proval Of the several administrations
under which he has served. and he Will

istration Of affairs relating to the inter-
ests OF the Five Civilized Tribes and the

Now that the season is approaching

pleasant experience eff colds. with the
consequent wearing strain of coughing
and the danger Of more serious trouble
apt to follow neglect, the following simple

break VI a cold in "a hours and cure any
cough that is durable. Mix thoroughly
a half ounce Of Virgin Oil of Pine with
two ounces of glycerine and eight ounces
OF good whisky. Use in teaspoonful doses

place OF the whisky with the same eheet.
The ingredients are inexpensive, and
can be purchased without trouble at any

Annapolis, Nd, Oct 1.-THE board OF
inquest detailed by Superintendent Bad
ger, Of the Naval Academy, to investigate
into the circumstances connected with
the suicide OF Lieut. James N. Sutton,
jr., which occurred at the local Marine
Barracks early Sunday morning. finished
its sessions to-day. after examining sew
eral additional witnesses. It's report viii
be forwarded to the Navy Department.
Although the details Of the report would
not be discussed by local officials, it has
been practically admitted that the con-
clusions Of the board were that the death
Of Lieut. Sutton was suicidal.
Testimony was taken along various
lines, but It is said that nothing was
brought out that would show that young
Sutton met with foul play. or was the
victim Of a personal encounter.
Was Temporarily Demented.
The authorities of the Academy are in
clined TO the belief that Sutton was
temporarily demented at the time, and,
knowing that two Of the officers who
attempted TO disarm him were shot when
the pistol in some manner was dis
charged, became frightened and then
turned the weapon upon himself, think
ing that he had killed one OF his fellow
officers.
Lieuts. r. E. Adams and Edward P
Rocker were the officers who disarmed
Sutton. The former was shot through the
right forehnger, and the latter was struck
in the breast by a bullet, but it did moth
ing more than inflict a slight abrasion Of
the skin Lieut. Rocker had known SUIT
ton for a number Of years, they having
been classmates while midshipmen at the

Mr.. Elmendorf declares that Col. Goeth-

spot on earth into a healthful region. The
views shown bear out the statements, as
the swamps are being filled UP. the tfop-
