JAQUITII BUILDS ELEVATOR

Beach the Structure.
WORK TO COMMENCE AT AN EARLY DAY
StrHctnre to Have Capacity of 400,00(1
- Baskets to Commence rlh,
IVblch Is to Re Increase
at Later Date.
Negotiation! which have been pending be
tween the Commercial club and A.' B.
Jaqulth of Omnha, whereby the latter was
to build a large grain elevator In thla city,
were brought to a successful conclusion
yesterday afternoon when the city counrll
at a special session passed ah ordinance
granting the Great Western railroad the
right-of-way to cross 8outh avenue In or
der that It, might construct a switch track
to the proposed elevator.
The negotiations between the executive
committee of the Commercial club, of
which H. W. Binder Is chairman, Mr.
Jariulth anl his associates have been
pending for several months. Mr. Jaqulth
was from the start favorably Impressed
with Council BlufTs as the location for a
large elevator, the only question being that
of securing a tultable site with adequate
trackage. Through the assistance of
Chairman Binder of the executive com
mittee Mr. Jaqulth succeeded In securing
an option on eight acres of ground abut
ting on South and Woodbury avenues, ly
ing between the Great Western and Rock
Island railroads. The tract of land, which
It Is conceded will make an Ideal site for a
grain elevator, lies just south of the
Children Bros, company's factory and
and southwest of South avenue. Following
the passing by the city council of the ordi
nance granting the Oreat Western railroad
a right-of-way to cross South avenue at the
site of the prsposed elevator, the deal for
the purchase of this tract was consum
mated, Mr. Jaqulth paying (10,000 for the
property,
. Located, aa It will be, between the Oreat
Western and Rock Island roads, the ele
vator will have the advantage of trackage
of both aides of It. Both the Rock Island
and Great Western will build a switch to
the elevator, each of which will extend to
three tracks on each aide of the structure
on the ground owned by Mr. Jaqulth.
Mr. Jaqulth, when seen after the council
meeting, said: "I Intend to build at once
a metal-covered working elevator such as
Is known as k "rapid handler." Later the
capacity will be increased from 400.000 bush
els to 1,600,000 bushels by the addition of
storage tanks. The storage tanks will be
of fireproof construction, either of steel or
concrete. I shall probably .form a stock
company, but shall retain a controlling In
terest In It. I expect to have associated
with me one or more active wording part
ners. The eight acres of ground whlrn I
have purchased on South and Woodbury
avenues will give the elevator ample space
for trackage and there will be three' tracKs
on each side of the elevator so that a large
number of cars can be handled without
any delay."

mediately after the announcement of the

It's simply Impossible to tell the story.
Of course we can describe the fair Its won
ders and glories and Its great spectacle In
some fashion. But the fair Isn't the main
thing. It's the American people.
We are great wo of this vast valley.
Here we are with our wives and children.
We wear good clothes. The Jnyhawker and
the blue-Jeansman are not any longer
among us. We are clean-shaven no clod
hoppers we. .We grow good eorn we have
a great, artistic house built of corn and an
other ons of cotton. , We have learned to
keep our cows clean and our dallies are
scientific. Our wives are beautiful women trct and eastern Iowa have sent especially
good looking erough., too. They talk, freely i atrong delegations. The' Scott county dol
witly men and frankly out of their honest ! egatlon came from Davenport today on a
souls, and they are as womanly and modest ! epeclal train and with a band. Twice as
as their grandmothers were who thought It j rnany delegates were named as will be tn-
ornnv to Inull In atranv.r nr .hIMn. ' titled tO VOtCS. The list Includes all the
are here with us eager littlo chaps, with
clean clothes on and a boundless curiosity
in their eyes. We do everything that comes
along heartily. Wo look at the biggest
locomotive and we drink Ceylon tea. Noth
ing daunts us. We ask anybody any ques
tion about anything that we wish to know.
We say to ourselves: "We can do any
thing." We get In a gondola; we rids a
camel. We see Santiago enptured. We talk
with Filipinos. We study Queen Victoria's
Jubilee presents. We gaze on mummies
from the tomb of Ramesea. We study
chickens, flowers, minerals, gowns from
Parla, Japanese silks and furniture all the
same day.
The world Is ours. And at 4 p. m. we
cheer a base ball game. At night we look
upon acres of electric lights as If they
were an every-nlght experience. We walk
miles and miles and never give out. No
man alive can describe these people. They
are a constant Joy. To watch them, to
hear them, .to talk with them, Is the most
Instructive and cheerful experience of one's

are sound and safe, now and forever. There
Is nothing like the mldcontlnental American

LOST COINS IN MAIL BAGS
Keams of lied Tape t'nwonnd
Every Bit of Money Gone
Astray.
by
The lot of a railway postal clerk Is not
an altogether happy one. Ordinarily no
man Is rich enough to escape that certain
sense of elation which comes from picking
up a nickel on a sldowalk; but when a
railway postal clerk finds such a coin in a
mail pouch where It has worked out from
lncufllcient wrupptngs, not only does h
miss this elation, but. It may provoke pro
fanity. For a nickel lost In a pouch of mall In
tra islt becomes a matter for national con
cern. It comes to view, perhaps. Just us a
pouch of m'uil la emptied upon a sorting
table; and when it, has broken away from
the bunch of lettcra and curds and circu
lars, rolled tp an open space on th. tuble,
and there settled down, heads or talis, with
a noisy spinning dance, the cient who llrs't
sees It is "It.'"
A necromancer could have no more Idea
than thu mun In the moon as to What par
ticular package It rolled out of, and If he
"cuiar p
h,ad "na "houiJ, teU. ,he po"luI cterk' th
to the original package. That would be too
easy altogether.
No, It Is a lost nickel from the moment
the clerk has to see It spinning there before
his eyes, and according to the tender gov
ernmental conscience the clerk has to get
ready for the Inauguration of (18.43 worth
of fuss over It.
Fot himself he doesn't dare to go to bed
for n short nap until he has got rid of his
6 cents' worth ot .responsibility to the government-

CLAD TO BE RID OF MAXWELL
Old Line Democrat Pretend to Believe Hit
Bolt ii a Good Thing.
LEADERS BUSY FRAMING UP A TICKET
Old Time Democrats Oat In Fore
ad Will Aksolately Demlaate
the Convention Which
Meets Today.
IOWA CITT, Ia., July 18 -(8peclal Tel
egram.) But one thing has proved of spe
cial Interest In the preliminaries to the
democratic state convention, and that Is
the sensational bolt of A. W. Maxwell,
committeeman for the Eighth district, who
sent In hla resignation and at the same
time sent. his proxy here with W. A. Park
Ins of Wayne county. It was Perkln's In
tention to uso the proxy at the committee
meeting before the Maxwoll resignation Was
known, but It was made public by Max
well.
Nearly all the old-time democrats ex
press great pleasure because Maxwell has
bolted, but declare that under no circum
stances would he have been allowed to aot
as state chairman In accordance with the
election of the last democrstic convention.
They generally express the belief that
Maxwell will not take many out of the
party with him It Is understood he will
make his paper republican, though he has
Intimated he might aupport WaUon for
president.
The committee met today, but did not
complete Its organization, deferring that
until alter the convention.
But little has been done today except
making a slate for nominations, and not
much definite was done In that. Those
considered are: Secretary of state, N. C.
Roberts. Fort Madison; attorney general,
E. G. Moon, Ottumwa; Judge, E. M. Sharon,
Davenport; treasurer, J. B. Romans, Denl
aon; railroad commissioner. W. A. Marsh,
Waterloo, or L. L. Deland, Atlantic. It la
not known how many of these would accept.
The feature of the gathering la the fact
that It Includes so many of the old-timers
who have been out of the party a number
1 of years
The counties of the Second dis-
leading gold democrats. The same thing
was .done In Johnspn county by Judge
Wade's friends. The entire work of the
convention will be alotig ' the line of
strengthening the party for the future and
to making sure the re-election of Judge
Wade aa congressman.
Indications are that It will be a very
harmonious convention and that the reg
ulars will have a big lead, so that they can
compel the sllverltes to acquiesce In their
program. The former followers of Hearst
j are making but little show of effort to
keep the management In their hands. It Is
expected that the troubles of the etata
committee will be settled easily and that
the friends of Parker will control.
The temporary chairman . will be H. J.
Stiger of Tama, and it js probable that
Judge Wade will be 'tmJ permanent chair
man. ; 1.
The democratic committee met tonight.
but no one appeared to present a proxy
for Committeeman MafW?Jl 'of the Eighth

OILY FIC.HT IS OVER COMMITTER
Cwmmlas Folia
Raeh Want Contest.
(From a Staff Correspondent )
DES MOINE8, Jffly 18 (Special.) The
only sign of a contest before the repub
lican state convention next Wednesday re
lates t the control of the state committee.
As at present constituted the standpatters
or antl-Cummln men have one majority on
the committee. It has been known for
some time that they desire to Increase their
majority and make more secure their con
trol and at the same time the revisionists
or Cummins men would be willing to go out
of their way If they could get the one ma
jority necessary to elect a chairman and
manage the campaign. It would matter
very little to either side for the campaign
this year, but both factions. Insofar ns
there are avowed factions now, desire to
have control when the next fight for gov
ernor comes on, and to do this they must
lay their plans this year. There are five
districts which elect committeemen. The
Eighth district will re-elect Chairman
Spence unanimously. The Eleventh district
will re-elect Vice Chairman Soott, a re
visionist, hut some effort was made to oust
him. In the Third district only one candi
date Is as yet considered and that I Dr.
J. 8. Stevens of Cedar Falls. He Is a stand
pstter and wilt succeed one. The revision
ists hod some hope of capturing the dis
trict, but appear to have given up. The
standpatters want to elect In the Fourth.
J. Q. Hempcl of Clayton county, a revision
ist, seeks re-election, but Is opposed by
R. O. Woodward of Fayette. The taming
point was In Cerro Gordo, where the re
visionists won out after a hard fight In a
county generally carried by the other fac
tion. In the Second district the standpat
ters are planning to elect Q. W. Swords of
Icwa City to succeed C. W. rhllllp. A. D,
Dalley of Clinton, revisionist. Is also a can
didate If the standpatters should lose the Third
district and hold all they have now the
complexion of the state committee would
change. This fact Is causing much appre
hension and some hard scheming. The mat
ter will be fought out in the district cau
cuses. FUNERAL OF S. REICHENBERO

JEFFERSON CITlf, Ma, July II. -The
day before the democratic state convention
convenes finds Jefferson City taxed to Its
utmosi to find accommodations for the
large number of delegates and politician
who tiuve arrived and are continuing to ar
rive on every train.
As has been conceded for many weeks,
Circuit Attorney Joseph W. Folk of St.
Louis seems practically assured of the
nomination for governor. Even his most
determined adversaries cannot at this time
name a probable condition that will defeat
him. Notwithstanding the state standard
hearer Is to all Intents and purposes de
cided upon before the convention, there Is
every Indication that the coming- demo
cratic, gathering will prove one' of the
most Interesting from a political stand
point ever held ln Missouri. ,
The points upon which the interests, op
posed to Folk will concentrate are the
selection of a temporary and permanent
chairman and tho naming of the candidates
for secretary; of state add auditor.
The Folk men are trying to force the
selection of Congressman Vandlver, the
manager ot - Folk's campaign, as tem
porary chairman. Thla has aroused the
antagonism of the state machine and a
bitter light will probably result.
There Is a disposition on the part of the
machine to unite with the Folk men on
compromise chairman, but so
far Folk
managers havs replied to all overtures
with the threat that If anyone other than
Vandlver Is selected by the state commit
tee the question of temporary chairman
will be taken before the convention, and
the first test of strength will be made on
that point. j
There are also many contests, principally
of delegations frpm St. Louis and St.
Louis county, which will come before tho
rommlttee on credentials and may possibly
be carried to the floor of the conven
tion unless the protests of the Folk men
arc acted upon favorably.
Folk's "Boodle" Platform.
KANSAS CITY, July IS. A spoclal to the

BABY TAKES A RIDE ALONE
Small Toddler Knjoya a Se vCnty-Flve-Mile
Trip on Street Car
Unattended.
Filled with a spirit of adventure, a I-year-nld
boy disappeared from hla home
In Pittsburg, made a trip of about seventy
miles through the country, and returned
home again without Injury. Before noon
a conductor on one of the Charlerol cars
of the Pittsburg Railway company noticed
a small boy c'.amber onto his car, toddle
VP the aisle and climb Into a aeat. A
man who waa sitting next to where the
youngster wanted to locate himself helped
the little fellow to get Into a aeat.
When the conductor came to collect fares,
the small boy, who wss too young to pay
any fare, gravely handed tha conductor a
worn and dirty transfer. The conductor,
thinking It was a Joke, took the tranafer
and passed on. Tba child- kns't on the
seat and looked out of the window. No
person paid any attention, to him until
Monongahela city waa reached. Here the
I man next to tha small boy left the car.
Aa he went away the conductor noticed
that he had left the boy, and called after
him:
"Hey, tnlstsr, you have left your hoy
behind."
"That lan't any boy of mine," returned
the man. without stopping.
The conductor waa mystified, and ques
tioned the small boy. He aald that his
name was "Willie," but further than that
he could not go. The conductor did not
know what to da with him, but about that
time his absence had been noticed at home
and his flight In tha street car traced.
Frenzied Inqolrlea by telephone located
the missing toddler, and then the conductor
of the car was at ease and took the little
one to the end of the line and back to
Pittsburg. The small boy waa Immensely
pleased with his trip, but he gave tha
eonductor, who was hauling him a' bad
half hour before hla parents were located.'
