COmrade Samuel r. StrattOu introduced
the new Commander. Gen. Dyreniorth re-
sponded with much emotion. His speech
reviewed the principles and objects of the

that such eminent men as President Nc

would have thought him crazy. But
to-day | am proud of it,"
Commissioner of Pensions III. Clay Evans
also spoke briefly. The most affecting
scene of the evening was the presentation
of a sword to Capt. Street by Mr.. Stratton,
in the name of his comrades of Union Vet
Grams Union. Mr.. Stratton made neat
speech.
DR.. Frank Howe then presented Gen.
Dyrenforth with a paperweight made of

that 1t was genuine.

IT isn't true, as many believe, that
nervousness is in whole or in part
merely mental weakness, and that one
ought to be able to control his nerves.
The fact is that nervousness is Just as
purely a physical ailment as a sprained
arm and has the same need of good
care Said DR.. Weems, the great spe-
cialist:
Nervousness is physical, not men
tai. 1t can always be cured. To effect

short time since its discovery this remarkable
botanical product has come into universal use
in the Hospitals Of Europe and America, as an
unfaling specific cure for every form of Asthma.
Its cures are really marvellous. Rev.. l.. Combs of

AZ Second St, Washington, D. c. tcstiics that for

Rola Plant cured her at once. Mr. Alfred e. Lewis,
editor of the Farmers Magazine. OF Washington,
d. c., was also cured when he could not lie down
for fear OF choking, being always worst in Hay
fever season. Many other sufferers give similar
testimony, proving 1t truly wonderful remedy.
AS the Kola Plant is specific constitutional cure

Their Representative Meets
Gov. HOadley in st. Louis
Where He Had Gone to Ask a
POstpOnement.

st. Louis, Feb. 12.-No application
was made today to Judge Sanborn of
the United States circuit court by the
government for a postponement of the
Kansas Pacific sale
An agreement has been reached be-
tween the government representatives
and the reorganization committee of the
Union Pacific, whereby the amount due
the former will be paid. There will be
no pOstponement of the Kansas Pacific
cailrOad sale set for February 16-17-1s
Ex-Gov. George HoadIey of New York,
special counsel for the government in
the Union Pacific cases, arrived in St.
Louis Friday for the purpose of asking
the United States district court to post
pOne the sale and allow the government
the privilege of redeeming the claims OF
the first mortgage bOndhOlders on the
eastern and middle divisions.
He was also to ask for the appoint
ment of a receiver. By this means it
was expected that the government
would be able to obtain a better price
than the reorganization committee had
offered.
Mr.. HoadIey was met here by attor-
neys representing the reorganization
committee and stockholders They all
held a conference. The representative
of the reorganization committee offered
to increase the committees bid to an
amount equal to the principal Of the
governments indebtedness. The offer
was accepted
The gentlemen appeared before Judge
Sanborn in chambers today and an
nounced that they had reached an
agreement. The sale will therefore go
on.
Washington, Feb. 12.-Attorney Cen

Judge Hoadley, the government legal
representative in the matter of the sale
of the Kansas Pacific road stating that
