How catarrh is Contracted.

Mothers are sometimes so thought
less as TO neglect the colds which their
children contract The Inflammation
of the mucous membrane, at first
acute, becomes chronic and the child
has chronic catarrh, a disease that is
seldom cured and that may prove a
life's burden. Many persons who have
this loathesome disease will remem-
Der having had frequent colds at the
time It was contracted. A little fore
thought, a bottle of Chamberlain
Cough Remedy judiciously used, and
all this trouble might have been avoid.

been a Godsend to the farmers, espec-

inspector with the state school land
/ department 1T is a fact, when the
law was first suggested a howl went
up from the bankers, and many OF the
small borrowers, the FORMER claiming
they could not afford to make small
loans at the legal rate, and the latter
because the banks would deny them
loans for anything but large amounts.
The result has been that the small
borrower,-the one who usually got
from fifty to one hundred dollars to
carry him through to harvest was
unable to secure the money in these
amounts, even though the security
was gilt edge. He was compelled to
go home, plant a garden and look
more closely after chickens and hogs.
He had to get down to pretty close
living, but he and his family did not
starve, and the result is that he does |
not owe the banks a dollar this fall, he |
does not owe the merchant, and every
thing he and his family raised be-
longed to them. 1t looked like pretty
tough medicine at the start, but they
have found out that mighty few peo-
pie actually starve to death and have
learned a lesson in thrift that will
soon put them in the land-owning
class"
Mr.. MCGOWAN cited instance after

accomplish this when it was first ap-

PRIMARY RESULTS.

Our recent primaries held Monday
resulted as a rule in the nomination
of good, capable men for the various
city offices. For mayor there are two.
Both are good citizens and eminently
qualified. For councilmen there are
eight nominated, four to be elected
We are personally acquainted with
all the candidates and know that at
least seven of them we can vouch Tor,
as far as fair dealings with the COL
ored people. The other one, whose
name of John L. Hamery, was a mem,
ber of the city council once before and
had charge of the public safety and
his unfair dealings with the colored
people in so far as related to the po-
lice department certainly did great
harm to the colored people OF this
city, and we urge our colored people
to vote against him. Those OF. US
who lived through that administration
know that it was the worst depart
ment in treatment of colored people
that we ever experienced in the his
tory of Des Moines. Having oeen
WEIGHED in the balance and found
wanting, we would urge our colored
voters to vote and work against him at
this election. 81

DIR CITY PRIMARIES.

Last Monday was red letter day
to the iitizens Of Des Moines, espe-
cially to most of the candidates. The
day was an ideal March day, although
the vote was rather light. Out OF the
sixty candidates only twenty-four
were nominated and only half OF this
number can be elected on Monday,
March 9th. Among those s1xty-sx
candidates running was Negro, a
Jew. two Swedes, one Italian and sew
eral Catholics. One Catholic was
nominated, one Jew, two Swedes, put
the Negro and Italian were both de-
feated, While Mr.. Rush made clean,
manly fight and we had hoped that ne
might have secured enough votes to
have placed him on the ticket, yet he
fell to about fifteenth place out OF
twenty-one candidates. He only car
ried two precincts. We regret his de-
feat, yet Atty. Rush and his race has
made many good friends, and one
good thing that was shown to the
white man was the fact that the Ne
groes can get together and all work
together for member of our own
race. We were all united and all the
other candidates respected and even
feared us when thus united.

JAMES J. CONROY FOR COUN.
GILMAN,

The result of the recent primary in
dicates very plainly that James J..
Conroy is without question one of the
strong factors in the coming election.
His force of character, clean person
ality and mental ability evidently ap-
pealed to the citizens Of our city.
Men of his type can and will do things
which will bring order out Of chaos,
and which will place Des Moines up
on a clean, moral, as well as sub
stantial business basis. His ability,
integrity and sincerity of, purpose
have never been questioned, ind if the
citizens of Des Moines exercise their
usual good judgment in the selection
of the members Of the next city coun-
Gil Mr.. Conroy will undoubtedly be
one of the>f men to be chosen.
His sympathy and assistance along
labor union lines has been appreciat-
ed, as has been expressed by their un-
divided and unsolicited endorsement
of his candidacy.
1t would seem that in the selection
of the next city council Mr.. Conroy is
the logical man, because he an by his
business ability and his knowledge of
municipal affairs render such service
as will bring about the results the
people as a whole are expecting from
our public officials.
He would be glad to have all sin
cere and progressive citizens call at
his headquarters, 907 Walnut street,
and discuss any matters pertaining to
municipal affairs, believing that it
would be of mutual benefit

Nearly everybody who has had any,
thing to do with courts in Polk coun-
ty during the last thirty years knows
Walter Irish. Through all that time
he has been one Of the official report
ers and has averaged nearly three
hundred days year in court. It is
easily seen that this is a much larger
experience than the ordinary practic-
ing attorney is able to secure, while
at the same time Mr.. Irish has the
advantage of the same disinterested
relationship to these trials as the
judge. He has gone through each
case second time in making traE-
script of the record and as a lawyer
has followed the history Of appealed
cases and studied the opinions Of the
supreme court.
Mr.. Irish graduated from the law
department Of Drake university and
was admitted to the bar in 1899. He
has appeared as counsel in many
cases with success.
Combining the qualifications of a
practicing attorney with those Of a
shorthand reporter, serving under
Judges Given, Connor, Kavanaugh,
Holmes, Brennan asd Utterback, Mr..
Irish can certainly give valuable as
sistance in the organization Of the
