DR.. KENNEDY'S
Av0RITE
REMEDY
Breaks no Hearts, Excuses

DR.. David Kennedy's FAvORITE REM
EDY is not disguised enemy of the human
race; where it cannot help, it does not
harm. 1t is composed of vegetable ingre-
dents and does not heat or infame the
blood but cools and purifies it. In all cases
of Kidney troubles, Liver complaints, Con-
stipation of the Bowels, and the delicate
arrangements which affiict women, the ac-
ton of DR.. Kennedy's FAvORITE REM
EDY is beyond praise. Thousands of
grateful people voluntarily testify to this,
in letters to DIR. Kennedy; and with a
warmth and fullness of words which mere
business certificates never possess. 1t
makes no drunkards-excuses no crimes
breaks no hearts. We challenge trial and
are confident of the result. ONE DOLLAR

SAGE and COWN|E
FIGURES DISAGREE

Des Moines, Jan. 17.-Iowa's corn
crop for the past year is 100000
bushels less according to the govern
ment crop report than that reported
by Director j. r. Sage of the Iowa
Crop Bureau.
Mr.. Sage gives Iowa total corn
crop of 346.577.98S bushels. The gov.
eminent gives the state a total corn
crop of 305. ?8S,00O bushels. Mr.. Sage
declares, basing his statement on the
report of the $500 crop reporters
throughout the state, that Iowa's corn
averaged 37.2 bushels per acre. The
government gives the yield per acre
as 34.8.
But the widest difference is in the
acreage Mr.. Sage gave Iowa's corn
acreage as 9,542,956. This figure he
compiled from the reports Of the as.
SCISSORS. The government report
shows the acreage as but 8,7S7,0OO. 4
Last year there was discrepancy
between the state and national re.
ports Of 20,00000O bushels. The diff.
ference created sensation in grain
circles. This year, however, the
amount is more than doubled,

VACCINATION UP
TO LEGISLATURE

Des Moines, Jan. 17.-Preparations
for the printing of the state census
came to a sudden stop yesterday
when members of the state executive
council, from Governor Cummins
down, were presented with a restrain
in order signed by Judge Smith Nc
Pherson of the United States courts.
Judge Mcpherson granted the re-
straining order late last night on
petition of the Rock Island Brewing
company. The latter company de-
clares that the state census and Off.
cial register are about to be publish
ed showing that the census of At
lantic is 1888. Instead, the petition
declares, the census is 5,186. The
date for hearing Of the injunction
has not been set but Judge McPher'
son issued an order declaring that
he will set the date soon, giving each
party five days notice the eof. T..
And So in addition to being in both
the district and supreme courts, At
lantic and her census difficulties are
now in the federal courts.
Whether or not Governor Cummins,
Secretary Martin, Treasurer Gilbert,
son and Auditor Carroll can be en-.
joined from certifying up the census
figures as decided b. the courts is an
interesting question. The troubles OF
Atlantic and her census have been
dwelt upon for weeks, but the new
federal court phase of the affair
promises to be even more Interesting
than previous developments.

Des Moines, Jan. 1.-THE state
board of health lodged row over
vaccination methods yesterday morn.

tween the various schools OF medicine
to the state legislature.
DR.. Linn of Des Moines, a homeo
path, supported the Powers motion
and sit was adopted with only one
dissenting vote. that of DR.. Hanchett
DR.. Linn took occasion to declare
however, that he believed the legisla
ture would wash it's hands of the
entire matter on the ground that to
define vaccination in favor of one
school Of medicine or the other would
be class legislation.
The definition of vaccination by the
state board of health, which is OBJ
jectionable to the homeopathic physi
clans, who advocate internal vac
cination or variolinum. is as follows
it being similar to the definition by
the national conference of state and
provincial boards Of health:
IAN incubation, by sacarification
puncture or injection beneath the
epidermis, of vaccine which pro
duecs, with some constitutional dis
turbance, the typical vaccine vesicle
which leaves, after the pock has heal
ed, it's characteristic scar"

ADDED POWERS FOR
BOARD OF HEALTH

Des Moines, Jan. 19.-Increased
powers for the state board OF health
in enforcing the observance of san
itary rules in public school buildings
are granted in bill introduced in
the senate by Senator o. B. Court
right of Black Hawk county. The bill
provides for the appointment Of san.
itary expert to serve on the board,
and if passed it will require the sub.
mission of all plans for new school
buildings to this official for approval.
The bill was referred to the committee
on public health.
If the bill becomes law the board
will have authority to adopt and en-.
force rules governing the heating,
lighting, ventilation and sanitation of
all city and town school buildings and
all rural schools having more than
one room. The inspector OF puDllL
buildings is given power to issue an
order compelling school directors to
remedy apparent defects in sanitation
and the board of health may have re-
course to the courts for an Injunction
restraining the erection. or remodeltng
o. school buildings unless the health
rules are complied with.
Senator Courtright's proposed
amendment to the present statutes
eliminates the civil engineer from
the board and substitutes an expert
on sanitation the latter to be ap-
pointed by the governor on or before
January 1, 1907, as a member OF the
board for term of seven years. His
compensation would be $4,000 per
annum. -

THE PRATT JURY
FAIL TO AGREE

Rockwell City, jan 19.-At 4
o'clock yesterday afternoon .the jury
in the Pratt murder trial announced
that an agreement could not be
reached,s the vote being 10 for &C.
quittal and for convection Jurors
w. G. Guenther and E. A. Griffith
standing out for conviction.
The jury was highly complimented
by Judge Church on its good con-
duct, and was then discharged.
Mrs. Pratt, who sat in her usual
place in the court room near Attor-
ney Parsons, was slightly nervous
and her face twitched, but she made
no demonstration when the decision
of the jury was announced except to
close her eyes for few moments
as if in prayer.
Judge Church announced that she
would be released on her old bonds
and the case continued. She and
her attorney then left the court
room. Her face became radiant as
she passed out into the open air and
evidently felt that she was practic.
ally a free woman.
County Attorney Hutchinson is
not prepared to say whether she will
be tried again or the case dismissed.
The latter is most probable, how
ever, as it is doubtful if she could
be convicted on the evidence now at
hand.
Whether Cyrus Pratt died of ar
senic poisoning or from natural
causes may remain mystery for
ever.
The case will probably be retired
as soon as possible, if at all, as 1t
is understood that the county at.
torney desires to end the case
against Mrs. Pratt before beginning
the prosecution of William Persing
who is now in the county Jail on an
indictment charging completely in
the alleged poisoning of Cyrus Pratt

Des Moines, Jan. 17.-David s
Clayman of Fontanelle created sen
sation at the ccr.to! yesterday after
noon by threatening to blow up the
state house with dynamite unless civ
en- job as door keeper of the senate.
He became so loud in his demands
for recognition that the police were
called, and he was lodged in Jail
He will be arraigned before the in
sane commission this morning.
The incident gave rise to many
sensational stories, among them one
that Clayman had made desperate
attempt to kill Governor Cummins
and that he had drawn a revolver on
several of the state house attaches.
These stories were much exagger-
ated, however. He declared he was
going to kill the governor, Senator
Dowell. and Representative Teachout
He did not see the governor, and,
when searched, no weapon Of any
kind was found upon him, and he had
only a few clippings from newspa.
pers. He displayed no revolver or
other weapon at the capitol.
Clayman has been about the state
house for several days. He has in
sisted that he was entitled to pub
lie place, having served the state for
twelve years. He referred to the
fact that he spent twelve years in
prison. He attempted to see the
governor yesterday, but was induced
to leave the Office. He told some of
the Office attaches that he understood
that an effort would be made to keep
him from seeing the executive, and
that such situation should not be.
He meant to threaten, undoubtedly,
but displayed no inclination to force
his way at the time.
Clayman has been out of the pen
itentiary only about two years. He
served in the prison for twelve years
for the murder of man named
Mintzer at Fontanelle.

frequently refuse to stop to take on
freight and even leave port with only

Of freight lie on the Wharves.
1t was alleged that the apparent

the steamship company was to hinder
