Neither are we seeking- for office, favors, nor for party rwumi" loause party llnee should ' be obliterated when a man Is placed In an office of trust. Our Invitation has come because we have been Instructed to not only pray for, but also to tiooor, our rulers. The fundamental prin ciples of Baptists In all aare-j hss been to observe closely the Instructions of the writ ten Word. Because of this Royer Williams founded Rhode Island,. Also, Rhode Island refused to ratify the constitution until there should be Incorporated In It the teachings 'Of -God's Word on soul liberty, which means separation of church ana State, freedom of speech and worship.

The dark cloud of secession was rising In the south.

JUha A Cue ' IOWA PLEASED WITH TICKET Platform Also Suits All Tactions of Eepnb licani in Thii State. ARRANGE BIG RATIFICATION MEETING May Flae Tkese Owaere Resalte Oa Railroad Reports Deaf School Contract to Be let-Tseae Raves a Life. (From a Staff Correspondent) DES MOINES, June . (Special) The republicans of Des Moines and Iowa have taken kindly to all that was done by the republican national convention at Chicago last week, and almost without a dissenting voice thev are declaring that the ticket and platform are satisfactory. It Is very probsble that at an early date there will be a meeting arranged here when the party leaders will be asked to address the voters in regard to the issues which will be up this year. It may be held about the time of the republican stats convention In July, when a large number of the republicans of the state will be gathered here. Both factions in the state appear to be well satisfied, but the revisionists go more Into details than the standpatters and point to the close relationship between the national platform and their views as expressed. It is the expectation that all the leading re publicans of the state will go on the stump and do much In the way of making the campaign interesting. Senator Allison, owing to his age, does not Intend to do a great amount of speaking, but the younger leaders like Senator Dolllver, Governor Cummins, Captain Hull. 11 , H. Hubbard, R. O. Cousins and Secretary Shaw are ex pected to do a vast amount of speaking both in the state and outside. The state campaign will not be organised until after the July nominating convention,' when the committee will reorganise. There Is no probability of any change in the leadership of the committee, as nearly all the present members will remain. In only one district has there been any fight made. That Is In the Fourth, or northeastern Iowa, where the revision committeeman, J. G. Hempel, was made the subject of attack by the standpatters. The fight was fought out In Cerro Gordo -county between revisionists, led by Thomas A. Way, and the stand patters, led by J. K. Blythe, and the former won, which assures that the Fourth district member will be of the revisionist faction. ' Jogging Vp Telephoae Men. Secretary Davidson of the state execu tive council Is making out to the managers or owners of telephone companies that have as yet failed to make reports, a last notice In which he declares that unless re ports are received within three days they will be placed on a list recommended for fines, and that the state authorities have a right to fine these delinquent telephone owners 1100 a day for each day they fail to make reports. The state has had a great deal of trouble securing reports from many of the fanner linesj and the law requires that all shall be reported and be assessed. A good many of them have gone on ths theory that where the lines are not oper. ated for profit they do not need to make the assessment returns. . . ' ' - . Saved by Raral Telephone. A remakable case is reported from Mont gomery county of the good use of a rural telephone line In stopping a runaway mule and saving the life of a baby. William Mouser had hitched a mule to a buggy and the family was getting ready to go to church. A 14-year-old daughter went out to the buggy with an 8-months-old baby and placed him In the buggy, ex pecting to step In and hold the child while waiting for the father and mother to come. The mule ran away with only tha baby in ) the buggy. Mrs. Mouser telephoned down the road and about a mile away a woman rushed out into the road and stopped the runaway mule. The baby had dropped down into the buggy but was unharmed. , ' ' Retirement of Old Engineer. It is announed that Engineer G. J. Zer wekh, of the Rock Island road, has re tired after nearly forty years of - service with that company. He was responsible for the head-end collision at Marne some time ago, when two engines got' together, but no person was Injured. Both crews jumped and saved themselves. He promptly telegraphed his superior and acknowledged that ho had forgotten his orders, and he immediately quit the road. He had been one of the oldest engineers on the road and most trusted. He went to Btuart in 1870, when1 the Rock Island shops were established there, and then removed to Valley Junction when that town was built Veterinarian Gees te Philippines. Dr. C. W. Stevens of Knoxville left today for the Philippines where he becomes a United States inspector of horses In the regular army service. He is to receive $1,800 a year and to have charge of the Inspections at Manila. Ha had applied for the position of Inspector of horses at Fort Des Moines, which is to be made a depot for army horses, but was appointed and ordered to go to Manila. Bidders oa Deaf BchooL There have been many contractors ask ing for plans and specifications for the new state buildings at ths deaf school at Council Bluffs, and It Is expected that a number of bids will be opened there on Tuesday next Chairman Robinson of the State Board of Control, and John Cownle, with Architect Liebbe, will go there to open the bids and If possible let the, contract to be let at that time, as it in cludes an administration building with two large dormitory wings, and the location la such as to make ths building expensive. Flaal Flgrares en Railroads. The last of the reports of the railroad companies to come la was the Tabor sV Northern, and now all the roads have re ported and the results tabulated.

' BIG SHIPS 0FTHE OCEAN Leaarer and Longer Grow the Ships Betlt to Traverse the Atlaatto. v The largest steamship In the world Is to be constructed for the Hamburg-American line. This new leviathan of the Atlantic la to have a gross tonnage or cargo dis placement of 84,93) tons, a length of 710 feet width 76 feet and depth 64 feet The Great Eastern, the leviathan of 1859, had a tonnage of 18,915, a length of 691 feet width of 83 feet and a depth of 48 feet The Great Eastern was a failure not be cause It was too large, but because Its construction was faulty. 8lnce the Great Eastern was broken up. In 1888, several vessels as large or larger have been constructed and are now In service. The Deutschland of the Hamburg American line, constructed for speed as well as carrying capacity, has a gross tonnage of 18.000, and Is 68 feet long, 67 feet wide and 44 feet deep. The Kaiser Wllhelm II of the North German Lloyd, with a tonnage of 19,500, has a length of 707 feet a width of 72 feet and a depth of 57 feet ' The Oceanlo of the White Star line Is 704 feet long and has a tonnage of 17.274; the Celtic has a tonnage of 20,904 and Is 700 feet long; the Cedrto Is 700 feet long, with a carrying capacity of 21,000 tons, and the Baltic, with a cargo displacement of 24.000 tons. Is 725 feet long. The Coltlo, Cedric, Baltlo and Kaiser Wllhelm all are larger than was the Great Eastern, and the Oceanlo has a larger structure. AH of these are exceeded In sise and car rying capacity by the new cargo steam ships Minnesota and Dakota, Constructed for the Paclflo trade by the Great North ern Railway company. Each of these Is to have a cargo displacement of 28,000 tons, and they were planned to be the largest cargo steamships afloat Now It Is pro posed to float a steamship heavier by 6,000 tons, and of greater length, width and depth than any ship now afloat except the Baltic There has been increase In sise of vessels In all the great steamship lines. The Phil adelphia and New Tork of the American line have tonnage of 10,787; the St. Louis and St. Paul a tonnage of 11,69. The Cam pania and Lucanla of the Cunard line have a tonnage of 12,950; the Saxonla a tonnage of 14,281. La Touralne of the French line has a tonnage of 9,778, and La Savole a displacement of 15,000 tons. The Kaiser Wllhelm der Groese of the North German Lloyd line has a displacement of 14,349 tons, and the Kaiser Wllhelm II a displacement of 19.500 tons. Meantime war vessels have Increased tn sise as rapidly as cargo and passenger steamships. The battleship Texas has dis placement of 6,315 tons, the Oregon 10,283 tons, the new Maine 12.500 tons. Tho Idaho, under construction, will have a displace ment of 13,000 tons, the Rhode Island 14,000, the Nebraska 15,000, the Kansas 16,000. i The New Tork, our first armored cruiser, has a displacement of 8,200 tons, and the armored cruisers under construction a dis placement of 14,500 tons. There has been relatively as great Increase In size of cargo steamers on the lakes. The Great Eastern was at once a warn ing and an example. Naval architects learned from the experience of that vessel what to avoid and what to develop. The result is larger vessels of greater speed, and there Is no reason to believe that ths new Europa of nearly 35,000, tons will not be as serviceable as ,the Baltlo of 24,000 tons. Chicago Inter Ocean. RED NECKTIE FATAL TO CAT "Frosty" Gepp of Jersey . City feats One and Closes His Earthly Career. Red neckties are fatal to cats. No more throwing of shoes.: jcoal, hair brushes or other articles at toms and tabbies who give al fresco concerts on back fences after midnight Simply fasten a string of red neckties on the fence and sleep In peace. The red necktie cure for disorderly cats was discovered by Edward Gepp, an ice man,' who' lives at 237 Warren avenue, Jer sey City. Preparatory to attending a pic nic Gepp donned .his new gray suit and then looked about for a brilliant red neck tie which he had bought expressly as a daxsler for the occasion. The necktie could not be found and Gepp said things that we wouldn't say at a prayer meeting. . A plaintive "Meow!" from Frosty, the offi cial mice hunter In the Gepp family, at tracted Gepp's attention. Frosty was un der the bed. In answer to tha Iceman's kindly remark. "What's the matter, old boyT Have you ' got a painT" the cat crawled from under the bed, uttered an other "Meow I" and looked appeallngly at his master. There was a red colored froth on Frosty's lips and gray whiskers. 'After gazing at' ths cat for a moment Gepp ejaculated: "Well, I'll be blessed!" Grabbing his new straw hat Gepp took the cat in his arms and ran half a block to the headquarters of the Society for (the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, To ths desk sergeant Gepp said: "Frosty's eaten my new red necktie. It's loud enough to choks a horse, let alone this old cat Please take It away from him or he'll die sure." The society's veterinarian waa summoned; ether was administered to Frosty and ha was cut open. The necktie, greatly dimmed by the process of mastica tion, was removed and the stomach sewed up. "The operation Is a great success," sol emnly declared the veterinarian. Frosty failed to respond to the efforts to revive him, however, and when the Iceman said: "What are you glvin us? . Th' old cat's dead," the veterinarian put a steethoscope to Frosty's side, listened a moment and then said: "You're right; heart failure; too much red necktie." Gepp walked sadly home and told the members of his family to be sure and keep his other red neckties where Frosty's suc cessor wouldn't be able to get at them. Chicago Inter Ocean.

MILES MAY BE NOMINATED Prohibitionists Hare Him on List for Stand ard. B oarer, NATIONAL CONVENTION MEETS TUESDAY Good Field of Presidential Caadlds Willing to Be Placed at the Head of the Ticket If Keeded. INDIANAPOLIS, InO, June ?S.-Tbe na tional prohibition convention will meet In Tomllnson hall, ' Indianapolis, Tuesday. State Chairman Mswlln, who has had charge of the arrangements, says It will be the most enthusiastic national gathering the party has ever had. There will be a conference of state chairmen and secre taries In the afternoon at ths Claypool hotel and tn the evening the Intercollegiate oratorical contest will take place, with six competitors. The national committee will meet at the Claypool hotel. The convention committee will meet at the hotel Wednesday at ( and the first ses sion of the convention proper will open at 10, with National Chairman Oliver W. Stewart of Chicago presiding. The tem porary and permanent chairmen will not be selected until Tuesday evening. The nominations for president and vice president will not be made until Thursday afternoon. It Is still an open question whether General Nelson A. Miles will ac cept the nomination. He hae -left for an unknown summer resort without leaving any definite statement behind. Othfr names mentioned for the presidential nomination are Alfred L. Manlerre, New Tork; Prof. A. A. Hopkins, Hornellsville, N. T.; Dr. Silas C. Swallow, Harrisburg, Pa.; A. G. Wolfenbarger, Lincoln, Neb.; Dr. E. L. Eaton. Allegheny, Pa.; T. R. Caskadon, Keyser, W. Va.j I. H. Ames, Portland, Ore.; H. B. Metcalf, Pawtucket R- I.; James A. Fate, Harriman, Tenn. Some Want Postponement. There is a ' faction of powerful temper ance advocates who believe that General Miles should be nominated by the conven tion, other favor the postponement of the convention until after that of the demo crats, so that the platform and the can didates nominated In St. Louis can be In spected before the prohibitionists get to work. In addition there will probably be a strong coterie of western temperance people, who are smarting over the removal of the national convention from Kansas City to Indianapolis, and may seek to ex press their disapproval on the convention floor. Dissatisfaction of any or all of these factions may crystallize into opposition to National Chairman Oliver . W. Stewart, of Chicago, who leads the contingent among the prohibitionists who believe that they are a political party, not simply a temper ance organization, and therefore should act Independently of all other political or ganisations.

Last Monday morning 126 claims had been adjusted by the Metro politan .and 115 by the Prudential, amount ing to flS,400, and fifty by the John Han cock, amonntlng to about 810,000.
