Ores ton la threatened with a gasoline famine unless the railroads soon gut freight from the east to coming Into town. There haa been no gasoline to be purchased of any of the stores for two or three days and the Btandard OH company, which has tanks here and supplies the city and surrounding towns, has none in Its tanks. There Is two carloads of the fluid somewhere on the road between here and Ottumwa, but none to be had In town. Should the railroad fall to get the cars here In the next two days there would be much Inconvenience from the lack of this most necessary fluid. Besides the enormous amount used In pri vate families for cooking purposes, there are many places In the city that use It In engines for doing their work and a large number of business houtei that defend upon It for lighting purposes.

Harmony with a capital H prevailed at the republican county convention of Potta wattamie county yesterday, all the fighting having been done at the primaries and prior to the gathering In the south room of the county courthouse. During the early houn of the morning the Greenshlelds and Conslgney forces got together and It wai known before the convention was called tc order such a combination would necessarily result In the nomination for county treas urer, over which there had been such a fight waged, going early In the balloting tc the candidate from Avoca, L. Q. Conslgney, In the event of Greenshlelds falling to se cure It on the first ballot. This combina tion between the Greenshlelds and Conslg ney forces took the control of the conven- o tJ- nan(J of th- an(, . f , of Eml, t.-... their candidate for the nomination for terasurer. When the convention wai called to order at 11 o'clock by Leorge S. Wright, chair man of the county central committee., every precinct wai represented by a 'full delegation and the courtroom was thronged with an expectant and Interested crowd. Chairman Wright announced the selection of Alderman Charles W. McDonald aa tem porary chairman and Robert Wallace as temporary secretary. On assuming the gavel Mr. McDonald made a short address which wai enthusiastically received. He said: J Chairman McDonald Poars Oil. The people of this county from year to year continue to express their confidence in the principles of the republican party and its chosen representatives In such de- I grees and to such extent mat a nomina tion la regarded as a virtual election Naturally, candidates for nomination work with sp rit amounting to enthusiasm, so tnat todgy tnls convention is conironiea with a number of the best from which to choose for each offlce to be filled. Of ne cessity of these "many that have been called but few can be chosen." I beg that the unsuccessful ones will be In a measure solaced with the thought that every dele gate will regret there are not enough o di ces to go clear around. Another responsibility less local In Its force, but vastly more Important to the general whole of the people, regardless of party, Is the selection of delegates to the state convention soon to convene. It Is conceded by all the leading Journals, nnd they are the pulse of the nation, that what Iowa does In this meeting will have much to do with the platform and doings of the not far distant national convention, and by some It is said where our good governor sits there politically Is the head of the ta ble. Pottawattamie, being one of the larg est, and having the second largest delega tion of any oounty In the state, must needs exercise care today in its deliberations, both in its selection of countv nominees and state delegates named. Differences ex ist, or, more properly speaking, preferences of candidates for our county offices. Let us be guarded that these preferences do not develop In prejudices, so that when the nominee Is named every member of this convention, as well as every republican and f ood cltlsen of our fair county, may pract ice "that noble spirit of emulation, who can best work and who best agree." Perfects Ite Organisation. The convention then proceeded to or ganise by appointing the following com irlttees: Credentials First district, Fred Rohrs; Second district, W. C. Jacobs; Third dis trict J H Bcnflnlrt: Fourth district. Jo- .30 1 8eph Miles; Fifth district, A. F. Clatter 54 . buck; Sixth district, F. J. Knowles; Seventh 1 district, O. B. illanctiaru.

A recess was then taken until 1 p. m. for dinner, during which' time the committee! formulated their reports. On the conven tion reassembling. In conformity with the report of the commlttls, the temporary or ganisation was made permanent and H. V. Battey of Avoca added as reading e'erk. The committee on credentials reported there were r.o contests and the committee on resolutions offered the following, which were adopted: Resolutions Adopted. Resolved. That we reaffirm and adhsre to the great and fundamental principles of re- fubltcanlMn as announced In the last na Icnn! and state platforms. Resolved, That we approve the course of commend the aMe and pat riot 10 adminis trations of Theodore Roosevelt as preal Jent of the I'nited States and of A. B. Cummins aa governor of the state of Iowa. Resolved That we approve the course of the lows delegation In the fifty-seventh congress, and we especially express oir satisfaction and pride in the ab and faith ful manner In which our own congressman, Walter I. Smith, has represented the In terests of his district. Resolved, That we endorse and approve the economical and efficient administration of the aflalrs of this county by our present able and faithful county officers. Dlapitches Bnslaess Rapidly. These formalities completed the conven tion got down to work In a business-like manner and with such dispatch that the namlng of the ticket was finished by 2:30 o'clock. The first nomination on the list was that for state senator, and Colonel C. O. Saun ders was renominated by acclamation. There were calls for a speech from the colonel, but Chairman McDonald said he had made a speech and that was sufficient and the convention wou!d proceed with the work In hand, omitting all speech-making, as the country delegates had to catch early afternoon trains home. He also ruled that Informal ballots would be dispensed with. W. H. Freeman of Oakland was renemU nated by acclamation for state representa tive, but It took two ballots to name a successor to J. H. Jenks of Avoca. there being three candidates for the nomination. The first ballot gave A. L. Preston of Avoca 46?i votes, R. J. Martin of Hancock 74d and J. B. Matlack of Crescent 63, The nomination went to Martin on the sec ond ballot with 924 votes, as against 62i for Martin and 294 for Matlack. On mo tion of Mr. Preston, who was given the privilege of the floor from the lobby, the nomination of Mr. Martin was made unani mous. Two Ballots for Treasurer. Then came the nomination of countv treasurer and It was generally expected that a prolonged struggle would ensue, but the combination of the Greenshlelds and Conslgney forces threw It to tho east end candidate on the second ballot. The first: ballot gave Leftert 73H votes; Conslgney, 53, and GreenBhlelds, 48. On the opening of the second ballot Greenshlelds' delegates went to Conslgney and when the roll call wai concluded ho had S2 votes six short of the nomination, while Leffert had 75 and Greenshlelds, 17. Then the delegates who had remained by Greenshlelds turned the tables by changing their vote to Con-i ,igny and one of the keenest fight, for a nomination in the history of republican b.IIiI. f Vt a. a . a a . yuiiino in x-uuawaiiamie county was -x -. 1 The nomination for sheriff hid been ex pected to result In an Interesting contest but It did not. Edward Canning, former deputy under Sheriff Cousins, had figured ' on having 100 delegates and he missed it! only half a delegate, as on the first bal-1 serve life Insurance companies doing dusi lot he ctfptured the nomination with 89V,1 ness In Iowa on December SI, 1902. wai votes as against 35H for D.

The ballot proved a great surprise to the friends of Sheriff i Cousins. Ed Blade of Avoca, who for sev-' eral months has maintained headquarters in tnis city and made a vigorous cam-: palgn for the nomination, announced hla' withdrawal from the raoe before the first Dauot, Prof. O. J. McManus was given a re nomlnation for oounty superintendent of schools on the first ballot by a vote of 118 to 66 for Prof. H. L. Calllett of Mace donia. nrprlse Over Surveyor. It was generally supposed that in view of the fact that Ernest E. Cook, the pres ent incumbent, had declined to be a can didate again that the nomination for county surveyor would have gone to J. Harley Mayne and an effort to nominate him by acclamation was made but failed. Friends of Thomas Tostevln Insisted on his name going before the convention and the first ballot resulted in his nomination by a nVA M Ally ...l.t sVl M mm . - vote of 4H against 80H for Mayne. When apprised of the action of the convention Mr. Tostevln stated that he wai not cer tain whether he would accept the nomi nation. Dr. V. L. Treynor was renominated for coroner by acclamation and the aama cour tesy was extended Allen Bullls of Wright township for member of the Board of Su pervisor!.

Spen cer. 78; J. Bollinger. 7; J. B. Matlack, 8: Wllloughby Dye, 27; R. T. Ward, 1.

The Methodist church congregation, whose building was torn down by the storm that swept over this city last week, has voted to erect a new building. Architects said that It would cost nearly as much to put the old one In shape again as to build a new one, and as It was too small for the congregation, which Is the largest of that denomination In the state, and the board was preparing to remodel the old one, it was thought best to build a new church. This will be a handsome new brick struc ture of modern conveniences and architec ture to cost between $36,000 and $50,010. Work will be begun on it as soon as the plans can be approved by the conference of the church, which meets next week. Two Horses Stolen. CRESTON, Ia.. June $. (Special.)

Iowa Crop Bulletin. Iowa crop bulletin for week ending June 8: The first week In June brought a marked Improvement, and the weather conditions of the last three dayi caused a resumption of field work In considerable portions of the state, and seems to give promise of th early restoration of seasonable tempera ture, sunshine and rainfall. This Is Im pera'tlvely needed to prevent well nigh total loss of corn and some other important crops. Reports are much more encouraging In tone from the larger number of counties. The greater amount of damage by exces sive rains and floods has been suffered in the drainage basins of the Dcs Moines, Iowa and Cedar rivers. The rainfall for the week ending the 8th was generally light, and the work of plowing, planting and re-plantlng corn has been resumed In upland fields In four-fifths of the counties of the state The present conditions Justify the belief that the amount of Irreparable damage, to crops, though quite heavy In many localities, will not be as heavy as appeared to be Imminent during the height of the Poods. The acreage of corn will, of courso, be very considerably short of the large area planted In recent yenrs. The oats crop Is becoming quite rank, and the same Is measurably true of wheat, barley and clover. Apples and berries are quite promising. Rob and Burn Store. MARSHALLTOWN. Ia., June (Spe cial.) Thieves entered the store of Nason & Whltehlll at State Center yeaterday morning and after helping themselves to goods the value of which cannot yet be given, set fire to the building and made their escape. The robbery was not discov ered until the proprietors began cleaning up the store after the fire. The Are was started In the basement of the building and after making some headway was ex tinguished by the fire department by the use of a chemlca! engine. It was not known at that time that any goods had been stolen, but a later examination showed that a lot of valuable goods had been taken and the fire apparently started to cover up the crime. The sheriff's officers are making an effort to capture the burglars and re cover the goods. COTTON SH0RTSARE SCARED Hasten to Cover and Advance Price of that Staple to Record Figures. NEW TORK.
