fathers down the county officials In a game
of ball by a score of 8 to 6 at Lake Manawa
yesterday afternoon. The Woman's Chrls
tlon Association hospital building fund, for
the benefit of which the city and county
official displayed thlr prowess on tho
diamond, will reap a substantial sum from
the frame.
The regular game was preceded by a one
Inning game. In which the county and city
"fathers" treated the audience to a show
better than many a circus. While the men
who manage the affairs of the county were
content to don the ordinary habiliment of
the ball player, many of the city officials
were wonderfully and gorgeously arrayed.
Alderman Casper carried off the cake In
this respect. A pair of balloon-like blue
overalls cut short at the knees, bright red
stockings and a sweater made from a guny
sack constituted a makeup which was
startling In the extreme. Alderman Mc
Donald, who has the reputation of being
tho handsomest man In the city council,
with the possible exception of Alderman
Lougee, had encased his Apollo-like form in
a red sweater, ar. automobile cap, patent
leather shoes, open-work socks and kid
gloves, which, together with regulation
trousers turned up at the bottoms, as there
was a report current that It was raining In
Tondon, made an artistic and effete ap
pearance. Scores In Automobile,
Mayor Morgan was a veritable dream In

thing but his every-day habiliment and
nis official dignity, which was much ad
mired by the crowd In the grandstand. City
Electrician Bradley looked formidable In a
foot ball suit and attracted more than or
dinary attention by his bright blue and
white stockings. The other aldermen and
city officials contented themselves with
playing In their shirtsleeves, that Is to say,
they simply doffed their coats and vests.
City Eririneer Etnyre, who was there to
play ball, wore a dark grey base ball suit
and looked as handsome as any of Buck
Keith's has-beens.

Platform Committee and Docu

Lnst Year's Lines.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, June 27. (special.) Prepa
rations for the republican state convention
of next week have all been made. It will
be a large convention, despite the fact
there is only one little matter of differ
ence to be disposed of and that the selec
tion of the candidate for state superin
tendent. Governor Cummins and Lieutenant-Governor
Herrlott will be unanimously
renominated. So also will Chief Justice
Bishop and Railroad Commissioner Pal
mer. For some time it looked like there
would be a fight on Palmer, but this was
got out of the way by agreement, and he
will be accorded another three-year term
by acclamation. The only contest Is on
state superintendent. Richard C. Barrett
Is a candidate for another term. He has
served but three months longer than Col
onel Palmer, who will be accorded another
term unanimously, and Mr. Barrett's
friends resent the fact that the fight has
been against him on the sole ground that
he has been In office long enough. His
opponents are H. L. Adams of Fayette
county and J. F. Riggs of Keokuk county.
Both have a number of counties Instructed
from their immediate vicinity, and both
will enter the contest prepared to make
a hard light. Barrett has Instructions from
counties scattered all over the state, and
apparently will have an easy victory.
The convention will be well attended by
the strong men of the party, the ch'ef In
terest centering in the platform. It Is un
derstood that Senator Allison will be chair
man of the platform committee, and that
Judge Smith of Council Bluffs will repre
sent the Ninth district. The platform will
not differ greatly from the Iowa platforms
of the past two years and the national
platform adopted at St. Louis. The con
vention will be held on Wednesday. George
D. Perkins will be the temporary chair
man. Secretary James Wilson will be here,
and nearly all the members of congress.
Plan for Machinery Exhibit.
The Iowa commission on the St. Louis
exposition has made a beginning for an
Iowa exhibit of machinery at St. Louis.
8. M. Leach, the Seventh district member
of the commission, has appointed A. C.
Hutchlns of Dallas county to have charge
of the exhibit. He will have an office In
Adel and commence the collection of an
exhibit at once. Correspondence has al
ready been entered Into with many of the
manufacturers In the state, and an effort
Is to be made to show that Iowa Is not
only an agricultural and mining state, but
that It Is also making great progress In
manufactures. It Is learned that a Bur
lington firm is to furnish one of the largest
of the engines for the motive power of the
exposition. Mr. Leach and 'Mr. Hutchlns
were Jn conference today with Secretary
Conawey In regard to plans for the ex
hibit. Pennant for si Battleship.
Governor Cummins has received the pen
nant of the base ball league of the North
Atlantic squadron, won by the base ball
club of the crew of the battleship Iowa the
past season. The games were played whl'e
the squadron was in the South seas, two
games at Fort Bonancus, four games at
Palmetto Beach and five games on Culebra
Island. The season for these, base ball
games closed In March and the club from
the Iowa won nearly all the games. The
pennant was sent the governor by the club
through the captain of the battleship. The
cluba were called the Marines, Vixen, Ala
bama, Illinois, Atlanta, Texas, Massey and
Kearsarge. The pennant will be placed In
the state historical collection.

BTTJRGIS, 8. D., June 27. (Special.)
Raymond F. Walter, an engineer of the
United States geological survey, who is sent
out as a specialist on Irrigation and re
clamation, met the Commercial club of this
city a few days ago. He says that the
topography and elevation of the country
do not favor any great, big reservoir any
where In the Black Hills, as the fall Is
too great, all at once where there Is a show
to build, the area of water storage too
limited and no chance to carry the big
ditch to lands where the probable cost of
reclamation could be paid.
Mr. Walter, H. E. Perkins, Max Hoehn
and W. A. Stuart went up to Boulder park
yesterday morning, where a big dam could
be built at reasonable cost, and the storage
waters conveyed to the divides of Alkali
and Elk creeks, but the cost of a ditch of
adequate dimensions would far overrun the
real benefit. Careful measurements showed
the volume of the stream to be about eleven
cubic feet.
Mr. Walter left last evening for Piedmont,
having a proposition to look after down on
Elk creek, and thinks It entirely feasible.
After that he goes down to the Cheyenne
on a similar errand, both Jobs taking up
considerable time. He expects to be In this
vicinity all summer, and states that a
surveying party Is expected In a short time.
He will make a complete investigation of
Meade county, so that If large reservoir
sites cannot be obtained he can select some
smaller ones.
