Th body of David Olson, the young mn
who disappeared Friday morning from the
farm of J. O. Ferron. three mites east
of this city, where he wan employed, i
discovered yesterday morning In a pond on
tha farm of R. A. Smith In Garner town
ship. Indication! are that Olson commit
ted Suicide, but the motive for taking his
own Ufa, as far aa is known, is lacking.
Tha body, lying In shallow water near
tha adga of tha pond. u discovered by
R. A. Smith, who went to the pond Intend
ing to fish. Tha condition of the body In
dicated that It had been in the water since
Friday. Olson wa last seen by members of
tha Ferron family on Friday morning about
1 o'clock, when the young man went Into
one nt tha fields in work. Shortly after,
when Mr. Ferron went to the field, ha could
not find Olson, and a search of the farm
failed to reveal any trace of the young
man. Saturday morning, when no trace
of the missing man could be secured. Mr.
Ferron notified the Council Bluffs police
and requested their assistance In locating
tha missing man.
It la believed that Olson, on leaving the
Ferron farm, went straight to the pond on
the Smith farm, less Shan a mile distant,
and drowned himself. When he left the
Ferron house to go to the field Olson was
wearing overalls, a short coat and heavy
hoes. These were on the body when found
and would disprove the theory that he had
gone to the pond to swim.
Toung Olson was 22 years of age and
had been working on the Ferron farm for
about three months. His home was in For
est City, la., where his father lives. The
father was notified of his son's death and

Lively ton testa fer Renreeeata-tlvee-
Same Old Talk A host
Army Hradqaarters.
(From a Staff Correspondent. 1
DES MOINES. Aug. 1 iSpecial.) The
next campaign seems almost destined to
be the driest the state of Iowa has ever
had. With two exceptions It so happens
that there Is not a state official of any
kind but that precedent gives him another
term. These two exceptions sre In the
office of state superintendent. Mr. Rlggs
having had the usual three terms and rail-
read commissioner now held by Colonel
D. J. Palmer.
Colonel Palmer has broken all the
precedents the state of lews ever had. He
will have oeewpied the position of railroad
commissioner within three months of four
teen years when the term expires to which
he Is elected. He has been there so long
that there Is a hint that precedent would
continue him there Indefinitely. There Is
an army candidate for state superintendent
In the field already, but none at all for
railroad commissioner so It Is quite within
the realm of possibility that there will
be but one state office over which there
will be any contest at the primaries next
June.
Vnder the surface there Is some little talk
of opposition to Governor Carroll, who has
had but one term. There have been one
term governors of Iowa In times past, but
they quit at the end of the first term for
business reasons. Opposition to Governor
Carroll seems to be centered about people
who thought they were going to get ap
pointments and didn't. Most people be
lieve there will be no opposition to Gov
ernor Carroll and that the, only contests
will be on Mate superintendent with the
possibility of one on railroad commission.
Offices to Be Filled.
Nominations must be made for governor,
lieutenant governor, secretary of stste.
auditor of state, treasurer of state, clerk
of the supreme court, reporter of the su
preme court, two supreme court judges to
succeed Judges Evans and Deemer and
two railroad commissioners to succeed
Palmer Eaton. With the exception of those
noted above there Is not the slightest
doubt but that each of the other state of
fices will be conceded another term without
opposition.
There will be more or less lively times
In congressional district politics in some
districts. In the eighth for Instance there
is a democrat serving as congressmen in
a republican district. Since Hepburn was
defeated there are many who would HkJ
to serve the district. There seme to be
no doubt In political circles, but that Judge
Towner will be a candidate though he has
t.ot announced himself. Probably ex
Senator Dan Turner will be a candidate
and there Is no certainty but that Colonel
Hepburn will again be a candidate. It Is
understood that A. I. Smith of Mount Ayr.
who was twice a candidate against Hep
burn will not be a csndldate again.
Two candidates. Judge Prouty and Senator
C. C. Dowell, are already out at work In
the seventh district. Judge Prouty Is mak
ing his campaign on the tariff question. It
Is presumed that Congressman Hull will
be a candidate again.
Remodel Postofflee.
As soon as the postofflcs moves to the
new building now being erected on the river-front,
the old postofflee building at the
comer of Fifth and Court avenue will be
Lentlrely remodeled at a cost of ribO.QOO. An
official from the Treasury department will
reach Des Moines in a few days to make
specifications for the work and prepare
to aek for bids. The entire Inside of the
building will be removed. A spacious fed
eral court room will be arranged Instead of
the cramped one used at present, and the
officers' headquarters will be removed from
Fort Des Moines to the new building. Cells
will be built ln adjoining the United States
marshal's offices where prisoners can be
detained for short terms and during trials.
At preeent they are kept In the county
Jail. It Is understood that an effort will
be made also to get the government to
move the department army headquarters
from Omaha to Dee Moines to rooms In
the remodeled building.
tat Haa New Town.
The official designation of the spot out
In the woods between Cedar Rapids and
Iowa City where the State Tuberculosis hos
pital is located Is "Oakdals." The govern
ment has estsbilshed a postofflee there
by that name and the Interurban has
named Its station that. Ths state is now
erecting seven new cottages there, which
will double the capacity of the hospital,
making it capable of caring for 200 pa
tients. Farm Land Valae Raised.
Farm land values were raised a total of
nearly Sft.000.000 by the executive council
when It came to equalise things. It was
intimated before the oouncll got through
with th work that both land aad railroad
values would bs left the same as the year
before, though It wss known that somt
equalisation would have to be made In
farm values between the various counties.
When the council got through with Its
work It wss found that In twenty-two
counties there was sn increase and In but
one was there a decrease. In Johnson the
asseeement was lowered 3 per cent. The
total Increase Is ST.TOS.OOO. The railroad
were raised a little over tUO.000.
Are Bathe feceeearyf
Since the executive council refused to
O K the bill of P. A. Smith of the State
Board of Control for 60 cents for a bath,
ths question has been rai.-ed whether or not
a bath ia a necessity of life. The state
allows the traveling and hotel expenses of
officials and employes when traveling on
slate business Members of the council
took the ground that baths aere neces
sary the same as meals and lodging, but
the majority claimed that it is an Indi
vidual matter to be taken or not as the In
dividual sees fit. so the board refused to
O K the bill. Hereafter officials and em
ployes who lrae! for the state If they
wish baths must engage hotel rooms with
bsths attached and charge it all up as
hotel bill.
Pleas for Statesmen's Day.
Definite acceptances have been received
from all the state officer and most of the
congressional delegation of long to be at
the stats fair grounds on "statesman's"
day. Secretary James Wilson of the presi
dent's cabinet has assured the management
that he will be present if possible. This
gives assurancs that there will be at the
fair that day more office holders and
prominent Iowa people than were eer
gathered at one place, even Including a
political convention. Senators DcUlvar and

Congressmen Fiakett. Jamleaon and others

assurance of their presence. The governor's
staff will also be In attendance and prob
ably most of the member of the legisla

day of the fair.

told of one man's testimony there to the
ckuf-al eiftta?y of prayer.
He was an oil dealer In Pennsylvania and
he had been working for weeks to get a
certain test to come out right. It failed
every time and he decided, he said, to
pray for assistance. He did so and the
first trial thereafter the test came out as
desired.
President Ft A. Welrlch presided at the
meeting and he, C. O. Lobeck and F. H.
Olcutt also spoke briefly. The next meet

Rev. L. C. Denlee Preaches la First
Presbyterian Palplt.
Rev. L. C. Denlse of New Kensington,
Pa., occupied the pulpit of the First Pres
byterian church Sunday morning. Dr.
Denlse Is a former resident of Omaha
and a graduate of the South Omaha High
school. After briefly expressing his pleas
ure at once more meeting his old-time
Omaha friends and the opportunity of
speaking from the pulpit of the church In
which he was baptised, he spoke from the
text, Proverbs xl:23.
"Consider not the messenger but the
message. " said Dr. Denise. "Keep thy
heart, for out of it are the Issues of life.
The Lord Judges men by their hearts.
Men judge men by their outward appear
ances. What about your Inner life? How
would you like to have your thoughts pub
lished. Have they , been selfoontalned or
such as would meet both God's and man's
approval? From the inner life of man
comes his real life. Sow a thought, you
reap an act; and act, you reap a habit;
a habit, a character; character, a destiny.
Habit Is an act repeated, and act la a
thought realized. Man puts into his life
the thoughts he has used. If those
thoughts sre pure there shall come a
thing of beauty, If evil, a blight. Thought
is a seed from which may come a briar
or bramble or a beautiful blossom. The
thoughts of the wicked are an abomina
tion of the Lord. Evil thoughts defile
men. There sre sins of the Imagination
and memory as well as of the hands and
feet. Keep thy heart for out of it come
the is'sues of life."

STOCK PRICES ARE GOING HIGH
Preeeat Level Is Hi ah eat Since lt0,
and Almost the Hla-heat In
History.
NEW YORK, Aug. 1. In fare of some
misgivings among the professional specu
lative element, based on the feat of the
technical position, the stock market last
week stood firm and then forged upwards.
The fact that the price level thus attained
presents, the highest touched since 130".
with a rspld approach In the average to
the highest In the New Tork Stock ex
change records constitute the ground of
the misgivings over the stability of prices
at the preeent Altitude. The action of tne
w-eek's market was corrective of this view
and the buying to cover shorts by those
who held It obsttnately helped out the ris
ing tendency.
The backbone of the market might be
said to be United States Steel, which
focussed attention by reason of the diwdend
meeting on Tuesday, and the publication
then of the earnings for the June 30
quarter. The preceding rise in United
States steel to Its record price of 73 seemed
so ample en anticipation of the most favor
able showing that speculative profit-taking
was looked for.
Pains were taken by the adroit market
managers of the stock to discourage some
of the more sanguine forecasts, which had
been circulated In the stock market. In
timations were given with all the sem
blance of official authority that the
dividend might not be changed, although
the advance to a 4 r.er cent basis had been
rumored.

The Best Ginger Ale
Isn't Imported
There is no need to pay twice the price of Hydrox for "im
ported," to get a first-class ginger ale.
Hydrox, at three times the cost of imported, couldn't be made
any better.
You pay for Hydrox the same as "imported" costs, minus
the import duty. The difference is only in price, not in quality.
In many cases you even get an inferior grade in imported..
But the only way to know is to test them.
GINGER ALE
Match the best Imported ginger
ale that you know with Hydrox In
actual comparison. Abandon all
prejudice. Then decide.
Here's what we do to get quality:
We import Ginger Root from
Jamaica.
We use the best table sugar in
place of the usual saccharine. It re
quires 25 lbs. of sugar to do what we
could do with an ounce of saccharine.

Demand for Railroad Kqalpment.
Growing demand from the railroads for
all forms of equipment added a strong
factor to this feeling While it is pointed
out In criticism of the United States steel
exhibit that It shows no resumption of
the special outlays for new ron.Mructlon
and additions which were made lavishly
up to the time of the late financial de

for dividends which will follow the dis
continuance of these special outlays Is
a large element in advancing the stock to
Its present high price.
