Miss LeBaugh some tlm ago became the bride of Clyde Mo Glnley, a young soldier whose matrimonial escapade brought him Into considerable newspaper notoriety and caused him to be charged with being a deserter. According to Brandt's story, told to the police yesterday, he met Florence while working in a hotel in South Omaha, where he was employed as stableman and she as vegetable girl. She promised to marry him, so he alleges, and from time to time he advanced her money, In all $50, with which to prepare for the wedding. Flor ence, however, at the last moment, decided, so she told. Brandt, to marry Clyde Mc Olnley, from whom she had secured a divorce. She further told him, so Brandt Informed the police, that she was not the first man she had played for a sucker, and not to take it to heart too badly.

KILLED IN -FRONT OF HOME Mr. Clemensten Falls in Front of Big Manawa Motor Oar. ' LIFE IS CRUSHED OUT IN AN INSTANT Waa Making- Effort to- Save a. Child Whoa She Believed to Be la Danger bat Who Escapes Injury. Mrs. Christina Clemensten, wife of John C. Clemensten, 2230 South Sixth street, was struck and killed yesterday morning by a southbound Lake Manawa car at Sixth street and Twenty-third avenue. The acci dent happened almost In front of the un fortunate woman's home and In plain sight of several members of her family. Mrs. Clementsen's right arm was cut off at the shoulder and she received other severe Injuries. When picked up life was extinct. Mrs. Clementsen had been across the street to visit a neighbor prior to accom panying her daughter and son-in-law to Omaha to spend the day. As she was leav ing the neighbor's house she noticed one of her little grandchildren open the gate of her daughter's residence on the opposite side of the street and start to run toward her. Seeing that one of the large closed motors was approaching from the north and fearing that the child might be run over by It, Mrs. Clementsen started to cross the street to head the child off. She would have had plenty of time to get across before the car reached her had she not stumbled by striking a rail with her foot. She fell and before the motorman had time to drop the fender or stop the car the wheels had passed over and crushed the life out of her. Death was evidently Instantaneous, as by the time the horrified members ofgher family, who had witnessed the accident, reached her side, life was extinct. She was , carried to the home which she had left but a short time previously full of the expectation of enjoying the holiday with her daughter and son-tn-law and their family. Coroner Tteynor, after visiting the scene of the accident, decided to hold an Inquest Monday morning. The car was In charge of Conductor C. A. Plunkett and Motorman John McManua. The accident so unnerved both of them that when their car reached tho bam on the return trip they had to be relieved from further duty for the day. Motorman McManus said that he noticed the woman standing between the rldewalk and the track and presumed that she was waiting for a northbound car. When the car was within a short distance of the woman she started to cross the track and he at once rang the bell to warn her. She would have crossed In safety, he said, had she not stumbled and fallen directly across the track In front of the car before he could lower the fender or apply the brakes.

DES MOINES, July 4.-(Special.)-The ef forts of a small coterie of politicians fn .this state, supplemented by the unreliabil ity of the press associations and a few correspondents of outside newspapers, to have the lmpreasion go out to the world that In the recnt republican state conven tion the man who was unanimously selected as again the party leader was the mOBt unmercifully beaten man In the whole con vention, to leave the Impression that the man who wrote the platform and sug gested Its every thought was In fact re luctantly forced fo accept It at the hands of bitter enemies and to rend Into fac tional lines the great governing body of tho convention which was moved by the spirit of compromise these efforts suggest the propriety of a plain statement of the origin, growth and development of the "Iowa Idea" platform of 1903. Here are some facts that will not be questioned by anyone having knowledge. For sufficient reasons they have not before been related In any one connected atory: The Iowa platform of 1901 and 1902. e.i peclally the part touching tariff and trusts was written by George F. Roberts. In February last Governor Albert B. Cum mins was called to Washington and while there took occasion to discuss the Iowa platform and the Iowa Idea of tariff re vision with the national leaders. While there he brought up the subject of the next Iowa platform with Director of Ihe Mint Roberts and In the course of the conversation the latter suggested to the governor that he write out hla Idea of the tariff and trust plana ao that they would have something concrete to work on. The governor did so. He stated to Mr. Roberta, and to Senator Allison, to whom he showed the rough draft, that he was not only will ing but anxious to substitute for the 'shelter to monopoly" phrase, which had been so greatly misconstrued by the dem ocrats and some others, the expressions found In the national republican platform of 1S98 covering the same ground, which he regarded as stronger and more desira ble In every way and expressing more exactly what the governor had all along contended was the meaning of the Iowa platform. It was his suggestion, not that of any other man, that the mlaunderstood and much abused reference to "shelter to monopoly" be transformed Into the refer ence to rates "equally opposed to foreign control and domestic monopoly.' It was Governor Cummins who wrote Into the platform the declaration that the tariff rates "must from time to time be changed to take the place of the, what to him seemed to be, weaker expression of last year that we "favor such changes In the tariff from time to time as become ad visable." Allison aad Cummins in Accord. On the return home - of Cummins and Allison after the cloae of the congressional aession, they took up by correspondence the matter of the wording of the platform. It ia but fair to say that the senator and the governor found themselves, In perfect accord on the tariff and reciprocity planks. They did differ aa to the wording of the trust plunk. Governor Cummins had made of this two planks and they were radical. Senator Allison did not believe, after think ing It over, that the aituatlon fully Justified the complete condemnation of monopolies In the trust plank, to which he had In formally given hla assent In Washington In February. A conference waa arranged In Chicago April 3, between Allison, Cum mins and George D. Perkins. The matter of chief concern there waa the trust plank. Perkins aet himself to the taak of re conciling the views of the two men. He struck out the last clause Cummins had written and wrote into the other plank the sentence: "We do not desire their de struction, but Insist that they shall be ao regulated and controlled as to prevent monopoly and promote competition, and in the fullest measure subserve and ad vance the public good." The remainder of the plank was arranged to correspond to this, and In this form was readily accepted by both Cummins and Allison. Whatever else was done to the original draft waa In the nature of perfecting Its rhetorical or grammatical featurea. The three men found themselves agreed as to the: entire substance of the tariff and reciprocity planks. At a later conference In Dubuque, where J. W. Blythe waa preaent, he made no auggestlon aa to any change In regard to tariff and reciprocity, but merely gave his adherence freely and fully to the draft as prepared. At the very outset of the negottatlona for reaching a common ground Governor Cummins declared that under no circum stances would he agree to a platform ex cent one that contained in the fullest measure the so-cal'.ed Iowa Idea. He would not agree to any platform that failed to express clearly the essence of the views he bad so often expressed In public In re gard to changing tariff rates, to withhold protection from monopolies, and In regard to the give and take brand of reciprocity. C'haages that Were Made. It Is true that the platform Is not word for word rnd letter for letter aa Governor Cummins wrote It. Some changes were made. For Instance, the governor desired that the reference ahould be to "tariff What the Doctor Says .and what the doctor writes, will always be faithfully carried out In the compound ing of all prescriptions entrusted to our care. Substitution we regard aa a crime, and In every particular our patrons cm always rely upon receiving from us only the purest and highest quality of drugs and medicines, whether In prescriptions nr for general use.

The word "therefore" had been In the draft Juft pre ceding the declaration that tariff rates "must from time to time be changed," and that word "therefore" was stricken Out by the fovernor. He did not want the "must" to depend on anything else. It was this little word "must" which annoyed the smal group of stand-patters the day before the convention, and for two hours they worked with the governor and others who had committed themselves to the new wording of the platform to have the word "must" changed to "should" or "o'.ight" or some form that would take the life out of It. Governor Cummin -of used to re cede and Inplsted the wori would have to remain. Governor Cummins would he the Inst man to deny the great credit of all con cerned In the making of the platform or to take unto himself all responsibility for It; but this much Is certain that at no time did Governor Cummins and Senator Alli son disagree on any essential of the tariff and reciprocity planks, nor did they find themselves at variance with Mr. Perkins and Mr. Blythe, who had their part In ef fecting a perfect agreement. Neither did the governor take action "vlthout consult ing with his more Intlina'o friends and supporters and among others who were In formed from time to time of the progress of platform preparation there was H. W. Byers, A. B. Funk. D. W. Norrls, .1r.. WII lard Eaton and othera. On the platform committee, as finally made up, there was Mr. Blythe, already committed fully to the governor'a position. Captain Merry, who was In accord with the wishes of his friend, Senator Allison; Senator Trewln, already committed to the tariff plank as prepared; E. D. Chassell and Judge E. E. Nichols, both In the confidence of the governor and the committee was not one which the governor's opponents controlled In any sense, but a committee overwhelmingly committed to the new "Iowa Idea" plat form. ' Every sentiment and almost every sentence of the platform may be ,'ound en tire In the speeches of Governor Cummins, What la not to be found there Is In tht . national platform of the party. A careful -analysis of the platform will show that It Is not only the sentiment of the governor but his manner of expression. He believes today that the platform more nearly con forma to all that he haa said, more nearly supports hla entire contention In politics. Is stronger, clearer and better In every way than the platform of the past two years In Iowa, and standing squarely upon It he saya that he will continue to advocate the same principles as In the past, and with It aa a text he will continue to make the Identical argumenta he has made in scores of speeches In this state and elsewhere.
