Shirt Protector.

When man buys dress shirt nova
days he can depend on the bosom be-
ing absolutely spotless, since, owing to
a new device that has been thought of,
the shirt is protected from the touch
Of soiled fingers that so often were
wont to leave their mark on the fair
surface.
This new style Of protection consists
of an envelope Of transparent paper
that is large enough to hold the shirt,
keep it absolutely clean, and yet en-
abling one to see the size numbers
through 1t. Without adding much to
the cost, the envelope is a great econo-
my to the dealers and makers, since
with its use there is never any cause
for the return Of shirts to the factory
that have been soiled In the handling,
as there Is in the case Of collars and
cuffs.

There is more Catarrh in this section of the
country than all other diseases put together,
and until the last few years was supposed to be
tncurable. For great many years doctors pro-
nounced il a local disease, and prescribed local
rem edies, and by constantly falling to cure
with local treatment, pronounced itincurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be constitu-
tional disease, and therefore requires constitu-
tional treAtment. Hall s Catarrh Cure, m anu
tactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, Is
the only constitutional cure on the m arket. 1t
is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to q

Flour Preserved by Compression.

In England much interest has been
shown of late by the army and navy
authorities in new method of preserv-
ing -four by means of compression.
With hydraulic pressure apparatus the
-four Is squeezed into the form Of
bricks, and experiments are reported to
have shown that the pressure destroys
all forms of larval life, thus preserving
the -four from the ravages of insects,
while it is equally secure from mold.
Three hundred pounds Of compressed
flour occupy the same space as 100
pounds of -four in the ordinary state.

REPUBS IN DOUBT
STILL WAITING TO HEAR FROM
 ROOSEVELT.
c. IT. Scott and District Attorney Arm- tbrecbt are Squnrely for Taft.
 But Mir. Thompson is t
 on Bench.

washington, Dec. 6.-(SpeciaL)- There is a commotion tonight among the southern Republicans here to att tend the National Committee meeting.
 The prevailing impression Is that President Roosevelt will, under no cir cumstances accept another nomination and most of them therefore are trying to find out if Roosevelt is really back ing Secretary Taft. IL is reported Roosevelt will take occasion soon to define his position in that regard.
 Many Republican Senators since talk ing with the President, are convinced that he will not permit nomination to be forced upon him.
 Charles H. Scott. of Alabama. has made up his mind to support Taft for the nomination. Referee Thompson is at this writing non -eommittal. It is tbought Mir. Thompson will be ready before he goes home to hop on the band wagon if he finds out the admin istration is backing Taft earnestly.
 District Attorney Armbrecht of Mo- bile says that the report that he was endorsed for reappointment by Ref eree's Thompson and Scott is erroneous and that he does not owe his appoint ment to their influence. Nor did P. b. Rarker of Mobile support him. Mir Armbrecht also states that he was not one of the Roosevelt third term boys, like most of the Alabama Republicans. He is for Taft, and has been for some time. Aitred J. stofer.

NEW IS CHAIRMAN
INDIANA MAN SUCCEEDs CONTEI-
 YOU ON COMMITTEE.
There is Spirited Contest on Between Kansas City and Chicago for she Next Naffonai
 Convents0m.

Washington. Dec. 6.---The Republi- can National Committee, which was called to meet here to name a time and place for holding the Republican National Convention next year. was in session for an hour at the Shoreham Hotel today but aside from the cleo tion of the acting Chairman. Harry s. New, to fill the remainder of the unex- pired term of Secretary Cortelyou, the session was confined to preliminary de- tails.
 There are delegations here from Kansas City and Denver and while there is no delegation from Chicago, a great deal of work Is being done in behalf of that city by Representative Lowden. who is a member of the Ma tional Committee, and by several oth- CT members who are interesting them selves to the utmost extent to throw the convention to the Lake City. They made material progress during the day and tonight are boldly claiming they have practically won. This Is not conceded by the Kansas City advocates. but most of them do not show the same confidence they manifested yes- terday. Tomorrow's session will be devoted to listening to the claims Of the various cities and after the oratory will come the voting. The fight be- tween Chicago and Kansas Clty was quite acute during the day and there were charges of political interest in both sides. but these were denied.
 Of the hfty-four members of the National Committee, from twenty three to twenty-five are said to be pledged to Kansas City and an equal number to Chicago. The balance oi inc committee membership are non committal. and their votes will decide where the convention will be held.
 President Roosevelt received the members of the committee at the White House this afternoon. The committed was presented to the President as . whole, by Chairman New, as the gen tlemen who conducted the campaign oi 1904 which resulted fin such magni' ficent victory for you"
 President Roosevelt expressed tht desire to utter one single word oi greeting. Al
 T am exceedingly glad" he said. "tC have the opportunity of seeing you ant of expressing my obligs ton to you and of saving furthermore that so fai as in me lies. l have endeavored tG carry myself so as to meet your ex' pectations and make you not regret tho formidable work you did three years ago"
 President Roosevelt then shook hands individually with the members and was photographed with them on tho front steps of the White House.

Baltimore. Dec. 6-The body of Clara Bloodgood, the actress who committed suicide by shooting herself in her room in the Hotel Stafford last night. was taken to New York at noon today by her husband, William Lambeir. of New York. who reached Baltimore this morning.
 MT. Lambeir at once visited the un- dertaker establishment to which his wife's body was taken last night. He declined to receive visitors, but through John Emercon. stage manager of the company of which his wife was a member. said that the note left for him by his wife gave absolutely nc clue as to the motive for her act. It merely related to some business mat ters which she desired him to attend to for her in New York. and evident ly had been laid aside for mailing. MT. Lambeir could not. he declared assign any reason for the deed and MT Emerson added that he. himself, could only ascribe it to fears of possible physical breakdown on the part oi Mrs. Bloodgood.

H.yvood Cnu.ed Trouble.

Los Angeles Cal, Doc. 6.-M. J. Mo nette. president of the Los Angeles Nevada Mining Exchange. and one or the prominent operators at Goidheld, said today:
 "All of the present trouble at Gold field is due to the activity of William D. Haywood. secretary and treasurer of the Western Federation of Miners. It was due solely to his influence that the miners refused to accept checks on Goldfield banks in part payment of their wages some time ago and at a meeting of the miners urged them to refuse these checks.
 q am satisfied that 7s per cent. of tho members of the union are not in sympathy with him in this move, but they seemed to be so thoroughly un- der the control of a few leaders that they have been afraid to take any acc ton. Many of these men are anxious to return to work and in my opinion there will either be split in the union in Goldfield or the open shop rule Will prevail in all of the large mines there. The Mine Owners Association is de- termined that 1t will no longer submit to the arbitrary dictation of few union agitators.

 The American miners of the town have been placed in charge of the re- lief work, but the Italians and other foreigners are working under them most faithfully.
