DELEGATES SETTLE DOWN TO THE TUG
llolil Three SeaMen * mill Klnnlty Ail-
Joiirn Till Thin MnrtiliiR , When
They Will Try It
A If it 111. ,
After holding thrco sessions and casting
10'J ballots the convention of the Ninth
congressional district of Iowa failed to nom-
nato a candidate yesterday to succeed Hon.
A. L. Hager of Outbrlo county In congress.
From the Informal to the last ballot taken
.ho different delegations stood pat to their
nstructlons and when the convention ad-
lourncd last night shortly after 830 ! o'clock
: ho situation remained unchanged and the
outlook Just as problematical as at the
commencement.
Where or when the break will como none
of the candidates or the delegates venture
to prophesy , although after the adjourn
ment the Impression seemed to prevail that
the first delegation to go to pieces would
bo 'tho ' 1'ottawattamlo. This however , the
men from hero say Is not so and that they
Intend to stand by Dyers to the last. The
name of Judco Macy of Harlan bobbed up
strong again last night and It was the gen
eral opinion that It his name is presented
today ho will bo the nominee of the con
vention , which means election to congress.
The Curtis men nro not wavering and the
same can be said of the other delegates
and the situation is still as complicated as
It was before the opening of the conven
tion. A break Is hardly looked for this
morning and the delegates themselves say
they Intend standing by their candidates as
long as they tell them to do so. Some act
ive caucusing was being done at the Grand
last night and 'the ' general opinion ls that
some change will take place today , although
In what direction the change will strike
none con say.
When J. H. Wilson of Greenfield , chair
man of the congressional committee , called
the convention to order yesterday morning ,
promptly nt 11 o'clock , every seat and avail
able Inch of standing room In the superior
court room was occupied by the delegates
from the different counties and a largo
crowd of Interested spectators. Mr. Wil
son wasted no time , but at once pro
ceeded to business by Introducing Rev.
A. E. Walburn of Malvern , who opened the
convention with prayer. The reverend gen
tleman paid an eloquent tribute In the
course of his prayer to President McKln-
loy , offered thanks for the nation's victory
In arms and the establishment of peace
again. He concluded with asking a blesa-
ing on the republican party at the polls
this fall and on the convention then In ses
sion. Immediately following the prayer
Hon. Shirley Glllllland o f Glenwood was In
troduced as the temporary chairman of the
convention nnd Victor E. Bender of this
city as temporary secretary. Mr. Otllillnnd
made an eloquent address , during the course
of which ho was frequently applauded ,
much enthusiasm being shown at every
mention of President McKlnley's name or
reference to any of the 'heroes of the war
with Spain.
Turning to the present political condi
tions , the speaker saUl that the unpttylng
logic of events since 1896 has killed free
silver and that "that other pet nightmare
of the popullsttc dream , federal Interfer
ence or government by Injunction , " Is no
longer a factor to bo counted upon , for the
reason that the fellow who stands at the
switch-yard or railroad crossing now re
ceives remunerative employment and goes
to his work with as merry a heart as the
whistling farmer boy. When Bryan made
use of his distorted figure from holy writhe
ho had forgotten that the crown of thorns
was pressed down upon the brow of Christ
before his death , while Labor had been
dead In the United States for three full
years when Bryan made that speech.
( Cheers. ) Labor has , however , laid aside
Its grave clothes , rolled away the stone
from Us democratic tomb and Is once more
seen by Its followers , while the cross of
gold Is found again in shining tens and
twenties , not only on bank counters , but
In the pockets of the people. "
In conclusion the speaker said : "Who
ever may bo the proud bearer of the hon
ors of this body let him understand In ad
vance that wo expect of him the broadest
statesmanship ; that we cannU afford to be
selfish and vindictive , even wl.h those who
have done us injustice ; tr-t revenge only
repeats wrong , rarely ever rights it ; that
the great trust with which the party stands
charged , both at homo and abroad , Is higher
than any since the civil war ; that he must
help to fulfill to the people all the pledges
we have made , and thus prove to the na
tions of the earth both the art and the
beneficence of republican government when
wisely administered. "

Informal Ilnllnt Taken ,
On motion It was then decided to take
an informal ballot , which resulted : Dyers ,
48 ; Hater , 30 ; Curtis , 13 ; McPherson , 12.
Then Delccato Traver of Harrison arose
n his seat and moved that the convention
proceed to the business for which It was
here and take a formal ballot on candidate
'or concrcss and continue to ballot until
one would be nominated. This was received
with loud cheering by the Byers delegates ,
but the chairman put the motion to take
a formal ballot , leaving off the latter proviso
vise , which carried.
The first formal ballot showed no change
In the situation , and ono ballot followed
another until 126 had been taken without
effecting the slightest change In the voting
of the counties. The 126th ballot was cast
at 4:15 : , and by this time the delegates were
perspiring freely , the atmosphere of the
court room having become decidedly hot ,
and a motion to adjourn till 7:30 : o'clock in
the evening prevailed on the roll call of
the counties being taken.
The evening session produced no change
tn the voting and seventy-three ballots , ono
after the other , were cast with unvarying
monotony. After Reading Clerk Frank Ev
erest had drawled out ihe result of the
199th ballot Hon John Y. Stone , who had
previously been in consultation with the
chairmen of several of the delegations ,
moved that an adjournment bo taken until
9:30 : o'clock this morning. There was no
opposition and the convention was declared
adjourned accordingly.
Clrrkn Want to Clone Knrly.
The agitation for early closing of the
stores in this city during the summer months
Is being renewed. The Retail Clerks' asso
ciation recently organized partly succeeded
In securing the desired * object , but has failed
to Induce all the merchants to close evenings
so as to afford their help an opportunity
to visit the exposition. The following letter
on the subject was received by The Bee
yesterday from an employe of ono of the
local retail stores :
COUNCIL BLUFFS , la. , Aug. 18. To the
Editor of The Bee : Since the agitation last
spring for early clcslng the matter seems
to have been allowed to drop This Is a
question that can only be settle * ! right by
all participating. The people thought the
newly organized Retail Clcikr' association
would push It Throiigh to succ-jaa , but they
apparently have failed. If those who still
hold out cannot be Induced to entrr Into the
spirit of the movement , but will keep their
places open to grasp just one more dollar ,
at the expense of their helps' nirves and
constitutions , an effort should be made at
cnco to force them into it and hold them
up for public condemnation.
On this exposition year , when everybody is
being visited by their relatives and friends ,
It is only just that the ictall slaves should
bo allowed their evenings , and any em
ployer who cannot see toe point should be
made to feel H , There are enough hours
during a day , say from 7 a. m. to 6 p. in.
( always excepting Mondays and Saturdays )
to complete a city's business transactions
and if the public were given to understand
that during the hot summer months all
tuslncsb would clcse at C p. m. they would
get their business attended to.
Arc we not as a city big enough to drop
these- country Ideas of business hours ? Is
the Retail Clerks' association dead , or docs
it only need new officers who will complete
the work ? The public should be taught to
shun business houses who keep long hours
and compel their clerks to suffer In the man
ner outlined. There arc only two and one-
half months more of the exposition , and
many have not been able to see it yet rn
account of the insatiable greed of their em
ployers. The laborers are worthy of a rest
this summer. A CLERK.

Notrn from the Court * .
J. J. Hess commenced a replevin action
against James L. Smith to secure possession
of a horse and set of harness on which he
asserts he holds a chattel mortgage. The
suit Is a sequel to the case in Justice Vlen'e
court In which a men named John Hagwood
was charged by Smith with selling him a
horse and harness which he had previously
mortgaged to another party. Smith now re
fuses to purrender the horse and harness.
The Windsor Savings bank of Vermont
brought action against J. W. Squire , asking
that he he ordered to make a general ac
counting as between them. The suit Is a
sequel to the foreclosure action brought by
the bank against David Ratllft and others
In which Squire Is named as one of tht
defendants. In this latter case the bank
alleges that Squire , who Is trustee of the
mortgage , has not made a proper accounting
of the funds received by him as such.
County Attorney Saunders filed notice ol
suit on behalf of rotti.vvattamlo county foi

Another Revenue Ilallntr.
Ohio Knox , deputy collector of Internal
revenue of this city , received the followlnfi
letter yesterday from Commissioner of In
ternal Rcvtnue N. B. Scott :
Sir : I am In receipt of your letter ol
August 9 , Inclosing a letter from W. M

Inclosing two Instiuments and asking as tc
their taxability under the1 war revenue law

Doctor * In Conrentlon.
About forty doctors , members of the
Southwestern Iowa Medical atsoclatlon ,
gathered yesterday at the Grand hotel ,
where they held two sessions In the league
rooms. Dr. Andrew Jolly of Hamburg ,
president of the association , was present
and presided over the meeting , at which
a number of papers on subjects Interesting
to the medical fraternity were read and
discussed. The afternoon session was cut
short somewhat , as many of the visiting
medics expressed a dcslro to take In the
exposition. Dr. F. S. Thomas was the only
member from this city on the program.
IIM t'Mlwatlon ( Inm Merrily Alonir.
The Investigation by the State Doard of
Control Into the management of the Iowa
School for the Deaf goes merrily along.
The board was in session thu cntlro of
yesterday and the Investigation will last
over today and possibly tomorrow. Of the
witnesses so far subpoenaed , with the ex
ception of two , all were examined yester
day , but as far as could bo learned , noth
ing of a startling nature developed , The
general Impression Is that the Investigation
will end in smoke nnd from statements
made by the members of the board them
selves there appears to bo nothing In the
charges filed against Superintendent Roth-
crt. The following additional witnesses
were subpoenaed yesterday : Mrs. Mamie
Poole , J. B. Atkins , Mrs. Carrlo Morrlsett ,
D. H , Harlo and Max Mohn. When the
board has gotten through taking the tes
timony of these witnesses It Is understood
that .Superintendent Rothcrt will have a
number subpoenaed to show that the charges
made against him are the result of spite
work.

MASON CITY. Aug. 18. ( Special Tele-
Brain. ) At a largely attended mass mooting
held hero tonight at the Auditorium the fol
lowing resolutions were adopted and a copy
telegraphed the secretary of war and Gov
ernor Shaw :
"First Resolved , That the citizens of Ma
son City , la. , many of whom havei relatives
In company A and other companies in the
Fifty-second Iowa , receive with the greatest
satisfaction the news that Governor Shaw
and Adjutant Dyers have taken measures to
fct nro ihe icmoval of the Fifty-second Iowa
regiment further north to some healthier
camp , and we urge upon them to persist in
their efforts to secure immediate action
from the authorities in Washington , as we
learn from reliable sources that the condi
tion of the soldiers at Camp Thomas is
growing dally worse and that If there Is any
delay In carrying out these measures many
deaths will bo the result of It. To press
this matter to a hasty conclusion will bring
to our officials the lasting gratitude of our
citizens and of the mothers and fathers of
the sick soldiers In the camp.
"Second Resolved , That a copy of these
resolutions be forwarded nt once to Gov
ernor Shaw , to the War department at
Washington and to our congressmen and
senators. "
Concerned for the Soldier * .
SIOUX CITY , Aug. 18. ( Special. ) Sioux
City Is much disturbed over the reports
from Chlckamauga Park over the serious
condition of health lu the regiments en
camped at that place. Companies I ! nnd U
Fifty-second Iowa , are from Sioux City and
most of them are men from here. The
citizens have manifested considerable Indig
nation on account of the lack of proper care
for the men. Every day one of the men
comes back to Sioux City , broken In health
and showing the sad condition of affairs
at the park. The men tell harrowing tales
of suffering for Jack of proper care and
medicines. Sioux City has three doctors at
the park , but only one is assigned to duty
in the whole regiment. Word comes from
this one , Dr. V. H. Knott , that ho has
more than ho can do and that ho is about
tired out from the strain.
