CARD To THE PUBLIC.

In view of the fact that many o.
my friends are making inquiry as to
whether or not will be a candidate
for reelection to the office of Trus
tee, have deemed it proper to thus
publicly state that l will not be q
candidate; and in making this an
nouncement, | also wish to return
sincere thanks for the generous sup
port accorded me in the past aud to
assure each and every one of my
friends that they will ever hold a
warm place in my heart.
Respectfully,
r. n. MITCHELL.
Bolivar, Tenn, Dec. Z, 1908.

ry. Mr.. Mitchell has made a most
faithful and accommodating official,
always true to his trust, ever loyal
to his friends, and he voluntarily
retires after an honorable service of
twelve years. He has carefully
protected and zealously guarded the
public interest and he has and de-
serves the best wishes of the people

TennesSeanS on Committees.

W ashington, Dec. 5.-In the com
mittee assignments announced by
Speaker Cannon to-day, Tennessee
fares well. Mr.. Moon has the
honor of being the ranking Demo
cratic member of the Commit. ee on
Postoffices and Territories. Mr..
Sims is still the ranking Democratic
member on the War Claims Com
mittee and is again member of the
District of Columbia Committee.
Mr.. Sims was anxious to be re-
lieved of the latter assignment, in
order that he might go on some
other committee having interest
nearer TO his constituents, but
Speaker Cannon would not hear to
it. Mr.. Sims and Mr.. Cowherd
(Mo. J, are the two most aggressive
Democrats on the District Commit
tee, and Speaker Cannon retained
both, as he desired there should be
some balance wheel against the
large number of ''grafts" that are
always attempted to be put through
this committee. Mr.. Pierce re
tains his position of being second in
rank among the Democrats on the
appropriations, and BOSS" Brown
low holds on to his place on this
committee. Mr.. Richardson, who
intends to retire after this term, and
who is letting his important as
signments pass in other hands on
account Of Masonic Duties, is on
the Library Committee. Mr.. Fitz-
patrick gets a good place as a mem
Der of the Committee on Education.
He is also on the Committee on Ex-
penditures In the War Department.
Mr.. Padgett resumes his post as a
member of the Banking and Curreu-
cy Committee, while Mr.. Patterson
retains his membership on the In
sular Affairs Committee.
Mr.. Gaines fares badly, getting
his former assignment on the Com
m1ttee on Coinage, Weights and
Measures, the duties of which are
usually usurped by the Committee
on Banking and Currency. Mr..
Gaines made fight for member
ship on the Rivers and Harbors
Committee and was recommended
by leader Williams, but was turned
down by Speaker Cannon in favor
of Mr.. Humphreys (Miss), brand
new member. Mr.. Cannon gave as
reason for this that Mr.. Gaines did
not have enough waterway interests
In his district, whereas he wanted a
member directly interested in the
Mississippi River.

much longer. A great mistake is made
by the man who returns 70 his work too
soon after an attack OF grip" IL viii
be remembered that Il was stated in this
paper a few days ago that the getting
well stage Of the grip is the most dan
gerous, and that many fatal cases OF
grip and pneumonia are caused by the
patient taking some so-called cough
syrup. 'balsam," or patent medicine
which depends upon poisonous drugs and
weakening stimuiants for its effect.
These drugs deaden the nerves and
stop secretion along the breathing pas
sage. which is always followed by con-
gestion and infammation-and that
causes penUmonia.
Without these injurious drugs. Father
Johns Medicine cures grip. colds. long
standing coughs. and all throat and lung
troubles. 1t is not patent medicine or
cough syrup" but a body builder and
tonic. IL cures colds by soothing and
healing the throat and nourishes the

demonstration Of the system since the

proposed TO establish communication
with stations as far south as Key West

OF the system Will be the disseminating
of storm warnings to vessels at sea. 1t is
claimed that a vessel can be informed of
an approaching storm Iwenty-fOur hours

Anew-Numbar of Hybrids.

The American buffalo can easily be
restored TO considerable numbers by
means of ,he hybrids II the Government,
or private individuals. would take the
trouble which is necessary for any good
stock raising" Director John W. Smith
Of the Central Park Menagerie, said yes
terday. The half-breeds can be re-
stored 10 full-bioods by successive gen
erations and the strain of domestic cat
tie thoroughly eliminated. The buffalo
can be raised in captivity as well as IN
a wild state, as has been shown right
here in this park. and there is no good
reason why the numbers shouldn't al
most double every year. II a sufficient
effort wGs made it is quite possible to
have many thousands of the pure blood
ed animals within ten years in this
country.
Nearly all of tte pure bloods in this
country are owned by private individuals
or geological gardens. The National
Government has a herd of twenty-two
running wild In Yellowstone National
Park. The only others running wild, ac-
cording 70 the information gathered by
the authorities OF the National zoologi-
cal Park are eight which are in Lost

There is a herd OF wild buffalo
in the region OF the Great Slave Lake

that there were 500 OF them. and the

ONE-EIGHTH OF BRAIN
REMOVED BY SURGEON
Patient Doing Well, and Doctors
Expect Recovery.

NEW YORK. March 16.-Surgeons in
st. GATHERINGS Hospital. Brooklyn. have
successfully performed wonderful
operation. and one that was never be-
fore attempted They opened the head
Of a patient of the name OF Inselman,
forty years old. removed one-eighth OF
his brain, and closed the skull again.
Inselman struck his head in fall six
weeks ago and tumor OF the brain de-
veloped. The growth was on the left
side and as IL increased in size and ma
lignity the physicians had little hope of
saving the mans life
Or. Matthias Figueria was put in
charge OF the case and decided upon d
heroic operation as affording the only
chance OF saving the patient, Insel-
man was taken to the hospital, and. as
sisted by the hospital STAFF, DR.. Figue-
ria performed the operation last Thurs
day Several prominent physicians wit
messed IT.
To reach and remove the large growth
on the brain II was necessary 20 cut )ut
a piece OF the skull twelve square inches
in size. lift this and remove the tumor-
The latter had spread and so twinei
itself among the brain matter that part
Of the brain was necessarily taken out
with the tumor.
Inselman quickly rallied from the
shock of the operation, and the recovery
Of all his faculties in their full strength
is confidently expected.
