At a meeting' yesterday morning of the
hardware dealers of the Btnte the Iowa He-
tal Hardware Dealers' association was or-
ganircd. P. C. DoVol nnd II. A. Cole , both
of this city , were elected president and
secretary respectively of the new organlza-
Hon. It had nt llrst been Intended only to
form a temporary organization nt this meet
ing , but when the dealers got togc'ther It
Mas decided best to place the association nt
once on a permanent footing. The vice
president nnd other officers will bo named
later , as will an executive committee con
sisting of seven members to bo selected
from dealers throughout the state.
At this meeting It was decided to call an
other state mcetlm ; to be held the second
Wednesday In February at some city to bo
selected by the executive committee near
the central part of the state. The various
phases of the work and object of the as
sociation were taken up and discussed among
the number being the competition offered
by the department stores.
The stove trade was also brought up for
discussion , especially in regard to the mat
ter of goods being sold on the Installment
plan by agents and peddlers , which-the re
tailers assert works an Injustice both to
their trade nnd the public.
The question of forming combinations on
prices among local dealers throughout the
state to prevent cutting rates on staple
articles was brought up , and after consld-
crablo discussion It was unanimously de
cided that It was not the purpose or Idea
underlying the organization of the associa
tion to foster such.
Another subject that came up for discus
sion was the question of advertising. H was
the unanimous opinion of the convention
that advertising pays , and the best methods
of getting the most out of the money ex
pended for this purpose came up for Its
share of consideration. Unjust classifica
tions of goods as between local and car ship
ments was another crying evil that was
found to demand attention. It was also
shown that by the spirit of cd-operatlou ex
isting among dealers In towns adjoining ,
thousands of dollars could be baved every
year by co-oporatlon along the lines of com
bining shipments so as to got car rates , in
stead of local rates of freight , as has al
ways been the case.
Various lines of goods which are recog
nized as poorly made and of off grades cane
In for their share of attention , and It Is
proposed that after the February meeting
thcso Items shall bo referred 'to the propri
committees and an effort made to have the
manufacturers bring them up to the- stand
ard quality which will do away with this
state of affairs.
A paper on the question of hardware cred
its and the best way to collect and prevent
making bad accounts was read by H. A.
Cole and thoroughly discussed , as were sev
eral other questions of practical moment ,
the discussion being participated In with
much Interest by all the dealers present.
Secretary Cole read a number of letters
that ho had received from dealers all over
the state who In expressing their regret
at being unable to be present at the meetIng -
Ing offered their hearty co-operation and
desired their names to bo placed on the
membership roll. Following the meeting
several of the members , some of whom were
j accompanied by their wives , spent the aft-
( toiuioon nnd evening taking In the exposition

Wallace n. Moffet , superintendent of the
public schools nt henox , la. , who , with his
wife und family , has been visiting the ex
position , has mysteriously disappeared. The
last seen of him was about 5 o'clock
Wednesday afternoon in this city , since
which all trace of him has been lost. H Is
feared that he may have suffered a sunstroke -
stroke and become demented and wandered
.away , or possibly met with foul play. Mr.
Moffet , accompanied by-his wife and three
children , has been stopping for several days
past with a idative , H. W. Spaldlng of COO
South Fortieth street. Omaha , while visiting
the exposition. Wednesday afternoon he
came to Council Illuffs for the purpose of
vUitlng W. A. Oronewcg nnd family of 210
Frank street , Mrs. Groneweg being a rela
tive of Mrs. Mofict. As ho did not return
to Omaha yesterday morning his wife be
came anxious nnd Mr. Spaldlng came to this
city to make Inquiries.
It was learned that the missing man had
never been near the Groneweg residence ,
neither had they seen or heard anything of
him. Mr. Spaldlng at once placed the mat
ter In the hands of the police , but up to a
lat hour last night no trace of the missing
man could be got. It was learned , however ,
that about G o'clock Wednesday afternoon
ho got oft the car from Omaha at the corner
of Klghth Btreet and IJroadwny and made
Inquiries nt J. H. Pace's meat market as to
the direction in which Mr. Oronewcg lived.
Ho was Informed nnd the last seen of Mof-
frt he was going east on Broadway on the
south side of the street. This wn3 about 5
o'clock , Jst one hour after ho left Omaha.
As far as Is known the missing man had
only a small sum of money with him. The
tlmo limit on his return ticket to Lenox ex
pired jcsterday morning and the family
bed made all arrangements to return homo
at that time.

The dead body of Lara IJeckgaard , an Itin
erant harness mender , was found nt an
early hour yesterday morning by residents
of Boomer township lying In the road with
his face downward and burled In the deep
dust. The place where the body was found
Is close to the boundary line between Hni-
rlson and Pottnwnttnmlo counties , Near by
was the cart and pony belonging to the dead
man , the animal quietly grazing by tlio
roadside. The body being seven feet within
the county line was taken charge of by Jin-1
tlco of the Peace John Ounnctte , who with-
out notifying Coroner Jennings acted as
coroner and held an Inquest over the re
mains. The Jury found that death was due
to natural causes and the body was later
brought to this city to Undertaker Estep's
establishment where It was prepared for.

Beckgaard , who was 60 years of ago , Is
not known to have had any relatives In this
part of the country nnd J. C. Baker , deputy
sheriff , was appointed administrator of his
estate by Clerk Reed of the illxtrlct couit ,
who took charge ot the dead man's effects.
Ho will dispose of them nnd the procueJs
will bo used to defray the nxpenscs of his
burial. In the dead man's pockets were found
$10.05 In cash and his other property con
sisted of the pony nnd cart , several pieces
of harness and tools.
It Is thought that Beckgnard must have
been affected by the heat and tumbled from
his wagon and his face being downvvaid
smothered to death In the thick dust of the
road.

The city council finally came to a de
cision regarding 'tho paving of Washington
avenue at the adjourned meeting held last
night. It wns decided to pave that portion
of the avenue from the center of the Inter
section of Harrison street to the west line
of Frank Btreot , this embracing all that
part that has never been paved. This
action was taken on the understanding with
the properly owners that contracts would
not be let or the work commenced until next
spring unless a majority of the Interested
owners petitioned for the paving to be laid
this fall. The action of the council appeared
to settle the matter to the satisfaction of
both the piopcrty owners , who wanted pavIng -
Ing and those who filed remonstrances
pgalnst It. V
Tenth avenue from the west line of Main
street to the east line of South Sixth street
was also ordeted paved.
The property owners on Stutsman street
between Broadway nnd Pierce filed a re
monstrance against the contemplated pav
ing of their portion of the stieet In conJunction -
Junction with the paving of Pierce street
(
between First and Stutsman streets. They
suggcBted Ihat the paving on Pierce street
be abandoned until the grade Is changed.
After considerable discussion the remon
strance was placed on file to bo taken up
when the resolution calling for the pavln ?
of these two streets is presented before the
council , which will be at the regular meetIng -
Ing next Monday.

yesterday , hired a carriage nnd drove out
to Mr. Hess' place for the express purpose ,
as he told Mr. Hess , of seeing where such
beautiful fruit could bo grown. He said they
were the finest Niagara grapes he had ever
Eccn and was greatly surprised to learn they

DUBUQUE , la. , Sept. 1. ( Special Tele
gram. ) Today's republican state conven
tion approved the national administration
In the strongest terms. The speeches and
platform were full of this approval and the
1 sentiment of the convention vvas unani
mously that way. While Major I accy , tem
porary chairman , sounded the keynote , Sen
ator Allison , permanent chairman , In his
i speech , undoubtedly voiced the views of the
j administration. The platform did not go
as far In the matter of annexation and pol
icy toward conquered territory , but no open
objection was uiado to the resolutions as
.presented and they were unanimously
. adopted. The only exciting event vvas In
the contest for railroad commissioner. J. U.

j Sammls of Plymouth undoubtedly had a
j '
majority when the roll call was finished ,
i
but before the result vvas announced the
friends of Welcome Mowry of Tama county
succeeded In stampeding the convention and
captured the nomination. Charles T. Han

the state central committee without oppo
sition. The convention of 1899 will bo held

greatest enthusiasm. Senators Allison and

Cousins , Lacey , Hepburn , Updegraft , Gover
nor Shaw nnd ex-Governor Drake were on
the stage and each wns given a warm re

Before the convention district caucuses
were held nnd members of the \arlous com
mittees selected. In the Fourth district
only \\as there any serious rupture. Here
Blytho nnd Updcgraft forces contested for
commlttcemau , the congressman losing nt
every point.
Convention hall vvas a mass of flags and
sentiment patriotic In proportion. Singing
of "Battle of Manila" created immense en
thusiasm.
Hon. John F. Lacey , temporary chairman ,
said , in part *
Not since the "era of good feeling" In
the early days of the century has party
feeling run so low and national patriotism
risen so high. Never In all our history
| I have the American people been so sincerely
nnd thoroughly united In the bonds of
t
brotherhood. Thcro Is too much honor In
I being n citizen of the republic for any one
i to wish to leave the union. Never has
| ' there been n more earnest and honest pride
than that which is shown today when one
J c of our people says' "I am an American
| citizen. " Now Is an era of good will and
. general reconciliation , the past Is remem
bered only with gratitude nnd pride. All
I Its bitterness Is burled nnd every man. with
out regard to politics , may cheer an adminis
tration that Is strong and respected alike
at home nnd abroad.
We love peace , but the war wan woith all
that it cost in treasure and blood. H has
shown that we were more united than we
had believed. It showed that political ran
cor after all vvas only skin deep , and that
when the Spaniards scratched either n
Woodford or a Lee , a Shatter or a Wheeler ,
ho found n patriot. If , In fact , any seeds
of the old-time bitterness remained they
I have been buried in the forests of Cuba
and Porto Illco , or drowned in the waters
1 of Santiago and Manila.
This year , above all others , Is one when
men who have nothing to say about our
country but words of depreciation and
calamity must either learn to sing a now
song or ho silent. The people are In no
humor to listen to thrm. In other words ,
this Is a republican year.
AVimU'il , n Cirict mice.
We are called upon , however , to again
discuss the old Issues of protection and
sound monej' , notwithstanding the develop
ments and evidences which have deprived
these questions of much of their Intelerl
by making them too obvious for extended
discussion. What our opponents really need
is a grievance. If they point to present
conditions , the conditions rise up to refute
them. If they Indulge in prophecy we re
call that they were false prophets of evil
lu 1S9G. No wonder they seemed embar
rassed In their seaich for trouble.
Protection now seems assured from being
actively assailed for some years to come ,
The Wilson bill experiment Is too recent ,
nnd Its disaster too dire , to encourage any
! party In taking up its Ideas again as a na-
j tlonal Issue , at least until it has become
' sufficiently forgottten by the sufferers , who
now txi keenly remember Its effects.
The fiscal year which closed July 1 , 1S98 ,
' Is an Instructive and encouraging one. The
Wilson bill vvas dead , the silver Issue was
In the hospital and the Dlngley bill was
In active operation. The results are gratify
ing to overjbody except those who happen
to bo running for otllco upon the silver fu
sion ticket.
Wo attribute the Improved conditions to
two things above all others the return
of u fair nnd reasonable degree of protec
tion to American Industries , thus removing
the cause that drove so many of our man
ufacturing establishments to curtail their
production , and the eflect of the election of
.McKlnley In ISliS , relieving all buslncsss
fiom the threat Involved In the adoption of
the Asiatic silver standard , which would
have been the necessary consequence of the
free coinage of silver.
The owl may hoot and hoot , but the night
of depression has passed away.
The progress of the south in this era of
general reconciliation Is especially pleasing.
Under the wisdom of the republican national
policy the south Is taking Its true place In
the race of progress.

was much cheering when thu senator arose ,
the demonstration exceeding that of any be
fore. The senator said in part
Two years ago this fall wo elected Hon.
William McKlnley as president , ( long con
tinued applause ) . I have heard of no man
In this state who Is sorry of that. The af
fairs In this country of ours during these
years have been managed by him and his
cnh'net ' with a facility and with a single
purpose of patriotic efforts In a way to fully
mctil the approbation of the American pee
ple. We have seen what I have never been
before In a long service In the councils of
my co'-intr } ' . vote after vote cast during the
last session of congress giving the unan
imous support of the representatives of the
country to this great nnd good man and his
administration. We have trusted the presi
dent nnd his advisers. We have trusted tha
congress of the United States In this emer
gency nnd they have met every require
ment with n patriotism that should receive
the thanks of the country. By the protocol
of August 12. a war has been suspended and
the results of that war In part achieved , and
wo have selected through our great president
the commissioners who nro to deal with the
remaining questions of the war. As these
questions have been dealt with In the past ,
they will bo dealt with In the future wise
and patriotic In the Interests of the 73-
000,000 people of this country.
Senator Allison concluded with a high
tribute to Governor Shaw and the state ad

The platform was then rend and adopted.
It Is In part as follows.
Wo congratulate the country upon the
nnd patilotlc administration of Presi
dent McKlnloy nnd we regard tbo measures
and policies thereof ns the cowcct expres
sion of republican statesmen , and espe
cially do wo commend the course during the
war with Spain , his wisdom nnd forlwaranue-
in seeking n peaceable solution of the Cuban
question before resorting to arms , while at
the feamo tlmo prudently preparing for war ,
and when circumstances finally made arm d
Intervention neccesary his vigor and energy
in prosecuting the war. The experience of
the last two years has fully approved th-3
gold standard policy of the republican party
as declared by the national convention of
189C.
189C.Wo
Wo recognize the necessity of comprehensive
hensive- and enlightened monetary legisla
tion. The monetary standard of this country
and the commercial world Is gold. The
permanence of this standard must bo as
sured by congressional legislation giving to
It vitality nnd validity of public law. All
other money must bo kept nt a parity with
gold. Our money , llko our Institutions ,
should bo maintained equal to the best In the
world. On this plank wo Invite the support
of all voters who desire honesty and stabil
ity In business affairs , and an immediate and
permanent settlement of the question of the
standard of value.
The policies of reciprocity and protection
are reaffirmed and such changes In the pres
ent revenue law as experience may from
tlmo to tlmo dictate or changed conditions
demand are commended. The platform con
tinues : (1
Dfiiiiuiil mi Atlfiiinl | < - INn\y.
Wo favor the upbuilding of the American t
merchant marine , the upeedy construction of t
the Nlcnragunn cannl , the srcurlng of naval
nnd coaling stations nnd the protection of
American rights In every quarter of the
world , with an adequate navy.
The republican party under whose policies
and administration prosperity has been re
stored and a foreign war successfully con
ducted , has earned the right to be further
entrusted with the task of solving the tprrl-
torlal. colonial and commercial problems
that have risen froin the war
It Is due to the cause of humanity and
civilization for which the war was fought ,
that no people who have In conKequcnce
thereof been fr < > ed from prosecution hall
with the consent or through tha Indlfferenra
of the United States bo returned to such op-
