CARROLL COUNTY SHOWS AN INCREASE Politics In National Guard Said to Be Raining Discipline Two Cliques VfltU Two Regiments In Each. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, July 7. (Special. )-W. E. Skinner of the Union stock yards of Chi cago, and connected with the National reciprocity conference which is to be held In Chicago August 15 and 1ft, is In the city today and made a personal call on Gov ernor Cummins to Invite him to be present at the conference and deliver an address. The Corn Belt Meat Producers' association of this state Joins with fourteen other or ganisations In the call for. the convention. Governor Cummins assured Mr. Skinner that he would be present and participate. At his hotel this evening Mr. Skinner said: "If I should talk all night I could not tell more of the purpose of the con ference than Is contained In the call. This s a decidedly Important affair. W aro today face to face with a new and prohibi tive German tariff designed to keep out every pound of American breadstuff and meat products. Retaliation has been tried at tremendous cost td our producers and manufacturers and Is a failure. In calling this conference we stand on the broad plat form enunciated by President McKinley In his lust speech at Buffalo. We care not whether the future of our trade be safe guarded by means, of direct reciprocity treaties or under the provisions of a fairly drawn maximum and minimum tariff law under which the government could directly negotiate advantageous International agree ments, but th situation demands at once that In some form ther be established th principle of conceding something to such nations aa will concede valuable trade re lations with ua." f Carroll Shows a Growth. But for the Increase In the population of the city of Carroll the county of that name would show a loss this year. The official figures given out by the census depart ment today show that Carroll county gained zis in population In five years. The city of Carroll gained Ml. showing that the county wun tne exception of Carroll lost In popu lation. The population of Carroll county is now 20.636 and the population of Carroll city s.ns. This makes seven counties out of thirty-two that show a gain in population. More Cattle at State Fair. The cattle exhibit at the State fair this this year, according to all Indications, will be larger than last year, and last year's exhibit set the record. It la a serious propo sition with the dlreotors to find space for the exhibits. The National Association of Polled Durham today notified Becretary Simpson that It had appropriated enough toward the premiums to make them as large In that class as for the Jerseys and Holstelns. This Is th first year premiums have been offered for Polled Durham. Jesse Crawford Paroled. Governor Cummins has Issued a parole for Jesse Crawford, who with Orlando P. Wllkins held up th Dallas County Savings bank ten years ago. Crawford was a boy of It and Wllkins was a relative and an escaped convict from th penitentiary at Stillwater, Minn. Crawford was captured and forced to set fir to a barn In which Wllkins hid. As Wllkins emerged he was Shot dead by on of the posse of farmers. During the bank holdup Hon. S. M. Leach, cashier of the bank, was shot in th shoul der, but recovered. Polities ia n Gnard. Th round robin that was passed1 around at th encampment of th Fifty-third and Fifty-fifth regiments last year to secure the removal of Adjutant General Byers seems likely to have set a precedent for the National Guard. Officers say the discipline of the guard has been destroyed. The Firty-sixth, now In camp. Is complaining that the adjutant general's office has not carried out Its promises to fix up the grounds. There is talk of another round robin to be sent to the governor. Th guard Is split Into two factions and has been for some years, th Fifty-sixth and Fifty. fourth being In on faction and the other two regiments In th other faction. Th rain today somewhat spoiled the program, but the regular maneuvers of th morning hour were carried out. UchtalasT Hits t'onrt Hons.

"I spent more than a hundred dollars In doctoring and found that It was only a waste of money, but six dollars worth of Peruna made me a well man. "I feel It my duty to give due praise to the medicine which made such a blessed change In my life." The remedy that cures catarrh must aim directly at the depressed nerve centers. This Is what Peruna does. Nearly one-hnlf the people are In some way affected by ontnrrh. There fore It Is almost a natlonnl enrse, and It Is of national Import that the peo ple should know of Peruna. Catarrh enters the system through the nerve centers and affects the mucous mem branes. Peruna enables the nerve centers' to repel and expel the catarrh from the system. Catarrh Is an American disease. Peruna Is an American remedy. The men struck Gibson on the head with some blunt Instrument m'hlch rendered him unconscious, ln which condition he re mained for several hours. He was taken to St. Mary's hospital for treatment. The cause of the assault Is not known. Both men have made their escape and the offi cers have notified the authorities In the nearby towns to apprehend the men If they come their way.
