iowa Falls, June 2O.-A most sur
prising demand for children was shown
here Yesterday when thirty-two or
phans were taken into Hardin county
homes in less than three hours. The
mere announcement in the local press
that number of homeless children
would be placed in good homes in this
vicinity brought people here from every
Fart of the county and it is estimated
that no less than 500 persons called at
the Woods house interested in securing
G child for their home. Before noon the
thirty two boys and girls had been TAX
en- TO homes in Hardin and will make
their future homes in various parts OF
the county. Long after the last child
had been placed, people arrived in the
city seeking an opportunity to secure a
child for their home. The chldren's
ages ranged from seven to fourteen
years and were of various nationalities.
The children are placed by a society
that is given assurance that the child
rem will be given the best of treatment
and education. The places in this ooun-
ty to which the children went are Ell
dora, Alden, Hampton, Radcliffe, Hub
bard and Cottage, a number being taken
by parties in this city and vicinity.

A FRACTIONAL FIGHT.
Old Political Feud Bricks Out Anew in
Hamilton County.

Special to es-Republican.
Webster City, June 20.-The canvas
sing board met yesterday afternoon and
canvassed the returns of the republic
can primary election. The result an
nounced last night gives j. M. Blake of
Jewell, the nomination for county at
torney by a popular majority of one
vote over his competitor John D. Por-
ter. This result is final.
The result of the election has alter
mated day by day almost between the
two men. The first report gave it to
Blake by eleven majority. A Slight mis-
take discovered later gave it to Porter
by a majority of one. Another mistake
caused Porter's majority to grow to
four and last night the final count by
the canvassing board gives it to Mr..
Blake by a bare margin of one vote.
A strenuous fight between Hamilton
county's old time republican factions
has broken out anew. The old COM
bine is dead but kicking vigorously. An
example of the old time hatred came to
the surface yesterday at the canvassing
boards session. This board is hold
over from the old regime. In going over
the returns it was found that the cleo
ton board in Webster township had
failed to certify to the nomination of
John Waters as precinct committee
man. 1t develops that Waters had but
two majority. He belongs to the KAN
rar-Mellen faction The chairman of
the precinct board is a Weston Chase

THREE BEAUTIFUL WOMEN

Their Health And Beauty

few doses always make me feel Ike q ]
different woman. "---FI0rence Allan. !
Thousands of women suffer from sys-
temic catarrh. This is sure to produce
such symptoms as cold feet and hands,
sick headache, palpitation Of the heart !
and heavy feelings in the stomach.
Then begins series of experiments. \
They take medicine for sick headache.
They take medicine for nervous prostra-
ton, for palpitation Of the heart, for
dyspepsia. None of these medicines do
any good because they do not reach the
cause of the complaint.
Peruna at once mitigates all these
symptoms by removing the cause.
Systemic catarrh is the trouble. Sys-
temic catarrh pervades the whole sys-
tenn, deranges every organ, weakens
every function. No permanent cure can
be expected until the systemic catarrh
is removed.
This is exactly what Peruna will do.

Peruna is especially adapted to pro-

monial of Miss Cullen indicates.
Miss Blanche Myers, 3120 Penn street,
