ACCEPTS NOMINATION
w. r. Hearst Issues Letter to Demo-
Gratis Asserting Pride in Their
Confidence.

Hearst sent letter to w. J. Corners,
chairman of Democratic state conven-
ton accepting the nomination for gov
ernorship as follow:
81 accept the nomination of the Dem
ocratic party, bearing in mind the rec
ord of the great party in the past and
knowing that the membership of the
party is determined still to be ruled by
the principles of Jefferson and Jack
son for the best interests Of the whole
citizenship, rather than for the selfish
interests of any party, class or indi-
vidual seeking for special privileges.
1T cannot be denied that certain
individuals and classes have at times
secured control of the machinery Of
the Democratic party and attempted
to use 1t for their own personal or
class profit. The duty of true Demo
Gratis is to deprive O. all authority with
the party those who represent only
special interests and who seek to pro-
mote such interests at the expense of
the general welfare.
Traitors Driven Out.
"The Democratic convention at Buff
falo did this thing in most consplcu-
Gus and effective manner. Democrats,
so-called, but seeking after special pri-
vileges in reality, were driven over
into the Republican party, where those
of their class flourish.
"The line is now clearly drawn be-
tween special privileges on one hand
and equal opportunity on the other.
The Democratic party, purged in this
state of corporation control and
pledged to end the boss control
through which corporations act, now
has an opportunity to serve the people
as efficiently as it did in the times
of Jefferson and Jackson.
"To serve the people and the party
today as effectively as in the days Of
Jefferson and Jackson it is only nec-
essary to be sincerely Democratic and
loyal to Democratic principles.
"The attitude that the Democracy
should take toward great capitalistic
organizations is now precisely that Of
Jackson toward the United States bank
which appeared as a menace in his
day.
"The property rights of every man
and of every organization of any kind
must be respected, but today as in the
day of Jackson, it Is necessary 30 de-
clare that no power shall rise up great
er than the government or menacing

clare and they must mean that no
matter how great the wealth of indi.
viduals or corporations, that wealth
must not be an irresponsible dominat.

teaches that no medicine ever healed
d wound; that nature performs the
healing process and medicine can only
assist nature in doing her work, not
throwing Off diseases.
Those versed in medicine are aware
that three fourths of the money spent
for medicine is virtually thrown away,
either because of improper use or the
purchase of an improper article. But
IN purchasing LIQUID KOAL from
any of our dealers you take no chance.
If for any reason it does not treat
successfully the following list of dis.
eases just go back to the dealer and
get the price you paid, there will be
no questions asked. We stand the

Worms in Hogs


The hog Is more infected with in
testlnal worms than any other domes-
tic animal. The worms are created
by impure accumulations along the
intestinal track and generally pro-
duced by poorly digested food. The
nature of the hog and his manner of
eating renders HIM more susceptible
of intestinal worms than any other
animal. Under the present domestl-
Gated conditions he is not allowed the
use of his natural instincts to obtain
the necessary element that would de-
stroy these intestinal parasites. The
hog that is wormy can neither grow
nor thrive for the reason that the
worms destroy all the effects of the
nutrition furnished in the feed. LII
qnld Koal strengthens the appetite
and tones up the system.

A Power Press.

A queer looking article was
hauled up in a wagon before
the entrance to the Globe
Building yesterday, which for
a time was the observed of all
observers. 1t was evident to
every one that it was some sort
of a machine, but whether for
grinding corn, threshing wheat
or splitting shingles, various
and conflicting were the con-
lectures. Although quiet look
ing enough perched up in the
wagon, it was regarded with a
sort of suspicious uneasiness,
till a printer from the Herald
office, recognizing the appear
ance of the stranger, smiled a
welcome and approached it
with extended arm. Suspicion
was at once superseded by a
conviction that it had some re-
lation to the art of arts. And
so it has. 1t is a Power Press,
the first in the state of Iowa,
we believe, brought hither by
the proprietors of the Dubuque
Herald to keep pace with the
increase of job work in this
place, and to do it at such prices
as will enable every person to
help along his business, by cir
culating cards, circulars, ETC.,
among the people. This ma
chine will probably be in opera
ton in a few days, when the
public will be invited to crafty
their curiosity. Dubuque Daily

SALOON MEN SUBJECT T,
NEW PURE FOODL LAW
Adulterated Drinks Must Be
Labeled as Such or Liquor
Dealers Will Be SUBJ
iect to Prosecution

Though it is not generally
known as yet, the new Iowa
"pure food" law also includes
drinks, confectionery and condi-
ments. In fact the subject of
"pure drinks" is now causing
State Dairy and Food Commits
sioner Wright more trouble
than the other provisions OF
the new law. Nearly every
distiller and brewer in the
country is asking the Iowa COM
missioner to at once set a
standard for drinks under the
pure food law and pass on the
eligibility of their products.
Commissioner Wright now has
enough samples of WHISTLES on
hand to stock a good sized bar
room.
The cause of all this stir
among the liquor men was the
almost unnoticed provision in
section Z Of the new pure food
law which states 'the word
food as herein used, shall
also include all articles used
for food, drink, confection-
cry or continent, by man or
domestic animals, whether SIM
pie, mixed or compound" 1t
was entirely overlooked during
the discussion of the bill by the
legislature that it also made
the liquor business of the state
subject to 'spure" standards
which the dairy and food COM
missioner is authorized to es-
tablish.
Brewers and distilIers are
now becoming aware of the
fact, however, that they are
subject to heavy penalties if
they adulterate or misbrand
their products. Saloon-keepers
are also subject to fine for sell
ing adulterated and misbranded
Whistles, liquors and beers
bought after July /.
Commissioner Wright has
not decided yet whether he
will set a standard Of alcoholic
strength for Whistles and beers
The question is a new one and
he doesnot know whether the
new law contemplates any such
a step. The commissioner was
inclined to the opinion this
morning that he did not neec
to adopt any alcoholic standard

Hog Cholera

Is Tree germ disease, The gem being
ilrst 1ounu III the allmenLnry canal
ana Us long as 1t Is Confined IN that
organ 1t Is comparatively harmless.
When however IT penetrHtes to the
lungs, liver and other organs 1t causes
fermentation, inflammation and de-
stE4.'ion OF live tissues, furnishing
food upon which it thrlves and multi.
plies with wonderful rapldity, IN some
cases generation an hour, causing
death to the animal before the owner
has discovered that it was diseased.
Thus through reasoning, two facts
stand out clearly. First, that hcg
cholera can not be treated succ ~ !
unless treatment Is commenced before
he germ has reached the period of
rapld multiplication. Second, that q
sermlc'de must be administered, and
therein lies the whole secret. As we
pass down through the list of various
yermlcldes we are compelled one by
me To reject them, either because of
'.he,r lnt tlicacv or inadaptibillty, until
we reach LIQUID kOAL
Aud why choose LIQUID KOAL?
because it is the only known germi-
eide that will pass through the stom-
ach into the intestines and from there
into he bowels, permesting the entire
,ystrm. and still retain its germicide
prope ties.
Ii is q compound embracing every
pracLical germicide, antlceptic and
disinfectant property found in coal,
treated chemically, with an alkalin
base, until every Objectionable feature
is eliminated, being non.poisonous
and harmless to animal economy.
1t contains Creesol and Quiacol. 1t
8 these Hydro Carbon compounds
found IN smoke that cures ham, de-
stroying by its germicidol properties
all germ life.
The reader may ask If these prop
critics come from coal The answer is
because coal yields those properties
only by distillation at about $50 de-
gree of heat end 1t is reasonable to
assume that hogs stomach could
not generate that amount Of heat
without becoming roast pork, seasoned
with fired germs.
We would also call the readers at
tention to the fact that the gastric
Juice of the stomach being an acid, an
alkaline is required as neutralizer
when the acid too strongly predomi-
mates. AZ in the case of Hog Cholera.
In addition it would be expensive, as
the owner of the animal would be
purchasing six dollars worth of
LIQUID kOAL.

Something You Ought to

A parasite is an organism which,
during Its life, lives wlthln or on the
surface of an animal for the purpose
of existence, and from which it re-
ceives its nutrition and nourishment
The state or condition in which the
animal is kept either hastens OF re-
tards the multiplication OF them.
They are injurious in at least three
ways:
las direct agents of loss from an,
lmal economy.
2-As carriers of other forms of
parasites.
3 AS carriers of micro-organisms
of infectious diseases.
Use LIQUID lNOAI. to destroy the
parasite on the outside.
Use LIQUID kOAL to destroy the
parasite OH the inside.
LIQUID KOAL is a liquid soap and
will form perfect emulsion with
water
LIQUID KOAL is Endorsed Inv the
leading Veterinaries of the United
Stated and by many of the State Ag-
.ricultural Colleges and many of the

Exchange: When a sub
scriber is in arrears sometimes
a statement or bill or request
or "dun" is sent by mail.
Sometimes the recipient gets
mad and does things. An ex-
change says that a subscriber
once received a dun through
the postoffice, and it made him
mad. He went to see about it,
and the editor showed him a
few duns of his own one for
paper, one for type, one for
fuel and several others.
"Now," said the editor, 81
didn't get mad when these
came because | knew that all |
had to do was to ask several re-
liable gentlemen like you to
come and help me out, and
then could settle all of them"
When the subscriber saw how
it was, he relented, paid up and
renewed for another year. If
subscribers could see the enor-
NOUS bills for paper and print
ing and binding and postage
and pay-rolls they would not
worry about a dan for so cents
or a dollar. but they would be
glad to help out the editor.
The best receipt for not having
duns is to always pay your
subscriptions in advance.
