The Campbell Investigation
(By the Associated Press. }

Richmond, Va, Jan. 1.-THE most
sensational feature of the Campbell in
vcstigation today was a line of questions
designed by the prosecution to discover
if there was anything improper in the
appointment of Judge Wood to preside
1T the trial of Judge Campbell. 1t was
attempted to show that the latter had
agreed to support Judge Wood for the
Circuit bench, short while before the
trial began. Judge Wood denied that
that was the case, saying he had sought
the support of Judge Campbell, but had
received no dfnitc answer. He protest
ed that no feeling of gratitude influenced
him one iot in his attitude at the trial
in Amherst.
On other points, such as the jury, the
order in court and so on, Judge Wood
WaS examined most rigidly.
This afternoon the inquiry was adj
iourned until Thursday next, when the
prosecution is expected to introduce a
number of witnesses in addition to those
who have already testified.

WE WANT EVERY ONE TO

READ WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY.
COME AND SEE US.

We don't want any one in this city
to drag themselves through life in pain
and misery for the want of enough
strength to feel we'll and happy.
If you feel listless, without ambition
and run down, it is a bad sign.
You are running grave chances. You
are in a condition to be attacked by
most any disease.
This feeling of debility is symptom
that your system is generally democrat
lied. You should take tonic.
You should take Vinol, which we
know and will guarantee will restore
your strength.
Following is one case where it did
this. Mrs. T. H. Boyle, of Sc Chestnut
ST., West Newton, Mass, says:
Last spring L used one bottle of
Vinol. At that time I was all run
down and sick. 1 find that it did me
lots of good, and by its use my strength
came back to me-"
Vinol is a delicious preparation, con-
tanning the active curative principles
that are found in cod-liver Oil, dis
solved in delicate table wine.
Vinol acts directly on the stomach,
aiding digestion and at the same time
creating healthy appetite. 1t gives
strength and vigor to every organ of
the body.
We endorse Vinol, and guaran-
tee it's action, and will gladly
refund to any one who is not
satisfied the money which they
paid for it.

Indigestion Causes
Catarrh Of the
Stomach.

FOR many years it has been supposed that
Catarrh of the Stomach caused indigestion
and dyspepsia, but the truth is exactly the
opposite. Indigestion causes catarrh. Re-
peated attacks of indigestion inflames the
mucous membranes lining the stomach and
exposes the nerves of the stomach, thus caus-
ing the glands to secrete mucin instead of
the Juices OF natural digestion. This is
called Catarrh of the Stomach.

SUEZ CANAL TRAFFIC.
The Year 1902 Shows Increase Due to
Return Freights.

The annual report Of the Suez Canal
Company for 1902, just received here, con-
tains valuable information with reference
to the commerce of European countries
with eastern Asia, India and west and
southwest America.
The year 1900 was not a prosperous one.
and came up to the average business only
on account of the Chinese war expeditions
and business dependent on them. The year
1901 showed a large increase in traffic on
account of Russian petroleum shipments to
eastern Asia and South America, while the
high price for European coal curtailed the
English coal export. The additional in
crease of traffic in 1902 is mainly due to
return fre1ghts, new and unexpected cir
cumstance.
The increase of European exports via
the Suez canal is inconsiderable Russian
petroleum exports across the Pacific have
decreased on account Of large stocks in
eastern Asatic and south African ports
while England. on account OF lower prices
for coal. increased its exports. Return
freights from the United States have in
creased. whereas those from Australia
have remained unchanged Taken as a
whole, the result is most gratifying for the
company.

WILL BE DISMISSED,
Sentence Approved IN Case Of Assist
ant Paymaster Delano.


The President has approved the sentence
OF dismissal imposed in the case Of Assist
ant Paymaster Philip w. Delano of the
navy, who was recently convicted by court
martial. convened at the Washington navy
yard of embezzlement of $l,SS7 and other
financial Irregularities. in connection with
his duties as pay officer of the gunboats
Isla de Luzon and Don Juan de Austria on
the Asiatic station.
Evidence was introduced at his trial to
show that the climate of the Philippines
where he was serving when the offenses
charged were committed. had injured his
physical and mental health, and he was
not responsible for his conduct on that ac-
count. The testimony of the surgeon of the
ship on which he served. the gunboat Isla
de Luzon, tended to confirm this conten-
ton.
In his review of the case Secretary
Moody said that while there may have
been no actual criminality on the part of
Paymaster Delano. the circumstances of
the case were such that his retention in the
service would be intolerable.
Young Delano is of Commander
Delano of the navy and was married in
May last.
