dhy sending out the poll books to the sev-
preoioet .committeemen,- aaldi "While
there fa apparently no need for any great
campalgr 'ig .thla year, It hus been thought
best to. bold -meetings In all of the towns
throughout the county before the close of
the campaign. These Tallica, however, ' will
be conllned to the towns and there will be
no township meetings, according to pres
ent plans. I am arranging for a number
of prominent, speakers , for. these rallies
and they will be so divided as to Include
the entire county.' Vice Presidential Can
didate Fairbanks should be given a royal
reception on his way through Council Bluffs
next month, and I hope to arrange for a
rousing meeting; that morning at the North
western depot. , i.had hoped to. have -Mr.
Fairbanks stop over here long enough to
make an addreaa In the opera house or
soma other convenient place, but I have
been advised that .thla could not be ar
ranged. X have the assurance, however,
that Mr. : Fairbanks will atop long enough
at the depot on passing through to make
an addreaa from hla car or the depot plat
form. I am alflo making orrangementa for
one big rally In Council Bluffs the first
week In November, which In all probability
will be held at the opera house. The state
central committee la naturally besieged for
speakers from all parts of the state, but .1
have strong hopes of securing one or more,
speakers of national prominence for thla
meeting. This meeting will be the grand
closing rally of the campaign and nothing
will be left undone on the part of the
county central committee to make it a
rousing climax to the campaign.".

J Miss Gannon, Secy Detroit Amateur
Miss Gannon, Secy Detroit Amateur
Art Association, tells
do to avoid pain and suffering caused by
female troubles.
Dear Mrs. Pinkham s I can conscientiously recommend Lydla 13b
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound to those of my sisters Buffering with
female weakness and the troubles which so often befall women. I Buf
fered for months 'with ceneral weakness, and felt so weary that I had
hard work to keep up. I had shooting pains, and was utterly miserable.
In my distress I was advised to use Lydia E. Pinkliam's Vegetable
Compound, and it was a red letter day to me when I took tho first dose,
for at that time my restoration began. In six weeks I was a changed
woman, perfectly well in every respect. I felt no elated and happy that
I want all women who suffer to get well as I did." Miss Guila Gaknon,
859 Jones St, Detroit, Mich., Secretary Amateur Art Association.
It Is clearly shown In this young lady's letter that Lydla E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound will certainly euro the sufferings
of women ; and when one considers that Miss Gannon's letter is
only one of the countless hundreds which we are continually
Eublishiiiiir in the newspapers of this country, the great virtue of Mrs. Pink
atn's medicine must be admitted by all ; and for the absolute cure of all kinds
of female ills no substitute can possibly take its place. Women should bear
this important fact in mind when they go into a druff Store, and be sure not
to accept anrthin)? that is claimed to be " just as good " as Lydia E. Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound, for no other medicine for female ilia has
made so many actual cures.
How Another Sufferer Was Cured.
Dear Mrs. Pixkham: I cannot praise your wonderful remedies
enough, for they have done me more good than all the doctors I have
had. For the last eight years and more I suffered with female troubles,
was very weak, could not do my housework, also had nervous pros
tration. Some days I would remain unconscious for a whole day and
night. My neighbors thought I could never recover, but, thanks to
your medicine, I now foel liko a different woman.
. M I feel very grateful to you and will recommend Lydia E. Pink
ham's Vegetable Comiound to all. It has now leen four years since
I had the last spell of nervous prostration. I only weighed ninety
eight pounds at that time ; now I weigh one hundred and twenty-three.
"I consider your Vegetable Compound the finest remedy made.
Thanking you many times for the benefit I received from your medicine,
I remain, Yours truly, Mus. J. II. Farmer, 2809 Elliott Ave, St. Louis, Mo.
RememlKr Mrs. Pinkham's advice is free nnd all sick women
are foolish if they do not nsk for it. 8he speaks from the widest
experience, and lias helped multitudes of women.

Interior Minister Bvlatopolk-Mlrsky a re
ception hero today upon his arrival from
Vtlna was In the nature of an ovation, both
at the railroad station and at the ministry
of the Interior. A great deal Is expected of
him by the public and by the newspapers.
While the liberal expressions contained In
his Interview with the correspondent of the
Associated Press at Vllna on Friday were
not published here, hla statements to both
the representatives of Russian press and
the deputation of Jews at Vllna Saturday,
have served to Increase the favorable Im
pression created by his appointment. ,
The hope of much genuine accomplish
ment la based on the knowledge that the
prince comes Into power enjoying to a pecu
liar degree the confidence of the emperor.
Sweeping changes In the ministry of the
Interior are anticipated. Little of the
Plehve regimes Is expected to survive.
The police department, It Is understood.
will be entirely separated Into a ministry
and Count Bhouvaloff. the former prefect
of police of Odessa, will become the chief
of the Independent department. M. Stur-
roer, the under secretary of the Interior,
who was Von Plehve e chief assistant, has
already been promoted out of the ministry
to the council of the empire. M. Vatazsl,
former governor of Ekaterlnoslav, It Is now
said, will succeed M. Durnovo aa under
secretary In eharge of posts and telegraphs.

The Noyostl, referring this morning to tha
frlenly by Prince Sviatopolk-Mirsky, for
merly governor general of Vllna and
now Russian minister of the Interior, of
newspaper representatives at Vllna, aaya:
"It hns been a long time since Ruaslan
JournnllHts have heard such favorable
words from such a high source. The Rus
sian newspapers have long been watching
with admiration, not unmtxad with envy,
the growth In power and prestige of tha
press In foreign countries; where the news
paper plays such an important part In
moulding not only political, but general,
opinion.
"The kind words of Prince Bvlatopolk
Mlrsky will not, of course, Immediately
raise Russian Journalism to the high plane
of its foreign contemporaries, though It
gives ground for brighter hopes. Everyone,
however, must remember that It Is useless
to expect anything In the way of real use
fulness of the present Russian press while
It Is bound by the restriction of the censor
ship. The only condition under which It
can really rise to greatrress and be an ef
fective, powerful ally of the government Is
a condition of absolute freedom."

They are far too common In America,
