WARRING ARMY OFFICERS.

DENVER. Col, Oct. 1.-THE News to-day
says that Lieut.. Col. Henry E. Noyes, of
the Second Cavalry, recently transferred
from a post in Arizona to Fort Logan,
has preferred charges against Gen. McCook,
and that the Generals recent trip to Wash
ington was made partly in consequence
of these charges. According 10 the News,
Lieutenant Colonel Noyes, while on duty in
New Mexico, incurred the i'll will of citi-
zens. and complaint was filed with Gen.
McCook. The Lieutenant Colonel reported
that the duty was such as was demanded
by circumstances. General McCook relieved
him from the post, which he occupied and
Immediately laid the matter before the de-
partment at Washington. An active corre-
spondence followed, and Lieutenant Colonel
Noyes wound up by preferring charges
against the General. AS the policy of the
War Department is to avoid publicity of

of high rank, it is thought there will be no
formal hearing of the case. AS the mat

MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING.
General Miles Referred to Debs, and
Not to President Cleveland.

Oct. 1~7.-Emphatic denial was
made at division army headquarters to-day
of a story that the War Department con-
strued a portion of General Miles's annual
report as a reflection upon President Cleve-
land and the ~latter's action in connection
with the railroad strikes. General Miles is
out of the city in the Indian Territory, but
Captain Higgins, one of his aids, said the
story of a controversy between the General
and the War Department over the report is
without foundation. I'm my opinion" said
Captain Higgins. "the story is entirely
without foundation. There is no reason, at
these headquarters, to suppose that any
such construction was put at the War De-
partment on General Miles's report. 1t is
difficult to see how any one can place any
such construction on the report, particular
ly as any criticism of the President by an
army officer would be an act of the gross
est INSTRUMENTATION and subversive of all
discipline. The remark in the report upon
which the story is based referred to some
thing that was said by Debs, but L am I'M
able at this moment to remember the ex-
act remark or where it was made"
The anguage of General Miles which was
alleged to have been a reflection on the
President. while in reality, according to
was that the action of the army had con-
tributed to the maintenance of civil law.
from a serious rebellion when one had been
publicly declared to exist by the one most
responsible for existence"
Col. j. Il. Martin, assistant adjutant-gen-
eral of the Department of Missouri, de-
clares positively and emphatically that the
General did not mean President Cleveland

any one but Debs and his coadjutors."

..Combtne, Of Potters.

PITTSBURG, Oct. E.-Representatives of
the leading pottery manufactures of the
country were in session IN this city to-day.
The purpose OF the gathering is to effect an
organization which aims TO create uni
formity in prices with a view to ending
the competition that has been GO
ing on for more than a year. Re-
peated attempts have been made by
leading firms to prevent the slashing of
rates, but all were signal failures. Now
there is a disposition on the part of all the
companies to join forces. 1t was said that
the meeting proposed advancing the price
at once on all lines, but those in authority
say there Will be no stiffening OF prices
for some time, as conditions will not admit
of such a course. There are thirty-six
firms represented at the meeting and with
more TO hear from. The conference will
last several days.

A KINGLY TREASURE.
Al d One Which Is of Priceless
Value.
II Is Within the Reach Of Every One Who
Wants II.
A Subject Which is Interesting People All Over
This Wide Lard.

The greatest treasures are those which
bring the most good. which do the most
towards benefiting mankind. Everywhere
we go we see sickness and suffering, until
it seems as though there was not a per-
fectly healthy person in existence. And
such is about the case, for there are very
few who are not troubled in some way.
The most common complaint is nervous
ness. There are thousands who would not
acknowledge they were nervous, and yet
they feel weak and tired, and their actions
show their nerves are weak and irritable
This is a dangerous condition to neglect.
for it often leads to nervous prostration
or other serious diseases.
All kinds of nervous and chronic diseases
are f~earfully common. and the remedy hat
will cure them may we'll be called a kingly
treasure. Such a medicine exists. and 1t
is constantly curing these diseases. Read
what Mrs. w. H. Smith, of "a Sutton street,
Providence. r. l.. has to say about 1t:
Il was taken sick five years ago with the
grippe. 1t left my whole system and spe-
cially my nerves in a terribly weak con-
dition. 1 was dreadfully nervous, and lost
almost complete control of myself. / was
all discouraged and did not know what 1
should do.
MY limbs were swollen, my feet ached
and 1 had pains all over my body. 1 got
scarcely any sleep, and what little / did
get did me no good. 1 took many RENE
dies but without benefit. Finally, hearing
DR.. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve rem
edy highly recommended, 1 determined to
use it.
after taking one bottle 1 was almost en-
tirely cured of all my troubles. My nerves
were strong, the pains left me, the SWELL
ing disappeared, and 1 could sleep well.
Thanks to this wonderful medicine, 1 am
cured. 1 wish every sufferer might use ii"
The reason why you should take DR..
Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy
is, because it is the surest and quickest
medicine in its action known. 1t positively
and permanently cures all forms of nerv-
Gus weakness and exhaustion, invigorates
the blood and gives health and strength.
Take it now, for DR.. Greenes Nervura
blood and nerve remedy will do more for
you than any other remedy.
1t is the discovery and prescription Of
DIR. Greene, of 50 West 18th street, New
York city, the most successful specialist in
curing nervous and chronic diseases. He
can be consulted free, personally or by
letter. Don't miss this opportunity to get
well.
