As Minister Conger approaches his home
state, speculation Increases as to his prob
able attitude with respect to tho governor
ship matter, and bis remarks as quoted In
newspaper Interviews have had a tendency
to cause chills to chase themselves up and
down tho backs of most of tho candidates
In the Held. Some, local politicians fully
expect to sen him announce his willing
ness to take the ofllce If his entry Into the
stato and tour from this city to Dcs
Moines should provoke a popular demon
stration In his behalf. In other words, the
feeling Is that If Major Conger sees on his
arrival In tho stato that tho announcement
of his willingness to take the office would
tlkely he followed by anything like n unan
imous decision In his favor, such an an
nouncement may bo expected.
A discouraging fact to this sort ot pro
gram is that on Snttirdny, on the very eve
of tho arrival of Mr. Conger, his homo
county, Polk, the homo also of A. II. Cum
mins, by Its primnrles, declared practically
unanimously in favor of tho lattcr's cnndl
dacy, but It Is argued that with a stampedo
to Conger, covering a large portion of the
state. Mr. Cummins nnd tho Polk county
folks would themselves soon climb Into the
band wagon. Practically everything seems
to depend on the degree of enthusiasm with
which Major Conger Is received on his ar
rlvnl In tho state.
Tho reception to bo tendered Mr. Conger
hero will In no senso bo a boom for him
for tho governorship, ns nil of tho now
candidates for governor have been Invited
to tho banquet, Including Hon. (leorge D.
Perkins of Sioux City. Hon. John Herrlott
of Guthrie Center, Hon. A. I). Cummins of
Dcs Moines and Hon. Sidney A. Foster of
Dcs Moines.
Committee Med Today.
The general committee having charge of
the arrangements for the reception to Min
ister Conger, together with all sub-commit-tees,
will meet In tho city hall this after
noon nt 3 o'clock to complete details for
receiving tho minister nnd party, and for
entertaining the multitude of people that
will bo drawn to the city by tho eveut.
There Is little that has not already been
decided upon as to the general character
of thn affair, but since It has become set
tled that Mr. Conger will arrive Wednesday
morning and remain hero all of that day,
tho final details for the carrying out of tho
plnn accordingly will bo arranged.
The Des Moines people havo given up the
idea of getting Major Conger to their city
earlier than 10 or 11 o'clock Wednesday
night, nnd have accordingly arranged to
give him a reception there on the following
day, nnd will come . to Council IUuffs
Weilncsday nnd Join In the festivities hero
for that day. I. M. Treynor, secretary of
the general committee, has received a re
quest from tho Des Moines delegation for a
largo reservation at tho banquet table, but
owing to the limited number that ran bo
accommodated and the largo number of
responses already received to Invitations
sent out, Mr. Treynor Is unable to advlso
the Des Moines folks just how many of
them can he admitted lo the banquet.

Tho controversy over the paving question
In the Fourth ward Is apt to mako Itself
prominent again at the adjourned meeting
of the city council tonight. Unable to
decide between the advocates of brick and
asphaltum, the aldermen have for a long
period let the matter slip by time after
time, whllo tho decay of tho old cedar
blocks goes on and the streets In the dis
trict in question become moro nearly Im
passible dally. It hnB reached that stage
now where the friends of cither material
declare that If they can't have what they
want they won't havo anything, nnd to far
the council has been unable to offer a solu
lion. Another matter that will como up is tho
question of the city's authority to require
property owners to put In sower Inlets
along streets that nro about to be paved.
It Is the desire to have this work done
before the paving Is put In, so that It will
not have to bo dug up at Intervals after
ward, but as, In case of a vacant lot,
thcro Is no benefit from tho sewer. Tho
city's authority to order the connections
Is disputed. Acting City Attorney Paul C.
Aylcsworth, to whom the matter was re
ferred, Is to advise the council this evening.

better coal for thn Irannnnrln n'l.lM,
at Nagasaki, and has been Instructed to
ascertain which Is the best coal to bo found
in Japan and contract for n continuous sup
ply for the transports. The Jnnnncs coal
Is not the best, but It Is found to bo tlm
most economical that enn be used. It coats
about $ per ton, whllo Australian coal
taken to Nagasaki nnd resold costs nbout
$12 per ton, owing to the high duty placed
upon coal by Japan In tho Interest of hir
own coal fields. The great drawback to '.ho
japaneso coal is the fact that It contains
too much sulphur, nnd Instead of tho com
bustion occurring In the furnace It nf(.-n
goes Into the pipes and Is very destructive
to tnai portion of the boilers. Much of
the repairing that has been found necessary
to the army transports has been about the
boilers, which have been damaged by
Japanese coal. At tbe same time, owing to
me great cost ot coal brought from Aus
tralia, It Is founil more ecnomical to nso
tho Japanese coal than to pay the higher
price for the Australian product.

ROCK ISLAND'S INDEPENDENT ATTITUDE
Refuses lu Turn lluslnrim (lirr to Vvn
Molncs t'uloii Trnilrn fur llrnclU
of Prlvnlo r.utcrprlM Mut
ter iel Into Polities.
DES MOINES, April 2S. (Speclnl.)-A
prolonged controversy between the Rock
Islnnd Railroad company and tho Des
Moines Union Railroad company over the
matter of switching curs of stock for the
benefit of a private stock yards threatens
embarrassment to the state railroad com
mission, tho new owners ot the packing
house and the business men of Des Molnos.
Some years ago J. F; Vincent of Peoria es
tablished a small stock yards In Dcs Moines
na a transfer stntlon for his larger bus
iness In Illinois. The officials of tho Rock
Island nnd Mr. Vincent had some dllllculty
nnd the railroad company refused to trans
fer stock to tho Des Moines Union railroad
tracks to ho tnkeu to Mr. Vincent's yards.
Vincent went before tho railroad com
mission to securo an order to tho Hock
Island that his yards should be recognized
ns a public yard. Tho commission heard
testimony for both sides and read extended
prnlted arguments. It was admitted, so It
Is claimed, that tho Vincent yards were 11
private entcrprlso for tho benefit of the
owner and not nt all n public yard. Under
the clrcunistunccs the commission reached
the conclusion It waf, unable to do anything.
Under a strict construction of tho Iowa
Inw tho Rock Island could not bo compelled
to turn business over to another railroad
company for tho benefit of an Individual.
Thcro tho matter rested n long time, but
the controversy was taken up by commit
tees of Dcs Moines people and tho commis
sion was urged to use Its lnllucnco to bring
about a change ot policy. Tho commhslon
has mndo two trips to Chicago especially
to take up this matter with the Hock Island
olllclals. They urged that while ns a matter
of lnw tho company might not be under
obligation to do business with Vincent It
would be good policy to make a compromise
and settle tho controversy.
No encouragement was received until n
few days ago, when It was announced that
tho yards had been sold to tho Agnrs, now
owneri of tho packing house, when the
Rock Islnnd people evinced a willingness
to concede tho demands. Tho commission
Is laboring to have tho matter settled with
out resort to an order or to drastic meas
ures, nnd lu fact. It Is doubtful It the com
pany could be compelled to tako action.
At any rate. It Is tho view of the person!
Interested that any effort to compel the
Rock Island to comply with tho demand
would bring on n lawsuit and two or three
years of litigation.
Hut this week a new phase of tho ques
tion Is to bo presented to the commission
In tho form of n demnnd by a committee
ot ths i!H Moines Commercial association
that the commission rendor n decision In
tho coso as soon ns possible. This Is a
somewhat unusunl procedure, but public In
terest in tho case has bcon growing since
the reopening ot tho packing house.
Tho Dcs Moines people, desire that the
yards rhall be mado a public affair and not
for prlvnto use. In the' meantime the case
is getting Into politics arid tho railroad
commission Is under various forms of accu
sations for neglecting to render a decision
In the case.
The democratic stntc committee, nt Its
meeting Inst week, informally considered
tho advisability of Inserting n plank In the
state platform this year declaring for the
entire abolition of tho railroad commission
because of this nnd other cases which have
como to the notice of tho public.
Tmo CiiiMliiliiten from One Cnuiily.
Tho completed returns from the prlmnry

A cull has been Issued for a reunion of
tho survivors ot tho VIcksburg campaign,
by Captain J. F. Merry of Dubuque, chair
man of tho committee, tho reunion to bo
In connection with tho department en
campment of tho Orand Army of the Re
public nt Dubuque, Juno i, 5 nnd C, The
call states tbnt there Is a prospect that this
will bo tho largest reunion held in many
years and "In view of this, it seems fitting
nnd opportune that during tho encamp
ment there should bo a reunion of tho sur
viving members of tho VIcksburg cam
paign, tlmt all may be advUcd ns to tho
present status ot tho national military
park, now In process of construction at
VIcksburg, It would also be Interesting
If all tho Iowa organizations that partici
pated In tho siege of VIcksburg would hold
for an hour regimental reunions, at which
tho commissioners, appointed by tho gov
ernor to locnte the site of tholr respective
regiments or batteries, could bo present
nnd report as to tho trip, and tho success In
fixing the exnet spot whoro their respective
regimental monuments should bo placed.
Tho object of this circular Is to nrouse
an Interest among tho comrades, who nre
especially Interested In VIcksburg, nnd who
will bo glad to learn what Is being done
by the government to commemorate that
wonderful siege, which Is now recognized
the world over ns not only tho most re
markable military achievement, but tho
most Important event of tho civil war."
Thero were thirty or moro of tho Iowa or
ganizations that participated In the Vlcks
burg campaign. Tho VIcksburg commission
has recently ndopted doslgns for monu
ments marking tho battle linos, A great
many of tho survivors of these various or
ganliatlons nro still living In Iowa, Ne
braska and other western Btates, and tho
meeting at Dubuque promises to bo 11 me
morable one.

A grtat deal of effort has been mado to
sensationalize tho recent divorce ot Mie.
Herron from her husband, the "Christian
socialist." A statement has been widely
published that tho contemplated trial of
Prof. Herron for Immorality would bo pre
vented by tho fact that the papers In 'he
case had mysteriously disappeared from the
court files nt Algona, or had been stolen.
It now turns out that tho papers have aot
disappeared. They weto In the hands of inr
of tho attorneys In tho case for a few days
nnd were returned. It has also been stated
that Mrs, Herron received a large sum of
money from Miss Rand, the amount being
placed ns high ns $100,000. This Is also de
nied by Mrs. Herron. It Is probable that
the meeting of the Congregational associ
ation this week at Uaxtcr, In., will take
sonic steps requesting the church nt Grla
noil, with which Prof. Herron was identi
fied, to tnko steps to review his conduct
and act accordingly, but no definite pro
gram hns been outlined.

beer is the beer of civiliza
tion. Go to any part of the
earth where mankind values
purity, and you will find
Schlitzbecristhe recognized
pure beer.
For fifty years the Schlitz
agencies have followed
white men's conquests.
They arc twenty years old
in South Africa.
Schlitz beer was famous in
Siberia before a railroad was
thought of.
When Japan and China
first began to awake, Schlitz
beer was advertised in their
newspapers.
Almost as soon as Dewey
captured Manila 210 car
loads of Schlitz were sent
there.
Today Schlitz agencies so
dot the globe that when it is
midnight at one it is noon
day at another.
The quality by which
Schlitz beer has won distinc
tion has been its absolute
purity. Every physician the
world over will recommend
Schlitz, the beer that made
Milwaukee famous.
