The state delegation is probably favorable to Hobart for secretary of state, and' will be solid for GUbertson for treasurer. It is undecided ae to supreme judge. The delegation will be against E. H.

No man has been more closely identified with the development of and no man will take a more honored rank In the annals of the state." From another correspondent.

Des Moines, July 14. Special: Des Moines politicians declined to discuss, except In a general way, the political aspect of Gear's death. I think It will soften tip the fight made on Hobart, said Adjt. Gen. -Syers.

Tbe fellows who have been fighting him so hard will find they have some other things to think about from now on. I think it will make a material difference in the convention. C. C. McCarthy, Cummins manager last winter, said: "I believe that Mr.

Cummins should be selected, and that an extra session should be held." Treasurer, of State Herriott said an extra-session is unnecessary. it costs too much. Judge Carr, Cummins' manager, said: "I think Judge Hubbard Is the natural appointee by the governor." A. B. Cummins declined to say he was a candidate, or to discuss the succession at all.

Congressman Dolllver was here today, but declined to discuss the political aspect of the case. Opinions differ as to whether an extra session will be called or not. Lacey is the heir to the Gear strength, and has assurances from Shaw's inclinations make Geo. D. Perkins an important factor.

To sum it all up it may be said that Shaw's desire, will be to call an extra session so he may have a show; next to appoint a man who will retire at the end of a short term and give him a show at. the legislature In 1902, and last to appoint some strong, man, but neither Dolllver nor Cummins. SENATOR TRIBUTE. Speaks of III Friend and Conferee in Termi of Deepest Regard, Dubuque, July 14.Speclal; In concluding a sketcn of Senator Gear's career. Senator Allison' said today: "During all his public service he was noted for attention to details.

-However unimportant these details might be to him personally, he realized that they were of great importance to those who commanded his services, and therefore gave them full attention. This habit of his continued up to the close of the last session. He was always ready to go to any department to serve a friend or constituent. I think it may be truly said of him that he was in 0 every public position an Intelligent, faithful and honest public servant, a wise counselor and devoted friend, and his loss will be great to the state of Iowa, and will be deeply deplored by its. people.

Few men were more attractive In their personality, and few have more easily gained the confidence and esteem of those with whom they have been associated. It has been my good fortune to know him since 1861. 4 Our 'friendship since that time has been without Interruption, and many times I have been deeply- indebted to him for, acts of friendship. His death, therefore, comes Co me as a personal bereavement." In answer to a suggestion concerning the vacancy. Senator: Allison said: "Inasmuch as the vacancy place during the recess of the senate, it is not probable that Gov.

Shaw will fill it before November, as congress will, not likely be in session until the first Monday in BELIEVE IT WILL BE DOLLIVERV Webiter Connty Repnbllcan Tkink He Will Be Shaw's i Port Dodge, July 14. The. news of Senator Gear's death has brought forth a united expression of support for Hon. P. Dolllver.

The exact situation is not understood here and sufficient time has not elapsed since Senator Gear's death for it to have developed. Congressman Dolllver himself left early, this morning for Des Moines, presumably to follow the situation close Webster county republicans believe that in- view of Mr. Dolliver's national prominence Gov. Shaw, cannot and will not do otherwise than appoint him to fill the vacant term. It Is also thought in the event of the appointment' of Mr.

Dolllver to the senate Gov. Shaw would receive the support of Webster county for the Tenth congressional district' nomination. Mr. Dolllver has given out nothing concerning his candidacy, but, will undoubtedly be in the race. BURLINGTON IN MOURNING.

II. V. Jones Takes a More Sana-nine View of Conditions In Northwest.

Minneapolis, July 14. H. V. Jone, In a conservative review of the crop situation in the printed in the Journal today, after personal inspection of the fields, predicts that the yield of wheat In the three spring wheat states of Minnesota and North and South Dakota will at the very least reach 135,000,000 as against 210.000,000 last year, and that with favorable weather during the ensuing four weeks the yield will reach 150,000,000 bushels. This is the highest estimate yet made.

Mr. Jones maintains that the soaking rains of the first days of July have worked wonders in the filling out of the wheat. The best section is southern Minnesota, in many of whose 'counties toward" the west almost twice as much wheat as last year will be raised, with a large area running from 20 to 25 bushels to the acre. The yield in South Dakota will be about the average and the marked deficiency occurs in northern Minnesota and North Dakota. The quality of the southern wheat will be high.

ISDIA3VS ARB STARVING. Unprecedented Dronght Cause Suf-fering Among Arizona Bravet. Phoenix, A. July 14. A drought, probably unprecedented ln the" history of this portion of Arizona, has greatly augmented the sufferings of the famine stricken Pima Indians on the Saca-ton reservation.

The members of the tribe told superintendent Howan, of the Indian school, that their cattle were dying rapidly from starvation and thirst. Most of the Indians now depend for food on the few who still have provisions, and supplies cannot last long. They are emaciated and suffering and unless the $33,000 congressional appropriation can be used at once private subscriptions or a similar relief measure must be taken. ROSEWATER FOUD GUILTY.

Special: "I notice that In the discussion of the coming campaign the leaders of both sides seem to are that the ctlt De ln the west," totnmented H. O. Weaver, chairman of the republican state "committee, "but they leave Iowa out of the list of states wherein they think the battle will be fought.

Now ibis is a fine tribute to the state, to the good sense and stability of her people, but It is fraught with some danger, especially to some of our congressmen. If the campaign Is managed on the theory that It 1 unnecessary to pay any attention to Iowa, we shall have some Vain regrets after election. Not that I think the state Is close, but Iowa republicans are often afflicted disease over confidence, and we never made as good a showing as we should in the state, except in 1896, because republicans always felt so sure of success that many of them were Inactive and many eren failed to vote. L' i see signs of an epidemic of this disease la Iowa. Kvery one is saying that 'the fight was settled In our favor at Kansas City, when the democrats came out for their real issue, 16 to 1 and the Chicago platform, nominated Bryan and turned down Towne.

liepub-1 leans seem to think that the only thing for them to do la to watt patiently for the formality of the election to be attended to by others. In 1S96 they were thoroughly frightened and they went to work and never let up tilt they had polled a vote of 2S9.28S for McKinley. TThls was more than 60,000 above the highest republican vote polled In the state before, that of McSar-fand for secretary of state ln 1894. Harrison ln 1892 had 219,000. Note how the republican vote has fallen since then.

In 18)7 Shaw had 224,000 for governor, and the next year, when the election of congressmen should have carried the vote away np, Dobson, for secretary of state, had 236,000 votes. In 1899 Gov. Sbaw succeeded ln bringing the republican vote up to 239,000, till 50,000 short of the vote of 1896. Every county In the state but four, Clarke, Monroe, Monona and Palo Alto, showed republican losses in compared with 1896. The total republican gains were 141 while the democrats gained 689 in seven counties, namelv: Benton, Bremer, Cedar.

Chickasaw, Muscatine, Osceola and Scott." What Democrats Have Done. "And what have the democrats been do-lag all this time, Mr. Weaver?" They have been doing better than we have in getting their vote out," replied the chairman, "though last year we beat them a little. In 1892 Grover Cleveland had to which should be added for comparison the 20,000 populist votes cast that year. In 1894 the democratic vote was 149,980, and the populist vote 84,907.

In 1896 Bryan had 223,741 and the next year Fred White, democratic nominee for governor, had 194,853, a falling off of only 13 per cent. At the same time the republican falUng off was 22 per cent, of the vote of 1896. ln 1898 the democratic vote in Iowa was 173,000, and in 1899 Fred White, again for governor, had 183,326, a reduction of 18 per cent, from the vote of 1896. The republican vote of thai year shows a reduction of a trifle less, 17 per from McKlnley's vote. "Taking the congressional districts.

It is well known that the First, Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth and Seventh districts showed republican Josses last as compared with 1898. Tbe Second district gave a republican majority of only 45 last year. Republicans Shonld Look Alive. "It will be well for the republicans of the state to think of these things. It would aio.

MAMMKllnon be almost as oaaio nave iue juunvau rote of the state run down so we wpu'd have only a small majority as It would be to lose a congressman or two, and both may happen If republicans do not do their duty. I have no doubt we shall elect all -our eleven congressmen, but It will be done, by every republican doing his share. It must not be forgotten that the democrats are better organized In Iowa this year than they have been for several years, much better than in 1896. They have had their headquarters open and in active operation in lies Moines for several months and nave been scouring the state for funds." A close comparison of the vote by- coun-tlefrin 1S96 and 1899 shows that In ten counties the republican vote fell off more than 1,000 and in twenty-eight counties the republican loss was more than 600 and less thnn 1.000. 54 The democratic vote tell off 1.000 or more In only four counties, and ln twenty-one counties the democratic decrease was more than 500 and less than 1,000.

Profound Regrret Is Expressed in Sioux City at HU Death, Regardless of political affiliations or belief, Sioux City citizens gave utterance to expressions ot deepest regret when the news ot Senator John H.

Gear's death became known. Hundreds of prominent republicans and democrats were privileged to meet him at some time or other during his long political career, and all bear pleasant recollections of him. Senator Gear's last visit to Sioux City was made last fall at the time of. President William McKInley'a western, trip. Senator Gear, with a number of other prominent Iowans, came here to join the presidential party on its journey east-, ward across the state, and at that time he met a large number of his friends and acquaintances.

He- looked hale and hearty, and as if he would readily fulfill the assurances of his campaign managers that he would live to serve another term in the United States 'senate. In Sioux City as in other part of the state a large host of people will remember Senator Gear for the little kindnesses he did for them through his official No matter how busy he might be, every request for information, for public documents or anything else of a like nature received his personal' Through the little things ot life he won, his way so strongly Into the hearts of his constituents. "It was his attention to these little thin gs that won my devotion to Senator Gear," remarked the young man in a little group that was talking of the senator's death. "When I was in college I was scheduled to take part in an intercollegiate debate on the monetary question, and I wanted a copy of the report of the Brussels monetary conference. I wrote to Senator Allison and to three or four representatives in congress to get It, but from the secretaries of these men I got terse replies that the supply was short.

Hearing of Senator Gear's kindness in these matters, I wrote to him and in a few FACTS ABOUT FLOUR. Made White by Leaving Oat the Fart Help Digest. Modern methods of milling separate the parts of the wheat berry that contain the dlastatic element, and- furnish only the white flour made up -almost entirely of starch. One of the principal elements needed to digest this starch has been left out in the process, and therefore the person who eats much white bread is almost sure to have intestinal troubles, for the starch does not digest properly and must, of necessity, decay, and "cause all sorts of trouble. Grape-Nuts food, on the contrary, Is made up of the entire wheat and barley, and the processes of digestion as shown in the human body are copied as exactly as possible, in a mechanical way, by the use of moisture, time and warmth.

No chemicals or other ingredients are used, but the simple methods scientifically arranged. In this way the starch of the grain is transformed into grape sugar, and the Grape-Nuts food, which appears in a granular form, 6hows on the outside of the little granules, glittering specks of this grape sugar, which is not put onto the food from the outside, but is a result of the change of the starch into grape sugar, which works out to the surface," very much as the sap' of the hickory or maple tree will frequently "show in the 6hape of white sugar on the sa wed-off ends of logs. 1 A handful of jGrape-Nuts held to the light will show the little glittering particles of grape sugar. It is naturally and scientifically predigested, therefore the food agrees with the weakest sort of a stomach. It must not; be used in large quantities at one meal, for it' is concentrated, and over-feeding of even the choicest food Is not advisable.

Being perfectly cooked at the factory, the food can be served Instantly, either dry or wet, cold or hot. When Wanted hot, hot water, milk or cream can be poured over It.

A special to the Times from Washington says: "The gold democrats will not put a ticket In the field this year," said W. P. Bynum, of Indiana. "We cannot get our electors on the official ballot in New York because no Totes were cast for the party candidate for governor in 1898, and the state law requires that a certain number of votes shall have been cast for state officers in the preceding election before the nominees of any party can go on the official ballot in the pending contest. Our party organization in New York was abandoned two years ago, members of our party voting other tickets.

"The only way we can have our candidates for electors put on the official ballot is by petiiton of a certain number of voters in each county, an exceedingly; difficult thing to do in the present case, as the members of the gold democratic party have affiliated themselves with one or the other of the old parties on the New York is the one state where our ticket might do the republicans some good, and if we cannot get it on the official ballot there Is little use of nominating a national ticket. The new Australian ballot laws in other states also operate against independent movements." WOULD HAVE A TICKET. Gold Democrat Plan to Nominate Candidate of Their Own. New York, July 14.

Ex-Mlnlster to China James B. Angell spoke tonight in University hall on "Tbe Crisis in China." After reviewing the news that has been received from the orient, telling of the terrible slaughter there, he said that if it Is true, there must be a wiping out of those responsible, and a rehabilitation of the According to Dr. Angell, the newspapers exaggerated the effect that 'the work of the missionaries has had upon the -uprising. The Chinese, Dr. Angell believes, object to the missionaries primarily because they are foreigners, and not because of fear of their religion.

A more serious cause of the uprising. In his opinion, is the rumor that the great powers are going to bring about an immediate partition of the empire, Finally, said the ex-minister, a reaction has set In against the reform measures suggested by the late emperor and his followers, and the conservative members of all classes are up In arms to guard against- the change. President Angell said in conclusion that if the empress dowager; and her adviser have been concerned in the present state of affairs they must be cleared out of the way. "Integrity of the empire ought" to Jbe preserved." he said, "and I am glad to see that the United States and Great Britain and possibly, other powers are united for this end.

Senator Gear cultivated a wonderful memory for names and faces. Once he had met a man he remembered him, and more than one country delegate to a state convention from some obscure voting precinct marveled that Senator Gear should select him. from out of: the large crowd and address him correctly as Henry or William as he shook his hand. For more than a quarter of a century he had been in Iowa politics, and gave him touch with the patriarchs of his party as well as with the newer elements constantly developing.

Along with the discussion of Senator Gear's death and the telling of reminiscences of his career, politicians of every political stripe busied themselves with talk and gossip about the political situation that has suddenly grown up out of the senator's death. It was anticipated that the senatorial fight that waged so warmly last winter and for a year or two preceding would gradually die out after Mr. Gear's election; but now the struggle will be on anew with a larger field of aspirants than ever before. Senator Gear had still seven years', time to serve in the senate.

Hia present term expires March 1901 and his re-election last winter was for a term beginning in 1901 and ending March 3, 1907. It lies within the power of Gov. I M. Shaw to appoint a successor to serve until the state legislature can meet to elect a new senator, but the final choice of senator may fall to the lot of the same state legislature that elected Senator Gear last winter. If the vote of the state this fall is in favor of the constitutional amendment for biennial elections the present legislators will have their term of office extended a year, thereby constituting them the Twenty-eighth general assembly as well as the Twenty-seventh, and to them will come the work of selecting a successor, to John H.

The advertisement of the sale, has led to a number of inquiries from outside cities as to the meaning of it, some of them based on the mistaken theory that the plan of reconstruction had failed. It Is declared by Harvey's representative that this was just the opposite of the troth; that the sale was in exact accordance with the original plan, and was necessary to get the property out of the receiver's hands so as to effect the reorganization- He said Col. Harvey, as an agent of uie Morton Trust company, would sell the property to himself, as there would without doubt be no other The company of Harper Bros? would then take the property and business, with Col. Harvey as the president of the company. He added: "As a matter of fact, we have already made enough money in the past six months to make its.

future sure. Harper's Weekly has within the past thirty days increased its sales 267,000 copies. Tbe other periodicals are doing well. The sales of books for the last six months have increased over 20 per cent. "A large lot of new machinery has been put in and the establishment is being electrically equipped.

Matters could not look better. Tbe success so far has far exceeded the expectations of the plan mapped oat. Contracts for books have been made with Kipling, Hall Caine, Mary E. Wllklns, Booth-Tarklngton, Winston Churchill, Henry James, I. Zangwlll, Sarah Grant, Mrs.

Humphry Ward, and, indeed, nearly every author of prominence at home and abroad.
