nirnt of Xormnl .Soliuol,
DI33 MOINES, April 17. (Special.) Tho
republican stato commlttco met this after
noon In accordance with the call of Chair
man Weaver and located tho next repub
lican stato convention nt Cedar Hapids.
Thero had been a lively fight on between
lies Moines and Cedar Hapids, or rather be
tween tho factions In tho party nnd their
respeotlvo candidates for olllce. Inasmuch
as Des Molneo Is tho homo ot Cummins and
Foster, two of tho candidates for governor,
nnd ot Bishop, ono of the candidates for
Judgo of the supreme court, nearly all tho
other candidates wero found to favor Cedar
Hapids, which has no candldnto for statu
olllce. When tho tlmo enmc for n reckon
ing on tho standing of the members of the
commlttco It was found that Committeeman
Leach ot tho Des Molnos district was for
Dcs Moines, and also Scott of the Eleventh,
Bruco of tbo Ninth and Phillips of tho Sec
ond. All tho others were opposed to bring
ing tho convention to Dcs Moines.
It had been expected by tho Dcs Molnus
pcoplo that Spcnco of the Eighth district
would be for this city nnd nlso Drug of the
Tenth district, but Spcnco this morning an
nounced ho would bo for Cedar Rapids nnd
that settled tho fate ot Dcs Molncs. It was
understood that Herrlott, candldnto for
governor from tho Ninth district, was
favorable to Dcs Molnca and Judgo Townor
ot tho Eighth district was not hostile.
Tho representatives of the two cities
prcsentod tn tho commlttco tho claim ot
both cities. Tho last two conventions held
In Cedar Hapids havo been tho cause of
much complaining on account of lack ot
facilities, but an auditorium has been built
nnd It Is claimed tho convention enn now
bo cared for much bettor than ever before.
Tho vote on locating tho republican con
vention at Cedar Hapids was 7 to 4. Tho
date will bo August 7. Following nrc tho
temporary officers selected: Chairman,
James C. Davis, Keokuk; secretory. A. M.
McColl, Woodward; assistant secretary, W.
A. Follett, Atlantic; reading clerk, S. C.
Piatt, Iowa Falls; assistant reading clerk,
E. R. HutchlnB, Des Moines; sergeant-nt-nrms,
J. C. Webster, Cresco; doorkeeper,
John M. Heed, Cedar Hapids.
Will lie ii 111k Convention.
Tho convention Is suro to bo one of tho
largest over held In tho state. The Inter
est In cnndldnclos wns never greater, nnd
besides tho Increasing republican voto In
tho state hat gieatly Increased tho number
ot delegates. On the samo basis us last
year tho number of delegates will bo 1.G47,
as against 1,301 last yenr. A convention
of nearly 1,700 delegates, In which prac
tically every county will bo represented In
full and many counties will havo alternates
as well, Is a hard convention to house and
to manage. Every county In tho stato will
have a greater number of delegates than
last year except -Muscatine, which showed
a falling off In the republican vote. Polk
county will have the lr.rgest number of del
egates, ralslug'frooi thirty-seven last year
tp sixty-four thjnjycar. Woodbury county
will havo thlr'ty-sU, against twcnty-flvo
last year. Pottawattamie Is raised from
twenty-seven to .thirty-four. Tho Increase
on tho old ratio by congressional districts

It Is learned here that contracts are to

Army l'ost I'lnna Slow,
Tho expectation of the local comml.teo
In charge of the ormy post work at Dcs
Moines has been disappointed at tho slow
ness with which work U being begun. It
was expected by tho commlttco that Inas
much as thero Is at the disposal ot the
War department n largo sum available for
Immediate uso the work on the sito of the
urmy poBt would be begun this month, but
thoro aro no Indications of any move In
that direction, and as far as can be learned
hero nothing is being done.
The title to tho property passed to the
United Slatts some timo ago and tho papers
were declared to be regular. But verbal
promises wero mado on behalf ot Des
Moines with respect to the extension of
water mains to tho elto for tho army pest,
four miles south, and these promises have
not been fulfilled. In fact, the committee
Is inclined to not extend tho water mains
but to compel the government to turnlsh
tho water supply at tho pest. This Is sup
posed to bo ona reason for the delay In
beginning work.

I thank you for tht benefit I received from your edvicr. and the Wine of Carilul I look.
In my terrible condition my lilt wa no pltasure to me at all and I wai of no ute to
anybody. Alter receiving your edvlce and medicine I commenced taklna it and betfan
Immediately to improve. The palm left me and the meniei, which eame at the correct
time, continued three days. I have gained strength and my weight has Increased. My
husband says the medicine lias made me better looking than ever before.

Womanly health means bright eyes, rosy cheeks, clear complexion and
elasticity of form. This is the youth unmeasured by years the beauty of per
fect womanhood. Beautiful women arc happier and get more out of life than
their sisters whose faces indicate suffering. Wine of Cardui made Mrs. Manncll
better looking" and infinitely happier because it cured her of those terrible
pains. But she is no exception.

What suffering can compare with the torture of irregular menstruation, leucorrhoea and falling of the
womb 1 Btauty flies quickly before the ravages of such disease. The sharp pains of falling of the
womb deepen the crow tracks in the face. Menstrual Irregularities rob the eye of its fire and the com
plexlon of Its transparency. Leucorrhoea drains the body of its strength, but Wine of Cardui restore
the natural beauty, brightens the eye, clears the complexion, rounds out the figure and brinfli back
the vigor of health, fcvery druggist in this city handles $1.00 bottles of Wine of Cardui.
