Little Else to Say Concerning Re
marks of Governor Commlns . and
the Campaign, of Fonr Years
Hence fnr Re-election.
"Senator Allison's popularity Is unshak
en ami this will be demonstrated at
the primaries next Tuesday. " declared
Senator J. P. Dolliver, who by force of
circumstances vim compelled to spend I
yesterday in Council Bluffs Instead of go
ing to Creston, whero he was booked to
speak yesterday afternoon.
Senator Dolliver, who was enrouto from
Cedar Rapids, where he spoke, Tuesday
night, to Creston, but his train was de
layed and he was unable to make con
nections here. Telephoning to the com
mittee at Creston the suggestion was made
to Senator Dolliver that he speak there In
the evening Instead. Tbis did not suit the
senator's plans, as he Is booked to speak
this evening at Fort Dodge, so the Creston
meeting was called off.
Senator Dolliver, as soon as It was
learned he was at the hotel, was visited
by a number of friends. It was suggested
that the senator speak here last night,
but he begged to be excused as he needed
a good night's rest. After dinner Senator
Dolliver retired to his room and denied
himself to visitors. He wlU leave early this
morning for Fort Dodge, where he will
speak this evening. He will also sneak at
Sioux City, Marshalltown and Sheldon be
fore the primaries on Tuesday.
When told of Governor Cummins' threat
to fight his re-election four years hence
Senator Dolliver said: "It Is the most
manly thing Governor Cummins has said
In this campaign. I am willing he should
attack me, but I cannot understand the
makeup of a man who will continually di
rect attacks against such a man as' Sen
ator Allison. What la more, tho people of
the state cannot understand It."
Speaking of the senatorial campaign
Senator Dolliver said: "The people seem
to be Intensely interested In the return of
Senator Allison, If one can Judge from the
crowds that have been attending our meet
ings. The armory In Iowa City Tuesday
afternoon and the Auditorium at Cedar
Rapids Tuesday evening were crowded. 1
have visited only three cities since re
turning from Washington this time, Dav
enport, Iowa City and Cedar Rapids, and
In each place Senator Allison's popularity
appears to be unshaken."
ROBBER ATTACKS AX OLD WOMAN
Beats and Pinches Her, bat Secures
No Money.
"Aunty" Anna Price, an aged woman and
well known character on the streets of
Council Bluffs, who lives alone In a re
modelled freight car on the Illinois Central
right-of-way near Avenue G and Twelfth
street, was attacked and beaten Tuesday
night by an unidentified man, who Invaded
her home with the evident intention of
robbing her.
According to the report made to the
police yesterday morning It was about 9:30
Tuesday night, when the man broke in the
door of the shanty and endeavored to force
the old woman to reveal the hiding place
of the money he supposed she had con
cealed about the place. When the un
fortunate woman insisted that she did not
have any money the Intruder pinched her
face and neck until they were black and
blue and this torture falling to accomplish
the purpose sought, the brute then choked
and beat the old woman, leaving her un
conscious. As far as could be learned
yesterday the fellow failed to secure any
money.
City Physician Tubbs went to see the old
woman as soon as the report of the as
sault reached police headquarters,' but
found she had started out on her dally
rou.ids of selling artificial flowers and
othej knick-knacks. Those ' who met the
old woman tramping the streets yesterday
said her face was covered with black spots,
where she had been pinched,
Although It Is generally rumored that'tho
old woman, who is extremely miserly In
her habits and mode of living, has con
siderable money concealed about the shack
she occupies, the police believe the reports
ar without foundation, "Aunty" Prloe has
well-to-do relatives, who have repeatedly
offered her a home, but she has persis
tently refused to leave the shack she calls
home or accept assistance from her rela
tives. Although over 70 years of age the
woman recently grew a full new set of
teeth, which she proudly displayed in her
rounds about the city.

RAILROAD REUNION ENDED
Fire Thousand Participate In Exer
cises at the State Fair
Grounds.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINE?. May 2S. (Special.)
Five thousand railroad met in the stock
pavilion at the state fair grounds today
noon for a reunion and dinner. It had
been the intention to hold It under the
trees. The rain prevented. The exhibi
tion run by the fire department on the
race track was also Interfered with by
the heavy rains of last night, which loft
the track In unfit condition. The run on
the pavement downtown was held. The
dinner and the program during the after
noon closed the reunion and tonight's
trains are taking the guests back to their
homes.
One of the big features of the reunion
was the gathering last night at Foster's
opera house, where the guests were wel
comed by Lieutenant Governor Warren
Garst. Addresses were made by many
railroad men, including President
Wlnchell of the Rock Island. In his
address President Wlnchell devoted his
time largely to. urging yiat there must
be a wider margin of profit in railroad
management and that either freight rates
must go up or wages must come down.
Peter A. Dey, one of the first railroad
commissioners of Iowa and one of the
first railroad men of Iowa, is in attend
ance at the reunion. He is now in the
declining years of life. Armed with a
camp chair he has traveled about from
one hotel to another, seating himself often
for a chat with old-time friends. Presi
dent Wlnchell, General Manager Melcher
and General Superintendent H. 8. Cable of
the Rock Island were all in attendance.
All day today the railroad men while not
engaged with the program at the fair
grounds were engaged in reviewing old
times. Most of those In attendance gath
ered at the state house during the fore
noon when a picture was taken of the en
tire group.
College men of Iowa began an Invasion
of Des Moines tonight for the state field
meet of Friday. The preliminaries wilt be
pulled off tomorrow at 4 o'clock at the
Drake Athletic field. Tomorrow morning
the athletes will begin coming In strong.
Several hundred had reached the city to
night. It will be the nineteenth annual
college field meet. Grlnnell promises to
send 4H). The state college at Amee prom
ised to send 600, and probably 2,000 more
from the town and country will be here.
The State university, will send as many
more. Mornlngside at Sioux City will send
fifty to 1"0 and Simpson at Indlanola will
probably send 200. All of Drake will be
on hand.
The meet will be between Grlnnell and
Ames, as a fight for first place, though
Drake university will show up strong. With
the possible exception of 1S99, when Pell,
Fisher, Holland, Brown and Louis formed
an aggregation of stars, the entries are
prohably the strongest that have enver
gone Into the state meet. Huff is one of
the greatest sprinters of America today.
Beard Is as great a half-mller as Iowa
ever produced. The relay teams of Drake,
Grlnnell and Ames are the strongest that
have ever run. There are but three other
men In the United States In the class with
Haggard as a pole vaulter. Conaway set
a new record last year in throwing the
weights, and he hfs Lambert of Ames as
a close second this year to contest with.

field, stay there a few minutes then liump
themselves to a different place. Thoy
kept this up for some time. The buyer
called on the farmer, said he had been
looking at his hogs and they were about
what he wanted except that they were light
In weight, and fherf'he mentioned their pe
culiar' nervousness The farmer, In a
horse whisper, explained that he had al

he took cold and lost his voice, and then
got in the habit of pounding on the fence
with a stick and now since the weather
has been getting warm "the darned wood
peckers are running those hogs to death."
And Yet They Say Automobiles Are Bad
James Brown had a little hair-raising ex

became overbalanced and commenced to roll
down tAwards a barb wire fence, and Jim,
not wishing to come In contact with the
fence, started to Jump In the opposite
direction, got caught in the hay rack,
went up in the air a few feet and finally
landed In the wagon truck. The horses
became frightened and started to run with
Jim hugging the wagon truck, but every
thing was brought to a sudden stop when
the horses tried to pass on both sides
of a big tree, which brought their heads
together with a thud. Nothing serious hap
pened, however, and Jim escaped unhurt,
but nobody but an Irishman could have
gone through all these performances with
out getting a scratch. Sparta Correspond

Not one view, but many. The fine green

In, richest green, dotted with the numer
ous herds of horsea and cattle, content,
edly eating to their fill or quietly resting
and ruminating, the fine farm houses In
the distance or near to you, all these
and much more, furnish a picture gallery
of which the lover of nature never tires.
The change wrought by the several good
ralna of late has been marvelous. The
wheat that was "killed at the root by the
dry weather" and "on top by the frost,"
and which, caused so much fear for Its
safety, now you ought to see It grow. The
oats, which was 'too thin" and that was
'Injured by the frost", you ought now
to see It thicken up and coming to the
front. Perhaps the timely and generous
rains did avert calamitous damage, but
why are we ever doubting and always

Three Men After One Duck.
Judge Callahan of South Omaha sentenced
William Jackson, Charles Read and Alex
ander Johnson, colored men, to thirty days
each in the county Jail for forming a
triumvirate and appropriating one fat duck
belonging to Mrs. Annie Anderson, Thirty
ninth and L streets.
. The attack on the duck was made in
broad daylight Tuesday afternoon, but at
a time when most of the men of the
neighborhood were at work In the packing
houses. Mrs. Anderson and her daughter
saw the men carrying away the fowl, and
Mrs. Anderson gave chase. Officer Ed
Todd was within hall and Joined In the
pursuit. He chased the men toward the
Cudahy packing plant where two of, them
tunned down the tracks. E. Reed, thrf
special officer, saw them coming and or
dered them to halt; but they refused until
he drew a gun and fired a shot at their
feet. This brought . them up short, and
the duck found liberty. The third man took
another course but was equally unfortunate.
A farmer saw him coming and came out
with a shot gun which had not been loaded
in seven years, but which had every ap
peararjoe of being in order. With the
harmless weapon he held up Alexander
Johnson until the officers arrived.
The Judge said this daylight thievery
was getting too common In neighborhoods
where tho men are at the packing houses,
and imposed the limit on the offenders.

Convention.
FORT WORTH. Tex., May 28. The
friends of I'nlted States Senator Bailey
controlled the state democratic convention
which finished Its labors here today from
the time the convention was first called
to order until adjournment. Not a few of
those who were close to Senator Bailey
desired to permit one congresslontj dis
trict In Texas In which Waco is located to
send antl-Balloy delegates to the Denier
convention. Several leaders made strong
speeches In the convention and before the
committee In favor of this proposition, hut
at every turn they failed. Tho committer
appointed to nominate delegates to 1 1 hi
Denver convention, which was composcM
of one member from each of the sixteen
congressional districts of Texas, could not
agree, tho vote being a tie, on the proposi
tion of sending Bartley or anti-Bailey dele-
B-nTes from trie nisirlrt not cnrrien rw
Bailey, and passed the matter up to the
convention, which decided to name friends
of Senator Bailey.
A platform was adopted declaring for

containing many of the features 'of the
Nebraska platform written by Bryan this

Senator Bailey Is endorsed In this plat
form in the strongest possible terrna.
