Nutnliintcd for Uovornor.
Des Moines, In., Aug. 22. Democrats
of Iowa In state convention yesterday
nominated the following ticket: Gov
ernor, Thomas J. Phillips, of Ottum
wa; lieutenant governor, 0. K. Fergu
son, of Logan; judge of the supreme
court, John Shortley, of Dallas coun
ty; Bur rintendcnt of schools, W. P.
Tohnsoii, of Carroll; railroad commis
sioner, A. C. Bricc, of Bedford. The
platform reaffirms tho national plat
form adopted in 1000 at Kansas Clfy
and contains a plank on state issues
demanding reform in taxation laws,
repeal of the mulct liquor law and en
actment of a local option law. The
chief contest in tho convention was
on the adoption of the plotform.
The struggle began in the district
caucus held before tho convention as
sembled in the morning. The anti
silver forces succeeded in naming n
majority of the committee on resolu
tions. There was a protracted ses
sion of the committee and in the
afternoon a majority nnd two mi
nority reports were submitted to the
convention. Tho majority report ig
nored national issues entirely, con
fining itself exclusively to state mal-
tors. The ilrst minority report
agreed with the majority report, ex
cept in a preamble which reaillrmed
the Kansas City platform. The second
minority report differed from each
of the others in its preamble only,
which set out that state issues were
paramount .in this campaign. The
minority report reaffirming the Kan
sas City platform was' adopted on the
call of the roll by counties amid much
confusion by CG9tf to 550ys.

Washington, Aug. 22. The census
bureau has issued a bulletin giving
the mortality statistics during the
census year in the states and territo
ries 'and the principal registration
cities. The total number of d.-aths re
ported for the year was 1,030,004, as
against 841,419 for 1890. Perhaps the
most important feature of the results
presented is found in the decrease in
the general death rate in this regis
tration area of 1.8 per 1,000 of popula
tion, a decrease of nearly ten per cent.
The average age at death in 1890 was
" 31.1 years; in 1900 it was 115.2 years.
Among tho totals in the various
states and territories for 1900 arc the
following: Indian territory, 5,280;
Iowa, 19,573; Kansas, 10,201; Missouri,
38,034; Nebraska, 8,204; Oklahoma,
3,181.
St. Joseph, Mo., with a death rate
of 9.1 per 1,000 shows the lowest mor
tality. Kansas Citjs death rate for
1900 is 17.4; St. Louis, 17.9.

A story is told of an English clergy
man who owed his appointment to a
rich living to a lucky pun, says tho
New York Tribune. He was tutor to
the son of a nobleman and had not
long taken orders when he attended
the funeral of the rector of the par
ish in which the nobleman's seat was
situated.
The father of his pupil was patron
of the living and was lso present at
the funeral of the deceased rector.
There was a J'oung clergyman pres
ent also whose grief was so demon
strative that the noble patron wns
much affected by the sight and asked
if tho young man was u son of the
deceased gentleman.
"Oh, dear no, my lord no relation
at all," said the tutor.
"No relation!" exclaimed the noble
mnn in & surprised tone.
"None, my lord; ho is the curate
and I think he is not weeping for tho
dead, but for the living."
Ills lordship, who was something of
a wit and a cynic himself, was so de
lighted with the bon mot that he con
ferred tho living upon the rcudy
punster.

Wallace, Mich., August 2Gth: A
striking example of 11 man's dutiful
nnd attentive care of his mother is
seen in Mr. Oscar Swanson of Ibis
place.
Mr. Swanson's mother has suffered
much with Kidney und Urinal Trouble
and Female Weakness. Her son has
sought out and procured for her
everything that he thought could pos
sibly benefit her.
She did not improve, till at last, he
bought her a box of Dodd's Kidney
Pills. In a few days, she was com-
pletely cured, and her faithful son
has the reward for his loving efforts,
in tlje knowledge thnt she is now

DEAD LIVER
He thinks he lives, but he's a dead
one. No person is really alive whose
liver is dead. During the winter
most people spend nearly all their time
in warm, stuffy houses or offices or
workshops. Many don't get as much
exercise as they ought, and everybody
knows that people gain weignt in
winter. As a rule it is not sound
weight, but means a lot of flabby fat
and useless, rotting matter staying in
the body when it ought to have been
driven out. But the liver was over
burdened, deadened stopped work There
you are, with a dead liver, and spring is the
time for resurrection. Wake up the dead!
Get all the filth out of your system, and get
ready for the summer's trials with clean, clear blood, body, brain free from bile. Force
is dangerous and destructive unless used in a gentle persuasive way, and the right plan
is to give new strength to the muscular walls of the bowels, and stir up the liver to new
life and work with CASCARETS, the great spring cleaner, disinfectant and bowel tonic
