President McKlnly Tells the War Depart
ment Investigators to Work without
Fear or Favor.
Washington, Sept. 26.-The commits
sion to investigate the conduct of the
war department held it's initial meet
ing Saturday in the office of Presi-
dent Mckinley at the White House.
There were eight members present,
as follows: Maj. Granville NJ. Dodge,
OF Iowa; Col. ]. A. Sexton, of Illinois;
Capt. L. P. Howell, of Georgia; Mai.
Gen. j. NJ. Wilson, chief of engineers
of the United States army; Hon.

lister to China; ex-Gov. Woodbury., Of
Vermont; ex-Gov. Beaver, of Pennsyl-
vania, and Maj. Gen. H. Med. McCook,
of the army (retlred).
President Mckinley told the mem
bers that the organization of the
commission had been undertaken at
the request of Secretary Alger and
read a letter from the secretary in
which he made the request. The
president said that complaints had
been directed especially at the sur
geon generals, the quartermaster
generals, and the commissary gen
erals departments of the army and
he suggested that the conduct of these
departments should receive especial
consideration at the hands of the com
mission. To this request he added
that it was his desire that the entire
military organization should, if it ap-
peared necessary, be made the sub
ject of inquiry, saying that he wished
the committee to go to the bottom
of the subject in all cases and proceed
with its work without fear or favor.
DR.. P. S. Conner, of Cincinnati, a
member of the commission, was not
present at this meeting.
The commission effected an organi-
cation by electing Gen. Granville M.
Dodge, president; Robert Weight
man, secretary, and Maj. Stephen C.
Mills, of the regular army, recorder.
The president is thoroughly pleased
with the personnel of the commission.
It was his effort to secure as men,
bers of the commission men of the
highest character, in whose opinions
and judgment the country would
have all confidence. He desired also
to have represented on the board all
phases of public and political feeling,
every section of the country and all
classes of business-professional,
commercial and military. The men
whom he has appointed are possessed
of wide and varied experience, many
of them having served with distin-
guished honor to themselves either in
the Union or Confederate armies.

A SMALL BOYS SCHEME.
He Had an Idea About EGGS Which
Promised n Splendid Result to
His Mind.

A small boy who is not familiar with rural
ways was taken by his fond mamma for a
brief stay in the country.
On farm in neighboring county he
waxed fat and sunburnt, and picked up a
wondrous store of astonishing experiences.
One day the farmer smilingly said to his
mother:
Gust ask your boy what he hid two eggs
IN the stable for?"
So the very first opportunity the mother
said to the six-year-old:
my dear, what did you do with those eggs
you took from the hen house?"
"Oh, mamma" replied the boy, II didn't
want you to know about it."
"Why, it's all right" said mamma, "I only
want to know what my boy did with them"
81 hid them in the stable" said the little
fellow.
"And what for?"
"'Cause it's my scheme"
"'Your, scheme? And what is your
scheme?"
"Why. you see, mamma" said the little
philosopher, "when eggs is borned in a
chicken house they is always little chickens,
an fink if they was borned in a stable dey
might be little horses"
1t is needless to add that up to the time
of his leaving the farm the miracle was still

Dyspepsia Is one of the most prevalent of
diseases. Thousands Of people suffer from
II In more or less aggravated form. Few
diseases are more painful to the individual
or more far reaching in their effects on
human life and happiness. What the dys-
peptic needs is not local treatment, not
mere temporary stimulus. The real need
is the toning up Of the entire system. For
tify the system and it will do its own fight
ing, and promptly eject any intruding
disease. The success OF DR.. Ayers Sarsa-
parilla In curing indigestion and dyspep-
sia is due to just this quality which 1t
possesses, of renewing the vital forces,
repairing the waste and loss of the body.
The ordinary treatment brings the food
down to the level ofthe weak stomach.
DR.. Ayers Sarsaparilla puts strength into
the stomach, and brings II up to the level OF
the strong food fit for men. 1t does this
by strengthening the entire system. The
stomach cannot stay weak when all the
other organs are gaining strength. What
DR., Ayers Sarsaparilla will do for dyspep:
sia is best illustrated in cases like that OF

at the end of four he could move his fingers;

in three months he could shave himself with
the injured hand.
AS he told his story in the Herald office,
he looked the perfect picture of health. He
carries box of the pills in his pocket, and

WASHINGTON.

The navy department has ordered
400 sailors to be sent to Admiral
Dewey's squadron at Manila. 1t is the
purpose of the department to gather

their hands, which have been response
BILE for their great confidence in their
ability to defeat Roosevelt for the
gubernatorial nomination, and which
makes the nomination of Roosevelt an
impossibility. Roosevelt, they say, is
"ineligible" to run as candidate for
governor in this state at this time.
When Roosevelt was sworn in as as
sistant secretary of the navy he swore
to his residence as Washington, d. G..
The federal constitution, however,
provides that persons holding office in
the federal government retain their
residence in the state from which they
are appointed, but when Roosevelt re-
signed from the navy department he
retired to private life. Thereafter he
enlisted in the army, and in accepting
his commission again swore to his
residence as Washington.
