State Superintendent Barrett has re
versed the ruling of County Superintendent
McMtnus in the case of J. J. Cook against
th directors of the school district of Gar
ner township. Last spring the school di
rectors of Oarner township ordered a
change of text books throughout all the
school in the township. The patrons ot
one school refused to accept the order
and the school was closed. J. J. Cook, one
of the patron of this school, appealed from
the order ot the board to the county su
perintendent, contending that the meeting
of th board at which the change ot text
book had been decided upon had been ir
regularly called. County Superintendent
McManus sustained the action of the
board and now the state superintendent
reverses his ruling, and hold that the
meeting wa irregular and therefore the
order, changing the text book Is null and
vold.V "
Th state superintendent' ruling place
th director ot the township in rather an
embarrassing position, as patrons of the
school in that township who have been to
th expense ot buying the new text books
for their children. It is said, are likely to
come back at the director and demand that
they take the books off their hands.

BOTH CONVENTIONS FARCES
-
Tea Democrats Nominate C'ona;rra
lonal Candidate and Kir
One for Jnrie.
George W. Culltson of Harlan, a member
of the Shelby county bar, was nominated
yesterday afternoon by the democratic con
vention of the Ninth congressional district
to make tbe race against Congressman
Walter I. Smith, the republican nominee
and present representative from the dis
trict. Samuel B. Wadsworth of Council
Bluffs, former city attorney, was nominated
as candidate for the district bench by the
democratic convention of tbe Fifteenth Ju
dicial district. Three Judges in the Fif
teenth district are to be elected this fall,
but the convention only placed In nomina
tion one candidate, believing that by o
doing and concentrating their effort on one
man they might possibly "pull one chest
nut out of tbe fire.''
Both conventions were mere farces, not
more than a doxen delegates being In at
tendance at either. Several counties In
both districts were not even represented by
a single delegate. The proceedings of the
congressional convention. It tbe gathering
of ten democrats could be called such, were
enlivened somewhat by an attempt to force
the adoption of a resolution reaffirming
the Kansas City platform in its entirety.
The attempt, however, waa defeated, despite
the desperate effort of one lone delegate
from Pottawattamie to cast the twenty
votes the county was entitled to. The op
portune appearance on the scene of another
delegate from Pottawattamie prevented the
disposal of the twenty votes In such a man
ner. The congressional convention was sched
uled for 1 p. m., but It was nearly an hour
later before It was called to order by S. B.
Morrtssey of Harlan, chairman of th con
gressional committee, who named J. E.
Klrkwood of Harrlaon county a tempo
rary chairman and Edgar Brown of Mills
county, editor of the Hastings Record, as
temporary secretary. Editor Brown was an
avowed candidate tor the congressional
nomination and making him. temporary sec
retary was an evident scheme to place him
on the shelf. At least so Mr. Brown In
terpreted it and did not hesitate to state so.
Committees on credential and perma
nent organisation consisting of three mem
bers each were named, and this left only
the chairman and secretary to keep the
convention going while tbe committee
were formulating their reports.
N. Chrlsman ot Neola, who had his pock
et loaded with resolution which prior to
th convention be had been Industriously
reading to everyone he could prevail npon
to listen, urged that a committee on reso
lution be appointed. This was opposed
by J. K. McGavern, a veteran politician
from Harrison county who had been post
tinder President Cleveland. McGav
ern took tbe stand that the state conven
tion had adopted a platform for the party
in Iowa and that it waa sufficient. McOav
ern carried the day, much to Chrlaman's
disappointment in not being able to make
public hi carefully prepared bunch ot res
olutions. George W. Culllson wa then placed in
nomination by McGavern, and William Don
elan presented the name of Editor Brown of
Hastings. Mr. Brown, however, withdrew
hi nam "for th sak of harmony," aa he
stated, and. Culllson wa nominated by ac
clamation. ,
Th chairmen of th several county com
mittee were then appointed member of th
congressional committee.
H. B. Holsman of Guthrie county then
attempted to fore th convention to adopt
a resolution reaffirming the Kansas City
platform, but was opposed by W. C. Camp
bell, editor ot th Harlan Tribune, who
urged that for the convention to pursue such
a course would place Candidate' Culllson in
a most embarrassing position. Holsman
then tried other tactics. He amended his
motion so a to include th ratlfioatlen et
th Des Moines platform, but McGavern op
posed this and th original motion and the
amendment were defeated. N. Chrlsman, the
Neola spellbinder, then started to work oft" a
free sliver speech, which h had prepared
for the county convention at Neola, but
which he had been prevented from making.
He spoke for about fifteen minutes, during
which everyon left th hall exoept the
chairman, J. J. 8ha, and one man who wa
crippled with rheumatism. He wa finally
called to tlm and th half dosen delegate
resumed their seat sufficiently long to pass
a motion to adjourn.
The judicial convention wa called to or
der at 11 a. m. by Frank Tamtslea of Mis
souri Valley, secretary of the Judicial com
mittee, in the absence of a chairman, and
Fremont Benjamin ot Council Bluff was
called upon to wield th gavel. , Committee
or credential and permanent organisation
were appointed and a this depleated tbe
convention an adjournment was taken until S
o'clock in the afternoon, in th hopes that
by that time the attendance would increase
sufficiently to transact business.
On reconvening in the afternoon th tem
porary organization wa made permanent
and the committee on credential announced
that Audubon, Fremont and Page counties
were not represented.
Editor Brown of Hastings took th floor
and suggested that the convention only nom
inate one candidate for tbe district bench,
a it waa well known to tbe delegates as
sembled that the fight was a hopeless one
In any case and that by making only one
nomination and concentrating their efforts
on that one candidate they might possibly
"pull one chestnut out ot th fir." That
being the situation he placed in nomination
Samuel B. Wadsworth ot Council Bluffs ss
the one chestnut they might possibly be able
to pull out of the fir. No one else having
a candidate to offer up for tbe slaughter Mr.
Wadsworth was accorded the nomination
with all the enthusiasm that a convention
consisting ot eight delegate could muster
up.
After naming the Judicial committee the
convention adjourned.

Aasess Sewer Tase.
The city council met yesterday after
noon and after Impeding the recently
completed sewer on Benton, Vaughn and
Harmony streets assessed the cost of the
improvement agalnat the abutting prop
erty. It was decided that the property
wa able to bear tbe full coat of the Im
provement and th city will not have to
assume any of th expanse.
Tbe aldermen as a committee of th
whole took a rid over Gleaaon avanua
and decided to recommend that $200 b
expanded la grading It.
The council adjourned to Monday night,
September 21.
Achat Haa Plenty of Trouble.
John Achats, keeper of the Red Light
aloon on Broadway, bad a whole pack of
troubl on hi shoulders last nlgbt. Thoma
O'Brien, whom he had ordered out of th
place, returned armed with a pavlog brick,
which he hurled through the plat glass
mirror back of the bar, smashing the mirror
Into a thousand and one piece and play
Ing havoc with the glasware on the shelf.
O'Brien waa arrested, charged with mali
cious destruction of property. Achats had
barely resumed his composure after this
Incident when Harry Edwards walked Into
the saloon and tried to pick a quarrel,
i Achat ordered him out and this Edwards
reeented ,lt is alleged, by picking up a
heavy beer glass and hurling It at Achats'
head. It missed it mark, but did consid
erable damage back of the bar among the
glassware. Edwards wa arrested on a
charge of disturbing the peace.

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, Sept. 10. (Special Tele
gram.) Late this afternoon for tbe first
time some evidence was brought out in the
trial of Thomas Lewis, accused ot th mur
der of tbe Peterson children, tending
trongly to establish his guilt. C. C. Cox,
a negro miner who worked with Lewis In
th mine, testified that Lewi wa absent
from the mine two days after the murder
and when he returned he told Cox that he
and two companion were within 100 feet
ot where the murder wa committed wbon
it wa don and that It waa at 9:15 o'clock.
This is the first tlm anyone has stated
when the crime was dons. Th conversa
tion wa overheard by Tom Conner, an
other miner, who confirmed what Cox bad
aid. Testimony wa also lntrodued show
ing that there wer two trails leading from
the scene of the murder and they were
Joined by another some distance away, thus
accounting for tbe three men of tbe Lewis
party. There was also evidence thst an
(ron rod from a pump on the Lewis farm
with which the murder I supposed to have
been committed, waa found near the scene
ot the murder.

The trustees of tbe Stste Normal school
at Cedar Fall have decided thst they will
not abandon Instrutlon In military tactics
for the young men who attend the school.
It wa at Brat thought this branch would
have to be dropped out entirely because
of th new order of the War department,
which requires a large additional amount of
instruction in order to have an army offi
cer detailed on the work. But at the board

Keep Your Insides Cool!
Here's a man who thinks he has heart disease, and is scared half to death.
His (ace is all drawn out of shape from fear and agony. Every time he eats,
his heart "palpitates" that simply means that his stomach is swelled up
with gases from fermenting' undigested food, and his heart thumps against
his diaphragm. Nothing the matter with his heart. In the summer time,
this gas distention is much worse, his whole body and blood get over-heated,
and his heart and lungs get so crowded for room, that he gasps for breath.
There he is, look at him ! Every minute he expects to drop dead. Asa
matter of fact, all he needs is to stop that souring and gas forming in his
stomach and bowels, help his digestion along, and keep cool inside. You
all know that whenever something rots or decays, heat develops. Same

FUTILE SEARCH FOR CARNS
Party on the Reservation I nable to
Locate Him If He I
There.
ONAWA. Ia., Sept. 10. (Special Tele
gram.) Word was received from Exra Keea
of TJte and Lem Sumner of Onawa this aft
ernoon that they have worked the ground
over carefully the last two days on the res
ervation, but failed to locate Ed Carns.
Tbey will continue the search in another
direction and have plenty of assistant, who
are watching things on the reservation
carefully.
It is asserted that Ed Cam wa seen
Sunday afternoon by Henry Holt, an Intelli
gent half-breed Winnebago who works In
the trader's store on the reservation. Cam
wa In tbe wood about three mile from
town and headed for the river with tbe
evident intention ot crossing to the Iowa
side.
The picture of the party arrested at New
Hampton, Ia., did not arrive tonight, but
tbe deputy thinks he will get It In the
morning and Is banking considerably that
they have got the right party. The gen
eral opinion here, however, Is that Ed
Carna is on the reservation or else on the
Iowa aide near there. There I no doubt
that he will still take great chances to
gat a shot at William Belhl, the man who
beat btm up so badly.
