dense, milky appearance, besides
leavinga brick-colored stain on the vessel,
which would require scrubbing to eradi-
cate. About three months ago / met your
agent, Mr.. Simpson, who advisedmeto trya
bottle of your Sarsaparilla, and after much
urging did try it, and am forced to say
that the result is truly wonderful. am
no longer obliged to get up in the night,
my urine has no sediment, and l feel that

IT'S SECRETARY FOSTER.
His Name Sent to the Senate Satur-
day-An Accept able Choice.

WASHINGTON, February 21.-The Presi-
dent today sent to the Senate the nomina-
tion of Charles Foster Of Ohio to be Secre-
tary Of the Treasury.
Hon. Charles Foster. . the gentleman
whom the President has today appointed
Secretary of the Treasury, was born
at Tifin, Ohio, in April, 1928. After receiv-
ing his education at Norwalk Academy he
became successful merchant. He was al
ways interested, more or less, in politics, but
held no office until 1870, when he was elected
to Congress as Republican. He was three
times reelected, although his district each
time gave Democratic majority on the gen.
eral ticket. He was elected governor of
Office from January, 1880, till January, 1884.
His administration was marked by efforts
to regulate the sale of intoxicating liquors.
The Ex-Governor has been talked of for some
time as the late Secretary WINDOWS success
or, and it is likely that his nomination will
give satisfaction to the Republican party.

the pay of district judges was passed, 148 to
SO, and the post Office bill was taken up. The
paragraphs relating to transportation of
mails by the trunk lines caused much debate
but we're finally sustained. Without action
on the bill the committee rose.

CINCINNATI, o., December ID.
A special to the Times Star from Spring
field says: The Farmers Alliance hiss
appointed q committee to get the mann
moth Street shops here to manufacture
machinery and TO oppose the American
Harvester Company, the combination OF
harvesting machinery manufacturers. They
propose forming a stock company, no one
to furnish over $1,000, and to furnish ma
chinery at cost TO alliance members.
NoTE.-The above movement by .ae al
lance was necessitated By the fact that
about one month before the different man
ufacturers of Mowers and Reapers had
formed a trust, with a capital of about
$2O,OO6,O00. whose object is 70 destroy
competition among themselves, and being
protected by the Mckinley Tariff Bill will
advance the prices Of their machines, thus
forming another link in the chain, which
"our" (S) High Protective Tariff, that tar
IN disguise, and the child of bitterly par
tisan government, is now forging around
the farmers, laborers, artisans, and in fact
around all who are dependent on manual
labor for themselves and their families.
God help these poor individuals and their
families if they don't soon help themselves.
