RESULTS OF PRIMARIES Tuesday for the second time Iowa tried the new State wide primary nominating law. The law worked well for better and more satisfactory than the old regime. The results of Tuesday was a sweeping victory for the Progressives of Iowa, they carried practically all the state offices, but two and all the congressional districts but three. This was a remarkable thing for the progressives to run when they were working against adds, for the national administer was against them. The sweeping victory for Judge S. F. Prouty over Capt. Hull was a most glorious one, and we are glad beyond expression that our district will now have a progressive as it should have.

Of late the shadow of the fatal microbe has hovered over the trembling lips of expectant lovers.

GARROLL BY 3.980 George Cosson Nominated for Attorney General BOTH CLAIM THE CONVENTION Palmer and Thorne Probably Nominated for Railway Commissioners—Race Close Between Beuquet and Garrett. Des Moines, June 10—State Chairman Carl F. Frank authorized the announcement that he had decided to call a meeting of the republican state central committee for next Tuesday in this city. It will meet to select a temporary chairman and other officers of the state convention of August 3. The names of Senator Cummins and Charles Grill of Davenport, the republican nominee for congress, have been mentioned. The committee will be confronted with a peculiar situation. While the proposition has a majority of the votes in the state, the standpattens have nominated their candidate for governor, and the two factions claim that the convention bears their complexion. The question of the total vote has furnished an interesting inquiry as to the interpretation of the law with respect to the total vote in case of two candidates for two places on a ticket, a railroad commissionship of this year. The Returns. The returns from eighty-three counties give for the office of railroad commissioner, Palmer 47,605, Thorne 42,304, Wilson 40,161 and Ottertown 35,581, the others having a less number. For attorney general George Cosson was nominated by about 7,000 majority. Mr. Chantlau, who was next to Mr. Cosson, acknowledged defeat, assuming the figures to be correct. The state superintendency probably will go into the state convention, although J. F. Riggs has the advantage. REPUBLICAN STATE TICKET. Lieutenant Governor—George W. Clarke. Secretary of State—W. C.

Vote on Governor by Counties. Des Moines, June 10—Following is a table giving the semi-official vote in ninety-seven counties of the state on the head of the ticket in the primary election June 7: Total majority ..... Net Carroll majority For clerk of the supreme court two-thirds of the counties give Burgess W. Garrett a slight lead, but the gains of Colonel Bousquet, the incumbent, in the later returns indicate that this advantage for Garrett may yet be wiped out and Colonel Bousquet nominated. For reporter of the supreme court W. W. Cornwall seems to have won. The total vote in the state was less than 174,000. The standpattens estimated it would be about 125,000 and the progressives believed it would go almost as high as two years ago on senator when it was 210,000.

TRAMP KNEW HUMAN NATURE Simple Stratagem That Secured for "Knight of the Road" a Substantial Meal. A clever little bit of human nature was used by a "knight of the road" recently on a matron living in a suburb of Pittsburg, and as a result he slept with a full stomach that night. The suburb is quite small, and when the tramp up off a freight and ambled up main street he was quite hungry. There were about ten houses which gave fair chance of meals, and the tramp lost no time. He was not surprised when the first housewife slammed the door in his face, nor the second, for that was natural and the proper thing to do. But when he reached the ninth house, or rather was helped away, he was thoroughly disgusted. The town certainly had him hoodooed. After a short rest and a deep think the hungry one knocked at the door of ninth house. "Madam, can you let a hungry man have a bite to eat? I don't think you can, though," he said. The woman opened her ears. "Why can't I?" she inquired. "Why can't I?" she inquired. "The woman next door said you didn't have enough for yourself." He got his meal.

FEED CHILDREN On Properly! It pays Big Dividends Big Dividends If parents will give just a little intelligent thought to the feeding of their children the difference in the health of the little folks will pay, many times over, for the small trouble. A mother writes saying: "Our children are all so much better and stronger than they ever were before we made a change in the character of the food. We have quit using potatoes three times a day with coffee and so much meat. "Now we give the little folks some fruit, either fresh stewed, or canned, some Grape-Nuts with cream, occasionally some soft boiled eggs, and some Postum for breakfast and supper, sometimes for they have some meat and vegetables. "It would be hard to realize the change in the children, they have grown so sturdy and strong, and we attribute this change to the food elements that, I understand, exist in Grape-Nuts and Postum. "A short time ago my baby was teething and had a great deal of stomach, and bowel trouble. Nothing seemed to agree with him until I tried Grape-Nuts softened and mixed with rich milk, and he improved rapidly and got sturdy and well."

Melbourne, Ia., June 10—Raymond Hardy, held by the Marshall county authorities in connection with the murder of his father, mother and brother Sunday night at their farm home near here, was released following the coroner's inquest, at which no recommendation was made that he be healed. The verdict of the jury was that the Hardys met death at the hands of a person or persons unknown, a blunt instrument being used. The jury did not find that the gas pipe, which the authorities believed was used in killing the three people, was the means of causing death. The funeral of the three visitors who held at the home Wednesday and young Hardy attended in charge of an officer. During the services he seemed to be overcome with grief and wept freely.

ROADS WITHDRAW NEW RATES ‘OMcials of Western Trunk Lines and | Nation's Executive Agree to. Let Commerce Commission Decide Prlccee aii iithee Tales: Washington.—The big rallroad off- cials of the west have made a com plete surrender to President Taft. At the end of a four-hour confer- ence Monday with the president in the executive offices, the representatives of the Western Trunk line committee consented to the announcement that they would withdraw the proposed in- creases in freight rates which the administration had enjoined by the federal court in Missourl early last week. ‘They further consented to make no further effort to increase rates until the pending raflroad bill has become law. This means that all future In- creases in rates proposed by these railroads must be reviewed by the In- terstate commerce commission before such new rates become effective. A latitude of 11 months is allowed the commission in which to investl- gate the proposed rate increnses, un- der the bill ag it 1s passed by the sen- ate, so that there is approximately a full year ahead under which the old rates must be maintained, in conse uence of the agreement which the ad- ministration forced from the railway men. So far this arrangement binds onfy the western roads. But at the White House Tuesday af- ternoon President Taft had before him Presidents Brown of the New York Central lines, McRae of the Pennsylvania road and such other eastern railway chiefs as they desired to bring with them for a conference along lines similar to those of the western conference. These . eastern roads have also filed notice of in creases in rates, ‘There is every rea: son to belleve that the president made a similar proposition to his callers and that it was accepted, and all pos sibility of increases in rates averted. In return for the withdrawal of the Proposed Increased rates the prest: dent agreed to discontinue the In: junetion proceedings instituted against the Western Traffic committee. But it 18 expressly understood that this action will not be discontinued until the completed railroad bill, as agreed to finally by the two houses of con- gress, has received the signature, of the president, ‘The agreement ts a distinct triumph for the administration. By a deft use of the Sherman agiitrust lew, ta voked asa club at the last hour, the threatened increase tn freight rates has been prevented and the railroads hold in check until congress finally puts into the president's hand the means whereby the Interstate com- merce commission will have at all times the full means of regulating all ‘tees aheboe BARE $2,000,000 |.
