Climatic Cures.

The influences nf climatic conditions
in the cure Of consumption is very much
overdrawn. The poor patient, aud the
rich patient, too, can do much better at
home by proper attention to food di-
gestion, and a regular use Of German
Syrup. Free cxpectoration in the
morning is made certain by German
Syrup, So is good nights rest and the
absence Of that weakening cough and
debilitating night sweat. Restless
nights and the exhaustion due To
coughing, the greatest danger and
dread Of the consumptive, can be pre-
vented or stopped by taking German
Syrup literally and regularly. Should
you be able to go to a warmer cline,
you will find that Of the thousands OF
consumptives there, the few who are
benefited and regain strength are those
who use German Syrup. Trial bottles,

STOPPED THE INVESTIGATION

For This Knox scores summers
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, Nov. 1S.-Correspondence
that passed between United States Attor
ney Summers at Omaha, and Attorney
General Knox in June last in the matter
of the charges against Postmaster Fisher
OF Hastings, and United States Senator
Dietrich, of Nebraska, and the investiga-
ton of the same by the grand jury, was
made public today. The letter of Mr.
Summers to the Attorney General trans
mits the testimony involving Dietrich and
Fisher and says:
THE grand jury insisted upon making
thorough and searching investigation.
This investigation was discontinued at my
request because of the fact that the con-
duct of a United States Senator was in
volved III the question they desired to in
vestgate. At the same time j stated to
the grand jury that the investigation will
be made by another grand jury, if it be
disclosed subsequently that the ends of
justice demand it."
To this the Attorney General replied.
isaying Summers should not have request
ed discontinuance of the investigation,
because of the fact that the conduct of a
United States Senator was involved III
the question the grand jury desired to in
vestlgate. From the copy OF the proceed
/ ings before the grand jury, it appears
that at the time the testimony closed, a
most extraordinary and discriminating
story had been told by the Witness Hahn,
in which Senator Dietrich was criminally
involved. Fairness to the person thus in
eliminated, as well as other considera
tions of duty. should have caused you to
refrain from interfering with the desire of
the jury to probe the matter to the bot
tom.
Upon the whole matter in action, the
end accomplished and the means employ
ed were astonishing, unwarranted and
highly improver.''

A DUEL OVER CARDS BANK IN NEW HANDS
Assignment at Camden
Eventual Payment of
All Ssured.
(By the Associated Press.)

Charleston, S. c., Nov. 1S.-After an in
vestigation into the affairs of the Farmers
and Merchants Bank, of Camden S. c..
signed statement today was issued by the
directors. IT declared that
Being called into special session on ac-
count of the sudden decease of president
and cashier, and having. with the aid OF
two experts, examined all of the available
records, books, papers and accounts found
in the bank vault the result of which sat
isfied the board that the assets and securi-
ties of the bank are sufficient eventually
to meet all its legal Obligations. and to
paw all depositors and other creditors, but
in view of the serious Interruptions
caused to its business by the calamity
which has occurred and the lack at this
time Of an available person willing to as
sumo the duties of president. and in the
further fact which exists that some time
will be necessary to convert the assets in
10 cash, the board determines for the best
interests of all the creditors, under these
circumstances, to make an assignment OF
all property, securities and credit of its
bank to E. s. NauX and A. d. Kennedy.
A deed OF assignment was duly executed
and the assignees have assumed charge OF
the banks affairs.
