THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: MONDAY, AUGUST 20, 1P06. 3 CURRENT COUNCIL Office, 10 Pearl COUNTY OFFICERS TO MEET ' Tits CoiTiBtioBi Will Be Hsld in Gtraaoil Bluffs This Week. ' ,'S!X HUNDRED VISITORS ARE EXPECTED apeTvlsors, . Tranrri, Andltera, rleeerdero Co art Clerks Wilt Hold Separate .... . fleaalona. Council Bluffs will be the scene of a PUM fathering tHIa week of county officers from ail parts of the state of Iowa. On Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday the state associations of ' county supervisors, County treasurers, county auditors, county recorder and clerks of the district court will hold ' their annual conventions here. While the five associations will make their headquarters af the Grand, each will hold eparats conventions. From four to six bund red visitors are expected here In at tendance on the Ave meeting. The programs Issued by the Ave assocla 'tions for their meetings announce that the sessions will ' be held tn the Grand hotel, but It Is doubtful If all five can be ac commodated there, especially If the attend ance ts large. The Grand hotel has three rooms which could be utilized for the meet ings end the rooms of the Commercial club adjoining the hotel could accomodate one of the gatherings, while the court room at the'.' county court house could be utilised for another of the conventions. The Commercial club will, to a great ex tent, look after the entertainment of the vllstlng officials and It has been suggested to hold a Joint meeting on one of the three evenings and have a smoker with speeches and a musical program' of some sort. If such a meeting Is rwld It likely will be in the large hall In the Masonic temple. For the meetings here the railroads have made a rate of a fare and one-third from all,, points in the state, tickets to be on ale today, up to and Including Wednesday and good to return Friday. The supervisors' meeting promises to be the biggest gathering, as each of the ninety-nine counties have several such officers, while there are only one treasurer, recorder and auditor In each county. With but few exceptions the same is tnis of the clerks of the district court. Up to date no copies of the program of the treasurers' convention have been re ceived here, but all the others have been and have ' been published. The programs Show that the afternoons and evenings of the three days will be practically devoted to pleasure, while the mornings will be devoted to business and the discussion of matters of interest to the several organ isations. . Wednesday afternoon the visitors will be entertained with a ball game between the officials of Pottawattamie and Harrison counties af the South Side park on Six teenth avenue and Sixth street, which promise io be something out of the usual. Mayor Macrae is booked to deliver ad dresses of welcome to the supervisors and clerks: of the district .court, while City Clerk Bapp, who would have been mayor If Dr. Macrae had not received the maT wity .T.

WORK ON INSURANCE REPORT Special Commission Will Close Its Hear in d in Few lays. FEW CHANGES EXPECTED IN FIRE LAWS Attention Betas; Devoted Largely ta Fraternal, Assessmeat and Old Line Companies and Their Methods. Trom Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES. Ia., Aug. 19.-8pecial.) After listening to hundreds of witnesses and Insurance experts from soon after the legislature adjourned In April to the pres ent time, the legislative insurance Investi gation commission finds itself still far from the end of the Investigation. It may have to decide to abandon the hearings further and begin the work of preparing the report In executive sessions. The law that created the commission ordered that the report should be filed with the auditor of state by December 1. The auditor Is to have the re port printed and ready for distribution to the members of the legislature by the time the thirty-second general assembly convenes the second week In January. In' order to have the report printed In time It will be necessary for the commission to begin to turn in the copy for the state printer long before the limit of the time allowed by the law for filing the complete report. For this reason It Is highly probable that before a great while, probably Inside of a week or two, the eommUslon will go Into executive session and begin the work of preparing Its report. It seems probable now that there will be little recommended In the way of changes in the fire Insurance laws. Some of the frre Insurance companies are quite anxious for a co-Insurance law, a change in the pro-rating provisions and the repeal of the Blanchard anti-compact law besides some minor changes, but In the opinion of able lawyers and state officials who have examined carefully Into the matter, the fire Insurance laws of the state need little If any change. The attention of the commls sfen almost wholly. It ssens now. will be devoted to the fraternal, assessment and old line life Insurance laws. It Is probable that the commission on taking up the work of preparing the report will first give attention to the fraternal Insurance proposition and then take up the assess ment companies snd later the old line life companies. There is no indication as to what the commission will report, other than the rather free discussions of the members of the commission with the witnesses that appear before the commission, and the line of questions that are asked. The question regarding fraternals, it Is expected, will be one largely of rates of assessment. With" the old line life Insurance companies there are a large number of questions Involving policy, annual distribution of dividends, limitation of commissions to agents, publi cation of expenses, publication of salaries paid officers and limitations as to Invest ment of funds. Want Grant for President. Thomas G. Orwlg, one of tho leaders in the prohibition party In Iowa, has taken up the task of advocating the nomination of General Fred Grant as the prohibition can didate for president of the United States. He proposes to launch the boom for Grant by securing his endorsement by the Iowa prohibitionists. . . ' Want Land. Condemned. '." .'' ' The Iowa Railroad commission has fixed Tuesday, August 21, as the date for hear ing a petition by the Great Western rail way for the condemnation of land at Dubuque for additional depot and station grounds. Petitions have been filed with tho board by the Great Western for the con demnation of land at Conger, la., for the purpose of constructing a bridge over the Middle river, and by the Atchison, Topeka 4 Santa Fe for the condemnation of land along Its right-of-way through the state for a double track. Cummin a Invited to Speak. m Governor Cummins has received Invita tions from the republican state central committees of Minnesota, Indiana, Kansas, South Dakota and Illinois, asking him to participate in the campaign In those states and make several speeches. He has also received a similar Invitation from the con gressional committee of Missouri, the in vitations being accompanied with a re quest to know how many speeches he can deliver in the neighboring states. The gov ernor will probably not be able to reply to the invitations till he has met with the state central committee of Iowa, along with the other candldatea, when It will be determined what kind of a campaign win be conducted In this state and when it will open. His time will probably prin cipally be devoted to the campaign In this state. There is already some Informal discussion among the candidates on the re publican ticket In this state as to whether the campaign should open early In Sep tember and be carried through two months or be opened late in September and be carried through little more than one month. There Is considerable sentiment for a short campaign. English Bays Interest. Stste Printer-Elect Emory English has. It ts learned, purchased an Interest In the Job printing plant of Lewis it.

LONG CHASE FOR WIFE DESERTER Man Arrested la Sonth Dakota Who Is Wanted In t.rand Rapids, Mich. SIOUX FALLS, 8. D., Aug. 19-(8peclal.) After a man hunt extending half way across the state and back again. Deputy Sheriff Kennedy, of Grand Rapids. Mich., succeeded In running down a Michigan man named Henry G. En&lgn, who was wanted at Grand Rapids on the charge of wife desertion. Ensign took up his residence In Sioux Falls several weeks ago, with the supposed Intention of becoming a member of the local divorce colony, bu evidently his wife de termined that he should not be permitted to remain here the necessary six months to establish a residence and qualify him to Institute divorce proceedings. Deputy Sheriff Kennedy has been on Ensign's trail for about two weeks. Learn ing that he was In Sioux Falls the deputy sheriff came here,- but friends of the man wanted must have kept him advised of the contemplated visit of the Michigan officer, for he left the city quite hurriedly a few hours before the deputy sheriff put in an appearance. The deputy sheriff was Informed that the fugitive had departed for Mitohell and pro ceeded to that city, only to again miss his man. It appears that Ensign visited Mitchell, but instead of remaining, doubled back on his track with the Intention of returning to Sioux Falls. The Michigan officer was so close on his trail at Mitchell, however, that by tele phoning ahead to Canton he had the fugi tive Intercepted and arrested at that place. The prisoner, when placed under arrest after the hot chase, announced that he would return to Michigan without requisi tion papers. Threshing in Sonth Dakota. ABERDEEN. B. D Aug. 19. (Speclal.)

"We didn't realise that coffee was the cause of the trouble until one day we ran out of coffee and went to borrow some from a neighbor. She gave us some Pos turn and told us to try that. "Although we started to make it. we all felt sure we would be sick If we missed our strong coffee, but we were forced to try Postum and were surprised to find it ds- Uclous.

To the Man Who Appropriates $1,000 Annually for Advertising A great many of Lord 8c Thomas 9 most successful clients began their advertising with appropriations of a thousand dollars and even less. THE Lord & Thomas Agency has grown to be the largest advertis ing agency in America through the successful development of small advertisers. Today our volume of business $4,000,000.00 per year represents the appropriations of nearly 700 clients, so the average appropriation is less than $6,000.00 per year. Some of our clients who started with small appropriations are now placing over $100,000.00 yearly with us, and their businesses have grown and are continuing to grow in proportion. The great majority of our clients are now appropriating less than $3,000.00 per year. Our future growth depends upon the development of these $3,000.00-a-year advertisers into the$100,000.00-a-year class. We want an opportunity to show you how YOU can start advertising with a small appropriation and get into the $100,000.00-a-year class. The small investor always is in greatest need of protection for his investment. We realize that the $1,000 appropriation of the beginner means more to him than the $100,000.00 appro priation of the older advertiser. We govern ourselves accordingly. We want to tell you how we safe-guard your advertising appropriation by basing your investment on the only CHICAGO GROWTH OF CANNON BOOM Launching at Danville Last Week & Care fully Pre-Arranged Affair. CONGRESSMEN BACK OF THE MOVEMENT I'nele Joe U Popular With Member of the Lower Honae and Man? of Them Are Pnahlaar His Candidacy. (Prom a Staff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, D. C, Aug. 19. (Spe rlnl 1Th nrealdentlal boom of Joseph O. Cannon has been launched. Its launching la not spontaneous In the sense or spon taneity but a carefully arranged perform ance In which some of the master poli ticians of Illinois not only participated, dui who have had It under prayerful considera tion for months past. Just how far Mr. Cannon's boom will be heard and how long It will last Is a moot Question. In fact It Is not vouchsafed to any man to pre dict what vogue It will attain before the presidential convention of the republican party In 1908. Certain It Is, however, that there are many republicans In the lower house of congress and quite a few sena tors who seriously look upon 'Uncle" Joe Cannon as a formidable candidate for the republican nomination and that It will not be very long before Mr. Fairbanks and Mr. Cannon "meet up" as they say In the parlance of the west for a series of bat tles royal for delegates to the national con vention. There has been a story In circulation for several days here In ie seat of the na tional government that a number of the very shrewdest politicians, Including Joe Sibley of Pennsylvania, Jim Sherman and Llttauer of New York, Machter and Mudd of Maryland, Blackburn of North Carolina, Alexander of Buffalo, N. Y., Cullom, Billy Lorlmer, Mann and Boutell of Illinois, with other congressmen scattered through the remaining states, who believe that the hour has struck for Joseph O. Cannon and that with Illinois sending forth Its clarion call for the Danville statesman to take the lead that other states will fall Into line and that by the first of April. 1908, he will be looked upon as the logical successor of Theodore Roosevelt. This ts entirely pre dicted on the proposition that Theodore Roosevelt will mean In 1908 what he said on the 7th of November, 1904, when he reaf his title clear to the highest office In the gift of the American people, and there aro th6se entirely friendly to Jo seph O. Cannon who are telling It about the country that President Roosevelt told Joseph Q. Cannon In so many words that he would be the neat president of tho United States. Be that as It may the Cannon boom does not lack enthusiasm nor does It lack a sure foundation. Con gressman McKlnley of Illinois Is authority for the statement that the president told him when with other members of the re publican national congressional committee that "Uncle" Joe Cannon would be nom inated and elected president. Of couse "Uncle" Joe la coy and he will not permit hjs name to be used In a state convention until the psychological moment has struck. There Is not a shrewder nor a farther sighted politician than Joseph O. Cannon of Danville, 111. It is a pride with Joe Cannon to be likened unto the lamented Lincoln and he has very many of Lincoln's characteristics. But it Is always the main chsnc with Joe Cannon." What seems to be the height of boldness on his part is the result of studied reflection and aialysli. Wheat seems to be the efferve scence of a big brain Is the careful result of long dlscuaslon with himself. Whut are seemingly expressions of a mind stored with world wide knowledge, homely sayings and expressive comparisons are the results of deep meditations and close examinations.

In conjunction with the coast and geodetie survey, he Is engaged In a series of experiments tn wireless telegraphy which gives promise of revolutionising present methods of catching sound waves and transmitting them to a receiver. All these things Mr. Woods has accomplished In off hours, or really In the night hours. He Is amcng the first to appear In hja office In the morning and the Inst to leave. The secret of this msn's success Is found in the single word "method." Every oay at a certain hour he Is In his office In the cap ltol. On the same day at a certain hour he is In the temporary office of the building being erected for office purposes for the house of representatives and at a certain other fixed hour he looks over the work going on for a like building for the senate. He Interviews the builders, takes up with them the details of specifications, solves the Intricate problems of construction and with his exceedingly efficient Captain Hunt, one of the cleverest men who ever went on a building as superintendent, gets the utmost work possible out of the hundreds who with trowel and level and square and saw and plane are erecting two of the most mag nificent buildings ever constructed for purely office purposes for the nation's leg islators. In the erection of the house of represen tatives office building an Interesting fact has developed In connection with the brick work. The first brick was laid at the site on the afternoon of July S, 1906, and on July J. 190S, there had been laid In the walls 10,830,000 bricks. This is believed to be the greatest number Of brick laid on any build ing in one year In the United States, and probably In the world. One of the causes conducing this record-breaking feat was the remarkable "open" winter of 190&-OS. In those winter months the work continued almost without Interruption from either snow or cold weather, and not more than twelve or fifteen days were lost during the entire winter by reason of weather con ditions. Opposition to Brlaade Posts. There Is no very great hope among the members of the general staff of the army that brigade campa will be established to any large extent throughout the country, local conditions and politics seriously inter, ferlng with any accomplishment of his character. Cities and towns, nearby which are located army posts, will never eonsent to see those army posts reduced and fllnally abandoned, simply becauae it may be the desire of the secretary of war and some of those associated with him in the war office to consolidate posts In one great ramp for purposes of Instruction. Senators and mem bers will be found generally opposing the scheme, although the policy of concentration which has been outlined by the general ataff is commended, most heartily, not only as a money saver, but from the highest military point of view. Some of the older posts of the army, particularly those lo cated in the "buHh." as remote garrisons are called, will gradually be abandoned and the more modern and most accessible gar NEW YORK risons will be improved to the highest degree of efficiency. Reforms In the army are matters of slow growth and they are brought about after endless discussions. The most striking ex ample of a recent refgrm Is the determina tion of tho general staff, through Quarter master General Humphrey, to make our "Tommy Atkins" the peer of the world's soldier, both In esprit 'and In dress, and to this end an English tailor has been In the United States to cut a new uniform for our boys In blue. Bo Vital Is tho change In the new uniform, especially In the cut of the coat and trousers, that already many officers are adopting the new trousers for thedr personal wear and when the American "Tommy Atkins" dons the uniform which Is now being fashioned by a London mill 'ary tailor he Is promised to be the ad miration of the world.
