WILL SEND ENVOY
PRESIDENTS REPRESENTATIVE
TO CALL ON OOLlivER.
SLATED FOR VICE PRESIDENT
Rumor Has 1t That Senator Borah
viii be the Man to TAX D..
liver into 1t.

Washington. d. c. June 12.-That
President Roosevelt and Secretary
Taft want Senator Dolliver to be a
candidate for the vice presidency has
been made more clear than ever
here. It is learned that personal
representative of both the president
and Mr.. Taft will be sent to Fort
Dodge within a day or two for the
purpose of impressing upon Senator
Dolliver the idea that he ought to ac-
cept the nomination and reporting
his attitude accurately to Washing
ton. This representative will be
politician of Importance. His identity
is not disclosed.
In view of the pronounced utterance
made by Senator Borah of Idaho,
that he felt certain that Dolliver
would be named no surprise would
be felt If 1T developed that Senator
Borah was the man picked for this
mission, but he refused to confirm
this. 1t can be said definitely, how,
ever, that President Roosevelt and
Secretary Taft have determined to
get the ear of Senator Dolliver
through third party and that early
and interesting developments are ex-
pected.
Governor Sheldon of Nebraska is
being mentioned as possible for vice
president in case Senator Dolliver is
not settled upon. But as things stand
1t looks more like Dolliver than ever.
President Roosevelt and Representa-.
tive Burton of Ohio had long con-
ference and there is reason to believe
their talk was favorable to Dolliver.
President Roosevelt and Secretary
Taft continue to give warm approval
to the course pursued by Frank H.
Hitchcock. He has been sent strong
concentrations and it looks as if he
would have the administrations sup.
port for national committeeman.

TAFT'S TOTAL NOW is 554.
Texas is Reached in the Alphabetical
State List,


Chicago, June 12.--The republican
national committee yesterday reached
Texas in the alphabetical list OF
states while deciding contests for
seats on the temporary roll call OF
the convention. The work settled
cases involving two delegations at
large and twenty-one districts, a total
of fifty delegates. OF these Taft is
certain to have forty-nine and he may
possibly have fifty. The uncertain
delegate halls from the Eighth dis.
trict of Tennessee and it Is not posi-
lively known how he will vote. He
belonged however, to the Oliver fac
ton in that state, the majority Of
whom were instructed for Taft.
When the committee adjourned for
the day, counting the number Sc
cured by Taft as fifty, his managers
claimed total number of delegates
in the temporary roll cal actually in
structed and not including delegates
for Taft either by Endorsement or de-
claration, to be 554. According to
estimates made by the allies, the
number Is $50, this estimate being
based on the latest figures by the
"allies.'
The work of the committee yester-
day excited much less interest than
that of any previous session. The
visitors who were numerous on for.
mer occasions were for the most part
absent, and as rule only such peo.
pie visited the coliseum, where the
committee is sitting, as had busi

PURSES GIVE UP WEALTH.
Fifty Thousand Dollars Raised by
bunker Brethren

Des Moines.-Fifty thousand dol
lars, half OF 1t in cold cash, the re-
mainder in checks and drafts, was
given by the German Baptist Breth-
rem as the annual contribution to the
missionary fund at the meeting in
he@tabernacle at the fair grounds
Monday afternoon. Canvas bags
holding the silver and gold, and stout
iron boxes filed with the bundles of
bank notes and sheaves of negotiable
paper, We're piled high on the plat
form before the meeting was closed
with long prayer of thanks giving.
Jingling and rustling, the money
was poured into the contribution
boxes by the enthusiastic churchmen.
Aroused to fervor by the sermons and
talks of the elders, who urged the
sending of more disciples , to far
away countries, the Dunkers arose to
the occasion with a record.breaking
rain of money. At no conference in
the past has such an amount been
raised for the support of the foreign
schools of the church.
Preceded by and followed by open
busses filled with determined-faced
men, the money was taken into the
city where it was banked, subject to
draft from the presiding elders of th'
church who have the missionary work
under their supervision. The church
men held little or no fear of an at
tempt at robbery, but every precau-
tionarv measure was taken to insure
the safe delivery of the money.
Much of the money was raised in
advance by the many churches
throughout the country and sent to
the conference by delegates. This
was largely in checks and drafts. the
total amount reaching $4,000. Fully
this amount was expected, and it was
the shower of dollars from the church
men at the meeting in the tabernacle
that broke all records. For two
hours the young men in ministerial
garb who took up the collection
passed among the great gathering,
and then many were not reached and
made their offerings by carrying up
the money in person to the platform.

TORTURED SIX MONTHS

Eczema appeared on my sons face.
We went to doctor who treated him

that his face and head were nothing
but one sore and his ears looked as if
they were going to fall off, so we tried
another doctor for four months, the
baby never getting any better. His
hand and legs had big sores on them
and the poor little fellow suffered so
terribly that he could not sleep. After
he had suffered six months we tried
