At the monthly meeting and lunch of
i the' Commercial club at the Grand hotel
' last night. Captain A. Overton, an old
( steamboat man, gave It as his opinion
that, the navigation of the Missouri river
j was practically an Impossibility nowadays
ion. account of the difficulty of obtaining
i fuel. In the old days. Captain Overton tx-
plained, steamers could stop at almost any
point on the river and repienisn tne supply
of fuel from the timber along the banks.
Nowadays, however, a steamer would have
to, carry coal for fuel, and the amount of
coal necessary would preclude the boat
carrying any other cargo. Captain Over
ton's talk was interspersed with many in
teresting stories and Incidents of ,the old
I days when steamers plied up and down the

REPUBLICANS IN THE OPEN
Candidates for Mayor Talk on Law
Enforcement.
ALL ADHERE TO THE DOCTRINE
Maloney, the Lone Democratic Can.
dlaate, Dodges and Simply Bays .
".No One t an' Dictate to Him
What Ha Shall Do."
The three candidates for the republican
romlnation for mayor announced yester
day morning that they would save the
Ministerial association the trouble iof send
ing a committee to Interview them regard
Ins their position aa to law enforcement
by Issuing statements as to where they
stand on this at present all-Important ques
tion. H. II. Field authorised the following
statement:
To the Cltixens of Council Bluffs-While
doubting the necessity of establishing the
Inquisition, I am free to say that. If I
sm elected mayor I shall take the oath
of offlqe, which would mean that the laws
of the state and ordinances of the city
would be enforced. I ri-cognize no right
of anyone to say what one shall or shall
not be respectrd. H. H. FIELD.
Councilman Wallace stated he had writ
ten the Ministerial association a lette In
which he had defined his position. It Is
not known yet whether "the ministers In
tend to make Mr. Wallace's letter public
or not. Mr, Wallace said he was not
only willing, but desirous that the com
munication be made public. While ad
mitting that a candidate would promise
almost anything, Mr. Wallace said:
I am In favor of a strict enforcement
of the mulct law. If the saloon keepers
do not obey the law they should be pun
ished. I would not monkey with them at
all and I would enforce the law If it took
forty policemen to do It. If a saronn keeper
were shown to have disregarded the law I
should revoke his license. 1 am absolutely
opposen to gambling and should do all in
my power to enforce the law In thla re
spect. Owners of buildings should not rent
for such a purpose.
Thomas Q. Green, who, at the tlma he
announced his candidacy for the repub
lican nomination. Issued a statement set
ting forth his position as to law enforce
ment In a letter to E. H. Lougee, one of
his friends who had urged him to become
a candidate, said: "I could not make my
position any stronger than It was stated
in my letter to Mr. Lougee at the time I
consented to be a candidate. My state
ment at that time is my statement now."
In the letter referred to, Mr. Green said:
I bolleve that respect for the law can
only be maintained by the strict enforce
ment of every statute, and would expect
to emphasize my position In this matter
by insisting upon carrying out to the let
ter1 the Isws regarding gambling, which
would mean tho closing ut thee Institu
tions In Council Bluffs permanently.. The
saloons, in my Judgment, should be -r-qulred
to live up to the strict terms of
toe mulct law, and I would use every
means In my power to see that they were
so conducted.
Councilman Maloney, candidate for the
democratic nomination for mayor, when
asked yesterday for a statement, said:
The ministers have not called upon me
yet, and I don't know what 1 should toll
them If they should call. 1 do know one
thing, however, and that Is if I am elected
mayor 1 am going to he boss of the situ
ation. No one la going ta ,tell me how to
run the city. If, however, anybody wania
to give me good advice I shall be glad to
listen to it, because I always llstvn to
good advice, but no one can dictate to me,
unless it be my wife.

COUNTY CANDIDATES COMING OCT
Primary a I.on Way Off, hot that
Does Mot t'oant.
Although the primary election Is not until
June 2, candidates folk the republican nomi
nations for the severall county offices to be
voted on this fall are coming out rapidly.
The old fight between the "standpatters"
and "progressives" evidently i still alive,
and present Indications are that this will be
the Issue In the forthcoming county cam
paign1. Both factions will, it Is believed,
have candidates In the field for several of
the offices the incumbents of which are
now serving their second terms. ,
County Attorney J. J. Hess has decided
to seek a renomlnation. So far but one
other candidate has appeared "rn the field.
John Fletcher of Avoca, who Is said to be
the choice of the Cummins faction, haa an
nounced hia candidacy.
H. V. Battey, clerk of the district court.
1 still "considering" whether to seek a re-
nomination or not, or give J. N. Tolllnger,
nis aepuiy at Avoca, a clear field. Mr. Tol
llnger haa, however, taken the bit in his
teeth and announced hla candidacy whether
Mr. Battey decides to run again or not.
County Treasurer James W. Mitchell,
who Is now serving hla first term, will, it.
Is expected, meet with no opposition for
renomlnation, as It Is generally conceded
that he is entitled to a second term. It is
also understood that County Superintendent
of Schools E. R. Jackson will not encounter
any opposition for renomlnation.
The nomination for sheriff will, accord
ing to present Indications, bring out the
largest number of candidates. Sheriff
Canning has announced that he will not
seek third term and thla gave his deputies
a free rein. With the exception of Jailer
Gallup, they are all in the field. To the
list of deputies must be added George
Turner of this city. Slade of Avoca. Adams
of Walnut and probably others who will
show up later:
W. C. Cheyne has not yet announced his
Intentions as to whether he will seek a
renomlnation for county' auditor or not.
His deputy, John Pusey, some weeks ago
announced he was a candidate for this
nomination and there likely will be one
candidate and possibly more from the east
end of the county.
So Jar as the county recorder's office Is
concerned there has' been little or no talk
up to date. The present Incumbent, G. G.
Baled, who is serving a second term, has
declined to state yet whether he will be a
candidate for renomlnation or not.
It Is said there will be aeveral candidates
for the Board of Supervisors, three mem
ber of which are to be elected this fall.
County Surveyor J. II. Mayne Is out for
the republican nomination for city engineer
and being the only randidate in the field
will undoubtedly get It. If he falls of elec
tion it is understood he will seek a re
nomination for his present office.

Debating; Interest Rons filch.
FORT DODGE. Ia.. Feb. .-8peclal.)-Debatin'g
interest runs high In the city
because of two Inter-scholastlo debatea
which the high school holds with Clarion
and Cherokee this month. Next Friday
the second team of the school will go to
Clarion to debate the Iowa Debating
league question, "Resolved, that a lim
ited disarmament of the leading powers
would promote the civilization of the
world." Three hundred supporters of the
affirmative side of the question will sup
port the team from this city In their ef
fort to convince the Judges that disarm
ament Is not a fallacy.
February I, Cherokee will come to this
city to debate the same question. The
first team of the local high school will
deny the question. The' winner will de
bate the winning school of the northeast
district of the state and if victorious will
figure In the final debate for the state
championship. Fort Dodge secures the
championship in 1907 through default of
Iowa City. Neither city would change
aides and both were defending the nega
tive question debated last year.

(From a Staff Correspondent.!
DES MOINES, Feb. . (Special.) At tha
next session of tha legislature two bills
will be presented, one to provide for
stamping out noxious weed, and the other
to stamp out tuberculosis In cattle and
hogs. Acting on Instructions of the State
Board of Agriculture, Secretary John
Simpson has asked packing houses to make
reports monthly to him of cattle and hogs
from Iowa that show tuberfulosls after
being killed. The first of these reports ara
being received now. Mr. Simpson stated
today that they show a considerable
amount of tuberculosis, but the reports
have not been tabulated and an accurate
.statement cannot be made for soma days
yet.
A preliminary report haa been made on
the noxious weeds of the state by tha
State Agricultural .college at Ames to a
committee of the State Board of Agricul
ture, of which ex-Governor Tackard of
Marshalltown ia chairman. Thla prelim
inary report states that weeds prevail to
such an extent over the- state, and are
spreading so rapidly, that unless some
thing Is done at once to check their
spreading the state will have to spend
thousands of dollars o stamp them out.
It Is found that Inside the last fifteen
years cocklebur and .horse nettle, which
appeared first In the southern part of the
state, have spread nearly to the Minnesot
line. Quack grass, which Is especially
noxious and difficult to kill because It
spreads through Its roota, prevails over
the northern part of the state from Kos
suth county to the Mississippi, and Is rap
Idly spreading south. In one farm In
northern Iowa, near Sibley, attempts to
kill out this weed made it necessary to
raise nothing on the farm for one whole
year, during which time the plows were
kept going almost continuously.

dates for the two state conventions. The
date ot the national democratic convention
icomes so late that It would be possible to

mary law. However, the sentiment of the
democrats of the state seem to be In favor
of two conventions, one to be held In April
the day preceding the annual Jefferson

disastrous fires which hss visited Peoria
in many years occurred tonight, consuming
practically one whole business block on

were fanned furiously by a forty-mile wind.
The fire is supposed to have originated In
the basement of the James McAdam
Tailoring company. The total loss la esti
mated at 1360,000.
Fire swept practically one whole block on
South Adam street. In the principal busi
ness portion of the city, laid low one four
story, one three-story and a half a dozen
two-story buildings and left a loss of 30,

front of 'the Watson building, a four
story structure, occupied by the J. McAd
am a company, tailors; Columbia phono
graph company and the W. W. Kimball
Piano company: Every available fire ap
paratus In the city was brought Into
play, but the flames were fanned from the
rear by a stiff breeze. The Schleicher
building, all three floors of which were oc
cupied by Schleicher & Son, furniture
dealers, was the next building to catch.
In quick succession the Home Savings
bank. Mentor Rosenbloom & Co.'s depart
ment store; Troop G, First Illinois cav-
lry armory and E. A. Strauss, whole

tended half way across the atreet. to the
Grant hotel, a four-story building, and
guests were awakened and left their
rooms preparatory to leaving the build
