Davenport. Oct. 14.—A three-cor
nered contest for the rational head
quarters Is on in connection with the
Modern Brotherhood of America con
vention, Which is being held in Dav
enport this week. Mason 'City, the
present location of the headquarters,
••wHl try hard to retain the honor: Des
Molnes Is largely represented here to
make a strong tight for the plum and
Davenport is making a systematic ef
fort to bring the national homo of the
•order to this city.
The Mason City delegates claim that
active work by the state managers is
4n progress at the dictation of Presi
dent T. B. Hanley of Des Moines, to
•ote their respective delegates for the
"Capitol City, and complete a plan the
'network of which has been laid by
"circulars sent broadcast to the effect,
that the order has outgrown its pres
ent headquarters. Mason City will
claim that such is not the case, and
'has a strong argument to present.
Twenty-five representatives of the
Des Moines Commercial club, the East.
Des Moines Commercial league, and
the Greater Des Moines committee are
here to work for the interests of their
city. Secretary Botsford of the Com
mercial club also arrived early to
make all preliminary arrangements for
the Des Moines campaign.
Davenport will plug hard for first
.place In the race, and has been or
ganizing Its plans for the past several
-.iWriths. This city has many advay
tages to present, and will doubtless
make a splendid showing when the
proposition comes to ul vote. It will
.make a strong bid for favor.
As the selection of the national
headquarters will mean a new bullit
,ing which will cost in the neighbor
hood of $125,000 and will bring ad
ditional business to the city in which
the national home is established, it is
readily seen that the proposition Is
.one well worth fighting for. The mat
ter will come to a vote and be defin
itely settled on Friday of this week.

Finances in Bad Shape.
^Special to Times-Republican.
Hampton, Oct. 14.—A statement re
.cently made of the financial affairs of
the Franklin County Agricultural so

•M,nts paid amount to $2,700.44. Entries
Xor fair races are yet unpaid, to the

to the credit of the officials that the

years in Dubuque and which, according
to officers who have traveled beats in

dangerous to the moral life of the com

ley has Issued strict orders to his
officers to take, into custody young
women under age who 'are abroad on
the streets without their parents or
proper guardians, after 11 o'clock, has
caused a sensation in the community
and has been the means of keeping
many young women off the streets and
consequently out of danger's way..
It Is stated that a sharp lookout will
be kept on the public dance halls and
girls under age will not be given en

"The state of things here at present
is something desperate," said a local
officer, referring to the dance halls and
the recent crusade. "I don't under

people of Dubuque that they don't let
the saloon agitation rest for a white

some of these public dance halls right
