No department at Washington just
now so absorbs the attention of the
people as the splendidly growing, for

laced Annapolis graduate that the
brunt of the work falls, but to the able
department officials of whom Disburs-

letter from him says:

found it a perfect spring remedy, and
been much benefited by it,
Spring is the decisive time in the life
of every person out of health. 1t is an
assured fact that stubborn disorders
become quickly durable in the spring
This is especially true of such persist
ent troubles as rheumatism, neuralgia
and obstinate kidney diseases
No one, sick or well, can afford TO
try uncertain remedies in spring, or
any other time
The dishonesty of many self-named
spring remedies becomes starthngly
apparent when their results are com

SEVERE BLOW ar GARRISON
Webb McNalrs Fight on the Rate
Schedule Being Felt.

Letters received by Webb McNan,
superintendent of insurance, from the
Milwaukee Mechanics Fire Insurance
company and the Continental Fire In
surance company of New York indi-
cate the existence of a combination
among insurance companies which ac-
cepts and pays for a schedule of rates
prepared and furnished by Harrison
CIarkson OF Topeka.
The destruction of this combination is
Mr.. McNall's object and some of those
companies which are now making use
of the CIarksOn rate book have an
nounced to the department that they
will gladly sever their relations with
the combination if the superintendent
desires and such action should be nee
essary in order to enable the compa-
MES to continue business in Kansas.
In response to the letter of inquiry
recently sent out by Mr.. McNan the
Milwaukee Mechanics officers replied
stating that the company is a sub
scriber for the CIarkson rate book. In
1895 for the book, the company says,
Mr.. CIarkson was paid $3.50. For the
same purpose in 1896, the company
states, Mr. Clarkson was paid S185.05.
The Continental of New York has no
titled Mr. NcNa1 that it has been pay
ing Clarkson 5000 per year for his rate
book, but will discontinue its use and

FIREMEN DISMISSED.
Topeka's Present Saloon Policy Re
sponsible for More Trouble.

Four members of the Topeka fire de-
partment have been discharged or bet
ter, their designations have been re-
quested. This order was made by
Mayor Fellows and placed in Chief Will
martins hands. The latter executed the
order and last evening the four un-
lucky men ceased to be connected with
the Topeka fire department. The resig-
nations were requested, it is said on
account of the men having used intox-
icatlng liquors. with the exception of
one, 3. +. Perkins.
The change makes a vacancy at sta

one named in the order, and he prompt

ferson street, Hatton Etherly and Har-

B. F. Perkins, substitute, were asked
to resign for cause, and refusing to do
so were discharged. Kennedy was the
Waterman at No. 3.
AS yet the vacancies have not been
all filled. Some changes have been
made at the stations as follows: Mike

truck at No. station. Jos. Waidlich,
pfpeman on NO. 2 hose truck, will go
to station No. 4 and his place will be
filled by Glen Perkins, who has been
a substitute. 1t is probable that the
position of Waterman at No. 8 fire sta
vacancies will be supplied today or to-
morrow and the department will not
suffer in the least.
Chief Wilmarth regrets the occur

say or do anything which would in

to the inspection of any taxpayer and it
is not our purpose to cover up anything.
But I do not like to give out to the
public that these men have been dis
charged and thereby hurt them in the
future. The fact IS that they were re-
moved for cause. The order was given
to me and I executed il. I gave them
all a chance to resign and one of them
did so Immediately. You see, the re-
quirements Of our department are so
that not the smallest rule can be VIC

The Best Remedy for Rheumatism.

[From the Fairhaven IN. W Register
Mr.. James Rowland of this village
states that for twenty-five years his
wife has been a sufferer from rheuma-
tism- A few nights ago she was in
such pain that she was nearly crazy.
She sent Mr. Rowland for the doctor,
but he had read of ChamberIain's Pain
Balm and instead of going for the ply
sician he went to the store and secured
q. bottle of it. His wife did not approve
of Mr.. Rowland's purchase at first but
nevertheless applied the Balm thor
oughly and in an hours time was able
to go to sleep. She now applies it
whenever she feels an ache or pain
and finds that it always gives relief.
He says that no medicine which she
had ever used did her as much good.

Judge Locke said
1.-The court in examining the evil

testimony showing that the vessel was
fitted out aud armed within the limits
Of the United States. It does not
show that che was loaded With arms aud
ammunition within Is or 20 miles Of
the shore. The further charge that
the vessel took on additional arms or
ammunition on the island Of Navassa,
which is American soil. was not con-
6rmed by the testimony 1t shows that
the vessel touched there for a short
time. but it does not show that it did
anything that is 10 violation of the

Three other cases are pending
