AKrerliicnt I'rcvciitn I'lrdKOS.
Whllo the supporters of A. B. Cummins In
his candidacy for the nomination for gov
ernor wero In the majority and practically
controlled the republican convention of
Pottawattamlo county In Council Bluffs
yesterday, the thirty-four delegates selected
to attend to the state republican convention
at Cedar Rapids Wednesday, August 7, were
not Instructed. This wan owing to nn
agreement having been reached between the
Cummins and nntl-Cummlns factions some
time prior to the precinct primaries. There
appears to be a dlfferenco of opinion is to
the exact nature of this agreement, but tho
general understanding Is that tho thirty
four votes from this county will be cast
first for John Hcrrlott, tho candidate for
governor from tho Ninth district, and that
If nt any time tho vote of Pottawattamlo
county Is needed by Mr. Cummins to secure
his nomination it Is to go to him. The
complexion of tho delegation shows that
eighteen of the delegates are Cummins men,
whllo sixteen are known ae members of tho
nntl-Cummlns faction. Tho original Inten
tion had been to equally divide tho dele
gation. Realizing their strength tho delegates
from the eastern part of tho county held a
caucus yesterday morning on arriving In
tho city prior to the convention and seri
ously discussed tho advisability of Ignoring
the agreement entered Into by tho Cum
tnlna nnd nntl-Cummlns factions. Many of
tho delegntes were In favor of carrying the
fight Into the convention and If successful
to select a delegation Instructed for the
Des Moines candidate for governor. Wiser
counsel, however, prevailed and the dele
gates decided not to bolt tho agreement.
The solcctlotr of delegates to the state con
vention was consequently mado without auj
contest. , , ,
A fight was mado on the rcnomlnatlon of
William Arnd for county treasurer hy thoc
opposed to an .officeholder enjoying a
fourth term, but tho fight was made too
late In the day and Arnd secured the nom
ination on the second ballot by the narrow
margin of four votes. This and the nom
ination of a member of the board of super
visors to succeed Jacob Hansen proved tho
only two real contests In the convention.
Detnlla nf Convention,
The convention was held in tho superior
courtroom at tho county courthouse, tho
temperature of which was llko that of a
well regulated Turkish bath. Coats and
vests wore discarded whllo tho two hundred
delegates with tho liberal use of fans and
frequent attacks on the water cooler, which
had to bo replenished several times dur
ing tho proceedings, tried to keep as cool
as possible under the trying conditions of
tho torrid atmosphere. On account of the
heat all speechmaklng' was dispenned with
and the business of the convention dis
patched with ns little delay as possible.
At 11 o'clock promptly tho convention
wns called to order by Georgo S. Wright,
chairman of the county central republican
committee, who after reading the call
named William F. Sapp of Council Bluffs as
temporary chairman. Mr. Sapp contented
hlmsolf with simply thanking the conven
tion for tho honor and on account of ,the
heat refrained from following tho usual
custom of temporary chairman of making
a spctech. John Fletcher of Oakland was
selected as temporary secretary when ths
usual committees were appointed before nn
adjournment taken for dinner. These coin

speculative contingent cared little for that. .
Every man in the grain crowd and a good I
part of the speculative public was loaded
with sraln, having bought on yesterday's 1
big advanco and dry weather talk, I'lt
brokora did their best to find buyerB, but
could only sell at big concessions. One
operator offered corn all the way
down from 62V4 cents to 68V4 cents
before he could make a trade. It
was n speculative craze to sell and lasted
until tho orders gave out, when a breath
ing spell nnd a bIIbIU rally occurred. It
was brief, however, for more rain news In
tho afternoon brought on another bear at

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, July 23. (Special.) The
milk dealers In Dcs Molncs are feeling the
eflects of lowa'a stringent law in regard
to milk ndulteratlons. J. J. Myers, a
prominent butcher and dealer In milk,
paid a fine for bolng guilty of hauling
milk In which formaldehyde had been
placed as a preservative. Ho claimed that
he had purchased tho milk from the
dairymen and did not know that anything
had been placed In it for preserving, but
tho law makes no distinction of this kind
nnd he paid his fine. Today he llled In
formation against tho proprietors of tho
Iowa dairy, under the state law, nnd they
were arrested for adulterating their milk.
Tho tests showed they had been handling
milk In which formaldehyde wns used. Tho
company receives milk from more than a
dozen different sources and the proprietors
say they are unnblo to tell who It is that
Is using the adulterant. Tho samo con
dition Is said to prevail with nearly half
the milk dealers In the city. The state
dairy commissioner has sent out formal
warning to the milk dealers against adul
teration and a copy of the law, which
makes no distinction ns between tho adul
terants which are harmless or supposed to
bo beneficial and adulterants that aro
Injurious. It Is not pretended by
tho statu dairy department that the
uso of formaldehyde Is dangerous, hut
that It Is strictly forbidden by law. As
soon ns tho custom of using preservative's
Is broken up In Des Moines the stnto dairy
department will proceed In other cities of
the state where It Is reported much adul
terated milk has been found.
Fire In Stntc Bindery.
Firo In the state bindery, which Is In the
third story of tho ofllco of tho Evening
Capital, this morning caused a loss on state
work and some delay In getting out state
documents and blanks. Tho flro originated
In spontaneous combustion In tho refuse at
tho foot of tho elevator and was discov
ered hy a printer, who had come to his
work earlier than usual. Tho damago to
the printing ofllco wan slight, probably $500
in all, but the state bindery wns badly
burned. Tho report of the railroad com
mission had Just been printed and deliv
ered to the binder nnd was awaiting tho
completion of the Index before It would bo
bound up. This will havo to bo practically
all printed ngaln. Tho report ot tho geo
logical survey was In tho hands of the
binder and was nearly nil destroyed.
Blanks for tho state superintendent nnd for
the state auditor and other officers were
also in tho building and these should havo
been gotton out Immediately. The delay
w,!U bo annoying in many cases. Tho en
tlro.blnder's stock was destroyed and much
of tho machinery. It belonged to Howard
Tedford of Ringgold county, sfato binder,
and It was Insured for $3,000. The loss of
Lafo Young on tho Capital plant waB also
fully covered by Insurance.
Too Hot for Cn in placet I n kh.
A series of tent rovlvnl meetings Is
being held in this city by Evangelist Wil
liams, on Stnto square In a tent, but tho
heat has been so oppressive that prac
tically no progress Is bolng made and tho
meetings may bo abandoned. Tho state
campmeetlng of tho Iowa Methodists Is in
session at Clear Lake and the meeting will
conclude this week, but the attendance has
been less than usual and many who had
planned to be present stayed away. Some
of the best ministers of tho Methodist
church In the stato .have been present and
delivered Bcrmons, but it hns been hard to
arotiso any enthusiasm.
