also add to the strentrth of the progressives
In tie KlKhth dtntrlct. where there are al
ready two candidates In the field Judge
Towner and Representative Darrah. The
factional lines cannot be drawn entlielx
here, for each one will break over these
lines. Hut Darrah Is hardly as strong a
man personally In the district as the Judge
CTTsrwrTTI I nor does he have the acquaintance.
I In the First dis'rlct It U certain there
will be a contest Representative Kennedy
Is not very strong personally, and already
Joseph Frulley of Leo county Is announced
as a candidate against him. There has
also been expectation that Smith Brook
hart of Washington county would get into
the. race. However this may be, It Is re
garded as certain that the First district
will he debatable ground.
No Other Contests.
It Is doubtful if there will be contests in
any of the other districts. In the districts
represented by Hubbard, lluugjn. Woods,
Pickett and Uood there Is no possibility
of any contest worthy of the name. The
republicans of those districts are solidly
back of tho members of congress.
In the districts represented by Dawson
and Kendall there Is always a chance for
a fight, but nothing has yet developed to
Indicate that It will turn up next year. Both
these districts are close at the general
election, so that If there Is a fight for the
nomination it will endanger republican suc
cess. Two things have recently occurred to stir
up matters, especially in the Eighth dis
trict, now represented by a democrat. The
first Is the discovery that Inithat district
Postmaster General Hitchcock hns been
prevailed upon In some way to take the
federal patronage Into his own hands and
to slate to the Iowa delegation that he will
arrange the pnstofflces to suit himself. He
has stated that he will not make removals
simply to get new men In. If a postmaster
is satisfactory he will remain. Inasmuch
n.s ex-Congressman Hepburn, who ap
pointed all these posimasters, Is now lo
cated In Washington and will remain there
easy of access, it Is the belief that ir
tually he will handle the patronage of the
district Just as tho patronage of the Sixth
district was disposed of by Major Lacey
after he had been defeated for office.
The other trouble-maker In tho Eighth
district is the fact that someone, In the
name of the republican congressional com
mittee. Is Bald to be sending Into the dis
trict literature, especially to editors of re
publican papers, which is distinctly hostile
to the Iowa delegation In congress. Sonic
of the editors who are receiving the liter
ature are engaged In exposing the plans,
and this is causing a great deal of inter
est In the district.
Absolutely nothing Is dolne; In the matter
of the state ticket. Practically every state
official whose term of office expires next
year Is a candidate for renomlnatlon on
the theory that a state official whose term
Is good ought to be permitted to have
another. As all the state officials have rec
ords that are hard to attack It is expected
that a precedent will be set of retaining

Presented to Acting Consul.
WASHINGTON ROT SURPRISED

11 y word In Central
America,
MANAGUA, Via Corlnto, Dec. 18.-Some
of the most prominent women In Managua
have sent a petition to Henry Caldera, the
acting consul of the United States here.
Their names are slgnrd to the petition,
which sets forth the tortures to which
Zelaya prisoners have been subjected,
and pitifully requests the Intervention of
the American government.
"Numberless prisoners," says the peti
tion, "have been tortured In their cells
In the prison, their families have been Im
poverished, liberty has been crushed and
patriots have been killed because of their
efforts to end crimes, extortion and
tyranny and to prevent the assassination
of Groce and Cannon.
"We Implore you to bring the malefao
tor to Justice that his many crimes may
receive the punishment they deserve, and
that he be not permitted to escape."
For weeks the associates and adherents
of Zelaya have been conducting a reign
of terror. Their chief victims have been
the best people of the country. Property
has been confiscated, lathers and sons
Imprisoned, wives and daughters foroed to
submit to unspeakable outrages, dragged
out to Jail or cruelly Injured. So appall
ing were the conditions that a large num
ber of women met together and finally de
cided to submit their plea to the represen-
atatlvo of tho government whose warships
are close at hand. It la not only tholr
own protection they seek, but the Bafety
of those, who, In the last few days, have
had courage enough to rise in the public
places and denounce Zelaya.
Many Prisoners Released.
The agitation became so strong against
the holding of hundreds, and perhaps thou
sands in prison, that the officials deemed
it advisable to take stops to release at
loost some of those against whom crimes
had only been alleged. Most of the politl'
cal prisoners, therefore, were released to-
day, but there are still many others be
hind the walls.
It was after the American warships
reached Corlnto that the demonstrations
against Zayala became pronounced, for
those who have been crying for the revc
lutlon were fully convinced that bluejackets
and marines from the ships would be
landed. Now. they are terrified leat no
men are sent ashore. In such an event
they fear repralsals by the Zelayan forces
which are still strong in Managua.
Manv revolutionary suspects have been
thrown Into. prison and put to torture, and
there are a number now in chains who
refuse to do the bidding of the govern
them all In office as lona- as thev desire to ment. Among these is Anibel Chavez, an
remain. officer in the army, who was In command
of the firing squad when Groce and Can

six deaths aro accredited to the disease.
It Is said that all the patients were very

the disease was the use of freshly imma

LINCOLN, Dec. 18. (Special.) Promi
nent democrats who want once more to
connect with the state's cash drawer have
not yet given up hope of securing an
extra session of tho legislature and they
are still bringing pressure to bear on his
excellency.
One Omaha citizen, who called- on the
governor recently In that city, suggested
that the governor should Include In his
call the commission plan of government
for cities. This party desired thU act
so that Omaha and South Omaha could
be merged into one city.
"South Omaha will be willing for an
nexation under the commission plan of
government," said the Omahan, "but not
otherwise. So If you call the extra ses
sion please bear that In mind. We are
very anxious to have-the cities united
before the census Is taken." '
Speaker Pool and Trenmore Cone, the
chief clerk, are both anj:lous to have tho
extra session and It Is reported so are
the many employes, a great many of
whom were children of 'he members.
Governor Shallenberger is listening to
those who desire to talk to him about the
matter, but so far he has given no In
dication of what he Intends to do.
EAST ST. LOUIS, Dec. 18.-An uncon
trolled street car, bearing a dead motorman
and a dying conductor, ran wild through
four miles of city streets here tonight. The
men were shot by a negro highwayman,
v ho esLupcd with a small Bum taken from
th ; conductor.
According to the few words spoken by
N. P. O'Brien, tho conductor, who is
def-perately wounded, the negro boarded
the car near Fireworks station. In the south
eastern part of the city. The conductor
refused to obey the highwayman's order
to hold up his hands and a struggle ensued.
E. V. Goody, the motorman, Is supposed
to have started to O'Brien's assistance.
From the position of the bodies In the car.
It Is inferred that he was shot down whllt
still some paces from the negro.
Whether O'Brien was shot in the first
struggle or when trying to prevent th
negro's escape could not be determined.
No passengers were on the car, and with
its motorman dead and Its conductor help
less, it started on a wl; run through tho
streets. Several times as It rounded cor
ners without warning from Its gong, pedes
trians and vehicles were missed by narrow
margins. .
The car kept on to the' downtown term
li.al, where employes of the street car
company boarded It and brought It to a
halt.
The East St. Louis & Suburban Railway
company offered . a reward of $i00 for the
arrest of the negro highwayman. Two sus
pects were taken to police headquarters
shortly before midnight. Bloodhounds,
which were used recently at Cairo, will bo
put on the trail tomorrow. The conductor's
clothes are being saved to give the dogs
a scent.
