Francis Marion Cockrell, formerly
United States senator from Missouri
and now a member of the Interstate
commerce commission, is in some.
what precarious condition, not having
recovered as rapidly from his partial
breakdown of a month ago. He is
compelled to remain closely in his
Washington residence and at the re.
cent election, for the first time in 80
years. was unable to cast his vote.
For more than 80 years he probably
has been the hardest worker in pub.
lie life. Several years ago his ply.
sicians warned him to perform less
labor. but he disregarded this admo.
milton, and even now his family has
q hard time to keep him from over.
working himself. He has not gone
to the Offices of the interstate com.
MERGE commission for a month, but
insists upon doing certain amount
of official work at his residence every
day, including Sunday.

Always to Be Depended Upon.
When a person gets up in the morn
ing with dull headache and tired,
stretchy feeling, it's an almost certain
indication that the liver, or bowels,
or both. are decidedly out of order.
At such times Nature, the wisest
and best Of doctors. takes this means
to give warning that she needs the
help and gentle assistance which can
best be obtained from that old FAM
lily remedy. Brandreth's Pills. which
has been in use for over century.
They are the same fine laxative
tonic pill your grandparents used
when doctors were few and far be.
tween. and when people had to have
a remedy that could absolutely be dc.
pended upon.
Brandreth's Pills can be depended
upon. and are sold in every drug and
medicine store. plain or sugar.coated.

the sores began to heal, but small

sores had been. From that time on.

itching that until I became accus.
TONED to 1t, would scratch the sores
until the blood began to flow. This
would stop the itching for a few
days. but scaly places would appear
again and the itching would accom-.
pany them. After I suffered about
ten years made a renewed effort to
erect cure. The eruptions by this
time had appeared on every part of
my body except my face and hands.
The best doctors in my native coun.
" advised me to use arsenic in small
doses and a salve. I then used to
bathe the sores in a mixture which
save almost fntolerable pain. In ad.

leakage of the cotton crop report of the
department of agriculture, tried today

NIT that he had authorized Statistician
Hyde to change the figures in his

yesterday testified had been done, but
did not succeed. The witness at first
declared that ne was positive that he
had not given any such authority, but
later modified the statement TO the ex-
tent of saying that he was quite sure.
Miss Emma S. Thompson, a clerk in
the Office of the statistician said that in
1904. and the first part Of 1905, the re-
ports from the field were generally
handed to her by Mr.. Holmes, with
whom she had frequent conversations
concerning the work. The telegraphic
crop reports always came in code"

Freight Train Ditched.
APPEAL IS GRANTED.
The CasteMane Divorce Case Will Have
New Hearing.

Paris, June 11-Count Boni de Castel-
lanes appeal from the verdict of divorce
obtained by the countess, formerly
Anna Gould of New York, has been
granted by the court of appeals, and a
new hearing before a higher court has
been ordered.
This gives not only Boni, but also his
numerous creditors fresh hope. If he
recovers his position as husband of the
American heiress the creditors will have
an opportunity to tap her money barrel
for the counts debts. They were debar-
red from having recourse to it under the
courts divorce decree.
The divorce was granted last Noven-
ber. The complaint contained the statu-
tory charge, and named several women
by referring to them as Nine Az and
Mime B." This was sdone to protect
the names of the women in question
from publicity. There were also charges
of cruelty, among which were reckoned
the almost unparalleled extravagances
of the count, who used to spend his
wife's money with a lavishness that
would have ruined an Oriental poten-
tate.
