Safeguard the Children.

Notwithstanding all that is
done by boards of health and
charitably inclined persons, the
death rate among small children
is very high during the hot
weather of the summer months
in the large cities. There is not
probably one case Of bowel COM
plant in a hundred, however,
that could not be cured by the
timely use of Chamberlain's
collie, cholera and diarrhoea
remedy. Mr.. Frank Riggs, of
Franklinville, N. Y, in speak
ing of this remedy said: II have
found it expedient to have a
supply of Chamberlain's collie,
cholera and diarrhoea remedy
on hand. 1t has been a family
safeguard and while especially
beneficial to children, it is
equally good in adult cases. |

Providence and the Coal Trust.


Detroit Free Press: Accord
ing to Mr.. Baer and Mr.. Trues-
dale, the sympathetic heads of
this unorganized organization,
the price was dropped so cents
per ton in April by accident,
not design. 1t was advanced 10
cents per ton on May / by
chance, not by agreement. On
June / it went up 10 cents more
by coincidence, not by collision.
On July l it will go up a total
of 80 cents, and each one-third
of the advance will be the result
of a peculiar view that a bene-
ficent Providence takes of the
prices of anthracite coal. That
the price in September will be
exactly what in March it was
predicted the price would be
will be only avindication of the
belief of the coal presidents
that uncomfortable circumstan-
ces dictate the conduct of coal
prices and make them regular,
uniform and high.

A Good Thing

German Syrup is the special prescrip-
ton of DR. A Boschee, a celebrated Ger
man physician, and is acknowledged
to tie one of the most fortunate discov-
cries in medicine. 1t quickly cures
coughs, colds and all lung troubles Of
the severest nature, removing, as it
does, the cause of the affection and
leaving the parts in strong and
healthy condition. It is not an exper
mental medicine, but has stood the
test of years, giving satisfaction in
every case. which its rapidly increasing
sale every season confirms. Two mill
ion bottles sold annually. Boschee's
German Syrup was introduced in the
United States in 1863 and is now sold
in every town and village in the civil
lied world. Three doses will relieve
any ordinary cough. Price IS cents.

The Dunlap Congregational

ceremony last Sunday which
perhaps no other church in Iowa
has had the privilege of doing.
Not that the ceremony was so
remarkable, but the circum-

The water used by Rev. Kent
on this occasion was personally

Nerve

1t requires nerve for any man
to stand up before the Ameri-
can people, and, in the light of
present conditions, to say what
Jo- Cannon said, at Chicago, be-
fore the Republican National
Convention, as follows:
"More than one-third of all
the manufactured products of
the whole earth is produced by
American labor, which works
shorter hours than any people
on earth, and has more steady
employment than any people on
earth, and on the average, con-
servatively stated, one and thre-
fourths dollars compensation
where similar labor elsewhere
receives but one dollar
Such statement, in the face of
existing facts, when labor is de-
Imoralized when men who toll
for bread to feed his dear ones
are feeling depressed at the
the outlook. when the dinner
pail is empty, when the high
WAYS are crowded with honest
men looking for work, the fac
tories closed, work shops empty
thousands Of men from railroad
shops discharged, wages re-
duced to starvation price, with
no brighter outlook for the near
future. When q man can see
so much prosperity at this time
we fear he is like the OK of an
early day when emegrants used
to start west before grass was
up, and to deceive the cattle,
they put green glasses on them
so as to make everything look
green, thus supplying them with
sage brush instead of grass, but
the people have learned that to
have green grass requires more
than green goggles, and to fill
the dinner pail, more than loud
promises.

RURAL CARRIERS GET A
RAISE.
An Increase In Pay Of $l2O a
Year Be&inS Today.


An increase Of S120 a year in
the maximum salary paid to
the rural free delivery carriers
employed by Uncle Sam goes
into effect today, the new sal
airy law enacted by the last
session of congress applying to
the free rural service now on.
Instead of $500 as the maxi
mum salary $720 will be paid
to the carriers who serve 100
or more families and who have
to drive twenty-four miles.
The carriers of the first class,
however, had formerly to drive
but twenty miles. A route of
twenty miles will now pay $648,
routes of fourteen to sixteen
will pay $40, while routes
eight to ten miles will be worth
1892 to the carrier. Under the
old ruling routes under twenty
miles and over sixteen miles
carried with them salaries of
$500, while the others below
them paid $500, $500 and 5000
respectively.

A joke has been given out on
some of our masculine warb-
lers. 1t appears that the boys
drove to Logan one evening
last week and proceeded to give
one of their justly celebrated
vocal serenades. Evidently they
struck the wrong key, as the
well-meant effort was resented.
The duly authorized peace pre-
server Of the village waited up
on the boys and told them the
noise would have to be stopped
or he would "jug" the crowd.
They stopped and silently
drove home in the moonlight

Prior to this ceremony, how
ever, the pastor stated that M t.

TO make this ceremony more
impressive to those who We're

a memento from Jerusalem, in
the form of a paper weight,
which he had purchased in the
old city. This souvenir, about
three inches in diameter, is
made from olive wood and has
a piece of the bark attached to
one side, the other being highly
polished. On the flat side is

UNITE On CLEVELAND
Leaders In Four States Organize

German, Mclean and Guffcy
Offer Esim Support.
They Say Ex.Pres!dent is Only
Man to Beat Roosevelt
After Test on Parker They May
Ask Delegates to Join Them.
Nomination ST Former Standard
Bearer Seems Possible.

Chicago Chronicle:
Washington, June 28.-Gro-
yer Cleveland presidential stock
is soaring high, following con-
ference held at the residence of
John R. Mclean, at which, Le-
sides Mr.. Mclean, there were
present Colonel James M. Cuff
fey of Pennsylvania, Senator
German of Maryland and for
mer Senator Smith of New
Jersey. The conclusion reached
at the conference was that Mr..
Cleveland is the only man who
can beat Roosevelt. The indi-
cations are that the former
president will receive the sup
port of the conferees at St.
Louis next week.
Mr.. Mclean voiced the SEN
timents of the conferees when
he said: "Cleveland is the big
gest man in the democratic;
party, and if nominated he will
be elected"
This view is taken by demo-
Gratis generally in Washington.
Neither Mclean, Guffey or
German has any particular OBJ
lection to Judge Parker as a
candidate. They regard him
as a good man, but they fear
the unpopularity of David B.
Hill, Parker's chief hacker,
would prevent Parker from
carrying New York and other
states that are necessary to in
sure victory.
Mr.. Smith has been a Cleve-
land man all along. He can
bring New Jersey into line for
the ex-president, while Messrs.
Guffey, German and Mclean
can transfer the delegations
from Pennsylvania, Maryland
and Ohio into the Cleveland
column.
PARKER STRENGTH FOR CLEVE-
LAND.
1t is expected that if Parker
finds he cannot be nominated
much of his strength will go to
Cleveland, and as Tammany
has a we'll known preference
for the former president the
belief prevails that he would
undoubtedly carry New York
state. The statement made by
Judge Gray in favor of Cleve-
land indicates that he would
transfer Deleware's votes to
him and it is believed Massa-
chusetts, though instructed fol

l)ally CdplCal.
The Chicago Great Western,
because of the rapid expansion
of it's system, has decided
against the policy o. centraliza-
ton of it's shops. When the
system comprised a line from
Chicago to OelWein, with a
branch to Kansas City and an
other to st. Paul, it was
thought that one big shop at
Oelwein would answer the pur-
pose of the entire system.
With the building of the Oma-
ha line and the acquiring of
large additional mileage in
Minnesota, and the decision to
build to Sioux City, it has been
decided that to enlarge the
Shop at Oelwein to meet the
demands of the entire system
would make it unwieldy and in
volve great expense in trans
portation of equipment needing
repairs to and from OelWein.
1t has been decided to main
tain the shops at Oelwein as
they now are for the principal
shops of the system and to give
them over to the more import
ant repair work and to con-
struction. The major portion
of the repair work of the sys-
tenn, however, is to be done at
other points on the system and
the probabilities are that at
least three shops will be CON
stlucted in another year for
this work. The probabilities
are that one Of these will be
located in Des Moines and an
other at Clarion or Somers,
Iowa, the first to take care of
repair work on the st. Joseph
division and the other to take
care Of repair work on the
Omaha and Sioux City lines.
Another shop will be located
either in Hayfield or Red Wing
to take care of the business of
Minnesota lines. The shops
will not be extensive affairs.
The probabilities are that the
equipment at first will be only
for lighter repair work and
that not to exceed fifty to sew
enty men will be employed in a
shop, but it is expected to make
them the nucleus for consider
able shops in the future.

The Logan Observer says
"Of all fakes in the land the lit
tie circus is the best. Logan
had one and the people here and
from the surrounding country
know. Not only was the show
a fake, but they carried with
them the most active and ag-
gressive gamblers that struck
the town in a long time. The
old shell game was run to a fin
ish, and came near finishing the
summers earnings of some of
the young men, and we are told
old men too, bit on the old ches-
nut. 1t does not seem to do
any good to arnpeople against
betting on another mans game
for they will do it, always with
the same disastrous results
We have heard of over one hum
d red dollars dropped in that
game last Friday. When the
officers went up to arrest the
man who had been operating
the game hecould not be found. "

such action as to them may seem
proper. If a man is nominated
who can unite the party, north,
south, cast and west, the cham
&C for his election is good, but
if scism, discord, and radicalism
prevails, then the election. so
far as democracy is concerned,
may just as we'll be declared off,
and the election of Roosevelt be
made unanimous.
AS it stands, providing har-
|mony prevails in the democratic
party, and a good, clean man is
nominated, the chances for his
election is possible, intact prob
able.
On calculating his chances,
the following results may be re-
sonably counted. The electoral
college, will be 476, and a ma
jority necessary for a choice is
.239. 1t is probable that the SOL
ia south with her ISL votes will
be democratic; then with New
York's 80 votes, { always demo-
cratic when united), added to
the ISL, would only lack 40 to
give us the majority. The on
ly question is: can the democra-
cy hope to secure the 40 votes?
New Jersey, Connecticut and
Indiana, generally goes with
New York, and Maryland is a
democratic state when free of
internal strife. Then we have
a fighting chance for Nevada,
Colorado, California, Idaho, and
Montana, and Wisconsin, but if
the democrats carry the South,
with New York, New Jersey,
Connecticut, with Indiana, or a
majority of the states named,
the election is assured. Then
there is little doubt of the sue
cess of democracy in Wisconsin
and Minnesota. Our republican
friends learned a valuable less
on from Zach Chandler, who on
a memorable occasin, said to his
political friends: Claim every
thing" Hayes, with 25O,935
votes less than Tilden, under
Old Zach Chambers advice was
declared elected. Tilden had a
clear majority over all of 49,
1887 votes.
BY the above it can be seen
at a glance that the result Of
the approaching Presidential
election is not a foregon conclu-
sion, but depends largely upon
the action of the st. Louis Con-
vention on July 9Th 1904.
Living in Iowa where a NOM
nation is equal to an election,
if the candidate is called repub-
lican, we are too apt to feel that
an election is merely a form,
but we must not forget that the
democratic party was never de-
feated in a presidential election
when they were unitnd, nor will
it ever be; the people are dem
ocratic this is a democratic
government, and with a good,
able, honest candidate, on a
short, honest platform, victory
lis as cerjand to come to the
democratic party next Novem-
her as that the sun will shine.

The bill prohibiting the dock

has received favorable action
by the senate committee on

turned the bill down once after
listening to voluminous argu-

been recommended for passage
is modified from it's original
form, so that instead of prohib-
iting the Importation of locked

provides that the act of dock

cease on penalty.
