POLITICS RECALL
 FORGOTTEN CRIMES
PAT GARRETT, COLLECTOR OF GUS. TOMS AT FL PASo, WILL BE AR RESTED FOR KILLING A BOY YEARS AGO.

Fort Worth, Tex, December 1e.-A serious charge was presented against Pat Garrett, the newly nominated collec- tor of customs at El Paso, this morn ing. A man named Glenn consulted States Attorney Lattimore relative to the length of time the statute of limitations runs against murder charge. Being told there was no limit to prosecution, Glenn wanted to prefer charges of murder against Garrett. saying he had killed boy in West Texas on the border of Cass and Knox counties years ago. Those were wild times then and nobody thought much of the affair, but now that Garrett was a national character, Glenn thought 1t his duty to make the facts known. Lattimore advised Glenn to go to West Texas and prefer his charge. The boy once lived near Ar lington, this county.

KNOX CONFIRMED
 ATTORNEY GENERAL
OPPOSITION OF SENATORS HoAR
 AND PETTus WITHOUT AVAIL. MATTER HINGED ON CHARGES
 FILED BY ANTITRUST LEAGUE.

Washington. December 16-Just before adjournment tonight the Senate con firmed the nomination of Hon. Philander c. Knox to be attorney general of the United States.
 Senator Jones of Arkansas had moved to recommit the nomination to the com mittee on judiciary. in the meantime pub fishing the testimony bearing upon the case. Speeches in favor of this proposi- tion were made by Senators Jones and Turner, and in opposition by Senators Hoar and Pettus. It was contended by the two Senators last named that the only evidence presented against confirmation had been filed by mem bers of the anti trust league and was very vague and in- definite
 The Senators favoring the motion said that if this were true there could be no objection on the part of the friends of the attorney general to placing all the facts within reach of the public as the more time the committee should give the subject the more thoroughly would the public be convinced of the fairness of it's position when ultimately taken. They dwelt at some length upon the charge made that the attorney general previous to entering upon the duties of that office had been attorney for the United Staes Steel Corporation and the armor plate manufacturers.
 In reply to these accusations 1t was said that 1t was legitimate for an attorney In private life to represent any interest in his official capacity. and 1t was argued that his position as counsellor for those interests could not be used legitimately against him. The vote on the motion to recommit was lost, 4s to T. There was no roll call on the motion to confirm, which immediately followed.

A PLAIN TALK TO
SENSIBLE PEOPLE

There are thousands OF people afflicted
with chronic diseases who have not
known a well day for years. although not
confined TO their beds. They are able TO
be up, but totally incapacitated for work
or pleasure.
I want TO convey a word of hope to
such sufferers. You are not incursble, but
you will never be well unless you give
your condition some serious. intelligent
thought and realize that health is tho
most valuable possession TO be had, and
that the best treatment is not TOO good
for you.
have been a specialist for 20 years,
which time has been devoted exclusively
90 the treatment of chronic diseases I
have treated more cases than any other
physician and my patients reside in every
state OF the Union.
have treated thousands OF cases and
cured them promptly. which had been un-
der various kinds OF treatment for years.
Every case which comes to me find re-
quires some special attention, which no
ready-made medicine can reach, and this
explains why cure cannot be expected
from patent medicines. There is some
thing In medical science which can reach
your condition, and cure you, but special
trea tment must be prepared for your own
individual case.
NY long experience and ackno wledged
skill warrants me in saying that can
cure eS per cent. OF all cases undertaken
study carefully every case. and treat Il
on it's individual merits. use no ready
made medicines. and warn you against
the folly Of experimenting with so-called
''free" samples many OF which are moth
ing more than poisonous and Injurious
stirnulants.
II you are AFFLICTED with any chronic
disease, such as Bladder and Kidney Dis
eAses. Blood Poison. rheumatism. Ca
tarrh, Varicoceie, Structure, Lost Man

only the best treatment. which is always
the cheapest in the end.
