Thcro were symptoms of preparations
around the city building yesterday for the
Manawn Motor Hallway company's franchise
election , which Is to ho held next Wednesday ,
The big galvanized Iron poll boxes were be
ing taken from the storage vaults In the
upper part of the city building and made
ready for distribution among the various
polling places in the city precincts today.
Very little Interest Is apparently being
taken in the election and the prediction was
made yesterday that unless something was
done by the friends of the measure to awaken
public Interest there would not bo 1,000 votes
In the entlro election. The petition asking
the mayor to sign the extension granted by
the council bore the names of more than one-
half of the voters of the city and there seems
to bo a disposition to lot this act settle the
question so far as the majority of the voters
is concerned. The railway company and Its
managers have apparently taken no part In
tha discussion that are going on , but have
been aroused to the necessity of doing some
thing to awaken greater public Interest In
the enterprise and a meeting was called yes
terday afternoon to be held last evening In
the ollleo of Attorney Tlnley , the legal ad
viser of the company.
Aill of the members of the construction
company , the corporation named In the ordl-
ranco , to receive the grant of the proposed
charter , were present nt the meeting. The
session lasted until after 10 o'clock. The
members realized that it was necessary to
take some aggressive action to arouse the
voters to a realization of the Importance of
getting out a vote that will bear some
respectable proportions to the size of the
total vote of the city. There was no fear
that the proposition would cot he carried ,
but the anxiety lay in the fact that the
public Indifference might not give the ex
tension piano the cordial endorsement the
company would like to have. A big ma
jority In favor of the ordinance will ma
terially help the financial agents of the com
pany to dispose of the bonds at favorable
prices. It was decided to do a little bit of
energetic missionary work In the next few
days. Copies of the ordinance will ho
printed and scattered broadcast over the
city , and some meetings will foe held in the
various precincts for the purpose of ex
plaining the ordinance to any who may have
a iwrcng conception of it.
Today -will he the Met day of the registra
tion , and the boards of icgl&trars will be
found at the usual p'aces from S o'clock this
morning until 9 tonight , ready to make any
additions or corrections to the lists of voters
that may bo called for.

J. J. O'Shay , who announced that he was
born In Cork and was a near relative of
Captain O'Shay of Parnell memory , has been
obliged to stand up before Night Captain
Maltby a couple of times within the last
twenty-four hours. Ho was picked up loto
Thursday night In a < iappy state of intoxica
tion and given a comfortable bed in the row
of steels bunks behind the Iron doors in the
city building. Ho was arraigned at the ses
sion of thp police court yesterday morning
and a most interesting colloquy with Judge
McGIiee took place. O'Shay lest his rlglit
arm at the elbow and his left arm Is par
alyzed and useless and the court was curious
to know how the man made a living and
managed to hold Hie glass of whisky to his
lips whllo ho drank.
"Beg for a living your honor , and get
somebody to 'help ' mo drink. "
"What do jou mean by getting help to
drink ? " inquired the court.
The cripple explained that ho managed to
get his money out and on the counter arU
Hio bartender would hold the glass of whisky
to his lips whllo ho drank. The court endeav
ored to Inducei him to give the name of the
bartender who was SB kind , but the man res
olutely refused. Ho was discharged with an
admonition to keep away from the saloons
und pass en as soon as possible. Two hours
later he was returned to the jail enjoying a
jag of larger proportions than ever. "I want
to show hlzzoncr that all the boys In town will
iielp mo drink and I can get more whisky
down mo without the use of my arms than
other mon can with both hands and a quart
ctip. " He will tell Judge McGee all about It
this morning. (

DD3 MOINBS , iNov. 20. ( Special Tele
gram. ) The democratic state central com-
mlttco held a meeting here today to settle
up the financial affairs of the last campaign
and discuss future arrangements. The finan
cial report Indicated a. total deficit of
fl.703.S7 , which , divided up among the con
gressional districts , gave about $160 for
each. Each commlttecman agreed to raise
that amount In. . his own district. The con
gressional campaign of next year was dis
cussed at some length 'and It was agreed
that an early and vigorous campaign should
ho carried on.
Several pretty definite announcements wore
made today regarding Governor-elect Shaw's
appointments. It Is officially given out that
J. D. IMcGarraugh of Des iMolncs will be
made custodian of the State house. 'Ho ' is
brother-in-law of Congressman Hull , and
his appointment has stirred up n great com
motion. The announcement is also made
that W. U. Oblencss will not be made
labor commissioner again.He lias been
supported by the organized labor of the state ,
and his supporters feel that the pledge to
McQarraugh was the real thing In , the way
of Obleness , both being Polk county mon.
Today delegations called on Congressman
Hull and endeavored to convince him of his
error , but ho would not be moved. Johnson
Urlgham will not be made state librarian ;
the governor-elect in a letter announces as
much. Neither will W. J. Boardman , pres
ent Incumbent , be made dairy commissioner
again. S. L. Gates of ( Manchester will have
the position. John U. Prime of Des Molnes
is still In the lead for adjutant general , and
the decision against Obleness and Brlgham
is considered to make his appointment safe.
The Polk county factions are In arms over
the day's developments , and the trjublcs
will bo carried Into city and congressional
politics.
Iowa 1'rc-sH Comment.
DCS Molnes Leader : As It Iowa's example
were not warning enough , Illinois has con
cluded to have a tpe Ial session or Its legis
lature.
DCS Molncs Leader : Mr. Funk claims to
alrcadv have enough votes pledged to elect
him speaker. His opponents assert , however ,
that ho Is counting several chickens the eggs
of which have net yet even gone Into the
incubator.
Ottumwa Courier : ' Harry Evans came to
town last night. He Is a son-in-law of Gen
eral Weaver , and also cares for the "gln-
eral's" congressional boom. Ho is being
watched with assiduity by representatives of
Mr. Burgess. Go It , boys , but let the
Courleq warn you that It Is all "Love's Labor
Lost. "
Keokuk Gate City : A number of Des
Molucs church ladies were asked by a min
ister In that city ta-say what a model hus
band ehould be. Not one ot them said he
should bo a man oftealth or note. The key
note of their answers was that he should beef
of a kindly disposition , with power to make
DCTRlstent efforts to succeed , and have un
bounded faith In the Lord. Keokuk has Its
full quota of that kind , cff men.
Creston Gazette : Tho'new state librarian
will not be a woman , that much Is settled by
Governor-elect Shaw , and -that he will bo a
man in every way qualified for the place we
have every reason to hcpo. If the editor ol
the Midland Monthly , Mr. Johnson Brigham ,
Is appointed to the' place 'an event that Is
icgardcd as more than probable there Is no
question but that the next state librarian will
possess merit equal to all requirements.
Waterloo Courier : One ot the suggestions
for the next legislature to act on is that
a law bo passed for the leaning of public
funds. It Is claimed that frequently large
balances are being carried alcng in banks by
school district , city or county and no return
received. In some states such a law bas
been found to work satisfactorily. Wo have
never read a law of the k'lnd. ' but a little
Interest would count little against the loss or
Jeopardizing ot the principal. It will bo
found true , we think , that the balances
w.ilch could draw Interest , like mllllcualrca'
fortunes , are estimated much larger than
actual experience will corroborate.

SAN FRANCISCO , Nov. 2C. The Roths
childs , through the San Francisco houao of
Liebes & Co. , are about to enter the Alaskan
trade. Four steamers are being built In sec
tions by W. H , Brick & . Co. , the ownera of
the California Machine works. When this
contract is fulfilled the machinery and tim
bers will bo sent to Dutch Harbor , near Una-
lahka , to bo sot up. The firm will then build
nine barges In sections to follow the material
for steamboat building and the barges will
likewise bo put together at Dutch Harbor.
All of this work Is being done for the
Alaska Exploration company , which was In
corporated about four months ago , with a
capital of $1,000,000. Isaac Liebes In speak
ing of this project , said that It Is proposed
to have the steamers and bargca ready for
business when the ice breaks In the Yukon
In June. Ho said that the Rothschilds are
Interred In the venture , which was ar
ranged In London five months ago , and there
Is probably unlimited capital behind It. Be
sides doing a general transportation business

LOUISVILLE. Nov. 20. A special from
Atulorson , IuJ. , to the evening Post says ;
Chesterfield , Inil. , was almost wiped oft the
map at an early hour this morning toy the
explosion of eighty quarts of nltro-glycerlno
which had been brought overland from
Montpoller nnd placed In nn. open field , a
half mile from the town. Marlon Mariscy
and Sam Magulro were working at n gas well
near by when the explosion occurred.
Mansoy v > ns thrown fifty feet , but not fatally
Injured. Magulrc was also thrown 100 feet
In the air anil badly lacerated , but will re
cover. James Gold's house , 300 yards distant ,
was torn to pieces. The explosion tore a
hole In the ground down to the water line ,
and so far ns Is learned It was spontaneous.
A throe-ton cnglno was torn to fragments
and every living animal near It wa.i Killed
Instantly. The little town of Chesterfield Is
a mass of rulnfl. every house was moved from
Its foundation , windows shattered , doors
smafhol In , every light put out and the
plastering shaken from the walls. Several
people were shaken out of bed. At Oalcs-
vllle , two miles away , nnd nt Yarktown , flvo
miles distant , the damage wns almost as
groat. Many people were Injured and It U
a miracle that none were killed outright.
The Jar of the explosion was felt for
fifteen miles In all directions. The gas In
the well was blown out nnd a workman
named Cooper lit It and caused another ex
plosion In which ho was fatally burned. The
damage cannot bo estimated.

CLAYTON , N. M. . Nov. 20. A prairie fire
Is sweeping over the country south of this

boon no rain for weeks. The course of the
flro Is through the great cattle range bolt
and for over 2CO miles there Is no barrier In
Its path. The wind Is blowing very hard
frcm the north.
Thousands of sheep are In danger and are
being rushed to places of safety. Should the
wind change tn the south , which Is now In
dicated by clearing skies , the danger will not
bo so great , otherwise there Is no estimating
the probable destruction. So far only two
ranches have J > een destroyed , but tnauy are

WHY SO MANY REGULAR PHYSICIANS FAIL
To Cure Pomalo His Some True Reasons Why
Mrs. Pinkham is More Successful Than
the Family Doctors
A woman is sick ; some disease peculiar to her
sex is fast developing in her system. She goes
to her family phj-sician and tells him a
story , but uot the whole story.
Shcholdssomcthingbaclc , loses her head ,
becomes agitated , forgets what she wants
to say , and finally conceals what she ,
ought to have told , and thus completely
mystifies the doctor.
Is it any wonder1 , therefore , that
the doctor fails to cure the disease ? |
Still , we cannot blame the wo
man , forit is very embarrassing
to detail some of the symp
toms of her suffering , even to/1
her family physician.
It was for this reason that
years ago Mrs. Lydia E. Pink-
ham , at Lynn , Mass. , determined to step in and help her sex. Having liad consid
erable experience in treating female ills with her Vegetable Compound , hhe en
couraged the women of America to write to her for advice in regard to their
complaints , and , being a woman , it was easy for her ailing sisters to pour into
her ears every detail of their buffering.
In this way she wns able to do for them what the physicians were unable
to do , simply because she had the proper information to work upon , and
from the little group of women who sought her advice years ago a great
army of her fellow-beings are to-day constantly applying for ndvico nnd re
lief , and the fact that more than one hundred thousand of them have been
successfully treated by Mrs. Pinkham during the last year is indicative of
the grand results which are produced by her uncqiialed experience and
training.
No physician in the world has had such a training , or has snch an amount
of information at hand to assist in the treatment of all kinds of female ills ,
from the himplcst local irritation to the mo.stcomplicatcd diseases of the womb.
This , therefore , is the reason why Mrs. Pinkham , in her laboratory at
Lynn , Mass , is able to do more for the ailing women of America than tlio
family physician. Any woman , therefore , is responsible for her own biiu'crlug
who will not take the trouble to write to Mrs. Pinkham for advice. O
The testimonials which wo are constantly publishing from grateful women
establish beyond a doubt the power of Lydia K. Plukham's Vegetable Com
pound to conquer female diseases ,

It is not Kood policy to overwork , but tha
man who looks after hi * health can stand a
great deal of it. The man who neglects his
health la soon unrated fnr work. When
man's digestion is disordered nnd hU bowels -
els nre irrepulnr , his blood becomes li-.iputa
nnd the body is badly nourished. The vic
tim of these conditions suffers from braitt
fug , nervous prostration , nnd debility , and
eventually falls a victim to consumption.
Dr. Tierce's Golden Medical Discovery
corrects the digestion , invinotatcs the liver ,
improves the appetite nnd rcpulatcs the
bowels. It is the best blood-purifier , blood ,
