ously anxious to appear spry and
youthful. The other was tall. spare,

which he busted the car seat before
settling down to his morning paper,
says the New York Times.
AS the crowd thinnod out at Park

Only One Ohio Man Has Held the

Among the earliest duties which will
devolve upon the recently elected
members Of the Fifty-eighth Congress
will be the choice Of a speaker. and
present indications make 1t probable
that the speaker will be chosen from
the west.
The speaker Of the Fifty-seyenth
Congress, David B. Henderson. was the
frst to be chosen from the territory
west OF the Mississippi.
The first speaker was F. A. Mullen
burg Of Pennsylvania. The post of
speaker was held In the Twenty-fourth
and Twenty-fifth Congresses by James
X. Polk. afterward president.
Speakers of the House Of Represen-
tatives who have been candidates for
president are numerous and include
Henry Clay. John Bell and James c.
Blaine. Schuyler Colfax after having
been speaker, was vice president of
the United States.
The Oldest surviving speaker is
uoiuSha a. GToW, DoTH IN 1870 anu
speaker from 1861 to 1868.
The last Democratic speaker,
Charles F. Crisp. was a-native of Eng
land. Two surviving speakers. John
G. Carlisle and Thomas B. Reed,
though elected Representatives in
Kentucky and Maine respectively, are
row residents Of the city of New
York.
There has neyer-S7Sb- speaker
from the Pacific coast and 1t is some
what curious circumstance that Ohio.
though pre-eminent in nearly all other
political offices, has had in the coun-
try's history but one speaker, John w.
Kiefer, who served only single term.
The state OF New York has had no
speaker since the close of the Nine
teenth Congress in 1927, though New
York has been, during the whole Of
that period. the most populous state
and the one having the largest con-
gressional representation.
The speaker Of the Fifty-eighth con-
gress when chosen will preside over
4 larger number of Members of Con-
gress than any of his predecessors. the
total membership of the next house
being 3SG.

letter:
MY wife had been suffering from a
complication OF diseases for the past IS
years.
Her case had baffled the skill of some
Of the most noted physicians. One of her
worst troubles was chronic constipation OF
several years standing.
She also was passing through that most
critical period in the life OF woman
change of life. In June. 1895. l wrote to
you about her case You advised a course
of Peruna and Manalin. which we at once
commenced. and have to say it completely
cured her. She firmly believes that she
would have been dead only for these
wonderful remedies.
About the same time | wrote you about
my own case OF catarrh which had been of

according to your instructions and continued
its use for about year. and it has COM

Arapahoe county. II is charged that
they are primarily responsible for out
RACES against the purity Of the ballot
and the complaint against these OH
| cials sets forth, among other things:
That they, having control Of the
election machinery. agreed to procure
false registration Of names on the reg
istration sheets and books of the coun-
ty. and caused the same to be padded,
and that they allowed the policemen
and flremen to aid In the work.
1t is alleged that agents Of the Dem
ocratic machine placed fictitious names
to the number of 10000 on the regis
tration lists. That OF 5000 formally
qualified persons on the list 1000 were
impersonated and voted by other Ddr-
ties: that County Clerk Aichele pre-
vented $500 legal voters, - 900 OF
whom were Republicans. -from regis

ter charges OF fraud. error and mistake
in registration in receiving and reject
ing votes In favor Of his Republican
