CUMMINS' MEN FAIL TO MOVE HIM Chairman H'enter Announce llnte of (die I'nre for Itotiml Trip tit Cednr ltnilils mi Account of .State Con eiitlmi. Hon. John Herrlott of Stuart, who Is re garded as Mr. Cummins' most formidable opponent for tho republican nomination for governor, was In Council Bluffs yestenmy for a short time on his way homo from Dcs Moines. During his brief stay lu tho city ho won In conference with a number of his leading supporters and delegates to the stato convention. Mr. Herrlott wns feeling confident and said ho bollevcd his chances wero growing brighter every day. While In Des Molnts Monday Mr. Herrlott was called upon by a number of Mr. Cummins' supporters, who sought to Induce him to withdraw from tho raco and becomo a rcceptlvo cnndldate for lieutenant govornor. Mr. Herrlott said he declined to entertain any such proportion and his friends refused even to discuss any such probability. "I am u candidate for the nomination and have not the slightest Intention of with drawing, however much Mr. Cummins friends might llko me to do so," said Mr. Herrlott. "I believe my candidacy Is grow ing and my friends are feollng most con lldent." One of Mr. Herrlott's leading supporters In this city, discussing the efforts being made to lnduco Mr. Herrlott to withdraw as candidate for governor, said: "With the following that Mr. Herrlott Is assured In tho stato convention tt Is nonsense to ex pect that he would nt this time for a mo ment consider such a proposition as to withdraw with a view to .being given the nomination for lieutenant governor as the price for so doing. In ray opinion tho Cum mins men overestimate tbelr strength. If the nntl-Cummlns delegates In the state convention can be Induced to rally around Herrlott, ho cannot fall to get the nomina tion. In my opinion unlet Mr. Cummins re ceives tho nomination by the second ballot he will not get It nt all. I look forward to a lively convention with one of tho most ex. citing contests seen In this stato for years."

The controversy relates chiefly lo tho manner of binding stale books and pamphlets. Mr. Young, In his reply, states that the book keepers "discovered the alleged repayment by Interpreting the code In their own pecu liar way; different from the construction given the law by tho secretary of state, his deputies ami experts In binding; different from the usages of the office ; different from the construction of the legislative committee that examined the work nnd prices of tho state binder only two years ngo." Mr. Young cotuplnlns of the report of tho examiners on the ground that they went beyond their duty ns accountants ami undertook to decide points of law and mat ters of expert binding. In conclusion ho says: "The character of the work done was beyond criticism. They object only to prices. I bound the bonks for the state as I was ordered and not ac cording to my pleasure, ns their report Im plies. I never took the responsibility of de termining the style of binding of n slngln volume. .1 cither found my directions In tho code or received them from executive offi cers of the stato.

Inasmuch as you have referred their report to the at torney general for his opinion wo will not tnko up your attention further, but will hand to him evidence In legal form proving that our work wos ln compliance with law." The council hns directed tho attorney general to make a report and If deemed proper, commence suit to recover for the state tho amount of the alleged overcharges. Tho attorney general has been out of the city some days, but will soon tnko up the case. (iraiid Army Itnte.

The system uiust be relieved of the unhealthy matter through the sore, nnd grent danger to life would follow should it heal before the blood haa been made pure nnd healthy and all impurities eliminated from the sys tem. S.S.S. begins the cure by first cleans ing and invigorating the blood, building tin the general health and removing from u JiVn OOHSfANT DRAIN etemMfer: UPON THE SYSTEM. When this I1.13 been accomplished the dis charge gradually ceases, and the sore or ulcer heals. It is the tendency of these old indolent 8orc3 to grow worse and worse, and eventually to destroy the bones. Local applications, while soothing aud to conic extent alleviate pain, cannot reach the seat of the trouble b. S.

It supplies the rich, pure blood necessary to heal the sore and nourish the debilitated, diseased body. Mr. J. D.
