A number of prominent republicans of this
city are arranging to attend the republican
state convention , which will be held nt
Dubuque on Thursday of next week. Their
mission will be to secure for Hon. Jacob
Sims of this city the nomination for at
torney general of thd state. Mr. Sims will
leave for Dubuque tomorrow evening , where
ho will establish headquarters Until the
convention closes. He will bo accompanied
'jy several members of the Pottawnttamle
lelegatlou and local republicans of proml-
icnco and Influence. Some of the dele
gates will leave for Dubuque Monday , while
ho remainder go Tuesday evening. A large
iclegatlon is expected to go from Council
Bluffs Tuesday night , and arrangements are
being made for a special Pullman sleeper
for the delegation that night. The delega
tion from Pottnwattamle , which was se
lected by Mr. Sims , Is conceded to be an
especially strong one , and one that will
undoubtedly exercise considerable tnlltienca
at the convention , not only from the fact
that It controls twenty-five votes , hut by
reason of the personnel of Its makeup. The
delegates are : John N. Baldwin , E. E.
Hart , I. M. Treynor , William Arnd , John
Llndt , J. J. Steadman , A. T. Fllcklnger , E.
F. Phllbrook , O. D. Wheeler , George S.
Wright , Victor E. Bender , George II. Mayne ,

Hannan. Council Bluffs ; L. F. Potter , Oak
land ; G. M. Putnam , Center ; John Jenks ,
Avoca ; W. H. Kllpack , Neola.
There arc three candidates In the field
for the nomination ot attorney general , the
present Incumbent , Milton Remley ; M. L.
Temple of Osceola , the author of the famous
Temple amendment , nnd Jacob Sims of this
city. Mr. Sims' friends are of the opinion
that his chances are of the brightest. As
far as the Pottawattamle delegation Is con
cerned no trades have been talked of , and
none will be. The delegation Is going to
the state convention solely In the Interest
ot Mr. Sims nnd not of any other candidate
for any of the other offices. One of the
leading members o' the delegation In dis
cussing the situation yesterday said he con
fidently expected Mr. Sims' nomination on
the second formal ballot.
At the state convention a chairman of the
state central committee will be selected to
succeed to II. G. McMillan , appointed United
States district attorney for the northern dis
trict. There are three avowed candidates for
the place and the contest Is likely to prove
an Interesting one. The three candidates
anxious to succeed Mr. McMillan are S. M.
Leach of Adel , member of the state com-
mlttee from the Seventh district ; Charles T.
Hancock of Dubuque , member from the
Third district , and J. P. Burrows of Cla-
rlnda , member from the Eighth district ,
whose term expires this year. The names of
II. O. Weaver of Wopcllo and N. E. Kendall
of Albla have also been mentioned In con
nection with the chairmanship. Again
there are a number of republicans who
would like to see the chairmanship again In
the hands ot Mr. McMillan , but It Is under
stood that he has declined to be considered
a candidate , as he can not devote the time
to It that It requires.
A member of the commltttee from the
Ninth district , which embraces Pottawat-
tamlo county , will also be selected at the
convention to succeed Postmaster I. M.
Treynor of this city , whose term expires this
year and who. It Is understood , owing to
the duties of his office , will not be a can
didate for re-election. Those mentioned as
candidates to succeed him from the Ninth
district on the committee are James Wil
son of Atlalr , James A. Gllmore of Stuart ,
George Pennell of Atlantic and J. A. Nash
of Audubon.
New members of the committee from the
Second , Third , Fourth , Eighth and Eleventh
districts will also be elected this year , the
five members of the committee holding
over until 1899 being : H. 0. Weaver , Wa-
pello. First district ; W. D. Lee , Toledo ,
Fifth district ; N. E. Kendall. Albla. Sixth
district ; S. M. Leach , Adel , Seventh dis
trict ; J. T. Drug. Stratford , Tenth district.
The committee In Dubuque , It Is reported ,
has made elaborate arrangements for
entertaining the delegates and others who
will be attracted there by the convention.

There Is very little probability that the
city council will recommend the use of
granite macadam as the material with which
to pave North Main street between Broad
way and Washington avenue. Mayor Jen
nings and Aldermen Casper , Metcalf and
Johnson , the special committee appointed
nt the meeting of the committee of the
I whole of the city council last Wednesday
evening , visited Omaha yesterday afternoon
and Inspected the granite macadam on Cen
ter street there. While admitting that the
granite macadam would make excellent pav
ing for the thoroughfares leading In and out
of the city , the committee does not believe
that It will exactly fill the bill for material
| with which streets In the business portion
of the city should bo paved. The Inspection
I was made at the request of certain property
j owners on North Main street who are In
favor of having the street macadamized Instead -
stead of paved. The committee will submit
Its report at the meeting of the city council
next Monday night and from the sentiments
expressed by the members yesterday It will
bo against the granite macadam and In favor
of vitrified brick , the material ordered by
the council. The trip made by the com
mittee yesterday may prove of considerable
benefit to the city In the future , as the
members are all of the opinion that the
macadam would make excellent paving for
the main thoroughfares leading Into the
city , which ore generally admitted to be In
need of considerable repair. The macadam
paving , exclusive of curbing , the committee
learned while In Omaha , can be laid for
SO cents n square yard , while vitrified brick
cost at the lowest estimate $1.38 and Trin
idad asphaltuni even more.

Mrycr Kulnlc In Court.
In the district court yesterday , on peti
tion ot Max Mohn , the administrator of the
estate of the late Mrs. Magdalen ( Meyer ,
llev. Martin J. Von , Dcrau , pastor of St.
Paul's Evangelical Lutheran church , ap
peared before Judge Smith for examination
as to the disposition ot certain property al
leged to have been placed In his hands by
Mrs. Meyer prior to her death. Mrs. Meyer ,
who had previous to her death been sepa
rated from her husband for several years ,
made a will In which he left alt of her
personal property to her children and oth
ers. Shortly before she died &ho learned
that her husband would' bo entitled to a
dower Interest In the property. She being
a member of St. Paul's Evangelical Lutheran
church sent for the pastor , Ilov. M. J. > on
Derau , and asked his advlco and assistance.
He advised her that If she desired to keep
her husband from 'having ' any share In her
property after her death she should dispose
ot It while alive. From Key. Von Dorau'a
testimony yesterday It appeared that Mrs.
Meyer confided to his care her personal
property , amounting to between $300 and
$400 , with Instructions to dispose ot It after
her death as directed In her will. This
Hev. Von Derau testified yesterday he had
done as directed.

Colonel Alexander Hogeland , the "News

Curfew Ordinance , will deliver an address
this evening at 7:30 : o'clock at the corner of
Fourth street and Broadway. His subject
will be the curfew ordinance , which In this
city of late has become n dead letter. The
curfew whistle la blown promptly at 9
o'clock , but since the present administration
went Into office the children take no notlco
of It. This was particularly noticeable at
the time the merry-go-round was running on
Broadway , when children of all ages used
to gather there and remain until well on to
midnight Colonel Hogeland will , while here ,
probably seek to have the ordinance
amended and modified somewhat BO that
children found on the streets after that
hour shall be taken to their homes by the
police Instead of to the police headquarters
and their parents notified as heretofore.
The visit of Colonel Hogeland will result , It
Is expected. In the curfew ordinance being
enforced again.

Olando Burns has returned from Santiago.
He was In the battle fought by the Rough
Riders. "Don't tell me that Spaniards can't
shoot , " Burns remarked to a friend.
"Their sharpshooters In the big trees , each
with five or six guns , mowed our men down
and picked them whenever they wanted to.
Finally we got onto them and the sharp
shooters that came down out of those trees
were the hardest looking sights you ever
saw riddled Into pieces by bullets.
"Wo took the hill , driving the enejny out
of their entrenchments. Hundreds of bodies
lay stiff and cold In death , for the trenches
| were about four feet deep and a foot and a
ihalf wide , so narrow that the men could
J not crawl out , but had to lift themselves
up with their hands , and as they were half
way out they would bo mowed down by
our Ratlings and musketry fire. Scores of
uninjured Spaniards hid themselves under
the bodies of the dead , but we pulled them
out and took them prisoners. They were
scared almost to death , for they believed
that we would kill them.
"We advanced up the hill , clad only In
trousers nnd shirts. We wore no shoes ,
stockings or hats. The Cubans followed
in our wake and stole from us all our sup
plies , tents , etc.
"It was a terrible engagement. I saw
our captain put a cigarette in his mouth
and as ho was lighting It a Spanish bullet
pierced his neck and he died soon after.
"Ham Fish was killed within fifteen feet
of me. The story of hip death as published
Is the correct one. The members of Com
pany B , nearly all.ot . _ whom are million
aire's cons , were much grieved because of
his death.
"I shall always think more of the
Spaniards than of the Cubans , for , with the
exception of the men under Garcia , none of
them would fight and after being fed by our
government would refuse to work nt the
highest wages. They are thieving , lying
scoundrels and the United States will have
to rule that Island for many years to come ,
as they are utterly Incompentent for self-
government. They stole our knapsacks ,
clothing and everything that was loose and
without the slightest compunction. "

City Cltlzetin IndnlRe In a
Foot Have with a Girl.
ORANGE CITY , la. , Aug. 26. ( Special. )
An exciting foot race between two dozen
citizens and a young woman took place
this week. Nancy Gordon tf Cherokee , nn
employe of the Nelson hotel , robbed sev
eral guests and attempted to escape when
detected. Tbo girl darted out of the door
and started on a swift run up the street.
Before the alarm was given the girl had
gone quite a distance. The landlord started
In hot pursuit and was soon Joined by
something less than fifty citizens who pride
themselves on their sprinting qualities. The
fleeing grrl ran around the lumber yard and
then across lots. The race was a very
pretty one , but the sprinters soon discov
ered that they had In the girl something
worthy of their steel , and the first heat
was decided In her favor. When the pur
suers reached the depot they discovered that
the object of their chase had taken a south
westerly course and was now well out In
the country. She went like the wind.
Barbed wire fences and creeks held no ter
ror for her. The fences were for the most
part scaled without an effort , and when she
came to the West Branch Its turbid waters
did not decrease her speed. She went on
through as though there has been no water
there. By this time she had reached the
Northwestern grade about a mlle south
west of town , and the long chase beginning
to have Its effect , she slackened her speed.
Her pursuers , coming up with her , she gave
up the chase.

pome of the squib writers to observe that

The Second district democrats straddle

"We favor the retention by the government
ot such Islands only as the wants of com
