IOWA SPEAKERSHIP FIGHT
POwsn Appears to Be Making Decided
Progress in His Campaign.
PLEDGES COME IN TO HIM EVERY DAY
Gear Men Claim They Have Sufficient
Votes Pledged TO Organize the
House by e. Comfortable
Majority.

DES MONIES, Dec 19--(Special Tele-
gram.)-1t seems to be the general opini u
among conservative politicians in the lobbies
that Bowen is making decided progress ia
the speakership fight, particularly so in the
last three or four days. This is largely due
to the fact that it is becoming generally
known that he has a majority cf votes in
his own congressional and judicial district.
This gives him decided advantage over his
competitor, Mr. Eaton, who resides IN the
same judicial and congressional district.
Three or four Gear men, who seemed dis
posed to ally themselves with the Eaton
forces for the speakership last week, have
come into line for him and are now saying
that at the time they allied with the Eaton
people it had not been demonstrated to them
that the senatorial contest would be fought
out on speakership lines.
Gears friends are demonstrating to the
different members as they arrive in the city
that they have "a of the 81 votes in the
house, while Mr.. Cummins has q. They are
also endeavoring to convince the members
that they have sufficient votes pledged to
organize the house by from IS to q ma
jority. Additional pledges are now coming
in to DR.. Bowen by mail daily.

B0IES ON CAMPAIGN ISSUES
Former Governor of Iowa Gives
Views ON what Democrats should
Put Forward in 1900.

WATERLOO, Ia, Dec. 19.-Horace Boies,
formerly governor of Iowa, says the issues
which the democratic party should put for
ward in 1900 are: Unyielding opposition to
colonial system that requires for its main
tenance the exercise in any degree of the
military power of the government.
An unyielding pledge that the future gov
ernment of the Philippine islands shall, on
honorable conditions, be left exclusively to
the people of those islands.
The inviolate keeping of the pledges of
this nation that Cuba shall be free.
Opposition to a great standing army.
Ceaseless antagonism to trusts in whatever
form organized and the immediate removal
of all protective tariff from goods controlled
by the TRUSTS.
A broad declaration that the issue of the
currency of the country. both coin and pa
per, is rightfully a function of the govern
ment alone, the volume Of which should
be controlled by the congress of the ma
tion instead of by private corporations for
individual gain.
An unqualified declaration in favor Of the
continued coinage on government account
of both of the money metals to the full
limits required by the business interests
of the country, such limit to be determined
by congress.

Manager Nichols of the Council Bluffs Gas

terday that he is in the field on his own ac-
count and is prepared to abide by his propo-
sition and erect plant as soon as the con
tract is awarded him and a franchise
granted, AS to his plans Mr.. Dryer de-
clned at the present time to discuss them.
1t is understood, however, that in the event
of the contract being awarded him, he pro-
poses not only TO furnish light, but the
plant will be erected so as to supply heat by
means of hot water system to business
houses and private residences throughout

IN TENSE SUFF FER|NG
FROM DYSPEPSIA AND STOMACH
TROUBLE.
Instantly Relieved and Permanently
Cured by Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.

Medicine.

A New Discovery, but Not Patent
Medicine.
DR.. Redwell relates an interesting account
of what he considers a remarkable cure of
acute stomach trouble a9d chronic dyspepsia
by the use of the new discovery, Stuart S
Dyspepsia Tablets.
He says The patient was man who had
suffered, to my knowledge, for years with
dyspepsia, Everything he ate seemed TO
sour and create gases in the stomach. He
had pains like rheumatism in the back,
shoulder blades and limbs, fulness and dis
tress after eating, poor appetite and loss Of
flesh; the heart became affected, causing
palIitation and sleeplessness at night.
'T gave him powerful nerve tonics and
blood remedies, but to no purpose. AS an en-
pertinent | finally bought a 50-cent package
of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at drug
store and gave them to him Almost inn
mediate relief was given and after he had
used four boxes he was to all appearances
fully cured.
There was no more acdity or sour,
watery risings, no bloatng after meals, the
appetite was vigorous and he has gained
between 10 and 12 pounds in weight of solid,
healthy flesh.
Although Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
advertised and sold in drug stores, yet |
consider them most valuable addition TO
any physicians line of remedies, as they
are perfectly harmless and can be given TO
children or inyalids or in any condition of
the stomach with perfect safety, being
harmless and containing nothing but fruit
and vegetable essences, pure pepsin and
Golden Seal.
Without any question they are the safest
most effective cure for Indigestion, bilious
ness, constipation and all arrangements OF
the stomach, however slight or severe"
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are made by
the f, A. Stuart Co. of Marshall Mich, and
are sold by druggists everywhere at so
cents per package.
