Our Candidates.
A Brief Sketch of the Candidates who were nom
,. inated last Saturday.
GEORGE CARTWRIGHT,
candidate for county auditor may truly
be called a product of Decatur county.
He was born in the state of Ohio, Nov.
24, 1863, but came to Iowa and Decatur
county with his parents, Mr. and Mrs.
W. T. Cartwright, when he was but two
years of age. His parents settled in
Burrell township, and here George grew
to manhood, attending the Burrell and
Davis City schools where he secured a
good education. From boyhood he has
always been exceedingly popular with
everyone acquainted with him. He was
married to Miss Allie M. Reed, Dec. 24,
1391, and their union was blessed with
three children, the mother dying several
years ago, since which time Mr. Cart-'
wright has struggled very hard and kept
his children and home together with a
father's loye and tenderness. Mr. Cart
wright has lived in Burrell, New Buda,
Decatur and High Point townships, and
has an extensive acquaintance all over
the county. No one has ever heard a
word against George Cartwright. Since
his first vote he has always been a con
sistent worker for the success of the
democratic party. He is well qualified
.to discharge the duties of the oflice as
auditor, as he is careful and painstaking
in every undertaking. He writes a plain
neat hand and should the voters of
Decatur county elect him to the office
we feel sure they would never, have rea
son to regret their choice.
A. E* /MOORE.
candidate for clerk dtfttae diygX?^court
was born in BloomfieUji loifSS&SllMst.
«v'th
ii3*psmCflMPf868 and has Ueen a
dent of the county ever since, with the
exception of three brief intervals. He
attended school at the Northwestern
Normal and Business College at Stans
berry, Mo., at different times, teaching
.. between intervals. While atStansberry
College., his upright conduct and indus
trious habits won for him the greatest
respect of all the faculty and all who
knew him
Mr. Moore has been a member of the
county normal at different times, and
has never been required to take the
same grade the second time, always pas
tag from one grade to the next higher
until he received his diploma.
He waB married Dec. 28,1891, to Miss
Ida Starkey of this county and their
home has been brightened by the birth
of two children, a girl and a boy.
Mr. Moore owns a residence and three
acres of ground within the corporated
limits of Decatur City. He was selected
for the second term, last March, as city
clerk, and nominated as township clerk
at the caucus held 18 inst. (from which
he will withdraw his name.) During
the past season Mr. Moore has heen en
gaged in the nursery business with bis
lyS brother, they being the sole owners of
the Decatur City Nursery,
Mr. Moore has never been a candi
date for a county office before. He has
all the necessary qualifications for clerk
and will be elected by a large majority
MARION WOODARD.
s^t oandidate for county attorney was born
near Burlington, Iowa, Nov. 30, 1855,
and came to Decatur county with his
i. parents in the fall of 1866. His early
lite was spent on the farm, but he al
ways expressed a preference for law as a
profession. After attending the public
schools of Decatur county be entered
the law department of the State Uni
versity at Iowa City in 1881, graduating
with honor with the class of 1882. He
returned to Decatur City and commenc
ed, practicing removing to Leon in the
spring of 1888, since which time he has
been one of the prominent members
of the Decatur county bar and has
shown marked ability as an attorney in
the many cases he has tried in the
District court. Mr. Woodard has also
been admitted to practice in the Su
preme Court of Iowa, and in the nittd
States Federal Courts frequently appear
ing in both of them. He.is now serving
bis fourth term as Mayor of I^eon, and
has the reputation of making the best
mayor Leon ever had. Mr. Woodard
has always taken an active interest in
public school affairs and has twice been
elected a member of the Leon scheo1
board. He was married at Decatur
ou Dec. 24, 1879, to Miss Jessie Ward,
and has a family of four daughters. He
is a property owner and taxpayer, and
if elected county attorney would con
duct the oflice at all times in the in
terest of the taxpayers of Decatur
county, avoidingjf^kgive litigation
a
le State and offenders
without fear or favor. He is certainly
the man who the taxpayers and electors
of the county should put in the office
of county attorney, for he would well
and truly represent the people at all
times.
CHAS. H. BROWN,
candidate for county recorder was born
in Portage county, Ohio, Nov. 22, 1849.
With his parents he removed to Illinois
when he was 13 years ot age, and came
to Decatur county in 1870, since which
time with the exception of a short time
spent in Illinois he has been a resident
of Bloomington township. Mr. Brown
was united in marriage to Miss Harriet
G. West in September 1878. They have
two bright daughters. Mr. Brown owns
a fine farm of 260 acres Bloomington
township which he has made as the re
sult of his own hard labor. While re
siding in Bloomington township he was
almost constantly filling a township of
fice, not because he was seeking an oflice
but because his neighbors thought he
was the best qualified man in their
township. Helms served as justice of
the peace, assessor and township clerk
always giving the very best satisfaction
and no one ever found fault with his
services. In 1896 Mr. Brown, who had
heretofore been a republican voluntarily
renounced that party and allied himself
with the advocates of Bryan. Two years
later when his party was seeking a can
didate for the office of county recorder
he was selected as the man, although he
was not a seeker after the office and only
agreed to make the race at the urgeut
solicitation of his friends all over the
county. The result showed the wisdom
of their choice, foi with a republican
majority Ta the county of 232 votes Mr.
Brown was -/elected recorder by the
handsome majority of 649 votes a fitting
compliment to his popularity aiullRteg
rity. During the two years he has oc
cupied the office he has conducted it in
an entirely satisfactory manner to all
parties and has given his undivided
attention to the oflice. That he will be
re-elected by a safe majority is not even
questioned by those posted in politics.
The voters of Decatur county can cer
tainly do no better than re-elect Mr.
Brown to the office which he has filled in
such competent and accommadating
manner.
W. H. HAZLET,
candidate for member of the board of
supervisors was born in Iroquois county,
111., April 2,1862, and came to Iowa and
Decatur county in 187£, settling in tfden
township where he resided until five
years ago, when he leased Miss Allie
Gardner's farm a mile north-west of
Leon where he has since resided. He
was married to Miss Mary E. McCutchan
Aug. 23, 1883, and has a fine family of
seven children, six girls and one boy
Mr. Hazlet is a thorough up-to-date
progressive farmer and stock raiser,
His herd of Ked Poll cattle is one of the
finest in the state and he makes a
success of everything he undertakes.
While residing in Eden township he
filled numerous township offices in a
very satisfactory manner. Although
living on a leased farm Mr. Hazlet is
also a property owner and taxpayer,
owning 175 acres of farm land in Eden
township. Billy Ha/.let is just the kind
of a man needed on the board of sup
ervisors and if the electors of Decatur
county elect him to the mo3t responsi
ble office he will attend to the county's
business in the same careful and busi
ness like manner in which be has con
ducted his business affairs. He has
never been an office seeker and was
not a oandidate for this nomination he
has received, but his many friends
thought he was the man for the office
and the voters unless we are mistaken
will take the same view of the matter
and elect him in November,

Crop Bulletin.
The past week was warmer tltnii usual
with soirie excess* of ruinhill in numer
ous localities. On the night of the 23rd
some local damage resulted from wind
storms of considerable severity. But
little progress Has been made in thresh
ingin the nortlibru and central sections,
where considerable small grain yet rs
mains in shock) In damaged condition.
In the southern section grain is general
lyithreshed or in stack.
The corn crop is rapidly nearing ma
turity, and in all sections early planted
fields are about ready for the harvester
in a few localities cutting was in progress
at the close of the week. All reports in
dicate that, despite the local damage by
wind and hail, it will exceed all records
for the past ten or fifteen years.
The soil is generally in excellent con
dition for plowing, and unusual progress
has been made in that line. An abun
dance of fall pasturage is now assured,
which will be very helpful in view of
shortage of the hoy crop. A dry Sep
tember will improve the quality of all
unharvested crops. Fall apples are fair
abundant in the northern and soutb
•n sections, but the apple crop for the
state at large is unusually light, es
pecially the late fall and winter varie
ties'.

SAY CONTRACT IS VOIP.
Board of Supervisors and Tax Fer
rets Fail to Agree on Terms.
The board of supervisors was in ses
sion Tuesday considering the tax ferret
matter. It will be remembered that in
1896 the board entered into a contract
with F. M. Cunningham of Indiana, a
professional tax ferret, to go oyer the
Kinggold county records and discover if
possible, any property that had not been
reported to the assessors of different
townships. Mr. Cunningham was to re
ceive by the terms of his contract, one
half of the amount of taxes paid into
the county treasury as a result of his in
vestigations, which were to coyer a per
iod of five years. The state legislature
in session last winter changed the law,
stipulating that the investigations
should not go back of 1897, and that the
tax ferrets should not receive but 15 per
cent, of the amount collected for their
compensation. Contracts made before
the law went into effect were to be con
sidered invalid, unless the terms of the
new law were agreed to within thirty
days after it went into eflect. Neither
Mr. Cunningham nor his representative
appeared within the prescribed time to
make a new contract, and and the board
concluded that they had abandoned the
matter.
A few days ago, howeyer, Miss Maud
Worthing of Winterset, appeared at the
court house and announced that she
came to work for Mr. Cunningham in
making his investigations. Auditor
Wall promptly denied her access to the
recordB,not desiring to recognize the ex
istence of a contract either specific or
implied. On Monday Mr. E. E. Sluss
of Muncie, lnd., attorney for Mr. Cun
ningham, arrived in Mt. Ayr and
claimed the right to go to work under
the terms of the old contract. Auditor
Wall then sent word to the members of
the board of supervisors, asking them to
come to Mt. Ayr and give Mr. Sluss a
hearing. The matter was discussed at
some length and the board decided to
stand by their guns and refuse to recog
nize any contract. Mr. Sluss then
stated that he would do the work under
the old contract, present his bills for al
lowance to the board, and if they are
rejected, sue the county for payment.
The correct status of the case will then
be determined. That is the way the
matter now stands and Miss Worthing
has begun work on the records.—Mt.
Ayr Record.
A remedy for nasal catarrh which is
drying and exciting to the diseased
membrane should not be used. What
is needed is that which is cleansing,
soothing, protecting and healing. Such
a remedy is Ely's Cream Balm. Price
50 cents at druggist or it wilt be mailed
by Ely Brothers, 56 Warren Street, New
York. The Balm when placed into the
nostrils, spreads over the membrane
and is absorbed. A cold in the head
vanishes quickly.

Hon. (jiio. S. Boutwell, one of the
original ami efentest of New England
republicans savs:
"The republican party must be over
thrown the candidates of the republi
can party must be defeated, and the
country must return to a policy of self
government, of justice, of pence, in
place of a policy of injustice, of vassa
lage, of war.
"The man and the party, the party
and the man, that shall redeem the
country from its policy of degredation
and that shall secure to Cuba, to Porto
Kico and to the Philippines the full and
immediate enjoyment of the right of
self-government, will deserve a place in
history by the side of the man who
abolished African slavery and saved the
American Union."
A Thousand Tongues
Could not express the rapture of
Annie E. Springer, of 1125 Howard St.,
Philadelphia, Pa., when she found that
Dr. King's New Discovery for consump
tion had completely cured her of a
hacking cough that for many years had
made her life a burden. All other rem
edies and doctors could give her no
help, but she says ot this Royal Cure—
"it soon removed the pain in my chest
and 1 can now sleep soundly, some
thing I can scarcely remember doing
before. I feel like sounding its praises
throughout the universe. So will every
who tries Dr. King's -New Discovery for
any trouble of the throat chest or lungs.
Price 50c and $1.00. Trial bottles free at
L. Van Werden's drug store every bot
tle guaranteed.
Every day witnesses new accessions to
the democratic ranks. The single tax
club of New York headed by 'Henry
George jr.. wheels into line for Bryan
and Stevenson with an appeal to the
thousands of earnest and intelligent
single taxers all oyer the country to join
with it in rolling up a democratic vic
tory. In a manifesto just issued this
club savs.
"We ally ourselyes with the demo
cratic party of this country in this presi
dential contest with a deep and fervid
conviction that such action is required
by the sacred cause of human rights.
"We solemnly pledge ourselves for
this struggle and we urgently call upon
our single Ux brethren throughout this
republic to join us heart and soul in an
earnest effort to carry to a triumphant
issue the candidacy of Bryan and Stev
enson."
Robbed the Grave.
A startling incident, of which Mr.
John Oliver of Philadelphia, was the
subject, is narrated by him as follows:
"I was in a most dreadful condition.
My skin was almost yellow, eyes sunk
en, tongue coated, pain continually in
back and 3ides, no appetite—gradually
growing weaker day by day. Three
physicians had given me up. Fortun
ately a friend adyised trying 'Electric
Bitters' and to my great joy and sur
prise, the flrst bottle made a decided
improvement. I continued their use
for three weeks and gin now a well man.
I know they saved my life, and robbed
the grave of another victim." No one
should fail to try them. Only 50 cents,
guaranteed, at L. Van Werden's drug
store.
In 1880 the issue on which the farmers
in this district repudiated Hepburn was
the Cullom bill. Anderson championed
the Reagan bill, a bill for maximum,
specific freight rates, while Hepburn
championed the Cullom bill, to estab
lish a commission to regulate inter-state
commerce. Hepburn was defeated, but
the Cullom bill was passed. Little by lit
tie we have seen the inter-state commis
sion pass into oblivion as a nonentity
and become of no force or Value. Hep
burn does nothing to remedy the evils,
and railroads in the state and nation are
again running things with a high hand,
old rates being established. Again it is
time for the farmers of the Eighth district
to rise up and say to this man who looks
after the interests of the corporations:
"We are through with you." The dem
ocratic party of Iowa and the nation
declare in favor of railway control and
regulation by the government and state.
Mr. McGinniS stands on that kind of a
platform and is a man who will use
every influence for just rates for the peo
ple and such amendments to the inter
state commerce law as will give the com
mission power to regulate rates and en
force its regulations. Send McGinnis to
congress and retire Hepburn to the pay
of the corporations he has served while
in the pay of the people.—Creston Ad
vertiser.

Pepsin Syrup Co.
Dear Sirs —I feel it my duty to write
to you and let you know how much
good your medicine lias done for me.
Twenty-three years ago I was taken with
some kind of stomach trouble and
tried everything I heard of. They did
me but little good. Three years ago
neuralgia set in on me and I got so poor
and weak that I could hardly walk—
couldn't work any. My husband re
ceived a book through the mail, adver
tising your medicine, and tie sent our
little boy to the drug store to get one
of your ten-cent bottles. I began to
use it. It is strange to say, but it's the
truth, the second dose I took gave me
lots of relief. I kept on UBing it till
used it nearly one year and now I am
nearly as strong as I used to be and can
do any kind of work. I recommend it
to all, for it seems to me it would cure
anybody. 1 have gotten several to use
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin and they
all say it has done them so much good.
God bless Dr. Caldwell and his medicine
for doing me so much good.

amount of labor where cattle and hofcs
fed on corn bring a handsome profit
where the climate is healthful and
churches and schools abound where
land is cheap and can be bought /Oit
