This is the second nomination Of Crum.
the senate. at the session just closed
having failed to confirm him.
The nomination of DR.. Crum was re-
ported adversely by the senate
cial committee of the 57th congress. His
nomination will he referred to the same
committee, but owing to changes in the
personnel of the committee the preSi-
dent expects a favorable report upon
it. It is understood to be the Dresi-
dents intention not to exercise special
influence to secure favorable action on
the nomination.
III the event of it's rejection by the
senate, it is unlikely that the appoint
ment will be renewed. 1t is simply
the desire of the president to have the
opinion of the enate on the nominal
ton, He thinks the appointee is en-
titled to that.

WIFI be Held to Fill Vacancies eA
Several Important Committees

Washington. March 5.-The dems-
cratic senators will hold a caucus to-
morrow. The principal object is TO elect
a successor to Senator Jones, of Arkan-
sas. as chairman Of the caucus, but
they probably will discuss to some ex-
tent the question of policy with refer
ience to the treaties now pending in the
senate
Iators that Senator German will be ask
ed to resume his old place as chairman
Iof the democratic caucus.
Another question which probably will
he taken I'D Is the appointment Of a
member of the committee on foreign
relations 10 succeed Mr.. Bailey who
was excused from service on that COM
lmittee by the senate on Tuesday last
upon his own motion. When he re-
tired he suggested Senator Clark, OF
Montana. as his successor and as there
was no opposition the suggestion was
adopted and Mr.. Clark was made q
member of the committee. There is
iof the committee, out there is a feeling
lon the part of some of the democratic
senators that the designation Of a MEM
Der of so important a committee should
be left to the caucus and lot to an
Individual senator. 1t therefore seems
probable that the caucus will ask to
be allowed to fill the place and that
Senator Clark will be named BY the
caucus
The vacancies on the steering coD-
also will be filled.

Question Answered..

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale Of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers and
g~randmothers never thought of using
anything else for Indigestion or bill
liousness. Doctors were scarce, and
they seldom heard of Appendicitis,
Nervous Prostitution or Heart failure
etc. They used August Flower to
clean out the system and stop fer
mentation of undigested food, regulate
the action of the liver, stimulate the
nervous and organic action of the
system, and that is all they took when
feeling dull and bad with headaches
and other aches. You only need a
few doses Of Green's August Flower
in liquid form, to make you satisfied
there is nothing serious the matter
with you. You al get this reliable
remedy at all drug stores. Price Csc.
