that appointments for Sout-- IeElctse

there would not likely be anything
doing in that line for some time, as
the appointive powers at Washington
are demanding a clearing up OF the To-

that when the real showing is made
there will be very little show in for

legislature from 1872 till 1900. He was a
practicing physician, and a good one, before
that. He has done a good deal, but then,
you sec, be got very early start, being born
up in Ontario way back in 1887.
EX-United States Senator Thomas kearns

in that state, also was born in Ontario. United
