CATION and other Iowa officials in
Washington, since the publication OF
the alleged purpose of the President,
in a local morning paper.
AS has been intimated in previous
dispatches there is diversity of
opinion in the premises. 1t is stated
by man well informed and occupying
a high position-an Iowa man-that
he understands certain representa-
lions have been made to the President
by Special Agent Rockhill (who was
sent to China Immediately following
the terrific siege of the boxers, to
carry on negotiations incident to the
closing up of the peace terms, and
who represented this government in
that transaction) which have not
been particularly to the advantage OF
Minister Conger. OF course this is
not to be taken as statement that
Mr.. Rockhill has made these state
ments, but the Iowa man referred to is
of the opinion that this is the case.
This view of the matter is shared in
by a certain Iowa congressman who
Immediately, when the question was
brought to their attention, said they
thought there was something in the
report.
An Iowa SENATOR while not under
taking to give the present status OF the
matter, says that couple of months
or so ago he brought the matter to
the notice of the President, as result
of newspaper paragraph intimating
that Minister Conger might be recall
ed. and asked the President in terms
if there was anything in this story.
The President said he did not propose
to ask for the resignation of Mr.. Con-
ger
OF course this may mean several
things 1t may mean that the Presi-
dent is entirely satisfied with Major
Conger and that he desires that he
should continue to represent
the United States in China or
it may mean that he will not actually
go to the extremity of making de-
mand for Mr.. Conger's resignation, at
the same time desiring it, and working
events to the end that the resignation
will ultimately be voluntarily tender
ed. In fact, one Iowa congressman in,
forms your correspondent that he un
lderstands that Minister Conger has
personally given expression to the
wish that he might be relieved. Wheth
| er this is the result of knowledge on
the part of Mr.. Conger that the Presi-
dent would prefer to place the affairs
of this government in China in other
hands, or not, of course, cannot be
learned at this time. 1t is stated by
the official who takes the view that
there is some foundation for the re
port, that he understands that the
President is not altogether satisfied
with the services of Minister Conger.

Mrs. Maria MESSENGER
of Mason, Iowa,
One of Mason's Most Skilled
Nurses, Writes:

81 have recommended DR.. David
kennedy's Favorite Remedy for many
OF the people under my care, and have
IN SO many instances proved it's Won
derful healing power that I have come
to have implicit faith i'm it's great eff
cacy.
One of these cases was of an old
woman in dreadful condition. She
had been sick for months. She suf-
fered from paralysis off one side, and
imperfect circulation. of the blood,
which together with. violent head
aches made her well nigh mad.
she had the best doctors but was
getting worse all the time SO the doc
tors moved her to my place. She suf.
fered dreadful agony and the doctors
had to give her so much morphine that
| it made her worse. When she was
brought to me the doctors said that
she could live but few days, as she
had had but one movement of the bow
els in 80 days. l had heard of her
case for some time and made up my
mind that if ever got the chance
would give her some of Dr. David
Kennedy's Favorite Remedy. She had
not been in my care ten minutes be
fore I gave her 10 drops of the Favor
lite Remedy and gradually increased to
the full dose. The doctor who had
charge of her case said it was the first
thing that had done her any good, so
advised that I continue it's use. To
make long story short she got well
and it is with pleasure that write you
this good news. Her hands had been
tight shut so that the nails dug into
her palms, and she had lost the use OF
one side almost entirely by paralysis
This, together with frightful headaches
from which she suffered, Is all gone
and she is well again. She can do her
work easily and goes around praising

Burlington Responsible for Min
listers Death.
BODY HURLED ONE HUNDRED FEET
Evidence Shows, in the Opinion of the
Coroner's Jury, That no Danger
Signal Was Sounded by Engine
Which Killed Rev. DunIavey.
From Wednesdays Dailv.1

[From Wednesdays Daily.l
The coroner's jury impanelled to in
quire into the manner of death of Rev.
D. S. Dunlavey, of Chillicothe, the
Methodist minister who was struck
and killed by a Burlington freight en-
CINE Sunday night, has rendered a ver-
dict finding that the Burlington rail.
road company is responsible for the
divine's death. The preponderence of
evidence in the opinion of the jury was
to the effect that no whistle was
sounded by the engineer, although he
and his fireman swear that such a
signal was given.
Evidence was introduced which
showed that Rev. Dunlavey's body was
hurled a distance of over 100 feet from
the crossing on which he was struck
One of the horses which he was driv
ing was thrown forty feet and partial
ly through a board fence. 1t was
shown that Rev. Dunlavey was riding
in a top buggy the side curtains OF
which would necessarily obstruct his
view up and down the track. The ev
idence verified the fact that very
| few minutes before he was struck 6
west bound engine whistled at Chilli
cothe. Neighbors say they heard this
warning but deny that the engineer o
the east bound train, the one which
killed the preacher, sounded any sig
nal.
After celebrating on the evidence
the jury, which was composed of j. w
Dunning, G. N. Butin and Daniel We
nator, found that "the deceased cam'
to his death by being struck by Bur
lington engine, for which the said Bur
lington railroad company is RESPONSE
Bile by neglecting to signal the cross
ing"
The hearing was had yesterday bu
Coroner Throne was not able to retur!
to his home in this city until today.
