issues are exactly the same as they
were in 1896 and no one, who believes
in Republican principles, has any
right to neglect to go to the polls and
vote. a comparison of the vote OF
Iowa in 1899 with that of 1896 shows
an alarming percentage of Republican
stay at-home voters. The same thing
was true at the congressional election
in 1898, at which time if the Demo
Gratis had polled their full vote they
would have elected congressman In
over half of the districts of the state.

BoRRs SENTENCED TO DEATH
Held Up Hands I'm Token of Surrender,
Then Fired on British.


London, Oct. pa dispatch re-
ceived at the war department from
Lord Roberts, dated Pretoria, Friday,
Oct. 26, referring to the fighting OF
General Barton's column with Cen
eral Dewet's forces Oct. %, says:
"The British losses were heavier
than at first reported. An additional
officer and twelve men were killed and
three officers and twenty-five men
were wounded. The Beers left twen-
ty-four dead and nineteen wounded on
the field and twenty-siX Beers were
made prisoners. Three Beers, who
held up their hands in token of sur
render and then fired on the British,
We're court-martialed, convicted and
sentenced to death. l have confirmed
the sentence"
The dispatch also refers to minor
affairs In which the troops of General
Kitchener and General Methuen were
engaged and serious incident be-
tween Springfontein and Philippolis,
Orange River Colony, where fifty cav
airy men were ambushed and captured
by the Beers, only seven Of the party
escaping.
Another dispatch from Lord Roberts
says:
Barton attacked the ubiquitous De
Wet near Frederickstad. The Beers
were scattered in all directions"

A FEW LAST WORDS.

Republicans, don't scratch your
ticket.
The only safe way to vote is by mark
ing your ticket with cross i'll the circle
at the head of the Republican column.
Every Republican vote should be
polled before noon on election day.
Keep tally lists and check off the vot-
ers and then send for those who are
old and unable to walk to the polls
and for others who fail to come.
Have carriages at every precinct
in the state and men to go after the
voters and see to it that every Repub-
lican vote in the precinct is polled. Do
not allow Republicans to stay in the
cornfields and, if necessary, take men
along to husk corn while you take the
voter to the polls.
Remember that one vote lost may
turn the scale in some close precinct
or district and may result in the cleo
ton of Democratic congressman
from Iowa and a Democratic congress
man from Iowa may be the one vote
that is needed to enable the Democrats
to organize the house and defeat Col
onel Henderson for reelection for
speaker.
Republicans Of Iowa, remember that
this state now has prestige in con-
gress beyond that of any other state
in the Union. 1t is now represented
by a solid Republican delegation in
both houses and one Of that number
was the first man west Of the Missis-
sippi ever chosen as speaker of the
house. State pride alone. II there were
no other reasons, should induce every
Republican in Iowa to cast his vote to
retain this proud position. You have
the votes to do it and no specious argu.
ment, no appeal for complimentary
votes for another candidate because
he is "good fellow" no personal 50
licitation on the part Of a Democrat
or personal friend should induce you
to vote for any other man for this
high position than the candidate OF
your own party.
There are Republican votes enough
in Iowa to give the national and state
ticket $4,000 majority. The Democrats
are striving, by personal solicitation
to induce Republicans to throw away
their ballots by complimentary votes
for Democrats. Do not be misled by
this sort of argument or appeal, but
vote the Republican ticket straight.

Filipino Aid to Bryan.

In speech which he has just made at
Canton, o., Secretary of War Root re-
newed the charge that hope OF and a
desire to aid in Bryan's election in
spired a continuance of the fighting in
the Philippines, saying
''You have been told that the present
activity of the guerrillas in the Phil
ippines-who, from their hiding places
in the mountains, ambush and murder
our troops and the friendly natives
is the result, under express and tN-
pllcit orders from Aguinaldo, of de-
sire to maintain a show OF resistance.

THE EXTREME OF FOLLY.

THE EATREME OF FOLLY.
The most foolhardy man who ever
risked his life, or the most infatuated
gambler who ever risked his fortune, is
a sage compared with the man who
attempts to get the best of Nature.
The foolhardy man may succeed. The
gambler may win. But the man who
takes chances with Nature is bound to
lose. If the obituaries of tens of thou
sands who are cut down annually in
life's prime were truly written death
would not be attributed to this or that
form of disease, but to an attempt to
evade the necessary laws of health.
The weak spot in the modern man is
his stomach. 1t is in disease of the
stomach that many of the maladies
begin which carry off the busy men of
the day. The seed of disease once
planted in the stomach grows and
spreads like some climbing parasite
about a tree. 1t throws out a tendril
about the heart and presently another
which grips the lungs, and others again
which take hold of kidneys and liver.
Then suddenly the man is smitten by
heart disease or lung disease; or sue
cumbs to some malady of kidneys or
liver. The real seat of disease is the
stomach. And one of the reasons why
the diseases of the other organs often
fail of cure is that the treatment
ignores the stomach, and attempts to
treat directly the other organs, whose
diseases are only symptoms of disease
of the stomach and other organs Of
digestion and nutrition.
THERE'S PLENTY OF PROOF
of the soundness of the proposition that
diseases of other organs remote from
the stomach which are caused by dis
ease of the stomach must be cured
through the stomach, and, in fact, can
not be cured in any other way. The
best proof In the world is that Doctor
