GOVERNOR TEMPLE?
Said osceoIa Man Will Be a Candidate
for State Executive.


Des Moines, Jan. ION. L.. Temple,
of Osceola, will be candidate for gov
ernor to succeed Leslie M. Shaw. ac>
cording to a report current at the
state house. 1t is said that his candi-
dacy has been advanced quietly by
friends for the past few days, and that
in the event of an opinion by the SUI
preme court next week sustaining
Judge Dewey and knocking out the I'll
tus amendment, as is generally ex-
pected, it will be announced and ac-
tive work begun.
Mr.. Temple his lived at Osceola for
number of years, is lawyer of I'M
usual ability, and has attracted much
attention in politics as well as in the
legal world.
He was a member of the house in
the Twenty-seventh and the Twenty
eighth general assemblies, and was
last year chairman of the committee
on judiciary, one Of the leading COM
mittees in the house organization.
Mr.. Temple is an attorney for the
c., B. & @. railroad and has been es-
pecially interested in railroad legisla-
ton, having been the author of the
Temple dIuGuulucllL Ill Llc WcuLy-
seventh general assembly.
The amendment offered by Temple
provided nor shall any contract of
insurance, relief, benefit or indemnity
in case of injury or death, nor any
other contract entered into prior to
the injury between the person injured
and such corporation, or any other
| person or association acting for such
corporation, nor shall the acceptance
of any such insurance, relief, benefit
or indemnity by the person injured
after an injury from such corporation
person or association, constitute any
bar or defense to any cause of action
under the provisions of this chapter
Substitutes were offered for the
amendment practically doing away
with the main provisions, and these
carried. In 1897 both the democratic
and the republican state platforms
contained clauses favoring the enact
ment of the Temple amendment, an1
in few days after the opening of the
next session of the legislature bill
practically the same as the origina
Temple amendment" was introduced
in the house by Representative Cool
and in the senate by Senator Hobart
These passed with but slight oppo

The DUTY OF MOTHERS.

Tradition says woman must SUI
fer" and young women are SO taught.
There is little truth and a great deal
of exaggeration in this. If a young
woman suffers severely she needs
that she gets it.

daughters to physician for examine

write freely about her daughter or
herself to Mrs. Pinkham and secure
the most efficient advice without

bill on the Sth of March, 1898, thus
ending the memorable fight.
A year ago when the Gear senator
ial fight was on, Mr.. Temple was lined
up on the Gear side and was early
mentioned as candidate for speaker
of the house. When it was seen that
the Cummins forces were much
stronger than had been anticipated
and that DR.. D. H. Bowen, OF ALBANIA
llee. was also in the field for speaker
ship, Mr.. Temple was induced to sur
render that the Gear forces might tri-
umph and that w. l.. Eaton, OF Usage,
should be defeated for the speaker
ship.
At the time Mr.. Temple withdrew
from the race for speakership it was
broadly limited that something better
had been promised him, and this fact
was recalled when the fight for United
States attorney for the southern dis
trict of Iowa was opened some weeks
ago. Mr.. Temple was never actively
in the field and it was seen that his
name was being held back for another
place.
Something of Temples strength in
southern Iowa can be cleaned from the
fact that Congressman Hepburn is re-
ported to have threatened to support
Temple if the opponents of Lewis
Miles did not willingly concede anoth-
er term for the Corydon man.
Mr.. Temple is So years of age, hav-
ing been born in Wadestown, Va, in
1S4S. He has lived in Iowa for more
than quarter of century. He first
entered politics eight years ago, when
he was chosen presidential elector for
the Eighth district of Iowa.

these two diseases and their effects;
such as sour stomach, sick headache,
habitual costiveness, palpitation of the

DIFFERS WITH DEWEY.
Sioux City Judge Says the Titus
Amendment in Valid.

Sioux City, Jan. 11.-Judge Hutchin-
son, sitting in a Cherokee county case
involving the validity of the Titus
amendment, has gone on record
against Judge Dewey of Washington
county, holding that the amendment
was properly adopted, that it Is valid,
and that further the officers elected
at the last general election are en-
titled to take their seats under it.
This sustains the new amendment to
its fullest extent.
The action arose in the efforts of
Daniel Phelan incumbent, to keep
Daniel Unger, recently elected men,
Der of the board Of supervisors, out of
office. Unger appealed to the courts,
and this afternoon Judge Hutchinson
declared that he was entitled to his
place.
Unger qualified for his office imme-
diately after his election and presented
himself, but he was refused seat by
the board on the ground that Daniel
Phelan, the incumbent, should hold
over by reason of the provisions of
law on the adoption of the Titus
amendment.
Declared Legally Adopted.
Judge Hutchinson, in lengthy opin-
ion from the bench, held that the Titus
amendment was legally adopted and
that member of the board elected in
1900 was entitled to his seat. He op-
posed the views taken by Judge Dewey
and closed by saying that the claim
that the amendment was not legally
adopted and that the newly elected
officers were not entitled to their Of
fees found Judgment largely in the
minds of thoseo who are disposed to
criticize and find fault with the man
ner of adoption, rather that to look in
to the real facts and merits of the
adoption without technical criticism.
Comment at State Capitol.
Des Moines, ian. 1.-THE decision
of Judge William Hutchinson of the
district court of Sioux County sustain
ing the Titus amendment was on pues-
lions similar to those involved in the
case decided by Judge Dewey, but the
Washington county case is the test
case made by the attorney general and
Senator Titus.
1t is one which will be considered
by the supreme court next week, while
no attempt has been made to bring
the Sioux county case before the SUI
preme court. The difference of opin.
ion of the two judges is generally
commented upon, tho Judge Dewey's
opinion, being more exhaustive than
the state case, has received most at
| tention.
The latter is being criticised, how
ever, forsthe statement that the enter
| ing Of the amendment on the journals
of the legislature is the only publica-
ton provided. The law requires the
publication of proposed constitutional
amendments just before election in at
least one newspaper in each congress
lional district.

A DOCS LOVE OF HOME.

Canine Travels Alone and Afoot from III
Reno, O. t.. to Muscatine, Ia
Half starved and with feet badly
swollen and eyes sunk deeply in its
head from privations endured during
a long and wearisome journey, large
Newfoundland dog belonging to c. W.
Franklin, of this city, arrived nome
today from Ell Reno. o. T., having
made the entire journey from that
city afoot.
Arriving at his masters doorstep
the faithful animal collapsed, and
would have died of fatigue but for the
immediate use of restoratives. His
long nails had been worn most entire
" on in his run for home, and all four
feet were swollen three times their
usual size. In spite of his fatigue the
dog is already recovering his former
health and spirits.
Knowing his qualities as a watch
dag, Mr.. Franklin loaned him to his
brother, Melvin Franklin, who, with
his family, was about to start for Ell
Reno. The party left Muscatine on
May Is and arrived in Ell Reno three
weeks ago. A letter to friends in
Muscatine upon their arrival stated
that the dog was still with the com
pany and had proven a valuable aid
in watching the wagons on the trip
westward.
No further information was re.
ceived until this morning, when the
dogs arrival gave evidence that it pre-
ferred comfortable home in Iowa to
the wild life of the land of lottery dis.
trict.
Mr.. Franklin resided at Isl Boone
street when the dog was taken away,
but during its absence moved to the
house adjoining their old residence.
The dog naturally passed by the new
home upon his return this morning
and went to the old house and knocked
violently on the front door with his
| paw. Mrs. Franklin saw him and
rushed to the adjoining yard, closely
followed by her children, and threw
her arms about the dogs neck in hel
Joy at his return. The children were
heartbroken when the Newfoundland
| fell at their feet, thoroughly worn out
after its long Journey.
Mr.. Franklin refused neat sum FOL
| his dog this afternoon, saying that ne
price would now tempt him to par
with so faithful an animal.-Kansai
