RheumatIsm and the Eyes.

Chicago, ILL.,, Nov. 1Sth.-Mr. H. A.
Wade, the celebrated criminal lawyer
of this city whose opinion on Legal
matters is unquestioned, has recently
made public his unqualified opinion on
a matter of medicine. Mr.. Wade says
that Rheumatism and Kidney Trouble
affect the eyesight, and further that
there is no case of the kind that can
not be cured by Dodd's Kidney Pills.
He has no fear of being set right by
any of his medical friends, for I
statements have a living and ind1s-
putable proof in the person OF the
great lawyer himself, who as a result
of Rheumatism and Kidney Trouble
from which he suffered for years, be-
came totally blind.
Physicians, the best in the country,
pronounced his case incurable n
hopeless, but Dodd's Kidney Pills
cured him, restored his sight,
away the Kidney Trouble and with 1t
the Rheumatism and made an all
around well man of him.

FAVORS THE AMERICAN FLOUR
Brazil Increases Duty on That Imported

in Bags.
NEW YORK. Nov. 15.-The Rio
Janeiro correspondent of the Herald
cables: The Chamber of Deputies has
passed a bill Increasing the duty on
-four imported in bags instead of bar
rels. There was a lively discussion
over the measure. 1t raj c%ontended
that -four imported in bags is apt to
contain dangerous germs, but this as
sertion was combated vigorously.
One member of the budget commit
tee frankly declared that the object
Of the bill was to protect United States
producers against the Argentine. At
ter the vote had been taken several
deputies said: "The Yankees have
routed the Argentines."
Public opinion and the newspapers
generally disapprove of the new law,
as it is known that flour from the Uni
ted States arrives in barrels, while
the Argentine product comes in bags.
Newspapers of Buenos Ayres unani-
mously condemn the measure and re-
m~onstrances will be filed by the Ar
gentine millers.

All of these were republicans except
Representative Watson. At the late

except that caused by the death OF
Watson, whose death occurred too late
TO have the office included in the OIL
ciaI call for election.

KNOCK AT THE UNIONS DOOR
Okia homa and the Indian Territory Urge
Their Demand for Statehood.

oklahoma and the Indian Territory Urge
Their Demand for Statehood.
MUSKOGEE, /. T., Nov. 15.-Single
statehood for Oklahoma and Indian
Territory will be brought to a definite
issue at the convention called to meet
in the United States court room here
this afternoon. The date for the con-
vention YVES set at Oklahoma City on
October %, and three hundred dele
gates from each territory have come
to fight out the issue. The supreme
effort of the two territories to secure
a single statehood form of govern
ment at the next session of congress
will be made.
The issue will, it is believed, be
squarely divided between the political
and commercial interests of the terri
tories. Politicians, as a rule, 1T is
conceded, are in favor of separate
| statehood. This view, as far as indi-
cations point before the meeting gath
ers, is opposed by the business men
of the territories, who want all ave-
nues of trade and industry opened
without restriction, and who profess
to believe that this end could not be
secured in making two states OF the
territories. This, it is held, is espe-
| cially true in Indian Territory, whose
undeveloped natural resources. they
assert, are as rich as can be found In
any state of the union. Among the
first delegates to arrive the current OF
feeling seemed strongly for single
statehood for Oklahoma without de-
lay, Indian Territory to be later.
Aside from speechmaking and the
adoption of resolutions bearing on
the subject, the convention will likely
provide funds to carry on a system
attic campaign OF education for state
hood that shall finally reach congress.

Rural Mail Clerks in Civil Service.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-About two
hundred employees in the executive
branch of the rural free delivery SER
vice of the postofice department will
be brought into the civil service by
an order of President Roosevelt, which,
it is understood, will be issued within

clerks, special agents and inspectors.
The 5000 rural free delivery carriers
throughout the country will not be
brought into the civil service under
the same order, but they will be taken
in at some later day. Their civil SER
vice status is to be somewhat different
from that of those first included,
though the regulations governing them
have not yet been passed upon.

LUTHER W. OSBORN is DEAD
Distinguished Nebrasksn Passes Away


at His Post In Samoa.
WASHINGTON, Nov. ia cables
gram received at the state depart.
ment today from Auckland, New Zea
land, announces the death at Apia
Samoa, On October II, of Luther W.
Osborn, United States consul general
at ADia.
Mr.. Osborn was born in New York
and appointed to his present posi-
from Nebraska July 26, 1897. Thus nc
was the principal representative of the
authority of the United States in the
Samoan group in the troublesome days
before the partition and it appeared
that he alone Of all the foreign rep
resentatives at Apia aroused no OPP
position. He obtained the confidence
of the natives and the other repre-
s~entatives of the foreign powers.
The death of Luther w. Osborn oil
Nebraska, consul general at Apia, Sa-
moa, announced today by the state
department, came as a great shock to
the officials. His communications to
the department have been marked by
thorcughness, clearness and value.
When trouble between the contending
| factions of natives arose Judge Osborn,
as acting chief justice Of the Samoan
islands, decided every question with
such eminent fairness that both sides
to a controversy were bound to &C
| cept his decisions. When the excite
ment in the islands was at white heat
and actual warfare between contend
ing native tribes had broken out Con-
sui General Osborn remained on the
| island, refusing to take refuge on a
man-of-war, and by his GOODNESS and
courage prevented wholesale slaughter.
The consular service Of the United
| States contains not a chapter of cool
ness, Intelligent Judgment and success
| cessful diplomacy on the part of any
consul surprising this chapter of Judge
Osborn's record at Apia.
