Arguments were made In the mo Ion to
remand the case of Joseph Swain, admin
istrator, against the Standard Oil company
and others, and the court took Its .ml ng
under advisement. This Is the suit in
which $M,000 Is asked for the deaths of
Mrs. Chapman and her three little daugh
ters at Fisgah, which resulted from an
explosion of kerosene oil. On behalf of
the Standard Oil company, It was contended
that the United States court should re

George 8. Wright, local counsel for the
Union Paclflo railroad, submitted a motion
to consolidate all of the count6 against the
company in a suit brought against it by
tho United States, charging it with vlolat
tlon of the federal law prohibiting the haul
ing of stock more than twenty-eight hours
without feeding or watering. On be
half of the railroad it waa contended that
there was but one offense in the four
counts, and that they should be consoli
dated, thereby making the liability of the
defendant railroad CO0 instead of W.iXO.
Judge McPherson overruled the motion and
counsel filed a demurrer.
J. L. Bellath of Qlenwood was appointed
foreman of the grand Jury. The other
members are: Henry Dettachler, Mlneola;

The trial Jury la summoned for today,
but the trial of the ault of Samuel Dobaon

Fire Protection In Sehools.
Fire Chief Nicholson ' expects to make
several recommendations to the Board of
Education at its next meeting relative to
fire drills and cafe guarding the pupils
from the danger of fire In the schools of
thla city. i
In addition to regular fire drills, mention
of which has already been made. Chief
Nicholson will call the attention of the
board to the poor lighting of the hallway
on the second floor of the Washington
avenue -school and recommend that It be
remedied eltber by additional windows or
artificial light, .while the school Is In ses
sion. Chief Nicholson will also recommend
that the fire alarm In the bigger build
ings, such as the Washington avenue
school, be given by a gong Instead of by
a hand bell as at present. These gongs
can either be manipulated by the Janitor
or the chief of the fire department when
ever he may wish to make a test of the
efficiency of the fire drills.
Chief Nicholson Is further planning to
have "smudge" fire drills In the bigger
The
General Demand
of tha Weli-Informt-d of tho World hat
always been for a simple, pleasant and.
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
ralue; a laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its com
ponent parts nro known to them to be
wholesomo and tndy beneficial in effect,
areeptablo to tho system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex
client combination of Syrup of Figs and
Oixir of Senna, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits of the laxative for its remark
lUe success.
That is one of rnanr reasons why
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is given
the preference by the Well-informed.
To get its beneficial effects always buy
the genuine manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sals
by all leading druggil Fries Ifty cents
per bcttl
schools. That la to say, In order to make
tha drills more realistic, some agency will
be employed to fill the building with smoke,
then the alarm gong will be sounded and a
test made of the time In which the pupils
can be marched from the building by their
teachers.
Matters In District Coart.
With the conclusion of the hearing In
the twenty-seven Portland Gold Mining
company tax cases yesterday afternoon
Judge Thornell will thla morning begin the
examination of James F. Burns, former
president of the Portland company and
defendant in the famous mining suit In
which Jamea Doyle Is plaintiff, and the
three persons who made affidavits In sup
port of Bums' application to have the
next trial of the long-drawn-out suit trans
ferred to another county.
Burns' affidavit that he could not get a
fair trial here on account ot prejudice
against him In this community was sup
ported by affidavits to the same effect
by Attorney R. J. Organ, Dr. Charles E.
Woodbury and D. W. Otis, a real estate
and Insurance agent, and they have been
notified to appear for examination today.
Mr. Burns arrived in the city last evening.
It had been anticipated that Charles
Hughes, Jr., of Denver would come here
to conduct the examination on behalf of
Doyle, but It is learned he Is engaged in
a trial there and Is not likely to be able
to be here.
The hearing on the appeal of Burns from
the ruling of Judge Thornell In granting
Doyle a new trial, it is understood, will be
held before the supreme court this week.
As this Is the last week of the term over
which Judge Thornell will preside, It Is
expected he will pass sentence on the par
ties convicted at this term. Those await
ing sentence are: Roy M. Stevens, con
victed of attempted criminal assault on
11-year-old Christina Chrlstensen; Marlon
Hedgepeth, tlve paroled Missouri convict,

POLK COUNTY FOR CUMMINS
Difference Over Call Leads to Split in
the Congressional Gathering'.
MAY BE VICTORY FOB STANDPAT3
Flaht Between Tro rrlsonera In City
Jail Reanlta la Death of One After
Other Had Been Heleaaed and
Disappeared.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, March ll.-(Ppeclal.)-The
Polk county republican convention today
by a vote of 186 to 18 endorsed William H.
Taft for president with eighteen delegates
to the convention not voting. By a vote of
101 to 63 It endorsed Governor Albert B.
Cummins for senator and commended him
to the state for that high office. Out of
the work of today's convention there prob
ably will be a contest from Polk county
at the Seventh congressional district con
vention which meets in this city Saturday
with the possibility that the Seventh may
select standpat delegates to the national
convention.
All was harmonious In the convention to
day until the proposition of resolutions
was reached. The committee reported reso
lutions commending Roosevelt, endorsing
Taft and Cummins, and recommending tar
iff revision. James O. Berrynill, one of
the most consplcious standpatters of the
state, objected to the convention taking a
vote on the resolutions aa a whole, because
there were delegates present who wished
to vote to endorse Roosevelt, but were for
Hughes or other candidates as his successor
and who wished to vote against endorse
ment of Cummins for the senate. On tils
request the resolutions were divided.
- Claiming that the call for the county con
vention did not include the selection of
delegates to the congressional convention,
the standpatters through Mose Cohen,
chairman of the congressional central com
mittee, called the delegates together by
supervisorial districts this morning and
selected delegates to the congressional con
vention. Two of these districts are con
trolled by the standpatters and they se
lected standpat delegates. The progressives
controlling the county convention Ignored
this and selected progressive delegates to
both the state and congressional conven
tions. The point to this matter is that without
a solid progressive delegation from Polk
county the standpatters will control the
Beventh district convention snd can thus
select two standpatters as delegates to the
national convention. .

of democratlo newspapers In this part ot

lemocratlo state central committee, post
master of Atlantle under Cleveland, and
always prominent In democratic politics In
the state, has renounced democracy In the
bitterest terms, and through tha columns
of hla paper, slllgned himself with the
republican party. For the last three years
he has been editing the Dally and Weekly
Democrat aa an Independent newspaper,
and has been a warm supporter of Gov
ernor Cummins. The newspaper waa owned
by the Democrat Publishing company, in
which J. W. Cuykendall, president of the
Atlantic Canning factory, and at one time
prominently mentioned as the democratlo
candidate for congress from thla district,
was the principal stockholder and president.
Charles F. Chase and his son, C. P. Chase,
who have had the active management of
the paper for the last few years, purchased
the entire stock of the company, and last
night changed the name of the paper to the
Evening News and the Weekly News, and
announced their allegiance to the repub
lican party. Thla leaves Cass county with
out a single democratlo newspaper out ef
the eleven papers published in the county.
Mr. Chase announces his intention of at
once putting In a new linotype machine,
and securing the Associated Press news
service, and is now In Chicago complet
ing arrangements. It is understood that
the policy of the new paper politically will
be In favor of the standpat faction of tha
party. The Dally Telegraph, which waa
suspended several months ago, will be re
vived and it Is rumored that the demo
crats of the county will form a stock com
pany to purchase either it or the Mes

MARSHALLTOWN, Ia., March 11. (Spe
cial.) The threatened reduction In wages,
which It was thought would become effec
tive in all branches of the Iowa Central
general shops here today, did not mater
ialize. When men sought Master Mechanic
Thomas M. Feeley today and asked him if
the wage reduction had gono Into effect,
they were told that it had not and that
their wages would remain the same until
further notice. Thirty days ago the com
pany served notice on the employes that
there would be a reduction in wages. The
percentage of decrease was not mentioned.
It Is now thought that the question hR
been reconsidered, and there will be no re
duction. Employes are confident that any
reduction would precipitate a strike in
every department.

ATLANTIC A peculiar and what might
have been a serious accident occurred Hal
urday night at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
J. 1 Carey. They had left a lamp burning
for their son, who came In late, as had
been their custom, the lamp having been
used in the family for many years. The
boy laid his clothes em a chair beside the
table that contained the lamp and went to
bed. In the morning the lamp was scat
tered over the floor in little lilts, the stand
cover had been burned, a large hole was
burned through the boy's clothes, the car
mt burned, some wall paper burned off,
and other articles of furniture In the room
damaged. How the accident occurred and
why the fire died out after having gotten
such a headway Is still a mystery. None
of the family was awakened nor knew
anything of ths occurrence until the next
morning.
SHENANDOAH One of the most en
thusiastic town meetings that has been
held In Shenandoah for a pood many years
was the school caucus In the superior
euuit room on Saturday evening last a.'
8 o'clock to select to candidates for
members of the school board and one
cundldale for school treasurer. A contrnt
was developed with the following results:
Nearly every woman would feel
belter for a Cascaret every day.
Women exercise less than men.
That's why they need help most.
A woman moved Into a new flat with a hath room, and she said to a
visitor: "You don't know bow anxious I am for Saturday night. I
want to take a bath."
That's what soma of us do with our bowels.
We get into ths habit of periodical cleansing. And we never realize
bow much better It is to fWa a llttls help sverr day.
That's ths reason for Caacarcts.
To (five you a convenient Test-pocket laxative, ths action ef which ia
as natural and s;entlo as th. action of laxative foods.
They are not like the old-time physics castor oil, salts and cathartics.
Ws took them only when we wet. forced to.
We let matters run until the bowels were clogged, and we were misersbls.
Todsy wa keep at our best.
The way is to take one Cascaret just as soon as you know that yon
need it. The results are as pleasant as the dose.
Those who exercise enough, and est coarse food and plenty of fruit,
don't need them.
All others do need them. Cascarets do Just whst Nature does for thoss
who live in a natural way.
Cascarets are candy tablets. They ars sold by all drug-rista,
but never in bulk. Be sure you get th. genuine, with CCC
on .very tablet. The price is SO cents, 23 cents and
TEN CENTS
