Foul Smelling
Catarrh.

Catarrl is one OF the most obstinate
diseases. and hence the most difficult
to get rid OF.
There is but one way to cure it.
The disease is in the blood, and ali tho
sprays, washes and inhaling mixtures
in the world can have no permanent
effect whatever upon it. Swift's Spe-
citic cures Catnrrh permanently, for it is
the only remedy which can reach the
disease and force it from the blood.

and later he was elected speaker OF the
house. He was sent to the senate of
his state in 1875. and was returned to
that body In 1872; but in 1880 the leg
islnture chose him to succeed William
Pinkney Whyte In the higher branch of
Congress. To that place he was re-
elected when his term expired In 1887
and In 1893. During hts legislative ex-
perence In Maryland he became pres

In private life Senator German Is
modest and unaffected. and is very
popular with all parties In the senate.

NORWAY BANK.
Reports Filed Regarding the
Suspended Institution.
Bank Examiner Says It is Ready
for Sound Business.
All But About $500 Of Missing SIT 1927
Has Been Reimbursed.

Portland, Me, Nov. 15.-(SpecaD.- -
The report of the bank examiner and OF
the trustees of the Norway Savings Bank
was made to Judge Strout, today at IL
o'clock, on the action taken in the in
vestigation and settlement Of the
affairs of the bank. 1t will be remem-
bered that a shortage was discovered
in the accounts during the month of
August. and the affairs We're suspend
ed by order of the court. This was
done as protection to the depOsitors
and to prevent the run on the bank
that was sure to follow after the ru
mors had gone abroad Of irregularities.
ana the ultimate destruction of the
bank
The report shows that there was a
discrepancy Of $l7.332.21 which there
seems to be no shadow of 4 doubt was
due to the work of Seward S. Stearns.
the former treasurer of the bank. who
died during the summer. The period
during which the funds We're appropri-
ated cover, they believe, period of
over five years. or the time since Judge
;. 5. StearnS was connected with the
bank. first as the acting treasurer prior
TO May -. 1894. and since he was
elected to that office. OF this dis
Crepancy over $4,000 has been collected
of the sureties and the balance will
doubtless be recovered, so that the loss
will not be over $1,000
AS the matter stands. the bank. ac-
cording to Mr.. Undertakes report. is
in solid condition with a loss Of not
over one per cent. or One-half the
usual amount Of a single dividend. On
account of the losses that may have
been incurred through the non-collec-
ton of accrued interest. Mr.. Timber
lake advises that the dividend now due
be omitted. though at the next date Of
dividend that one may be increased to
cover a portion Of the loss on the
present one.
The Journal had a short converse
ton with Mr.. Undertake on the sub
jcct, this forenoon, but first Of all we
will present the reports in full Of the
trustees and of the bank examiner
which were as follows:
