Iowa's War Claims.
The belief la general In Iowa that de
spite the fact that the auditing department
of the treasury audited " Iowa war claims
amounting to nearly 600,000, congress will
not appropriate for any such sums, for that
would lead some other etates to reopen their
claims on a different basis. The letter of
Secretary gbaw to Governor Cummins trans
mitted the certificate of the War department
on the queatlon of war claims, which stated
the situation plainly as follows:
"I certify that I have examined and set
tled the claim of the state ot Iowa In con
formity with the principles announced by
the comptroller of the treasury In bis de
cision rendered In the 'Indiana case,' dated
April 14, 1902, and find that there le due
from the United States the sum of 1455,
417.89 for refundment Of moneys paid aa
interest from July 1. 1861. to July 1. 1881.
and tor discounts suffered and other ex
penses Incurred In procuring funds to sup
press ths rebellion during 1861 to 1854.
Said allowance being baaed upon the de
cision of the comptroller of the treasury,
dated April 14. 1902.
"Appropriation: 'Refunding to states ex
penses Incurred In raising volunteers.' To
be reported to congress under section 1 ot
the deficiency appropriation act ot July 7,
1884.
"Payable to the governor of the state of
Iowa, Des Moines, la., when an appropria
tion shall have been made.
"I further certify that If this claim bad
been settled In accordance with the prin
ciples announced by the court ot claims
and followed by this office In the settle
ment of the claims ot the states of Maine,
Pennsylvania, New Hampshire and Rhode
Island, already allowed and paid under the
findings of that court, there would be due
the state of Iowa from the United States
on the above claim ths sum ot $229,699.62."

As the result of the dismissal of two
members of the police force for confessed
corruption and "grafting" and subsequent
accusations by tnem against the entire new

a,..h,r,.,i men acknowledge that they
were engaged in getting money by extortion
from Innocent persons and that they took
the money from a strange young woman
who was a gueat at one of the hotels of the
city. But they also allege openly that
the same system of extortion Is prevalent
among the officers on ths police force and
is countenanced by tboss In authority. They
refuse to make specific charges, but place
the entire new police force under sus
picion. As the result a demand Is being
made for a general Investigation. Most

Mrs. May Webb, President Woman's
Kaffe-klatch Club, Menasha,Wis., is Advised
by Her Doctor to take Lydia E. Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound for Inflamma
tion of the Womb, and is Cured. She says:
"Dear Mrs. Pinkham : How little we appreciate health until
it has left us ; then it appears as the most precious gift to mankind.
I enjoyed good health until four years ago when I caught a severe
cold at the menstrual period. I thought little of it at that time, but
when nine weeks after I found it had settled into inflammation of the
womb, I wished I had been more careful. I suffered agonies for
months ; lost my happy disposition, and nothing seemed worth having
if I could not have my health. My good old doctor, after prescribing
several worthless remedies, was good enough to say Try Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, several of my patients have
been cured through its use.' I did so ; I had great expectations, and it
did not disappoint me. Before the first bottle was used I felt relief;
I took it faithfully for nine weeks, and that blessed Compound surely
cured me. It seemed to build up all the weak parts, allayed the
inflammation, and brought blessed health back to me. I know how
to appreciate it, and I know also that it was due to Lydia E. Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound only." Mrs. Mary Webb, Menasha. Wis.
