Cemimcnrlng today the race meet will be
tinder the management anil control of the
directors of the t'nion ' Driving I'ark as
sociation. II. ( ! . Chapman of Sioux City ,
who engineered th meet , failed to win out
n be exnected , mid In consequence was
nimble to pay the purses that he had hung
tip. The flnalo eamu yesterday afternoon
when ,1. Hand called him to time and de
manded tlio money that his horses bail won.
Phapman tried to work n bluff , but It
failed to ( ; o , and ho was forced to throw
up his bands and assign all bis Interest
except his debts to the directors ot the
Driving I'ark association , who will con
tinue the races for the present , having
come to a satisfactory arrangement with
the owners of the hordes on the grounds.
Phapman , It now appears , came to Council
muffs with no bank account nt his back
and In the hopes of seeming enough from
the gate receipts to pay expenses and the
jmrscs. The attendance has so far been
of the slimmest , anil Chapman did not make
enough to pay running expenses , let alone
the purses.
The bookmakers and other people who
Jmvo track privileges , H Is understood ,
have paid Chapman In advance , and last
night they were n pretty mad crowd of
men. Phapman numbers among his cred
itors almost every one he had any busi
ness dealings with , ns ho had up to yes-
terd. : > paid only In promises. Attachments
were living around thick yesterday after
noon. but Chapman's only visible property
fonxlhtetl of a number of race programs ,
some stationery and a few posters. Chap
man said yesterday afternoon he would pay
every cent lie owed.
LIKe the two preceding days the races
yesterday were good and deserving of a
much larger patronage , although the crowd
was bigger than on tlio two previous days.

deemed best. In the call Issued yestenlaj

convention , the delegates representing Kant
township will reconvene for the purpono ol
nominating two justice of the peace , twi
constables , one township trustee and town
ship clerk of Kane township.
To the list of probable candidates pub
lished about a month ago there have beer
so far but few additions and there doc :
not appear to bo any eager rush on tl
part of local free sllvcrltcs for the nomina
tions. They evidently realize that It I ;
a republican year and are not willing It
put up their hard cold cash for the privi
lege of being ottered ns lambs for the sac-
rlllce this fall. For cferk of the dlstrlcl
court the nomination Is said to be Attornoj
Harvey Ouren's for the asking and he has
been so notified by the party leaders , bul
as yet ho has not consented to run. Tin :
Healy of Avoca Is said to lie second cboln
for the nomination. Joe Klein of this cltj
was mentioned a few weeks ago In cornice
tlon with this olnce , but It Is now said thai
his ambitions lie In t'he direction of count )
recorder. Alex McAmlless of Avoca ant :
W. H. Flplier. a printer of this city , ar <
also mentioned as candidates for recorder
For county auditor the only name men-
tloncr Is that of John Dinner of this eltj
and it Is said that If he is willing the nom
ination will bo his without ! opposition
Dumer himself says ho is out of politic *
so far ns running for odlcc Is concerned
but his friends are insisting that he accep !
the nomination and It Is believed that be
fore the convention ho win gracefully yield
to their entreaties. T. R. Casady Is mak
ing a Bt'rong canvass for the nomination 01
county attorney , but lias as opposing can
didates W. II. Ware of this city and Hoscoc
llarton of Avoca. John I' . Organ had been
prominently mentioned for county attorney
lint as ho Is said to have "gold standard'
opinions which are distasteful to the llry-
anltcs It is now doubtful if bis name will
conic before the convention. For members
of the board of county supervisors ! San :
Underwood , A. W. Wyman , Kugetie Stupfcl
and D. Thompson of Hoomer towishl'i ' arc
mentioned as possible candidates. Ambrose
Iluiko will seek a rcnomlnatlon for jus-lc (
of the peace and other candidates men
tioned so far are Cal Maynard , O. H. Lucas ,
W. W. Cones , Sam Ilarnett and PoHce Ser
geant Tom Comte. For constables no can
didates have as yet appealed upon the sur
face. Attorney Paul Aylesworth will prob
ably bo the nomlr.ee for township clerk.

DKS MOINI2S , Sept. S. ( Special. ) The
following letter from Camp Cuba Libre
Jacksonville , has been received here :
Wo are aware that much pressure Is belnj :
brought to bear to secure the return of tin
low.i regiments now In camp at this place
There is no reason why the people of lowi
should not feel n deep Interest In the wel
fare of the boys in the various camps
Neither is there any reason why it shouh
not be Informed about their welfare there.
Many of the Forty-ninth regiment win
created considerable dllllculty to bo musterei
into service * are now creating ns much to b (
mustered out , and that by grossly magnify
ing camp conditions and their treatment It
newspaper correspondence to their lowi
friends. According to reports of some of oni
boys Cuuip Cuba Libre is becoming a deutl
trap In which ere long all of us will bo swal
lowed up.
The city of Jacksonville contains about 30.-
000 population , which number has beer
doubled by the arrival of troops. The watei
furnished to the camp Is artesian , and I In
same ns used by the city. The deaths re
ported as having occurred In the city durlnj
August are sixty-five , and the number nmoiu
the frame number of soldiers about the same
There Is nothing remarkable in these figures
when It Is consldeied that the troops an
collected hero from twenty states under dif
ferent conditions ns to climate , and tin
manner of life. Then a largo measure o
the sickness has been caused by the Im
proper care the men have taken ot them
selves. I suppose this has been true In .il
armies , and that the same ones would hi
sick ut home by the same methods , and man ;
such had better be there than here.
The reasons as given why some desire t (
go home are numerous. Some come to ilgh
and kill , and to they want to return ns then
remains but little chance now to win laurels
Some have tired of army life and Imaglm
grave hardships which in stern reality havi
not been rxponenccd. A few have beei
characterized all along by the desire to tli
everything In a hurry. They were In a grca
hurry to come , made everything In caini
uncomfortable by their condemnation of tin
military authorities because wo were no
rushed headlong into Cuba before wo wen
half equipped , and now , like fretful schoo
boys , having no conception of the plans o
tlio master mind which Is endeavoring ti
carry to a successful finish the results of re
cent victories , condemn the army olllclali
and exaggerate imperfect conditions. Tin
nrrny life Is not a dog's life , only to bin
who has never disciplined himself or sub
Jccted himself to the discipline of others. Wi
are morally bound at least to do the na
lion's bidding , and Is it ours to say hov
great the ne < ; d Is , or to compare the presell
necessities with those of a few months ago
Or that proud Iowa , after urging upon tbi
nation the acc-'ptance of this Forty-iilnti
regiment , should now plead for Its return ?
The manner In which some of the paper :
speak of a division between the olllcers am
the men here , ns though there were i
mutiny continually , is puerile In the extreme
treme , and not nt all warranted. The offi
cers arc more wise In their reticence thai
seine of the men , and many are , so far ai
p-ersonal desires go. as anxious to go home.
The writer Is but one of many who sacrl
( Iced a lucrative ptofesslonal position to en
ter the ranks , and desires as soon as possible
to return , but nevertheless deems a shlftlni
of responsibility because of personal fccllni
ami that through misrepresentations , to hi
mustered out , no less desirable than a dls
honorable * discharge
