are most remarkable remedy
for the relief of periodic pains,
backache, nervous or sick head

ing aches and pains that cause
women so much suffering.
AS pain is weakening, and

dication of an attack.
If taken as directed you may
have entire confidence in their
effectiveness, as well as in the
fact that they will leave no dis
agreeable after-effects.
They contain no morphine,
opium, choral, cocaine or other
dangerous drugs.

HAPPENINGS
ATTEMPTED BANK ROBBERY IN
SHERWOOD MADE A WILD
TIME.
SHOTS ARE EXCHANGED
Villagers Awakened by the Explosions
Rushed Out and Were Met With
Fusilade Of Revolver Shots.
Secured No Booty.

Seven yeggmen, believed to be the
same gang that robbed the bank at
White Cloud several nights ago, ex-
ploded three charges of dynamite in
the safe of the Sherwood Exchange
bank between and 3 o'clock Sunday
morning without reaching $4,000 which
ii contained.
The explosions aroused the town and
hundreds of men, many of them half
clad, rushed to the scene. They were
met by volleys of shots from revolvers
in the hands of the yeggmen. The rob-
bers escaped, probably on a freight
train that passed at 1920.
The villagers, with the exception of
Former Sheriff Frank Swain, were un-
armed and beat hasty retreats. Swain
got his shot gun and the few shells he
had, boldly took a stand across the
street from the bank and blazed away
through the windows in the direction
which he knew the safe to be.
The yeggmen rushed to the front OF
the store and, crouching, sent volley
of bullets that whiZzed about his head.
His ammunition was soon gone and he,
too, fled. 1t is not thought he wounded
any of them.
Before entering the bank, the yegg-
men bound up a night employe of a
livery stable, the only man up in the
town, and later detained a man who
drove into the stable. They entered the
hand car house of the railroad and
stole the tools necessary to break in
the door and start their operations on
the safe.
This morning the private box of the
III esident of the bank was found at the
rear of the bank. Valuable papers were
scattered around. Opening small
compartment of the box he found that
the 'yeggs" in their haste had over
locked $92 in cash.
No trace has been secured of the
robbers, Deputy Sheriff Buckley, Of Bat
tic Creek, came here Sunday morn
ing with his bloodhounds, but owing
tc the fact that many people had Wis
tied the scene of the crime, the dogs
could not get the trail.

Maxine SUGAR.

The Saginaw Valley Sugar Co. start

INFAMOUS Johnston letter is to be found
IN the fact that certain members of tho
Iowa delegation urged that the contests
before the state convention be settled
fairly, on their merits and i'm accordance
with the very evident wishes of the ma
Jority of the people in the counties repre-
sented. Mr.. Johnston says the contest
turned upon Scott county. 1t did not un-
less such contests as those In Audubon.
Carroll, Delaware and others of like
character were decided in favor of Per-
kins. One might with equal honesty say
that the contest turned on Audubon or
Delaware Be this as it may. however. it
is a further fact that at this time tho

contest was rightly decided.
The Review does not intend to go into
the merits of the contest for governor.

few remarks about our state cam

Government and Railways.
81 find the doctrine of strict govern
ment control of railways stated In Cen
eral Grants messages to congress, and
emphasized more than once by Presi-
dent Arthur during his brief administra-
ton. But If any ineligible statement of
what ought to have been done Is hidden
in the literature of Mr.. Bryans candid
acy, I have failed to find it among the
dead or the wounded either of the first
or of the second battle.
at was republican committee OF the
senate which framed the interstate COM
merce law of twenty years ago, and a
republican congress which has made ev-
cry amendment to it, including those far
reaching regulations for the safety and
health of railway employees. While
cheerfully recognize the help which we
had from men of all parties in both
houses of congress in the enactment OF
the law of 1906, yet the claim set up by
Mr. Bryan that President Roosevelt was
doing business on capital borrowed from
the democratic party Is little short OF
ridiculous. Everybody knows what capt.
tai the democratic party has had since
the first election of Mr. Cleveland, and 1t
will require more than few opening re-
marks to identify the railway rate legis-
lation OF the present congress with any
of it's wasted and half forgotten assets.
At any rate, Mr.. Bryan may console
himself with the reflection that his name
is likely TO be identified in the immediate
future with a UNIVERSAL railroad scheme
which neither the republican party nor
his own Is ever likely to take away from
him."
Senator Deliver commented at consld-
cradle length upon the new railroad Leg
