We turned around and around nnd were completely lost . .t tr.r , There were twenty of ut * und live seamen , with the pecond otllcer as master In our boat. We did not land at all until we came here , Home nibbled the bread nnd the little baby illd beautifully on condensed milk In cold wnter , mixed In my gloss soap dish from my satchel , We all got together at Percy Island , however , and nongs of thanksgiving were Hunt' , and one dear old woman re minded us of how near to death we had been , Few oycs were dry. As the Mexico was a wooden fteainer ItiKteud of slot ! clad she sank more slowly und all lir.il time to adjust life preservers and get away. No lives were loiH und none wore Injured. Ono feature causes us all lo shudder that la thu thought of the horrible rible disaster that would have been In evitable If It had occurretl white thu miners were aboard , whom we had unloaded a few days before. There would then have been 650 people to provide for Initcatl of ISO , and every ollicer agrees that even " 00 of I Mem could not have pjgdlbly been Haved. \V - > lrr' CiiiuiuilKii I-'mlH IiiKlorloutly NEW YORK.

( Special Telegram. ) Today n number of the leading politicians arrived In the city , but beyond securing rooms and taking a casual glance over the ground there has been no notable change In the situation so far as the guber natorial contest Is concerned. Parrott has the largest number of votes nnd Funk next. Harlan , Shaw , Harsh , Ilyers and Fuller fol low In the order named. It seems to be taken as fact tonight that It will be almost Impossible to form any definite combination. If any ono seems to be adding to his strength It Is Shaw. Ho has never been prominent In state politics until last year , when he took the Btutnp for McKlnley and made a number of telling speeches. He delivered ono of the best speeches of the campaign , from a financial standpoint , In western Iowa. Ho Is a fine lawyer , a good buslncco man "and n prominent member of the Methodist church. All canCldatcs for office other than gov ernor are moro or less nt son. Locality has always been considered In making up an Iowa stuti' ticket. Hence candidates for judge of the supreme court and lieutenant governor recognize that for this reason they will have to wait until the main question has been settled. If n western man Is nomi nated for governor the lieutenant governor probably will b chosen from the eastern end of the state , and vice versa. It la gen erally taken for granted that the fortunes of Parrott nnd Leggctt nre linked together. If Pnrrott Is nominated for governor L1 g- gett , who resides In the southern portion of thtf state. Is very likely to get the nomi nation for supreme Judge. Hut should Par rott go down the nomination may go to Waterman of Davenport or Uni McCoy of Oskaloosa. Sabln seems to be In the lead for super intendent of public Instruction. He Is very prominent In educational circles nnd lien held the office for four terms , and has five times been nominated for the olllce. having been defeated once by J. U. Knoupler , who Is the present candidate on the sound money democratic ticket. Sabln would be defeated but for the fact that none of the men who arc out against him have anything like his reputation as an educator. There are many wild rumors floating around about this and that combination hav ing bccra formed , and while correspondents who have apace to fill may tell long stories regarding them , there Is no evidence to sub stantiate any such reports. The fact \a \ that It Is almost Impossible to formulate a com bination. Governor 'Drake'ij withdrawal from the race so late In the campaign precluded anything like a compact organization. A stampede to Ilarlan Is possible , but hardly probable. His extreme age makes him an unlikely candidate. Were he five or six years younger he would be almost certain of the nomination.

The Iowa Odd Fellows' orphans' home matter promises to attain n degree of prominence that will place It alongside the famous Jones county calf case. Two years ago the grand lodge of Odd Fellows selected Jefferson City as the city In which to locate a home for or phans of deceased Odd Fejlows. A commit tee of five was chosen to 'make a contract and go ahead with the work. A member of this committee resided at Indlanola , a town that had been a competitor for the home , and he so managed the affair that Jefferson was left out , In disregard of the desires of the grand lodge , and a contract signed with Indlanola. Jefferson secured an Injunction In the civil courts restraining the committee from using a dollar of the funds belonging to the grand lodge. The matter came before the succeeding session of the grand lodge ; the old committee was discharged , the grand lodge again decided that the home should be built at Jefferson and appointed a new committee , the chair man of which resides In this city. This committee made arrangements to erect the building , which was to cost about ? 50,000 , as soon ns the spring of 18S7 opened. About this time a representative of the grand lodge who lives at Indlanola came forward with nn appeal to the sovereign grand lodge , which convenes In September at' Springfield , 111. , claiming that the ads of the first committee were binding and that hav ing made a legal contract with Indianola , a new committee could not be chosen to make another contract for a home at Jefferson. Pending- the action of the sovereign grand lodge he asked the district court to Uaue an Injunction restraining the grand treasurer from paying out funds belonging to the grand lodge toward the erection of the home at Jefferson. After a great deal of controverny a stipulation was entered Into , by the terms of which the new committee would take no ters In the matter until the sovereign grand lodice determined the appeal case. Now comes another force Into the contro versy. Several lodges In the eastern part of the state have chosen a representative to the forthcoming grand lodge upon the Issue of abandoning altogether the proposition to build a home. These lodges are preparing circulars setting forth reasons why the plan should ho killed and thcao will bo sent broadcast over the state. At previous ses sions of the grand lodge thnre has been quite an element opposed to the erection of the home , and It is anticipated that a big fight will bo the result. The grand treasurer has now In his possession about $40.000 , levied expressly for the purpo. of building this home , and If the project ls abandoned at this time a vast amount of Ill-feeling and dissatisfaction will he engendered. n KlrcH of ii Day.

The proprietors of some of the lower-cUra resorts where questionable pnctlce-a arc car ried on have , It Is reported , made threats that If Mayor Bnsor closes their places , as has been announced he v.ould do , they would force the closing of the licensed gambling houses. Mayor Ensor was naked In regaM to the ! matter last night and said that In1 had heard ) such reports.

Officials of the stock yards company were pleased at the advice from WasMnfilon re ceived yesterday In relation to the opening of a cattle trail across the Rosebud Indian agency. 'According to the agreement made at Washington a meeting will beheld at the agency on August 24 to present to the cat tlemen and others Interested the question of opening a trail live miles wide and sixty Tralllc Manager McShaiic of the Union Stock Yards company has been in Washing ton In company with Senator Allen the pasi week , when the matter was taken up with officials of the Interior department. The details of the arrangement will not be known until Mr. McShano arrives home. In case the proposed arrangement goes Into effect the cattlemen In South Dakota will be en abled to save a large sum In transportation charges. An Increase In cattle receipts a : this point will also be noticeable , as shlp- mcnto can then be made to this market In preference to Chicago. South Dakota cattlemen who have tried this market have returned homo well pleased with the prices paid here and would patronize the market moro were it not for the long distance they have to drive their stock before shipping It. Superintendent Paxton of the stock yards company said the opening of the trail would bo a great thing for South Omaha , and he was pleased to learn that the Interior de partment has raised no objection to the proposed plan. The cattlemen , ho said , were anxious for an arrangement of this kind , and her eaw no reason now why the project should not. bocarried out as planned. Two years ago W. N. Habcock , then gen eral manager of the stock yards company , made arrangements with thu officials of the Interior department for the- opening of a trail , and matters had progressed so far that maps of the trail Ijad been made and were ready to Issue. For some rearon the matter was dropped just as the order was about to be flgaed , and nothing more was done about It until a week or two ago. Ailvimce III llniiHi' lie-lit. Rents all over the city are advancing. This action has been taken by landlords since the Armour announcement. Along last winter the city was full of vacant houses and land lords were willing to rent a house at almost any price. Now that 'It Is almost Impor- flblo to find a vacant house , and the ones being erected are rented before comple tion , prices have stiffened up. This action on the part of house owners has caused a number of families to move to Omaha , where hetter accommodations can be obtained for less monsy. Qulle a number of persons llv- InR In rented houses have notified the land lords that If the rent U ralred they will move to Omaha. Very few Omaha people come down hero looking for houses , the demand coming mainly from strangers who expect to go Into business here or Intend working at the packing houses. The people who stayed right here during ths business depre'flcn and paid rent reg ularly object to being compelled to move to Omaha now on account of an Increase In rents. Strangers looking for a location are also surprised at the prices demanded for the few houses which are vacant , i Iloiimlnic Tom lloi-tur for Mlrrt'for. Friends of Thomas Hector are pushing him for the vacancy on the board of directors of the Transmlsslsslppl Exposition. At the tlmo the directors were elected Mr. Hector was a candidate and polled a heavy vote , but not enough to elect him. Thcso In ( cr eated In Mr. Hoctor's appointment say that ho will creditably represent the Magic City on the board. Mayor Ensor would not object to being appointed and his friends.-too , are hiMtllng for votes. Councilman John F.

It was reported on the Directs yesterday that the 'Martin ' Lumber company proposed commencing mandamus proceedings to com pel the city council to pay a judgment amounting to about $3,000. When a list of JudgmentH was prepared for payment at the last ee flton of the council the claim of the lumber company wa Ignored. Officials of the company feel that they ought to have their money , as It represents material ami labor ut > ed In the repairs of the two viaducts.

Probably no woman who uses Pcarlinc would take anything else , knowingly. But since Pcarlinc has become a household word , the ignorant and the careless suffer.
