B. HOLST, Boone. IT is merely a coincidence that tbe return of Mark Hauna is accompanied by a remarkable demand for "small bills'' in Ohio and west. Perhaps that "blocks of business has been put into a trust of "ones'" and stage of the Prime-Guest row as to which is which as brigadier of the Iowa guard succeeds another. Prime has been appointed a major of volunteers and has accepted.

So far as he is concerned, the Iowa "incident" is closed. WHO'S afraid of Fred White? Gov. Shaw, it is has decided not to go to San Francisco to meet the Fifty- first Iowa the party committee having decided he can not be spared from the campaign at that time- The committee and governor are not as optimistic in regard to that big majority as some of the republican editors. PLAYS POB POLITICS. The case of Rev.

Abrams, the political side partner of the Republican and the local republican party, against the board of supervisors, was dismissed a few days ago in the district court. It was entitled an appeal from the action of tbe board in granting license to saloons under the mulct law. There was no merit in the case--it was simply a bit of political advertising. There Is left another branch of the same alleged case--on certiorari--to which a demurrer has been interposed. This branch is of the same quality as the main stem.

This whole matter of prosecution against the board of supervisors and others under the mulct Jaw is merely a ''grand stand" play on the part of Rev. Abrams and his partner the Republican to keep alive their contentious assault upon Iowa City, to the end that there may be carried into enactment a statute prohibiting the manufacture and sale of liquors within 7.290 feet of the University, measured by the ordinary traveled road- The talk is now for a "three mile law," but as a matter of fact three miles would be as distasteful to the Republican as twenty. The notion is that by swinging this club the people of Johnson county they can be driven into electing the proper republicans(?) to tue legislature wheie their influence will secure a "compromise" on the basis of one and a half miles It is a brilliant plan, but once "the deal is closed" it means a brilliant success. It means to take from towa City a revenue of about 512,000 a year and give nothing in return. It means to close up two big manufacturing establishments for the beuetit of the Chicago, Milwaukee an 3 St.

Louis manufacturers. It means the suspension of pubMc improvements- The Republican and Rev. Abrams have for months been agitating this matter, and they have hesitated ao nothing that would make a noise. Both have magnified and exaggerated the slightest infraction of the mulct law: both have treated an isolated instance, occunng but once in years as though it were the usual and accustomed course. On the Gth of September Rey.

Abrams delivered himself of an interview in the Des Moines Register in part on the "three mile" business agitated and advocated at preset by the Republican, in which he said: "We shall certainly introduce such a bill in the next legislation." Who is Who can it be but the Iowa City political partners of the Rev. Abrams and the Republican? ID this same "interview'' is a false statement that Hon. George W. Ball, who is a candidate for senator, is a candidate for delegate from the Methodist Episcopal church conference of this district to the general conference, with the words "the rumor goes that the church membership is pressing the three mile question upon Mr. Ball rather assiduously and that it is to be the real issue in the nomination of the candidate." This, from Bro.

Abrams, be it said, is wholly untrue- Mr. Ball is not "a candidate for election at the coming church and has not been mentioned for the place--but is loyally supporting bis long-time colleague in tbe church membership Mr. Swisher. This Is well known to tbe Iowa City Republican, but it promptly and loyally printed the ui- truth with editorial endorsement tbe article in which it appears. The Iowa City Republican has been printing a great deal about tbe mile" matter, and will continue print a great deal more, and perhaj.s will undertake to segregate from political madness of its interested friends a declaration in the local republican convention in favor of sucli an enactment- The Clinton Herald, edited by David Brant, a former Iowa Cityan, who twenty years ago printed here a prohibition paper called the Investigator, and who is now a republican candidate for the legislature from Clinton county, says: "There are saloons in Iowa City, the same as there are in nearly all cities, and it is true they do not live up to all the requirements of the mulct and other laws.

But when the broad statement is made that they are especially bad influences surrounding the students, it is false." and more to the same effect. The purpose of Rev. Abrams and the Republican is not for the good of Iowa City. THE JAIL AND STONE. ACTION WAS HASTY.

Roosevelt's G. A. R. Dispatch Sent Without Knowledge of Facts. C.

L- Wandt, the architect who designed the jail building and who -contracted for the erection of the same, for the Stewart Iron and Steel Js in the city looking after his firm's interests. The Stewart Co. sub-let the stone work to Rawson Mohnke, who agreed to have the building completed by November 25th, thus giving the first contractors plenty of time to make any small changes necessary, and delivering the building complete as their contract calls for by December first. Mr. Wundt says everything at his end of the line is coming nicely and the steel work is about completed, and ready to be placed in position.

Going down to the building site he was somewhat surprised to find the work at a standstill, and expressed the opinion that Rawson Mohnke could not possibly have the jail finished by the time set. Today he heard of the delay caused by the stone question and was somewhat surprised to find that this would make any difference as far as the jail was concerned. He stated that the plans and specifications called for Bedford stone and this article could be easily obtained without causing the long delay. Of course the board of supervisors could substitute Cleveland stone if they wished and it made not a particle of difference to the Stewart Iron they only wishing to see the building completed on time.

More About Declination of the.Vet- erans to Participate in the Dewey Parade--President Olax to Be the Nation's tiueat. and their staffs, in the light of comparatively recent parades--the latter In honor of our gallant soldiers who served In the Philippines--I could but feel that the grand army of New York, representative of state In the union, which sent more men than any otljer state to preserve the nation from ruin, were as richly entitled to head the line of the Dewey parade as were the comrades of Pennsylvania to lead a similar civil pageant In honor of our Spanuh-Americaa war heroes, and I felt when I made the plea that the precedent set by the state of Pennsylvania In having the veterans lead the line.

President McKinley and the governor of the state following, was one that might be followed without any loss of dignity to those controlling the Dewey parade in New York. I wish to add that my only desire has been to stand for the honor and dignity of the grand army, and I know I shall not be blamed by fair-minded and patriotic citizens for doing my duty in this respect as I understand it. It gives me the greatest pleasure to extend to Gov. Theodore Roosevelt, as the commander In chief of 350,000 veterans of the G. A.

my warm congratulations on the just and patriotic stand he has taken in behalf of the ageing I veterans of raticn 'p us'ig- ence to have their just request granted that they may lead the parade in the city of New York in honor of the great Admiral Dewey, thus assuring to our newest veterans that when they grow old, in their New York, Sept. 23. Maj. Gen. Eoe, who will command the national guard of New York state in the Dewey land parade, received a telegram from Gov.

Friday directing him to give the G. A. K. the choice of any place in the parade. Immediately- 011 receiving the telegram Gen.

Eoe had a conference with Mayor Van and then Chairman Guggenheimer, of the plan and 1 1 1 1 4 A UC4i 1 U1U, ill lllCll scope committee, has charge of turn, they shall not be the tail of any public the parade, was notified of the gov-! procession. As Commander Kay says in ernor's dispatch. After pointing out his letter to Gen. Roe: 'In their own time. that his committee a'one had the right to assign places in the of march, Mr.

Guggenheimer said of the governor's action: "It is peculiarly Eooseveltian. It is most impudent, unjustified and unwarranted interference in a matter that is without his province. I do not believe, however, that our committee will teke any notice of it." Gen. Roe declined to discuss the action of Gov. Roosevelt in advance of the action of the plan and scope committee.

It is said that Gov. Roosevelt Bent his telegram under a misappiehen- sion. Gen. Roe is not acting in his capacity as major general commanding the state militia, but as chairman of the subcommittee on land parade of the Dewey celebration committee of this city. Roosevelt Sets Himaelf Right.

Utica, N. Sept. the dispute as to the position to be accorded the G. A. R.

in the Dewey day parade at New York, Gov. Roosevelt said Friday night: "I have telegraphed Gen. Roe, that if the matter is one purely for the city authorities, and in 'which I have no power, then of course I withdraw my former telegram. I had understood that Gen Roe was acting as major general of the national guard in the management of the parade, and in that event of course, had the power to direct that the veterans be given the right of the line, and accordingly did it. If, however, as appears to be the case, it is a matter purely for the city officials, of course, have nothing to say, and no advice to give." Gen.

Roe Explains. At Friday's meeting of the plan and scope committee, Gen. Roe made the following statement: "In order that there may be no misunderstanding, I wish to make this statement in reference to the declination of the Grand Army of the Republic to take part in the Admiral Dewey land parade: On my representation, at my instigation and on my resolution, I was authorized by this committee to extend an invitation to the Grand Army of the Republic of Greater New York to take part in the parade, by having a certain number of men selected from each post forming a battalion or regiment, according to tbe number. I put mj self in communication with the state commander as soon as possible At the request of a. prominent grand army man, I wrote and asted Gen.

O. 0 Ho ward to take command of this body, being assured that this was agreeable to the state commander At an interview between the state commander, several members of the grand army and myself, I understood that the selection of Gen Howard agreeable At this same interview, after some discussion, I informed them that the grand arnij -would be assigned a position in tbe lead of the unarmed organizations At a later interview between the commander in chief of the A. the state commander, Col Goulden and myself, practically a demand was made that the grand army should have the right of the line, or head of tne column, Col that at a meeting held the day before it was the sentiment of the Grand Army of the Republic that if they could not have the lead they ould not parade. I called their attention to the fact that it was not a grand arm affair, that it was a cifj affair, and that that position was jiot their proper one, and said 'Positively ard ab- solutelj, the grand a i cannot have the head of the whereupon they retired. At another interview the commander in chief, with the state commander present, stated that he thought Gen.

Howard should not command the grand army I informed him that he was asked at the request of several grand army men, but I would write and ask Gen Howard to withdraw, whereupon the commander in chief sail: 'That is a simple matter, and can be arranged." Then he asked if I allow a picked body of 300 grand army men and himself to a the head of the column. I answered- 'I positively and absolutely will not authorize any portion of the grand army to be at the head of the column Subsequently I received the letter of declination. I have taken the position from the beginning, that the day was emphatically a navy day, that Admiral Dewey and the sailors of the Olympia should be in the lead with nothing whatever to detract. I have taken this stand relative to the grand army, as I am thoroughly convinced I am right I assume all responsibility. I do not ask the committee to approve my action, but abide by what 1 have done I have the honor to be a member of the Grand Army of the Republic, George Washington post." His Action Approved.

The committee agreed unanimously, upon the motion of Mr. Guggenheimer, to approve the action taken by Gen. Roe. No mention was made of the dispatch of Gov. Roosevelt.

Gen. Roe reported that he had learned that Ohio has proposed to increase its representation from 500 to 3,000 men. He suggested that in view of the lack of funds the committee authorize him to announce that no more organizations would be accepted. A motion to that effect was made and adopted. The committee then adjourned.

The Other Side. Gen. Albert D. Shaw, commander in chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, has issued an address to the public, in which he says: "The reasons given In the letter from Department Commander Kay and presented in person to Gen. Roe, embodied the I personally and strongly impressed upon him, and which should command the place for the comrades in the line in question.

I made this request following the precedents of two states. First, in Chicago, at the Jubilee parade, the veterans were accorded the right of line and marched ahead of all armed troops; second, on the return of the Tenth regiment, Pennsylvania volunteers. from the Philippines, the Grand Army of the Republic had the right of line in Pittsburgh, followed by the president and gov- and in their own way, the Grand Army of the Republic, as representatives of the veterans of the civil war, ill render the homage that they feel for their comrade and great admiral, George Guest of the Nation. Washington, Sept. connection with President Diaz' visit to Chicago, it is expected that President McKinley will meet the Mexican president at Chicago and invite him to come to Washington, as his guest and the guest of the nation.

Tentative plans along these lines have been considered, and more definite arrangements will be made when the official announcement is received as to President Diaz' intentions. route northward is expected to be through San Antonio and St. Louis. At the latter point he may make a stop, as the Latin-American club of that city have telegraphed to the Mexican embassy here an urgent request that the president honor St. Louis -with a In recognition of the presence of a foreign ruler within the country, it is probablR that a representative of President McKinley will meet the Mexican president at the United States border and accompany him throughout Ms stay in this country.

An army officer of high rank is likely to be selected for this service. No less than 14 invitations from that many cities have been extended to President Diaz to be their guest during his stay in the United States. But the understanding among officials is that he will not be able to accept many of these. THE ODD FELLOWS Delegates Entertained at Mt. Clem-Various Items of by Executive Brunches.

Sept. of the visiting odd left the city Friday. The bulk of those who remained went to Mt. Clemens in the afternoon, occupying a long line of cars run over the Mt. Clemens Rapid railway.

At the bath city the crowd was entertained as guests of the odd fellow lodge of Macomb county. The sovereign giarid lodge, by a vote taken Friday, refused to abolish the old uniform of royal purple degree. The patriarchs militant had strongly urged uoing- away the uniform the du sion named. The legislature adopted a resolution authorizing- relief committees to raise funds for relief purposes by giving entertainments and by any other means which the state grand masters may approve. A proposition for the establishment of a sanitary fund i aid of odd fellow sanitariums in regions of resort for invalids was recommitted.

It had been claimed that the burden of caring for in-valid members by the local lodges of such regions is unduly heajy. A report of the judiciary committoe was adopted, deciding that visitors to the ereign grand lodge need not be members of the Rebekah branch, although the grand representatives must be. A proposition to install lodges of odd fellow in the army, more particularly that branch at present in the Philippines, was referred to a committee, with direction to report as to the advisability of the scheme at the next session of the sovereign grand lodge. An unusually large number of decisions made bj Grand Sire Pinkerton, 164, were Usually the grand lodge rejects or changes many of the grand sire's decisions, but this year only one was altered. A pending proposition made two years ago to establish odd fellow chautauqua circles was indefinitely postponed.
