(From a Stuff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, Aug. 20. (Special. ) On
the eve of convention day for the demo
crats of Iowa it can be seen that tho chief
fight of the day will be, as In other years,
over tho question of platform. The most
prominent delegates refuse to talk nbout
candidates, except as an Incident to the
platform utterances. It will bo tho old
light over again with u strong effort mndo
to get the party to drop the national Issues
and say nothing whatever about Bryan or
tho coinage question. On tho other hand, n
considerable number favor going over the
samo grouml again on which thoy havo
fought nnd lost the past live or six years
The antl-sllvor men came on tho scono
earlier than the others. They camo chiefly
from Woodbury, Scott, Pottnwattnmlo, Des
Moines, Jackson, Johnson, Shelby, Lee,
Wapello and other counties In which thero
Is n large number of democrats or whero
there wero formerly many democrats.
Among these delegates wero n dozen or
moro who hnvo been shut out of democratic
conventlmiH In Iowa for tho past six years.
Ex-Sonator Cleveland of Harlan Is here
nnd he had not been able to break Into a
democratic convention before for five years.
Kx-Representntlvo Gil Johnson of Maquo-
keta appeared as n delegate for tho first
time since 1S90. Senator Ball of Johnson
county Is hero for the first tlmo Blnce the
frco silver craze struck the party. And so
with n lnrge number of others formwly
prominent In tho party. As cx-Repreecnta-tlvc
Johnson said:
"We are going to make one more heroic
effort to get the party back to Its princi
ples. Wo nre tired of trailing along behind
a lot of little fellows who havo broken Into
the party and have destroyed It. Bcforn
1S95 thero was but ono republican county
In tho Second district. Now they arc nil
republican. In Jackson county we dropped
from 1,500 democratic majority to 200 re
publican. In Scott county wo had 2,000
democratic majority and havo none now.
This Is what has happened to tho party
under the mnnngomcnt of Walsh, Huffman,
Weaver and that gang. We nro going to try
to get the party back to Its proper place."
This fairly expresses tho feelings of n con
siderable number of tho democrats who aro
delegates. Whether thoy will prevail or
not Is in doubt.
Platform Trouble.
The anti-free silver men. nnd this In
cludes many who are not pronouncedly for
gold but aro against Bryan and Bryan's
domination of tho party, want a platform
that will contain no reference nt nil to
tho national platform. They want no half
way measures and say so. And they openly
declare that unless tho party shakes off Its
weights they will not remain with It.
A conference of somo of the lenders was
held at noon to see If It would not be possi
ble to agreo upon tho main points of tho
platform without a ''fight, but thero was
such a small attendance that adjournment
was taken until evening. Soveral similar
conferences were held during tho day ami
evening, but the leaders found themselves
far apart and it la certain that tho resolu
tions comtnitteo will havo a hard time of It.
Tho caucuses for selection of tho members
of tho committee will not bo held until In
tho morning and no work enn be done on
the plntform until then. It Is believed that
Cato Sells will write tho platform, ns he
wrote the major portion of It last year. Ho
has made a special study of tho state is
sues, which ho thinks can bo worked thl3
year nnd Is confident a platform can bo
made which will command attention.
.Sells In Out of It.
Mr. Sells this morning definitely took
himself out of the race for governor in a
statement as follows:
"I am not only not a candidate, but I will
not permit my nomination. It Is not con
celvablo I will bo nominated over my pro
test, but should such happen, I will be
compelled to decline tho honor. I do not
make this statement in the Interest of any
candidate and havo no Idea who will bo
tho nominee, but you may rest assured that
tho nomineo will ho henrtlly In nccord with
tho platform which must embody tho prin
ciples of railway taxation that I have ad
vocated for years equitable property ta
Atlon with no Injustlco to any Interest cor
porate or private but Justice to all. Of
course wo may not win, but It wo don't wo
can put up such a hard fight as to force tho
republicans to go on record so strongly In
favor of fair taxation during the campaign
as to accomplish the needed reforms."
Desplto this statement his name is being
freely used as a candidate, and unless ho
does something moro to counteract tho ef
fect ho will receive many votes In the con
vention. DoiIkp AIno Get Out.
Ex-Senator W. W. Dodge of Burlington
hnd been brought out ns a candidate by his
home county, but wheu the train started
this morning and It had been decorated with
banners announcing tho Dodgo candidacy,
Mr. Dodgo appeared on tho scene and de
clared that owing to 111 health he will not
bo a candidate. The Dcs Molncs county
delegation removed the streamers and came
on without their former candidate. This
cleared tho atmosphere somewhat In that
part of the state. It was well understood
that Dodgo and Phillips represented the
samo thing In tho contest nnd their candi
dacies crossed linen nt several places. Tho
delegates from tho First will support Phil
lips of Ottumwa for governor and this
gives tho Phillips men much encourage
rrfent. On behalf of Phillips, who Is manager of
tho big Whltebreast Coal company of Ot
tumwa and Illinois, It is claimed that ho
will get tho vote of the miners of Iowa
almost to a man, black anil white. Ho has
opened headquarters nnd has an acttvo lot
of Ottumwa and Sixth district democrats
working for him. They claim that General
Weaver and tho Jasper county delegation
aro for Phillips nnd that he will hnvo tho
support of the men from tho entire southern
part of tho state.
The only other candidate In tho flold Is
Horace J. Stlgcr of Benton county, a law
yer, and supported by the Fifth district
men. His friends nro active, but Mr. Stlgcr
Is not hero yot.
(i ii I in K of Opponents.
Tho fight as between candidates Is largely
one of detracting from tho othor follow.
Those who favor either Phillips or Stlgcr
declaro that thoy do not want nny of tho
old crowd of radical frco sllverltci who
will commit tho pnrty to Bryanlsm. Both
have remained regular with the party, but
have not been conspicuous, On tho other
hand those who say they will not vote for
either Phillips or Stlger nccuse them of bo
lng corporation tools and say that their nc
ceptance of the proposed antt-corporatlon
platform will be Insincere. Phillips repro
sents ono of tho strongest coal corporations
doing business in Iowa and Illinois and ho
Is a wealthy man. Stlger has been nttorncy
for the Northvostern railroad and this hurts
him with many delegates. It Is therefore
probnblo that another candidate will yet be
brought out.
I'IkIiI on rinor of Contention,
An effort will be made to get delegates
together for conference this evening, but
so ninny came that leaders were afraid
to open up the question of a platform and
tho conference adjourned without action.
Soveral Informal conferences wero held
during the early part of the night on the
question of plntform, but tho longer tho
delegates conferred the moro It became
evident thnt there will bo no agreement
and there will bo a fight on the floor of
tho convention.
The silver men say they will put up an
other ticket If tho Kansas City platform
Is not specifically Indorsed nnd tho gold
men say they will not nllow any reference
to the Kansas City plntform.
After the withdrawal of Sells and Dodge
the delegates began to look for nnother
candidate and turned toward Senator Ball
of Iowa City, but ho does not want to enter
the rnce. John Seerley of Burlington, ex
congrcesman, Is considering tho advisability
of being ,i candidate. Jasper county dele
gates report that General Weaver wants
to be n eandldnte nnd he is hero urging
radlcnl frco silver and a populist platform
with that In view.
In every district caucus thero will be
in effort made to get conservative men on
tho platform committee nnd the gold men
claim they will be able to control that
committee. If they do. n minority report
will bo presented to tho convention.

"There Is something very uncanny nbout
an carthquako shock," said a gentleman who
had been speaking to tho Atlanta Constitu
tion of tho recent seismic disturbances in
Tenncssco nnd tho terror caused by them.
"Tho scnsntlon," he continued, "caused
by tho quivering nnd rocking of tho enrth
thrills every fiber of a porson with nwc. 1
saw this forcibly Illustrated at the tlmu
Charleston was wrecked. That earthquake
shock was pcrccptlblo throughout Georgia,
being especially notlccnblo In the tnlddlo
part of tho state.
. "Tho night of the earthquako there wan a
Mothodlst cnmpmectlng In progress nt
Bluff Springs, near SCebulon. Thero was a
great crowd at the meeting and tho people
didn't seem to be In a very religious frame
of mind to me. Tho preachor delivered an
eloquent sermon on death and tho Judg
ment, and at Its close mourners were In
vited to tho altar. But tho peoplo didn't
tnko kindly to the Invitation nnd only threo
or four went up to bo prayed for. Tho
minister begged tho peoplo to como forwnrd,
but his appeals fell on denf ears. Back
somo distance from tho stand tho young
people wero chatting as unconcerned oh If
tho Issues of time nnd eternity had not been
presented to them.
"The minister seemed to bo discouraged
by tho coldness of his hearers, and was on
tho point of closing tho service. But Just
as ho was about to say 'let us pray.' tho
first slight shock was felt. In an Instant
everybody under that stand became ns still
as death Itself. Faces blanched and eyes
wore opened wide in terror. No ono nt first
seemed to renllze what had caused tho
earth to rock ns If In a bpasm. With the
coming of tho next shock, however, some
realized what it meant nnd tho cry of
'earthquako' what heard.
"Hardly had tho dread word been ut
tered when there was a rush for the
mourners' bench. I never saw such a stam
pede In my life. In less time than It tnkes
to write tho altar was surrounded by hun
dreds who wero dazed by terror and cry
ing on tho Lord for mercy. A third shock
came while those frightened peoplo were at
tho altar, and It camo near throwing some
of them Into convulsions.
"Tho minister was tho only ono who
seemed not to bo frightened nnd ho began
praying in tones that had a quieting ef
fect on tho people. But It was hours beforo
calm was restored and fear banished. The
quivering of the earth had something so
uncanny nbout it that tho peoplo were
ready to bellcvo thnt tho end of tlmo wni
at hand.
"I shall never forget thnt sceno of 1.000
persons who had been denf to tho appeals
of the preacher, fleeing In terror to the
altar when they felt tho earth begin to
rock "

The Duty
of Motiiaor&w
Whnt RitfTcrlug frequently results
from n motlirr'n trfuotftneo! or more
frequently from u mother's neglect to
properly Instruct hur dntiirhtr.r I
Tradition says " wonmn must suf
fer," nnd young wonivn are .so taught.
Thero Is n little truth and a grent deal
of exaggeration In this, If a younp;
woman suffers severely she needs trcnt
ment, aud her mother bhould sco that
she gets It.
Many mothers hesitate to tnko their
daughters to a physician for examina
tion : but no mother need hesltnto to
write freely about her dnughtcr or
herself to Mrs. 1'inUhnm'ft Laboratory
st Lynn, Mar.s., nnd .secure from a
woman the most clllclcnt advice with
out charge.
Mrs. August Pfnlzgrnf, of South
Hvron, Win., mother of the young lndy
whose portrnlt we here publish, wroto
In .Innuary. IMP, saying her daughter
had miff crod for two years with Irreg
ular menstruation Iiad headnehc all
the time, and pain in her side, feot
swelled, nnd was generally miserable.
She received an answer promptly with
advice, and under date of March, ISD'J,
the mother writes ngaln that Lydla 12
I'inkham's Vegetable Compound cured
her daughter of all pains and irregu
