Western road from Fort Dodge into Council

SHORTAGE 0VERJFIVE HUNDRED
Ticket Seller Gannon Was All Right
Ip to Within a Few
Weeks.
Nothing was learned yesterday as to tho
whereabouts of Thomas H. 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.

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

Burlington Hawkeye: Some lawyers who

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

to secure good men and as tney are aiwava
given a second term, an election is virtually

HOT CONTEST FOR CONTROL
Ejes of Politician Are Turned Toward
Fourth Congressional Distrct.
MACHINISTS' STRIKE IS ABOUT OVE
J. It. 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. Sage waa this morning reappointed
by Governor Cummins to have charge of the
Iowa weather and crop service for the next
two years. Mr. Sage was the originator of
the bureau in Iowa and has been at Its head
from th,e o'PWtoatlon. He does not expect
JT i" aervice. nowever, after
his present term has ended. He is also In
charge of the government crop service for
lowa.
Inspection of the remaining guard com
panles in Iowa will be made as follsw; Mar
shalltown. June 9: Albla, June 13: Des

The odor of gas, coupled with the fact
that three calls for breakfast had received

who rooms at her house, early this morn

the room, nearly overpowering the woman.

A rifled trunk, clothes thrown about 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."
