Kinley closed as follows every right
minded citizen of this Republic and all
the good-hearted and clear headed men
and women of all the nations of the
earth indulge in similar aspirations and
pray for Peace-universal Peace.
"Gentlemen Let us ever remember
that our interest is in concord, not con-
flict; and that our real eminence rests
in the victories of peace, not those Of
war. We hope that all who are repre-
sented here may be moved to higher
and nobler effort for their own and the
worlds good, and that out of this city
may come not only greater commerce
and trade for us ALL but more essential
than these, relations of mutual respect,
confidence and friendship which will
deepen and endure. Our earnest prayer
is that God will graciously vouchsafe
prosperity, happiness and peace to all
our neighbors, and like blessings to all
the peoples and powers of earth"

He is an honest man. His executive
experience at the age of forty three is
greater than most public men can refer
to at seventy three. He was, when we
first knew and admired him, the Presi-
dent of the United States Civil Service
Commission, in 1898, under the second
administration of Grover Cleveland He
was exceedingly prompt, vigorous, con-
scientious and efficient in the discharge
Of all the duties of that trying position.
Subsequently he was called to New
York City, where as Commissioner of
Police he did a remarkably disinfecting
sanitary service for the moral and
physical welfare Of that swarming me-
tropolis.
Thence he was taken under the first
Mckinley administration into the navy
as Assistant Secretary, where he did
good work for his country until the on
coming of the war with Spain, when he
resigned and entered the active military
service of his country. He was heard
from at San Juan hill, where he did

QUESTION ANSWERED,

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale OF any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers and
srandmothers never thought of using
anything else for Indigestion and Bill
iousness. Doctors we're scarce, and
they seldom heard Of appendicitis, ner-
vous prostration or heart failure, etc.
They used August Flower to clean out
the system and stop. fermentation of
undigested food, regulate the action Of
the liver, stimulate the nervous and
organic action of the system, and that
is all they took when feeling dull and
bad with headaches and other aches.
You only need few doses Of Green's

WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE.
Breezy Gossip on Various Topics
From the Nations Capital.

Not even in the first days Of his ad.
ministration did President Mckinley
have as many congressional callers as
he has had during this week. The
cause is the desire of senator's and rep
resentatives, regardless Of party, to Sc
cure the smaller commissions In the
re0rganized army for constituents.
While all this means a lot Of hard
work for the president. he is much
gratifled that his recent statement
that these commissions should 60 as
far as possible to men who have seen
service with the volunteers has been
50 generally accepted, aid that so few
requests are being made TO him to give
these commissions u young men who
have seeh NO military service.

Newton were returning from Troost

reached the region near Nineteenth

negroes and both badly treated Az
the story goes. the girl was carried
into vacant lot and there rendered
unconscious while a brutal assault was
committed upon her. When she re-
gained consciousness she went to the
assistance of her escort. who was "

1t was upon this version of the affair
that the police arrested two negroes

county jail, where the negroes were
supposed TO be. In the confusion
many were hurt. but the night passed

that no leader appeared saved the lives
of the prisoners. The following day
the investigation developed other facts
which cast serious doubt on the story
