TO keep cool. Go away" said the wet

water emptied down my back"

Luxury.

I know it is more agreeable to
walk upon carpets than to lie upon
dungeon floors; l know it is pleasant
to have all the comforts and Injuries

thoughtless upon a morning flower;
and who ever thought of rearing a
tombstone to a last summers butter

When you have cold you may be
sure that it has been caused Indirectly
by constipation and consequently you
must first of all take something to move
the bowels. This is what has made
kennedy's Laxative Cough Syrup SO
successful and SO generally demanded.
1t does not constipate like most of the
old fashioned cough cures but on the
other hand it gently moves the bowels
and at the same time heals irritation
and allays Inflammation of the throat.

The cvnic.

The cynic puts all human actions
into only two classes; openly bad and
secretly bad. All virtue, and generos-
ity, and disinterestedness are merely
the appearance of good, but selfish at
the bottom. He holds that no man
does a good thing except for profit
The effect Of his conversation upon
your feelings is to chill and scar them;
to send you away sour and morose.-

Des Moines.-Another Labor day
has passed. and the celebration which
marked its passing has never been
equaled by organized labor in Des
Moines. 1t was by far the biggest.
best and most magnificent affair of
its kind ever held in Des Moines or
Iowa. While thousands turned out
to witness the parade in the morning
the real interest centered in the en-
tertainment at the fair grounds in
the afternoon. 1t was a typical
county fair entertainment with the
all, and thousands of people filled the
huge grandstand full to witness it..
Tie parade was the largest, in point
Of numbers participating, that has
ever been given by the Des Moines
rnionists. The men as a rule wore
their every day clothes and carried
canes. The miners several thousand
strong, arrayed in blue shirts and
white canvas trousers, and the prin-
tiers wearing the long tan busters and
gray hats.
But one float had place in the
parade and that was entered by the
carpenters. And it was one of the
best and most interesting floats ever
seen on the streets Of Des Moines.
When the parade started the carpen-
tiers began building big shed, as
large as the big wagon would permit,
and when the procession disbanded
the building had been completed with
the exception of few shingles. 1t is
a good, substantial building and will
be sold by the carpenters to the
highest bidder.

s Columbus, o., July 17-For president
.. w. Chafin, Chicago; for vice pres
ident. Aaron S. Watkins. Ada, O.
The above ticket was nominated last
night by the prohtbitionists' national
convention, both men being chosen un-
aIlimously. The full Endorsement OF the
convention was not, however, given to
Mr. Chaffn until after three ballots had
been taken. On the first two ballots,
Mr. Chafin did not show great
amount of strength, receiving but l95
out of 1888 votes on the first and 376
ont of 1OS7 on the second ballot HIS
nomination was practically assured,
however, when the roll call began for
the third ballot. His own state, which
had voted largely for Daniel R. Sheen
OF Peoria, and the New York delega-
tion followed by those OF Indiana and
Wisconsin, came over to. Mr.. Chafn
and on the third ballot he received a
total OF 636 votes.
The strongest competitor Of Mr..
Chafin was Rev. William B. Palmore
OF St Louis, who received 274 votes on
the first and 418 on the second ballot,
and comparatively small vote after
II was evident that the nomination OF
Mr.. Chain could not be presented. The
convention up to this time had run
somewhat smoothly and without the
slightest friction. It was decided to
make Mr.. Palmore the vice presidential
nominee and he was named by accla-

Western Republicans to Confer
With Chairman Hitchcock
at Colorado Springs
OTHERS TO BE HELD LATER
Leaders From Central States Will
Meet at Chicago, and Those Of the
East, at New York-lndications Now
Point to Increased Republican Vote
in Southern States.

Chicago, July 17.-Frank H. Hitcn-
cock. chairman of the republican ma
tional committee, and James 7. Will
liams. Jr.. member Of Judge Taft
political staff, arrived here today from
Washington, and will leave tomorrow
for Colorado Springs, where the re-
publican state chairman and members
of the national committee from the
states west of the Missouri river, will
confer with Hitchcock on July 20 and
81. The meeting has been called for
the purpose of bringing the western
republican leaders closer together, and
to plan Systematically to run the cam
paign that is to be made in the west
for Taft and Sherman. Later, similar
conference will be held in Chicago, at
which the leaders from the central
states will be present, and after that,
the eastern republican leaders will
meet Hitchcock in New York.
In dismissing the political situation
today, Hitchcock said the hardest bat
ties would have to be fought west OF
the Missouri river, and that he planned
to secure the benefits of political as
sets never before available, for the
reason that some chairmen confined
their efforts in the past to their own
territory. Hitchcock will try to bring
them together in the matter Of getting
speakers, and so far as possible, wipe
out state lines in carrying on the CAM
paign.
1--WE want to show people that we are
at work and mean business" said
Hitchcock. "There is not a state that
will be neglected, and not a state that
will be abandoned to the other party"
The opinion expressed by Hitchcock,
is that the east is pretty safe for Taft,
and on that account, he said, he may
devote much of his time to the west,
with headquarters at Chicago. This
will not be determined, however, until
after the conference with the state
leaders. Rooms for Chicago head
quarters have not been engaged, but
several suites are under consideration.
No political conference was held here
today by Hitchcock He spent his time
talking with the agents Of buildings
which offered rooms for headquarters.

nation. He declined to accept the Of
flee, however, and persisted in his at
titude despite the strong urgings OF
his friends.
The convention finding itself con-
fronted with the necessity Of naming
another vice presidential candidate and
many of the delegates being anxious
to catch the early night trains for
their homes, became involved In deep
parliamentary tangle. The rules were
several times suspended and the sus-
pensions Immediately revoked. Finally
1t was decided that Prof Aaron S. Wat
kins of Ada, O., should be named by
acclamation. There was no opposition
to him at the moment, and Chairman
Charles Scanlon was on the verge OF
declaring Professor Watkins the NOM
inee when delegates in various parts
of the hall broke in with flood of
motions, counter motions, amendments
and suspensions of the rules. An ex-
tended debate followed, which finally
resulted in the restoration of the rules,
and ballot for the vice presidency.
Three men We're named, Professor
Watkins, T. 3. Demaree of Kentucky
and Charles S. Holler. The ballot re-
suited in the nomination of Profess
sor Watkins by an Overwhelming ma
iority, and he was Immediately there
after, upon motion of the Kentucky
delegates, made the unanimous choice.
Both the presidential and vice pres
idential nominees are candidates for
governor in their respective states on
the prohibition tickets. Eugene w.
Chain, who leads the prohibition party
this year, is an attorney residing in
Chicago. He is native of Waukesha
county, Wisconsin, and for some years
practiced law there. He was at one
time candidate for governor of Wis
consin on the prohibition ticket and
was this year placed in the running
for the same position in Illinois by the
prohibitionists of that state.

Indications Point to Increased Repub-
Iican Vote in Southern States.
Hot Springs, Va, July 17.-Judge
Taft is daily receiving letters from
democrats in Maryland, Kentucky,
Tennessee, North Carolina, and Geor-
gia assuring him that in the belief Of
the writers those states will give their
electoral votes to the republican tick
ct in the coming election. While Taft
reads the letters with interest, he re-
ceives the information that there is
hope of carrying Georgia with feel
ing on the part Of the writer that the
wish is father to the thought. Intense
feeling against the policies of Hoke
Smith in that state are looked upon as
the foundation of the bitterness OF
Georgia democrats toward the election
of Bryan, as they look upon Bryan and
Smith as representing the same ideas.
From Maryland especially Taft has a
large number of advices from demo-
Gratis that they expect to see the state
go republican and that there will be
many democratic votes to help carry
1T.
