General.
Washington, April 2.--The following
| important army appointments were
announced at the White House Satur-
day: 3Ssls
# no be major general United States
army. Brig. Gen. Lloyd Wheaton, vice
Miles, promoted to lieutenant general.
To be brigadier generals In the regu-
lar army, Col. Jacob ii. Smith. Seven
teenth United States volunteers, vice
Daggett. retired; Brig. Gen. Funston,
United States volunteers, vice Wheat
on. promoted.
The announcement Of the appoint Il
meI.ts was made after a conference be-
tween the president. Secretary Root
and Adjt. Gen. Corbin. and at the same
time the long expected list Of appoint
Inents Of majors and captains in the
spaymaster's, quartermaster's and COM
| rrnissary departments and Of the chap
Iains was made known. The list in
lcluded two majors and twenty-five
captains In the paymaster's depart
Ment; twenty captains in the com
nissary department.; thirty-seven cap
tains In the quartermaster's depart
nlent, and seventeen chaplains.
All of these appointees are In the
regular army under the recent act Of
congress charging and reorganizing
the army, and without exception the
staff appointees are from volunteer Of
5flcers. The chief interest, however,
5centered In the three high appoint
ments Of a major general and two
lbrigadier generals, and more particu-
larly In the selection Of Cen Funston
after his gallant exploit in capturing
Aguinaldo. Sas
One interesting feature connected j
with the appointment Of Gen. Funston
to the regular army with the rank Of
br:gadier general is that he is likely to
become the lieutenant general corn-
lnanding the army. The recent appoint
ment of officers to be brigadier gem
erals showed that Gen. Leonard Wood .
would succeed to the position of senior
major general of the army in about ten
years and thus become eligible for ap-
pointment as lieutenant general COM
harding the army.
Should he be appointed the head OF
the army he would continue in that po-
sition over ten years, during which
time Cen. ]. Franklin Bell and Gen.
Jacob Smith, the officers next preced-
ing Gen.. Funston, would retire. Their
retirement would make him the senior
major general commanding the army
upon Gen. Woods retirement. His se-
lection then to be the lieutenant gem
eral Of the army would be probable.

Boucher,s Artegian Won Contains Gold.

An artesian well opposite Boucher's
on-the Spa. owned by Mr.. w. M. Bou-
cher. has been discharging ores at in
tervals. A gentleman subjected the
pellets 10 various tests. and is convinced
that the specimens contain gold. The
pieces are composed OF quartz crystals
and a yellowish metal. Muriatic acid
had no effect on the pellets. An expla-
nation is that this composition OF ores
has been washed down IN the subter-
ranean stream from which the water OF
the we'll comes and, being heavier than
the stones, sink 10 the bottom, rolling
along with the current and pick up the
gold which is on the outside of the pieces.
MIR. ] Edward Hiblne made the tests.
With nitric acid fumes aross from the
ores which smelt strongly like bromine.
Diluted muriatic acid had no effect.
Strongest muriatic acid had no effect on
the gold particles, but ate out the other
metals and made the pellets more porous
and brought out the gold PARTICLES so
that they could be more easily seen. The
well is 400 feet deep.

ADMIRAL sOHLEY IN WASHINGTON
Preparing To Make VigorOus Defense.


Admiral w. 5. Schley met with his
counsel in Washington today. which
meeting is contemplated with profound
interest by officials of the Navy Depart
ment Admiral Schley. accompanied by
Mrs. Schley, arrived in Washington last
night and is at the Arlington Hotel that
city. He will remain in Washington un-
I'll after the court OF inquiry. The de-
partmeni has begun TO apprehend that
Admiral Schley will conduct his case
with far greater vigor and determination
than was anticipated by his detractors.
The character OF his counsel and the
manner In which the preparation OF the
case has begun affords ample evidence
that Admiral Schley will be as vigorous
and as practical in defending his reputa-
ton as he has shown himself to be in the
defense OF his country. For some reason,
manifeslly not well founded. there was an
impression in the Navy Department at
the time Of the authorization OF the in
quiry that Admiral Sehley would intrust
his case TO the court with merely formal
counsel. possibly chosen from among the
Junior offlcers of the navy, to look after
details and see that the official records
we're properly brought before the court
and explained.

Wholesale Poisoning Of Dogs.

Five dogs owned by John w. Smith,
who lives at the foot OF Charles street,
were poisoned last night by some malic-
ious person. For of the dogs were
Tennessee fox terriers, and one a fine
setter. The dogs were all poisoned by
meat covered with sirychnine. which was
thrown into Mr.. Smiths yard by some
unknown person. II was a dastardly
act. A pet dog of Miss Crusnach, also a
resident of Charles street, was poisoned
in the same manner, and died last night.

A Sustaining Diet.

These are the enervatlng days. when,
as somebody has said, men drop by the
sunstroke, as if the Day OF Fire had
dawned. They are fraught with danger
TO people whose systems are poorly sus-
tanned; and this leads us to say, in the
interest of the less robust OF Our readers,
that the full effect OF Hoods Sarsaparilla
IS such as to suggest the propriety Of cali
ing this medicine something besides a
blood purifier and tonic.-say, a sustain
ing diet. 1t makes it much easier to bear
the heat, assures refreshing sleep, and
will without any doubt avert much sick
ness at this time OF year.

Humidity Very High.

Today's atmosphere has been very op-
pressive, even more so.than that OF the
last three days. 1t has been laborious
effort to breathe. and the perspiration is
exuding from every pore. II has been
one of those sticky, horrid days when the
handkerchief becomes a mop, and every
body wears a washed'out appearance.
When it matters not whether life goes
on or not, and even the grass-hopper is
a burden. The humidity has been so
dense that it has seemed, even with a
clear sky and bright sun, the water must
be ready to drop from SO thoroughly a
saturated atmosphere. The general fore
cast is for rain tonight and cooler. but

Heartburn.

When the quantity OF food taken is too
large or the quality too rich, heartburn is
likely to follow, and especially so if the
digestion has been weakened by consti-
patton. Eat slowly and not too freely Of
easily digested food. Masticate the food
thoroughly. Let six hours elapse between
meals and when you feel fullness and
weight in the region of the stomach after
eating, indicating that you have eaten too
much, take one of Chamberlain Stom-
ach and Liver Tablets and the heartburn
may be avoided. For sale by Feldmeyer

blacking establishments are popular in

a bad idea to have such place here for

There Ismore Catarrh in this section o
the country than all other diseases pu
together and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For great
many years doctors pronounced il local
disease, and prescribed local remedies,
and by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be con-
stitutional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Car
tarrh Cure, manufactured by f. J. Chen
ney & Co.. Toledo, Ohio. is the only
constitutional cure on the market. 1t is
taken internally in doses from 10 drops
to teaspoonful. 1t acts directly on the

tenn. They offer one hundred dollars

A Wall From South River.

use the South River bridge in order to

to reach the bridge at certain times they
find the draw open and are obliged to
wait on the bridge from one hour to an
hour and a-half until the steamer Emma
Giles goes to Taylorsville and returns.
The draw is opened for the steamboat to
pass through, and instead OF being closed
ior the convenience OF traffic on the
bridge, it is permitted to remain open
until the boat makes her landing and re.
urns, much to the annoyance and in
convenience OF those who are compelled
TO wait IN the hot sun on the bridge until
The steamers return. Ii is said the
matter will be brought before the County
Commissioners.
