Wealthy Postofiee Petition.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: On March
49, 1895, the citizens of Highland Township
in about six hours obtained nearly 400 in
dorser5 to petition for pestofiee at Ham
mer's, Pa, near Gettysburg. Pa. The aggre-
gate wealth of the petition will reach into
millions. All the bank officials, directors
of the poor, judge and ex-judges of the
court, editors of the County papers, Con-
gressmen and ex-Congressmen; all the at
torneys-at-law and merchants around Get
tysburg, County Commissioners, Chairmen
of the County Committees of all the parties,
Legislature, and all the court officials, all
the citizens of Highland Township. This is
supposed to-be the wealhiest petition ever
sent to the Department for County post
office. The Office is TO be at S. s. w. Ham
mer's store, which is in the center of all the
business places of Highland Township. The
Squire has been conveying the mail at his
own expense for the citizens for some years
from Gettysburg, and they now want him
to have IN Offices. S. w. HAMMER, Get
tysburg, Pa.

TO the real fullness Of wonanhood. Over
thirty years ago the needs of women APP
pealed TO Dr. Pierce, now chief consulting
physician to the Invalids' Hotel and Surg
ical Institute, Of Buffalo, N. Y. The result
Of his study improved by thirty years of
practice is embodied in DR.. Pierce's Fa-

pose. Ii strengthens, purifes and makes
healthy the organs distinctly feminine. It
gives weak women the strength and health
necessary for the production of healthy
children and il makes the bearing of those
children easy. 1t is sure to cure any weak
ness or arrangement peculiar to women;
stops pain, soothes inflammation, strength
ems, purifes, invigorates. Thousands of
homes have been made happy by its use.

House to consider carefully the charges pre-
lferre1 against Gen. Franklin, the President oil
the Board OF Managers, and Gov. Smith. The
charges. he said, were old. They had been in
yestiEsted, and the official report did not SUBJ
! stantiate them.
The afldavits produced by Mr.. Blue were en-
tirely ex parte. The trouble at Leavenworth
arose out of complaints and charges made by
the Post Surgeon, DIR. Weaver He reviewed the
testimony in the official report of the investi-
CATION TO show that the charges had been in no
way snbstsntiated. He read many testimonials
TO the high character and ability of Gov. Smith.
With regard to Gen. Franklin, he said to those
who knew him be needed no defense. He had
been urged for reelection by members OF the
Board, who knew his high character and quail
ications
In conclusion, Mr.. Curtis paid magnificent
personal tribute TO Gen. Franklin. He had
been his friend since the early days OF the war,
and he spoke of his old preceptor in the art of
war in terms of love and devotion.
Mr.. Steele (Ind.) a member of the Board of
Managers, made an impressive defense of the
Board. Mr. Blues statement that what he did
not know about the Soldiers Home would fill a
took, he said, was true, although he had been
an active member of the Board for four years.
But" he continued, what / know about
such charges as are brought in here would fill
a u brary. Every member of the Board is del
uged with that kind of literature. and / can
assure the House that all these charges are
carefully investigated from time to time by
subcommittee OF the Board"
The Kelley League, he said, was formed in
1892. Over 1900 soldiers had taken the cure,
and there had been only IL lapses. lie denied
that anyone was forced to take the cure.
Mr.. Blue asked if the charge that Gov. Smith
was drunk in February had been investigated.
Perhaps not" replied Mr.. Steele, but,
Judging from the character of the witnesses
and testimony he brings here it would require
great deal of additional and better testimony
to induce me TO believe in the truth of such a
charge as that"
DO you, a member of the Board" in
CURED Mr.. Walker, of Massachusetts,. intend
10 keep as Governor of the Leavenworth Home
man who was drunk all during the war and
is now in the habit of getting drunk"
Mr.. Steele replied that as member of the
Board he would vote to GUST Smith If proof
were adduced that he had been drunk.

No corruption or iniquity was charged against

Mr.. PETER interrupted TO state that no dis

believed the bond transactions had fraud all
