by ThoiiMii nils.
WAIIOO. Neb., Sept. 1. To tho Editor of
Tho Hco: My round trip through the
Swedish settlements of Nebrasku showed
mo that thero will bo quite n general re
turn to the grand old party by the citizens
of that nationality. It was, I thluk, In
main tho anti-monopoly mdveraent that
forced them out of their old party. The
defalcations by several republican olllcers
of course Increased tho stampede. Hut an
now a prominent anti-monopoly man has
announced himself ns a candidate for
United States senator nnd that ho will
nbldo by tho people's direct decision at
tho primaries, It seems thnt a very largo
percentago of old Swedish-American repub
licans who havo voted with tho fuslonists
nro getting back. They begin to lose con
fidence in the ultimate success of populism
nnd tho republican party being purged
whllo out of ofllco in Nobraska, Is gaining
in tho confidence of this people They
want neither corrupt olllcinls nor monopoly
control of politics or of the government.
Of imperialism they of courso do not
want anything, nor do they like largo
standing nrmles. Hut they think that tho
agitation this fall Is for campaign pur
poses pure nnd simple, nnd as Such do not
tako much stock In them. They nro well
pleased with the position of the adminis
tration on tho Chinese question, but do not
like tho affairs In the Philippines. Thoy
say, however, that another administration
might probably bo compelled to tako tho
snmo measures. They all feel keenly the
blow Russia dealt Finland and very na
turally disliko anything thnt oven boars n
faint semblance to oppression. They aro
ull pro-lloer, but do not bellevo that tho
United States should go to war with Eng
land on account of tho South African re
publics. They nro organizing Swedish-American
republican clubs In their larger settle
ments. Hut they do not favor a soparate
state organization for tho sake of gaining
political pull or prestige. Their nlleglance
to the republican party has always been
very strong until of Into years, and as
nffalrs within tho party nro getting better
and the present republican ndmluUtratlnn
hns brought better times, and tho needed
administrative, legislative and social re
forms can best be carried Into effect by n
conservative party, the Swedlsh-Amerlpan
voters In the fusion ranks will soon bo few
and far between.
If other communities nro llko those I
visited, I feel safo In predicting that Ne
braska will go for McKlnley this fall. And
It seems that the Ilrynn forces are getting
weaker as tlmo llles. McKlnley's majori
ties will evidently bo much larger than
they were last time, and after election,
when wo wonder how It happoned, we all
will say. "Prosperity did It." Yours for
prosperity. S. M. HILL.

WONDER AT NERVE OF STARK
Treasury Officials Dumbfounded at the
Nebraska Congressman s Conduct.
BOLD MISREPRESENTATION OF THE FACTS
Attorney for nn Insurnncr ominnj,
He I nilcrtiiUc to MnUo mpltiil for
Ills I'u r I li ClreiilutliiB n
I'lilur Impression.
WASHINGTON. Sept. 6 (Special Tele
gram.) Representative Stark, who was In
Washington Inst week attempting to get
a decision from Internal Revenue Collec
tor Wilson which would nbsolve the Ne
braska Mutual Life Insurance company of
Stromsburg from the payment of the tax
on policies Imposed upon the schedule of
the war revenue Inw, hfld n dispatch
printed In the World-Herald, which has
shown to what extent even congressmen
will go to secure re-election.
Representative Stark took occasion In
the dispatch sent out to secure publication
of a statement to the effect that his ef
forts were not confined to tho Interests of
the Nebrnskn Mutual Life Insurance com
pany, but that they affected all fraternal
and mutual life Insurance compnnles of the
country ns well. It Is asserted further that
the decision would have direct benrlng
upon mutual life insurance companies nnd
beneficiary societies of nil kinds, the Infer
ence being that Stark, while representing
ns Its nttorney the Nebraska company men
tioned, also spoke for such organizations
as the United Workmen, Modern Wood
men. Royal Arcanum nnd similar societies.
which do n purely fraternal business. The
fact of the matter Is that the war revenue
act Is clear and specific In exempting, first,
fraternal nnd bcnellclnry societies and or
ders; second, farmers, purely local co-operative
companies and associations, and,
third, employes' relief associations.
StnrL's Coiupnny I AITecteil.
The Nebraska company which employed
Mr. Stark to look after Its Interests Is
anld to be a dividend payinti concern and
consequently is not exempted under the
law. A decision upon his petition for the
revision of the ruling Is not yet forlhcom
Ing, but in response to a communication
from representatives of the National Fra
ternal Congress, recently In session In llos
ton, asking whether any action hnd been
taken during the month of August affect
Ing taxation of policies or certificates Is
sued by such fraternal societies, the Treus
urdcpartment has Just replied that the
Internal revenue olllre has taken no such
action and thnt the otlko has always ruled
that such organizations nro exempted under
the law, nor Is It the purpose of the depart
tnent, nor has It over been, to Impose a tax
of any kind upon such policies.
Mr. Stark's attempt to make It appear
that he has been working In the Interest
of fraternal organizations la evidently a
political move designed to convey the im
pression to the members of such nrganlzn
Hons In the west that the law ns Inter
preted by the present administration taxes
their policies. Such an Inference Is ab
solutely without foundation, but Is In line
with the methods adopted by members of
Stark's party lo misrepresent the admin
1st ration In such matters.

THE T0RN0F LIFE.
Its Probable Effect on Women's
Health and Happiness.
Women look with apprehension upon that
time generally known as the "change of
life." Observation has shown them that
fometlmcs that change Is to far-reaching
that It Involves both mind and body In suf-
ferlrg. At such n tlmo the mirror sometimes
shows great changes Hi the face, changfs
which mnrk the pain and surferlng which
are being endured Often too. In these
lolorous days there is almost completo phys
ical collnpse. The suffering woman drops
Into a chair and with dosed eyes struggles
against her weakness. The suffering of this
critical period In woman's life often leaves
Its lasting scars on the mind ns well ns tho
body. This time of trial nnd trouble has
been passed In ease nml happiness by women
who had learned tho wonderful valuo of
that woman's medliltie. Dr. Pierce's Fa
orlte Prescription. Hy the use of this rem
edy THE "CHANGE" IS CHANGED
ftnm n time of distress mid misery lo 11
time of comfort nnd happiness.
"It Is now two years since I first began
to use your mcdlrlncs," writes Mrs. Charles
E. Thompson, of Georgetown, Eldorado Co.,
Cal. "I Ilrst tried tho 'Favorite Prescrip
tion' nnd found that before 1 hnd taken ono
bottle I was Improving. When I commenced
to tako the medicine I thought 1 would never
llvo through tho change.' I suffered from
nil the troubles one could have nnd live. I
hnd stomach trouble; lived 011 dry bread and
hot water for llireo months, not being nblo
to keep any food on my stomach; had con
stlpntlon and awful headaches; was bloated
at limes In the bowels, had pain In the chest
nnd hacking cough, but, thanks to Dr. Plerco
1 am not troubled any more. I used tho
'Pellets' nnd tho 'Golden Medical Discov
ery' in connection with "Favorite Prescrip
tion,' and Hnd nil of them Just ns Dr. Plerco
recommends them to be.
"Since last October I havo traveled over
hard, rocky roads In farm wagons, nnd felt
no return of any of my old troubles, nnd I
know that before using Dr. Pierce's medi
cines I could not nave stood half or it, ns
the least Jar would havo caused aching from
head to foot.
"I most highly recommend all of Dr.
Pierce's medicines, und I hope nil ladles
suffering from fomnle complaints will try
Dr. Pierce's Fnvorlto Prescription."
The claim made for Dr. Pierce's Favorlto
Prescription that It makes weak women
strong and sick women well Is a enmprehen-
slve oue and covers every form of womanly
weakness or slrkncss which medlclno can',nnd over 700 Illustrations, Is sent free on

ness Mothers find lu "Favorite Prescrip
tion" a wonderful tonic. Imparting great
phshal strength, promoting the appetite
and Inducing refreshing sleep. It keeps thn
j prospective mother In health and strength
and makes the baby's advent practically
painless.
CLAIMS VS. CURES.
It Is very much easier to make claims
than to make cures. It Is by Its cures
"Favorite Proscription" is to be Judged
and by the multiplied testimonies to these
cures given by the grateful women who
have been restored to pcrfttct health nnd
strength through the use of this great
medicine.
"About iHe years ago I had very poor
health." writes Mrs. S. E. Wtulcn. of
Hidden, Johnson Co., Mo. "After doctor
ing four years with our town doctors they
gave my case up. said they had done all
they could. 1 had been confined to my bed
half my time: the other halt could hardly
drag around. I hud such pains In my back
and nbdomen 1 could not staud on my feet
for more than a few minutes. My feet were
cold or burning, nnd my periods enme too
often. Tho doctors snld It was change of
life, so, as 1 had heard of Dr. Pierce's
medicines, my husband got me n bottle of
Favorite Prescription. ' I took It and It
helped me lu some ways, so 1 wrote to you
and followed your advice. I commenced
Favorite Prescription." 'Golden Medical
Discovery' nnd the 'Pleasant Pellets,' ns I
was so conitipated all the time and pills
would weaken me so that I would have
to go to bed. To the great surprise of
everybody I got well, nnd when I met my
friends they would sny 'I never thought
you would be hero now.' Hut I can say
It was your medicine, which no doubt Is
the best In the world. Have no use for
doctors since I tried our medicine."
Dr. Pierce's Fnvorlto Prescription Is
purely n vegetable preparation and cannot
disagree with the weakest constitution. It
cnntnlns no alcohol and Is absolutely free
from opium, cocaine, nnd nil other nar
cotics. Accept nn substitute for "Favorite Pre
scription" If you wish to be cured ns oth
ers have been. Insist upon the remedy
with 11 record for the cure of weak nud
sick women.
Women suffering from disease In chronic
form nro Invited tn consult Dr. Plerco by
letter, free. All correspondence Is held ns
strictly private nnd sacredly confidential
nnd the written confidences of women urn
guarded by the same strict professional
privacy observed In personal ennsultntlotiB.
