PERKINS CARRIES CITY
CAUCUSES IN MUScATiNE
CONTINUED from Page y.

night and went almost unanimously
anti Cummins. The standpatters had
absolute control in every ward and
solid anti-Cummins delegations were
selected for the county convention,
which meets next Saturday.
The Cummins men were very active
here yesterday and many of the promi-
nent state workers were in Muscatine
in the hopes Of carrying the city for
Cummins, but the feeling was too
Down. The standpat sentiment In the
city is very strong, and the delegation
that will be selected at the convention
next Saturday will go uninstructed,
but will be against Mr.. Cummins. Per-
kins, Rathbun and other candidates
have many friends.
Victory an Important One.
The victory in Muscatine county for
the standpatters is Of great impor-
lance. 1t means that the Second dis
trict which five years ago was for
Cummins, will be against him. John
son, Iowa and Muscatine counties are
against him. Jackson county is d.
vided, and there is division of dele
gates in Clinton county. Scott county
has not held its convention.
The Second district being controlled
by the anti Cummins men means that
six districts in the state are with the
standpatters, and gives them control
of the permanent organization of the
convention.
When the Cummins men realized
that the key to the situation was this
county, heroic steps were taken to cap
ture and place it in the Cummins col
umn. Five years ago this county was
for Cummins, and the change in senti-
ment came as a great surprise.
Commissioner Brigham There.
State Labor Commissioner Brigham
was rushed to the city and began eau
cusing with republicans and then dem
ocrats. Senator Smith of Usage was
in the county and many other workers
were to be found here.
The work was not effective, and the
first crushing defeat came last Satur-
day night when the county caucuses
were almost unit against the So
called progressive" idea. !.
This blow was severe one and the
Cummins men never recovered.
At the caucus last night, where
fights we're expected, all was harmony
With the exception of momentary dis
agreement in two Of the wards, the
delegates were selected without trou-
BILE. The ease with which the anti Cum
minis delegates were selected was a
surprise even to themselves. In all
the wards there was not enough Cum.
minis sentiment to make itself felt.
An Anti-Cummins Walkover.
The whole thing was a walk-over. In
one ward where a fight was expected
the committeeman being Cummins
man, the standpatters had absolute
control and were magnanimous enough
to place him on the delegation because
he had no following whatever in the
caucus. AS the entire county is anti
Cummins, the convention Saturday will
be love feast instead of political
fight. Muscatine county is solidly re
/ publican.
At the convention Saturday a strong
congressional delegation will be elect
ed, who will favor the return of Albert
F. Dawson, of this district to congress
and will favor his denomination.
The senatorial matter is not clear as
yet and candidates for that Office may
appear in the course Of the next few
/ days.

Verdict for DR.. Pierce
AGAINST THE
Ladies Home Journal.

Sending truth after lie. It is an old
maxim that "a lie will travel seven
leagues while truth is getting its boots
on" and no doubt hundreds of thousands
of good people read the unwarranted and
malicious attack upon DR.. R. V. Pierce
and his Favorite Prescription published
in the May 1904 number Of the Ladies'
Home journal, with its great black dis
play headings, who never saw the hum
bic, groveling retraction. with its incon-
spicuous heading, published two months
later. 1t was boldly charged in the sland-
erous and libelous article that DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription, for the cure of
woman's weaknesses and ailments, con-
tanned alcohol and other harmful ingredi-
ents. DR.. Pierce promptly brought suit
against the publishers of the Ladies'
Home Journal, for 5000, 10000 damages.
DR.. Pierce alleged that Mr.. Box, the
editor, maliciously published the article
containing such false and defamatory
matter witty the intent Of injuring his
nesSyfurthermore, that no alcohol, or
other Injurious. or habit-forming, drugs
are, or Hyer were, contained in his IA

These facts were also proven in the TRIAL q

business of DR.. Pierce was greatly injured by

its great display headings. while hundreds of
thousands who read the wickedly defamatory
article never saw the humble groveling re-
traction, set in small type and made as incOn-
spicuous possible. The matter was, how

kept slipping off. Coming to a little
stream, he drove into it and got one
little section of the wheel wet; then

the President descended from the
bridge, his face wreathed in smiles, and
enthusiastically throwing his arms
around the shoulders of a group of Sen

ANY man who fails to be patriOtical-

a mighty poor American, and every

are certain to perform it, not merely
with efficiency and courage. but with

Bad. Bad Kitty.

The scientists make out a good case
against the house cat, who, with all her
charming and lovable qualities, is
shown to be an agent of disease, and
a wholesale destroyer of bird life. DR..
Caroline A. Osborne, who has been con-
Quoting experiments at Clark Univer-
sity, has found that cats have diph-
iberia, whoOping cough, tuberculosis,
eczema and ring-worm. Even when
cats do not actually contract these
maladies they may carry the contagion
about with them As nimrodS they
are responsible for the death of about
fifty birds a year, according to E. H.

sachusetts, not including the suffering
they infiict by their mangling of birds,
