by Governor Cummins: . "',
On tho Jrd and 4th' of September, 1907,
there will be held at Council Bluffs the
fourth annual meeting of the Iowa Good
Roads aasucintion. At the same time and
iluce, the Jowa Highway commission will
iijia Its tlilid annual school of instruction
for road officers.
The subject of the betterment of our
MKhwnys.. Increases In importance with
every year. If the actual loss suffered by
the people of this state-from bad roads
could hi measured and stated, the amount
would be startling In Its magnitude. The
state has Attempted, through its highway
uiiinlnskm, to provide Instruction In the
sdience of road making, and It is very de
sirable thnt the township and county
officers under whose supervision the taxes
levied for road purposes are expended
should receive the benefit of the knowledge
collected by ,the commission.
1 therofore earnestly a.ik the county and
township officers, Insofar as they possibly
eon, to appoint and send delegates to the
meeting at Council Bluffs, assuring them
that there Is no one thing that they can
do for the welfare of their countlea arid
townships that mill return richer rewards
than a few- days spent In promoting the
cause of good roads.

complete road grading equipment, reached

lemetilag Doing; All the Time,
When the strains of Prof. Immerlang
nam's bally-hoo band rend the at
mosphere this afternoon at 1 o'clock It
will be a signal that the gates of the
sixth annual street fair and carnival
Is open and that, In the words of the
pleler, there will be something doing
very minute.
Today will be ctilldren'a day and the
management will see to It that the little
folks have the time of their lives.
Tuesday and Wednesday have been des
ignated as good roads days. Thursday
will be Omaha and South Omaha day and
Mg delegations from both cities are ex
pected. The Commercial club Of Omaha
Is eceheduled to attend in a body. Fri
day will be old settler:' day and It also
will be newspaper men'a day, as the
Western Iowa Editorial association will
meet here that day. Saturday, which
will bring the carnival to a close, It Is
expected will be everybody's day.
The big show In the carnival grounds
will be Esplno's Stadium, and here the
management has centered a large num
ber of attractions, each of which will be
worth, It Is said, the price of admis
sion. Among the stadium attractions
are:
Eugene Trio, the perfect gymnasts, on
triple bars; the marvelous Pransmathes
and Lewis In their death-defying shoolii.g
act; Slwel and Mehtamxuarf In a laughter-compelling
comedy sketch; the elec
trical Smiths In an electrical musical
act. Introducing banjos, mandolins,
guitars, plcdolos, cornets, sleigh bells,
Scotch trumpets and other novelty In
struments, Including the smallest banjo
In the world, and tableau of "Goddess of
liberty," also Introducing flags and
crowned heads of all nations; Ruth Gray,
"the woman wonderful" she divines
your thoughts; Bingham and Sable in a
wonderful musical ; act; Ed Maxell, the
Juggling demon of the tight rope; "Marie
Wilson, the beautiful singer and dancer.
Other Attractions).
Other attractions on the grounds will be
the Penny Arcade, the Electric Photo
gallery. , The trip to the Moon, and this
once taken will never be forgotten, at
least so Secretary Wright says, and he
ought to know as he has made the trip
Just to find out. There will be'- the big
merry-go-rbund with Its btzzare painted
horses, camels and other animals too
numerous to mention. There will ' be a
booth where the maiden can learn the
color of the eyes and the hair of her future
husband, etc., etc. There will be the big
Turkish theatre direct from Rlverview
park, Chicago, with Its dancing girls and
congress of oriental beauties, some of
whom have come direct from the east for
this carnival. There will be the big Ferris
wheel on which a person anxious to rise
In this world can ascend up so far. but no
farther. There will bo several moving pic
ture allows and those who desire to pass
the time by tripping the light fantastic toe,
as they used to say In the days gone by,
can dance until they grow tired and their
pocketbooks give out. .
Of course there are other shows but th'ey
are too numerous to mention and will have
to be seen to be appreciated. "Come early
and stay 'late" Is1 the' adv1?e of Secretary
Wright, Who will bo on the grounds each
afternoon and evening and will " act . as
bureau of Information. Any person not
acquainted with Secretary Wright, can
easily distinguish him by picking out the'
handsomest man In the crowd.
County Treasurer J. W. Mitchell will be
at the gate to take tickets both afternoon,
and evening today, and will be assisted by
John McMahon, Henry Cutler and ,J.- G.
Wadsworth. It will be useless, to attempt
to pass these Argus eyed Sentinels without
a ticket.

The rural mall carriers of Pottawatta
mie county will meet In . the federal
building this morning at 10 o'clock for

FIGHT ON TUBERCULOSIS
Experts Firm in Belief it Comet
Largely from the Cattle.
HEALTH BOARDS DISCUSS PLANS
Howard Clarke "aesed aa a Candl
date for Cona-resstnaa la Opposi
tion tm John A.'t. Hall la
Seventh District.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, Sept. l-(Speclal.)-Flfty
thousand Iowa people have een told dur
ing the last summef how to avoid tuber
culosis by Ihtx lecturer of the Iowa So
ciety for , the . Study and Prevention of
Tuberculosis. ' A trifle over bne year has
elapsed since this society started out A. E.
Kepford as a lecturer to tour the state
and by public 'lectures to spread the In
formation of means and methods of fight
ing tuberculosis. ' Some of the territory
traversed a year ago has been' reached now
a second , time and persons afflicted ars
reporting excellent progress In fighting the
disease by following the directions as to
the open air treatment.
One of the most Interesting and Important
facts disclosed by the labors of Mr. Kep
ford Is that tuberculosis In Iowa prevails
most In the northern part of the state, In
the dairy district, disclosing the fact be
yond dispute that the disease Is largely
contracted from the bovine- tuberculosis
In milk. The society, while attempting to
spread the Information as to the proper
treatment of the disease by the open air
method, has been endeavoring to acquire
for Itself alt the information possible on
the ' subject. The ' northern' part of the
state Is way ahead of the southern part
In dairy Industry. It Is also way ahead
of the southern part of the state in num
ber of cases of tuberculosis.
The disclosing of this fact will result
In the society going before the next legis
lature and asking It to enact the moat
stringent laws possible for the purpose of
stamping out tuberculosis In cattle. It will
be necessary to conduct teats on the most
extensive scale and to quarantine and kill
the cattle Infected with tuberculosis.
The most hopeful discovery made by the
society Is that those persons who are fol
lowing closely the open air treatment and
who began such treatment on the advice
given by the society's agent In his public
lectures are for the most part recovering.
Arrange for State Meet.
The State Board of Health has arranged
for a meeting of the local boards of health
from over the state and the mayors of
the different cities to meet in Des Moines
with the State Board of Health on Novem
ber 12 and 13, at which time It la proposed
to hold a school of Instruction on the new
rules Issued by the board, and It Is also
proposed to have addresses on sanitation
by the leading men of the country. It is
expected that Dr. Melyin of th& ureau
of animal industry of the Department of
Agriculture . at Washington as one of the
speakers on that occasion will; take up
extensively the subject of local Inspection
of meat and dallies. Colonel Francis, who
Is recognized as an authority, will speak
on sewerage, and Prof. ' Kinney of Des
Moines, who Is chemist to the board, will
talk on water purification. Governor Cum
ulns. will deliver an .address of., welcome,
and will talk on general matters of health.
.One of the things that the state Beard
of. Health proposes to do, or hopes to do,
Is to stop spitting on ' street cars and
railway trains and in other public places,
and to better the sanitary conditions on
trains and street cars generally. One of
the new rules promulgated by the board
Is for that purpose. The board Is con
vlnced that a great deal of disease In
these latter days of much travel is spread
about the country by tle unsanitary con
ditions of trains and street cars, which,
have been allowed to go pretty much un
regulated thus far. .-,
Howard Clarke S as vested.
In the hope of compromising the warring
factions the name of Howard Clarke of
Des Moines is being mentioned for the po
sition of congressman from the Seventh
district. It Is being argued that unless
some compromise Is effected Captain J. A.
T. Hull will . be re-elected to congress
easily.. Prouty, Dowell and Coffin remain
at outs, with every Indication that If one
Is a candidate all will be, which gives
no hope of the defeat of Hull. Howard
Clarke has recently formed a law part
nership with Attorney General Eyera and
has thus far frowned down all suggestions
of himself as a candidate ror any political
position. It Is about conceded that to de
feat Hull the successful candidate must
get the most votes at the primary both In
Polk county and the outside, aa there will
be no chance to defeat him In the con
vention, for Hull will probably get more
than 35 per cent and there will be no con
vention. - -.
Political Talk Starts.
Senator Hopkins of Guthrie county Is
moro than likely to be a strong candidate
for the position of state auditor,' and If
A. B. Funk Is not a candidate for gov
ernor it Is more than likely, at least quite
probable, that Hon. Henry Saberson, at
one time a representative In the legislature
from Buena Vista county, will also be a
candidate for the place.
Senator Hopkins Is In no sense a candi
date at this time arid neither is Mr. Sober
son. Yet If things shape themselves prop-
erly ar.d there Is a decided demand among j pther ciasslflcations. In the first classlflca
lils friends, Senator Hopkins will, It is j tln the nge1 bull class, Whitehall Mar
believed, bo willing to be a candidate for ' shall. sired by Whitehall Sultan, took first
the position. ' If Senator Vnmk Is a can
didate for governor, Mr. Saberson will not
be a candidate. Both men como from the
same congressional district and It would
hardly be good polltlca for both' to enter
the field for a state office, and the two
men" are particular friends. If, however,
Mr. Funk Is not a candidate. Mr. Saber
lends ere likely to stron-ly urge
dldocy. '
ron's frl
his can
Mr. Ols O. Roe, head of the lnturane?
department In the auditor's, office ar.d at
one time deputy auditor, Is quite likely als j
to be a candidate and all three men are
strong, cspable men. There are no political
contingencies standing in the wsy of Mr. j
Roe's candidacy and n- business reasons 1
and many of his friends are confident he
will be a candidate. He has had actual
experience In every department of Cio
j auditor's office and in point of experience
i has the advantage of all others In a de
partment that has come to require a great
deal ot technical knowledge and Informa
tion. Veteraa Mar I.oee Aran.

Shorthora Competition.
Iowa Shorthorn breeders reveled In the
shorthorn exhibit at the state fair this
year. In many ways It was a' contest be
tween the descendants of Whitehall Sultan
and Choice Goods. . Tho Whitehall Sul'.an
stock was owned chjefly by F. W. Harding
of Waukesha, Wis.
At Kansaa City some time since, there
was a public auction of shorthorns and
among the bidders was C. F. Mitchell of
Farragut, la. ' There was one shorthorn
bull calf that everybody except Mitchell
agreed was the poorest calf In the lot
Mitchell picked him out as a winner. All
the bidders passed tho. calf by and Mitchell
bought It cheap. At;the Iowa Stata fair
this year it took second ribbon In competi
tion with Anoka Sultan, sired by Whitehall
Sultan and owned by ' F.' W. Harding of
Waukesha, Wis. Mitchell s calf Is Gondo
mar, sired by Choice Goods. The contest
between the two animnts, which were en
tered In the senior yearling class, was so
close that three extra Judxea had to be
railed in to decide the- matter. ' '
Descendants of Whitehall Marshall and
Choice' Good' were In close competition In
and Goad Choice, stred by Choice Gaols,
took second.
In the class of over two years old and
under three, Avondile, sired by Wh'tehol)
Sulten took first and ho descendant of

rumors that Public Printer Bttlllngs had

"It follows as a matter of course that in

be aroused on the part of the disgruntled

RUSSIAN ELECTIONS QUIET
Little Interest Is Being: Taken
In
Selection of (he Third
Duma.
ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 2.-Prellm!nary
elections for the third Russian Duma,
which meets November 4, are now In full
progress, the voters being engaged in the
several steps leading up to the election of
provincial electoral colleges, which will
meet September t'4 to choose parliamentary
representatives. Although the final step
In the elections is only a fortnight away,
public Interest Is far less than In the two
previous campaigns. This is due In part
to the natural decline of Interest In the
third ' meeting of the new Institute, but
more largely to the changes In the electoral
law affecting the hitherto dominant posi
tion of the advanced liberal and radical
parties, which have played the principal
role, and embraced the most prominent
leaders In the political struggle. Although
there pertles have rejected the proposal
to toycott, tho elections, their Interest In
the selection of a body -which they do not
hope to control naturally has suffered.
The third Duma, however. Is looked upon
hero as settling the fate of Russia's ex
periment In parliamentary government. Al
though definitely committed ' to the idea of
representative Institutions, the emperor
was grieved and disappointed by the ro
sults of the previous elections, neither of
which produced a body capable of working
In harmony with, his choKen advisers, and
shojid the changes In tho election law
Btlll fail to bring forth a more satisfactory
