How to Prevent Pneumonia.

You are perhaps aware that pneu-
rnonia always results from a cold or
from an attack of la grippe. During
the epidemic of la grippe a few years
ago when so many cases resulted in
pneumonia it was observed that the
attack was never followed by that dis
ease when Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy was used. 1t counteracLs any ten
dency of cold or Ia grippe to result
in that dangerous disease. 1t is the best
remedy in the world for bad colds and
la grippe. Every bottle warranted. For
sale by all druggists.

N. LABOR| STILL lives
The Wounded Lawyer May Yet Re.
cover In Time to Aid In
Dreyfus Trial.
Now Developes That Shooting Was
the Result of an Anti Dreyfus
Conspiracy.
Enemies Of Dreyfus Thought to Be
Aiding the Assassin to
Escape.

Rennes, Aug. 15.-Labori, after a
night of terrible agony, is somewhat
better this morning. The doctors, how
ever, are still unable to probe the
wound. Laborrs assailant has not yet
been arrested.
Labori is now doing SO we'll that the
doctors consider him out of danger. He
lies on his back, unable to move, but
life is returning to the leg which yes
terday was thought to be paralyzed.
He has no fever and continues to dis
cuss the trial. The doctors hope to see
him on his feet before the trial is ended.
Labori confirms the statement that
his pockets We're rlfled while he was ly-
Ing wounded on the ground yesterday.
He had just fallen when two men ran
up. One removed Labori's coat and the
other attempted to steal wallet in
which he carried papers connected with
the Dreyfus case. Labori, however, held
fast to this and the contents were saved.
After he was carried home the pockets
in his coat We're found to be entirely
empty. but. fortunately, they contained
no important papers.
The man who actually fired the shot,
it appears, was only one part of the
machinery of conspirators. In spite of
the extensive search made for the
would-be assassin. he is still at large.
The impression is gaining ground that
he is being aided by anti-Dreyfus coun-
try people. Labori's doctors sent to
Paris for X ray apparatus to locate the
bullet.

Holst,s Name Suggested.

Boone. Aug. 15.-The democrats Of the
central and western part of Iowa are
planning to present the name of Pro-
fessor B. p. Hoist as "a compromise can
didate for governor at the convention
on August 16. Mr.. Hoist is about 81 or
3S years of age is forcible cam
paigner and has many friends among
all classes of voters. He is a large land
owner of Boone county and has shown
much skill as a business manager as
well as a campaign and school superin-
tendent.
About thirty years ago the parents OF
Mr.. Hoist settled on Boone county
farm and have been among the mos

of democratic fathers. He has been the
county superintendent of schools the
past ten years. while the county i:
thoroughly republican, often as much
as from 1000 to 1900. and he has beer
elected on a straight out and out dem.
ocratic ticket. His business tack ane
official efficiency have made him q
winner with all classes.
Mr.. Hoist, a splendid type of the
German citizenship of Iowa, being as
proficient in German as in English, anl
possesses knowledge of the Scandinav.

From conviction bimetallist, he was

united opposition to trusts, rhilitarism
and monopoly. He would bring to hi.
support, his friends claim, the laborel
and farmer and merit the consideration
of Iowa school teachers. In place o.
being handicapped in the canvass, they
say. he would bring enthusiasm to ths
rank and file as new man in the race
and unhampered by past political en-.
tanglements. In short, he would Sc
cure the warm support Of all elements
in different parts of the state.
Mr.. Hoist has been mentioned fol
superintendent of public instruction
but his friends think he is the mos,
available man for the head of ths
ticket and will present his name to the
people with that view. His nomination
would mean strength and union for the
democrats and all classes opposed tt
the teachings of the republicans.

to win without any great effort. The
general belief is that if Bashor is not
nominated on the first ballot Sells will
win on the second or third, the last bal
lot being practically unanimous.
Judge NJ. ]. Wades candidacy is not
taken seriously. In fact, there is no
need Of its being considered by the con-
vention, as under the Iowa constitution
"a district judge Is ineligible to any
elective or appointive office during the
term for which he was elected He
cannot even resign to accept the nomi-
nation or appointment to any position
except a place on the supreme bench.
This fact does not seem to have been
appreciated by the supporters of Judge
Wade, although 1t was pretty thor
oughly noised about the lobbies last
night. 1t leaves the field practically
clear for Bashor and Sells.
Candidates for the other nominations
are conspicuous only by their absence.
NJ. L. Bevis, of Mt. Ayr. is being urged
for the nomination as lieutenant gov
ernor. No other candidates are in the
field and he seems to have clear sailing
No aspirants have as yet been discov-
cred for the nominations as supreme
judge, state superintendent of public
Instruction or railway commissioner.
These will have to develop in the con-
vention.
Practically the whole contest in the
convention depends largely upon the
character Of the address delivered by
William j. Bryan tonight. If Mr.
Bryan deals principally with the sub
lject of expansion and touches but light
| ly upon the money question the state
central committee and Cato Sells will
| win, but should he reverse this pro-
lceeding tomorrow's convention Will go
ialmost solidly for 16 to and there will
be no ambiguity about this plank in the
| platform. Mr.. Bryan will deliver two
addresses in the evening, one at the
auditorium and the other at the taber-
jnacle. Gen. Weaver will share the pro-
gram with him at the latter place.
No suggestions have been made as
! yet as to the selection of the permanent
chairman of the convention. For the
craftsmanship of the state central COM
mittee George Huffman, of the Seventh
district is practically conceded the
| election. Fred Townsend. of Abba, the
present chairman, has declined re-elec-
ltion to the committee as he is practi-
cally assured the nomination to the
state central committee in the Marion
Monroe district. S. F. Mcconnell, of
the Bloomfield Democrat. and Attorney
Remington. former editor of the Iowa
| City Democrat, are aspirants for his
place. In the Ninth district E. H. Bick-
ford. of Greenfield. is desirous of re-
election, but he is opposed by F. A.
Bixby, of Council Bluffs.
