Attorney General Jackson's Action
In Behalf Of w. n. Hearst.
ALBANY, N. Y, Feb. S-Governor
Hughes heard arguments on the appli-
cation of Attorney General Jackson
requesting the governor to appoint an
extraordinary term of the supreme
court in New York city and the desig-
nation of justice to try the action
brought to test the title of George B.
Mcclellan to the office of mayor Of
New York. Eugene Lamb Richards,
Jr., and former Supreme Court Justice
G.. d. b. Hasbrouck appeared for May
or Mcclellan and Attorney General
Jackson and Clarence ]. Shearn in ia
,yor Of the application. Decision was
reserved.
MIR. Richards In opposing the applica-
ton contended that the action taken
by the attorney general was unwar-
ranted in law in view of the present
condition Of the action. that it was
premature and not made in good faith
and that 1t was an effort through ex-
ecutive action to overthrow the judi
cial determination as TO the setting Of
time for the trial and the striking Of
a jury for the same in the supreme
J court of New York.
Attorney General Jackson referred to
letter recently sent to the governor
In which he recited In detail the va
rious steps in the litigation and con-
tended that the attorneys for Mayor
Mcclellan had resorted to all means to
delay the trial Of the action. This po-
sition was also supported by Mr..

ut Washington.

WASHINGTON, Feb. s-Frank n.

first assistant postmaster general In
order to devote his time to the Taft
campaign for the presidential nomina-
ton. He will he succeeded by Charles
P. Grandfield, who has been for some
time and is now chief clerk In the
office of the first assistant.
Both Mr.. Hitchcock and Mr.. Grand

should leave the postofice department
within the next few days and that the
nomination Of Mr.. Grandfeld be sent
to the senate at about the same time.
The exact date when the resignation
will take effect is not known.
Mr.. Hitchcock's resignation has been
expected for some time or since 1t be-
came known that arrangements had
been perfected whereby he will take
charge Of the Taft campaign in the
east and south.
When Mr.. Hitchcock called at the
White House 1t created good deal Of
interest, inasmuch as 1t was known
that he had attached himself to the
Taft presidential movement and was
ready to quit the federal service to
further the cause of the secretary of
war in the east and south. Mr.. Hitch
cock spent some time In conference
with the president.
1t was originally planned that Mr..
Hitchcock should leave the postof1ice
department on Feb. l. The date of
his departure was then postponed In
order to enable him to wind up certain

ACCUSE PENNYPAckER.
Former Governor Of Pennsylvania
Brought Into Capitol Graft Case.

HARRISBURG. Pa, Feb. 8. - The
three former state officers, charged
with conspiracy In the furnishing of
the new capitol, took sensational turn
when Stanford Il. Lewis, assistant to
Architect Huston, declared with dra-
matte earnestness that Huston's letter
to former Attorney General Carson ex-
planning his part In the contracts bad
been prepared at the suggestion of
former Governor Pennypacker, former
Auditor General Snyder, one of the
defendants, and Mr.. Carson and that
it was misleading" and intended to
be 'whitewash."
Lewis was being subjected to Sc
we're cross examination by Mr.. Gilbert
of counsel for the defense about the
letter, and when asked IL certain state
ments made by Huston were true the
witness demanded the right to explain
the circumstances under which it was
written.
Rising In his seat and speaking with
his right hand raised above his head,
he told a story which astonished every
one In the crowded courtroom except
the lawyers for the commonwealth.
According to Lewis story, when it
came to Illusions turn to write an an
swer to Mr.. Carson. Lewis was tele-
ph0ned to come to Harrisburg by Pen
nypacker and Snyder and that the let
ter was prepared at conference with
those two officers and the former attor-
ney general to "dovetail'' in with 9TH
ers prepared by state officers connected
with the construction and equipment
of the capitol.
Mr.. Gilbert had Lewis identify the
Huston letters and then forced the wit
ness to admit that the architects state
ments to the effect that he had weigh
ed and measured articles of furniture
for the capitol were practically false
and made for purpose.

Sleep

Sleep is natures re-
building period, when the
energy used by the brain,
muscles and organs is re-
newed. If you lose sleep,
your system is robbed of
the strength sleep should
give. Continued loss of
sleep multiplies this loss
until you become a phys
zeal wreck. DR.. Miles
Nervine quiets the irri-
tated nerves and brings
refreshing, invigorating
sleep. Nervine contains
no opiates, and therefor
leaves no bad after-effects.
For over two years I suffered un-
told agonles; my friends thought I
was going crazy. I could not sleep
nor rest at ALL I tried different doc
tors, but failed to find relief. My
head would ache all the time / was
like one drunk; could not concentrate
my mind and was so restless and
worried that sleep was out of the

Excellent Advice to Young Men and

1t is a fact that people in general
have little conception of the cumula-
tive power of compound interest.
Money at compound interest grows
night and day, ceaselessly. and when
compounded semi-annually grows to
an extent that very few realize unless
they have taken the trouble to figure
1t out.
How many young men there are that
waste, In ways that are often worse
than useless, the hard earned dollars
of their younger days and come down
to old age In poverty!
How few young men there are VINO
could not at the age of fifteen begin
to save at least ten cents per day.
Even this moderate sum, II placed
at semi-annual compound interest,

Consul General Richard Guenther,
OF Frankfort, advises that newspaper
of that German city states that the
fern plant, which grows almost every
where, is an excellent presrevative for
packing articles of food, fruit, etc.
A summary OF the article follows:
People who have lived in England
have used it successfully for many
years. Valuable fruit, fresh butter,
etc., are no longer seen in the English
markets packed in grapevine leaves,
but amost always in fresh fern leaves,
which keeps the articles eXoellently.
This is done whsre grapevine leaves
are to be had in abundance. Every
one posted we'll in botany knows the
high preservative power of fern leaves
with reference to vegetable and ami
mai substances.
On the Isle of Man fresh herrings
are packed in ferns and arrive in as
fresh condition as when they are
shipped. Potatoes packed in ferns
keep many months longer than others
packed only in straw. Experiments
made with both straw and fern leaves
in the same cellar showed surprising
results in favor OF ferns. While the
potatoes packed in straw mostly
showed signs of rotting in the spring,
those IN ferns we're as fresh as if they
had just beer dug
Fresh meat is also well preserved by
feIr leaves. l. would seem es il the

the railroad company changed the
name of Bingen station to White
Salmon aud every body is happy.
I We believe this change will be
found OF material advantage to the
valley whose fruits and berries ale
known far and vide. Anything that
helps the valley helps the town of
White Salmon, therefore we will be
benefited. This also can be said OF
Bingep. Whatever helps this town
and valley Is bound to be of mater ial
advantage to Bingen. And there are
other ways in which our little sister
city will be benefited.
They say that "All things come to
those who wait. " White Salmon has
always coOntelded for the name of
the station. We we're not so very
particular where it was located, so
long as it was located where We could
get to it in reasonable distance, but
for the benefit of our shippers We
wanted the station called by the name
by which our fruit and berries are
known in the markets OF the world
We thought tIom the first tha; the
name Of the station should be ours,
but for long time we we're unable to
make any impression on the railroad
company, but after working through
the strawberry season the company
seem to have become convinced that it
would be to their advantage to have
the station called White Salmon.
