~ographicsl position near the center Of the
United States and its relation to the great
tr-ans-eontinental railroad make low rates
in the state impractical, according TO the
opinions OF railroad experts who testified
In the Missouri rate cases today.
Columbus Hale, vice president and traffic
manager OF the Missouri, Kansas q Texas
railroad, said that low freight and passen-
ger rates in Missouri would disturb the
fabric of rates in general force in the
United States. The testimony OF two other
experts was practically the same. Mr..
Hale testified that II is not possible 10
lower the state rates in Missouri without
seriously affecting the Interstate business
across the continent.
He also believes that the greet CONNER
eial centers. Chicago, St Louis and Kan
sas City. would suffer more than the RAN
roads by a shakeup in the tariffs
Gardiner Lathrop, general solicitor for
the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Re. asked
the witness how the cities would be AT
fected by a radical change in the rates.
"The present rates were 50 adjusted

three named were developed the witness

The Wonderful
Blood of Man
Dies and Is Born Again With Every
Breath of the Lungs.

Human blood contains red and white
cOrpuscles. The little red soldiers carry
food, strength and vitality to all parts OF
the body and the little white warriors
fight the battles Of the body.
When through poor eating, wrong d.
gestion. disease or whatever the cause
may be, the blood becomes filled with
poisons and impurities the little red and
white soldiers cannot do their work
properly and hence they become a men
ace rather than aid 70 the rest Il the
body.
20 1000. 900 corpuscles die with every
breath OF the lungs. To rid their ranks
OF enemies they throw them into the
cells Of the skin or down deep in the tis-
sues and man has to suffer pimples. boils,
blackheads and eruptions.

ELECTION AN EXPENSIVE ONE
Delayed Count Runs Bills Higher
Than Usual.

The Board OF Supervisors had before it
yesterday the bills for the recent general
election. They included the claims OF the
judges. clerks and registrars. the bills for
the polling places. printing OF the ballots
and other incidental expenses. The bills
were many in number and large in amount
and when the footing of the total expense
is made. it is expected to show that the
general election this year was the most
expensive ever held in Pottawattamie
county.
The cost OF the registration alone will
be about 800. Each OF the registrars will
be paid at the rate of S a day and as they
served five days they will each receive IS.
The bills filed by the judges and clerks
varied in amount, as some claimed longer
hours than others. Some were allowed az
much as SIS, while the amounts claimed by
others were cut down by the board. Con-
tracts for the buildings in which the poll
ing places were located were made for two
days, but in some instances the buildings
were used for three and four days. owing
to the delay In counting the ballots. which
increased the bills.
The board expects 10 complete the audit
ing Of the election bills this morning.
The bond OF j. II. Chambers. appointed
clerk OF the district court by Judge ThorneII
on the resignation OF II. V. Battey, was
fixed by the board at $4,000.
The contract for the county bridges for
1893 was awarded to W. NJ. Lana OF Harlan.
the present contractor. at the prices pre.
vailing this year, Under the contract the
county pays ISIS per lineal foot for all new
bridges and various prices for repairs.
The board does not expect 10 take snv
action in the matter OF the county taiI.
which the grand jury reported to be in a
condition dangerous TO the health OF the
inmates. The members indicated that no
action would be .aken by them toward
making any Improvement in the jail. but

Checking Up County Omceru.

LAKE CITY, Ia, Nov. H-(Special.)--
Last week the Board Of Supervisors passed
a resolution employing ". A Burnap. an
expert accountant, to check up all the
county officers Of Calhoun county to cover
the years 19o5-6-7-S.
At a recent meeting Of the grand Jurors
a recommendation was made that all
offices be checked up. but instead of
complying with that recommendation tho
board employed Mr.. Burnap TO check the
county treasurer only. This action on the
part OF the board has caused considerable
feeling. so much in fact that the board
has decided IL was wise to take action N
accordance with the recommendation az
the grand jury.
Mr.. Burnap has made his report cover
ing his findings in the treasurer's office
up-to-date and the report is a most favor
able one of the manner in which the affairs
Of that office have been conducted.

BERkEBILE ours THE GUARD
Captain Resigns and Accounts Are
Approved as Being All 80 H."

From a staff Correspondent
DIES MONIES. Nov. H-CSpecial)-Cap-
tain Thomas Berkebile OF Cedar Rapids has
resigned as captain OF the guard ompany
and his resignation has been accepted by
the governor. Some time ago a story was
out tina Berkebile was short and had left
the country. 1t appears he was away on
a business trip and he now resigns with his
accounts reported in proper form. He was
also Judge advocate general of the state
guard and conducted the prosecution Of the
officers Of a company at Davenport for
having disobeyed orders.
Senator Bleakley of Ida county, the
newly elected state auditor. is in the city.
and he is besieged by applicants for posi-
tons. The office of state auditor has larger
patronage at its disposal than any other
office in the state, including the banking
and insurance departments and supervision
Of public accounts. State Auditor Carroll
is also engaged in picking the places in his
department as governor, of which there are
many.
The Board Of Supervisors today COM
pleted the count Of the vote in Polk county,
which includes Des Moines. It shows that
the vote for Carroll, republican, for gov
ernor was 12.9O3 and for White, his demo-
cratic opponent. 1898. The vote in the state
has not as yet all been heard from.
The sudden death of Bank Examiner
F.. b. Shaw, while at work on the books
OF the First National bank at Carroll will
delay settlement of the affairs OF the bank
following the suicide of President Gull
bertson. II was expected Shaw would filc
his report in a day or two and then the
work OF arranging for payment of a part
of the losses would be made. 1t is now
regarded as certain that a new examiner
will have to begin practically at the be-
ginning and reckon up the losses.
State Auditor Carroll criticiscs the county
officials who have effected a scttlsInen,
Of the affairs OF the Green Mountain Saw
ings bank and insists that he has moi
sanctioned the settlement. He states that
in his opinion the officers Of the bank
should have been prosecuted. He does not
believe tho settlement was proper.

The gas bag was made entirely risid by
