QUESTIONS ANSWERED.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers and
grandmOthers never thought of
using anything else for Indigestion
or Biliousness. Doctors were scarce,
and they seldom heard of Appen-
dicitis, Nervous Prostitution or
Heart failure, etc. They used Au-
gust Flower to clean out the syS-
TEN and stop fermentation of I'M
digested food, regulate the action
of the liver, stimulate the nervous
and organic action Of the system,
and that is all they took when feel

Decided Not to Ratifv.

Washington, July after "a
hours consideration and probably
after consulting the President at
Canton by wire, the cabinet officers
here have decided not to ratify
h. agreement of nine articles pro.
viding for the naturalization of
Shanghai and the southern Chinese
ports submitted by Minister WI.
There were some things in the
agreement which the government
felt confident it could not accept.
Such, for instance, was the absolu-
ton proposed to be extended to
the Chinese government in advance
for any outrages that might occur
in the treaty ports.

His nomination will undoubtedly
be enthusiastically ratified by every
Demo crat from Name to California
and from Minnesota to Texas. 1t
was demanded by 500 out of every
1000 of the plain Democrats, the
boys who do the voting, and 1t has
been foregone C conclusion for weeks
that his nomination was certain.
And 1t is just as certain that he
will be elected next November.
The platform Is a strong one, de-
nouncing trusts, the Porto Rico law,
the Dingley tariff law, the election
OF senators by direct vote of the
people Is favored, and numerous
other measures in the interest Of the
people are favored.
But the bright particular plank Is
the one reiterating the Chicago plat
form and specifically declaring in
favor OF the free and unlimited coin
age of silver and gold at the ratio Of
lo TO | without waiting for the
consent of any other nation. This
plank was discussed at some length
In the committee, but 1t was agreed

With a united Democracy behind
him Mr.. Bryan will sweep the coun-

and his president will be swept to
oblivion which they richly deserve.

class men. Several who had been in
Boozs class but who are now third
| class men were called to the witness
chair but none of the first three cadets,
Boyers, Of Ohio, Resell, of Arkansas S,
and Colvin, of Missouri, gave any ma
terial evidence. Cadet Carl Boyd, OF
Georgia, in relating the hazing prac-
ticed on him said that on one occasion
he swallowed from half to three-quar-
ters of a teaspoonful of tropical sauce,
1t was hot for a time but the feeling
soon passed away. 1t did not hurt his
throat, but only his tongue.
The next witness called was the Rev.
Father Charles G. O'Keefe, pastor of
the Highlands Falls parish, which in
cludes the West Point military acad-
envy In reply to questions put to him
by the court he told of the case of John
Breth of Altoona, Pa, who had figured
in previous hazing stories.
Father O'Keefe said that he had
never heard of i'll treatment of Breth
In reply to General Clous the witness
said that he had never heard of such
a thing as q cadet being put into a
straight Jacket for the amusement of
others. The reverend gentleman spoke
highly of the general department of the
cadets and said that in his opinion the
matter of religion was never a factor
in the progress of a cadet
Afterwards it was found that Breth
was found deficient in mathematics
and left the academy in January, 1898.
Cadet John F. Franklin, Tennessee;
Cadet MCCLURE, Fred L. Deem and Ma
jor John M. Banister, surgeon U. S.
A., were next called in order.
Major Banister produced all the rec
ords of the medical department of the
academy. These showed that John e.
Breth was admitted to the hospital
June "a, 1897, and discharged a week
later, July /, 1897. He was treated for
external hemorrhoids. He was admit
ted again on July 6 and discharged the
following day as he had only all attack
of thermal fever, which is a very sim
pie ailment.
On December il, 1897 Breth was ex-
cused from sections on account of acute
indigestion and these are the only in
stances ON record where the Altoona
cadet had been medically treated.
In regard to Cadet Booz Major Ban
lister said that there was only one in
stance on record of his being i'll and ON
that occasion Booz was allowed to re-
main away from one drill as he was
suffering from diarrhoea.
Some other cadets were examined

been put in back for inefficiency in

advice on what to do with the money
that Mr.. Hooker and Mr.. Jackson APP
peared before the board of finance last
night Their attention was called to
the fact that the board of education
had approved the resolution for the
bond issue and transmitted it to the
board Of finance. Mr.. Hooker then call
ed attention to the fact that in the res
olution for the issue which was sent
to the finance board the date of the
issue was left blank and that the
finance board had decided upon the i'm
mediate issue. This appears to be the
true situation.
Mr.. Hooker and Mr. Jackson were in
formed that since the board of educa-
ton had the money under its absolute
control that board must decide what to
do with it. The gentlemen minated
that the board of education would at
tempt to secure in the coming session
of the legislature an amendment to the
city charter to permit the loaning of
the money. BY the time such an amend
ment can be secured, however, the city
will have lost considerable money on
the transaction.
Many citizens are now wondering
where the blame rests-whether with
the board of education or with the four
members of the board of finance-a ma
jority of the board, who voted for the
bond issue.
The request of the fire commissioners
for transfer of $3.50 from the salary
account in the fire department to an
account for new rolling stock in that
department came UP for action by the
finance board last night. The purpose
of the desired transfer was to provide
money for the purchase of a new auto
mobile for the chief. The finance board
voted to deny the request.
A request from the police department
for the transfer of $75.75 from the heat
ing account to the forage account was
granted. A request from the same de-
partment for a transfer of $50 to the
sundry account was tabled until the
finance board can ascertain what the
money is wanted for.
