This information May Be Of Value to
MANY a Mother in MarshaIItoWn.

When there is added to the many
cares inseparable from the rearing of
children that affiiction of weakness of
the kidneys and auxiliary organs. the
mothers lot is far from happy one.
This condition can be quickly changed
and absolutely cured by the use of
Doans Kidney Pills. When this is
known the mothers burden will be
lighter and her home happier.
Mrs. Beck, of los West Nevada street.
saws: 1--WE have great reason to value
Doan's Kidney Pills. Our little boy had
for some time been troubled with weak
ness of the muscles controlling the ac-
ton of the bladder and it caused us
great deal of anxiety because of the
failure of any treatment we tried to
correct the trouble. The flow of the
kidney secretlons was excessive. in the
extreme, especially at night Mr.. Beck
learned of Doan's Kidney Pills and pro-
cured them at Mcbride & Wills drug
store. j gave the little one one pill each
night. The result was very satisfactory
and has given us much comfort and
joy. The muscles spoken of were
strengthened by the use of one box Of
this wonderful medicine. He has ex-
pressed to me his gratitude for the
great help he received from the use of
this greatly valued remedy"

In order to furnish a basis for COM
parison of the volume of the commerce
of the various countries the bureau OF
statistics gives the average monthly MI
ports and exports during the part OF the
fiscal years covered in the statement 1or
each of the thirty countries in question:.
An examination of the full list oil
countries shows that in two-thirds OF the
rumber the imports exceed the exports,
and that in one-third of the number the
exports are greater than the imports.
The countries which show an excess OF
exports over imports are: Argentina,
Austria Hungary, Brazil, Chill, British
India, Mexico, Roumania, European
Russia, the United States and Uruguay.
The countries showing an excess OF i'm
ports over exports are: Belgium, can

port, that if this government should

that its passenger and fast-freight traf-

of it's mails, might go TO the steamship
company that would submit the mos,

A PERSONAL TRIUMPH FOR
CUMMINS.
VALLEY Express

VALLEY EXpress.l
As the campaign in Iowa comes to a
close no doubt as to the result OF the
ballcting mars the vision of republican
success and the splendid triumph at the
polls for its candidates. Particularly
pleasing are the enthusiastic receptions
given to A. b. Cummins, the republican
candidate for governor, who has con-
Quoted a marvellous campaign. and by
his personality insures the party ticket
Is 900 more votes than is usually rolled
up in an ordinary "off-year'' campaign
in Iowa. His popularity has increased
rapidly since the Cedar Rapids conven-
ton. and today no candidate of the par
ty has ever had more united and en-
thusiastic party behind him than has
Mr.. Cunsmins.
Considering the character of the ener-
getic campaign in which he and his
friends engaged to secure the nominal
ton and his overwhelming victory at
Cedar Rapids, it was thought that the
apparent division in the party would
cut down his majority materially, but
the opposite seems to be the result. Mr.
Cummins has Impressed the people of
the state, and particularly his own party
membership, as courageous man. one
of honesty of purpose and integrity OF
character, man of culture and refine
ment and of commanding ability as a
public man. Many who at first opposed
him had never met the man, and when
they heard him speak and met him per-
sonally were convinced of the wisdom OF
the party's choice. His discussions upon
the stump are marvels of frankness, and
he presents his thoughts in such COM
prehensive manner, and with such gra-
cious consideration fer those who hon
estly disagree with him, as to win the
respect and consideration of all.
Few men have attained this high de-
gree of enthusiastic support in the face
of more difficulties and seemingly in
eurmountable obstacles than those
which have confronted Mr.. Cummins in
the past ten years. Misrepresentation
of the character of the man long with
ED from him the loyal support of many
we'll meaning but prejudiced members of
the party who are now free to accord
him enthusiastic and loyal support.
Contrary to predictions freely made at
the time of the convention, his election
Is not in doubt; in fact, 1t never was
from the moment OF his nomination, and
his election on Tuesday next will come
ms the greatest personal triumph ever
accorded man in the political arena of
iowa
And he will make a governor of whom
the people of Iowa will be proud: one
COR whom apologies Will not be necessa
nv His eminent capabilities and ster-
ling integrity will reflect the wisdom OF
the party. Dave Henderson has we'll
said that "Al' Cummins will set a new
aattern for future executives and most
i BILE men will then be necessary if they
succeed in equalling his record as gov
ernor.

Bowers was in the apartment, in bed, he
testified.

Witness Travers said ne recognized
Mrs. Bowers because he had seen her in

she was fined 81 for striking her maid.
On this testimony Referee Jacobs rec
commended that a decree be granted, and
Justice McAdam granted it.
