The Next Governor.

The political bleachers do not seem
roofing for Gov. Drake with any parti-
,cular degree of enthusiasm -Des Moines
Leader.
The triple alliance" will have a hard
time to get a candidate for governor who
will be satisfactory to the three wings of
the new party.-Mason City Globe Ga
zette.
There is talk of Gov. Drake being re-
nominated for second term, and there
is also talk of knocking him out of the
box. He doesn't need it again.-Dun-
lap Reporter.
Either Judge Caldwell, M. F. Healy or
Horace Boies can be elected governor of
Iowa next fall. They are the right kind
of men, and stand firm in the advocacy
of the rights of the peeple.-Mason
Democrat.
Des Moines correspondents think
Drake will be renominated by acclama-
ton. But there will be plenty of time
before August for these correspondents
to learn matters concerning other parts
of the state-Cedar Rapids Gazette
Fred E. White, formerly congressman
from the Sixth district and Catholic
halter of rare virulence, will undoubtedly
be temporary chairman of the next DEM
ocratic state convention. 1t is singular
what hold one poor term in congress
has given Fred on Iowa democracy
Carroll Herald.
1t is understood that the present gov
ernor of Iowa, Gen. F. M. Drake, is a
candidate for denomination and that he
is talking to his friends in his own be-
half. He claims that his party services
entitle him to second term. Certain
it is the claims of Gen. Drake for a
second term are not different from those
who have been accorded such recogni-
tion.-Des Moines Capital.

name the republican members of COM
mittees, although democrat was finally
given the speakers chair. He is presi-
dent OF the National Association of Nur-
serymen and is widely known in horti-
cultural circles. Gov. Drake will meet
with opposition for denomination, and
more acceptable candidate than Repre-
sentative Funk, of Hardin county, is
in the field.-Sac Sun.
It now seems certain that Gov. Drake
will not have clear field for renomina.
ton. The Atlantic Telegraph brings
out Hon. Silas Wilson, of Cass County
evidently with that gentleman's know
ledge and approval. Mr.. Wilson is a
good man, and will have strong support:
but there is clean cut, able statesman
at Spirit Lake who will have host of
hackers if he will consent to enter the
lists. We refer to A. B. Funk, the tai
ented editor of the Spirit Lake Beacon
and the distinguished state senator who
has made such an eviable record as a
legislator. Let Abe Funk say the word.
and the republicans of northwestern
Iowa will throw up their hats for him.

IOWA SHIPPER DENIED DAMAGES.
Interstate Commerce Case Decided by the
Supreme Court.

Interstate Commerce Case Decided by tho
Supreme Court.
WASHINGTON, May CA case decided
by the supreme court involving the inter.
state commerce law was that of E. M.
Parsons, plaintiff in error, against the
Chicago and Northwestern railway,
in which Parsons, an Iowa shipper,
sued for 81 $50 on account Of alleged
determinations in freights ON corn and
oats between Iowa and Nebraska points
to the eastern seaboard. The company
in 1887 charged 81 cents per 100 pounds
from Iowa to Chicago and IL cents from
Nebraska to Chicago ON goods bound
for New York, Boston, Philadelphia or
Baltimore, and Parsons, claiming that
the value of corn and oats at Chicago
was the seaboard price, less the freights,
attempted to recover 10 cents per 100
pounds on BALTIC pounds. The court
in the opinion given by Justice
Brewer sustains the circuit court of
appeals, which decided in favor of the
railroad company.
Justice Brewer said there was no
averment that the rates were unreason-
able, that Parsons is not seeking to re-
cover money inequitably taken from
him, but ON account of the wrongful
conduct of the company. Before a
shipper can recover under the interstate
commerce act he must show not only
the wrong done by the carrier, but that
it is operated to his injury, says the
court If he had shipped to New York
and been charged local rates he might
have recovered any excess thereon over
the through rates.

Attractive Women.

Why is one woman attractive and an
other not? The most admirable and at
tractive thing about an attractive wo-
man is her womanliness. Everybody
admires a womanly woman. She must
have health, of course, because without
1t she would lose the brightness of her
eyes, the fullness of her cheeks and her
vivacity. Real health must mean that a
woman is really woman. That she is
strong and perfect in a sexual way, as
well as in every other. That she is
capable of performing perfectly the
duties of maternity. Some are born
with what is called constitutional weak
ness" Those who do not enjoy perfect
health, need only take the proper pre-
cautions and the proper remedy to be-
come perfectly we'll and strong. Dr..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription will cure
any arrangement of the distinctly femme
organism.
