To The Number Prescribed BY The Act
OF Congress.

Washington, May 29.-The cancella-
ton of the promotions of over 5000
postotfice clerks throughout the coun-
try, recently authorized by the depart
ment was the principal feature in the
postoflice department.
This work was undertaken in ac-
cordance with the order made by the
postmaster general to rearrange the
salaries of the clerks already classified
SO that the number in the several
grades shall not exceed the number
specifically prescribed in the act of
congress making appropriations for the
postal service The former classifica-
ton was made by George w. Beavers,
just prior to his sudden resignation as
chief of the division of salaries and
allowances.
The new schedule approved by the
postmaster general after transferring
five per cent from grades where there
are vacancies as authorized by recent
decision of the comptroller of the treas
ury, makes it necessary to cancel 3,O46
promotions in the several grades IN
which there is an excess above the
mum Der to which the grades are limit
ed by law, and in which grades 7,4l2
promotions have been authorized here
tofore to take effect on JulyH.

a Sensational Case.

Aston, Mich, May 25th.-Hough-
ton County has never witnessed
more striking medical case than that
Of Mr.. James Culet of this place.
Mr. Culet had spent small fortune
with the best physicians in the coun-
ty and in addition to this he has tried
every medicine he could hear of.
He had very bad case of Rheuma-
tism and Kidney Trouble, from which
he had suffered for twenty years.
Nothing he could get seemed to do
him any good, and he was gradually
growing worse.
He has no Rheumatism now and
explains 1t thus:
zone day | happened to see an ad-
yertisement of Dodd's Kidney Pills
and decided to try them.
81 made up my mind to give them
a good fair trial, as my case was a
very bad one and was of over twenty
years standing.
81 used altogether AZ boxes and /
can truthfully say that they have
driven out every trace Of the Rheuma-
tism.
81 feel like new man, and can
and do most heartily recommend
Dodds Kidney Pills for Rheumatism
and Kidney Trouble

WRECK NEAR CALDWELL.
An Engine Ran Away While The Hostler
Went For Orders.

Wichita, May 2l.-Hunter G. Myers,
.in-law of Rev. j. S. McClung, of
Wichita, was scalded to death in the
wreck of the Rock Island train at Cald-
well. Mr.. Myers was the postal clerk,
and lived three hours after the acct
dent, dying in the Caldwell depot.
Wilbur Burlxett, son of Caldwell
merchant was also killed, and a young
man named Giles was seriously in
jured by flying glass. A. w. Stillwell,
travelling freight agent of the Santa Fe,
was injured about the hip, but not
seriously.
The wreck occurred about a mile
south of the Caldwell yards. One of
the freight engines standing in the
yards ran away, The hostler went
into the depot for orders, leaving his
engine on the main track, when the
monster began moving southwark and
backing. Before anyone could reach
the big machine it had gained such
speed that none could jump it, 1t is
not known what started the engine.
The local passenger was due at Cald-
well and the wild engine was going
south as fast as steam could carry it
until it was south of the high bridge,
one mile south of the city. AS the en-
CINE crossed the bridge, the crew of
the passenger train saw it, but too
late to avoid an accident. The en-
gineer reversed his engine to save the
passengers the shock from the collision
and both he and the fireman jumped.

Energetic Protest Failed.

Washington, May 21.-The state de-
partment has been informed that one
house of the legislature of the Brazil
ian state of Pernambuco has passed the
bill creating an exclusive monopoly in
the milling of -four. The news has

The Irreverent Caddie.

Lieut.. Gen. Miles has taken to golf
The other day he was going the rounds
of Chevy Chase at Washington, hav-
ing a critical young person as caddie.
The general, who as yet is far from
being an expert, rolled the ball into
a depression from which he seemed
unable to drive 1t. He struck the Dis
trict of Columbia three or four mighty
whacks, but only succeeded in moving
the ball few feet. The fourth pro-
digious effort was humiliating failure
and the caddie said: See here, old
chap, you'll have to do better or quit.

Catarrh Causes Female Diseases.
America is the land of nervous women.
The great majority of nervous women are
SO because they are suffering from some
form of female disease. BY far the great
est number of female troubles are caused
directly by catarrh. These women despair
of recovery. Female trouble is SO common,
SO prevalent, that they accept it as almost
inevitable. The greatest obstacle in the
way of recovery is that they do not under
stand that it is catarrh which is the source
of their illness.
In female complaint, ninety-nine cases
out of one hundred are nothing but catarrh.
Peruna cures catarrh wherever located.
