METCALFE'S RECORD
BEFORE THE SENATE
HIS APPOINTMENT is HELD UP
AWAITING INVESTIGATION OF
CHARGE THAT HE MURDERED A
FILIPINO PRISONER.

Washington. January 13.-Before the
Senate committee on pensions today the
charge against Col Wilder S. Metcalfe
for killing a prisoner while in service in
the Philippine Islands was revived.
Colonel Metcalfe is the nominee for the
office of pension agent at Topeka. Kan,
and the charge is made In the effort to
defeat mis- confirmation. Colonel Metcalfe
was a major In the Twentieth Kansas
Volunteers when the battle of Caloocan
was fought and the charge is that dur
ing the battle he shot with his revolver
Filipino prisoner who was unarmed
and at the time on his knees pleading for
mercy Affidavits from the soldiers in
the Twentieth Kansas have been filed
with the committee, and Capt. Edward
Boltwood, late captain of Company Is
of this regiment appeared before the
committee in person. He asked for full
investigation. The committee heard Cap
tain Boltwood and Chairman Gallagher
referred the nomination to Senators
Simeon Scott and McCumber.
Lawrence Kan, January 1S-Gen. w.
S. Metealfe when asked concerning the
charges mace against MN III tue oehate
committee to prevent the confirmation
as pension agent at Topeka, said:
THE charge that 1 shot Fflipinos while
they were defenseless has been made be-
FORE and after an investigation by the
officers of the War Department l was
exonerated from all blame The charges
were started by some of my enemies in
the Twentieth Kansas Regiment purely
for personal reasons"

both sides there is little doubt but what
the Supreme Court will comply In view
of the question being public matter
and the case will be submitted to the
court for a decision.
Prominent attorneys are Of the opinion
that Judge Colemans ruling will be sus-
tanned. 1t is pointed out that 1t Is quite
clear the new constitution intends that
the county tax coll;Rtors shall be the
proper persons to co~;ect all poll taxes,
and the provisions in the charter of Biz
mingham allowing the city to collect poll
taxes being conflicting with this clause
of the new constitution is therefore void.
From a financial standpoint decision
to this effect by the Supreme Court will
make comparatively little difference. AS
Birmingham is seperate school district
these taxes will go to it eventually.
The decision will be awaited with inter-
est, not only by the people OF Birming-
ham, but by the citizens of Wylsm, Ems
ley, Pratt City and other suburban towns,
whose charters on this point are the same
as Birmingham s. they having been mod
eled after the latter's.

some more important and deeper seated
structures
Stuarts Catarrh Tablets are taken in
ternally, they search out and eliminate
catarrhal poison wherever the blood goes
and that means to every nook and cor
ner of the body. This is how they have
won their great reputation for posi-
tive and permanent cures. This is why so
many testify that they are cured so the
disease does not come back after time.
A cure that is radical and lasting is the
only real cure. 1t is easy to dry up OF
drive in and suppress catarrh at some
local point, with drying or astringent APP
plications, but this is only miserable
suhterfuge, a makeshift that will soon be
apparent when treatment is discontinued.
Not so with the radical constitutional
cure by the use of Stuart's Catarrh Tab
let's which, though not so rapid of ac-
ton as are some suppressing measures,
are lasting and satisfactory to the end.
The catarrhal constitution once righted
the first little cold does not bring about
a return of the disease. The certainty
and permanency jof the cures accomplish
ed by Stuart's Catarrh Tablets account
for the fact that the multitude of peo-
pie who have used them are SO lavish
in their praise.
A leading druggist in Albany speak,
various catarrh cures for years, but have
never sold any which gave such gen
eral satisfaction as Stuart's Catarrh Tab
let's They contain in a pleasant concern
trated form all the best and latest ca
tarrh remedies, and catarrh sufferers
who have used douehes. sprays and
salves. have been astonished at the quick
relief and permanent results obtained
after a weeks use of Stuarts Catarrh'
Tablets"
If you love health, a sweet breath and
a clear head. If you wish to rid yourself
of the sytemic tendencies as well as the
disagreeabe local manifestations of ca
tarrh, Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are YOUR
hope, and. If persistently used for a rea-
sonable time, will prove your redemption
from this prevalent loathsome and event.
ually dangerous disease.
Stuarts Catarrh Tablets can be bought
at any drug store for 80 cents a box

OFFICER SHOOTS
DEFENSELESS MEN
A KNOXVILLE, TENN, POLICEMAN
THOUGHT HE WAS BEING SHOT
AT AND KILLS TWO BROTHERS,
WHO ARE INNOCENT.

Knoxville, January 13.-While Policeman
Joe Cruz was on his way home at an
early hour this morning five shots were
fired while he was nearing the corner of
Cumberland avenue and Patton street. At
the corner three men were standing, Lon
and Alec Nelson and o. S. Ingle. Cruz
placed Lon Nelson under arrest, and the
others interferred. Cruz drew his pistol
and shot both the Nelson's and fired at
Ingle. Alec Nelson died early this after
noon as a result of his wound and Lon
Nelson lied tonight at 10 o'clock
The Nelson's are brothers and were
within twenty feet of their home when
shot. Cruz was arrested on the charge of
murder, and is now at police headquar-
tiers.
An attempt to assassinate Cruz was
made little over one year ago. and
when the five shots were fired he thought
that he was being shot at. Both the Nell
sons and Ingle were unarmed

distinguished specialist in the treat
ment of catarrhal diseases, says:
Powder, lotions, salves, sprays and
inhalers cannot really cure catarrh, be-,
cause this disease is a, blood disease and
local applications. if they accomplish
anything at ALL simply give transient
relief.
The catarrhal poison is in the blood and
the muscous membrane of the nose.
throat and bronchial tubes tries to re-
lieve the system by secreting large qaun-
titles of mucus, the discharge som etimes
closing up the nostrils. dropping into the
throat. causing deafness by closing the
eustachan tubes, and after a time caus-
ing catarrh of the stomach or serious
throat and lung troubles.
A remedy to really cure catarrh must
be an internal remedy which will cleanse
the blood from catarrhal poison and re-
move it from the system. When this is
done the local expression of catarrh
in the mucaus membrane will disappear
This is abundantly proven by the sue
cess attending the use of Stuart's Ca
tarrh Tablets. Taken internally and act
ing upon the constitution only through
the blood they overcome the systemic
predispoSition to the disease and anti
dote or eliminate all catarrhal poison.
They cure catarrh of one part as read
lily as of other parts. no matter where
1t turks in the system they will cure it
with equal ease and certainty. The ca
tarrh burdened sufferer has simply to
take them and they will do the rest.
While it might seem as catarrh affects
the skin occasionally eczema is catarrh
in the skim and the mucous membrane
nearly always; that salves, sprays, wash
eS and other local apnlication hainp
applied direct to the exact spot where
the catarrh manifests itself, would be
the most rational treatment, yet this has
been conclusively proven not to be so.
The external or covering skin and the
mucous membrane, which is a continu-
ance of the same and but an internal
or lining skin, are made and repaired
from the blood, and catarrh is a blood
disease manifesting itself in them, most
frequently In the lining skin or mucous
membrane because 1t is of finer and more
