Warts.

Little is known about the causa-
ton of warts except that the irrita-
ton of dirt is in the majority of
cases the prevailing factor. The
color of them is caused by dirt, and
if they are well scrubbed with soap
and nail brush they will become
lemon or pink color or even quite
white. The best application is sal
icylic acid, either with collodion or
in the form of plaster. Every
three or four days the parts should
be well soaked in hot water and the
softened portions of the wart peel
ed away, when the application is re-
uewed.-London Answers.

WILL NAME SENATOR
GOVERNOR WILL APPOINT FOR
UNExPIRED TERM, AND BE A
CANDIDATE HIMSELF.

Lake Forest, H., Aug. 5.-Goy. Al
bert b. Cummins of Iowa last night an
nounced himself as candidate to sue
ceed Senator Allison in the federal
congress.
The governor paid a glowing tribute
to his late adversary's services to
Iowa and the country at large, then
frankly declared his ambition to be
elected to the upper house by the leg
islature of his state. He also an
nounced that "some one will be APP
pointed at once to occupy Senator Al
lisons seat for the remaining months
of his unexpired term
Il shall make an effort to succeed
Senator Allison" said Governor Cum
minis when he was asked concerning
his political intentions. He declared
that there is plenty of senatorial tim
Der in Iowa, but declined to discuss
possible candidates for the appoint
ment.
Governor Cummins will cut short
his vacation and return to Des Moines
today. 1t is expected that confer
ence of his political friends will be
called at once and that within few
days definite news regarding the short
term senatorship will be announced.
The governor stated that the decision
to fill the vacancy at once was due
to the fact that the legislature of the
state would be unable to elect man
for the place in time for the reassem-
bling of congress in December, and
that unless an appointment is made
the state would not have its full repre-
|sentation at Washington.

cy, and will himself be candidate be
fore the legislature next winter, is
being discussed with the greatest con.
cern. Whom will the governor ap.
point? The names most prominently
mentioned are those of Ex-Governor
VIM. Larribee and Editor A. b. Funk,
of the Spirit Lake Beacon.
There is considerable gossip tn-..
Governor Cummins might resign and
accept the appointment himself at the
hands of Mr.. Garst, who would thus
be promoted from the lieutenant gov.
ernorship. Some of the governors
friends are insisting that it is his duty
to do this, and that he would thus be
in stronger position before the gen
eral assembly next January Others
are positive that this would be an un-
dignified proceeding.
From other quarters 1t is urged that
the governor call a special session oil
the present legislature, which is con
trolled by his faction and which would
probably elect him to the vacancy.
Against this plan it is urged that
public sentiment would hardly approve
of a plan so expensive and not de
manded by public emergency.

Constantine, Aug. 5.--Following the
earthquake of yesterday, killing from

Friedrichshafen, Aug. 5.-Arising
from its floating dock on the dark
green waters of Lake Constance early
Tuesday morning, the great dirigible
airship of Count Zeppelin was sent
away for a 24-hour journey in the air
to Mayence and return. Late at night
the apex of the triangular fight had
been turned and the monster of the
air, with nose pointed southwark, was
reported speeding along under starry
skies toward Friedrichshafen, where
1t was hoped the journey would end
Wednesday.
The fight to Mayence, however, was
not an uninterrupted one, for some
thing went wrong with a propeller
while speeding along above the valley
OF the Rhine and Count Zeppelin was
compelled to bring the airship down
to the surface of the river at Nackert
helm, eight miles from Mayence,
where repairs were effected. The
dirigible again was sent on high and
the trip that probably will prove a
record one was recommended.
The weather for the ascension was
most auspicious! The ship of the air
rose majestically to height of 400
feet and crossing the lake circled the
town of Constance, then turning, re-
traced the path of its flight and, de-
scribing perfect circle, passed over
Friedrichshafen and then scared west
ward over the lake to Basle, on the
Swiss frontier. Turning the vessel
slightly toward the northwest, Count
Zeppelin steered it over Mulhausen
and then directed its fight northwest
erly to Strassburg, thence following
the valley of the Rhine northward, to
Mayence, distance altogether of over
$50 miles.

SULTAN is STABBED

Geneva, Switzerland, Aug. 5.-The
Sultan of Turkey was stabbed in the
breast in his private apartments at

otherwise would have entered the

believed the gold was his recompense

AS TO new CABINET
FEW CHANGES WILL BE MADE
IF TAFT IS ELECTED.
Should Bryan Be Successful How
ever, An Interesting Field For
Speculation Would Be Opened
Up For Politicians.

United Press Disnatch.
Washington, D.. G., Aug. 5.-Wash-
ington political wiseacres are already
busily engaged in arranging cabinets
for Judge Taft and Colonel Bryan.
|Scores of representations are being
made of the probable lineup and bat
lting order of the distinguished men
Iwho will be calT,, tn aet-as .affll .affl' - Z =
advisers of the next occupant of tn,
White House.
In case of the election of Taft. 1t is
generally agreed that there will be
few vital changes. Elihu Root is
slated to retain the state portfolio as
long as he wants it, provided, of
course, that the republicans continue
| in control. George Won l.. Meyer,pos
master general in Roosevelt's cabinet,
will likely be advanced to the treasury
Isecretaryship. General Luke Wright
lis certain to remain as head of the
war department under the Taft re-
lgime. Frank b. Kellogg, it is thought,
will be selected to succeed Attorney
General Bonaparte, while Frank H.
Hitchcock will be awarded with the
office of postmaster general. James
Wilson, the perpetual secretary of
agriculture, will not be disturbed, and
James A. Garfield will continue as sec
retary of the interior. Whether Met
calf will be retained as secretary of
the navy and Straus as the secretary
of commerce and labor is a matter of
disagreement, some of the wiseacres
declaring that they will have to make
way for some of Taft's more indus
trious workers.
Doping out Bryan cabinet is, of
course, more interesting, since it al
lows a wider latitude of choice and
presents more elements of uncertain
ty. At the head of the list. as secre-
tary of state, most of the wise ones
place Judson Harmon. of Ohio. A
few think that Judge George Gray of
Delaware, would be chosen for this
important portfolio, but this is not
considered probable by those acquaint-
ed with just the degree of friendship
existing between the Nebraskan and
the Delaware jurist. The Bryan cab
met, it is thought, would be largely
composed of westerners, with only two
or three eastern and southern men in
cluded.
It is likely, in the event that Bryan
is elected, that his cabinet will be
substantially as follows:
Secretary of State-Judson Har-
mon, of Ohio.
Secretary Of the Treasury-John A.
johnson, of Minnesota.
Secretary of War-George Turner,
|of Washington.
Attorney General--William J. Gay
nor, of New York.
Postmaster General-Henry Delay
ton, of Alabama.
Secretary of the Navy--Theodore
A. Bell, of California.
Secretary of the Interior-Thomas
M. Patterson, of Colorado.
Secretary of Agriculture - Clark
Howell, of Georgia.
Secretary of Commerce and Labor

Vancouver, B. c., Aug. 5.-The ter
ribly destructive forest fires which
have swept through the Crows Nest
district of the Elk river valley in
British Columbia since last Saturday,
devastating a vast stretch Of territory,
destroying many lives and millions OF
dollars of property, wiping out entire
towns and rendering thousands of per
sons homeless, are still raging, but
are now sweeping wild and sparsely
settled country, and It is believed the
worst is over.
It is impossible at this time to
arrive at summary of the situation
as regards loss Of life and property
with even approximate correctness, so
widespread has been the destruction
and so scattered are the people who
lived in the burned area of more than
so miles in length and three miles in
width Stories of missing settlers are
coming from Fernie, Cranbrook,
Michel, Hosmer and other places, but
many Of these have turned up at some
point far from their original habita-
tion and it is not believed the death
list will exceed so.
Property Loss Very Great.
The property loss has been very
great, but this, too, is difficult to esti-

valuation would probably place the
amount at $6,000,00O and $1,000, 900.
