servative and businesslike administration
of Governor Shaw.
That wo hereby realllrm our nlleglance
nnd ndherencu to tho long established finan
cial and economic principles of tho re
publican parly.
The convention was called to order
promptly at 2 o'clock, the tlme named In
tho call, by Frank F, Evercut, chairman of
the county central committee, who named
M. F. Morton, editor of the Oakland Acorn
and Oeorgo Uruington of Carson temporary
chairman and secretary respectively. Later
on report of the committee tho temporary
organization was made permanent. Chair
man Morton on assuming the gavel re
trntnod from making any tpeech, suggest
ing that bh tho republican party was a partY
of business that tho convention proceed to
the buslnrus It had In hand. Tho usual com
mittees were, then named as follows:
Dolegates First district, Hugh Piltchard;

A rooess was token while the committees
wcro deliberating and the delegates nmused
themselves by calling on the more prominent
members for speeches, nonu of whom, how
ever, rosponded, Tho comraltteo on perma
nent organization was the first to report
and Its suggestion that thn temporary or
ganization bo made permanont waa unani
mously concurred In. The comtnltteo on cre
dentials reported that there wero no con-
testa and recommended that tho delogaUs
present bo entitled to cast tho full voto of
their respective! districts. This was liko
wiso unanimously concurred In, as was the
report of tho coramlttcQ on dlogates, which
took about half an hour to make up its list.
Following the report of tho committees
nn attempt wus made to get tho conven
tion to declare itself In favor ot tho adoption
of tho primary system of selecting dele
gates to party conventions, but failed, as
tho matter had boon placed In the hands
of a special committee at tho last county
convention which was to report to tho county
central committee. Tho matter was brought
up by ono of tho country delegates, who in
troduced tho following resolution:
Resolved. That tho republican uartv of
Pnt(awa,ttamJe .county adopt tho prlmnry
system of' selecting delegates to party con
ventions and that tho county central com
mitted be Instructed tri udont- the reoort of
"tho special committee appointed by the
chntrmnn of the last county convention,
with such modifications as a majority of
that committee shall determine, und that
the central committee put In operation tho
primary system In time for the next comity
convention.
The Introduction of this resolution brought
Attornoy Johji Limit to his feet with a point
of order. He asserted that this convention
was called solely for tho purpose of telect
Ing delegates and that such a resolution be
longed properly to tho county convention
called to nominate n ounty ticket.
Eruest E, Hart, who nt tho last convention
Introduced the original motion referring
the drafting of primary systom rules to a
special committee, nlso spoko against the
Introduction of the rejolutlon. Ho snld the
county central committee had full power to
act In tho matter nnd that It wus not a lit
subject for dissuasion ut this convention.
Chairman Morten, however, ailed that
Limit's point of order was nqt well takjn
und that such n resolution could bo prop
erly Introduced in the convention. Thau
Llndt moved to lay it on the table, and his
motion carried.
This did not settle the question, ns Dele
gate J. J. Hess Introduced another resolution
to tho effect that tho republican party of
Pottawattamie county adopt tho primary
system of selecting delegates to party con
ventions. It was some time bnforo ho so
curc.l a Becond, but when ho did a motion
to lay It on tho tablo by J. B. Matlock car
ried. With this the question was dropped,
to bo brought up later In the meatlng ot the
county central committee.
On motion of Attornoy Llndt the dolo
gates to tho stnto and congressional conven
tions were empowered to cast the full vote
ot the delegation and to fill any vacancy that
might occur. If they so desired, frcm any
republican citizens of the county who might
happen to bo in Des Moines at that time.
At this point In tho proceedings Postmas
ter Treynor askeil for permission to substi
tute the name of A. T. Fllcklnger as ono of
tho twenty-seven delegates In place of his
and tho request was granted. Chairman
Morton In putting tho question raised a
laugh by stating that he did not know tho
name Of 'the gentleman making the request
and felt somewhat embarrassed when In
formed that it was Postmaster I. M, Trey
nor, one of tho leading republicans of the
city and for many years secretary of the
state central committee. To make amends
the chairman, Informed the convention that
ho know Mr. Trcynor by reputation, This
brought the business of the convention to a
close and It adjourned.
Following the convention a meeting of the
county central coramltteo was held, nt which
It was decided, after a lengthy and at times
acrimonious discussion, to adapt a primary
syattin for tho selection of delegates to
party conventions. Tho rules adopted were
partly those formulatoil by tho city central
comraltteo and partly those drafted by the
"Pm committee appointed at tho last
county convention.

Illness excites the nerve centers and nervousness results. Nervousness in women is usually
caused by the irritation of female troubles. Can you think of anything more nerve-racking
than the drains of falling of the womb, irregular menstruation or leucorrhoea, with the accom
panying backache and headache? It ir. not to be wondered at that the great majority of women
are nervous? Wine of Cardui, by making menstruation painless and -regular, destroys the cause
of nervousness and allows Nature to quiet the nerves. Thousands of women whose nervous
sensibilities made life a burden to them have secured that kind of relief from Wine of Cardui.
Their suffering made them fidgety and unlovely. But Vine of Cardui gave them strong nerves
and perfect health. Thousands of letters bear testimony to this. If you take Wine of Cardui
with 1 hedtord's BlacK-uraugnt, to regulate the kidneys, liver and bowels, the imme
diate improvement will astonish you as it has" astonished others. Strong nerves and a
healthy body are offered you with a bottle of Wine of Cardui. $1.00 bottles are sold
by all druggists. A package of Thcdford's Black-Draught costs 25 cents.

"The truth about the Iron market has suf

motives for sotno ot tho happenlugs nnd ut
tcranc of tho week, merely saying on this
phase of tho situation that the pessimistic
statements sent broadcast from Now York
are not shared by tho Iron trade at lnrge.
"The actual tnulo developments of tho
week can bo summarized In few words- A
reduction from J2.1R to $1.90 In tho price of
bar Iron nt Mahoning Valley mill and from
$2.25 to Si ln steel bars nt Pittsburg mill,
n drop of about $2 a ton Iti platej, or to
$1.80 Pittsburg ns minimum for tank steel
on large contrarts; n decline In billets to
to $32.50 and $33 Pittsburg, and a shading
iti the price of foundry Iron.
"Thot Iron mnrket Is enjoying exceptional
prosperity this week, as it did last weak,
last month, the month before nnd for twelve
months before that. Prices may atlll yield
somowhnt or they mny temaln dose to to
day's basis after tho spring demand sets ln,
'but ln cither event tho outlook Is for large
consumption, heavy outputs from furnacen,
rolling mills and foundries and for profits
that will ufford capital nnd labor unusual
