CONVENTION A LOYEFEAST No Karri tmt tlat of Conprsuman Smith MsBtioned for the Place. MAKES SPEECH ACKNOWLEDGING HONOR Resolutions Endorse the National Ad ministration and the Course of the Iowa Delegation In Congress. The republican convention of the Ninth congressional district of Iowa, held yes terday morning In Council Bluffs, was a love feast, pure and simple, and not only was Congressman Walter I. Bmlth ac corded a -unanimous and moat entbustaatie renomlnatlon, but his record in the na tional house of representatives was en dorsed In a most flattering manner. On state and national Issues the convention placed Itself squarely on record by adopt ing tbe following resolutions: Resolved, That we cordially Indorse the wise and patriotic administration, of Presi dent Roosevelt and congratulate the coun try on the fact that the untimely death of President McKlnley caused no break in carrying out the policies announced by the republican party. Resolved, That we commend the wise, prudent and business-like management of the affairs of the state under the adminis tration of Governor Cummins. Resolved, That we take pride In the fact that the republican party has kept and performed the promises and pledges made In Its last national platform, and the progress, prosperity and development which have come to our people as the re sult thereof. Resolved, That we assert the sovereignty of the people over all corporations ana ag gregations of capital and the- right resid ing In the people to enforce such regula tions, restrictions or prohibitions upon cor porate management as will protect the in dividual and society from abuse of the power which great combinations of capital yield. We favor such amendment of the Interstate commerce act as will more fully carry out Its prohibition of discrimination In rate making, and any modification of the tariff schedules that may be required to prevent their affording shelter to unjust combinations of capital. Resolved. That we earnestly favor tho policy of reciprocity advocated by Blaine, McKlnley and Roosevelt, to which we, as republicans, nre committed. Resolved, That we stand by the historic policy of the republican party in giving froteetlon to home Industries and point for ts ample vindication to the extraordinary rapidity which our national resources have been developed and our industrial and flnanclnl Independence secured. We favor such changea In the tariff from time to time as becomes advisable through the progress of our Industries and their chang ing relatione to the commerce of the world. Resolved. That we Insist that In our re laflona with Cuba there be such an appli cation of the principles of reciprocity as will protect the Interest of the people of the United States, as well as those of Cuba, Resolved. That we endorse the record of our congressman, Hon. Walter I. Smith, and are proud of the high position he has taken In the political affairs of Our coun try, and we recommend that he be nomi nated by this convention by acclamation. All Counties Represented. Every one of the nine eountles compris ing the Ninth congressional district was represented by its full quota of delegates when L. 8. Robinson of Olenwood, chair man of the congressional committee, called tho convention tooder at 11 e'ejock In the south court room of the county court house and Darned John, W.' Foster oj Guth rie Center as temporary chairman nd D. C. . Mott of Audubon as temporary' secre tary. , Mr. Foster on assuming the gavel made a short but rousing speech, in which he paid a glowing tribute to the late Pres ident William McKlnley. The convention got down to work by au thorising the chairman to name three members as tbe committee on credentials, as follows: D. B. Miller, Montgomery county; A. H. Bayre, Outbrle; H. W. Wil son, Audubon. The committee promptly reported that there were no contests and the convention proceeded to name the committees on permanent organization and resolutions. The committees were named as follows: Permanent Organisation B. B. Freeman, Adair county, Ernest Powell, Audubon; J. B. Rockafellow. Cass; N. Wright, Outb rle; M. C. Dally, Harrison; W. P. Wort man, Mills; E. Mills, Montgomery; S. L. Johnson, Pottawattamie; D. J. Korth. Shelby. Resolutions A. P. McDowell, Adair county; W. I. Copeland, Audubon; C. U Campbell, Cass; E. W. Weeks, Guthrie; Fred Robblns, Harrison; H. J. Baird, Mills; C. C. Platter, Montgomery: A. S. Haielton. Pottawattamie; W. J. Williams. Shelby. On the recommendation of tho commu te the temporary organisation was made permanent, and following the adoption or the report of tbe committee on resolutions the convention did what it had assembled to do by renominating Congressman Smith by acclamation. As soon as the applause had subsided a committee was appointed to escort Con gressman Smith before the convention. nits Thanks Convention, In accepting the nomination Judge Smith spoke in hearty terms of his appreciation of tbe confidence and regard shown him by the convention and referred briefly to the work of tbe recent session of con gress, declaring It the most Important in its accomplishments of any session in time of peace during the present generation. He said, however, ' It was probable that congress was not to be commended more for what It had done than for what It had not done, In that It had not dons any thing to disturb the unprecedented pros perlty that reigns throughout the land, and In this connection spoke of the evi dences of development and prosperity found on every hand when on his recent trip through the south. Of the measures put through congress Judge Smith first spoke of the bill passed near the close of tbe session extending civil government to the Philippine Islands. He referred to the proclamation of tbe president declaring peace In tbe archi pelago, and said' the people of the Islands would In time come to look upon the civil government act with something of the same sacred regard that we look upon the Declaration of Independence. As an Illus tration of tbe progress of civilisation tn the Islands under American control he cited tbe fact that whUe there were but a little over 8,000 school children enrolled In the islands when the Americans took possession, there are now XSO.000 children so enrolled. . The second measure of the late session of congress referred to by Judge Smith as being of great Importance was the canal bill, under which the Atlantle and Pacific oceans are to be united under tbe auspices of the United States, making It possible for commerce from all points on our coast to reach all sections of tbe world In the shortest time possible. He declared that the paasage of this measure wss due te tbe efforts of Hon. W. P. Hepburn of lows more than to the efforts of any other one living man. Makes Houses for On People. A thirl great piece of legislation enacted by congress aal referred to by the speaker was tbe lirlgatloa bill, which prorlde that the proceeds of the sale of public ' lands shall be devoted to Irrigation. He claimed for this measure that under Its operation the arid lands of the west would be re claimed for homes and farms for tbe many who were now going yearly Into Canada from tbe states. Fifteen thousands cltl sens of Iowa had In the last year so left their natlvs land and the land of the stars and stripes and gone to a foreign country to become subjects of the British crown. The workings ot tbs Irrigation law would tend to remedy this and give to these homeseekers fertile lands beneath tbe American flag. Referrence was also made by Judge Smith to the repeal of the Spanish war revenue law. At the seoond session of tbe Fifty-sixth congress a reduction of $40, 000,000 a year was made in tbe tax and at tbe recent session, before the end ot the war in the Philippines, the balance of the tax waa repealed, and thus tbs people of the country were relieved ot a burden In all of $177,000,000 annually. With the naming of the congressional committee ' the convention completed Its work and adjourned. These comprise tbe congressional committee: Adair county, W. H. McClure; Audubon, H. B. Herbert; Cass, C. L. Campbell; Guthrie, C. W. Cook; Harrison, H. M. Bos wick; Mills, L. 8, Rob inson; Montgomery, W. S. Ellis; Pottawat tamie, H. L. Chambers; 8helby, E. Lock wood. The committee re-elected L. S. Rob inson of Mills county as its chairman and E. Lockwood of Shelby county aa its secretary. Puck's Domestlo soap ts best. j' I Dsvis sells paints. General King?

Justice Blakely of Corydon has rendered his decision in the liquor cases against the Adams Express company and held that the delivery of packagea and collection of cash on delivery charges on trwm constituted a sale.

They had a short conversation, entered a street car with a Justice of the peace secured for the occasion and were married there in the presence of the passengers twenty minutes after they met.

General rains occurred on the 17th to ltth and severe local wind storms with heavy downpours swept over extenelve sress In tbs southwest, south central, southeast and east central districts, causing damage to small grain, corn and hay crops that can not as yet be estimated. The most damaging effects were wrought in the section southeast ot a line from Page to Dubuque, but nearly all parts of the state suffered soms damage from ex cessive moisture. The worst feature of the crop situation U noted In tbe reports from nearly all districts that tbe grain crops ars ready to harvest and tbe fields are too wet to be. entered by harvesters. Oats ars badly lodged In one-fourth to one-half ot tbe area seeded. Wheat and oats are gen erally well filled and the damage by rust Is not very great, but tbe situation is critical and normal weather is Impera tively needed to sava these 'crops.

Much hay is yet uncut and much haa been spoiled after being cut. Pasturage Is bulky, but not in prime con dition tor stock In .the flooded regions. Apples are badly wlndfallen in many locali ties.

He' was a 18-year-old boy, deaf and dumb, and alttred la tbe kbakl uni form ot a soldier bearing corporal's chev rons. He made known that his name is Fred L. .Howe and his home had been la Kse sas, where he Joined tha Twenty-first reg- tmmt of Kansas Volunteers, ot which Oenersl Fuastoa was a member.

Ia., for the murder ot Fred Powell, a Milwaukee road brakeman, has made a full confession of the crime. GOVERNMENT IS FAIR (Continued from First Page.) of Mr. Taft Is to know that nothing of tbs kind could have been thought of. Complimentary to President. "Never did there reside in the White House a man more fair minded and impar tial in religious matters, more resolute to give all classes of citizens the religious rights granted to them by the constitution, and to protect those rights than Theodore Roosevelt During his administration It Is unqualifiedly absurd to Imagine that gov ernmental acts would be such as to deny the proper religious rights of any people or tribe over which floats the American flag. "No stronger proof of fair-minded cases In the settlement ot the religious question in tbe Philippines could the administration have given than to respond graciously to the wishes of the Vatican that a messenger from the American government should go to Rome to discuss matters directly with the pope and his advisers T American Catholics should be forever most grateful to Mr. Roosevelt for his noble action In this re gard and should see In it the assurance that whatever may be done In the Philip pines, a spirit of high mlndedness and Justice Is sure to be the dominant inspira tion. Other governments would have gone to work in their own way without a word being said to the head of the church or a counsel asked from him. "If the American government sincerely believed that the four landlord religious orders of the Philippines those that bad been for centuries intimately linked in with the Spanish regime Its agents and representatives, were an obstacle to the pacification of tbe Islands, why see in tiys an opposition to the whole church, as It those four orders were specifically tbe church and the native priests, tbe Jesuits, Capuchins and Laiarlats, whom the gov ernment does not disturb, did not also represent It, and as If others, as well as tbe government officials, were not of tbe opinion that the peace of the islands would be much enhanced by tbe absence ot tbs landlord orders T As to Schools In Philippines. "And as to schools In the Philippines, why not, when the presence ot non Catholic . teachers Is told of, state that out of a total of 6,000 teachers, 2,600 ars Filipino Catholics T Why not state that Father McKlnnon Is a member of the school board of Manila T 'And wby, when mention ia made of non- Cathollo teachers, allow the false impres sion to go abrosd that many ot these were ministers and active proselytlxersT 'And why not remember that by the law of the islands, clergymen, who are min isters in any place ot organised congrega tions, may three times a week teach re ligion ia tbe schools ot the place, the condition that they be mlnlaters of or ganised congregations virtually confining the privilege to Catholic priesthood T 'Perhaps, Ideally, something more migni be desired, but the conditions within which tbe government is confined must be con sidered and, at least, wben disadvantages to religion are quoted, ths advantages that are allowed should also be set forth. "But. I repeat, the agitation I am re proving only cornea from the few Amer ican Catholics as a boay trust ui govern mentand in the present Issues trust the holy see and hold their souls In peace."

KEOKUK, Ia., July 22. Tonight a tres tle 150 feet long, one mile north of Alex andria on tbe St. Louis, Keokuk ft North western railroad, was washed out, blocking traffic on that road and the Keokuk ft West ern, which uses the trsck there. Extra ordinary precaution prevented a serlnus catastrophe. The northbound Twin City express from St. Louis to St. Paul passed the place half an hour previously. Tbe situation Is In tbe enlarged mouth of the Des Moines river, which is two miles wlds, between the Iowa bluffs and ths Egyptian levee In MlasourL Wster there baa hith erto been flowing over tbe tracks and through tbe trestle. A large tores Is at work repairing tbe break, which is In the midst of tbe strongest current of tbe river torrent and Is extremely difficult to han dle. The crest of ths Mississippi river flood is now at Qulncy, and by morning wll be still further south. Tbe river reached tbe maximum at Qutucjr at noon today and has been stationary there since. 'A sta tionary stage at Hannibal is expected to morrow morning. The Lima Lake levee, extending north from Meyer, 111., twenty miles north of Qulncy, developed danger today and a large force ot men was employed to patrol it and earth hooks were scattered along Its length. The Lima Lake and the Hunt levees protect cornfields valued at several million dollars. Levees on tbe Illinois side of tbs river below Qulncy are stand ing and saved most ot tbe country there. Tbe Mississippi river fell nine iucbes bere during tbe last twenty-four hours and tbsrs ars no signs In Iowa rivers of any more flood approaching. A gradual fall of a couple ot weeks will end tbe flood in the vast domain south of bere. Several hun dred tenant farmers sre absolutely penni less and with no chance of an Income this year. Each community seems to be tak ing care ot its own refugees snd no sys tematic plan ot relief has been broached yet. Tbe same conditions obtain along tbe seventy-five miles of tbe Mississippi river on the Missouri side of a hundred mllea of tbe Des Moines river lowlands. The pop ulation of the village at St. Franclsvllle, Mo., baa been nearly doubled by refugees from the flooded district, who lost abso lutely everything. Albany Sails for Stockholm. CHRISTIANIA.
