WASHINGTON. June 2.-Aside from a
congratulatory telegram to Secretary Taft
nothing has been heard at the War depart
ment from General Luke Z. Wright, who
is to succeed him. as to his movements pre-
ceding the formal assumption Of his duties.
Secretary Taft is confidently looked for at
the department by the beginning of next
week, when General Wright will be ready
for a conference with him. A great number
of congratulatory letters continue to be re-
ceived at Secretary Taft's office and now
then a stray telegram comes along.
Many OF the letters are said to be from
persons in the more modest walks OF life.
Answers to the congratulations are being
held for Secretary Taft's personal sigma
ture when he returns TO Washington.
Today's mail brought congratulatory let
tiers from Mrs. Lucretia r. Garfield and
Mrs. Benjamin Harrison, the widows of
ex-presidents. Charlie Taft went with his
mother last night to Join the secretary In
New Haven today. The first intention was
to leave him at home, but he pleaded hard
to go, and his mother reluctantly gave her
consent. The family today will be the
guests OF an ola fIiend OF Mr.. Taft, VIII

HULL is FIFTY VOTES AHEAD
Count IL Completed and PrOuty Men
May Abandon the Com
Contest.

DIES MONIES, Ia, tune ga recount
of the ballots OF the Third precinct of
the Second ward in Des Moines, which was
completed at 1880 o'clock this morning
by the Polk county supervisors, gave j.
A. T. Hull fifty-six more votes than he
was credited with in the returns Of the
election judges.
This latest gain for Hull places mis- ma
jority over Judge Prouty at fifty votes
in the entire congressional district, and
completely overshadows the gain of thir-
teen votes Prouty made in Story county
Saturday night.
This big change in the recount Of ballots
was the most surprising of any during the
entire contest between the two congress-
sional candidates and is so large that
the Prouty men about concede the election
Of Hull.

BANNER DAY AT MANAWA
Attendance at Lake ResOre Sunday
IL the Largest for the
Season.

Manawa had the banner day so far this
season, Sunday and thousands Of pleasure
seekers spent their first day OF summer
recreation at the beautiful resort. The
park never before presented such an enam-
oring spectacle. The copious rains OF the
past few weeks have made the colorings
richer and the green lawns look like beau
tiful velvet carpets spread upon mother
earth.
The hot rays of old Sol made the lake a
most popular attraction and the launches
were filled to capacity every trip. carrying
passengers across the water. Many took
their initial plunge at the Kursoal yester-
day. All features seemed to have their
share of admirers and the coaster and rail-
way could scarcely. accommodate all who
clamored for a ride. -s.. ,,-,.--~
Tom Andrew made a balloon ascension
which pleased everybody. h Manawa
concert band proved a great drawing card
judging from the enthusiasm displayed by
the listeners.
The new show at the Casino was a good
one and the Murder Change" received

comments on the anti-injunction plank
adopted at the Chicago convention, nor
would he discuss any feature OF the dem
ocratic situation. The secretary said he ex-
pected to be actively engaged in his cam
paign right up to election day and that he
would not take any vacation.

sherman May Not Resign.
WASHINGTON. June 22.-The question
whether Representative Sherman will re-
main as chairman of the republican con
gressional committee Isl not regarded as
conclusively settled by persons who are
familiar with the work Of the committee
in this city. 1t is expected that this matter
will be determined when the republican ma
tional committee meets here July /, when
both Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Sherman will be
present and when many matters relating to
the campaign will be determined. It is
believed that in advance of the selection
of a chairman, Mr.. Sherman, himself, has
done nothing to determine just what part
he will take in the campaign.
The positions Of Secretary Taft and that
Of Mr.. Sherman, so far as their official
duties are concerned are not regarded here
as at all Identical. The resignation of Sec
rotary Taft was expected by every one as
it was manlfestly Impossible for him to
attend to the duties Of secretary Of war
and be at the head OF the republican ticket.
There was other phases OF his case relating
to the propriety Of filling a cabinet posi-
ton and going actively into the campaign
which do not apply to the case Of Mr..
Sherman.
Identical Instances.
There are many instances in which men
have retained their positions as members
OF the house Of representatives and have
gone into campaigns for other positions,
not r~esigning from the house until the re-
suit Of their campaign has been shown.
Mr.. Sherman will probably CONTINUE to be
a member~of the house Of representatives
until the fourth of next March, even in the
event Of his election to the vice-presidency.
1t Is said here that in filling the office
OF chairman OF the congressional committed
he will neglect no duty that he would
nave performed It he had not been nomi'
mated on the republican ticket. In this view
Of the case. many Of Mr.. Sherman's
friends here consider all talk of his resig'
nation Of the committee or as a member
OF the house as purely speculative.

S.S.S.CURES CATARRH

caanh is not merely a disease of the mucous membranes and inner
Innings Of the body IS some of the symptoms would seem to indicate; it is a
deepseated blood disease in which the entire circulation and the greater
part of the system are involved. Like all other blood diseases, Catarrh
comes from Poisons, and impurities aceumulating in the circulation which
luitate and inAamN the tissues and mucous surfaces, and then the unpleasant
ymptO%s Of the disease are manifested. There Is a ringing noise in the
the throat the breath has a offensive Odot, and many other annoying and
inhaAions etc, cannot reach the blood, and are therefore valuable only for
the temporary relief they afford. To cure CatarTh the blood must he purified.
Nothing equals S. S. S. for this purpose; it goes down into the circulation,
removes the catarrhal matter, purifes the blood and makes a lasting cure.
When S. S. S. has removed the cause, the blood being pure and healthy
nouishes the membranes and tissues instead of irritating them with noxioul
matter, and the symptoms all pass away. Book on CahrTh and any medical
