There was too much politics In the air
last night lor the aldermen to hold a pro
longed session, so after allowing the
monthly pay rolls and grist of bills and re
scinding the contract of L. C. Besley for
the grading of Franklin avende, they ad
journed to Friday nfght.
Judge Scott, on behalf of the property
owntrs on Franklin avenue, complained
thai Contractor Bealey had failed to com
mence the grading and a sired that his con
tract be rcfcclnded. Mr. Bealey was willing
that his contract be rescinded and the
property owners will now be permitted to
do the work themselves, provided It Is done
under the supervision of the city engineer.
Mr. Henley explained that part of the abut
ting property pn the avenue had been
platted, but never recorded, and he was of
the opinion there might be trouble In as
sessing the cost of the Improvement against
such . property and therefore did not feel
willing to go ahead with the contract.
The Indian creek dredge pay. roll for Oc
tober amounted to $741.20 and a bill for 1300
for coal for the machine was also allowed.
Several other bills for the dredge were
laid over until the next meeting.

(From a 8tnff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES. Nov. 7. (SpccUl.)--Clos-Ing
rallies In the campaign were held In
the state of Iowa this evening In a number
of cities and towns, but not all of the
Iowa speakers were In the state. Secretary
Shaw had perhaps the most Interesting
day. He waa In his home county of Craw
ford and spoke at five meetings before
reaching Denlson for an evening address.
He spoke In the smaller towns of the
county afternoon and forenoon, at each one
having other speakers .with him, then
ended up the evening with Judge Conner
In Denison, where both addressed a big
crowd. Becretary Shaw in his speeches In
Iowa has dei.lt almost entirely with the)
tariff, taking the view that there should
not be a revision at the present time and
that on the whole the tariff Is admirably
suited to the purpose of Its framers.
In eastern Iowa Secretary Wilson closed
the campaign with a rally at Traer, near
his Tama county home for many years.
Governor Cummins closed with Albert F.
Dawson In the Second district, having a
big meeting at Muscatine. Congressman
Lacey was at What Cheer, Congressman
Smith at Avoca and Senator Dolliver at
Badger.
Senator Allison, Interviewed on the situa
tion In Iowa, stated hi confidence that
the state would show an Increased repub
lican plurality and that the congressional
delegation will be solidly republican. In
regard to the reply of President Roosevelt
to the Parker attack. Senator Allison said:
i minx mar tTesment Kooscveit did ex-
actly right In hia rculv to the charaea
mane by Parker. It Is a little unusual, per
haps, but 1 believe the president has every
Justification for tha course he took. It had
been openly charged that there had not
been and could not be any answer to the
accusations made by the democratic can
didate. Silenca might have been taken
as a confession of guilt by some people.
The president has spoken in a manly way
and after the election Judge Parker will
be remembered only with contempt.
Kaaaoa Returns to Iowa.
John A. Kasson, formerly United States
ambassador to Germany, and long promi
nent In diplomacy and statesmanship, has
returned from Washington to Des Moines
to vote thla year for the first time in many
years. Mr. Kasson was 111 last summer

that subject. He will remain In Des
Molnea a week or mora before returning
to Washington. i '

The State Board of Control apent the day

C. H. Woodard of Manilla. Crawford
county, has asked that Assistant State
Geologist Savage go to Manilla to Investi
gate some mineral discoveries he has made
there. He writes that ho believes he ha
found "both gold and diamonds," and de
sires to alnk a shaft 4,000 feet deep to ex
ploit his discoveries. He desires the state
geologist to advise him as to the expendi
ture of money. .
Hard Flaht Against Brewery.
One of the Interesting phases of the politi
cal fight In this county will be the circula
tion of petitions for consent for the estab
lishment of. a brewery In Des Moines. The
advocates of the brewery have made a
silent campaign, and now the church people
have become, aroused and' on Sunday ser
mons were preached in majiy churches ad
vising the people to oppose the brewery.

came out cured, happy, and in perfect health after a thorough treatment
with this medicine. I have never used it myself without gaining great
benefit. A few doses restores my strength and appetite, and tones up
the entire system. Your medicine has been tried and found true, henca
I fully endorse it." Mrs. K. A. Anderson, 225 Washington St, Jack
