Oannon, the missing tlcketseller at the Rock Island local depot. His books were checked over yes terday by an auditor of the railroad, but the local officials declined to make public the exact amount of the shortage, although admitting It was over $r00. The investiga tion showed that Oannon's shortage oc curred all within the last few weeks. The tickets ht.ve yet to be systematically checked over and It Is possible that a fur ther shortage may develop. Mrs. Gannon Is of the opinion that her husband had con templated leaving for parts unknown for several days before he disappeared from re marks he made, but which at the time she paid no heed to. Some of his friends are Inclined to the belief that Gannon has enlisted In the reg ular army, possibly under an assumed name, as he had a taste of military life during the Spanish-American war.

The Des Moines Register Is In favor of the whipping post as a punishment for cer tain crimen, and says that It would reduce city and county expenses aa 'well as di minish crime. Council Rlufra Nnnnnll A rrlnDled Cedar Kaplds girl was arrested last week for raising the value of a check from $5.17 to $6.27. Perhaps this Is a case where no one will complain it the wheels of Justice are allowed to get a trifle rusty. eloux Citv Jo'-rnal: In resrard to that St. Louis dMpla. . how would Tt do to have a corn palace merely as a shell to cover an exhibit ot mining and manufacturing products? That would tell the whole story. A corn palace can be constructed about as cneapiy as a plainer but more substantial building- and the unique decorations would serve aa an attraction to draw visitors to Inspect the resources which Iowa will find It profitable to advertise. Glenwood Opinion: The boys who work on a farm are strictly "in it these days. The other day a young man hired out for the year, and he will get $250 in money, his board and washing. th keep of his buggy horse, with a week off when the corn Is laid oy in June, and anotner vacation when the husking is finished. Counting ordinary prices paler tor board and washing and horse feed, this young man will get oeiier man a montn. Corning Gazette: If It waa not for tha mere form, there would be no necessity of sending full delegations to the two conven tions to be held at Creston. In the con gressional district there is no opposition to Colonel W. P. Hepburn for congress. Likewise no one opposes Judge Towner nor Judge Fairish. Still It is always pleasant for republicans to meet and hold a love feast. It makes them better republicans and therefore -better citizens. Decorah Republican: The lesson of the flood is no more dirt roads. All the earth work done tlnce the flood of 1(2 was cleared oft and sent down stream to enrich the Iowa valley. The graveled tracks made ten, fifteen and even twenty years ago re disclosed again, solid, entire and service able as ever. Another lesson keep the roadways as low as possible. A high road bed Is useless; yea, more. It Is an offense if It serve to dam back water or throw it upon the adjoining lot. A good roadbed Is one that Is rounded sufficiently to drain the water from the center to the gutter as directly as possible. Partng off the outer ridge is Just as effective as piling up the center, and costs lees than half. Burlington Hawkeye: Some lawyers who tiav heen watching the trend of affairs In the state for a number of years are of the opinion that the time is approacning wnen the term of nmee of the district Judge will be lengthened. At present they hold office only four years and In a great many caes hardly get out of politics once before they nr cnmnelled to enter another contest. There are some exceptions and In 'many districts Judges hold office for an Indefinite period. This is not tne general ruie. nuw ever. Should the state see tit to double ha. lam-ih nt ih terms of the district judges, it would be merely placing itself on a par with some of the eastern statee, where district Judges hold office for terms of ten years or even longer in some in ..an.-. The result Is that care Is taken to secure good men and as tney are aiwava given a second term, an election is virtually for life. Iowa State Kewa Notes.

Snare, Who Has llnd Charge of the Crop Service Bureau Ettf Since Its Establishment, Is Reappointed. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, June 5. (Special.) Inter est In the congresslona! contest in the Fourth district is intense at the present time, not only because of the fact that this is the only contest In the state for renoml- i nation, but because of the importance of the fight, therein securing control of the party machinery In the state. At the out set Congressman Haugen was opposed by James E. Blythe of Mason City for the nom ination. Duncan Rule, also of Mason City, was brought out as a candidate against Blythe and has beat Blythe In Cerro Gordo county. In the meantime the friends ot Haugen have been active in the rest of the district. The congressional convention Is set for the 13th, and this was done by the friends of Haugen. All the county conven tions will be held In the next tea days. It is regarded here as almost certain that Haugen will win, since the friends of Blytbo will now assist him in the fight against Rule. The real contest Is over the control of the convention and the delegations to the state convention, for an effort Is being made to secure a change of committeemen. Upon the success of this movement depends the control of the state commltteo for sev eral yeats. Turner, the present member, is a friend ot Blythe, and it la desired to supplant him with another. The conven tions in the Ninth and Second districts have not been called as yet and may not be until late. Partial Settlement of Strike. John Campbell, one of the vice presidents of the International Order of Machinists, spent a few days in the city and effected a partial settlement ot the controversy be tween the machinists and operators in the city over the time of labor. The machinists were contending for a straight nine-hour day for all the machinists and for helpers and apprentices. All the men went out in all the Des Moines shops and this morning, as the results of Campbell's work here, the men went back to work in all but two of the shops, having been granted their de mands in full. The other workmen are ex pected to go back this week. The strike of plumbers has not been settled yet, but a number of the firms are working right along and It appears as if there would be ultimate failure for the strikers. Reappoint Weather Man. J. R.

Shollev. 819 Seventh street, to burst open the door leading into the bedroom of C. H. Johnston who rooms at her house, early this morn ing. A perfect gust of gas swept out frgm the room, nearly overpowering the woman. wnlle within, stretched prone on the bed. lay the apparently lifeless body of the man. A rifled trunk, clothes thrown about the room and all of the drawers In the dresser tending wide open, told too plainly the fact that burglars had turned on the gas In order to so deaden the sensibilities of the man that he would not awaken during tne robbing ot the house. The unconscious man was removed from the room and Dr. Smouse was hastily sum moned. The victim was nearly dead and It was only after several minutes' hard work that he was finally able to open his eyes and sit up.

Cleveland Plain Dealer: "I have a friend," said a New Yorker, "who travels a good deal, and recently made a trip, accom panied by his wife. She had read so much about hotel fires that she made him pur chase a rope ladder and roll It up and carry It along in bis trunk. "They were on the fourth floor of southern hotel one night, when there was an alarm of fire. 'You look after our valu ables, John,' shouted tbe wife, as she jumped out of bed, 'and I'll get the ladder.' "She dived to the bottom ot the trunk, grabbed the bundle, tore the end ot the paper to make eure, and then turned and threw the whole outfit out ot the window, nearly hitting a hackman in the street. Fortunately there was no danger, and when the husband dressed and went down stairs for the rope he found that it was gone." And So He Does It.

It's like1, this: When the proprietor wants some thing done he tells the cashier and the cashier tells tbe bookkeeper, and tbe book keeper tells tbe assietant bookkeeper, and the assistant bookkeeper tells the chief clerk, and the chief clerk tells me."
