TO LOCATE NEW STATUES.
Meetings of Commissions Having the
Monument Plans In Charge.


At meetings of three commissions to be
held in the War Department Monday the
details concerning the location of several
important statues authorized to be erect
ed in Washington will be decided upon.
A meeting will be held by the Grant Me
mortal Commission. consisting of Senator
Wetmore, General Granville NJ. Dodge
and the Secretary of War. The commits
sion will make a final decision upon the
location of the Grant Memorial 1t has
been suggested that it might be placed
upon the lot just behind the War, State,
and Navy building, but many objections
have been lodged against the plan. One
objection in particular is that the place is
frequented by few people. 1t is expected
that some other location will be chosen.
The Sheridan statue will probably be
located on the triangle on which the Ma
tional Theatre faces The Sheridan Statue
Commission is composed of Senator Wet
more General Barnett of Cleveland and
the Secretary Of War The McClelland
Statue Commission is composed of Sen
ator Wetmore, General Ruggles and the
Secretary of War.
The Sheridan Commission will also take
up the question of design for the statue
The appropriation for the pedestal was
authorized some years ago, but no design
has been offered by the sculptor who was
designated to do the work
A meeting of the McClelland Monument
Committee of the Society of the Army of
the Republic was held In New York
Wednesday and was attended by General
Ruggles and many others interested in
the Sheridan monument. The details of
the monument were thoroughly discussed
and the site at Massachusetts and New

TITS IMPORTANT
To Know What You Are Taking
when Using Cntarrh Medicines.

Catarrh is the short route to consump-
ton, and the Importance of early ana
judicious treatment Of catarrh, whether
located in the head, throat, or bronchial
tubes, cannot be too strongly emphasized.
The list of catarrh cures is as long as
the moral law and the forms IN which
they are administered numerous and CON
fusing, from sprays. inhalers, washes,
ointments and salves u powders, liquids,
and tablets
The tablet form is undoubtedly the most
convenient and most effective, but with
nearly ali advertised catarrh remedies II
is almost entirely a matter of guess work
as TO what You are taking into your sys-
TEN, as the proprietors while making all
sorts of claims as 10 what their medicines
will do always keep II a close secret as to
what they are. i.J
The success and popularity of the new
catarrh cure, Stuart.s Catarrh Tablets,
is largely because it not only cures ca
tarrh but because catarrh sufferers who
use these tablets know what they are
taking into their systems. stuart ca
tarrh Tablets being composed or Eucaiyp-
tOl, HNdrastin. Guaicol and similar Valu-
able and antiseptic ingredients and are
pleasant TO the taste and beng ulssolVeu
IN the mouth they take immediate erect
upon the mucous lining OF the throat
nasal passages and whole respiratory
tract.
The cures that Stuarts CataTrh Tablets
have accomplished in old chronic cases OF
catarrh are little short Of remarkable
and the advantage of knowing what you
are putting into your stomach is OF para
mount Importance when il IS remembered
that the cocaine or morphine hablt mas
been frequently contracted as the result
of using secret catarrh remedies
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets meet with cor
dial approval from physicians. because
their antiseptc character renders them
perfectly safe for the general puDilc 10
use and their composition makes them a
common sense cure for all forms OF ca
tarrhaI troubles
All druggists sell them at 90 cents for
full sized packages.

STRIKERS TO STAY OUT.
Ipswich MIL Workers Vote Not to
Return to work.

IPSWICH, Mass, April 5.-There seems
little prospect of settlement of the Ips-
wich mill strike. Out of the 750 striking
operatives, POI attended a meeting yes
terday and voted not to return to work.
This ends all efforts at compromise at
present AS d resul; of the vote, many
of the operatives are seeking positions
elsewhere.
Whether the management of the mills
will make an effort TO employ others TO
take the places OF the strikers is not
known. 1t is thought this viii be done
very soon and trouble is expected if it
is done The sympathy of the citizens is
so largely with the strikers that it is
believed quarters cannot be obtained for
any large number OF new hands in town.
Some say that owners of tenements
would not dare let them TO newcomers
and boarding house keepers would not
dare take them.
