WIESE'S SONG
Has Become Very PopuIar-"In 0hio's
Sweetest Va,e."


John S. Wiese's new song has met
with much favor wherever it has been
introduced. 1t is entitled I'm Ohi0s
Sweetest Vale" The words of the
song follow:
BY the wayside near a tavern in o
village far away,
A good old oak in grandeur there
does stand.
Beneath its boughs spot / chose
where each eve I met my Rose
And with aching heart I asked hel
for her hand.
A day soon dawned with sorrow, 81
must leave my home of DID,"
To another city was called away;
And when I bid goodbye tear rolled
from her eye,
AS I left. these words I heard hel
softly say:
CHORUS.
Remember, remember Rose is wait
ing;
Each night I'll stand beneath the ole
oak tree,
Where you once told loves tale, in
Ohio's sweetest vale,
You will find girl that's true il
Rose Marie"
II am sitting and a thinking of mem
ories of the past;
For sorrow now does mingle there
with joy.
Among those valleys, dales and hills
where you'll hear the whippor
wills,
And in innocence I roamed when but
a boy.
Now she lies beneath the tree, and /,
stands in memory,
On the banks inscribed the date she
bade farewell
To her lover and her kin, when she left
this world of sin,
How I'd love once more to hear heI
sweet voice tell:
(Chorus) Ili.

GOOD REASON FOR IT.
The Success ani Popularity OF the New
Catarrh cure.

The remarkable success and popular
ity Of the new catarrh cure, Stuarts
Catarrh Tablets, Is largely because IL
not only cures catarrh, but because ca
tarrh sufferers who use these tablets
know what they are taking into their
systems: no secret Is made of what
they contain. They are composed Of
hydrastin, blood root guaiacol and red
gum, are pleasant to the taste and be-
ing dissolved in the mouth they take
immediate effect upon the mucous lin
ing of the throat, nasal passages and
the whole respiratory tract.
The cures that Stuart's Catarrh Tab
lets have accomplished in old chronic
cases are little short Of remarkable,
and the advantage Of knowing just
what you are taking into your system,
is Of paramount Importance when 1t Is
remembered that the cocaine or NOR
phine habit has been frequently con-
tracted as the result Of using secret
catarrh remedies, as so many of them
are we'll known to contain these in
| furious drugs.
| Stuarts Catarrh Tablets meet with
| the approval and cordial support of
physicians because their anteseptic
character renders them perfectly safe
for the general public to use and their
composition makes them a common
sense cure for all forms Of catarrhal
| trouble.
With nearly all advertised catarrh
cures 1t is a matter Of guess work az
to what you are taking into the stom
ach, as the proprietors, while making
all sorts of claims as to what theii
medicines will do, are very careful tc
keep it close secret as to what they
really contain.
This is one reason why Stuart's Ca
tarrh Tablets have been so widely rec
ommended, because they are not only
pleasant and convenient to take, bu
the patient also knows he is not put
ting into his stomach anything Of al
injurious character.
These tablets are sold by druggisti
everywhere in the United States ant
Canada at 30 cents for complete treat
ment and probably there is no bette
remedy ever devised for the permanen
cure of catarrh, whether located in tn
head. throat, bronchial tubes or in tn
stomach.

WHO GETS 1T 2
New Federal Judge
Will Come From North
Eastern Ohio.
President Keeps Candi-
dates Guessing.
Honor Is Said to Have Been
rendered
To Prominent Attorney Of Cleveland
Has Not Accepted.

Washington, Dec. 2o.-(Spl)--Presi-
dent Mckinley has rendered the new
Federal Judgeship for the Northern
Ohio district to a man who lives in the
northeastern part Of the State Who
the man is 1t is impossible to learn.
1t may be said upon most excellent
authority. however, that it is not Har.
vey D. Goulder, the eminent admir-
atty lawyer Of Cleveland.
Speculation as to the identity of the
person to whom the place has been
offered is quite intense. Members Of
the Ohio delegation are indulglng in
it, but not one of them has succeeded
in picking the man. The President
thus far has guarded well his secret.
1t is expected that some definite in
formation on the subject will be OBJ
tainable tomorrow.
Attorney Mcneil, of Marion, who is
candidate for the Judgeship, is au-
thority for the statement that is is not
improbable that the man to whom the
position has been rendered will de-
cline 1t ON the. ground that his accept
ance would involve financial sacrifice
which he would not care to make.
Mr.. Mcneil says he obtained that in
formation from the President yester-
day, when he called upon him In the
interest of his own candidacy.
"The President also said," continued
the Marion attorney, that If this first
man declines it he will offer it to an
other whom he has in mind. If the
latter cannot accept, then, Mr. McKin-
ley asserted, the race will be an open
one"
The presence in Washington today
of Judge George #. Arrel, of Youngs-
town, gave rise to the report that he
was an aspirant for the honor. Judge
Arrel is an old friend of the President,
but one of his law partners, Harry Rob.

that he would not relinquish his prac-
tice. The name of Andrew Squire, Of

With the Administrations View Of
the Constitution.

Washington, Dec. 2o.--tspl.)-The
United States Supreme Court again
was crowded to tits fullest capacity
yesterday to hear the concluding argu-
ments in the cases involving the
status of Porto Rico and the Phil.
ippines.
A feature of the hearing was that
Justices Brewer and Harlan asked a
number Of questions. Justice Brewer
asked if the Attorney General held
that as Congress extended the con-
stitution and laws to the organized
territories Congress also could take
them away from the territories. Mr..
Griggs answered that this was most
serious question, but he thought it
safe to say that when the laws were
once extended to territories an inviola-
BILE contract was created, and could
not be broken.
Justice Harlan asked the Attorney
General to state later on to what ex-
/ tent Congress could impose a tariff
to be collected against goods coming
from New Mexico, Arizona and Alas
ka. Justice Brewer also reminded Mr..
Griggs that Oklahoma was not in
cluded in the treaty taking in the
! Louisiana and Mexican territory, and
was an apparent exception to the rule
stated by the Attorney General.
Mr.. Griggs said that Congress at its
last session, In effect, declared that
the existing tariff laws were applica-
BILE against the goods of Porto Rico.
This was In the act of last March, re-
mitting to Porto Rico certain duties
collected under existing law" This,
Mr.. Griggs declared, was an assertion
by both branches of the present Con-
gress that the tariff act, which was
the "existing law" operated against
Porto Rico. Justice White asked the
Attorney General if he claimed that
Congress could SO exempt territories
from the laws as to give them privi-
leges not enjoyed by the States. Mr..
Griggs responded that he did SO claim;
that In fact the territories had been
for years exempted from internal
revenue and direct taxes.
The Attorney General referred to the
celebrated case of Loughborough VS..
Blake, whereupon Justice Harlan,
reading from that decision, asked Mr..
Griggs what Chief Justice Marshall
meant in saying: "The power to lay
and collect duties, imposts, and exer-
and collect duties, imposts, and ex-
cises may be exercised, and must be
States.
Mr.. Griggs said throughout the
United States" referred to the States
of the Union, but Justice Harlan
| pointed out that it referred also to the
District of Columbia and the terri
tory west of the Missouri.
Mr.. Griggs closed his Ave hour
speech with brilliant and eloquent
peroration.

er-in-chief of the English army, will
receive an earldom, 81, $50, O0O in
cash, knighthood of the garter and a
lot of other things for conquering the
Beers. The commander-in- chief of
the American army during the war
with Spain has had all he could do since
to hold his job, Notwithstanding that
he acquitted himself as nobly as Rob
erts under the circumstances in a war
much more righteous than that which
England has all but won. But the
oveIfed administration favorite whose
chief fame during the Santiago cam
paign that he commanded because he
was 4 political favorite, was in riding
4 mule and being famed in ham,
mock 20 miles from the fighting line,
has had all the glories of real hero
showered upon him. Such is politics
as against real worth in war.
