"tired-Out" woman who complains Of
backache, headache, loss Of appetite, ex-
treme lassitude and that don't care"
feeling is pretty sure to be suffering
from Female Weakness" some irregu-
larity or arrangement Of the special
functions of womanhood. Very often
womb troubles set the nerves wild with
alright, and as result the woman suf-
fers from sleeplessness, nervousness,
nervous prostration, faintness and dig
zlness, irritability and indigestion. In
all cases Of irregularity or suspended
monthly function, and In all those ner.
VOus diseases depending upon local
causes, DR.. Plerces FaVorlte Prescrip-
ton will restore you to perfect health.
Instead Of the exhaustion and feeling of
weight and dragging down in the abdo-
men, you feel fresh and strong. For
young girls who suffer from irregularl-
ties, for the hard working woman who
suffers from catarrhal Inflammation Of
the lining membranes, causing con-
stant drain upon the system, there is no
prescription used by any physician
which can equal In results Dr. Pierce's.
For over thirty years Dr. r. V. Pierce,
Chief Consulting Physician to the In
valids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, of
Buffalo, N. Y, has used his "Favorite

farmers may look upon these figures as
pretty big, especially for officials of cor
poratlOns which are described as "proV-
ident," mutual" "eQultable"-anything
In sort but proft-seeking. It would be a
mighty good thing IL some Of the inQulsl-
tive methods which Kansas is applying
to insurance corporations were initiated
In other communities. For example, 1t
would certainly not do any harm II
States generally should initiate Kansas
In compelling insurance companies to
submit sums-if any they have expended
in campaign contributions to political
parties. It Is perfectly evident that the
POpulist commonwealth hasn't a Lou
Payne for Commissioner OF Insurance.
II enormous sums of money are not be-
ing wasted or misapplied by insurance
companies then the officials OF these cor
poratiOns are not subject to the weak
nesses of ordinary human beings. When
ever combination or ring" manages
an enormous property, owned by tens Of
thousands Of small shareholders that
ring Is enriched. It Is so nOtOriOusly Of
all our railroad corporations. It Is 80
probably Of most insurance companies.
Life insurance grows more popular, but
no cheaper, though in every other busl-
ness an enormous increase In volume re-
suits in the lessening Of the price Of the
product, II is not so Of insurance. Ex-
traVagant salaries, heavy commissions to
a multitude Of agents, the erection Of
prodigiOus business blocks In towns
where no profit can be expected for years
to come, even heavy political Contribu-
tions--as was brazenly shown by the
Connecticut company In 1S96-are spouts
through which the money pours out as
fast as the hard-pressed pollcyhOlders
pour 1t in.

The supposltion that the entire East
Is up in arms against Insurance COmmis-
sioner McNall does not seem to be we'll
founded. The following from the New
York Journal indicates that his work
ia appreciated and understood by some
Eastern people:
''Tt looks very much as II the Kansas
Insurance Commissioner had struck the
right track when he demanded that life
insurance companies desiring to do busi-
ness In his State must flle explicit infor-
nation as to the salaries paid their chief
officers. The Evening Post. stirred by
this demand from crank Kansas, has
investigated the matter, though not ex-
haustively, and reports that four Presi-
dents of New York companies receive
$4,000 a year, several Vice Presidents
get $4,000, and that many lesser OFF,
cialS are remunerated by salaries rang
ing from $4,000 to S25,0OO. Perhaps

Baker for Governor.

Some time ago 1t was stated that ex-
Congressman William Baker OF Lincoln
would become candidate for the Popu-
list nomination for Governor. At that
time the editor Of the Lincoln Beacon,
which is his home paper, published the
following card over his signature:
Hon. William Baker informs us that
he is not candidate for Governor and
has never authorized any one 10 an
nounce him as such, under any cOndi-
tions as stated in the Topeka State Jour-
nal of February rs or under any other
conditions"
But the announcement, nOtwithstand-
ing the statement Of Mr.. Bakers feel
ings in the matter, caused many express
sions favorable to his candidacy, and in
the Lincoln Beacon, March 10, the fol-
lowing announcement was made:
Hon. VIM. Baker Of Lincoln Is not q
candidate for the Populist nomination
for Governor, but his friends will see
that he is nominated for that place II 1t
is among the political possibilities
"Wm. Baker was never a candidate FOR
Office but once, and that many years ago.
when he ran for trustee OF his township
and received every vote of his township
except his own for the place, In 1890,
when the Lincoln county delegation went
to Hill City for Baker first, last and I'LL
the time he was not candidate by and
Of his own motion, but by the selection
of his friends, and the nomination came
to him without his lifting hand--as alb
solutely unsought as any instance Of po-
litical preferment in the history OF the
United States. In 1892 and 1894 he was
not a candidate any more than In 1890
he allowed his friends to run him, ac-
quiesced in their judgment that he
should and could be reelected, and the
results justified their opinions. In the
general wreck of 1894 the Sixth district
came through without break In the
ranks and sent VIM. Baker-the Quletest,
most unassuming and least ambitious
man who ever went to Congress from
Kansas, back to represent her at Wash
ington; the only POpulist that went back
that year from Kansas, when the State
ticket, all the other Congressman and
the State Legislature were Republican.
Following the election OF 1894 1t was
held by many OF the most level-headed
and far-seeing politicians that he was the
logical candidate for Governor in 1896
that his unbroken, unsullied and phe-
nomenal record as vote-getter demand
ed that he lead as candidate for Governor
the forces in 1896. But Mr.. Baker felt
that he needed and wanted rest and In
sisted upon taking 1t, absolutely refusing
to be a candidate conditionally or other
wise.
Nov we have to say that Mr.. Baker
Is In the hands Of his friends (aS he was
in 1890 '92-'94) and will accept the nom
lnation for Governor If 1t shall be deemed
politically wise to nominate him for that
place
"This does not make of Mr.. Baker q
candidate against any other man, or to
command tradeable strength in the in
terest of somebody else. But all the anti
Republicans of the State whose hearts so
out to an Ideal vote-getter with an un-
Sullied record are invited to come In out
of the wet"
