Willie the reasons for Doctor McCoys agreeing 70
the extension OF the So Rate until November have
been made very clear, and while Doctor Mccoy
himself has been quoted us saying auihoritatively
that although he will live up to the letter of his
agreement, he will under circumsi ances consent
to the rate being extended or renewed after Noyem-
Der i. there is one very important point that is to
be constantly horne in mind, and that is this:
mat Doctor Mctoy is in no sense accommodating
his practice to the rate that he is giving The
for the period agreed, hut that he is maintaining
the practice and treatment at the same standard
that it under the higher rate
50. Throughout this period II must lee recognized
by all the people who are taking advantage OF the
rate, and by all their friends and by the public
that Doctor Mccoy is not giving u So treatment
under the So rate; that it is in sense cheap
treatment, but that he is giving 10 all the New
Treatment, the splendid treatment. for the prescn-
taton of which the offices his national practice
were established in Washington
1t is the TREATMENT that Cures that
all who are taking advantage of this
rate are getting; the wonderful treat
ment:-
That has lifted the darkness and
blight of the word "incurable'' from
those hundreds Of thousans Of cases
o. Cntarrh in the Throat, bronchial
Tubes and Lungs:-
the Oriiice of the nose to the deepest
part of the lungs and inuermost re-
cesses of the middle ear. and instead
of Irritating and indamin.y and feed
ing the fires of disease, soofhes,
qufcts, heals and curcs.
Doctor Mccoy is giving under this rate as well
the benefit of the Discovery i'm Deafness which has
lifted the darkness and blight Of the word 'irour
able from these hundreds of thousands of cases of
impaired hearing.
There is no injustice In the time of the oppor-
tunty being short, because all patients who place
themselves under treatment before Nol emlpnr I
are TO Ice treated UNTIL CURED at the rate of
So month. 1t is simply that the time limit of
application is definitely set.
All new patients applying for treat
ment and all old patients renewing
treatment before November list will
be treated UNTIL CURED at the uni
form rate Of Sd n month, medicines
included.

HE OFFERS TO RESIGN
STATIsTICIAN THOMPSON OFFERS A
STATEMENT TO GOVERNOR.
Apparent Discrepancy Deposited with
Auditor, Subject to Vouchers ThOmp-
son May Hereafter Find.

A sudden and unexpected end was put
TO the Investigation of the Bureau of Sta
tistics yesterday, when Statistician Thomp-
son submitted to the auditor and attorney
general a statement. at the same time filing
a copy of it with the Governor. This state
ment was of considerable length, showing
the mounts drawn from the treasury and
the expenditures made. All parties con-
cerned declined to give out a copy of this
statement, but as nearly as can be learned
it shows something over 800 more drawn
than was expended for office expenses and
something over $500 more drawn for work
of agents than was expended. This, it is
explained, was for the purpose of using the
funds for a special line of inquiry agreed
upon at the last convention of statisticians.
These sums are returned TO the treasury,
since il is held that the appropriation of one
year must be expended in that year or COW
cred into the treasury. This still leaves
a difference in the neighborhood of $500 for
which the statistician has no receipts This
amount he takes from his own funds and
deposits with the auditor. claiming
the right to have it returned to him when
he can recall what the expenditures were
for and show vouchers for them.
The Governor is informed that If. after
the report of the auditor and attorney gen.

snail deem the resignation of Mr.. Thompson
desirable. IL will be at his disposal.
After the statement was filed by G.. W..
Smith. attorney for Mr.. Thompson i'm the
investigation. a consultation was held by
the Governor. the attorney general and Mr..
Smith. which lasted half an hour. At about
i:30 the auditor and attorney general met
at the office of the latter and were closeted
an hour. presumably agreeing upon their
report. At $50 they repaired to the Gov
errors office and were in consultation with
him for another hour. No final conclusion
was reached in the matter and it will he
taken up again to-day. The Governor au-
thorized the following statement in regard
TO the matter:
9TH Governor says that Simeon J..
Thompson has. through his attorney. filed
with him a statement, and that he has it
under consideration. He declines to make
known the contents of the statement, but
says that on tomorrow he will give the
subject careful consideration, and when he
shall lave reached a conclusion will give
to the public both the statement and his
decision in the case. but declines to be fur
ther interviewed pending his investigation
and decision
