We suppose we are not re-
vealing any trade secret when
we say that many medicines
are made up on the principle
of the so-called :" shotgun pre-
scriptions, which were form
eriy somewhat in vogue.
The idea OF the shotgun pre-
scription was TO put in a large
number OF different drugs, each
useful for different purposes,
in the hope that some OF them
nigh. hit the case.
Vinol, the medicine we sell
over our name and guarantee,
is not a scattering " shotgun
prescription" but goes straight
to the mark.
II is the best thing we know
for a rundown condition, for a
listless feeling, nerve troubles,
for lung troubles fact, IL is
a safe, pleasant, reliable tonic
and reconstructor.
Ii has cured so many people
right here in town we offer
money back il it fails to benefit.

CONVENTION CALLED,
BUT NO CANDIDATES.
Republicans of st. Clair County
May Abandon Idea of Max
ing Nominations.

The st. Clair County Republican Central
Committee Is in a qUandary.
AT a meeting in Belleville yesterday after
noon the date for the county convention
was fixed at September 70, but as there
is a lack of candidates for the various Of
fees, several of the leaders Of the party
said yesterday that they did not see any use
in holding a convention.
The principal JOB to be doled out Is that
of Sheriff. 1t has been presumed all along
that George X. Thomas. the present Coun-
ty Clerk, and Wash Thompson OF East st.
Louis. were the candidates, but there was
an apathy among their friends in the Couu-
ty Central Committee meeting yesterday
which cast a depressing influence over the
members of the committee. 1t is believed
that the members of the committee al
ready lean to the opinion of the Democrats
of the county. that the county ticket this
fall will be a clean sweep for the Demo-
Gratis As a result the men who have been
urging their names as candidates have
fallen into the background and are letting
work.
This seems to be especially true Of George
X Thomas and Wash Thompson. the men
who have been spoken OF for Sheriff.
Neither seems to be any too anxious to
make the race for Sheriff against q live
Democrat. and they are trying to hold Off.
hoping that they will get a tip on what the
ever. they are becoming slowly convinced
that no matter what the Democrats do
the county Will go Democratic by a big
majority.

SECRETARY MOODY'S
IDEAS OF REFORM
Believes in Reducing Number of
Clerks and Decreasing Pay
of Old Men.
The Republic Bureau,
18th st. and PernsyIyania Ave.

ANNA 49, oAa L NHA-g FhAAAo <lNS-
Washington. Aug. 2-Secretary Moody's
ideas of retrenchment and reform In the ad.
ministration of the Navy Department proper
are being put into execution with q rapidly
that has set the whole clerical force OF the
department by the ears.
Mr.. Moody recently sent put g circular
to all the principal officers Of the depart
ment instructing them to reorganiZe their
offices SO that efficient clerks would get the
higher salaries. In this circular he called
attention to an act OF Congress concern
ing the classification of clerks under the
executive government which said in effect
that nothing in the act would be construed 20
permit the maintenance of a civil pension
list.
This language has been interpreted to mean
that aged clerks shall give way to those
having youth and activity, and in conse-
quence there have been a number of re-
auctions in the salaries of veteran employees.
The clerical force OF the Bureau of Nav
igation Is being completely reorganlzed and,
when the reorganization has been effected.
the other bureaus will have to go through
the same experience in turn.
Vacancies existing in the clerical force Of
the Navigation Bureau VIII not be filed.
and Mr.. Moody hopes to make a still fur
ther reduction OF 10 per cent from what IS
said at the Navy Department, it is evidently
the Secretary's idea that he can run the
naval establishment very much cheaper
than any of his predecessors.
Rear Admiral Henry C. Taylor. Chief OF
the Bureau OF Navigation. has taken an
other step along the line of sending naval
officers to sea. the policy inaugurated by
Secretary Moody.
Yesterday he ordered Lieutenant Com
mander A. P. Osborn, retired, to relieve
Commander William H. Turner as Inspect
or Of the Fourteenth Lighthouse District,
with headquarters at Cincinnati.
This will be followed by others, placing
more retired officers on the active list and
particularly in connection with the light
house service. Secretary Moody has eI-
pressed himself in opposition to the idea
of allowing an officer to retire on pay and
the Government to lose his services alto
gether.
1t Is now said that Lieutenant e J. Ber-
wind, another retired officer. will be the
next to go on the active list. He was re-
tired in 1875 on account Of disability incl
dent to the service, but is now recovered.
Incidentally he is a wealthy man. a resi-
dent of Newport and the owner of a big
interest in the Atchison. Topeka and Santa
Fe Railway.

that Mr.. Yoakum Will hold the Frisco in
dependent of all combinations. at least for
some time.
1t is suggested that the Frisco may reach
Galveston via the Santa Fe. The Frisco
row uses the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Re
tracks in Texas out of Dallas, North. The
report that the Rock Island will use the
Santa Fe TO Galveston is not more general
ly believed than that the Frisco will ac-
quire this right; and the Frisco PROPOSE
