MEN AND WOMEN INTERESTED.

at is astonishing" said one Of our
physicians the other evening, show
many of the ordinary diseases people
suffer from come from the one cause
excess of uric acid in the blood.
TO discover medicine that would
dissolve this acid has puzzled thous-
ands of the best men Of the medical
profession, until DR.. David Kennedy,
of Rondout, N. Y, produced what is
known the world over as DR.. Xennedy's
Favorite Remedy. The great value
we place in Fayorite Remedy comes
from the fact that it is the only medi-
cine that will effectually dissolve this
acid thus curing rheumatism, dyspep
sia, kidney, liver and urinary troubles
and the sicknesses women suffer from
These and many more troubles all
come from the one cause, as / said
before, this dea,h dealing uric acid"
Perhaps there has been no one per-
son in Wyoming Co., Pa, that has
suffered more than Mrs. Carrie Bou-
ton, formerly Of Schottville, but now
Of Harvey's Lake, Luzerne Co. Mrs.
Bouton, in relating her restoration to
health, said: "From a growing girl
l suffered from female trouble or weak
ness peculiar to my sex. Several ply
sicians prescribed for me but l found
no relief. was reduced in flesh down
to 6S pounds. By accident l heard
of DR.. Kennedy's Favorite Remedy
and determined to try it, and to my
great JOY I began to realize that had
found medicine that was doing me
good. l think l had used FIVE bottles
when I found that l weighed I2Ii
pounds sad was better in health than
l ever was before.
Inquiry among Mrs. Bouton's neigh
bors shows that she states nothing but
the facts in regard to her case. Many
other instances Of the kind are widely
talked of in Scottsville, 1unkhannock,
Wilkesbarre and other places where
DR.. Kennedy's Favorte Remedy has
effected many cures after physicians
had given up hope.
"But," says one Of our prominent
druggists, ''Favorite Remedy is equally
efficacious in other diseases, as talks
with people have sold Favorite Re-
medy to affirm. TO my knowledge
right in our town Favorite Remedy
has cured people suffering from rheu-
matism, dyspepsia, kidney, liver and
urinary troubles"
Since the publication in one OF the
New York medical journals of the
case of Mr.. E. P. layer, of East Mas.
sau, n. Y, DR.. Kennedy's Favorite
Remedy has been increasing in sale.
Mr.. layer had suffered for fifteen
years with infiammatory rheumatism.
His case was practically abandoned
by MS physicians. Favorite Remedy
was brought to his notice and in less
than three months after its use he was
q well man.
In commenting on this case DR.. w.
II. Morse, Of New York CITY, SAYS
The great good in Favorite Remedy
lies IN Its power to dissolve this dead
ly uric acid. In cases of dyspepsia,
eczema, scroiula or any urinary di.
seases have never known it to fail,
when taken according to directions.
DIR. Kennedy's Favorite Remedy is not
only used by physicians now but can
be found on sale by every medicine
dealer Wilkes Barre (Pa) Times.

The President and the Office e-Seekers.

From morning until one o'clock in
the afternoon Mr.. Cleveland stands at
his desk, for he does not encourage
continued conversation by sitting down,
and receives the office-beggars, and
their supporters Senators and Rep.
resentatives are among his most cons
tant callers and most importunate
claimants. Some of these public men,
WHO are supposed to be selected to
perform the duties of craftsmanship,
are daily visitors at the White House.
They apparently regard the President
as an almoner for their constituents,
and as bound to devote himself to
their political interests. Therefore
they insist that he shall give them all
his time listening to their appeals for
patronage, and taking part in their
struggles for ascendency in their States
and districts. Three-fourths of the
Presidents visitors are applicants for
subordinate positions, and compel the
President to appear to take an inter-
est in matters which he ought not to
consider. 1t has been stated that he
tries not to remember what is said to
him, and he certainly will never think
of many an applicant or his petition
after the first audience is over.
After one o'clock the White House
is closed to visitors, and the Presidents
intention is to work at the tasks that
are demanding attention, and to con-
slider the correspondence which is
piling up ominously. But the Office
seeker does not leave him a quiet
hour. During the afternoon and even
ing men of importance send him their
cards, and would be deeply offended
if they were not received to talk about
post. Offices, consulates, and other less
important matters. Even the cabinet
meetings are partly devoted to the
consideration Of patronage, and if the
President secures an hour alone during
the working day he considers himself
fortunate.
This is an outrage on tho President
and the country, but appeals address
ed to the patriotism or selfrespect or
common humanity of the patronage
beggars are useless. They will not
relent. They insist on wearing out
the President and the members of the
cabinet, and in compelling the post
ponement of the public business to
their greed for place. The only reme-
dy lies in the Presidents hands. He
ought not to listen to single appli-
cant or to a word from public man
in behalf OF any single applican. or to
word from public man in behalf
of any office-seeker unless he invites
the conference. Every application
should be made in writing. The rule
should be inhexible. Then, if a re-
moval is to be made for cause, and
the President is in doubt on the papers
submitted, he may invite fuller ex-
planatlon. But no, one, no matter
what may be his position or influence,
should be permitted to intrude upon
him. The present condition of things
is not only undlgnihed, it is disgrace

MURDERED Two WOMEN
Harper Whitmiere Kills His Mother in
Law, Who Held a Mortgage on His
Farm, and Her Daughter.

BUTLER, Pa, Dec. 5-A terrible
tragedy occurred near St. Joe Station
eight miles from Butler, early this
morning. Mrs. @. Hepler, with her
daughter, Flora. recently married TO
James Martin, and her sCnL Nathan.
reside In q large, comfortable frame
house near st. Joe Station. Mrs Hep
Ter is about fifty years old and her
daughter about twenty-five. Harper
WhiGmiere, who is married to another
daughter of Mrs. Hepler, has been with
the family several days.
Whitmiere is about forty years of
age and has been unfortunate for some
time. His mother-in law was quite
wealthy and held a heavy mortgage on
Whitmiere's farm. They did not get
along well together. L. Notham has
charge of a number Of oil wells on his
mothers farm.
Notham returned home from work
about nine o'clock this morning. and,
instead of finding the house in It's
usually orderly condition and break
fast ready, everything was turned up
side down. Trunks were open, boxes
and drawers had been ransacked. En-
tering an adjoining room Notham
found his mother lying In deaths
agony, horribly mutilated and just
breathing her last. There was a ter
rible cash in her forehead, showing
where the fatal blow had been struck,
apparently with the broad blade of a
Ratchet. Nearby was the body of his
sister, Flora, her throat cut from ear
to ear. Evidently she had been dead
having been roughly handled.

horror, but in a moment recovered
presence cf mind and ran to the village
station and gave the alarm. A num-
Der of men who were awaiting the de-
parture of the train for Butler went
with him to the house.
Ply sicians were hastily summoned
and succeeded in restoring Mrs. HeDler
to mOmentary consciousness; she sank
rapidly, no Fever, and died al 11o'clOck.
The county officers were summoned 1y
telegraph and are at work on the case.
Whltmiere has disappeared and the
crime has been charged against him.
Sheriff elect Campbell, of Oakland
township, said that about six o'clock
Harper Whitmiere came to the house
of his brother, Samuel Whitmiere. and
asked him for the loan of a revolver.
Sam questioned him "a to what be
wanted with the weapon and Harper
replied:
Il have killed two women and I
want to make an end of myself" Sam
refused to lend the revolver and adj
vised his brother to give himself up.
On this Harper left and disappeared
over the hills. Since that time nothing
has been heard of him.
Before death, Mrs Hepler recovered
consciousness sufficiently to give the
information that the murder had been
committed by her son-in law, Harper
%hitmiere.
There is great excitement, and should
Harper Whitmiere be captured, it is
doubtful whether he would have the
opportunity to stand trial.

BANK PRESIDENT ACCUSED.
A Receiver Appointed for the Chicago
Trust and Savings Bank.

4IuSC anu savings bauk.
CHICAGO. Dec. 5-Judge Horton late
this evening appointed William NJ.
Robertson receiver for the Chicago
Trust and Savings Bank. His appoint
ment was the result of proceedings in
chancerY against Daniel Fl, TOlman.
President of the institution. This &C
ton was The outcome of the meeting
Of the Board of Directors to day, at
which resolutions were adopted charg-
ing Tolman with mismanagement and
converting and misappropriating large
sums of money of money belonging to
the bank. It was ordered that a suit
be instituted in chancery in the Circuit
Court of this county in behalf of the
bank against TOlman praying for an
accounting of all his accounts and do
ings as President and Manager of this
bank, for a decree for a payment of all
moneys for which he may be held
liable to the bank, and for the appoint
ment of a receiver to take possession
of the remaining assets of the bank
and conduct the same for the interests
of its stockholders.
The institu ion was originally incor-
porated in April, 1869, as the PENN
sula Loan and Trust Company, and it

county. In February, 1885, the bank
was removed to Chicago. and its name
changed to the Chicago Trust and
Savings Bank. At the same time it's
capital stock was increased from S., 600
$3.50, 900. This last amount of stock
was fully subscribed. In August, 1886,
the capital stock was increased to
$500, 900.
Several months ago the Board of
Directors decided to cease business, pay
off the depositors, wind up the banks
affairs and distribute the assets among
the stockholders. In conformity with
this, business was stopped, and for sew
eral months the bank has been paying
off its depositors.
The bill sets out that President Toll
man has informed the directors that
he is an unpaid depositor of the bank
to the amount of $175, 900; that his
brother, s. A. Tolman, Is an unpaid
depositor also, to the amount of $25,-
600; that there is about $50, 600 owing
to the savings depositors, and that the
entire assets consist of q little over
$500, 600. This amount consists of notes
and bills receivable, a large majority
of which is past due and uncollectible,
and that it is doubtful if the stockhold-
ers Will receive anything on account of
their interest when the business is set
tied up.
About the year 1890, Mr.. Tolman re-
ceived permission to make a special
deposit of 5000. 900. on which the bank
was to pay him 8 per cent. interest,
and he turned over to the bank uncol-
Iectible notes, bearing interest at z per
cent, and credited himself with their
face value. In his transactions with
the bank over these uncollectible
papers the officials declare that he has
secured in interest and otherwise the
sum Of at least 500, 600.
