THE CABINET MEETING.
Brutal Murder of Postmaster at Lake
City Discussed,

Brutal Murder of Postmaster at Lake
City Discussed.
Washington, March AT Tuesdays
meeting the cabinet discussed number
of theories which have been advanced
as to the cause of the explosion. but
nothing approaching definite con-
clusion was reached. Another matter
which engaged the attention of the
cabinet was the brutal murder recently
of the colored postmaster and his infant
child at Lake City, S. c., by mob of
hundred or more white men. 1t was
remarked by member of the cabinet
after the close of the meeting that this
most heinous crime had been passed by
almost unnoticed by the public in the
excitement caused by the wreck of the
Maine, and that thoughtful men
might probably give share of their
attention to this great wrong commit
ted by our own people.
The two outrages on republican post
masters in the south discussed occurred
at Lake City, S. c., and Ada, Ga. Free
was assassinated before he entered on
the discharge of his duties as postmas-
ter. The president, it is said, is very
much disturbed by these acts, though he
views with satisfaction the fact that the
whole southern press has expressed it's
indignation. The first impulse of the
officials in cases like those cited, it is
said, is to abolish the Office where the
outrage occurs, although it is realized
that such step would deprive large
numbers of citizens who have nothing
10 do with the killing OF their postal ia
cities. The president, therefore, finds
II difficult to lay down any rigid rule
that could be applied In all cases. The
Office at Lake City has been abolished,
but so far nothing has been done re-
garding the case at Ada. The latter
presents some unusual features. Free
man had been appointed postmaster,
but not having assumed his duties was
not an officer of the government. UH-
official reports which have reached the
department are not clear as to the pre-
else cause for his assassination. One is
that he was killed because he had been
appointed, and anotheris that his death
was the result of quarrel. The depart
ment, however, will make an inquiry
into the facts and be guided in its flu
ture course by what this inquiry de
velops.

A Little Good Advice which You WIN
DO Wen to Consider at This Time.

AT this time OF year, when we are
changing over from winter to spring, there
is always low order of vitality--a reac-
ton from the strains of the seasons. The
blood does not flow so fun or rapidly-the
strength is less.
For these reasons all kinds OF diseases
nave a much better chance than at any
other season. We all know this from our
own experiences and those of our friends,
ana we are aware what a terrible amount
OF grip, pneumonia and other diseases
there is floating in the air and drawn in
oy us with every breath. 1t is a time for
exercising special care, for keeping the
blood In circulation and the system toned
up generally.
Ihere is but one way by which proper
reaction, at such a time, can be brought
ABOUT ana that is by the use of a pure
sumulant, preferably whiskey This is uni
Versally admitted. but the trouble has been
10 secure a good, pure and reliable whs-
Key. Indeed, there is but one that can be
confidently and certainly recommended
Tor this purpose, and that is Duffy's Pure
Malt. 1t possesses qualities known only to
itself. 1t will bring about a reaction,
cause the blood to circulate. prevent a
cold check pneumonia and ward off grip.
It has relieved more suffering and saved
more lives by reason of these powers
which Il possesses than anything of a
similar nature which has ever been dis
covered. You will be wise if you have 1t
on hand and use it whenever you feel the
least signs of disease or weakening.

story cropped out, however, and according

and struck at Mr.. O'Keefe. The blow was
avoided by lodging below the edge of the
counter, but on rising Mr.. O'Keefe had to

stroke by DR.. Kenan. DIR. Rollins, who

started. When Mr.. OKeefe began throw

Mr.. OKeefe went to a back room of the

they intercepted DR.. Kenan and Mr..

filed against DR.. Kenan by Mr.. OKeefe
for the alleged assault. When asked con-

that he intended to have the matter prop
