1t is real pleasure to note the
consanguinity of spirit and feeling
between Gov. Cummins and the de-
mocratic party of Iowa. When you
stop to thiLk OF it, when did the
governor ever make a speech that was
contrariwise to democratic doctrines.
On the contrary he has been bowling
in obeisance to democrats ever since
he deserted the republican party to
assist in the election Of Gov. Boie s..
To all intents and purposes Gov.
Cummins is the most popular demo
crat IN Iowa todav. .-Hopkinton

All over the state democrats are
rallying to the Cummins standard,
because he represents purely demo
cratic principles, they say. Judge
Wade of Iowa City, the only Iowa
democrat in the last congress, says
"he is now advocating the very things
/ lave advocated for years. Scores
of democratic papers are urging the
republicans to nominate Cummins. for
they see in this their only opportunity
to achieve success in Iowa politics.
When il comes to such pass in Iowa
that man of democratic propens'ties
must be elected governor, let him
hoist the democratic standard, and
not attempt to sail under false colors.

Decorah public opinion. (Decorah, Winneshiek County [Iowa]) 1895-1928, 1906-03-21

The overwork ing of youthful tele
graph operator at Adobe, little
station on the Denver and Rio Grande
railroad west of Pueblo. Colo. is said
to have been the cause of one of the
most disastrous railroad wrecks in
history, near Florence early last Fri
day morning, when he fell asleep at
his key after three days and nights at
his post, and failed to deliver the
train dispatcber's OF ders directing the
movement of the west-bound Utah
California express, and which resulted
in head-on collision with the
Colorado-New Mexico express. Fire
completed the work of the wreck, and
probably thirty-six lives were lost,
and over thirty injured.

The Hampton Chronicle announces
the candidacy of its brother publisher,
Colonel L. B. Raymond of the Re-
corder. for Lieutenant Governor, in
its last issue. 1t has been supposed
for several weeks that the Colonel
might finally accede to the urgent
solicitation of his many friends
throughout the state and allow his
name to be announced. Col. Ray
mond is one of the salt of the earth.
An Iowa pioneer, brave soldier, a
capable, fearless newspaper writer,
an honored citizen, and a man in
every way worthy of the position,
we hope to see him nominated and
elected. There is never any doubt as
to co.. Raymond's position on public
matters, nor as to his republicanism,
and he has hundreds of old army
comades. old and new acquaintances
throughout the state who would be
glad to sec him thus honored. His
election would be q credit to the state.

POPULAR GIRL CONTEST
BECOMES INTERESTING.
PRIZE OF SIS. 90 IN GOLD APRIL 9TH.
Many New Names Added 10 List of Con-
testanrs. Girls are Getting Busy
and Votes are Coming in.

The great double piano contest
instituted two weeks ago is now we'll
under way and large number of
young ladies are busy getting new
subscribers to this paper, having old
ones pay, and regular subscribers pay
mp in advance number of years, SO
as to get votes for the most popular
lazy in the county. New contestants
are being added nearly every day, and
it seems that in every part of the
county there will be some one who
will work for one of the pianos and
the special prizes. The first prize will
be beautiful $4,000 Hamilton
piano, one of the best high grade in
struments, which has repeatedly taken
firts premium in competition with
the world. The second prize is a
handsome $500. 90 Howard piano. also
a high grade piano of fine tone and
finish. On Saturday, April I, a special
prize of $500 in gold will be given
to the lady having the highest number
of votes. These votes will also be in
cluded in the final count for the first
and second prizes. In the Rules of
the Contest published last week and
mailed to the contestants we announced
that votes would be given. for adver-
tising and job printing. We have
decided to eliminate these features
from the contest, as we feel that this
might give some contestants an unfair
advantage over others and we want
them to be all on an equal basis. The
reason for this decision is because
some one might get all the votes from
one or more of our leading advertisers
who advertise extensively in each
issue, and this would not be fair to
the others, so we have decided to issue
no votes for advertising or job print
ing. BY giving votes on subscription
only it maks the contest absolutely
fair for everyone. Girls, get busy.
Here is chance of life time. 1t
will do Won lots of good if you should
not happen 10 win. The experieis&s
will be worth much to you. The contest
will be absolutely fair and square, and
on its merits. Our sole object in Civ
ing it is to increase our subscription
and we expect to do so to a great
extent. Get everyone you can to sub
scribe for the paper and those who
now take it to pay in advance, and if
you work hard you will probably win.
Below we give the names of those
now entered as contestants. New
names may be added at any time.

SLEEP WALKING.
DANGEROUS Habit Overcome b
Change of Food.

The causes of sleep walking are
various. but the sleep walker Always
has disturbed nervous system
Often improper food, by causing in
digestion and thereby poisoning the
nerves through the stomach, is a cause
of this trouble
INV daughter for five years was
troubled with Indigestion which result
Ga in extreme nervousness" writes an
Indiana mother. ''She would eat hearth
Iv of meat. vegetables and pastry for
q time. and then become sluggish, lose
her appetite and get so nervous she
could not attend to her school work.
ION such occasions the family doctor
would call and by giving her medicine
would fix her up for a while. only to
have the old trouble come back in three
or four weeks.
''She would walk In her sleep some
times when her nerves were greatly dis
turbed by indigestion.
For breakfast we usually had some
kind of cereal and for a change got
some Grape Nuts. We all took to the
new food. my daughter became so very
fond of IL she otter made her breakfast
on Grape-Nuts, exclusive of anything
else-sonetimes also for lunch.
I'VE soon noticed a marked change in
her nerves, she ceased to walk in her
sleep and had no trouble with her
stomach. We were confident the Grape
Nuts had brought the happy change,
and continued to use it,. so that now
after more than year she is a rosy,
robust girl, full of animation, strong
and well. Name given by Postum Co,
Battle Creek, Mich. There's a rea-
son."
