Many candidates have been talked of in the last few weeks , but so far none of them have developed any particular strength. The populist convention Is to ho held on the same day and at the same place , but so far the question of fusion has not been settled. It is the general opinion among the leaders of both parties in this section of the district that they will finally get together. Little if any support Is looked for from the free silver republicans this year. It is the general opinion that they will follow along with their gold standard friends and ignore the money question - tion in favor of the present administration's policy in regard to the war. But the populists are a little Inclined to be hoslilo this year. They propose to secure recognition in the convention' in one way if they can't in another. It is the present Intention to place the name of a democrat before the convention anti ask the democrats to endorse his candidacy. That is a scheme which was horn 7n Woodhury county and the man to be named Is A. S. Garretson , at one time one of Sioux City's most prominent men , but who lost all in the financial crash In 1893 , If the democrats - crats refuse to endorse him the idea of the popullsts Is to run him independently and cut all ties with the democrats. This would be a serious matter In this district , which 1n 1896 rolled up a republican majority of over 7,000 for George D. Perkins. It is the general idea in this part of the district - trict and in fact in other counties that before the convention the two parties will agree on some man or policy and that there will be no open rupture. Garrelson Is the only possibility from this county now unless A. Van Wagenen would permit his name to go before the convention , J. P. Allison and Matt M. Gray have both declined to be candidates and it leaves the field pretty well open to the other candidates. Will Wells of Alton is still talked of and the other men who have heretofore been mentioned may make a showing before the convention opens. 11o Snu Jnse Scale It ] oven. AMES , Ia ; , Aug , 3. ( Speclal-Prof. ) H. E , Summers of the Iowa experiment station , who was made stale entomologist by the last legislature and authorized to inspect all nursery stock brought into the state , says that over half of the 200 nurseries in the state have ben examined up to date , with the result that not a single piece of the Sat Jose scale has been found in them , He considers this a remarkable thing , considering - sidering the fact that In Missouri , Illinois and other adjoining states the scale has been a great pest to the nurserymen. As far as lie has carried en the inspection of the orchards of Iowa he has found them free of the scale , but his inspection has not been cprrled so far vvilh them. All nurseries in the state must bo inspected by the lath of September , The orchards will ho left until the leaves bavo fallen from the trees , which will greatly faclhtato the work. The law providing for the eradication of the San Jose scale , it found In the stale , was passed last winter after considerable opposition. It gives the state entomologist power to go into any public or private grounds in the state , where he has grounds for believing the scale exists , for the purpose of Inspection , and if lie ! Inds the scale be may establish quarantine regulations - tions on the premises , eradicate it by treatment - ment , or destroy the stock. The work is so extensive that three assistants have been put in the field and are kept busy all of the time. Kills 111. Brother.

Ho insisted that a street railway franchise , for instance , constitutes - stitutes a partnership with the city. Under past experiences , however , the city hind been unrecognized as a partner and had been allowed - lowed no consideration for its share of the joint investment , The theory of the Denver mayor is that the bills or ordinances providing - viding for street railway franchises should ho prepared by the city authorities ; that bids for the franchises should Shea ho invited - vited and the privileges be granted to the highest bidder , subject , however , la ratification - tion by vote of the citizens. Mayor McGulro of Syracuse spoke upon public water supplies and the advantages that had accrued from his city from being naturally in a position to furnish water more cheaply than any other city.
