Hut for tho fact that the doors of thu
saloons all bore notices, that read "Closed
on account ot election" aud for tho small
groups of men that gathered lu front of
tho polling places, there was little to In
dicate that a school election was in prog
ress. Dcsplto tho Importance ot several

thcro
appeared to bo llttlo Interest taken by tho
pcoplo generally and a light vote was
looked for.
Up to noon but n small vote had been
cast In any of the precincts, but during
tho afternoon and toward tho close tho
voting became a llttlo brisker. Every
where thrfro were Indications of considera
ble scratching in tho voting for the three
members of tho Hoard of Education. S. F.
Shuart, ono ot tho republican candidates,
nan opposed by tho members of tho labor
organizations, It being reported that he
waB opposed to tho frco text-books propoal-
Ion and also the continuance ot the kin-
lergartens, und his name was freely
scratched In every precinct. On tho other
hand, Dr. llowcra, one of tho democratic
candidates, was also freely scratched.
The labor organizations had committees
t each precinct working hard on behalf ot
tho frco toxt-booka nnd kindergarten prop
ositions, In which they were most Inter
ested. It was evident that there was somo
opposition to tho freo text-books proposi
tion, but it was not an organized effort.

Tho several candidates for tho school

no-spcclnl effort to Influence voters or to
secure votes. Party politics was to a
largo cxtont eliminated from tho election,
the voters as a rulo casting their hallota

the question whether they wero aluliated
with tho republican or tho democratic

whether tho chairman of the streets nnd

anil ho, tho street supervisor was simply
to act as a foreman to superintend men em

plained that Hubcr had ordered him to
discharge a man mimed Carlson, a faithful

a man solectod by the nlderman.
After much discussion on motion of

to employ and discharge laborers on tho

DKS MOINES, March 11. (Speclal.)-M.
D. Martin, secretary of state, G, S. Gilbert
son, treasurer of state, W. S. Schooler,
postmaster of Des Moines, nnd othors of
tho Iown pnrty that attended the Inaugura
tion nt Washington, arrived homo today.
While In Washington the Iowa party mndo
special efforts to find out the exact status
of United Stntes Minister Conger, who Is
now on his way home, and to discover If
possible the catiBo nnd nature of tho dis
agreements between him and the ndmlstrn
Hon. Postmaster 'Schooler, who Is a close
friend of Congressman Hull, said In regard
to tho return of Mr. Conger:
"The leave of absence of Minister Conger
Is not a recall, and If ho desires to return to
his post after n short sojourn In this country
and a visit home, tho admlstrntlon will bo
very glsd to havo htm do so. In fact, what
concerns the administration most nt this
tlmo Is the fear that when Mr. Conger has
been home n short tlmo ho will bo reluctant
to return to his post. Tho statements
which have been sent out by tho corre
spondents from Washington to tho effect
that thero had been a serious friction be
tween Conger nnd McKlnley were without
foundation. I took pnlns to ascertain the
exact situation whllo In Washington. Whllo
Mr. Conger nnd Secretary Hay did not
agree on nil matters, the disagreements
related In the main to minor affairs. In
some Instances Conger mndo recommenda
tions with regard to tho American policy In
the delicate negotiations In China, which
tho administration, with Its better knowl
edge ot tho situation, could not follow.
When his recommendations were disap
proved with reasons given therefore, Mr
Conger always gracefully acquiesced. At
tho Stnto dopartment Mr. Conger Is held In
the highest esteem.
"With regard to the talk about Conger
nB n possible cnndldnto for governor of
Iowa, I heard very llttlo whllo Washington
and nothing of a definite character. Ho Is
popular with the entire Iowa delegation and
tho Iowa colony In Washington. I bellova
ho would recclvo material assistance from
tho Iown congressmen should he dccldo to
enter tho rnco for governor of lowu. Per
sonally I would not be surprised If Conger
would announce his candidacy for governor
soon after his return home, but I have
no definite knowledge of his plans. Nothing
has been heard from him nt Washington
relative to his plans siucc his cablegram
to Hull."
1). Molnea Army I'onI,
It Is expected that work will he com
menced on the new army post slto near
Des Moines Immediately. The War depart
ment has $200,000 nvallnble tor use at onco
nnd as soon as the frost Is out ot tho
ground active work will be commenced. This
sum Is available before tbo regular ap
propriation of $519,000 mado to complete
the post and tho entire amount can be uncd
between now nnd June 30, 1902. It is In
tended that the post shall be so completed
that It will bo ready to accomodate a bat
talion of cavalry by next fall. Next year
It will be finished so that a full cavalry
regiment may be quartered thero If neces
sary. The slto presented to the government
comprises abou 400 acres, but It Is tho In
tention of the department to Increase this
to about 1,000 acres In a few years anil
greatly enlarge the post so as to afford
plenty of ground for use of tho cavalry
regiment.

Kederal officials have set on foot n move
ment to have tho location of the revenuo
collection offices for the southern Iowa dls
trlct moved from Hurllngton to Des Molnce,
The offices were locnted In Hurllngton
largoly by reason of tho Influence of Sena
tor Gear and because tho oftlco has always
been In the extreme eastern part of tho
state, nut there nre four places In tho
southern district where court Ib held and
tho most Important place Is Des Moines.
Tho federal ofTlclnls represent that It
would bo far more' convenient to havo the
collection office In Des Moines and aro
movtng to that end with strong hopes of
success,

whnt suffering frequently results
from a mother's Ignorance J or moro
frequently from a mother's neglect to
properly Instruct her ilnughter 1
Tradition suys "womnn must suf
fer," nnd young women are so taught.
There is 11 little truth nnd a great ileal
of exaggeration in this. If a young
womnn suffers severely she needs treat
ment, nnd her mother hhould sec that
she gets it.
Many mothers hesitate to take their
daughters to a physician for examina
tion : hut no mother need hesitate to
write freely about her daughter or
herself to Mrs. I'inlthnm's Laboratory
at Lynn, Mass., nnd seetire from a
woman the most efllcicnt advice with
out charge.
Mrs. August I'falzgraf, of South
Byron, Wis., mother of tho young lndy
whose portrnit wo here publish, wrote
in January, 1990, saying her daughter
hnd suffered for two years with irreg
ular mcnstruntlon liad hendnehe nil

swelled, nnd was genornlly miserable.
She received an answer promptly with
advice, and under dnte of Mnroh, 18tW,
the mother writes again thnt Lydia E

her daughter of nil pains nnd irregu
