CAREER NAMED BY
 ALTMAN AS TRUSTEE

l. The Providence Oil and Gas company was again victor in the contested stock litigation with J. V. Allen and others when John w. Altman, register in chan= cery yesterday announced his decision to appoint a trustee to receive con- tested stock, as requested in an appli- cation made by the company Monday Attorney J. B. Garber was named to act as trustee.
 The arguments pro an con have been heard by the register since Monday and were concluded Wednesday. Well known attorneys represented the com pany petitioning for the appointment of trustee and the stockholders who op- posed the appointment as unjust.
 The failure of Register Altman to appoint trustee would have had the same effect as would the granting of an injunction restraining the Prov idence Oil and Gas company from dis posing of the stock which Allen and the other stockholders surrendered to Trustee Turner B. Weakley. The ap- pointment of the trustee thus means second victory for the company in the legal fight.

TO NOMINATE MAN
 FOR CIRCUIT JUDGE

It is now well understood that the state committee, which meets fin Montgomery next Tuesday. will nominate candidate for circuit judge in the Second judicial circuit to take the place on the ticket of the name of Judge Richardson, who was killed recently in an automobile accident.
 A neat legal point has been raised ana it is sure to cause a fight for the oHlce in the courts Both Judge Jones ana Gregory Smith, who are good authorities, claim that the governors appointee Will hold over to the next general election, four years hence, while Tyler Goodwin, chairman of the committee, and Attorney General Alex Garber claim that the gov ernors appointee will go out of office at the end of Judge Richardson's present term, January 1. 1911 constitutional provision is involved and it is probable that whoever gets the office will have fight on his hands to hold it.
 A E. Gamble of Greenville is now the most popular man for the nomination by the committee. Governor Conner Will make his appointment tomorrow. It is thought that Dempsey Powell. who was mentioned, does not want the position.

DIR. ABERCROMBIE
Fellow the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh Says Drugs Have Been Called By Philosophers the Art of
 Conjecturing the Science of Guessing"

He said during his recent address before the medical congress of the world, Don't try to fool nature. Few people realize the danger in drugs un
 til their health Is gone or their nerves and vitals wrecked by poisonous mix lures. Then you can realize how use less it is to try to fool nature with stimulants, narcotics and poison.
 The ostrich hides It's head and thinks he is out of all danger of the hunters rife Some people do things just as absurd. They cover up the symptoms of disease and imagine they are cured Just as soon as they stop using the drug the trouble returns worse than ever. You must remove the cause be- fore you can cure an ailment. If you have a splinter in the hand the only way to get rid of the pain and in fiammation Is to get the splinter out. cocaine and relieve all pain for a while. but that wouldn't remove the Aplinter. The reason for nearly every chronic disease is a want of vitality or nourishment by some part of the body machinery. w. J. Brown went to the experts and was put on electro radio, the new treatment. He had just finished taking five bottles of poison ous drugs he got from his family doc tor for chronic kidney trouble and
 A umatism. Of course the patient did not know the nature of the remedy he had been taking until the contents were analysed. The mixture containe ed morphine, potash and alcohol in large quantities. He then realized why he became nervous, debilitated and weak, why his stomach went back on him and his food wouldn't digest. He real ized also If he had continued the use of these poisons much long sr he would have become drug slave just as

thousands of others. have done. That's the way all drugs work; they will stop pain by putting break on 1t and your hearts action, but 1t comes back in few hours; the trouble is still there. Now this man took cleo tro radio. Alter three treatments all pain had gone and in another three treatments he reported himself sound and well. How did electro radio do this? By removing the cause and giv- ing nature the power to cure; the rheumatism was caused by the kidney trouble and the cause of the kidney trouble was lack of strength in these organs. With that force re- stored, the life and activity of the kid neys were renewed, enabling them to cleanse the blood of uric acid and other poisons. So many people. upon finding themselves ailing, make a hur- ried trip to the doctor-to get pre- scription. Those people imagine that health is sold by the bottle and all that is necessary is to take some kind of medicine.
 When you pay for drug prcscrfr- ton you pay for lot of nonsense. that order may be for cents worth of dope, yet you are none the wiser. You don't Know what you arc getting and the man can charge you as much as he thinks you will pay He can then divide with the doctor. When electro radio takes your case it is ap honest, straightforward cure they will give you and guarantee to forfeit S1OO for every case they accept and fail to cure. The day of experiment Is d thing of the past with them; they treat nothing unless it comes in their line and that they are suie of curing.

tics. There are two prime articles in my faith. I stand for justice for the rich man and the poor man alike and for the punishment of wrong wherever or by whomsoever done.
 If the corporation does wrong, I will punish it, If I have the power to do SO.
 If the poor man does wrong, I will stand back of the law to see that he gets his deserts.
 T do not distinguish between the man of wealth and the man of poverty, so long as both are law-abding citizens, clean men and working for clean govern- ment."
 The high wind prevented half of the crowd from hearing what the Ex-Pres- dent was saying so he turned his back on those he had just addressed and re- peated his words.
 Then again escorted by Chief Kohler he elbowed his way to the vestibule of his car.
 A portion of the crowd followed and de- manded another speech.
 ''I spoke to most of you over there, said the colonel waving his hand toward the spot he had just vacated.
 DO 1t again." suggested voice in the crowd.
 Ut wouldn't hurt, would it?" returned the Colonel, so he went over his speech once more.
 Someone asked the speaker what he though of James R. Garfield, who re- gently led the Ohio insurgents to defeat at the state republican convention. A progressive cried out, He's all right
 Sure" repeated Colonel Roosevelt, He's all right
 The crowd found the conversation en- joyable. .r :.
 What do you think of Kohler?' a tall man asked. The colonel turned and smote the chief on the shoulder Hes an old friend Of mine" he rejoined.
 After posing for photographers the col onel retired into his car.

Political Creed Outlined

c,eve,and O.. August 25.-Colonel poosevelt outlined his political creed In three speeches which he crowded into snaca of 15 minutes today. 'There are tro nrime articles in my faith,' he said. "I stand for justice for the rich man and the poor man alike. And TOT the punishment of wrong, wherever ana py whomsoever done.
 Colonel Roosevelt arrived here at 10:45, it being the last stop in ms cross ohio iounnev. he having already addressed crowds at Ashtabula and Conneaut. At n .a5 his train left for Toledo, where 1o--,;nute stop will be made.

 Harmonious Action
 Such harmonious action at the Sara toga convention is necessary to sue ceed at the polls can only be secured by the cooperation of all republicans. know of no party principle upon which we are at present divided in this state except that involved in the proposal to abolish the convention system of making nominations and to substitute therefor the direct nominations plan, which has been characterized as the device of the demagogue and the millionaire.'
 Upon that question at the Saratoga convention there will doubtless be di- vision. It is right and proper that the attitude of the party on this matter should be clearly defined without equivo- cation or misunderstanding, that the vo- ters may know exactly where the party stands. The spirit that is behind this agitation for direct primary nominations Is far more dangerous than anything that the proposition itself embodies. The rad- realism which in this state is directed against the representative system of nom mating by convention will, if given it's head, next menace the stability of in- dustry and frighten enterprise.
 "I am glad to know that MT. Roose- welt intends to go to the Saratoga con vention and present his Ideas on this and other subjects. The importance of this convention will thereby be greatly enhanced and the superiority of the con venton system to the direct nomination method demonstrated
 "On the part of myself and the other regulars there is no personal warfare in- volved in this matter, nor has there been. Our interest lies where it always has in the success of the party when it's pro gressiveness does not violate it's tradi- tions. I assume that the opposition has the same interests at heart
 Beyond his formal statement MT Wood- ruff was not anxious to talk. His only comment on Colonel Roosevelts speech at the Ellicott club in Buffalo this morn- ing was this
 "Colonel Roosevelt is no more anxious to get the crooks out of the party than am. I guess we're all agreed on that.

short stou in Chicago

Chicago, August 25.-Colonel Roosevelt avoided any formal reception during stay of a little more than an hour here tonight, but instead spent half an hour as the guest of the newspaper reporters at the Chicago newspaper club The rest of the time he spent in an automobile ride about the city.
 At the Newspaper club Colonel Roose- welt commented on the failure of either a lion or rhinoceros to prevent his safe return from Africa. recalling a prediction offered by Prof. Frederick Starr of the University of Chicago that the hunting trip would be the death of the former President q am especially glad to show this professor how wrong he was" said Colonel Roosevelt. T wasn't the one who was killed. No lion did l fear. And then on toward the end of the trip l think Wall street pinned it's hope on some rhnoceros, but even that hope failed"
