WARRINGTON NOTES.

The lan Marsh has repeated bis testimony
before The Committee of the House. The wit
ness i'd he bad sent money to Belknap while
Secretary of War, and handed various sums to
him personally, and had no apparent doubt
that the receiver knew what it was for. Marsh
asked BeIknap to appoint Evans post-trsder at
Fort Sill, and the reason of the request must
have been known.
The President has appointed Hon. John A.
Bentley, of Wisconsin, Commissioner Of Pen
sions, vice McGill resigned.
Marsh, in his testimony before the Congress.
sional committee, states that his attention was
called TO the article in the New York Tribune of
March, 1872, in relation to post-tradershi, - at
Fort SILL stating that Evans had paid Marsh
sf2 900 year for the place, etc. Marsh testi-
fed that he called Gen. Belknap's attention TO
the article, and asked who could have written
or inspired the article, when Gen. Belknap re-
piled he supposed il was the work OF Gen.
Hazen. Marsh explained the reason why he
went to Montreal after giving his testimony be-
fore the Committee on Expenditures in the
War Department. He apprehended when he
read the debate In the House which appeared
on the morning Of the day he left New Yorl,
that he might be indicted for q criminal Of
tense, and hence his anxiety to get out Of the
way Of arrest.
Kilbourne. the real estate pool man, has
been indicted by the grand jury for refusing
TO answer the questions of the House Com
mittoo.
The wife Of the witness Marsh has told Mr..
Uymers Committee what she knows about
the Beslpsp crookedness, which turns out TO
be very kite. She says she understood that
tho Fort !Sdl tradership was a matter between
her Lusiarss and Mrs. Belknap and that, so
far rs her knowledge went, Belknsp knew
nothing about =. She was Intercepted re-
garding Pendleton's railroad claim, but knew
nothing about 1t whatever.

dition sent out to the Black Hills Feb.
8 by the citizens here to inspect routes
and investigate the gold question, have
reached Fort Randall ON their return.
They have telegraphed an epitome of
their report, stating that they found
gold in numerous places in paying guam
titles, magnificent country, much of
it adapted to agriculture, and unlimited
quantities of good pine forlumber. The
party is made up of old California miners
and practical men. ALI reports concern
ing suffering on the Dakota southern route
are false. Not single case has been
reported. Parties leaving here in Feb
ruary with OK teams reached the Hills in
twenty days travel.

at Cabinet meeting the other day, the rev.

Members Of the House Judiciary Committee,
including Republicans, say the testimony
given by Marsh before that committee is
stronger than his testimony before the Com
mittee on Expenditures in the War Depart
ment and that II Ii 30 CONCLUSIVE OF den Del
knap's guilt that he cannot escape.
1t lis positively asserted from Washington
that, should Congress repeal the Resumption
act, the President will interpose his veto.
The House will hereafter hold evening ses-
sions three days in the week-Tuesdays,
Wednesdays and Thursdays. This is for the
purpose of hurrying up work. and is strong
indication upon the part of the House to Sc
cure an early adjournment. These evenings
will be devoted to work upon the appropriation
bills. This will give an opportunity OF allow
ing members to get rid of superiuous speeches.
Gen. Robert G. Schenck, late Minister to
England, was before the House Foreign Affairs
Committee last week, and explained at length
his connection with the Emma mine. His ex-
animation is said to have been very satisfactory
to his friends.

Impeachments.

There have been only six impeach-
ment trials before the United States
Senate, and but two persons were ever
convicted. The first case was that of
Senator Blunt, charged with treason in
1898, but there was no trial, the jurls-
diction of the Senate being denied on
the ground that Senator was not an
officer of the United States. Judge
Pickering, of New Hampshire, was found
guilty of drunkenness in 1903, and re-
moved. Judge Humphreys, of Ten
nessee, was impeached for treason early
in the war, and convicted. The most
celebrated trial, down to President John
sons, was that of Judge Samuel Chase,
of Maryland, who was impeachcd in
1904 for political partisanship in the
trials Of Fries and Callander for libel,
five years before. Chase was Fed
eralist, and these men were virulent
Democrats at time when the partisan
ship of the press was vastly more bitter
than it is now. The trial was the great
event of the day, but resulted in acquit-
tai. Chase was one of the signers of the
Declaration of Independence and great
spirit. Having once ordered sheriff
to summon q posse and take some rioters
to Jail, he was timidly answered that
nobody would respond. Summon me
then, and I'll take EN-" Numbered the
Judge. Aaron Burr's trial, one of the
few famous American state trials, was
after the expiration of his term Of Vice
President, and before jury on an in
dictment for high treason, of which he
was acquitted.

International Weights and Measures.

The President has sent to the Senate
for ratification metric treaty between
the United States and the Governments
of Germany, Austria, Belgium, Brazil,
theArgentine Republic, Denmark, Spain,
France, Italy, Peru, Portugal, Russia,
Sweden, Norway, Switzerland, Turkey
and Venezuela. The United States were
represented in this convention by Minis
ter Washburne. This treaty consists of
a number of articles to which the COM
missioners of the respective countries
agree as the best means for establishing
metric system of weights and measures.
The countries agree TO maintain at mu-
tual expense q permanent international
bureau of weights and measures at Paris.
The French Government is to construct
all necessary buildings. The bureau is
to be controlled by committee appoint
ed by the several countries. The duties
of the committee shall be the care and
verifcation of the standard. Any of the
contracting parties can abrogate the
convention as to itself on one years no

Youthful and Frisky.

He was an active-stepping old fellow,
with dyed hair and flashy appearance,
and when the conductor offered to stop
the car to let him off he proudly cried
out /: "Don't you do it-don't do it,
young man-I'm none of your banged-up
old stock that can't get off car when it's
in motion" And springing lightly from
the car he sat Immediately down-sat
down on the hard pavement like pile

got right up again, and while he shook
his fist ut the grinning conductor in the
distance he hobbled slowly off, mutter
ing prayer or something to himself

Wheat Looking In.

The advance in wheat during the week
will be received with gratitude by the
whole country. For an advance not only
implies higher prices but larger exports.
1t denotes a gap in the European mar
ket which the Mississippi Valley must
fill. Floods and high winds and unsea-
sonable weather have destroyed millions
of acres of growing crops in all the CEN
trail European wheat belt, and Russias
surplus has been materially reduced by
the discovery of the late serfs that they
are good enough to eat wheat -four.
Vessels outward bound will now have
freights and wheat will be likely to move
briskly during the next few weeks.
There is little danger of glut of the
foreign market, and the stock in store in
this city is twice as great as it was last
year this time.-NeiO York Graphic.

This Is often serious question with the
invalid. He finds the market flooded with
proprietary medicines, scores OF which are
recommended as certain cures for his pecul-
lar ailment. He reads the papers, circulars,
and almanacs, and finds each sustained by
plausible arguments setting forth its virtues
aud specific action. The recommendations
are as strong for one as for another. The
cures claimed 10 have been wrought by one
are as wonderful as those claimed 10 have
been wrought by another. In his pcrplexity
and doubt, the sufferer Is sometimes led To
reject all. But IL should be borne in mind
that this condition OF things Is one that can
notbe rcmedicd. inaland where all are free,
the good-the truly yaluable-must come
into competition with the vile and worth
less, and must be brought TO public notice
by the same fundamentally, which Is ddvsr-
tsing In such case, perhaps the only abb
solute proof that a remedy Is what IL claims
t. be, is to try IT, The test OF apudding
is the eating OF it," prove all things, hold
fast that which is good is the apostolic in
junction. There may, however, be stronger
resumptlye evidence in favor Of one RENE
dy than there IL in favor OF another, and
this should be allowed its due weight
due regard to this may save a vast amount
OF experimenting and a useless outlay Of
money. AS presumptive evidence In favor
Of DR.. Pierce's Family Medicines, the
Proprietor desires 10 say, that they are
prepared by a new and sclcntlhc proc
ess hy which the virtues OF the crude plants
and roots are extracted without the use
OF particle OF alcohol. Not n particle Of
this destroyer OF our race enters into the
composition Of either his Golden Medical
Discovery or Fayorite Prescription. This
consideration alone ought certainly 10 rank
them high above the vile compounds satu-
rated with alcohol, Jamaica rum, sour
beer, or vinegar, which are everywhere Of
fcrcd FOR sale. Again. they are OF uniform
strength and their virtues can never be i'm
paired by age. They are also made from
fresh herbs and roots, gathered in their APP
propriatc season, when they are flush with
medicinal properties. In support Of these
claims, the following testimony Is offered:
