STIRRED BY CONVENTION CALI
Material From Which TO Make a

ton To the point of adding several
names TO the list of possible conven
ton candidates. Among those who
are formally announced or are re
garded as candidates are:
w. c. MAUCKER, Rock Island.
{. Il. MARSHALL. Rock Island.
JOHN SCHAFER, Port Byron.
w. II. MOORE, Moline.
II. y. FENDER. Rock Island.
:. Il. KENWORTHY. Rock Island

&. +. McNABNEY, Hampton.
j. q. BRITTON. Andalusia.
First In New District.
1t will be the first nominal ton of a
democrat in the new senatorial dis

ty is expected to select n
man who will be a credit alike to the
democracy and the district. Where
there is such an abundance of excel
lent material no difficulty should be
met on this score.

Suicide Of Head Waiter Complexities
Prominent Cincinnati Woman.

Cincinnati, o., Sept. 5.-There were
sensational developments yesterday in
connection with the suicide last Tues
day night of George Conrad, head watt
er Of the Gibson House. His wife, on
apprehending letters from the wife of a
prominent business man to Conrad, was
suing him for divorce and wealthy
society woman for damages on account
of the alienation of affections. The at
torneys OF Mrs. Conrad appealed to
the postal authorities, and among the
letters from Conrad to the woman of
whom he was enamored there was
found one in which Conrad outlined his
plan ITO convey his wife to the middle
OF the Ohio river, upset the skiff as tho
by accident, swim ashore himself and
leave Mrs. Conrad to drown" When
Conrad was confronted by his wife and
attorneys with this letter and knew
he would be prosecuted criminally. he
had hurried interview with the wom-
an for whom he had deserted his wife
and then killed himself. Mrs. Conrad
says he repeatedly invited her to take
boat rides. but she had been fore
warned. The complication Of a WELL
known woman here in the damage suit
of Mrs Conrad has caused a great SEN
sation.

A good reputation is not easily
earned, and 1t was only by hard. con-
sistent work among our citizens that
Doan's Kidney Pills won their way to
the proud distinction attained In this
locality The public endorsement of
scores of Marshalltown residents has
rendered invaluable service to the
community. Read what this citizen
says:
Mr.. j. H. Brace. of COZ South Third
street, says, "Doan's kidney pills in my
case proved the best remedy for kidney
ailments l ever used, and have used
many and used them faithfully. l had
much trouble from my kidneys and
bladder. There were severe pains in my
back the kidney secretions were highly
scolored and singing sensation of
scalding accompanied them. also had
a feeling of great exhaustion and be-
came tired at the least exertion. A
friend knowing the symptoms had and
my utter inability to obtain a cure gave
me a rorticn of box of Doans Kid
ney pills. The use of these gave con-
elusive evidence as to their value. Five

they are wonderfully valuable rem

SOLDIERS MENTAL COLLAPSE
Capt. J. e. Maxwell Insane from Priva

Washington, Sept. 5.-An example of
the mental havoc wrought by extreme
exposure and privation is furnished by
the case of Capt. Joseph Z. Maxwell, Of
the signal corps. who for about six
months. has been in charge of the arr
my's signal work in Alaska.
In the early spring Capt. Maxfield
left Valdez and Travelled 800 miles to the
north for the purpose of looking over
the ground and outlining the work to be
performed by the signal corps during
the summer.
Then. with but a single Indian guide
for companion, the captain started
bacl, by boat. He endured terrible pri-
vations and suffering before he finally
arrived.
A few days ago the war department
received telegram stating that Capt.
Manifold was suffering with a halluci-
nation that there was a conspiracy di-
rected against his life, and it was sug-
gested that the officer should be return,

board and had been allowed to do busi-
ness in the state.
