district, comprised of Buchanan and
Delaware counties, met in delegate con
vention Friday afternoon of last week
in the Court house in this city.
E. Abbott, of Independence
chosen chairman of the convention and
Hubert Carr secretary.
The following committee on creden
tials and permanent organization was
selected: A. S. Coon, W. S. Mitchel, M,
Eldridge and W. F. Drummy. It rec
ommended that the credentials of
Delaware and Buchanan counties be
the recognized delegates of the conven
tion and that the temporary organiza
tion be made permanent.
The committee on resolutions con
sisting of C. E. Bronson, Dr. G.
Thompson, of Winthrop, Frank Brewer
of Independence and A. S. Coon report
ed the following resolutions which were
adopted:
in­
teresting to note that this week com
pletes the twentieth year that Mr.
Thorpe has been in business In the same
building". We believe that this is the
.longest time any firm now in business
is this city has conducted a Btore in the
Bame location. In this twenty years
Mr. Thorpe has built up the large trade
he now enjoys, which
RESOLUTIONS.
The democrats of the 33rd senatorial
district reaffirm a zealous devotion to
democratic principles as enunciated in
the Chicago platform of 1396 and pledge
themselves to rene'wed efforts in behalf
of bimetalism.
We unhesitatingly endorse the stab
platform and pledge our faith and our
best efforts to the nominee for governor,
that fearlesB soldier and brainy states
man, Fred E. White, and the balance of
the state ticket.
We believe that what is legally sold
in the state should have the sanction of
law injts manufacture.
We believe in honesty and economy
in the conduct of the affairs of state
and while our hearts Bwell with
Eravery
ride at the fortitude, patience and
of our soldiers, we do not be
lieve that our army should be used as
an army of conquest, to acquire terri
tory against the will of Its inhabitants.
Morally a nation has no more right to
acquire colonies by conquest ana hold
them by force, than the slave traders
had to capture human beings and hold
them as slaves.
The next in the order of business was
the selection of a candidate for senator.
The delegates present were unanimous
in their choice of T.J Prouse of this
city. After his nomination a senator
ial committee was elected and consist
ed of. Dr. G. B, Thompson, A. S, Coon,
Frank Brewer, M. Eldridge and W. M,
Higbee and Hubert Carr members ex
offlcio.
Moved by C. E. Bronson and seconded
by G. B. Thompson that should Thom
as J. Prouse, the nominee of this con
vention decline the nomlmation, or if
from any cause there should be a va
canoy for the senatorial nomination, the
vacancy for senator on the democratic
ticket for this district may be filled and
such nomination made by the demo
cratic senatorial committee of this dis
trict to wit: G. B. Thompson, A. S.
Coon Hubert Carr, Frank Brewer, M.
Eldridge and W. M. Higbee or a ma
jority of taid committee.

Our local football team met "the

latter place last Saturday afternoon
and a very pretty game was put up by
both sides as the final score of 0 to 0
will attest. The Manchester boys go
into a game with the intention of
giving a good clean exhibition of foul
ball, and in thiB they were-fairly unil
squarely met by the Dyersville boys
with the result that those who witness
ed the Saturday's contest say it was
one of the neatest they have ever seen.
The running and tackling of Dor
man and C. Lusk were probably the
best features of the game and were
worthy of especial mention.

Miss Donald, would be placed iu' the'
State Normal school at Cedar Falls next
week. The girl has reached that age
and has advanced to that point in hoi
education where it is desirable to have,
her mingle with un older and more ad
vanced class of associates than she
meets in the blind asylum at Vinton.
Miss Dora Donald will accompany her
to the State Normal school, and accom
pany her to the class rooms, conveying
to her lessons that the others take. It
is intended for her to take up many of
the advanced studies of the-common
schools and it is believed that a year of
such work will see even more rapid
strides than in the past and see her mind
wonderfully developed at the end of the
year. Mr. Murphy recently visited the"
state board of control and asked for the
835 quarterly allowance which is jiaid
to each inmate of the college for the
blind to help pay for her board at Cedar
Falls. The board referred the matter
to Attorney General lit in ley for an
opinion, and he reported adversely,
holding that she was not an inmate.

More than
ever
does our store deserve this fall the
reputation of being Cloak Head
quarters. For 5 years we have had
the exclusive sale of the eelebrated
"PALMER" garments, and1 each
-r's business has wonderfully in-^
r.reased in volume. WHY? Be-,
cause they are in every way satis
sactory because every garment sold
sells another.
j'our Jacket
or Cape for
the season the first thing you want to be
sure of is "THE STYLE," isn't it? If that
isn't absolutely right you might as we'l get
a last season's garment and be done with it.
And then the FIT must be perfect, because
if a garment does not fit the style does not
count for much. Then there is the quality
of the goods, too.
To a certain extent you can tell at first
sight if a garment has these qualities, but
you cannot tell all about it until the end of
the season. THERE IS ONE WAY,
though, to be absolutely safe in buying your
garment, and that is, in addition to your
own best judgment, buy oi a house that has
a reputation for doing RIGHT, and further,
one that GUARANTEES EVERY GAR
MENT to give satisfaction to the wearer.
