Frederick Edward White, whom the
democrats of Iowa named yesterday
to make second race against Leslie
NJ. Shaw for the governorship, has
been q resident of Keokuk county for
over 40 years. Born in Germany in
1914. he came to this country with
his widowed mother at the age of ID
and settled near Webster with an
uncle who had sent for the family.
His name originally was Weiss, but
he changed it to White at the request
of his uncle. Before he was 10 he
had saved enough money to buy 40
acres of brush land. That was the
beginning of his big farm today, but
he saws il was all the land was worth
to grub the roots out of it. He had
not made much of Il start before the
war broke out. He was fired by pa
triotism Cor the country he had
adopted only four years before, and
went to- Davenport to enlist, but was
rejected on the ground that he was too
small. He applied again two months
later. and in February, 1862, he became
a private in Company l. of the 18th
Iowa volunteers. His regiment was
q part of the famous Croker brigade,
and Iowa is justly proud of it's glor-
ious record in the war. He cam
paigned with Grant, beginning two
DAYS after the slaughter of Shiloh and
fighting all the way to Vicks-
burg. Then he became a part of
Shel mans army, marched to the sea
and waded through the swamps of
the Carolinas. On his return home
he resumed farming. Farming with
his head and hands instead of with
his mouth. living frugally and being
blesssIhl v5t6H helPmate in fact
as weff as in name, he kept his head
above debt. and is assured of comfort
for the remainder OF hisdays. He has
always taken great interest in politics.
In 1892 he was nominated for congress
in his strong republican district and
he won in that year of democratic
landslides. but was defeated for re-
election. In the national convention
in Chicago in 1896 he presented the

Not to be Found Among Others.
Morrow's Kid-ne-oids, the great
remedy for kidney and urinary all
ments, is scientific preparation. Ii
has been perfected after Is years OF
hard work by an experienced chemist.
Kid-ne-oids act gently, thoroughly,
quickly and directly on the kidneys,
nerves and urinary organs. They
build up the system and restore its
normal parts to their natural condi-
ton.
\ Mrs. George Cough, 6S2 Grace
street, Elgin. ILL.,, speaks in favor of
Morrow's Kid-ne-oids, as follows: Il
have had severe pain in my back for
long time previous to taking Nor
rows Kid-ne-oids, but after taking
them relief came suddenly and l can
recommend Kid-ne-oids to anyone suf-
fering from weak back. which is
caused by disordered kidneys"
When the kidneys are sluggish and
overworked, backache is the first indi-
cation that something is wrong. Do
not let slight backache or pain in
the region of the kidneys go unheed-
ed. 4 few doses of Morrow's Kid-ne-
oids will remove the backache in q
very short time, and course of treat
ment with Kid-ne-oids for about two
weeks is usually sufficient to cure q
bad case of kidney complaint.
Kid-ne-oids are not pills, but yellow
tablets, which is scientific form of
preparing of medicine. They are put
up in wooden boxes which contain
enough for about two weeks treat
ment and sell at 90 cents a box at NJ.
