Gasoline r'amlne la Crestoa.
CRE8TON. Ia., June . (Special.) 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 In ConTentlon.
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

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 .

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

24 for Captain Cousins. 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!.
For the second nomination for member
of the Board of Supervisors there were
several candidates brought out on the first
ballot which resulted as follows: J. B.
Toung. 28; Hiram Slgler, 81; O. W. Spen
cer. 78; J. Bollinger. 7; J. B. Matlack, 8:
Wllloughby Dye, 27; R. T. Ward, 1. On
the second ballot the nomination went to
Spencer of Neola township by 139 votes to
28 for Slgler and 8 for Toung. Dye of
Macedonia withdrew after the first ballot.

Mcthodlsta to Build New Church.
CRESTON, Ia June 9. (Special.) 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.

State Auditor Carroll today let a preeed
dent In the matter of sale of the business
of Insurance companies doing business un
der the Iowa laws. He readmitted to busi
ness In the state the National Life Insur
ance company of Chicago, which had been

ter which will be sent to the 22.000 holders
of the certificates of ,the National Life and

cular he announced an entirely new policy.
He announced hla decision to require that
the securities amounting to over $860,000 on
deposit In his office to secure the certificate
holders of the Des Moines company, aa
required by the Iowa law, should be kept
on deposit by the purchasing company,
though it Is not amenable to Iowa law, and
that the new company must add to the se
curities ai the value of the certificate! In
crease by neaxlng maturity. In thla way
the business will be. conducted to the end
as though It was an Iowa company.' This

life policies he declares his intention to
protect them to the fullest extent under
the Iowa law.

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. June . The upward move
ment In cotton continued on the opening
today, July, which closed at 11.82c yester
day, opening at 11.94c. August waa up 10
points from 11.18c to 11.28o and September,
which closed at 10.26c, opened at 10.32c.
Other options advanced a point or more.
It was one of the noisiest and most ex
citing openings of the season, September
advancing to 10.30c, August to 11.30c and De
cember to J.eoc. The advance was a con
tinuance of the scare of the shorts started
yesterday, and was attended by.further talk
of a July corner and reports of crop dam
age. The Liverpool cables were lower than
expected on the old crop,, but higher 011
the new, while New Orleans was again
strong, with Ju:y selling up to 13.07c
After the call here there was tremendous
realizing and July declined to 11.85c, whllo
August reacted to 11.19c. The new crop
months, however, held most of their ad
vance and the undertone was nervous and
unsettled.
When the weekly crop report was read
the trading became wilder and more ex
cited than at any other time this session.
Within a short time July wai rushed up
to 12.16, August to 1165 and September to
10.66. these figures being from 12 to 24 points
above the sensational gains made yester
day.
NEW ORLEANS, June 9.-The chief fea
ture of the opening of the cotton market
here today was the advance of 16 points In
September to 10.76c under the rapid fire of
bidding by the bull leader. The remarkable
rise In July continued, that option going to
18.07c at the opening. August advanced 21
points.

BANKS MUST STAND THE LOSS
Epplnger Failure at San Francisco
Worse Than at First
Reported.
SAN FRANCI8CO, June 9.-The Chronicle
today says:
The Epplnger failure Is more sweeping
in its results than at first waa supposed.
It Is now known that the liabilities will
approximate $1,373,000. There Is only about
$650,000 worth of property with which to
pay this and $400,000 of It ia represented
by 20,000 acrea of land on which the London,
Parli and American bank holds the mort
gages,, leaving but $280,000 In warehouses,
stores and grains ' to 'satisfy claims of
nearly $1,000,000.
The absolute loss, with no possible pay
ment, will be approximately $760,000. The
Epplngers will be left practically penniless
and four San Francisco bankers and three
country banks will have to bear the com
bined loss of $750,000.
The committee appointed by the creditors
of Epplnger & Co., the grain dealers, to In
vestigate the affairs of the firm, met today.
After considerable discussion three attor
neys were chosen to institute Insolvency
proceedings in the United States circuit
courts. It waa agreed that the Interests of
all the creditors could best be protected In
thla manner.
One of the attorneys said that they would
ask for the appointment of receivers for
both Epplnger & Company and the Pacific
Coast Warehouse company.
The main committee will report back to
the creditors tomorrow and In the mean
time the members will hold themselves sub
ject to- a call at any time the attorneys
may so request.
