', , The announcement was made In Wash
' tngton recently that Congressman W. D.
Jatnleson of Gage county, the only demo
cratic member from Iowa, would not be a
candidate for -renomlnation. It appears
that this was an error for be has now
tDt for nomination blanks and this Is
taken to mean that he will enter the race
kt oaoe. It was believed that one reason
why he bad decided not to' be a candi
date was a feeling that he could not win,

trial he and friends went to the home of
' the man who had been witness as against
"'' - him and lnduoed him to took for the note

to Carroll Wright, attorney for the Rock
Island, who said In an address on
"wrestling and dancing" before the State
university banquet at Iowa City, that rail
road rates In till country have been re
duced 35 per cent In the last five years and
In the same time the prices of trust made
goods of all kinds have been materially
reduced. Mr. Thome declares that accord
ing to official reports the gross Income of
railroads lastyear was jrwo.000,000 more than
five years before and the rate per ton mile
. has not varied 4 per cent all the time and
that it is notorious that rates In general
J are higher than they were a few years ago.
He alsd shbwed that the prices of trust
made goods have advanced. The matter
will probably become a part of the cam
paign In Iowa on the railroad commission.

Council Bluffs
Unlucky on Toss
.. , -. t' "
Location of Iowa Democratic Conven
. tion Settled by Flip of Coin at
Cigar Stand.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, la., Feb. 21 (Special.)-.
It develops according to the statements of
members of the state committee, that the
democratic stat convention went to Ot
tumwa Instead of to Council Bluffs on a
raffle at a cigar stand. When the dead
lock for place had become such that it was
evident lies Moines Would get the place
unless the lother towns settled it among
themselves, the committeemen from Coun
cil Bluffs and Otttimwa met and in the
presence of their friends agreed to stand
together and then to decide by lot which
city should have the place. It was de
cided by lot and Ottumwa won. The
friends of Council Bluffs kept their agree
ment and voted solidly for Ottumwa, Mem
bers of the committee say that It was Just
as good, a way to settle It as any other
and entirely satisfactory, but It Is said to
be the first time In the history of the state
that a convention was located on the toss
of a coin.

HARLAN, la., Feb. 26. (Special.) T. I
Sullivan, a resident of Panama, la., en
gaged In feeding and shipping live stock,
has filed his petition In the district court
of Shelby county against the Chicago, Mil
waukee & St Paul Railway company ask
ing for damages from.lt in the sum of
$966.06, with Interest and oosts of suit. He
alleges that at various times during the
last year he has delivered live stock to
the agent of this company at Panama for
transportation to the Unlon Stock yards
at Chicago and Omaha and that the com
pany accepted his Shipments, but failed to
use reasonable care In operating their
trains In transporting his stock to these
markets and that for this reason the stock
did not reach their destinations In Chicago
and Omaha until day, or. In some cases,
a day and a, half after the market they
were intended and they had to be held
over for tha following day's market He
claims that he has been damaged by
shrinkage in weights of stock, decrease in
market value of stock and for extra ex
pense for feed In the sum for which he
ssks Judgment -
This case will be watched with great In
terest by live stock shippers over the
country. Mr. Sullivan had a case of this

No library In the country tf the .s'te of :
the Omaha Institution takes better care
of the wants of a Cosmopolitan popula- '
tlon. Dally papers from twenty-ons of
the largest cities of the land are kept n
file, comprising the best publications of
the various places. Of weekly issues
twenty-two different papers ore provided.
Resides papers printed In the Engllth lan
guage, there are also sixteen printed in
foreign languages. The use made of these
papers by patrons fully Justifies , the ex
pense of subscription. ' .'
Trade and Technical Papers.
In the list of weekly, monthly and quar
terly mag-ailnes, trade papers and techni
cal Journals in many languages, are ' to
be found 240 different publications. There ,
range from Journals treating of high art j
to those dealing with modest matters
touching the household and the shop; from
magaxlnes dealing with heavy philosophi
cal and sociological topics, legal and busi
ness questions to some of the most tech
nical nature and very costly production.
On any given line of work, thought or
study now engaging the attention of the

to be found one or more magaxlnes or
compilations at nana in tne umana Horary,
They are lndetsd completely and Imme

very extensively, but the library authorr

for study and the acquiring of Information
which Is' not taken advantage of.
Public documents, patent office reports,
congressional proceedings, drawings, medi
cal books, reference volumes on every
Imaginable live topic all are at hand.
And the accommodations for using tbem
are of the best.'
. Works In Many Lana-aaes.
Periodicals and bound volumes In the
original French, German, Danish. Swedish
and Yiddish can lje found at the library,
without the need of a tedious wait.
The willing aid of trained people is no
small attraction to be kept In mind in
this connection. The visitor with but a
few minutes to look up some moot point
can get satisfaction no less than the serious
student or Investigator who knows exactly
what he wants, but may be somewhat at
sea as to how .to find V. An Indication of
his wants in any special field will bring
direct help from the library attendants, and
perhaps a valuable pointer born of better
education in the field of book study.
Even granting that - much good use is
made of the reading room, the library
heads do not consider this by any means
the most satisfactory feature of their work.
They feel the expense of subscription would
be Justified were not the papers and maga
slnes to be afterward bound and placed
among the permanent files of the Institu
tion, The continuing use of tha library as a
whole Is the real measure of its worth In
the view of those who direct and manage
It. And correlated with this thought U
the ever-growing value to the Investigator,
the student,, the writer, and fco tlo casual
visitor even, of this depository of assured
learning and mine of pertlpent general In

The passing of one -of the best known ex
amples of bonansa farming in northern
Iowa is to be marked the 3d and 4th of
next month, when an absolute dispersnl sale
of the stock and personal property of the

N'S REVIEW OF TRADE
Volume of Business Large Respite
Several Adverse Factors. '
SU0WST0EM AFFECTS TRAFFIC
Political Uncertainties and Reaction
arr Ton. of Stock Market Hare
Borne B fleet on General
Situation.
NEW YORK, Feb. 26.-R. O. Dun & Co.'s
Weekly Review of Trade today says:
Business conditions vary so widely In
one section from another and in one trade
from another Nut a eeneralizatlon broad
enough for the situation on the whole Is
difficult. Yet, making; due allowiuica, for
the effect of the severe weather in cer
tain parts of the country for the influ
ence upon financial confidence of polit
ical uncertainties, and for the conse
quence of speculative reaction. It appears
that the volume of trade continues very
larse and the outlook for the nprlnff la In
no small degree better than it was two
weeks ago.
Insofar as the volume of new business
Is concerned conditions In Iron and steel
are not greatly changed, yet sentiment 1 o
garding the outlook is unmistakably Im
proved. Borne districts report a little
more activity In pig iron, although, in oth
ers, and especially at the south where
prices show weakness, the situation re
mains unsatisfactory. Actual orders re
cently placed show expansion and one
prospective contract alone wilt call for
30,000 tons of bridge work. n the rail
division numerous substantial sales have,
been made, while rolling stock Is being
fiurchased with more freedom. Business
s not alone confined to domestic require
ments, demand from foreign sources re
sulting in the booking of ordersvfor 70,009
tons ot steel rails last week, and condi
tions abroad are retarded as excellent.
There Is fcreater Inquiry for farm imple
ments ana macninery man usuhi ai
season and wire products continue to
make a good showing.
Jobbers of dry goods are trying to do a
very good trade and they are not dupli
cating; as usual the primary markets for
additional spring merchandise, and these
rule generally quiet. Staple prints wore
advanced Ho a yard and the leading Una
of fall flannelettes has been sold ud
and withdrawn. Cotton yarns sre weak
and tending lower.- An Irregular volume
of ordering ls noted in woolens and
worsted, and cotton goods have again'
been adversely Influenced by a wide fluc
tuation In the price of the staple. There
Is a lack of new business of account in
footwear and buyers generally believe
that prices will decline. New Rngland
manufacturers are firm, but reports from
the east note that split shoes have sold
at lower figures, made possible by the
lower prices for splits.
Further weakness has developed In hides
and -aales of packers have been made at
sharp declines.
BHADJTREET'S RRVIEW OF TlttDK
Reports Are Irrearnlar Because of
Blockades Due to Rlorm.
NEW YORK, Feb. J6 Bradstryet's today
says: .
Trade reports are rather, more Irregular.
Stormy, cold weather over wide areas of
country have apparently rutardd the ex
pansion of spring Jobblsg trade, but never
theless distribution has kept up well, In
advance of last year In fact, and distinct
gains in the volume of house trade are re
ported at tnany points.' -
Conservatism In piecing orders Is still
the keynote of wholesale trade in several
Hues. I'nsatlsfactory margins of profit Is
the cause assigned for the announcement
that print cloths mills at Fall River will
reduce running time one day pt-r week In
clement weather has helped trade In heavy
ahoes and rubbers and these lines are bus

ELECTIVE LORDS BATTLE CRY
Ministry Will Couple This with Limi

FEAR TO STAND ON SINGLE HOUSE
Cabinet Holds a, Session Lasting;
Three Hours on the Program
to Bo Presented Neat
Monday.
LONDON, Feb. 26. Premier Asqulth had
an audience today with King Edward at
Buckingham palace and the circumstance
has given rise to many fantastic reports.
The fact seems to be that the premier,
after yesterday's cabinet counoil, asked for
today's ' audience with the object of
acquainting his majesty with the proposed
modifications of the government's attitude
toward the .principal questions dealt with
In the speech from the throne.
That modification of the cabinet's
original plans have been forced by the
rebellious radicals and nationalists Is not
to be doubted, but the cabinet represented
as having decided not to countenance, the
demands of the extremists that all men
tion of a reform of the House of "Lords
should be dropped from the government's
plan.
The ministerial view, or at lcasU.JjV
view of an important section of the minis
try, is that if Its program Is confined to
a proposal on the question of veto, pure
and. simple. It would effect the proposal
for a single ohasiber government, to which
plan the country would be opposed. '
In all probability, therefore, a plan for
the limitation of the lords' veto will be
coupled with the constitution scheme. In
which the elective prlnolple will be sub
stituted for the hereditary practice. The
ministerialists consider - that "an elective
versus an hereditary principle" will be
a good battle cry with which they may
appeal to the country when the time comes
for the election, which la inevitable before
their proposal can be embodied In the con
stitution. Today's cabinet council was prolonged
unusually. The ministers required thrJe
hours In which to reach a deolsion onHhe
plans to be presented In the Houst of
Commons on Monday, when they will be
obliged to come Into close grips with the
questions of finance and the veto power r
the lords.
Subsequently, Premier Asqulth and most
of the other members of the cabinet left to
spend the week-end in the country,'" here
they will be out of the reach of "rtltls,"
whose parrying during tl.e lat week har
made life burdensome fur them.

If we get power from food, why not
strive to get all the power we can. That
Is only possible by use of skilfully se
lected food that exactly fits the require
ments of the body.
Poor fuel makes a poor fire and a poor
fire Is not a good steam producer.
"From not knowing how to select tht
right food o fit my needs, I suffered
grievously for a long time from stomach
troubles," writes a lady from a little
town In Missouri.

ror me. Hardly anythng that I could
eat would stay on my stomach. Kvery
attempt gave me heart-burn and filled
my stomach with gas, I got thinner, and
thlnnner until I literally became a living
skeleton and In time, was compelled to
keep to my bed. ' v
"A few months ago I was persuaded to
try Grape-Nuts food, and It had such
good effect from the very beginning that
I have kept up Its use ever since. I wss
surprised at the ease with which I di
gested It. It proved to he Just what I
needed.
All my unpleasant symptoms, tht
heart-burn, the Inflated feeling which
gave me ao much pain disappeared. My
weight gradually Increased from g to

strength came back, and I am now ahls
to do my house work and enjoy. It. O'Ji,'
