POLITICAL HISTORY The Iowa State Bystander has been for the past few weeks and will be for a few more weeks giving our readers the political history of the various candidates for the different offices on the Republican ticket, in this county and state, so that our many readers may study the character of the candidate, the history for yourself, that you may be intelligently informed as to the merits and demurges of each man.

PROUTY FOR CONGRESS. Judge S. F. Prouty, candidate for congress from the Seventh Iowa district against Capt. John A. T. Hull, has been found invariably to be on the right side of every reform movement. In his contest against Capt. Hull, Judge Prouty has emphasized the consistency of his alignment with Senator Cummins since the latter began his fight against the old organization in the republican party. These two men have always stood for certain principles, much to the rank and file of citizenship of both races. As a result they have received the support of this class of voters who are really the mathest of the party. Judge Prenty's career, as a lawyer and jurist is notable; he has never known a moment of prejudice and it is to this openness of mind and heart that he owes his large following among the colored race. The issues for which he and Senators Cummins and Dolliver are now fighting, [Image of a man in a suit with a tie and a serious expression]. M. J. JOHN H. HARRIS LINGENFELTER FOR STATE SENATE.

The old regime of democracy, with its rank and bitter prejudices against class and race, was doomed to fall. None the less fated is the circle within the circle of republicanism—where the policy of discrimination is of first importance. Judge Prouty is, to use that much abused term, a self-made man. At sixteen he was granted a certificate to teach school. That opened the way from poverty to education and independence. With the money thus earned he was enabled to enter Pella university, and he sawed wood and did janitor work that year to keep up with current expenses. Then he indiana two years, making his way to college, twenty-four he had been teacher four years in Pella university and was at that time elected a member of the state legislature.

COWNIE IS BLAMED By Board of Control for Outbreak at Mitchellville Reformatory REPORT MADE TO GOVERNOR The State Board Takes Up In Detail the Hearings and Quotes From 'Witnesses as They Are' Des Moines, May 6. Following are some of the conclusions reached by the members of the present: state board of control in its exhaustive report of the conditions at the Mitchellville girls' industrial school. The report covers 181 typewritten pages and gives in detail the testimony of seventeen witnesses, most of whom were the girls at the institution. The Governor, Counsellor, largely responsible for the lack of discipline and the unrest and that many of the complaints of the girls, were, by their own testimony, untrue. The report was filed with Governor Carroll by the members of the board and is signed by all of them. The evidence taken and knowledge otherwise acquired force us to the conclusion that the late chairman of the board of control was the chief factor in causing the outbreak. Miss Garrison objected to the boisterous girls and the girls and to his habit of putting his hands on and being familiar with them. Mr. Cowle criticised the food in the presence of the girls. His course was such that at times girls would refuse to obey their officers. Mr. Cowle told the girls that Miss Garrison was mean and quarrelsome and could not manage the institution. Another cause of the trouble was raising the maximum age limit from 15 to 17 years. The girls are not allowed to wear coats. Music has not been prohibited. There is an orchestra of ten pieces. There are pianos in every cottage. Summed up the report is as follows: "When the present superintendent took charge the discipline was lax and the inmates inclined to disorder. The modes and methods of discipline in force before and after Miss Garrison took charge were the same in general character. Corporal punishment was used by Mr. Fitzgerald and Mr. Garrison, prior to March 15 last it was infrequent and mild. Since that time there have been several outbreaks and the punishment inflicted in one or two of the later ones was more severe than formerly and an unusual number of girls were punished, but we do not find that it was inhumane. It seems to have had the effect of ouleting the girls and they are now receiving compatiably little punishment. They have been quiet for several weeks. We have learned the methods of discipline now in vogue and do not think any of them inhumane or subject to just criticism." GROCERS ELECT OFFICERS Committee Empowered to Name City for Next Meeting Will Probably Select Cedar Rapids.

Des Molines, May 6—Progressive republicans will hold a meeting at the Coliseum next Tuesday night. May 10. Senators Cummins and Dolliver will be the speakers. Thomas C. Shotwell, one of the greatest market reporters in America, writes from New York, under date of March 20th, and says: "The Tariff tangle with Canada which President Taft has taken in hand is of importance chiefly because of the multitude of American farmers that are crossing into the Canadian northwest. Most conservative estimates of their number place it at 150,000 for 1910. Some say as many as 250,000 will cross. These are all expert farmers and their places in the United States are being filled by untrained men from Europe and from the cities. Canada is gaining rapidly in agricultural importance and within a few years the United States will have to call on the Dominion for more aid. The United States is not keeping pace with the population. A tariff war would complicate the problem of getting food. Even now Canadian farmers are getting higher prices for their cattle on the hoof and Canadian housewives are paying less for meat in the butcher shops than farmers and housewives are receiving and paying in the United States. The tariff on cattle and wheat must be removed as between the two countries before long." HIGH IN THE AIR, TOO. First Contractor—Why did you stop that sky-scraper at 22 stories?

AWFUL BURNING ITCH CURED IN A DAY "In the middle of the night of March 30th I woke up with a burning itch in my two hands and I felt as if I could pull them apart.

I was red and raw from the top of my head to the soles of my feet and I was in continual agony from the itching, could not move or sit. I went to see about Cucurita Remedies and I thought I would give them a trial. I took a good bath with the Cucurita Soap and used the Cucurita Ointment.

STATE RESTS IN NYDE TRIAL STATE RESTS IN NYDE TRIAL MRS. MARGARET SWCPE TELLS HER STORY TO JURY. She Contradicts Defense's Declaration Concerning Division of Colonel's Estate. Kansas City, Mo. — Mrs. Margaret Swope, widow of Logan O. Swope, told her story to the jury in the trial of her son-in-law, Dr. B. C. Hyde, for the murder of Col. Thomas H. Swope, her brother-in-law. After describing the events between September 12 and December 18, she told with much feeling of receiving from her son, Thomas, the fragments of capsules he had found in the snow where Doctor Hyde had thrown them. Mrs. Swope told how she fastened the pieces to a card and soon afterwards telephone for Col. Austin, her attorney. She washed her son hand after smelling the fingers. The odor suggested almonds. Mrs. Swope said that she, Doctor Hyde and Colonel Hunton discussed the residuary estate which Colonel Swope intended to leave to some charity. They talked of how the estate would be divided among the relatives, if the will remained unchanged. This contradicted the defense's declaration that when Colonel Swope died Mrs. Hyde and her husband did not know whether or not they would receive the estate. Mrs. Swope described the seizure of Mose Hunton and his death from apoplexy. Her voice failed frequently and she, was obliged to cease speaking for a few seconds to regain control of her emotions. Doctor Hyde and Mrs. Hyde, a few feet away, watched her closely and listened eagerly to every word. With Mrs. Swope's testimony in the state rested its case.

Was Taking No Chances. Once upon a time a fond mother disappeared. This was the more awkward because the young lady had picked the young man out. Also he had wealth. And the mother, who 'was widowed, had not the wherewithal to furnish her daughter with the variety of frocks and things which her youthful heart craved. "I might not object to the man so much," said the mother one evening. "If you would only let me see him. But here is a man whom I have never set eyes on, and yet one whom you insist in reading a husband. I don't understand such secrecy!" The daughter replied: "If I ever introduced him you'd insist on marrying him yourself." Obviously. A Denver man who visited the museum at City Park recently tells of a farmer he saw there.

It is well known to be a simple combination of the laxative and carminative principles of plants with pleasant aromatic liquids, which are agreeable and refreshing to the taste and acceptable to the system when its gentle cleansing is desired. Only those who buy the genuine Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna can hope to get its beneficial effects, and as a guarantee of the excellence of the remedy, the full name of the company—California Fig Syrup Co. is printed on the front of every package, and without it any preparation offered as Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is fraudulent and should be declined. To those who know the quality of this excellent laxative, the offer of any substitute, when Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is called for, is always resented by a transfer of patronage to some first-class drug establishment, where they do not recommend, nor sell false brands, nor imitation remedies.

The man who runs his own car wants a trouble-proof car, which he can drive and care every day, but we never yet have been able to make as many as people wanted. Easy to Operate The Overlander operate by pedal control. One goes backward or forward, fast or slow. The Overlander can be simple as walking, and the hands are left to free to steer. The Overlander has fewer parts than any other automobile. One part is made to take the place of many. It is free from complexities. The operations are all automatic. A novice could run an Overland from coast to coast the first time he tried. One would need 7,000 miles without stopping the engine. Very Low Prices The Overlands are made—as watches are made—by modern automatic machinery. And we devote a whole factory to one model alone.

Now Let Us Grow Yours with PORO TRADE MARK REGISTERED. When we first began our wonderful work of growing all kinds, all qualities, all lengths, and all conditions of hair, even to the growing of hair on bald places of the head, many persons scorned the idea that such a thing was possible; but we have grown the hair for hundreds; rapidly achieving success. The proof of the value of our work is that we are being imitated and largely by persons whose own hair we have actually grown and the further fact that they have very frequently mentioned us when trying to sell their goods (saying that theirs is the same or "just as good") or referred to PORO. We advise you to use only PORO Hair Grower, (the oldest and best of its kind.) See that the same PORO is on every box, not genuine without it. Prepared only by Mrs. A. M. PORF.
