Congressman May Not Enter
Sub Treasury Caucus
MEMPHIANS CALL ON SHAW
There Appears to Be Little Likelihood
That Hobson Will Be Placed On
House Naval Affairs
Committee.

Washington, December H.-(Special)-
A Memphis delegation headed by Senator
Carmack of Tennessee had an interview
with Secretary Shaw this morning in or
der to advance the chances of that city
for the new sub-treasury Senator Car
mack and the Tennesseans seem to
think that as a result of their visit Mem
phis and Nashville are out of the race.
After the conference Secretary Shaw
said to an Age-Herald correspondent that
he had only repeated to the Tennesseans
what he had said to other delegations,
VIZ, that it is entirely in the hands of
the caucus.
"As far as I am concerned" said the
secretary, II do not care who partlel-
pates in this caucus. l would not object
to its being left to Congress. 1t is, of
course. my judgment that Memphis and
Nashville are too far west for the sub
treasury. In other words, too near st.
Lcuis.'
Senator Carnack said that he doubts
whether, in view of the seeretary's atti-
tude. it is worth while for Tennessee to
enter the caucus At the same time it is
understood that Chattanooga wants the
sub-treasury and this may bring the Ten-
nesseans into the game. 1t is reported
that in case the Tennesseans cannot land
Chattanooga. a number of them are IA
vCrable to Charleston, Savannah or some
other point as far east as possible, on
the principle that if the sub-treasury is
located at either Birmingham or Atlanta
j. would interfere with the hopes of Ten
nessee for a sub-treasury i'll the future.
This, however. is at present mere gossip,
rs practically every member of the House
is out of the city, and their views on the
situation cannot, therefore, be learned.
hes4rded as Closed Incident.
So far as the President and the Seere-
tary of War are concerned the dismissal
of the troops of the Twenty-ffth infantry
is a closed incident. In the event that the
Senate proceeds with an investigation of
the Brownsville shoot-up on its own ac-
count, the war department will have
nothing to say. Everything in the hands
O; the department was transmitted to the
Senate, and it remains for that body to
decide what course it will take. 1t is
doubtful if Senator Foraker, Senator
Penrose and Senator Scott will be able
to secure a majority for further inves-
tigation.

To Discourage. Con tests.

Iu his character Of watchdog Of the
Treasury Dr. Richard 8. Hill, of this
county, made an effolt Tuesday night to
discourage the numerous defeated candi.
dates of both parties who are contesting
seats of msmbers of the House of Dele
gates by providing that the expenses OF
an unsuccessful. contestant shall not be
paid by the State.
In presenting an order to this effect he
cited the fact that in the last three ses
sions of the Legislature $11 900 had been
paid by the House to unsuccessful contes-
full contestants, and that it was time some
check was put upon the INSCRIPTIONS
mu,cting of the State. In speaking on
the order Dr.. Hill said that he was in a
rather delicate position, inasmuch as a
notice of contest for the present, on the
ground the he did not believe the Demo
Gratis OF the House would unseat DR.. Hill
The Speaker referred the order to the
Committee on Elections, which, upon
motion of DR.. Hill is instructed to report
in three days.
Should this order be adopted by the
House it will probably put an end to
nearly all of the contests which have been
instituted Heretofore it has been THE
custom of the House to pay the counsel
fees and exp enses Of beth parties to the
contests, and there is no doubt that many
of them have been made upon insufficient
grounds and solely for the purpose Of
making counsel fees.
The order recites these facts and also
calls upon the Election Committee to re-
port promptly all contests referred to it,
so as net to let them drag through the
the session. as has been done.

debts as we'll as large ones will contri

Commonly, the first symptom of "cold'
is a chilly feeling, accompanied by sneez-
ing, or tickling in the throat. The most
frequent of external causes are draughts,
wet or cold feet, or going from hot rooms
suddenly into cold ones. More frequently
there is an inner cause-namely the stagna-
ton of the blood caused by constipation or
biliousness. Almost the first symptom IS
the feeling of cold in the feet and increased
discharge from the nose.
No one ever takes cold unless consti-
pated, or exhausted, and having what we
call NAL nutrition, which is attended with
IMPOVERISHED blood and exhaustion ofnerve
force. TONES consisting of large portions
of alcohol, iron or cod liver oil do not bring
the desired changes in the blood, because
they do not enter the system and are not
absorbed into the blood, with the exception
of the alcohol, which shrivels up the red
blood corpuscles when it does come in
contact with them. We recommend the
botanical extract of DR.. Pierce because 1t
contains no alcohol, and offers reasonable
and scientific method of treating the blood,
by improving the nutritive functions of the
patient. The rGolden Medical Discovery
accomplishes this, by first restoring the
enfeebled digestive organs, so that food:
the natural tissue builder, will be digested
and assimilated
accept no substitute for DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. There is moth
ing inst as good" for diseases OF toe
