Sam Clark is a big-brained man who thinks of things pregnant to-day, and he will render great service in the house. There is no sham about Clark, but an unlimited amount of sand, character, force and earnestness that moves only for the good of the whole land. —The hatching out of the Baugh boom was fore shadowed in this item from the Times: “Rev. J. M. Baugh, of this city, is being seriously talked of by many democrats as a very available man for congress. * * * Should the wisdom of the democratic convention select Rev. Baugh, the Times could give him cheerful and hearty support. ’ And then the democrats worked the Pops for all that they could, gobbled them, and will now work the district for the same game. —The Ottumwa Sun calls attention to the fact that “people forget that a most extensive tie-up of railroads took place in 1886, when Martin Irons had his foot on the necks of the great cor porations. Martin was a big man for a few days, but is now forgotten. Pres ident Debs and Sovereign are now at; the front, but they too will pass away, j It may be remarked in this connection, that Mr. Powderly;always kept a level head on his shoulders; he was neither a demagogue nor a lick spittle, but a sensible, honest gentleman who did his duty to the best of his ability and al ways in the interest of peace, as well as for the good of workingmen.” —Hardly fair is the treatment that has been accorded to the aged and bun ioned veteran scribbler of The Her ald on account of this Kelly business. First, he was cursed and condemned by a lot of fellows for doing as he did about that feed business, and he bowed j his gray head to the storm, and let 'er storm. It did not cost the stormers a cent, but it gave them a chance to whack away at men taking an idea to Washington that they did not like nor even understand. Then came the Pop ulist Congressional Convention—and I nearly every mother s son of a spouter I who opened his mouth had to bellow | about Swalm—and that did not hurt in I the least. But the next big gang of! hungry roosters that comes around! and wire their wants to this office will | be referred to these same latter day I spouters for relief.

I 10 COMES HIGH. yl The fiscal year now drawing to a a I close represents a shrinkage of about “ I #75,000,000 in the revenues of the gov leminent,I eminent, says the Globe-Democrat.] e I This is the iirst time that the expendl *lture# exceeded the receipts since I the war, and the amount of the deficit |lb so large as to be really startling. The ® I treasury gold reserve, though replen i I ished a few months ago by the sale of | I £50,000,000 of bonds, is down to about I , I £62,000,000 or £38,000,000 less than it I . I should be, and the aggregate cash bal-1 lance is far below the requirements of j I safety to the nadonai credit and justice I Ito the public creditors. This is the I I effect of democratic rule upon the af - 1 I fairs of the government—the result of I I the substitution of different policies I I and methods for those which prevailed I I when the republican party was in pow-1 I er. The contrast between existing and I I preceding conditions to a most impress- 1, I ive and Instructive one. It shows at aj. I glance what a monstrous mistake was I • I made in 1892, and how shamefully the I' I federal interests have been neglected 1 1 and abused. The exhibit is calculated IJ to make the patriotic citizen hang his I • 411(1 BiJentJ J submit to foreign | , criticism of the republic as it is now I! | being governed. 11 Tins showing of the loss of the gov-11 eminent, however, Is only one aspect I u of the misfortune that has ensued by | democratic rule. There are other facts I in sight that have still greater magni-1 tude and significance. For example, I “ the clearing house payments of thelc wuntry have declined nearly £2,000,-1 u 000,000, thus distinctly certifying the I extent of the decrease of busmens. It I a is estimated furthermore, that wages f H diminished^,-1 ai 000,000 a day, or five times as much as | w the daily cost of carrying on the war I , for the preservation of the onion.

MAHASKA COUNTY:.,IOWA. THURSDAY. TULY 6," 1894. THE POPULISTS. They Hold a Big Congres- sional Convention, And Put a Ticket In the Middle of .the Road. The populists of the Sixth congres sional district met at the court house Friday afternoon, with a larger repre sentation than ever before gathered in the district. All the counties were represented. Crawford Davis,of Bloom field, was temporary and permanent chairman, and Alf Wooster, of Oska loosa, and J. M. Gass, of Ottumwa, were secretaries. The convention wanted speeches and it had them; J. T. Clarkson, Rev. Sam Downing, Mr. Boltz, and others—and there was an abundance of the cheering sort of enthusiasm. It was ail pitched on “the middle of the road” plan. Vari ous committees were appointed and all the steps of organization taken in a successful way. While waiting for the platform com mittee, Crawford Davis turned his ora torical gatling gun loose on the boys and he did shake ’em up at a lively rate! The Wapello Glee Club did the song act in a taking way—“ Good-bye, My Lover, Good-bye,” with pat illitera tions, being given in fine way. David Roberts, of Oskaloosa, sang, as a solo, “Labor and Wait,” and made a sort of a singing school out of the convention —while waiting for the platform. While waiting for the platform, a fellow, name unknown to all, took the floor, and let out several very radical opinions—one was that he would be glad to see all smoke dried up—and finally he was shut off by a delegate knocking him out on a point of order. Mr. Boltz talked then the time came when the platform committee re ported. This committee was composed of Messrs. Monroe, of Davis; Engle, of Jasper; Jarvis, of Mahaska; Weller, of Keokuk; Parry, of Monroe; Blakely, of Poweshiek, and Brown, of Wapello. They reported as follows: After Mr. Boltz had spoken about an hoar—waiting for the oqpimittee to re port—a committee of three was ap pointed to notify the committee to re port at once, and Mr. Boltz was in favor of giving ten minutes and then [if not reported “let us go to work and make our platform”. The convention was in mood for the report, but after some more talk, In which Wiiford Hull led, and wisely—and the whole matter was tabled. Then, while waiting for the commit tee to report, Mr. Boltz explained the Coxey moment—lots of money and no interest bearing bonds. And then the committee reported. Dr. Engle read the platform which is a lengthy and a plain, radical one, and it was adopted with a whoop. Nomination of a congressional can didate being called for, the tjmk was taken up. Five minutes nominating speeches were made. Crawford Davis opened out for M. H. Jones, of Davis,—the old wheel-horse of the “Hairy Nation.” Rev. Downing seconded. ' r I Dr. Engle nominated liev. John M. -1 Baugh, pastor of the First Presbyterian 1 1 church, of Oakaloosa, and Dick Boyer, r I of Mahaska, seconded it. r I J. T. Clarkson, of Monroe, president 1 1 of the Mine Workers Union, seconded f I the Baugh nomination. 11 J. H. Higgs, of Wapello, named Rev. 1 1 Allen J. Clark, of Ottumwa, in a feel -1 ing talk. 11 F. S. Owens seconded the Clark nom- j i I lnation, and hit at the independent po~ . I sition of Dr. Engle’s candidate. | Dr. Weller, of Keokuk, spoke for I I Clark, and Wiiford Hull that of John I Baugh. Mr. Van Count seconded both I candidates, but little more for Baugh j I than Clark. Mr, Lo wen burg seconded I {Clark, and wanted Baagh to declare I {himself. Talk being the order and one of the I I things always on tap, Mr. Blakely took I lup the horn and tooted for Baugh, for I I Poweshiek. I Then the delegates whooped for a I I vote, and an informal ballot waa taken ] I with the following result: Jones. Baugh, Clark.

But Brother n< [Baugh wasn't that sort of a “pop.” In 8t [fact he got up and declared that he was | an independent— absolutely so as to any I I and all parties, but on the broad,gcnera! I ! lines be said that he could subscribe to I the principles of the movement, but! might differ as to details—but he did! not accept the nomination or platform, I * and retired. s In a general way Mr. Baagh thought \ that the times were pregn ant with re formation or—revolution. But his talk —his non-aooeptance did mot suit the fellows who had been promised a new Messiah li* John Baugh. So the chair man, Crawford Davis, asked John some j questions; 1-as to the mousy question, how he stood, and on that he was for government money only, but on the de tails thought that the natural law of values should and would govern; 2-was in favor of government ownership of railways, telegraphs and that sort of thing,—to be reached by purchase, con fiscation, or otherwise, so as to get them. The more radical John got the more the convent lon cheered. Bud he thought that he wss not the propur candidate of the convention. Then for about one solid hour the convention addressed itself to the co nundrum as to whether or not Baugh stood or not. John was called again and he did not see his way clear to ac cept the nomination, and that he really con id not accept. The old-fashioned gre snback “pops” wanted the candidate tvo swallow the Omaha platform; that he must accept the platform of this convention, and so the whole shooting match of populist reform, or get out. Johnson, of Wapello, moved that there be a nnsonsideratton of the mom ination in favc* of Clark, who had ac cepted the platform and would make the canvass.

Freight trains Nos. 11 end 12, 90 and 91, between Os kaloosa an d Mason City have been dis continued. Ail freight trains on the Hock Island have been taken off and there is no way for freight to be sent to or from our city. All local passenger and mail trains have been running to day on the Central, and upon the Bock Island between Washington, but south east of Washington everything is tied up. The freights are abandoned en ac count of lack of business. Receiving and delivering lines will receive and deliver nothing, and thus every con necting road and branch is at a stand still. fProfoundly Grateful Symptom* of Cancer Re moved—Rheumatism j j Cured *1 Chicago Clergyman’s Faith An Hood’s Sarsaparilla.

Lacey could say just as much as Baugh has said.and still be the republican candidate.” And Johnson wanted his motion let loose. Then Dr. Engle plead for Baugh, and raked the moss-backed greenbackers, and Blakely “jtned in.” Owens kicked —and he was cheered for his old-time war dance on the Omaha platform. Davis made a clear statement as to the proceedings had, and the delegates said it was straight—and then John Baugh was brought in again—and then he made the same sort of a negative speech touching the nomination and accept- ance; how he had favored the whole program of reform; how he believed that wealth should always be under the control of the law, but he did not want to be a candidate and ought not to be, but that he thought he could say that he would accept, and if he did so, and so forth. And then the convention went off into a whooping fit, and shook John by the hand, —and the thing was done. Afterward John accepted a Beat in the brauche of the “old and only religious,'’ and was drawn to his fine home by the greatest horse of the day—Bichard 111, and later on John went to the Third ward polls, attended a Republican cau cus and voted with the boys, inputting up delegates who will name the ticket that will knock the Democrat and Pop ulist ticket clean over the left field fence. It was a great day for the “pope”— a great day for John—and during the night the heavens got a laughing and scattered water generously! Jerusalem ! But this is a big country and lots of funny people in it! The district committee was named as follows: Davis—J. B. Downing. Jasper—Perry Engle. „ Mahaska—Alf Wooster. Monroe—W. H. Hinton. Keokuk—R. Weller. Powshiek—John Evans. Wapello—J.Lowenburg. The following is the platform accept ed by Mr. Baugh—the convention hav ing adopted the same: PREAMBLE. We,the representatives of the people’s I party, in convention assembled,do here- I by declare that we are opposed to the I conditions in this country that make I millionaires of the few and paupers of Itbe many; that creates hovels on one I side and palatial mansions on the other. I We are opposed to the laws that squan- I derod 200,000,000 acres of the peoples’ j land to enrich foreign syndicates and de I prive Americancltizens of needed homes I We are opposed to the control of the me- I dium of exchange by syndicates, pools land trusts, therefore we demand that I money,railroads and telegraphs should I be the peoples’ servants ana not their ■ masters. We need the ten command- Iments, the sermon on the mount and ■ the golden rqle in our politics. We I must have a resolution in our system of {taxation which is almost a system of {confiscation of the property of the wealth producers, we should tax | wealth not consumption. We want a congress that will be able to run the government with less money and with out a deficiency. We want less legisla tion for the classes and more for the masses. We want lees plutocracy and more democracy. The real contest is not between labor and capital, but for the people to own and control the in strumenrs or attribution. Let our ef forts be for the people and for univer sal human happiness and absolute hu man freedom for the brotherhood of man and the fatherhood of God. Firat.—That we favor the unrestrict ed coinage of silver and gold at the ra tio of 16 to 1, and we alsoAemand that all money, whether coined from metal or paper, be made a full legal tender and Issued direct to the people by the gov emment. ! Second.—That we oppose the further issue of interest bearing bonds. Third.—We demand the abolition of all unnecessary offices and the reduction of all officers' salaries to correspond with the decline of labor and its pro duction. Fourth.—We demand an end to the I practice of the judiciary in setting them- I selves above the law aDd prostituting {their high offices or becoming the ac | complices of corporations in the op preesion and degradation os their em ployes and attempting to adrogate the constitutional rights of free speech, free press and peaceable assembly. Fifth. —A free ballot, a pure ballot, and direct legislation enabling the peo ple to propose reformation measures and rejectjperuieious and correct laws. Sixth.—That free labor should not be I compelled to compete with convict la bor, and that our laws should be strengthened and enforced against the importation of foreign contract pauper labor. Seventh.—We denounce the dealing in futures and options as the most danger ous species of gambling and demand its prohibition. Dr. Price’s Cream Baking Powder Ferty Years the Standard DIED IN THE WATER. Elza Tharp Drowns Under Peculiar Circumstances in Skunk River. Elza Tharp, son of I'eter and Mary Tharp, of West Dea Moines Twp., was drowned in Skunk river about 4:30 o’clock Friday evening.' The body was recovered at eight o’clock and taken to Undertaker McCurdy’s, where it was embalmed and prepared for burial. The remains, followed by a number of friends from the city, were conveyed to the parents home, where the funeral was held Saturday afternoon at three o’clock and Interment made in Davis cemetery. The circumstances attending young Tharp's death are unusually touching and of a peculiar nature. Thursday afternoon he, in company with Mrs. John Strain and Electa McCrea drove to the river for an afternoon’s fishing and sport. Tharp knew of a deep pool near the McClain farm, about midway between the water works and Com stock’s park, that sheltered many fish Arriving at the place the young man donned bathing clothes and evidently prepared to fish in a wholesale way. He used dynamite cartridges which ex plode in the water, kill the fish and bring them to the surface where they are easily handled. His fishing had been successful as was shown by a number of fish thrown upon the bank and float ing upon the water. It is thought that he had prepared to make another haul and had thrown another cartridge into the water. There being no explosion he threw in another and there was an answer, probably the explosion of the first charge. Seeing a large fish come to the surface Tharp swam in after it and undoubtedly received the shock of the explosion of the Becond cartridge, and was thus rendered helpless. The ladies say that he turned toward them, commenced spitting in a violent man ner, had turned very pale and was struggling to gain the bank. He called for help and the ladles running here and there could find nothing but a piece of grape vine about eight feet in length. They waded into the water but tbe vine was too short to reach the distressed boy. He said a faint goodbye and sank, arose again, and a second time raid farewell and sank to rise no more. 1 The ladies were appalled by what they had seen. They marked the place where 1 the dying boy went down and hastened to the nearest house for help. Mrs. Strain drove to the city and gave the alarm. Messrs. Geo. Godfrey, Perry Asher, “Bun” England and Frank Un derwood, who were near friends of the deceased hurried to the river and began the Bearch for the body. Their persist ent efforts were soon rewarded and the drowned boy was taken from the water about eight o’clock aud brought to the city by Frank Under wood and Geo. Godfrey. The body was found In 18 feet of water and about 15 feet from the bank. Geo. Godfrey who was in the river In recovering the body was made very ill by something peculiar in the water. He says the water was thirty five feet deep iQ the pool where young Tharp was drowned. Elza Tharp was a young man of ex ceptional character; he was a young farmer of West Des Moines Twp., and was soon to be married to Miss McCrea. He was a member of the Oskaloosa Cycling club and had been In training for tbe races of the coming week. He was ii the city much of the time lately in his association with the wheelmen. He was a young man of modern Ideas, progressive and liberal in all ways, honored, respected and popular in the country and in town. His death causes universal sorrowing among a wide circle of friends. The body was takea from the city Saturday at J :30 o’clock r. m , and about thirty members of the Cycling club with unmounted wheels proceeded the funeral procession. It was a touching tribute to the young life so suddenly cut off. The people quickly recognize merit, and this is the reason the sales of Hood’s Sarsaparilla are continually increasing. Hood’s is “on top.” The lowa editoi ial delegates to the National Editorial association left the Auditorium bote], Chicago, at 6:30 p. m., Wednesday, June 27. At 7:15 p. m., in company with o'her western del egatee, the lowan a left by special train of Pullman sleepers over the Chicago and Grand Trunk Railroad for Asbury Park.

Governor Jackson has issued the fol lowing proclamation for the battle dag day of Iowa: The Twenty fourth General Assem bly of the State of lowa enacted a law providing for the better preservation of the eolors, standards and battle tlags borne by lowa regiments and batteries during the War of the Rebellion. In compliance with the provisions of the said law hermetically sealed glass cases have teen provided and placed in ap propriate positions in the corrider of the capitoi in which the battle flags will be preserved. The 10th day of August, 1801, has been selected as an appropri ate day for the transfer of the lowa bat tle flags from the State arsenal to the capitoi building. This great occasion, one of the last official acts of our state in patriotic rememberance of that heroic army which she sent forth to de fend the dag while yet in the very in fancy of her statehood, is one in which every true citizen of lowa will be deep ly interested. The hardships and sacri fices, the alternating victories and de feats, and the final triumph and after glory of that army are matters of his tory ; but, the battle dags around which our lowa soldiers rallied and under the folds of which they marched through smoke of battle to victory or death, are left to us, a precious heritage toward which the hearts of all lowans go forth in grateful remembrance Slow, therefore I, Frank 1). Jackson, Governor of the State of lowa, do here by recommend that the 10th day of August, 1884, be known and referred to as Battle Flag Day, and that it be ob served as a public holiday consecrated to the memory of the patriotism and val or of lowa’s soldiers, living and dead. Let the subject of patriotism, as rep resented in the one hundred and thirty three flage that led the seventy thousand lowa soldiers into battle, be the in spiring sentiment of the day, and I hereby request that all the people of this commonwealth i efnin upon that day from unnecessary labor and join in appropriate exercises in commera tion of this patriotic occasion. Let as many as possible of the sur viving members of lowa regiments take a personal part in the exercises of this day. Let regemental reunions be called to meet at the Capitol city on the day previous, so that as far as possible these battle flags may be carried oy their own respective color bearers, surround ed by the broken fragments of regi mental organization. With aspirit of reverent solemni ty, let thepeopleof lowa devote this day to the consideration of the relation of the citizens to the flag; of liberty as distinct from license; of loyalty, pat riotism and heroism. Let ns again re new our devotion to the flag; our fideli ty to the law. In Testimony Whereof. I have hereunto set my hand ana caused to be affixed the G reat Seal of the [sEAL]State of lowa. Done at Dee Moines this twen ty-eighth day of June in the year of our Lord One thousand eight hundred and ninety-four. By the Governor: Frafk D. Jackson. W. M. McFarland, Secretary of State. By C. S. Byrkit, Deputy. er A few weeks since Ham Lawson, of le this county, started south with team o. and wagon, on a camping tour. From 18 Grabeel, Ozark county, Missouri, he m writes: 16 “I will write home of my travels le through Missouri. I crossed the line le on the 25th of April and went through y~ some very rough country in Putnam ig and Sullivan county, and some nice farms in the southern part of Putnam r- and northern part of Sullivan. On the g 28th we travelled in Linn county; it has d very fine farms, beautiful groves, large i. orchards, beautiful buildiDgs and every ia body busy; we crossed the line into g Chariton county on the 29th and went e two miles into the county and put up for y a month’s sport. We visited one week i. with our friends, William Collins, who j, used to be James Loughridge’s partner », in the sawmill in SpriDg Creek Twp. in e 1875, and John and Will Venable. We e then made up a fishing party and went e to North Grand river and went into a camp at the C, B. &Q. railroad bridge. It Two of the boys took the minnow seine e and went for bait; two took guns and s went for squirrels and John Venable t put out trout lines. We had a splendid l time; we caught one hundred and fifty three fish—some bass that would weigh four pounds, the rest were cat fish. We J killed forty-nine squirrels and some other game I won’t warrant as it was out of season. The afternoon of the Bth, we sent to Sumner after a tub, and ' dressed and salted our fish and on the ! » 9th left camp and returned to John I t Venable’s, and everybody had all the ) fish they wanted. When we got back J . the boys at liothville wanted to seine t some lakes on Yellow Creek bottoms, i i We caught some very large Buffalo,and i went the next week to Linn county near Brookfield and Goose Lake and caught i fish until we were tired of them; dried our seine and prepared to go south. May 28, we left John Venable’s at 7 2b I o’clock a. m., crossed the Missouri rive „„ I and went through some fine country ii I Saline county. Marshall, the counts es seat, is a fine town; from there we went to Ito Sedalia, in Petis county. We camp ir. led close to the water works south oj w | Sedalia. There is a beautiful park al I the reservoir. June 2, went tbrougt 51 1 Petis into Benton county. The north )e I era part of the county is fine farming >s I land until you get within six miles ol a _ I Warsaw, then the rock begins to get oe " I top and the farm on the underside. Got 16 1 into Warsaw at noon, did not stop on klthe Osage; dinnered on the south side ly I and commenced to climb the Ozark e j I mountains. We came to where the | roods were all macadmized with na ,e I ture’s work—gravel all sizes from the el size of a marble to a wagon wheel s I Some places they are paved with solid | rock with humps on the rock two feet I high, other places the rocks were set up I edgeways and nature forgot to smooth i-1 the top, that is the kind of roads we e I had in Benton county south of Osage I river. Fishing was good inlittle streams. I Trout, bass, black perch and a fish the * I natives call Campbelitee,are very plenty (Small game is plenty—squirrel ana 1. 1 quail. „ ( When we got into Hickory county I the roa Is were smoother and some fine 1 1 country, beautiful farms and the crops ■. I were looking fine, wheat the finest 11 i I ever saw, com was waist high on all I the valley farms. The town called ’ I Cross Timbers is a nice town and the ‘ I country around is good; Preston is a •{very pretty place. Went into Dallas 11 county; it has lots of rough land and I some very fine farms. Urbana, Buffalo I and Lewisburg are the towns 1 went I I through. Good crops in Tricker and] ■ I Dallas county and the best watered I , I country that I have found yet; got into { . I Webster coqpty June 6, I have not got! ■ much love for Webster county, it is I ivpry high and drv and at nearly every { [ house they would stop us and ask if we 1 1 wanted to buy land. Marshfield, the! (county seat, is about the size of Car-1 I bonado. Seymour is on the top of the I I mountains and they call it prairie land,l I but it is a good fruit country and the I I prairies are all covered with little stool I I grub oaks. We came through Douglas I (county; Ava, the county seat, is just! I about the size of Lacey. Bock is very | I plentiful in this county ;they are on top | lof the farms and it requires a vast I I amount of labor to get the farm in a [ I good state of cultivation. Ozark coun- [ 1 tv is next; the upland is very rocky but j lit would surprise you to see corn grow | I ing among the rocks. Corn looks well j and wheat is very good; today is the! 118th of June, and wheat harvest is al j I mott done; oats Is poor. There is lots [of government lana and rook in this! I county, lota of good pasture, plenty of j I good water, plenty to eat and the most j | friendly people we ever met. We are I on the head waters of Little White j river and its tributary and we can go { fishing any time and catch bass and j trout. My health is improving.

The electrical force of the human body, as the nerve fluid may be termed.

Nerve force is produced by the brain and conveyed by means of the nerves to the various organs of the body, thus supplying the latter with the vitality necessary to in sure tnelr health.

Martin has . been made general manager of the lowa Central railway will be received with . pleasure by the thousands of friends of , this able, big-hearted, big brained rail i road man. He was offered the position i some time ago in event of the reslgna . tion of General Manager McNeill, who ■ had been offered the management of . the Oregon Short Line and other west ern railroad interests. After consulta i tion with Russell Sage and other mag t nates in New York his acceptance was j yesterday decided upon and he will re turn to lowa to take charge of the road in a few days. r The appointment of Col Martin, it is t safe to say, means new life and enter prise to this road. He will make it , more efficient than it ever has been be fore and gather for it business that will soon place it in the list of the more suc cessful roads of the state and the west. He is that kind of a man and that kind of a manager. He has succeeded with everything that he has undertaken, and . he will succeed with this, which is b [ all odds the greatest and highest posi i tion that has yet come to him. To Col. l Martin’s abilities as a railroad man there ( are no limitations, and it is not too much to predict that he will rise justas high as these vast and intricate inter i ests will let him rise. Col. Martin’s career reads like a ro mance. He has done all for himself and by himself. Forty oad years ago he was born in Virginia, which his family considered a good state to emigrate from. A baby of less than a year, he war carried into the wilderness of lowa. His family settled in Marion county, along the Dea Moines river, a few miles southeast of Pella.There young Larkum went through all the experiences of a country boy, working on a bottom farm in the summer and going to school—very little—in winter time. But in those short terms in an inefficient country school he learned the rudiments of an education, upon which he has succeed ed in building a fine career. When still a young man he got it into his head that he wanted to be a railroad man, although his father’s farm was far re mote from the railroad—since that time the Wabash has touched his parental farm. With that ambition he went to Pella and learned telegraphy under the successful railroad man, Capt. J. M. Cox. Mr. Martin also served an ap prenticeship in the office of the Pella Blade and he is a full Hedged printer. From night operator at Pella and Prairie City he worked his way up steadily until he came to Dee Moines. His career here Is an open book. His record is one of which Dee Moines is proud. His appointment will give lowa and Dee Moines a vital interest in at least i one lowa road. Too often the properties have been managed by men who are not only strangers to the state but to the wants of its people. Col. 1 Martin can make his road popular by 1 managing it for the people of lowa, s whom he knows and loves. The Regis ter expects much of this new manage- . ment. Dr Hook, telephone 131.
