Harter Is Parojed.
E. E. Harter, the Sac City man sentenced
to two yeara In the Fort Madison peni
tentiary for passing a number of worth
less checks In this city, breathed th
fresh air yesterday for the first time since
ths early part of January, when he was
committed to the county Jail in default
of ball, and he had the double satisfaction
of realising that as long as he did not
gt Into trouble h would not have to
serve his sentence.
A parole for Harter reached here yes
terday morning and he was released. An
other Indictment, returned by the grand
Jury of Polk county, likewise for passing
bad checks, however, confronted him and
he was placed under arrest again, but
only for sufficiently long to ensble him
to attach his signature, to a $1,000 bond
which his brother In Sac City had fur
nished. .
Ths psrolo provided that Harter ahould
not leave Pottawattamie county, this evi
dently being a mistake, but communica
tion was had over the long-distance tele
phone with the executive office In Des
Moines and permission given to Harter
to return to Sao county. Ths parois will
b corrected.

because they could not talk to the doctors,

the Latter Part of Kezt
Week.
! (From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES. May 24. (Bpeciftl Tele
gram.) Ite reports from the caucuses In
Johnson tnd Iowa counties tonight received j
at Perkins' headquarters show that the I
Cummins forces were snowed under In
Johnson. Perking carried all the wards
In Iowa City and ouy one Cummins dtl.?-
gate was elected from the city. Nine coun
try precincts already heard from were all
carried by Perkins, and out of 115 delegates
to the county convention reported Perkins
has 114. There are eleven country precincts
to be heard from, but Perkins has a large
majority of the county conventions ajready.
In Iowa county Perkins has carried a ma
jority of the delegates to the county con
vention, according to last reports. This
takes thirty-one delegates from the Cum
mins column In 1901 and makes thirty-seven
delegates out of the Second district already
selected .against Cummins.
The Perkins people are rejoicing over the
victory and believe that they will make a
clean sweep of the conventions and cau
cuses to be held the latter part of the week.
They estimate tonight that the week will
add Xi to the number of anti-Cummins
delegates already chosen. If these figures
are correct the antl-Cummlns strength by
Saturday night will number 770 delegates,
thus leaving the governor far in the rear.
Insurance Commlssloa Busy.

such as collecting figures on the amount
of businena done by the various companies,

tailed most of this work to the secretary
