OBJECiS OF ALLISON CLUB Clearly Set Forth in Letter Addretied to Senator Dolliver. ARRANGING FOR BIG MEETING Permanent Organisation Is Effected with a Member of the Exeetitlve Committee In Each Precinct In the County. "The Pottawattamie County Allison club, the first to be organized In the state. Is composed of active republicans who favor the re-election of our senior senator to the senate of the United States. It Is not In tended to foment factional differences In the party In this state or to further the political ambitions of any man or set of men but rather to allay factional feeling and unite the republicans of Iowa so far as possible In the support of our dis tinguished fellow citizen who has so long and worthily represented a united party, whose acta and Influence have uniformly been cast on the. side of -the people and whom we believe to be at this time pe culiarly fitted by ability, experience, posi tion a.id temperament to be of value to the nation, the state and to republicanism." This excerpt from the letter of Charles M. Harl, president of the Pottawattamie County Allison club, to Senator Jonathan P. Dolliver, Inviting him to address the republicans of Council Bluffs on the life ami public services of his venerable col league In the upper house of congress, read at the meeting of the club last night. In dicates clearly the purpose of the organiza tion. A copy of the letter conveying the In vitation to Senator Dolliver was sent by Mr. Harl to Senator Allison and the latter, In his reply, which was also read at the meeting last night, said: "I appreciate highly the early action taken by my repub lican friends In Council Bluffs and I am sure this early action will be of great value In the campaign." President Harl made a stirring address In which he declared that the present schism in the republican ranks In Iowa was due to political unrest or hysteria and that this condition was being taken advantage of by some, to further their own Interests. The situation was such, he said, that it behooves the republican party to present a solid front. "William B. Allison, the man who wields the most potential influence. Is pre-eminently the man In the state of Iowa upon whom all factions can unite," de clared the speaker In concluding.

MOVE TO WIND I P RECEIVERSHIP Petition Filed In Court by Adminis trator of Officer Estate. J. J. Stewart, administrator of the estate of the late Thomas Officer, filed a petition In the district court yesterday asking that the affairs of the receivership of the Officer & Pusey bank be wound up and the assets In the hands of the receivers distributed among the creditors. The petition recites that the order of court Issued on January 13 of this year that tho administrators of the estates, ot Thomas Officer and W. H. M. Pusey turn over to the receivers of the defunct bank ing firm all the moneys In their hands, had been compiled with, the estates closed and the administrators discharged. The petition also sets f 'rth that the riceivtr shlp has been pending about seven years and should be closed up. All of the prop erty, It states, has been sold except the mining property In Colorado, which Is of doubtful value.

To this end he asks the court that an order be made that all property. Including the doubtful claims, unavailable assets and the Interest In the mine held by the receivers be advertised for sale, a day set and the whole sold et aucttor) for cash and distributed among the creditors made without further delay.

Four Cor ners Correspondence, Madison Chronicle. Advice Don't ask the editor to publish a list of wedding gifts or add to the terrors of death by appending to an obltuaiy a lot of doggerel and call it poetry. Don't Im pose on the editor by giving him old news paper clippings "Just to fill up." If you are anxious to see him fill up bring him a country ham, a few pounds of sausage or a gallon ot sauer kraut and he will take pleasure In filling up on that. Auburn Granger. No News Is Good News When you look over your local paper and see the scarcity of news don't kick, but simply think of the old adage that "no news Is good news." The lack of news means that the town and community has passed another week and that no friend or neighbor has crossed the river of death, no babe has been born to brighten some home, no man or maiden has been foolish enough or not to as the case might be to part with single blessed ness. The scandal you heard about last week has been all hushed up and John and Mary are living together again. Philoso phers say that those people who make the least history are the most happy.

GQMPERS TO BRANDENBURG Labor Leader Says Doaial of Magaslne Writer Haa Maay Weak Spots. - , . " ' f n NORFOLK, Vs.. Nov. 22.-At yesterday's session of the American Federation of Labor President Gompers, with Vice Pres ident O'Connell in the chair, replied to the denials sent from New York last night by Broughton Brandenburg, who declared that he was the man referred to by Pres ident Gompers In the tatter's charges of an attempt to bribe Gompers, denied that he made any such attempt to bribe, also that he had any connection with the National Association of Manufacturers. President Gompers said In part: "I want to call your attention to the fact that If Brandenburg only desired to consult about a publication why was It necessary for him to urge me to see him la private; why was it necessary to assume a false name; why so much secrecy? Why did he In his letter to me urging that I come at once to New York.' to use the language he did, saying It was necessary for me to come at once 'as matters were coming to a crisis?' Why could there have been such a crisis between two men who had only a passing acquaintance if only a public action waa Involved! If there was no attempt to bribe, upon what other basis did he hope that I was going to abandon my life's workT All the circum stances link by link show that it was Brandenburg who came to me as a repre sentative of the National Manufacturers' association, even disregarding the state ment that he told me directly that ha represented this association, whose purpose was to attack and destroy and bribe the men of labor In order to strike at the or ganisations themselves. Why was It necessary for him to reassure me that ha represented the manufacturers' associa tion, coming to me with warrants Issued and signed by the Century syndicate, an auxiliary of the National Manufacturers' association, the marks of the latter ap pearing in no less than two instances; on the warrants presented. The Initials In one Instance and the full name of the manufacturers' association spelled out In the other. Those warrants were .eight Inches long and four or five Inches- wide, such as are used In ordinary business houses to safeguard their money transac tions, t "Immediately after my speech yesterday I was Informed by Delegate Jerome Jones that about the time I told of having re ceived letters from Brandenburg urging that I go to Edgefield. S. C, for a confer ence, delegate Jones saw Mr. Van Cleave, the president of the Manufacturers' associ ation, and another man. In close proximity to Edgefield. I am willing to stand be fore the dulegates, the rank and file of labor and the genersl public for them to Judge the meaning of this man's great secretlveness, the mystery which he threw around the whole affair and the documents produced by me. The key to It all Is that I declined to act as he wanted me to set." A great ovation to Mr. Gompers followed. After prolonged debate today Involving I Important Jurisdictional questions between the steamfltters and plumbers on one side and the carpenters and amalgamated wood workers on the other, the federation In the first dispute provUed for a committee from each side, with Mr. Gompers as chairman, to adjust the dispute, the executive council, in rase of failure to arrive at an amicable agreement, to determine the matter. The steamfltters were given abaoluto Jurisdic tion over ateamflttlng work dons by plumb ers in small cities and elsewhere. The convention this evening took up the brewery workers' controversy, involving the revocation of their charter because of refusal to relinquish Jurisdiction over the brewery engineers, firemen and workers. A hard light is being made for the return of the charter. - Users of ejaiekt saiao Sftet Polish ay it Is the best and most lasting polish they have ever used.
