After the longest nnd most remaikablo fight In the history of the Ninth Iowa con gressional district , Hon. Smith McPherson of Montgomery county was yesterday mornIng - Ing nominated by the republican congres sional convention to succeed Hon. A. L. Hager of Adalr county ns congressman from the district. The nomination came on the first ballot and was effected by the withdrawal of Mr. Hager from the fight nnd the combination ot his and Major Curtis' forces In support of Me- Pherson , The closing scenes almost bord ered upon the dramatic. The men who had favored McPherson , when they saw the vic tory wns theirs , gave vent to their pent up feelings with the loudest demonstrations of Joy , while men who day after day during the struggle had stood staunch to ex-Speaker Webb Byers , the candidate from Shelby county , now that the tension under which they had been was broken , gave way and wept tears of disappointment. As at the evening session Tuesday , the convention room was filled by a dense nnd expectant throng yesterday morning when at 0 o'clock prompt the delegates reassembled once more to take up the work of ballot ing for a candidate to represent the Ninth district In congress. The nomination of Smith McPherson was generally expected , as an nll-nlght caucus had succeeded In uniting the Hager and Curtis forces to his support. As soon as the delegates -.vero seated , Chairman Patilck instructed Reading Clerk Frank Everest to call the roll for the 619th ballot. Adalr cast Its ten votes for Hager. Audubon , which from the start had cast Its solid vote for Hager , started the break , giving seven votes to McPherson nnd one to Bycrs. As soon as quiet had been got following this announcement , Cass county passed nnd Guthrie , on being called. announced five and a half votes each for Byers and McPherson. Harrison , following Us Instructions , announced thirteen for Byers , and Mills gave ten for McPhcrson. Montgomery added twelve more for the man from that county. Pottawnttnmlo announced Its vote nineteen for Byers and six for McPherson , Delegate Sweet having switched again to McPherson. Shelby stood by Its candidate and gave Dyers its ten votes. HUT Then the scramble to climb into the Mc Pherson band wagon commenced. Adalr changed Its vote from Hager to McPherson. Cass , which had passed , announced amidst cheering fiom the McPherson men that nearly lifted the roof from the court house , that It desired to record thirteen votes for the candidate from Montgomery county. Then Harrison county , which had stood by Byers from the first , gave way and Its thir teen votes were changed to McPhcrson , and the man from Red Oak was nominated by a vote of 76' to Byers' 33U. A committee of three , consisting of Dele- sater. Traver of Harrison , Follett of Cass and Storey of Adnlr , was appointed by the chair to escort Mr. McPherson before the conven tion and to extend an Invitation also to the other candidates. Mr. McPherson on being Introduced was received by prolonged cheer- Ing. Ing.After After expressing his thanks for the nomi nation and to the other three candidates for their never falling courtesy and gen tlemanly conduct toward him during the entire struggle In the convention Mr. Mc Pherson said in uart : I desire to say at this time to you and to the people back of you that there may bo no misunderstanding ns to the canvass I pro pose to make , nnd as to my acts and votes In congress , If this nomination is ratified bj the people at the election this fall. Of all things , I want to bo clearly understood on the money question , nnd desire to emphasize my views with reference thereto. I not only stand by the St. Louis platform of two yrarj r.go , but I am absolutely and uu- etihocnlly | for the gold standard and have been nt all times since that question bccums one of public Interest. I nm for tha gold standard wi'hout reservation or further ! : plnnatlon. A scheme for the free coinage of silver , warehouse schemes , Irredeem able paper , fiat money , ai.d all kindred schemes that have been born or may hereafter be born shall never come Into my mind except as I may desire to entertain sentiments of supreme contempt. ItlKlit In Mnc with MclClulcj- . As to the present administration , I have agreed with its policy ot all times since the Inauguration of President McKlnley. I believed In him when he sought by all honorable means to avert the war with Spain. ! agreed with him when war seemed , t , be probable. In his efforts to delay It , but when nothing but war would doI have been In full sympathy with him In his untiring energy In prosecuting It to a suc cessful conclusion. I nin with him In his efforts for an honorable and satisfactory pcscc. And upon all public questions con cerning which I shall have the slightest doubts. I propose to march under the ban ners of President McKlnley. No man since Abraham Lincoln has the hearts and sym pathies nnd Judgment of the American people as he dees today , Lincoln gave free dom to 1,000,000 slaves , and William Mc Klnley today Is taking from serfdom more than 10.000,000 of our fellow human beings. I fully believe In the policy of the re publican party concerning protective tariffs , and thoioughly oudorse the reciprocity plan as taught by that great statesman , James G. Blatne. I nm In favor of all measures looking to advancement In educational matters , nnd likewise I shall endorse all legislation tending to the advancement of our moral as well ns our material pros perity. In conclusion , I again thank you for the honor of this nomination. llyiTM StaiiiU It Wi'll. At the close of Mr. McPherson's speech Mr. Byers was called for and was accorded a rousing ovation. He said : "I do not know exactly bow to look , but I know I never felt more llko going Into the battle for re publican principles than I do nt present. You gentlemen are to bo congratulated for the good cheer and feeling that has prevailed throughout the entire convention. De feat BO far as I am concerned has been robbed of Its bitterness by the fact that you hnvo selected as your , or , rather , I should say our , candidate Hon. Smith McPherson of Red Oak. " Mr. Byers then paid the suc cessful nominee a handsome compliment , his speech throughout being loudly ap plauded. Both Mr. Hager nnd Major Curtis on en tering the convention wcro likewise ac corded ovations nnd both guaranteed the suc cessful nominee their undivided support In the campaign. Mr , Hager .prophesied that Mr. McPherson could , In his opinion , re ceive the largest majority that the Ninth congressional district had ever given to Its candidate. , ' . Major Curtis , who good naturedly admitted that this was not thu first time he had b'ee'n called upon to make a speech under slm- ! liar circumstances , said ho did' not BCV why ho custom had grown Up "f nuklhR person * n the- position ho was of preaching at their own funerals.

The city council met last evening ns a committee of the whole to listen to what ever Interested property owners might have to say regarding the paving ordered laid on the following streets nnd avenues : Avenue F , from Oakland avenue to Second street ; Pierce street , from First street to Stutsman street ; First street , from Broad way to Washington avenue ; Bryant street , from Broadway to Washington avenue ; North Main street , from Broadway to Wash ington avenue ; Fourth street , from Broad way to Worth street ; Willow avenue , from Third street to Main ; Park avenue , from Broadway to Pomona ; Second street , from Broadway to Washington avenue. In deference to the wishes of a large num ber of property owners on Park avenue the paving on this street will be postponed for a year. John Allies and Dr. Patton addressed the committee at length with regard to tha pav ing of North Main street and requested that the aldermen before deciding on brick go to Omaha and Inspect the granlto macadam on Center street , which they both considered would bo the best material to use on Main street. Mayor Jennings appointed Aldermen Casper , Johnson nnd Metcalf as a committee to Inspect the Omaha paving and report at the meeting of the council next Monday evening. ' Fourth street was ordered cut oilt of the resolution providing for brick paving , as Drs. Jennings and Hanche ' t'presented a. pe tltton from n majority of 'Xbuttln'g property owners reprebentlng a frontage of over 2,600 feet , requesting that the street bo 'ordered paved with asphalt. Dr. P. J. Montgomery was on hand with another petition of Inter ested property owners representing some thing over COO feet frontage , asking that no material except hard burned brick be used to pave the street with. Another resolu tion calling for the paving of the street with asphalt will have to be Introduced and specifications for such paving drawn up by the city engineer before the street can now bo ordered paved by the council. There being no objections as to the other streets , the committee will recommend that they be paved with brick at the meeting of the council next Monday night. Only 12c for cod fish at Sullivan's.

No less than four conventions are billed to meet today In the county court house , the democratic and populist conventions of the Fifteenth Judicial district and the democratic and populist conventions of the Ninth con gressional district. Present indications are that all four will be decidedly tame affairs , ns there Is no eager rush on the. , part ot members of either party to be offered up as lambs for the slaughter this fall. The disciples of free silver will hold their conventions In the superior court room , while the populists will assemble In the Farmers' hall In the basement. There is a -strong probability that the populists will re frain from going through the fornlnllty of putting any candidates In nomination , but will endorse those made by the democrats.

( Special. ) \Vhllu the Indications arc In the state thai the corn crop will be short as compared with last year , the fact remains that farmers of this state have llttlo to complain of. An expert , who has Just traveled over the state- views the situation thus : A very few early planted and well culti vated fields are now covered with the most promising growing corn that we Imvo scoi for years. Crops have been rotated 01 those fields of central Iowa for severa years , this year's crop was cultivated carl > and late , the soil Is now In good tilth , the growing crop Is of splendid color , nnd the occasional rains and dews are keeping It In good growing conditions. Adjoining fields have grown cirn year after year and had poor cultivation every year , or grew oats or some other crops last year and have had poor cultivation this year The result Is that the ground Is hard ant dry In such poorly managed and badly cultivated fields , the corn Is spindling am yellow , In many cases the weeds are nearlj as high , 'as the corn , and the owners o those fields will nearly all be howling against the government before the corn gathering season Is over. The corn fields of this region need rain , but the well culti vated fields will produce good crops of con if not another drop of. rain falls before the corn Is ripe. Pastures are beginning to show the eitec of dry weather , but the farm stock are li splendid condition. The much howled nbou May and Juno rains have proved to be about the best blessings of the year to the well cultivated and well managed farms o this region , for they stored the earth with moisture for the growth of good crops whcr ever the crops haVo. had good cultivation ' Potatoes , gardens' ana all other crops wnl cultivated are making good growth , nnd the oat fields beaten'down by the storms am plowed under several weeks ngo now pre sent the Ilvui5 ( green as vigorously as dur Ing the early spring eason. That fact als pro\es the benefit of culture and kecplm the ground loose and porous , for the oa fields plowed under soon after harvest are now soft and nearly all the rain Is absorbei as It falls , while on the hard ground th rain runs off and ground of that charade Is as dry and hard a few hours after a goo ( rain as It was before the rain began to fall The coming successful farmer will mak every effort to keep the soil of his field soft and porous during nil the months whei the ground Is not frozen. The fruit crops are aa varied as the corn fields. Some farmers will have good crop of plums nnd apples , but the majority wll have neither. There Is much and genera complaint that the apples are falling from the trees , mainly because of the work o worms. The worm enemies of the farmer seem to bo Increasing every year , few o I them take the trouble to spray their tree 1 at the proper seatons nnd the great ma Jorlty of all farmers have never learner how to grow fruits succeesfully. noin PLAN TO AA'OID THovni.E Daring- Scheme in EKCHIIC from ni nmlinrrnflMluir Situation. DUBUQUB , la. , Aug. 24. ( Special. ) Sev eral weeks ago Henry D. Nixon , a wel 1 known railroad man here , was bathing In the river with- several companions , when h suddenly threw up his hands in mid-stream and with a scream disappeared. Immedlat stops were taken to recover the body of th "supposed drowned man , but without avail Nbw 'the' story is generally circulated thn NDcon 'Was not drowned , but merely re 'sorfed to a daring plan to escape what'ap ' pears to bo rather un Interesting situation While ho apparently did drown , It Is sale ho was an expert swimmer and there Is possibility ho might have dove to the bank Parties In the vicinity have acted suspicion when questioned , and there Is a belle among Nixon's friends that either thep parties have his body hid waiting for a nig ! reward , or that they helped him escape It develops that Nixon wns In troubl here with a woman , In fact two women , am that from this or some other cauae , he wa very much worried. In fact some of h ! ' fellow workmen say that he had been actln strangely for some time. The story told b . him that his wife was In a hospital In Chi ' cage was proven untrue when she cam i here. She had never been In a hospital , bu was at her homo In Lafayette , Ind. H I j stated that besides two women In Dubuqu who were Interested In Nixon , there wa another In Oelweln.

MANY OBJECTS OF INTEREST TO PUBLIC rrniliictH of Orchard , Fnrin , OnriliMi mid Vineyard HUIIKU Alone ; tilth II Ui of Feminine Ilnnillnorlc and Vnlualilu HcltcM of I'nut. The fruit growers nnd farmers of 1'otta- wattnmle county , In. , are beginning to show the products of their orchards , vineyards and farms. Instead of going Into the Horticul ture and Agriculture buildings , they are making their display In the "Wigwam erected by the enterprising citizens of Council Bluffs on the Bluff tract and which Is ono of the attractions of the exposition. Superin tendent A. C. Graham of Council Bluffs , In charge of the Wigwam , says the exhibit Is in its Infancy nnd as the season advances ho will put up something that will be a credit , not only to the county , but to the whole state. At this time Pottawattamle county Is showing twelve varieties of grapes , fifteen of plums , tci ( of apples , several of peaches and pears , together with about every kind ot vegetable known In the noith temperate zone. This exhibit Superintendent Graham promises will be kept right up to date and the tables will bo changed as the occasion demands. Ono thing about the exhibit la that nothing Is shown that is not raised In the county. The farmers are taking a deep Interest in putting up a fine display and have promised to keep the booths and tables supplied with the choicest that the soil vvlll produce. In addition to the fruit and vegetables , the Wigwam contains a rare collection of treasures , all of which have been contrib uted by the people of Council Bluffs and vicinity. In this connection there Is nothing more Interesting than a book printed In London In 162S. The title Is "Seven Golden Candlesticks. " It Is owned by Hev. II. VentIng - Ing of Council Bluffs nnd , notwithstanding the title , It treats of religious topics. While the contents of the book may prove Interest ing , the cover Is oven moro so , as there is a certificate that goes along to furnish proof that It Is made of human skin. Who the Individual was who some 270 years ago furnished his or her cuticle to cover the book , deponent sayeth not. If it Is human skin that is used to cover the "Seven Golden Candlesticks , " the party furnished a good quality of leather , as It is as firm and solid as though It were put on yesterday , with the exception of on the corners , vfhlch are somewhat worn. The covering of the book Is as transparent as parchment and has much the same appearance , only It Is thicker and much less flexible. This alone , book binders say , is objectionable nnd they ven ture the opinion that human skin will never be used to any great extent as a covering for books. If there Is ono collection that attracts moro attention than anotherIt Is that of Mrs. A. C. Graham.

This map la-about eight feet long nnd four feet wide and Is made of cloth , put together after the style of : i patchwork quilt. Each county Is represented with a certain colored pleco of cloth , cut to show the particular shape ot the county. The principal towns , all of the rivers and railroads are shown by the lines being worked In colored silk. To complete this map required the work of two years. While It has very little intrinsic value , several museum owners have offered to purchase It and as much as $1,000 has been ottered. Any number of paintings and speci mens of ceramic work grace the walls of the parlors of the Wigwam. They are all the handiwork of the women of Council Blulfa and have been loaned for the occa sion. There Is one picture , outside of the general collection , that proves ot great In terest. It is owned by A. S. McCreary nnd was painted years ago by a Mr. Simmons , who resided in Council Bluffs. It Is a paint ing showing tha metropolis of western low.i as It appeared In 1S53. Instead of the brick and stone buildings , the elegant homes and the paved streets of today , there is a low ot small houses , built along and parallel to Indian creek. The hills behind the frontier town are covered with trees and the dozen houses along the creek are nearly all Inclosed by stockades. Several Indian tepees are further down the creek. vvhllo In the streets of the town arc some white men. but a much greater number of Indians , clad In gay colored blankets. Tv o Mii'lelli-N ClilNh.
