DES MOINES, June 16. (Special Tele
gram,) Great local Intercut In the Chinese
situation was stirred up tcday when tho
people of Dos Moines read tho dispatch con
cernlng tho murder o( the Clerman minister
nt Pckln. Minister Conger of this city, who
has represented tho United States govern
ment at tho Chinese capital, Is among the
imprisoned legations there and possibly Is
murdered by this time. Ho and his wife aro
In Imminent danger of their lives and as tho
Boxers know that tho foreign troops arc ad
vancing on the capital, It Is possible that
tbey will wreak vengcanco first and then re
tire from tho reach of tho advancing
columns..
A special from Philadelphia says: "lowans
nrn beginning to nrrlvo hero and as each
ono .makes his appearance ho Joins the
throng of Dolllver shoutcrs. Governor Leslie
M. Shaw and Lafo Young, dclcgatcs-at-large,
arrived today nnd took up quarters at tho
Stratford house. Tho Stratford Is a fine
placo and not only Dolllver hcadquartere are
located within Its doors, but nearly all of
tho Iowa delegated and their friends have
chosen it ns their temporary home while
here, Tho Impression provalls that tho Uol
llvor stock Is booming and, while Ilnnna has
not given tho slightest intimation ns to tho
feeling of the administration eo far as set
tling upon nny ono of tho threo leading can
didates, It Is In tho air that Dolllver Is a
top liner. It looks this aftornoon as if It
would bo Dolllver against New York. Alli
son ba positively stated that he would not
havo tho nomination and that It the dele
gated did nominate him ho would dccllno In
a speech beforo they left tho hall. The New
York delegation Is nlrcady hero nnd I'latt
last night began talking for Odell, but It
simply added .fuel to tho Dolllver boom. No
one takes the Odell talk seriously. But aftor
all tho man who Is to he named for tho vlco
presidency is Hhroudcd in darkness. This
condition docs not necessarily mean that the
nomlneo will bo n dark horse. Ho may bo
nnd probably will bo ono of thoso who have
boon boomed and groomed during the past
few days." ,
0IomHIoii to Merrlnm,
Undorneath the hot. and open scramblo for
secretary of stato Is the. growing (sentiment
that candidates for auditor must bo forced
into tho field to run against Auditor Frank
Merrlam, who Is a candidate, for rc-clccMon.
Whether Justly or unjustly it is undeniable
that a strong opposition to Merrlam has de
veloped; This was strengthened by the re
cent bankers' convention in this city. In
conversation with aotno of tho political man
dates a number of tho leading bankers made
loud complaints regarding tho manner in
which the banking business Is conducted in
this stato and cited Instances which they say
d not look well In tho annals of tho party.
Hits stimulated a certain clement In the
party In their deelro for a general wiping
out of the slato and plans for open opposition
to tho auditor nro fast maturing. Men who
havo been out in tho state this week say It
is tho leading think talked In political circles
at Cedar Rapids, Sioux City and elsewhere
nnd that tho man who is looked to by the
largest number Is ex-Senator D. F. Carroll
of Bloomfleld, Davis county.
Adjutant General Byors and Major Hume
have returned from Cedar Rapids, where
they have been conducting tho school of in
struction In small arms practice at the state
range. They nnnounco that tho team of tho
Fifty-first Iowa took first prlzo for total
scores and that Corporal Charles Harlcss of
Troop A was given .an Improved Remington
rifle for tho best Individual work. The team
of tho Fifty-first rnado a total scoro of 308,
the Fifty-second followed with 807, Forty
ninth 868 nnd Fiftieth 800. Tho competitive
shooting occurred Friday and Rlx picked men
from ench regiment participated. Tho sol
diers who brought victory to tho FIfty-flret
were Corporal linker of Company D, VUllsca;
Sargent Ed Carlo, Company D, Knoxvllle;
Lieutenant L. M. Johnson of Company F,
Oskaloosa; Corporal C. II. Koppo, of Com

said that It would not surprsa him If tho

given to the plalntlrf, Thli act. on, bo
thought, might ho taken on the gr.unJ .h t
the evidence offered did not tus a n tlu
verdict. When the Omalu Gas company
was laying mains on N street a yar or 10
ago Ed Burke's team ran away an 1 he an 1
his son suffered Injuries by reajen of the
wagon running Into the open tr.nch.
There is nnothcr case of the snmj rort
here, that of Paul KljfcUier. A Judgment
In this case has been rendered against IV J
city for 1,000. It Is unders.osd that tin
city will make provision for tho payment
of this Judgment when the annual appropria
tion sheet Is mndo up In July. When-the
amount Is paid suit will 1)3 commence 1 by
tho city to recover tho amount from ths
gaa company. When tho gas company se
cured Its franchise here a bond was g.vcn
Indemnifying the city agalnBt Icbs by rc:cou
of accidents iused by tho opening of
strccta and alleys. This bond Is considered
first-class and remains in effect during the
Hfo of the franchise. Attorneys fay lint
this Is the only manner In which tho' mat
ter can legally be settled.
City Attorney Montgomery Inclines to tho
position that unless the court orders a new

of damages to a nominal figure tho caso
should bo appealed to tho supremo court.

Q A NIGER:
Surgical operations and flesh destroying plasters are useless, painful anil dangerou, and besides, never cure Cancer.
No matter how often n cancerous sore is removed, another conies nt or near the same point, nnd always in n worse form.
Does not this prove conclusively that Cancer is a blood disease, and that it is folly to attempt to cure this deep-seated, dangerous
, blood trouble by cutting or burning out the sore, which, after all, is only ait outward sign of the disease a place of exit foi
the poison ?
Cancer runs in families through many generations, and those whose ancestors have been afflicted with it are liable nt anj
time to be stricken with the deadly malady.
Only Blood Diseases can be Transmitted from One Generation to Another
irthcr proof that Cancer is a disease of the blood.
To cure a blood disease like this you must cure the entire blood system remove every trace of the poison, Nothing cures
Cancer effectually nnd permanently hut S. S. S. ,
S. S. S. citers the circulation, searches out and removes all taint, and stops the formation of cancerous cells. No mere tonic
or on'.iu.it v blood medicine can do this. S. S. S. goes down to the very roots of the disease, and forces out the deadly poison,
nllowiiiir the sore to heal naturally mid nermanentl v. S. S. S. at the same time uurifies the blood and builds tin the trcneral health.
