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

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.

ONE of the most wonderful events In

following letter to the Peruna Medicine

remedy, Peruna:
"As I am particularly liable to catch cold,
which at once settles In catarrh and se

pleased with the help I have found In
using Peruna.
"After a severe attack, a bottle never
fails to restore me fully to health, and I
find that by using it occasionally It keeps
me In good 'condition and prevents me
from catching cold.
"It Is a fine tonic and I accord It my

Catarrh is a result of chang(ble climate.
Peruna is a result of long and careful

CHAMBER LA I M ASKS NEW TRIAL
Indications Are Jodie Will Grant the
Request.
TECUM8EH, Neb.. July 7. (Special Tele
gram.) In all probability Charles M. Cham
berlain, cashier of the defunct Chamber
lain Banking house ot this city. Is going to
be given a new trial on tho charge of em
bezzlement, wliereln a Jury in the district
court here last week found him guilty.
This afternoon and evening was devoted
to the argument of -a motion for a new
trial and the examination of Jurors, the
case coming before Judge Paul Jessen of
Nebraska City, who sat last week. The
defense alleged misconduct on the part of
certain Jurors, errors In the Instructions to
the Jury and the failure of evidence to
show that Chamberlain misapplied the
13,600 of the bank's money to his own bene
fit. After examining the Jurors aa to the
elleged misconduct the case was argued by
H. F. Rose of Lincoln for Chamberlain and
by County Attorney J. C. Moore and O. A.
Adams of Llnooln for the state.
Tonight Judge Jessen announced that he
would withhold his declslor until t o'clock
In the morning, but In all probability a new
trial would have to be granted on the
ground of the motion wherein It stated
that th evidence was Insufficient to show
that - Chamberlain misappropriated the
bank's funds.

"I have been a sufferer with catarth for
a long time and it finally settled In my
stomach.
"I grew thin and pale, was nauseated at
the sight of food, and felt that unless I
could obtain relief soon that I would have
to go away for my health.

and catarrh of the head, and had been
cured, so I began using It.
"My restoration to health was llow, but
sure, prfid at the end of seven months I
was once more In good health, without a
trace of catarrh In my system, thanks to
Peruna." ,
