That MIS- Stanford died from natural
causes is the conclusion of President
Jordan of Stanford university, who went
to Honolulu to make investigation. A
member of the board of trustees of the
university, Timothy j. Hopkins, accom-
panied President Jordan and joins in
the following statement: I'm our Judg-
ment, after careful consideration of all
the facts brought to our knowledge, we
are now fully convinced that the death
of Mrs Stanford was not due to strych-
nine poisoning, nor to intentional wrong
doing on the part of any one" No sug-
gestion of a motive on the part OF any
body to do harm TO Mrs. Stanford has
been discovered. The doctors in the
case, however, protest against Prof.
Jordan's conclusion. They assert that
the post mortem gave clear evidence of
stryshnine poisoning, and that Mrs.
stanford died during a characteristic
strychnine convulsion When the doc
tors disagree like this, laymen can only
await further developments.

There Is on exhibition at the capitol ut
Washington a painting in oil Of the late
James G. Blaine, which is intended to
replace the crayon likeness of the de-
ceased statesman which now hangs in
the Speakers lobby Of the House. The
painting is by Thorpe, and was exeeu-
ted on the order of Andrew Carnegie
and other admirers of the Maine states
man. MANY years ago when james a.
Gar field was chairman of the committee
on appropriations be attempted to have
Thorpe paint a portrait Of Mr.. Blaine,
but the latter entertained superstition
against having his portrait painted in
oils and vetoed the movement, with con-
siderable vigor. Thorpe had, however,
made several sketches and had gathered
some data preparatory TO beginning the
work, all of which he preserved. When
Mr.. Carnegie was in Washington last
winter he saw the crayon likeness OF
Mr.. Blaine among the many gorgeous
paintings of former Speakers OF the
House and inquired why "the man from
Maine" was not similarly depicted. On
being told the reason, he hunted up the
artist, Thorpe, and gave him an order
for the portrait, which is soon to be
added to the large collection of oil poI-
traits already hung in the Speak, r
lobby.

Debility

Catarrh is clearly the cause of
debility. No person free of catarrh
IN my opinion was ever troubled with
debility. So you will readily under
stand that the cure of debility de
pends entirely on the cleaning out
Of the catarrhal parasites. No de-
bilty cure will ever cure you as long
as YOU have catarrh. Catarrh is the
cause. Debility is the result. Then
get rid of the cause. No remedy
will every cure you but catarrh
remedy, and no other remedy will do
il but Rexall Mucu-Tone. | make
this statement because know what
Mucu-Tone is and what it will do =
and doesn't it stand to reason that
a remedy designed for one partic-
ular purpose as Mucu-Tone for
catarrh only going to give re-
suits a hundred times better than a
eure-all that aims at every disease
IN the dictionary?
Then | back up our statement
with the broad and liberal guarantee
that if Mucu-Tone fails to give you
any relief we refund the price you pay
me. | can afford to make this state
ment because we know Mucu-Tone
will positively cure you, Since Mucu-
Tone acts entirely different to any
other remedy we know of and we
think | know them all. Mucu-Tone
acts in a scientific way by first of all
destroying the deadly catarrhal germs
ridding the system of every trace.
Then as the very name-Mucu-Tone
implies, it tones up the mucous
tissues, the tissues on which the
catarrhal parasites live. Then there
IS a chance to get well. No other
remedy but Rexall Mucu-Tone will
do it Get Mucu-Tone. 1t destroys
every trace of the germs of catarrh.
1t heals and soothes the tissues. 1t
tones up the entire system. l have
large trial size for fifty cents that
guarantee to give results. l
want you to try bottle on my per
sonal recommendation.

''rhe commissioner can't enforce the

said ~. G. Thomas OF Stowe, State fish

talking about affairs in his department.
The statement was the outGrowth OF IL
query as to how the law was being OBJ
served throughout the State. Mr.. Thomas
has had some trouble with his wardcns
and has just removed two. He has decid-
ed that hereafter wardcns will be APP
pointed for 60 days only and if in that
time they prove satisfactory their APP
