IN HONOR OF woLcoTT
MANY EXPRESSIONS OF SORROW
Both Friends and Opponents Tell Of
His Remarkable Ability and
Achievements.

Washington, March 3.-News of the
death of former Senator Wolcott brings
forth general expressions of sorrow
from many public men at the capital
A large number of senator's with whom
he was associated during his service
in the Senate took occasion to speak
Of his ability and of his wonderful
power of leadership when he chose to
exert it.
Few had known that he was in a
serious condition and the news of his
death in the prime of life caused uni
versal shock. Among the older sena-
tors two of Wolcott's greatest speeches
were recalled, one nominating Blaine
for president at Minneapolis in 1892.
the other at the National Republican
convention in 1900 when he assumed
the duties of chairman of the conyen-
ton.
The opinion was generally expressed
that had death not interrupted VOL
colts career he would again have rep
resented Colorado in the Senate.
Senator Teller. in speaking of the
death of his former collegue, said:
Il have heard with the deepest re-
gret the news of the death of Senator
Wolcott. While it was wholly unex-
pected to me, | knew he was not in
good health. but did not think the
trouble was serious. and in my last
conversation with him he himself
thought he would recover his usual
good health.
1.-The personal relations of Senator
Wolcott and myself were always pleas
ant. The fact that l left the Republi-
can party and he remained did not
sever our friendship, and l feel his
death in personal sense and regret
1t more than l can express in mere
words. He was a man of great abil-
ity, natural born leader and one of
Colorado's strongest men. l have no
doubt that had he lived and Repub-
lican been sent to the Senate two years
from now, he would have been the
man.
Colorado suffers in mis- death for he
was one of its greatest characters"
Senator Patterson said:
The death of ex-senator. Wolcott
bushes all adverse criticism and calls
out acknowledgements of his great tai.
ent and charming manners, which fall
spontaneously from the lips of all who
knew him. He had the strength of a
born leader. His wonderful power
with men is shown in vivid light from
the fact that although he has been SO
little in Colorado for the past six or
eight years he held to the last thou.
sands of devoted friends who followed
his fortunes in sunshine and storm and
through evil and good repute. The
death of Senator Wolcott removes a
powerful element for good in Colorado
for he had been so thoroughly indie
pendent that he kept in close touch
with people and always had their re-
spect and confidence"
Congressman Bonynge said: HE
was one of the strongest characters
and ablest men Colorado has produced
| as United States senator. He gained
reputation for craftsmanship and
ability that reflected great credit upor
| our state"

Will 1t Cure Consumption?
we cannot hold out the promise

MO, we cannot hold out the promise
" that DR.. Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discovery will cure con-
sumption when thoroughly
seated and established. We doubt II
any medicine will then cure, although
hundreds have been cured by the
Discovery after their attending
physicians had pronounced their cases
to be regular tubercular consumption.
The fact is that the " Golden Medical
Discovery" does cure severe throat and
bronchial affections, lingering coughs,
and those obstinate, wasting, run
down" conditions which, il neglected
or improperly treated, run on and
terminate in genuine consumption.
We know that thousands of men and
women although in the advanced stages
of feebleness and emaciation paid,
wasted and broken-down with all the
terrible symptoms of hacking coughs,
night sweats, hectic fever, absolute
prostration, and even bleeding from
the lungs-have been restored by the
use of this marvellous medicine TO per-
But it must be taken in time, before
the lungs have been filed with tuber-
cular deposits, or have actually begun

Special Body to Consider Testimony
Against Packing Firms Is at Last
Selected by the Attorneys-Detec-
tIves Watch Witnesses.

Chicago, March 22.-The special
grand jury to investigate the so-called
beef trust" was completed today. The
huge mass of testimony available was
Immediately attacked.
Among the important witnesses who
will appear before the grand Jury are
Miss M. A. Dinock, private secretary
to j. Ogden Armour; G. o. Young,
general superintendent, and George F.
Morgan, assistant superintendent Of
Swift & Co.
Fifteen secret service men have been
brought to Chicago to guard witnesses
who will appear and testify before the
special grand jury. So great Is the
desire Of federal officials to maintain
strict secrecy in the investigation that
every witness who testifles will be
closely guarded by one Of the secret
service men to prevent his being ap-
preached by newspaper men or agents
Of the packers. O. B. Morrison, who
was yesterday appointed district at
torney, declared last night that any
person detected speaking to, or inquir-
ing the names OF any Of the witnesses
will be liable to contempt of court.

HULL MAY HEAD REPUBLICAN,
CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE

Washington, D. c., March %. = Pol
itics of the largest Importance gathers
around the announcement made last
night by Postmaster General Cortelyou
of the selection of Colonel Harry S.
New as head of the republican national
committee and Of Representative
Joseph w. Babcock of Wisconsin as
national committeeman from Wiscon-
sin to succeed Henry G. Payne. Poll
ticians here are greatly interested in
| it and are discussing its possibilities.
It means the retirement of Mr.. Bah
cock as chairman Of the republican ma
tional congressional committee and the
selection of another man in his place.
Who that successor will be is uncer-
tain. Two names are already men
tioned-those Of Representative Hull
and Of Representative Overstreet of
Indiana. Both were intimately asso.
ciated with Mr.. Babcock in the con.
duct of the congressional campaign
last fall, Overstreet as secretary to the
committee and Captain Hull as chair.
man of the executive committee. Be.
cause Of his long experience in con
gressional politics 1t is expected that
Captain Hull will stand strong
chance of nomination.
Overstreet's friends want him Sc
lected, but the fact that the chairman
ship Of the national committee has
gone to Indiana will work against him

rule and of the fact that their recon-

ROOSEVELT PROVES RIGHT
TO "CIVIL SERVICE" TITLE

Washington, D. c., March 22-Pres-
ident Roosevelt is making sweeping
extensions of the operations of civil
service 1t is now learned definitely
on the authority Of the postmaster gen.
eral that the policy Of the new admin
istration with reference to postmasters
of all classes, from presidential down
to fourth class, is that changes are to
be made only for cause.
1t was announced after recent cab
met meeting that eight years of post
office service would not be barrier
to continuance, but until now 1t was
not known and, 1t might be added, not
dreamed by the politicians that the
policy would be so radical as to de.
mand the filing of charges susceptible
of investigation and proof to accom-.
plish change of postmasters of the
presidential class.

MAN SUSPECTED OF DERAlLING
ROCK ISLAND LIMITED is
in CUSTODY.
NAME is. NOT DIYULGED
Officials and Detectives Of the Rail-
road Divided In Opinion as to What
Prompted Wreckers- May Have
Been Insanity Instead Of cupIdlty.

Des Moines, March 22.-One arrest
was made today in connection
with the Rock Island wreck at Home
stead early yesterday morning. The
officers refuse to divulge the name of
the prisoner.
AS soon as possible after the wreck
a number Of railroad detectives were
hurried to the scene and they have
been working upon the case since that
time. Their Investigations have as
sured them Of two facts; namely,
First-The wreck was not, as at
first thought, the result Of a soft road.
bed, but was the work Of parties un.
known who had for their object the
derailment OF the train.
Second-If the wreck was the work
Of robbers they were disappointed by
not being able to ditch the whole train
and thus put the passengers at their
mercy. In the opinion of many OF
the detectives the wreck was caused
by persons bent only upon derailing
the train and destroying property
either because of spite or envy or be
cause Of some form Of insanity.
"At first we were sure 1t was the
work Of bandits, but later details indi
cate that the train was wrecked FOL
purposes other than robbery" said q
high official Of the road.
"No effort was made to rob the
train, although 1t Is possible that the
robbers were frightened away when II
was seen that several persons hat
been killed or injured"
This is the third mishap to trains o1
the Rock Island road in the vicinity oi
Davenport and Des Moines within the
last two, years. The perpetrators O
the former Grim mes-holdups Of west
bound trains from Chicago In one O
which the robbers are supposed tt
have escaped with $75, 900 have never
been arrested.
