AN ELECTION BILL.
1t Forbids Corporations From Con
tributing to Campaign Funds.

The managers of both of the great
political parties are in a stew of an
EViety over the prospect that Congress
will enact law that will make it
practically impossible to get funds
with which to finance" political cam
paigns. Their bette noir is the Forax
er bill, which passed the Senate with
out a word of debate 1t was not
until the bill reached the House that
the politicians sat up and began to
take notice The bill is now in the
House Committee on Election D:
President, Vice President and men,
bcrs of Congress.
The Foraker bill is comprehens ive
in the extreme 1t peremptorily for
bids national banks and other cor
operations created by act of Congress
from contributing toward the success
or defeat of any candidate at any
election. Senator Foraker contends
that if Congress creates corpora
ton it certainly has right to con
troll It after it is created. But the bill
goes even farther 1t forbids all cor
porations, whether created by the
Nation or States, from contributing
to conipaign funds during a contest
for the presidency or for control OF
the House of Representatives. The
constitutional ground cited for this
provision is that section of the funda.
mental law of the land which gives
Congress the power to regulate and
supervise elections for President and
for congress. 1t imposes a penalty
for $4,000 fine upon any corporation
violating its provisions and an adj
ditional fine of 81 1000 upon any Off
Ger or director of any such corpora
ton who directs that cam caign con
tribution be given by the corporation
or has knowledge of such co1tribu-
ton.
Senator Foraker spent many weeks
preparing his bill and examined in de-
tail all of the constitutional aspects
Of the question All OF the lawyers
Of high standing who have examined
she bill pronounce it thoroughly legal
and constitutional. The political man
ayers say the passage of this bill
would be the hardest blow imaginable
TO them. Since the recent insurance
expose i'll New York the captains OF
industry everywhere are Tightening
their purse strings, and if the Foraker
bill becomes law corporations will
be SO securely protected from cam
paign assessments that they will find
it perfectly easy to defy the collect
ors.
notwithstanding the end OF Cong
ress IS so near at hand the opponents
of the Foraker bill will find difficulty
in suppressing it. The country is just
getting information of the fact that
such bill has passed the Senate and
good citizens everywhere are already
iaroused and demanding that it be Civ
en- consideration in the House. The
elan OF the opponents of the meas
i ure was to smother il in the House
committee This committee has a rep
dtation for doing as little as possible
| Representative Joseph Fl. Gaines OF
lWest Virginia is its chairman and
Binger Hermann of Oregon, who is
under indictment for FRAUD, is the
third member of the commit zee. The
Foraker proposition is regarded as
an eminently practical one that would
work easily and effect reform which
| yellow dog" fund scandals and bank
failures prove is necessary

The Peoples Drug Store has an
unusaI offer to make to our readers.
one that will be of the greatest value
TO many.
For some years The Peoples Drug
Store has been watching the results
from the use of Hsomei, a treat
ment for Catarrh that cures by
breathing medicated air. absolutely
without any stomach dosing. The
results have been SO universally sue
cessful that they feel justified in max
ing public offer to treat the worst
case of catarrh in Plymouth with the
understanding that il Hyomei does
not cure, the treatment will cost alb
solutely nothing.
People who have spent large sums
with catarrh specialists, deriving but
little benefit, or the many who have
swallowed stomach remedies in the
vain hope of curing catarrh, have ex-
perienced almost immediate relief
from the use of Hyomei, while the
continued treatment for & short
time, has resulted in a complete and
lasting cure.
The regular Hyomei outfit costs
only one dollar, and consists OF :
neat pocket inhaler that can be car

a thousand miles to see the grave OF

ploy of the United States govern

Leading Democrats in almost all
counties of the district are urging
the postponement of their congress
sional convention until August. 1t IS
becoming apparent to thinking men
of all parties that no congressional
convention of arr party should be
held until after the adjournment Of
congress. because the issues of the
campaign cannot be made up until
the work of congress is completed,
and no congressman should be called
from his work at Washington to con
duct campaign for denomination.

Linn Creek Has Overlooked SO That
Water Has Reached Iowa Central
shops-creek Rises Two Feet in an
Hour, and is Eight Feet Above Nor

The heavy rainfall of Sunday night,
together with the two-inch fall of snow
that melted Saturday, swelled the Iowa
river and Linn creek so that both
threaten damage. UP to noon today
the creek gives promise of doing the
greater amount of damage and already
south side streets are hub deep with
water. The bottom lands in the south
part of the city are all covered, and
the water has reached the Iowa Cen
trail shops.
Linn creek began rising early this
morning, and at noon was eight feet
higher than normal Between II and
IL o'clock the water rose two feet, and
at noon was still coming up.
While the river is still within its
banks it also threatens to do some
damage. 1t had risen four feet up to
noon, and was still rising. No remain
ing part Of the Center street dam is
visible, and the section that was car
IISu away ny Lie ldSl lISSllcL was lttA-
en- down stream between fifty and
sixty feet.
The rainfall Sunday night amounted
to- .95 of an inch The storm was
typically a March thunder shower, be-
ing accompanied by sharp flashes of
lightning and incessant thunder. The
first heavy downpour came at about
o'clock, and another resulted about
midnight
The extremes in temperature Sunday
were 43 and 20, as against 81 and 81

20 for the corresponding hour Sunday

The water rose so rapidly that it
flooded the car shops floor, and it was
necessary to stop work about noon. AT
2 o'clock this afternoon the water was
receding and 1t is thought work can
be resumed in the car shops Tuesday
morning. Work was not suspended
in the other shops, which are on high

How Confirmed Dyspeptio Developed
an Appetite Like Corn husker's and
Cleaned Out Everything in Sight.
The wife Of a leading druggist of
Des .Moines tells how her brother was
changed from a dyspeptic without ap-
petite to prodigious eater.
My brother, who is a lawyer IN
Chicago, came to visit me and hardly
knew him on his arrival he was so th1n
and run down. 1 had not seen him for
years and was much alarmed at his
appearance He told me not to worry
as he had been in this condition for
years as result of chronic dyspepsia.
asked him what he had done Tor IT,
and he said ne had done everythinS-
taken every remedy he had ever heara
Of and consulted doctors without num-
Der, none of them helped him. asked
him il he ever took Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets, and he said he hadn't ana
what was more he wouldn't. He had
sworn off taking medicine of any KIND.
81 had my husband bring home box
from the store and actually made him
take one or two of the tablets after he
had eaten. They made him feel so
much better that he offered no further
objection. He had not taken the one
box before he was greatly improved ana
three or four boxes cured him of dys-
pepsia and gave him a wonderful appe-
tite. He came near eating US out of
house and home. My, but it did me
good to see him eat. He gained fifteen
pounds before he returned home. and
he writes me that he has,snot been
troubled with dyspepsia since"
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets actually
do the work assigned to them. They
relieve weak and overburneded stom-
achs of their work of digestive action.
Their component parts are identical
with those Of. the digestive fluids and
secretions OF the stomach and they
simply take UP the grind and carry on
the work just the same as a good,
strong, healthy stomach would do 1t.
On this account Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets are perfectly natural in their
action and effects. They do not cause
any unnatural or violent disturbance in
the stomach or bowels They them
selves digest the food and supply the
system with all the nourishment con-
tanned in what is eaten and carry out
Natures plan for the sustenance and
maintenance Of the body.
stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets by thus
relieving the stomach Of its work,
4 enable it to recuperate and regain It's
normal health and strength. Nature
repairs the worn and wasted tissues

broken limb, which is of course not
used during the process OF repair.

A TROUBLE MAKER.

Coffee Poison Breeds Variety Of Ills

writes to tell how she won back health
by quitting coffee:
"I am 81 years old" she says, "have
used coffee all my life, and for 20 years
suffered from indigestion and insomnia
Life was burden and a drag to me
all the time, and about once year
my ailments got such hold upon me
that was regularly sick in bed for
several weeks each time.
II was reluctant to conclude thai
coffee was the cause Of my trouble
but am thankful that found out the

Food Coffee exclusively-for a week at
frst-for I doubted, my ability to dc
without the old kind of coffee for any
| length of time. I made the Postum
carefully, as directed, and before the
week expired had my reward in per-
cepttble increase in strength and spir-

Seeing the good that my short ex-
pertinent had accomplished, I resolved
to continue the use Of Postum Food
Coffee. cutting out the old kind Of COT
fee entirely. This did for nine
months finding daily increased cause
i for qualification at my steadily improv-
ing health. MY indigestion gradually
left me, my sleep returned, I gained 26
pounds in weight, my color changed
from sallow to a fresh, rosy hue, and
life became blessing.
Then / thought I would try the old
kind of coffee again, and did so for a
few weeks. The punishment for de-
serting my good friend, Postum, was a
return of my old troubles.
THAT taught me wisdom, and I am
now and shall be all my life hereafter
