Van Alen Suit was brought last year by the authori ties -of Pottawnttamle- county to -collect taxes on the stock of the Portland company for five years up to and Including 106 and the cases are atiU pending In district court. Soon after the suita were begun the Port land company proceeded to dlpsolve Its cor poratlon In Iowa and reincorporated In Wyoming. The right of the company, however, to do this has been contested by James Doyle, the plaintiff In the famous suit against James F. Burns, former presi dent of the Portland company and as It Is possible that the action of the company In dissolving Its Incorporation in this atata j nay be set aside Fleener. Schleicher, the lax ferrets, decided it was beat to be on the kafe aide and assess the stock for 1906. So far as the tax ferrets have been able )o learn the ownership of only about five- lilxtha of the stock, but hope ultimately, to itiscovsr the owners of the remainder.

POLK COUNTY REPUBLICAN CONVENTION Ileleawtlea . ta 'state t nteatlea I slrsH-ted fir the traverser, and tm the Caagreaaloaal (' leatlea for Hall. tFrom a Staff Correspondent. ) I'ES MOINES. May 5.-tSpeclal , Tele gram.) Govet nor Cummins today, after a hearing, vetoed the long and short hsul bill, which provided that between com peting points the railroad having the long est mileage could make the same rate as the shorter road without making a propor tionate lowering of rates over the entire system. In his vetd the governor says he recommended the law as to passenger rates, but not as to freight rates, and fears this would discourage the building of short lines. He objects further because the Mil is optional, it Is the only bill passed by the last legislature that he has vetoed. At the - Polk county republican conven tion today Governor Cummins wis au thorized by resolutions to select seventy two delegates to the state convention and Congressman Hull the same number to the congressional convention. The administra tion, of Governor Cummins snd the work of Congressman Hull In eongtess was henrtlly endorsed. After several ballots the convention se lected John Kelley of Altoona as one repre sentative from Polk county, John B. Sul livan having received a majority ot the elegates by vote ot the primaries, which gave him the nomination as one representa tive without s vote In convention. ' The resolutions Instructed the chairman and secretary of the convention to certify as part of the credentials to the delegates the names of candidates for state offices who received th? highest number of votes at the primary held in Polk county on Tuesday, May 1. The adoption of the resolutions Instruct ing for the state candidates who received the largest popular vote gives the delegates from Polk county to D. J. Palmer ot Wash ington snd Eugene Buttles of Burlington for railroad commissioner, D. A. Httea of Polk county for secretary of state, Garst for lieutenant governor, W. ' W. Morrow of Afton for state treasurer, Charles Mc Kenxle of Des Moines for attorney general, John B. Sullivan and Dr. E. E.

Writes of the Assembly. The coming of the Presbyterian general assembly to this city later this month is perhaps the most Important event to take place during the month In this state. The general assembly has met but seven times west of the Mississippi. Dr. Henry Van Dyke, an author of note and a member of the faculty of Princeton university, and prominently mentioned for moderator ot the assembly, has written for publication in one of ths Des Moines papers today tho following concerning the assembly: The great questions at the next general assembly will be those which always come up, ana always outsnt to come up, as tne subjects of primary Importance at such a meeting of Christian men. Home missions and foreign missions take precedence of ail other themes with those wnose chief Inter est is the advancement of Christ's kingdom on earth and the betterment of the world by the preaching and practicing of plain religion. I hope that the assembly, will give plenty of time and its best strength to these subjects. Meeting In the mlduis of the big west, ft ought to have large thoughts snd purposes for the promotion of active Christian work among all sorts nd conditions of men. Other subjects will arise. In regard to the better equipment of the church for Its work. In regard to union snd co-operation with other bodies of Christians. In regard to the warfare against great national evils like Intemperance and easy divorce, and so on. On all such questions in the st- mosphere of Iowa. I believe the assembly will see things In the broad sunlight, and take action which will be at once sound. liberal, practical and progressive. The union with the C umberland church should go forward steadily, and earnestly, with careful regard for all the interests involved, and with fair play for the minor ity who are still opposed to It. A union of this kind is like a marriage made in heaven. It does better with prudent and firm atepa than with an elopement. But forward la the word, when the parties are agreed.

On a flaring patent medicine poster stuck on some piling near old Fulton market. New York, was a startling picture if a big, gray octopua peering out of a htig- chest that was supposed to have once con tained the gold of some ancient buccaneer. The barnacled, irlne-bllHtercd water man who was. sitting on an upturned fish basket before a smouldering blaie of broken boxes dug his freckled hands fur ther down in his faded blue trousers and said to the little crowd of loiterers who were sharing the warmth of his blaite: "That's a mighty queer place for au octopus to hang his hat, but It can't c6nie anywhere near the queer places an oyster will live in." i Then the old man grew reminiscent. "When I was working on a dredge-boa'. In the lower Chesapeake bay." he related, "It was a common occurrence to fish' tip an old iron pot or a rusty teakettle atil find It full of oysters. Hometlmes tho oysters would be packed In Just like you put them in by hand and rlien again one his oyster would occupy all of the pot or kettle himself, Just like some ol 1 bachelors live In big houses all alone. But pots and kettles weren't the only . oyst' r houses, by any means, for I remember one morning we pulled up tui old coffee mill with oysters stuck around )nlde ik, electric buga on the shade of an arc light. " "Demijohns snd bottles full of oyat,ei would come up every 'once in a while and It always puxsled me how the oystei.i ever got Inside the little necks. i:ut Uio funniest oyster house that ever ., cn.o down the river was an old plug hut. I guess It blew off some passenger on on ! of the bay packets and when It. had floated around on the waves awhile it grit too soggy and slowly sank to the bottom. Then the oysters took possession of It and when it came up In a dredge the cap tain was so tickled by Its comical ap pearance that he forgot to cuff any of toe crew all that day. "But something even funnier Uappen-d when we brought up an old set of false teeth with a plump oyster stuck fast to . the center. Mr. Oyster didn't relish losing his anchorage very much and the cull 'r had to give him a couple of stiff blows before he would part from the Urath. 1 wished afterward that I .had kep( It In tact, because I could have won all kinds of money betting people au oyster had teeth. "What do you think of a skull full of oysters? Sort of unsavory, eh? Well, one day we tlshed up a boss skull In th" dredge and It was Just brimming full of ths finest bivalves that- ever hung on u half-shell. somebody had chucked a hoas overboard maybe years before and the oysters bad made a sort of an apart ment house out of his cranium. But. as I said, mates, when it cornea to queer places to live the oyster can give the octopus cards and spades every time." Chamberlain's Cowan Remedy Thor oughly Tested.
