is Opposed to Mr.. Cummins.
Z Des Moines, May mr.. Cummins,
In his frantic speech to the county
convention here Saturday, declared in
effect if not in literal words, that ev-
cry man who is not supporting him is
basely selling himself to N. M. Hub
bard and j. w. Blythe as representing
railway influences and personifying
all that is bad in Iowa politics. This
lis in harmony with Mr.. Cummins' gen.
eral policy, which is declaration to
the effect that Iowa politics as now
represented by Senators Allison and
Dolliver, Speaker Henderson, Con-
gressmen Hull, Lacey, Hepburn and
all the others, is rotten to the core and
needs general turning over so that
Iowa may be more credtably repre-
scented and may not need, as he init
mates Iowa needs now, to hang her
head in shame because of the men who

The causes of summer catarrh are
first, chronic catarrh; second, derange-
ments Of the stomach and liver; third,
impure blood.
Such being the case anyone who
knows anything whatever about the
operations of Peruna can understand
why this remedy is a permanent cure
for summer catarrh. 1t eradicates
chronic catarrh from the system, invig-
crates the stomach and liver, cleanses
the blood Of all impurities, and there
fore permanently cures by removing the
cause,-a host of maladies peculiar to
hot weather. The cause being removed
the symptoms disappear Of themselves.
