Commission as Notary Public

TomorrOw-Sternb Anxious.

TOmorrow-sternberg Anxious.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 8. All the
members of the war investigating COM
mission were present at today's session
except ex-Gov. Beaver, and the an
nouncement was made that he would
be In attendance Wednesday, when
Gen. Wheeler will be present as the
nrst witness before the commission.
Today's session was devoted largely
to the consideration Of the method Of
examination Of files, and in this con-
necton the question of administering
oaths was discussed at considerable
length. The members generally took
the position that under strict con-
struction the commission had no au-
thority to compel witness to be sworn
by member of the commission. but
there was a general opinion that the
witnesses would not raise considerable
objections to that and that they would
probably submit to be sworn without
opposition. 1t was decided, however,
to inform witnesses frankly OF the
status of the board and to af
ford them an opportunity to de-
cline in case they so desired.
1t was suggested that the whole diff
/ Guilty might be avoided by getting the
president to appoint one of the officers
OF the board to the office OF q notary
public, and it Is probable this appoint
ment will be made with the end in view
Of having an officer capable Of admin
istering oaths in case of emergency.
To Gov. Beaver was assigned the task
Of leading in the examination of wit
neSSeS, but there is an understanding
that other members of the board should
ask such questions as. they may desire.
The commission also received several
+ additional cOmmunica tons which re-
ceived attention. Among them was a
letter from Surgeon General Sternberg,
inviting the commission to visit his
office. No action was taken upon this
invitation.
At the afternoon session Of the war
investigating commission several COM
plants were read in regard to the
method Of transporting men from San
tiago, the names of the vessels on
which it was alleged that abuses had
occurred being the Concho, the Seneca,
the Breakwater, the Olivette and the
City Of Washington. 1t was decided
to make a thorough investigation Of
this branch of the service, and Chair
man Dodge was directed to secure the
names Of the commanding officer, med
! ical officers and representatives of the
quartermaster's department on those
vessels. 1t was also decided to per-
nit the presence during these hearings
Of three stenographers as representa-
tives of the press, in addition to the
representatives of the press associa-
lions.
The commission called at the war de-
partment late today and saw Secretary
Alger, Assistant Secretary Meiklejohn
and Adjt. Gen. Corbin ror a few min
utes. The call was purely social.

every one of my family who has tried it has

chase and use by all afflicted with catarrhal
troubles or bronchitis. George Otis.

r. T. Booth Co.-Gentlemen: In Septem-
Der I was suffering with Hay Fever and
Asthma. The use Of "Hyomei' checked
the fever in a few days and in about two
weeks time it relieved me entirely of

in frst-class condition during this time,
while for twenty-five years previous to this
I have been unfit for business during the

more strongly recommend 1t for common

quick relief 70 the sufferer after other cough
remedies had failed. Yours truly,

TO BE COLDER TOMORROW.
Such Is the Weather Prediction for
Local Scenes.

There is cold wave coming says the
weather man. In Montana considerable snow
has fallen, and 1t Is expected that st. Paul
will feel the breath of winter by tomorrow.
Although rain was predicted for this part of
the country yesterday it didn't come, al
though for q time 1t looked very threaten
ing However, Bismarck aud Winnipeg both
were favored with heavy rain storms yester-
day.
The reason that st. Paul did not get
the cold wave yesterday Is that the area OF
low barometrical pressure SHE'D off towards
the Northwest and Is now up near Port Ar
thur.
According to the weather man the Twin
Cities were in the middle of the storm yes
