CANDIDATES ARE ODT EARLY
Unusual Activity for Thii Titm of Tear is
Noted in Folitioal Circles.
t MaaaaaaM
TREASURY ATTRACTS MOST ATTENTION
J. I. Greenshields and City Treasurer
True the Leading" Candidates,
bat Other Kyea Are an
the Plaee.
The political pot is commencing to slm-
mer earlier this year than usual and candl-
dates for the several county offices to be I
voted on n!xt November are already out In
the field and actively campaigning. At
ira u mis la irue oi mom woo aspire ig inn
- - A . , , , . - M . , L - , I
repuoiiean nominations, eeeing iosi mere
sre. yet nine months . before election and
that the republican county convention will
not be held In all probability before the
latter part of July or the early part of Au
gust, this early activity In the political
arena Is somewhat unusual. Old-time
politicians attribute this activity at this
stage of the game to the fact that the re
publican party will this year nominate a
new set of candidates. It having been given
out that none of the present office holders
whose terms expire January 1 need apply
for renomlnation. This statement was
made by the republican county centraf com
mittee during the campaign last fall.
The count: officers to be voted on this
fall will be: Treasurer, sheriff, superin
tendent of schools, surveyor, coroner, two
members of the board of supervisors, state
senator and two representatives.
Treasury Center of Interest.
The greatest Interest appeara to be In
the race for the nomination for county
treasurer, that being the best paying office
at stake thla fall. There are already sev
eral avowed candidates In (he field who
have a burning ambition to become, custo
dian of the county strong box. and It is
not unlikely that this list will be swelled
as the days o by.
J. P. Greenshields is said to be the
strongest .candidate In the field up to date.
It has been no secret that Greenshtelds,
who for a number of years has been one of
the leaders of the republican party In
Council Ciluffs, has been watting for Treas
urer William Arnd to retire so that ho
might step into his shoes. As Greenshields
win uncouDieaiy irave mo auppon oi urn-
est K. Hart, the Iowa representative of tho
national republican committee, and othe
local leaders of the party, he Is looked
upon as the most formidable candidate at
present In the field. City Treasurer Frank
T. True is also tald to be a candidate for
the county treasuryship and will, If he de
cides to enter the race, make Greenshields
realize that he has no walk-away, as city
treasurer Mr. True haa established an en
viable record and he will undoubtedly go
into the convention with a large and Influ
ential backing. Emll Leflert, at present
deputy under County Treasurer Arnd, la a,n
avowed candidate and It, ia said that City
Clerk N. C. Phillips and City Auditor F. L.
Evana bays their eyes fixed. on. the nomi
nation. L. O. Conslgney of Avoka, It la
aaid, will be the. candidate from' the east
end of tha county. . ''
Several Wontd toe Sheriff.
Ed Canning, former chief of police and
at preaent deputy under Sheriff Cousins, Is
regsrded aa the strongest candidate In tha
field today for the republican nomination
for sheriff. There is a likelihood ot the
east end ot the county demanding the nom
ination for Bherlft tb year on the ground
that Council Bluffs has held It for the last
tour years. G. W. Adam of Walnut Is out
aa an avowed candidate for thla nomina
tion, but It Is not known yet whether ha
baa the aolid support of the eaat end or
not. Other candldatea ara expected to de
velop before long.
No name haa been mentioned aa yet for
the offices of coroner, surveyor or super
intendent of schools. .
Colonel C. G. Saundera, It la aaid, will
receive the nomination for atate aenator
without opposition, he having been elected
to All the vacancy eauaod last year by the
resignation of. Hon... A. S. Haaelton when
he assumed the duties of postmaater.
J. H. Jenka of Avooa and B. F. Freeman
of Oakland are the two representatives
whose terms expire this year. It la not
known whether they will aeek renomlna
tion. County Supervisor H. C. Brandea
ot Jamea township la aaid to have an am
bition to become a representative and Is
quietly working with a. view to carrying
off the nomination. In view of the fact that
Council Bluffs will undoubtedly get tha
senatorshlp. It Is expected that the county
will be permitted to name tha two repre
scntatlves.
Supervisors Bullls and. Kearney ara the
two members ot the county board whose
terms expire this year. Kearney haa stated
emphatically that he will net aaek a re
nomination and would not even accept It
It offered htm. Bullls, It la expected, will
ask for a renomlnation.

tel. A -doxen or mora representatives ot

petitors, with the result that outside mil
lers have taken advantage ot It and suc
cessfully Invaded the territory. The meet
ing last night, It Is said, waa for the. pur

cutting of prices among themselves, adopt
a uniform scale ot prices and thua control
this territory aa far aa possible.

INVESTIGATING A MYSTERIOUS DEATH
Governor t nmmlna Has Another Hot
Fight to Settle Over KaunlnaT a
Member of the Pharmacy
Commission.
(From a Staff Correspondent)
DES MOINES, Feb. . (Special.) An ef
fort Is being made mSre to make the first
application of the new habitual criminal act
In Iowa. Frank Hart la on trial in the
district court for larceny, the accusation
against him being that he stole some chick
ens. The discovery was made at the be
ginning of the trial that he haa served time
before and witnesses were procured to
show this fact. If It can be proved that he
Is guilty of a felony now, and further that
he has been twice before sentenced either
In this state or elsewhere to terms of not
less than three years escb in the, peniten
tiary, he must be given a sentence of not
less than twenty-five yeara for thla crime.
The law was passed last winter, but haa
not been applied In a single case in the
state.
Quarantine Case on Trial.
The supreme court of Iowa this morning
listenod to arguments In an appeal case In
volving tho method of enforcing the quar
antine laws of the state. Thla waa the
case of Dr. C. 8. Klrby of Grand Junction,
convicted of falling to obey a cuarantlne
order when he had the smallpox. The man
ner of determining his case and enforcing
the quarantine was not tn strict conformity
to the law, and the defendant seeks to es
cape on technicalities. The state holds
that Inasmuch as the notice was regularly
served and there was no doubt about the
man having the smallpox and he had ac
cepted service, the regulations could not
be broken with Impunity.
Conrt Decisions.
Tho following were the decisions filed In
the supreme court today:
Andrew Rath against R. T. Orr. appel
lant; Hardin county; Judge Weaver; fore
closure of lien affirmed; by Sherwlrt.
R. A. Klctzzlng against F. W. Armstrong,

tion; dismissed; by Deemer.
The grand Jury In Wright .county la en
gaged tn Investigating a mysterious death
which occurred in November in Dea Moines.
It appears that Clara Whipple of Dows died
here and the body was sent to Dows, but
not until a tow days ago waa it known
that any such death occurred here. The
fact that the body. was sent out without
any record being made of it and aent to a
minister at Dows aroused suspicion and
Investigation followed. Thus far the grand
jury has been unable to determine Just
what happened, but It la evident that the
girl's death waa concealed from aome ul
terior motive. It ia atated, however, that
the minister haa been exonerated from any
improper connection . with the affair. All
efforts to find out,. what undertaker bandied
the case or Just where the girl died have
been unavailing. n:'
Pharmacy Commission Fight.
Governor Cummins is expected to return
from St. Paul tomorrow, where he went to

Christian association, and he will immedi
ately take up the matter of appointment
ot a pharmacy commissioner. The fight has
become very bitter for this position. W.
L. Leland, the present Incumbent, Is a
candidate for reappointment and is backed
by republicans tn northwestern Iowa. In
tho Tenth district are two leading candi
dates, Russell of Rockwell City and Keltx
of Webster City, both strongly Indorsed.
Kelts has a hard local fight on hiw hands
and against Russell it la urged that he la
Ineligible in that he has not been engaged
aa a pharmacist recently but haa ben clerk
of the district court. It la believed the
appointment lies between Russell, Kelts
and Leland, In the order named, but no
matter who Is appointed there will be sore
disappointments. ,,

Test of Oleomargarine Law.
Tbe state dalry.rommlsetoner stated to
day that the prosecution of the Armour
Packing company here for technical viola
tion of the Iowa law relating to the sale
ot oleomargarine Is tn the nature of a teat
of the meaning of tbe law. 1 here are no
procedents to go by. as the law has not
been questioned In the courts. The Iowa
law la different from the national law In
that it. provides for punishment of those
who eell oleomargarine which Is of a yel
low color, nothing being said about any
coloring -matter being placed in it. Ad
mission la made that the oleomargarine
being sold here ie not artificially colored,
but It Is claimed that it has a color which
In fact violates the Iowa law. Thla la the
ele question to be tested by a suit In the
courts and when It ia disposed of here will
be for the entire aiaie.

He Intended to Kill

BRUSSELS. Feb. 6 The trial ot Oen
naro Rubltio, the Italian anarchist, on tbe
charge of attempting to assssslnate King
Leopold, November 15, by firing three shots
at him while he was returning from the
cathedral here, after attending a Te Detim
In memory of the Inte Queen Henrlette. was
opened today In the assizes court. Itrge
crowds of people gathered In the vicinity
of the court, but only the witnesses, law
yers and reporters were admitted.
A detachment of police of considerable
strength maintained order. Rublno replied
volubly to all Interrogations and whenever
he uttered the word "nnarchy" he talsed
his voice as though exulting tn his con
nection therewith.
The prisoner bitterly assailed modern so
ciety as the cause ot all evil, declaring
he only attempted to take the life of the
king because the latter waa the highest
representative of society.
Rublno added that he had intended going
to Italy for the purpoae of making an at
tempt on the Italian monarch, but he did
not have sufficient funds. During the pris
oner's examination It developed that he
left the Italian army because his offlcera
persecuted him.
The prosecution Included In the Indict
ment a letter from Rublno to a socialist
newspaper publisher in London, Justifying
the murder of Senor Canovas del Castillo,
the Spanish premier, and stating that he
(Rublno) had contemplated killing King
Edward November 25.

That mysterious visitor, "Grip," is now
Invading many homes and striking down
the young and old who are weak or pre
disposed to disease.
It Is now well known that the disease
spreads rapidly to tho various members of
the households Into which It has been In
troduced. It accords with the theory of In
fection, also, that the disease has usually
attacked the persons liable to Infection.
Dr. Richard Rlnely, In hla book on "Epi
demic Influenza," says tho dloasn ts al
most entirely propagated by Infection.
In pant winter seasons It has been fully
and happily demonstrated that Pnlne's
Celery Compound Is a tower of safety when
grip Is prevalent. When this scientific and
health-giving medicine Is used it strength
ens the nervous centers of all the vttnl
organs; tt purifies the blood, regulates
digestion, gives a healthy tone to the whnlp
system, enabling young and old to fori
