The Loyal Legion of the United States, the organisation of commissioned officers of the civil war, at Its annual convention here, elected Captain J. Q. Hutchinson of Ottumwa aa president of the order. The meeting was held at the Chamberlain ho tel. . Major Charles W.

A memorial to Lieutenant Charles Aldrlch, late curator of the historical department of Iowa, waa adopted. While the atorm Tuesday evening did comparatively little damage in the city, the country In the vicinity of Council Bluffs suffered considerably from the downpour of rain and hall. Fruit growers report great damage from the hall, espe cially to the grape vines. The fruit forming on the vines waa practically all destroyed and the fruit men say their only hope Is that the secondary buda may produce a fair yield. Ttie country east of the city In the vicinity of Mosquito creek waa reported yesterday to be all under water, owing to the creek having left Its, banks. The loss in this section. It la figured, will be extremely heavy. Although nothing definite could be learned yesterday owing to the telepbono lines being out of business, It was re ported the storm had wrought damage, to the extent of nearly $10,000 at Ben Marks' farm south of Lake Manawa. Two buildings recently erected - are said to have been demolished by the triiflo wind and It waa reported that a number of cattle and horse had been killed. Mr. Marks' place was In the direct line of the tornado after It crossed the rlyer and ewpet towards Island park andY HInton station, where It did much damage. Five bunk cars occupied by a section gang of Italian laborers at Island park were swept from the track, but the men saw the storm coming and escaped from the cars In time. The barn on the farm of John Evans, about six miles eaat of Council Bluffs, waa struck by lightning and destroyed with Its contents of hay, grain and other property. . . ' The Milwaukee suffered a bad wash out on Its main line near the old Chau tauqua grounds and trains had to be sent over the tracks of the Northwestern. The Wabash and Great Western also suf fered washouts. , The damage In the city waa compara tively small and consisted mainly of washed out paving and sidewalks. The newly laid concrete sidewalk In front of the high schopl was washed out and on sev eral of the hill . streets, Including Park avenue, more or less brick paving was washed out. On South Main street the water which poured down from the hill streets left a deposit of mud several inches thick over the sidewalks and In the gutters along side of the curbs It was about a foot deep. Broadway suffered but little. There was no deposit of mud In the vicinity of the Northwestern and Illinois Central tracks, which Is something unusual after such a storm. ' The report that the new concrete bridge over Indian creek at Frank street had been damaged was found yesterday to be without foundation. No material damage was done to the structure Itself, the only damage being a washout at., the ap proaches. Both, the Nebraska . and Independent Telephone companies reported a number of 'phones out of commission and both companies had large gangs of linemen at work yesterday repairing the damage. and wreaths by the members of the Wo mans' Relief corps. Owing to the Increasing Infirmities of the surviving veterans of the civil war there will be no public parade. These comprise the city council commlt leee having the arrangements tor the pub lie exercises In charge: Speakers Mayor Malory, Councllmen Bellinger, Younkerman and Olson.

May 14.-(Speelal.)-Prlmary election day Is Just three weeks distant and both the Allison and the Cum mins forces are claiming a victory. The Allison forces, which are closely linked with the standpat political forces of the state, claim thst the silence of many voters In the state presages good things for Alli son and the standpaf state ticket. They claim that many progressives will vote for Allison and that the attacks on Allison's political record are reacting in favor of Allison. They claim that Allison has been lauded by all persons of all factions In Iowa for many years and that It Is too late In the day now to begin to criticise his official acts or charge him with Intimate connection with the Credit Moblller scandal, and that the veteran senator, with more than forty years in congress to his credit. Is, too greatly beloved by the people of Iowa for such crltl lam to have any further effeot than that of a boomerang. The Allison forces furthermore are claiming a victory for Allison based on a township poll of the state, which they have made, though there is some conflict of testimony ae to Just how the poll came out. Claims of Cnmralns Mca. On the other hand the Cummins progres sive forces are claiming a victory for the governor and the progressive ticket based on many different Indications. In the first place the northern pert of the state they claim Is solidly for Governor Cummins and that In many of the northern counties Governor Cummins will get almost all the vote. There Is reason In the claim, because Governor Cummins has always been con ceded to be strong In the northern part of the state. On the other hsnd the Cummins people claim they will carry most of the large cities In the southern part of the state, the famous Reservation. There Is rea son for this, too, because In the old caucus and convention days they carried the cities, even Burlington, but lost the counties be cause they failed to carry the country dis tricts In ' the southern part of the state. Under the primary system things ara differ ent, say the Cummins people. They point out the fact that In southern Iowa the farmers In the country districts are not organized and have voted aa led by their leaders. They will be busy on their farms and will not come out. In the northern part of the state the farmers are organized. The Corn Belt Meat Producers' association, one of the strongest organizations in the west. has most of Its members In the northern part of the state. The farmers there are live to the issues and will vote on primary day as their fellow republicans In the cities both north and south will do. Change In Last Few Weeks. The Cummins forces are also claiming that the correspondence Inquiries over the state are In their favor. Three weeks ago the Cummins headquarters in Des Moines were not so hopeful. Cummins followers were saying that something must be done to "get the people awake." They feared that thitigs were . being allowed to drift, There Is decidedly a more hopeful sign about their headquarters now. A score of speakers have been put Into the field. Gov ernor Cummins will have made by the end of the campaign .fully 100 speeches In the state this campaign. The Allison forces up to recently had had but one address, and that by Senator Doll! ver at Council Bluffs early In the cam' paign, really, before the campaign had In tact openea. i nen ne returned a week or two ago and made speeches at Des Moines, Mason City, Clinton and Ottumwa. This week speeches are being made by Lafe Young of Des Moines, Major Lacey of Oskaloosa, Congressman Birdsall and Mr. Torbett of Dubuque. They are all being made In the southern part of the atate, In the standpat territory, the Reservation The northern part of the state, which Is Governor Cummins' stronghold and on which he largely depends, is as yet undn vaded, except for a speech by Dolllver at Mawn City and another at Clinton and few scattering speeches by Torbett and persons of lesser note. Politicians Ask Questions. Interest in the outcome of the campaign Is especially acute on the part of politi cians. Every claim on the part of a Cum mins man that Governor Cummins will be elected ' met by thfl Allison men with the Inquiry: "How do you know there are more progressives than standpatters in Iowa?" Of course no one does know. There has never been a primary vote be tween the progressives and standpatters of the republican party of Iowa. There have been contests, but they have always been by the caucus and convention system, and everyone knows that one candidate for president of the United Btates some times gets the plurality f the - popular vote, while another candidate Is elected because he has the most delegates in the electoral college. In the same way, one candidate can get the majority of the delegates to a state convention, while a majority of the people of the party might favor another. It is this act , that there haa never been a primary vote between the pro gresslves and standpatters In Iowa that Is causing politicians of all sides anxiety and Interest in the outcome of the cam palgn in Iowa this year, for while Alii son's friends are claiming that they wli elect him wtth progressive votes thero, there is no denying that all the standpat votes will be for Allison, because tn the very nature of things tney are opposed to Governor Cummins. Estimate oa Fralf. Wesley Greene, state horticulturist, to day gave out the first estimates of thi year's fruit crop, based on careful reports from all aectlons of the state. The report of the condition of the fruit for this year at this time In comparison with the crop of last year Is as follows: 19W. 1307. Apples 60 (16 Pears 44 44 American plums 47 64 European plums 27 16 Japan plums M 13 merries w y Reaches 33 Grapea M 60 Red Raspberrlea 67 60 Black Raspberries Si 3 Hlackberrlea , to Currsnts 70 73 Gooseberries 63 HH Strawberries 73 71 Last year's crop was badly injured by the frosts and especially by the sleet which came early in the spring, but there was still a crop left and Mr. Greene. Is confident that with favorable conditions there will be a considerable of a crop of fruit this year. Now Method la Cae. The campaign being conducted In Iowa at thla time la vastly different from any party campaign that haa ever been con ducted. both sides are forced to use different methods. This Is a cainpalg of education: a campaign of speeches aud literature and arguments. Hareolore the party campaigns have been to get dele gates to the state convention. A county wss Invsded by a delegation of politicians from both sides and the lines drawn. It waa a srramble to see who could get control of the township caucus and elect the delegates to the county convention. This year the election Judges aro se lected by the county authorities. There Is a law against primary election frauds, and on the same day everywhere in the state all political parties will register their choice by prlmsry vote. In the nature of things it must be a campaign of education entirely. This Is the ele ment of uncertainty In the campaign. AIlloaa Friends Ulnar, The announcement that Governor A. B. Cummins Is to speak In Council Bluffs, Tuesday, May 28, has aroused the friend and supporters of Senator Allison to ac tion. The executive committee of the Pottawattamie County Allison club Is to get busy this week and make arrange ments for tha final work of the campaign. While the club has not been Idle by any means, there has been no public meeting Ince last November, when Senator Dolllver opened the senatorial campaign In this city. As Senator Dolliver'a services art needed In other parts of the stste between this and the primary election on June 2, no effort will be made to secure him to peek In this district. ' An Allison meeting Is to be arranged for Oakland some time during the next two weeks, at which Charles M. Harl, presi dent of the Pottawattamie County Allison club, will be one of the speakers. It Is likely that an effort will be made to se cure Major John F. Lacey for a speech i the Oakland meeting. There Is talk of holding another public Allison meeting tn this city before the date of the primary election. Many of Senator Allison's friends are anxious to have Con gressman Birdsall come, to Council Bluffs for a speech as a fitting close to the cam paign, and it Is likely the executive com mittee will make an effort to secure him. Meetings under the auspices of the Alli son club wilt also. It Is expected, be ar ranged for Avoca and Carsom College Student Aaphyxlatcd. SIOUX CITT, Ia., May 14. (Special Tel egrarrt.) Charles H.
