deck, laughed and lifted or waved their
hats to passers-by. Several of the pris-

to complain of their treatment. The
sound today is alive with craft carrying
stores and workmen to the islands
where the camps are being prepared to
receive the Beers.

Chicago, June 29.-The thunderstorm
during the early hours this morning
broke the hot wave that has prevailed

Reports received this morning by the
Associated Press show a marked fall in
temperature In the western lake region
and upper Mississippi valley from that

in the hot wave, however, is probably
only temporary, as the weather bureau
states no cool wave has developed and

The last number of the Iowa Health
Bulletin contains the statement that the
physicians who We're on trial before the
state board of medical examiners at its
late session admitted their mistake in
not recognizing smallpox and thus fall
ing to report it for quarantine, duly
apologized therefor, promised not to do
SO again and We're discharged. 1t will be
recalled that q Hamilton cai,nty doctor
had lot of cases of smallpox on hand
and refused to recognize the disease as
such. This action probably puts an end
to the insurrection In the medical ranks
for some time, and hereafter smallpox
will be smallpox in every county of the
state.
The current number of the Bulletin
has this to say of itself and for its able
editor DR.. j. F. Kennedy:
With this issue the Iowa Health Bull
letin enters upon its fifteenth consecu-
tive year of publication under the same
editorship We are pleased to learn from
cur readers that our labors are appre-
ciated, that the gospel we preach is ac-
ceptable ;and that thru the precepts and
teachings of the Bulletin some have
been helped to healthier and happier liv-
ing. and the principles of sanitation
have been so firmly planted in the
hearts and consciences of the people
that Still better results will follow AS
the years go by we feel that the oppor-
tunities for doing good are becoming
fewer and fewer and it is our sincere
desire that volume XIV of the Bulletin
may excel all its predecessors by doing
a greater amount of good to a vastly
greater number of people AS we go
forth monthly into homes in every con-
t!nent preaching the gospel of soap
the emblem of cleanliness which is said
10 be next to godliness-our wish is that
many who are impairine their health
and exposing others to sickness may be
led to see the error of their WAYS and
by repentance and sanitary efforts be-
led to such living as will not only be a
blessing to themselves. but to all about
them"

In that event. there is no doubt the

cry township In the county and both
sides have been represented by shrewd
politicians from various parts of the
state. Tom Way, of Britt and Senator
Berry are leading the Cummins forces,
while several men representing the
Blythe Hubbard machine are urging the
Conger fight. The county has been
flooded with circulars and in one in

Hull candidacy of next year has been
brought into the fight but the anti-Hull
men are divided on tine gubernatorial
question ard they can't agree as to
whether or not victory for Cummins
means victory for Hull next year MIR.
Cummins has been on the ground for a
few days and is still in the county. He
is greatly encouraged as to the out
look. Hundreds of people called at his
rooms in the Todhunter hotel to con-
graduate the next governor of Iowa.
The 1ndianola Herald. Representative
Anderson's paper, which has heretofore
been non n-committal came out Thursday

Cummins men are making the fight of
their lives for their candidate and
should they win today's election, which
they will in all probability, it Will be
