In addition to this, Osteopathy actually cures 95 per cent of every 100 cases of Female Trouble, Painful Mensis. etc. You think these are big figures ne doubt. bnt.my friend, they are true. These wonderful results are what has brought Osteopathy to the front as the greete science of the age. You are invited to call on us at Hotel Trulock. But we want these points distinctly understood:
 First. We are not here to fight medicine nor medical doctors. but we are here to work with them for the alleyiation of suffering. We are here to do all the good we can.
 Second. There are cases that med- icine will reach and cure that Osteopatby will not. There are also cases that Osteopathy will reach and cure that medicine will not.
 Third. We want you to give your family physician and medicine fair trial before you come to us, then if J Ot- 5tC tiid VIII iot N<At4k7 your case, come to us, and Osteo- pathy will prove specific, for such is the nature of the science. sgSn A thorough, painstaking and scientific EXAMINATION TREE of cHARGEl

Regarded as an Indication of the
Administrations Policy
REPORT HOURLY EXPECTED

Washington, March Is Senator
Proctor's speech, delivered in the
Senate late yesterday afternoon. is
regarded as an outline of the I'd
ministration's policy
The report of the bparl of ia
quiry is hourly expected at the

bic moment He will send it to
Congress. together with all other
information relating to Cuba, pos
sibly on Monday.
Senator Proctor painted plain
but thrilling picture of the misery
of Cuba. Outside of Havana MS

ton and desolation -the coaeen-
tration of the people in the towns,
the desolation of the country.
Everything is under guard. The
people thus hertlod within the
trocha or fortitications are the
''reconcentradoes." Their homes
in the country have been burned
by Weyler's orders. Their condi-
ton is horrible in every respect.
The Senator spoke of the Cubans
as suffering from the worst mis-
government of which he ever bad
knowledge. His language was
most temperate TIC is not in
favor Of annexation, he said and
he had no plan to suggest at pres
ent "as remedial steps may safely
be left to an American President

statement made powerful i'm

There were two particularly
noticeable points about the mass

The second was the unanimity
that prevailed, although several
adherents of the administration

man and Prof. George Keller sec
retary of the meeting. The hall
was very fairly filed when the
meeting was called to oader. Be
fore the close men were standing
up in the rear
Chairman Nix made brief
opening speech in which he ex-
plained the purpose of the call for
an open meeting of citizens TO
dominate live progressive ticket
Tor the coming election. In his
opinion the meeting should clear
ly define the cardinal principles
upon watch it woald expect its
candidates to act. For the past
year or two he feared that Flor
ence's real progress had been pret-
~ nearly stopped. The town. he
said, needs men of progressive
ideas at its head, who will give as
a clean city. ard yet ecp within

pile up excess warrants on the tax
payers. We want men who are
competent, and who are not only
competent but honest and who
viii also give ~ the necessary
time for the proper performance OF
their duties. Loud applause pune
tuated Mr.. Nix's remarks.
Dr.. Percival, August Peil, and
Albert Harris were elected com
.nittee on resolutions. While they
retired TO prepare platform, w.

Ex-Judge Bradley responded to
calls for him to speak, after two or
llree other well-known men had
declined or the ground that they
were non-residants within the
municipal limits. He said that he
was only sort of half citizen or
Florence but that he hll helped
organize the town, had represented
it as its attorney and had been
connected with il for considerable
time. He congratulated the pso-
pie upon the presence Of such a
