The charges which were formulated against Judge Liddon, a member of the Jackson County bar. have about fallen flat. according to the looks of things. The most serious of the doffenses charged have been investigated by the court and most of them have been thrown out.
 Judge Parkhill, who is sitting upon tho case, threw out several of the spec ificati6ns, regarding them as not dis parable offenses. The termination of the case is greatly surprising to those who at first thought the attorney would be promptly busted.

Spring Catarrh.

Almost everyone has come to believe that spring is a season that brings de- engagements of the body dependent on blood impurities!
 This belief is an old one, is nearly universal and has ariseii,, not as the result of the teachings of the medical fraternity. but has been learned in the bitter school of experience.
  Nervous Depression.
 Depression of the nervous system at the approach of spring is a fertile source of blood impurities. There are general lassitude, dull. heavy sensations, continual tired feel ings. with irregular appetite, and sometimes loss of sleep.
 That Tired Feeling.
 That tired feeling. which is the nat ural result of the depressing effect of warm weather immediately after the invigorating cold of winter, quickly disappears when Peruna is taken.

New Appointment Said to Be Assured

succeed Frank w. Palmer
Among the names prominently men
toned IS Jonn l.. BristOw, who led In

mis- trouble with Postmaster General
Wynne was sent to Panama on spe-
cial inquiry for the president. He Is
a practical printer, owns two news
papers in Kansas and is tireless in his
uprooting of jobbery and graft. He
would be selected, if at all, in recog-
milton of the need of such services.
Another proposal is that of A. H. Nc
Quilkin, editor of the Inland Printer,
of Chicago, which exemplifies the best
work of the typographer's art. 1t is
said that President Roosevelt wants
to raise the standard of output of gov

an eve to the selection Of some printer
who in private life is making record.
Oscar T. Rockets, the present cn1ef

date for the place, having many strong
hackers among those who are in touch
with the work of the office.

WOMAN AccoMPLIcE HELD.
Eleanor Van Deventer Admits That
She Posed for Pictures.

NEW YORK, July 29.-Another wo-
man whose name the police refuse to
reveal, was taken to police headquar-
ters this afternoon to be questioned
in the investigation of the alleged
blackmail practiced by Frederick E.
Carlton, the so-called "Bluebeard," !"
suspected of poisoning two of his many
alleged wives.
Seven of the pictures of young wO-
men found in Cartons trunks have
been identified. The addresses of the
girls will give an idea of the scope of
Cartons operations. They include:
Mary Clendening of ST. Louis, Louisa
Cravath of Buffalo, Beatrice Clay of
Portland, Or; Annie Fulkersham of
Baltimore, Bessie Cluger of Cincinnati
and Alice Smith and Eliza Harwell of
Chicago.
Following the examination of Eleanor
Van Deventer and the mysterious wo-
man today Inspector Cross said:
Il can now state that Eleanor Van
Deventer has made a free and frank
confession to me. She has admitted
that she posed for his pictures, but she
denies that she knew they were to be
used for blackmailing purposes.
Il am just as positive as ever that
we will send Carlton to prison for a
long term Of years on any or all of
five different charges. 1 am still look
ing into the theory that he poisoned
his wives by deadly germs, and if mur-
der was committed in this way we will
try to prove it. If we do we will have
on the records the most up-to-date
murderer of the age"
