There has been considerable speculation
throughout the city. especially in army
circles, as 10 what viii be the result Of
Lieutenant General Miles testimony given
before the Senate Committee on Military
Affairs yesterday. II is freely hinted that
his severe criticizm OF his superiors may

the prerogative vested in his office, and
that he may decide TO retire General
Miles, f"om the army. The Lieutenant
General reached the age of sixty-two years

Dr.Miles' Nervine Saved
My Life.

There Is little joy in living when the dis.
ordered nerves prevent sleep and rest; when
one wakes from a restless night more tired
than the night before; when one is forced to
drag through the round of daily duties with
out energy, ambition or interest. This con.
dltionis due to arrangement Of the nerves
which may be speedily regulated and
strengthened by DR.. Miles Restorative
Nervine. This remarkable medicine has a
wonderful record Of cures. Supplying as it
does the exact element needed for the res
toration Of the nerve force and vitality. its
good effects are felt after the first few doses.
u have used your remedies myself and in
my family for the past seven years and it is
not too much to say that they saved my life.
The tired feeling used to have after giving
. few music lessons has left me entirely and
instead OF lying in bed three or four hours
trying to get sleep and then getting up and
walking the floor until morning, | can now
90 to bed and sleep eight, ten and twelve
hours without any trouble. When | think Of
my former nervous, wretched, irritable state
! want to tell everyone what Dr. Miles
Nervine has done for me. can do as much
work now in a day as used to take a week

Another Question Settled.

Attorney General A. A. GODDARD
yesterday settled the much vexed
question Of whether or not justices
Of the peace in cities Of the first and
second class are township officers,
and therefore come under the pro.
VISIONS Of the biennial election law.
He held that they are township Off
GERS and they must be elected at the
regular fall election on even years
the same as other county, state and
township officers, and not at city cleo.
tions as has been the practice in a
number Of cities in the state.
Among other things in his decision
Attorney General GODDARD held that
the justices Of the peace, now in office,
who were elected year ago, will not
90 OF out office at that time, but will
hold over until the next succeeding
election. This will be welcome news
to them as it simply gives them an
extra year in Office. 1t has been the
practice to elect one justice CT the
peace each year in a township, the
justices serving term Of two years.

in the fact that it would necessitate
