Marriage is said to be an equal partner
ship. But the kind of a one-aded part tier-
ship it real
ly is , can
not be better -
. ter express-
'ed ' than in
that old
wife should
double her
husband's
joys and
halve hid Borrows. "
That's -what is expected
of a wife , and the won
der of the world is that
she comes so closely to
expectation * Tor as a
nile from the time of
marriage onward , her body is daily
drained of strength and her mind daily
burdened by carea. She lies on the
couch , her back aching , from female
trouble , and gets up and puts on a smil
ing face to meet her husband.
Marriage can only be an equal partner
ship when the drains and strains of mar
ried life of the woman can be replaced
by the perfect health of the delicate
womanly organs. No woman need suf
fer with inflammation , ulceration , debili
tating drains or female trouble. There's
on absolute euro for all these in Doctor
Plerce'B Favorite Prescription. It makes
life u pleasure , does away with morning
sickness , and makes the baby's advent
easy ana almost painless.

MYSTERY IU3MAINS UNSOLVED.
No Cine to the Identity at the Floater
Fottnil on Sunday ,
Tfao Inquest lield yesterday over the body
of the unknown man found In the river near
j the Union Pacific bridge Sunday morning
failed to develop anything that would glvo
a clue to the Identity of the man or the
mntmer In which tie came to his death. The
only evidence forthcoming was as to the
finding of Lho body and the Jury , . .consist
ing of E. E. Adorns , H. P. Officer and R. T.
I Monfort , brought in the following verdict :
"Ooccosod came to his death by means
which we cannot determine. "
The witnesses examined wore Joseph
Trocek and son of Omaha , who first dis
covered the body ; Ofllcor D. L. Weir and j
Dr. Waterman , who performed an autopsy
on the remains at the cemetery. Hlo testi
mony \voa to the effect that there were no
wounds apparent about1 the head which
would have caused death , but that many
other parts of the body -were so badly
decomposed that oven if wounds had existed
they could not have been noticed. In cutting - I
ting through the scalp , Dr. Waterman said
the condition of the blood indicated that the
man had not been d od for any very great )
length of time. Ho gave it as his opinion ,
that the man had probably been dead about ,
three -weeks and not longer. The testimony ,
of Joseph Trecek and his son , who , while !
fishing on this side of the river , discovered
tho'body , throw no light upon the mystery , ]
as It was confined entirely to the finding of
the corpse. Ofllcor Wolr's evidence was In
the some line.
A further examination of the body yester
day disclosed the fact that the hands were
encased in canvaa gloves , such as com
monly worn by laboring men. The pollca
are of the opinion that the man was tha
victim of foul play and that he was killed ,
probably by being sandbagged , and then
thrown In the river from the bank. The
fact that tha man was wearing house ellp-
pera and gloves they believe contradicts the
theory of suicide , as a man intending to
drown himself and make tie job sure by
tying a weight around his neck would not
wear gloves while tying the rope.
The condition of the head wan euca that
If the man had been killed by sandbagging
the marks of the blow would not be ap
parent unless tha skull had been crushed.
No such signs-were found t y Dr. Waterman.
The body , after being viewed by the jury
yesterday morning , was taken to the cemetery -
tery , where tlbo autopsy was held , the in
quest being adjourned until the afternoon
to allow of the introduction of Dr. Water
man's testimony. The autopsy settled the
question that the body was that of a whlta
man and not of a , negro , as , at first sup *
posed * * .1 *

DES MOINES , Aug. 28. ( Special Telo
gram. ) The state central committee of th
people's party will meet here tomorrow
afternoon. Secretary A. W. Rlcker of Lon
Tree arrived today and the committee wl !
arrange for the state convention which wtl
bo hold here tomorrow. Delegates are com
Ing Into the city tonight and the cotnmltte
expects a full attendance.
"Hon. 0. 0. Lloyd of Muscatlne county
will probably bo the candidate of the part ;
for governor again this year , " said Secre
tary Rlcker. "Ho was the candldale of the
party for the same position two years ago
and made a good fight. That section of the
etato will present his name to the conven
tion again this year and there Is every
probability that he will be nominated. For
the other positions no candidates have as
yet been mentioned. In the platform of the
party the war question will be the main
Issue. There Is no use on earth for the
democrats to try to make the money ques
tlon the issue. The people don't care a rap
about frco silver this year. They are in
terested in the war question , however , am
that is the Issue we are going .to emphasize
What as more , we are going to make the
campaign on our own merits and will nebo
bo tied up to any one. Wo expect a big
convention Wednesday. "
General Byera received a letter from
Colonel J. C. Leper of the Fifty-first regi
ment this morning. It was dated July 1' '
and was in regard to the vote taken on the
matter of place of mustering out. Only two
of the men voted for Dos Moines and the ) '
had enlisted In San Francisco and woul <
not receive any travel pay home. The trave
pay Is' a matter of considerable Importance
to the' men , the letter stated , and they are
not willing to give it up. Colonel Leper
said there was but slight possibility of the
regiment being home in September. Since
I his letter was written the possibility has
I lengthened , to November. General Byers
said this morning he was receiving letters
and messages every day from people who
wanted to go to San Francisco to accom
pany the boys home. The prospects are
now for a large party accompanying the
governor and staff. The time of going stll
remains indefinite. A special train will
( bring the Iowa boys home.
This was the largest Monday in the his
tory of the state fair. The railroads brought
In 12,000 and the attendance was 14,000. This
evening the Des Moines auditorium , which
was completed In the nick of time for the
state convention , was dedicated. Its seat
ing capacity of 4,000 was not large enough
to hold the crowd.
