MORE ATTACKS ON WAR OFFICE.
Acrimonious Debate in British Parlia-
ment Last NIGHT.

A dispatch from London last night says:
The debate this evening in the house or
commons on the motion of the liberal
leader, Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman,
yesterday for the appointment Of select
committee to investigate the whole COM
mercial history of the South African war,
including the contracts for the purchase OF
remounts, meat and forage and the con-
tracts for freights and transportation &C.,
called out several exchanges OF acrimon-
ious remarks. Reginald McKenna, liberal,
commenting on the remOunt department..
declared that widespread corruption in the
most every country on the globe.
Lord Stanley, financial secretary to the
war Office, interrupted Mr.. Mckenna with
an angry denial OF a specific charge re-
garding the purchase OF horses in Spain.
He said the statement was maliciously
false, and demanded proofs Of the asser-
ton made. :
Mr.. McKenna said he took his facts
from the report Of the controller and audi
tor general. The imputation Of malice was
wholly false. but it was only part Of the
bogus defense In which the government
was then engaged. He quoted figures and
claimed that they bore out his accusation.
Mr. Lambton, Iiberal-unionist, drew Sir
Henry CampbeIl-Bannerman's Are by de-
claring that the leader OF the opposition,
by his reckless. language, had taken from
many people the consolation OF feeling that
their relatives who had died In South
Africa had fallen honorably In the service
of their country.
To this Sir Henry replied angrily: II

MARSHAL OF ARIZONA.
Nomination Of Ex-Governor McCord
Confirmed.

The nomination of ex-Gov. Myron H.
McCord to be marshal OF Arizona was
among the combinations by the Senate
yesterday afternoon. This office was orig
1nally rendered to Ben Daniel, but the
nomination was withdrawn. McCord is a
native of Pennsylvania, but he has resided
in several states He was a member of the
Fifty-first Congress from Wisconsin, but
after his defeat for reelection went to Ari-
zona and settled on fruit farm. In 1897
President Mckinley appointed him COVER
nor of Arizona. He held that office until
the breaking out of the Spanish American
war. when he resigned to go to the war as
colonel OF regiment which he was au-
thorized to raise by the War Department
Before his resignation he made unusual ef-
forts to secure the enlistment of the quota
of 200 men called for by the Secretary of
War from Arizona. Col McCord's regt-
ment, while it was raised, never saw SER
vice. He remained with it about nine
months, when 1t was mustered out He then
returned to Arizona and published a news
paper, which he has since been engaged in
publishing. Last June President Mckinley
appointed him United States marshal for
Arizona.

"Kin1 Leopold Of Relafum ap-
oEary Member of the Sanitary
College At Brussels, In consider
alton Of the highly nutritious and
beneficial action Of the Genuine
Johann H0ff3 Extract.
1t is the nutrient qualities of food,
extracted through the digestive process,
that build strength and sustain life, by
charging the blood with red corpuscles.
Blood is life.
The thin, hollow-chested person who
loses the nutrient qualities of food is in
danger of pulmonary ydisease-consump-
ton, most likely.
The nervously inclined. the sort who
worry and fuss over things big or little,
are face to face with prostration.
The care-worn woman with over
taxed organs peculiar to her sex may.
with reason, grow more anxious, for
female weaknesses are vital weaknesses
in very truth not an ounce of nutrient
can be spared.
And these dangers are wholly due to
the loss of life giving elements through
improper food assimilation.
The proper treatment for impaired
digestion aud every disease akin to it,
is wineglassful with each meal of
Johann Hoff's Extract, which has for
fifty years stood atthe head as strength
and health builder.
1t does more than act as a tonic to the
stomach more than to compel perfect
food assimilation, and Johann Hoff's
even goes farther than mere nerve or
dyspepsia medicine; it is in itself
nutrient.

One of the most interesting facts that

that, of all the I.atin-American countries
occupying about cne-half of the western
Iorld. none has acquired any lands out
side of its continental domain except the
little republic of Ecuador. The Galapagos
Islands. which form little world apart
far from the coast OF South America be-

islands are really worth developing. though
Ecuador has done scarcely anything for
them except TO occupy them in 1882. Their
settled population. concentrated in Chatham
Island, is now less than 800.
All the other Latin-American countries

possible trouble abroad. At all events
their territorial ambition has been con-

THE WORST THING TO DO.

The worst thing to do when the
stomach is diseased and causes dis
comfort, such as belching or acidity,
is to take some of the many pallia-
tives put up in the form OF pills, tab
lets, powders, etc. These are not
remedies for the disease. They only
specifically change existing condi-
tions. Allow that they "sweeten'
the stomach. release the accumulat-
ed gas, check fermentation, etc. All
this is only temporary. The dis
eased condition of the stomach is
untouched. Disease never stands
still, and therefore the stomach itself
is getting worse instead of better 1t
is the result of the use of some of
these numerous palliatives that men
and women. when they have ex-
hausted their little helpfulness, find
themselves with an aggravated form
of stomach trouble" If these pal
liatives had not disguised and COW

PROGRAM IN THE SENATE.
The Order Adopted by the Republican
Steering Committee.

The republican steering committee of the
Senate yesterday afternoon decided to give
the first place In the order Of business in
the Senate, after disposing of the pending
business, to the oleomargarine bill, and to
allow that to be followed by the Chinese
exclusion bill. The committee discussed
the question Of giving the Nicaragua canal
bill third place on the calendar, but oe-
cided not to act on that question, inasmuch
as it is considered probable that the dis
cussion of the oleomargarine and the Chi
nese bills will consume some time. The
war revenue repeal bill, like appropriation
bills, is of privileged character, and can
be taken up at any time after being re-
ported.

WHAT YOU MAY EXPECT
You may expect from the use of
Golden Medical Discovery" the
same results which have followed its
use in multitude of other cases.
You may expect that the stomach
will be perfectly and permanently
cured; that by the perfect digestion
and assimilation of food the whole
body will receive new strength; that
lost flesh will be regained. You
may expect that if the disease OF the
stomach has involved the heart, liver.
kidneys or other organs, that the
disease of these organs will be
cured with the cure of the stomach.
Why may these things be expect
ed: Because they are the common
experience of those who have been
cured by the use of Golden Medi-
cal Discovery" These experiences
follow the law of expectations. by
which we naturally expect that an
effect which has usually followed a
given cause will not cease to follow
it.
BY the same law you NAV expect
Golden Medical Discovery to cure
you. 1t has record of cures, cover

THE CAUSE OF IT ALL.
It is not natural ill-temper or pure
