Reasons for the Wintry Weather.

New York, May 23.--Captain T.

reason for the cold weather. He
says the gulf stream, which ordinari-

grees north latitude, is away to the

a high barometer, with a southerly
wind, which Is very unusual. Il
won't say that the gulf stream is out

It is to the ,northward of it's normal

FUSIONIST CONTEST

fcials Must Go.
COURT OF APPEALS DECISION
FuslOnists Win Victory and Democrat
lie Office Holders In the Kentucky
Metropolis Will Have to Give Up
Their Jobs.

Their Jobs.
Louisville, May 2S.--The Courier
Journal says that the court Of appeals
has voted, to 2. to reverse the de-
cision OF Judges Kirby and Miller, OF
the Jefferson circuit court in the con-
test Of the fusionists to GUST the dem
ocrat1c officenolders of Louisville and
jefferson county, who were declared
elected in the fall Of 1905.
The court was expected to hand
down the decision Wednesday, and
it will have the effect of turning out
all city and county officials.
The democratic officials have thirty
judicial days in which to enter a mo-
lion for a rehearing.
When the mandate Of the court is
sent 10 Louisville, II is likely that
considerable confusion will follow in
determining just who Is to succeed to
the offices made vacant by the deci-
sion. II is understood that the friends
of former Mayor Granger, who was
succeeded by Mayor Barth are having
the law looked up under the impress
sion that the right Of succession is
his. II is said that the contention
of the democrats is that the law says
that a mayor is elected for term
Of four years, or until his successor
is elected and qualified. II the court
of appeals holds that there was no
election, Mr.. Changers successor
was not elected.
Under this contention It is held by
some OF the democrats that Mr..
Granger shall tack his seat until the
federal election.
The fusionists on the other hand,
maintain the governor under the law
with a right to appoint a mayor be-
cause, while Mr.. Barth was elected
and did qualify such election is null
and void. and Mr. Graingers success
sor having been elected, although
Illegally, and having qualified, al
though without authority, Mr.. Grain
gers term has expired, both by lapse
OF tenure and also because OF the
qualification OF his successor.

country from people who had given up
hope of ever seeing another well day,
and neighbor is telling neighbor of
some great good received from the
use of Root Juice, many people are
wondering why this great remedy was
not discovo~ed years ago. What a
great boo humankind is a remedy
like Roo e, a combination of ma
lures d, that soothes and heals
and tone 3 stomach, liver, kidneys
and bowels. How sweet is health and
how wonderful are the many cures
that Root Juice has made of rheuma-
tism, catarrh, Indigestion, female
weakness and other troubles of the d.
gestive and secretory organs. Those
who wish to learn of this great rene
dy should go to Luken's drug store,
where Root Juice is sold for 81 bot
tie. "Uzeit" Pain Oil for all aches
and pains, will relieve nervous head
