WINS ELECTION WITH CAKES
Cookies Instead of Drinks and Gil
gars Help Sioux City Man
Into Office.

Sioux City, Ia.-William MaXiener.
Democratic baker of Sioux City,
owes his election as alderman of the
Fourth ward, solid Republican ward,
to the fact that he made "cooky cam
paign" and gave his friends and ac-
quaintances an abundance of cookies,
instead of cigars and drinks.
For two years | have made it
practice to give away a good many
cookies said Mr. Maxiener in speak
ing of his big majority in a ward con-
trolled by the opposing party. When
ever a woman or a boy came into
my bakery and 1 knew he lived in the
ward which l desired to represent in
the city council l gave him cookies.
Every boy in the ward worked for
me. Almost every woman, wives of
Republicans and Democrats alike, was
a friend of mine because l was gen.
erous with my cookies, and l attribute
my success at the polls last week to
the fact that l gave away cookies.
William MaXiener has served in the
council for two years. He persistent
ly landed" on every prominent cIti-
zen in Sioux City who asked favors
of the city council and special priv
ileges. He fought all the banks in
Sioux City over the practice of keep
ing heavy city deposits without inter-
est, and in the election he was opposed
by them as well as by the powerful
corporation interests of Sioux City.
But, thanks to his cookies, he was
elected by larger majority than any
other Democrat on the ward ticket.

HEIREss FAMINE
Impecunious English Peers Are Ian
gushing for Yankee Girls
with Money.

Londonderry Labouchere says
there is an American heiress famine
in England and that il has come at
the most unfortunate moment that
could be imagined The radical gov
eminent" he adds, will refuse to give
appointments to tory favorites, and to
transfer money from the pockets of
the taxpayers to those of the incom-
petent well-connected.: That situation
has never before occurred in our his
tory.
almost every impecunious eye in
the West End had turned toward the
United States. At this. moment it is
heard that either the stock of Amer
lean heiresses is nearly exhausted, or
that many of them are disinclined to
purchase husbands in. the European
markets. 1t is, indeed, limited that
many of them have adopted the i'm
perial idea and now pretend that an
American man is to be preferred to
a European physical and financial
wreck that has inherited a title. An
heiress. an heiress, my kingdom for
an heiressi' is a misquoted passage
that is on thousand lips.
ut has recently become the practice
in England for the government to sell
titles for the benefit of the funds of
the party, and there can be little OBJ
lection, therefore, to the principle be-
ing extended little further 1t
should be rendered legal for an i'm
pecunious peer or baronet to sell his
title-for life, at least-with the con-
sent of the courts. That would, more
over, benefit his creditors

Unless early and correct treatment is
applied the patient seldom survives
when once the disease is fastened upon
her. We believe Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound is the most eff
cient treatment for chronic kidney
troubles of women, and is the only med
icine especially prepared for this
purpose.
When a woman is troubled with pain
or weight in loins, backache, frequent,
painful or scalding urination, swelling
of limbs or feet, swelling under the
eyes, an uneasy, tired feeling in the
region of the kidneys or notices a
sediment in the urine, she should
lose no time in commencing treatment
with Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable
Compound, as it may be the means of
saving her life.
For proof, read what Lydia e. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound did for Mrs.
Sawyer.

Are You Tired. Nervous
and SIeepIess?

Nervousness and sleeplessness are "a
ually due to the fact that the nerves are
not fed on properly nourishing blood;
they are starred nerves. Dr., Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery makes pure,
rich blood, and thereby the nerves are
properly nourished and all the organs of
the body are run as smoothly as machine
cry which runs IN oil. In this way you
feel clean, strong and strenuous-you are
toned up and invigorated, and you are
good for whole lot of physical or mental
work. Best of all. the strength and in
crease in vitality and health are lasting.
The trouble with most tonics and med
cines which have large, booming sale
for short time, is that they are largely
composed of alcohol holding the drugs in
solution. This alcohol shrinks up the red
blood corpuscles, and in the long run
greatly Injuries the system. One may feel
exhilarated and better for the time being,
yet in the end weakened and with vitality
decreased. DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery contains no alcohol Every
bottle of it bears upon its wrapper The
Badge of Honesty, in full list of all its
several ingredients. For the druggist to
offer you something he claims is 'sjust as
good'' is to insult your intelligence.
Every Ingredient entering into the
world-famed Golden Medical Discovery
has the unanimous approval and endorse
ment of the leading medical authorities
OF all the several schools of practice. No
other medicine sold through druggists for
like purposes has any such endorsement
The Golden Medical Discovery' not
only produces all the. good effects to be
obtained from the use of Golden Seal
root. in all stomach, liver and bowel
troubles, as in dyspepsia, bilIiousness, con-
stipation, liberation of stomach and
bowels and kindred ailments, but the
Golden Seal root used in its compound
ing is greatly enhanced in its curative &C
tion by other ingredients such as Stone
root, Black Cherrybark, Bloodroot, Man
drake root and chemically pure triple
refined glycerine.

PRESIDENT TRANSMITS GAR
FIELD REPORT TO CONGRESS.
REPORT is VERY IMPORTANT.
1t shows the enormous Profits the
Standard Oil Company Obtains at
the Expense of the Railroads =
Many Points Brought Out.
Monday, MAY z.

Washington. = President Roosevelt
transmitted to congress the report of
James R. Garfield, commissioner of
corporations, giving the results of his
investigation of the subject of trans
portation and freight rates in connec-
ton with the oil industry.
In his message the president ex-
presses the view that the report is of
capital Importance because of the eff
fort now being made to secure such
enlargement of the powers of the in
terstate commerce commission as
will confer upon the commission pow
er in some measure adequate to meet
the clearly demonstrated needs of the
situation. The facts set forth in the
report, he declares, are for the most
part not disputed. That the Standard
Oil Company has benefited enormous
ly up almost to the present moment
by secret rates, many of which were
| clearly unlawful, the president says
the report clearly shows, the benefit
| three quarters of a million year. On
| tnlS SUBJECT he says:
This three-quarters of a million
represents the profit that the Stand
ard Oil Company obtains at the ex-
pense of the railroads; but of course
| the ultimate result is that it obtains
a much larger profit at the expense
of the public. A very striking result
of the investigation has been that
shortly after the discovery of these
secret rates by the commissioner of
corporations, the major portion of
them were promptly corrected by the
railroads, so that most of them have
now been done away with. This i'm
mediate correction, partial or COM
| plete, of the evil of the secret rates.
is of course on the one hand an ac-
knowledgement that they were wrong
and yet were persevered in until ex-
posed; and on the other hand, a proof
of the efficiency of the work that has
been done by the bureau of corpora

The senate committee on privileges
and elections considered the Senator
Smoot case, but in view of statements
of several senators that they desired
to review certain features of the tes-
timony, a vote was postponed until
May Is. 1t was agreed, however, that
a vote shall be had on that day.
Saturday, May 5.
Washington.-This was the last day
for general debate IN the senate on
the railroad rate bill, and it was fully
occupied. Following brief speech by
Mr.. Nelson, Mr.. TiIiman spoke at
length in an effort to show by criti-
cism of individual judges that the
power of granting temporary injunc-
tons by inferior United States courts
should be taken from them in inter
state commerce commission cases and
he was followed By Messrs. Bacon,
Bailey, Teller and Foraker, in
speeches of some length.
Mr.. Tillman's speech consisted
mainly of quotations rejecting upon
the conduct of federal judges in diff
ferent parts of the country. While he
was speaking, he engaged in contro-
versy with Mr.. Spooner, in which the
Wisconsin senator characterized his
adversary's reference to him as ''in-

UNIQUE ADVICE IN SERMON
Cleveland Evangelist Tells Young
Men How to Choose a
Good Wife.

Cleveland O.-EvangeIist Manley
Wilson delivered an address, on
Choosing a Wife or a Husband and
How to Treat Them After You Get
Them" at the Gospel church recently.
He said in part:
Its a grabbed old man who never
had wife. It's a grabbed old maid
who never had husband.
my advice to young men contem-
plating marriage is this:
Before you wed examine the girlc
tongue. If it's tied in the middle and
runs at both ends don't marry her.
Also measure her tongue. If it's
longer than ten inches don't marry
her, because she will spend her time
climbing trees to gossip with the
neighbors.
Then again, look into the family
garbage can before you take the leap.
If it's filed with half pies. biscuits,
cake and bread, don't marry her, be
cause she can't cook.
"A woman can put more out of the
back door with spoon than a man
can bring III the front door with a
shovel. Choose a wife in keeping with
your profession. In short, don't get
hitched unless you hitch.
IF any of you girls have your eyes
upon prospective husbands, l would
say:
Beware of those spider-legged
dudes, who possibly have money but
certainly no occupation. If your ad.
mirer is posted on all the races, make
him trot Don't think you can re-
form drinker by marrying him. I'd
at least make him try the drink cure
first.
Now for the married folks:
when you marry, you marry wife
or a husband. not a mOther-in-law."
