TWO GOOD REMEDIES
Working Well Together, Produce
Marvellous Results.
Hoods Sarsaparilla and Pepttron
Pills a. . Course Of Treatment

For instance, Hoods Sarsaparilla,
the standard blood purifier, is recon-
mended for conditions that are scrof-
ulous or dependent on impure blood.
Peptiron Pills, the new iron tonic,
are especially recommended for con-
ditions that are anemic and nervous.
Many persons suffer from combi-
nation Of these conditions. They are
afflicted with swellings Of the glands,
punches In the neck, eruptions, and
sores on the body, limbs and face,
and are besides pale and nervous.
If these patients take both Hoods
Sarsaparilla and Peptiron Pills they
are reasonably sure to derive four
fold benefit. These two great medi-
zines supplement each other, and the
use Of both, even in cases where only
one may appear to be indicated, is OF
great advantage. Get them from
your druggist.

Friday BY Sheriff silshy and Deputy
Sheriff Macombsr, charged with SHOOTING
Gus Meme, another Finn, Thursday
night. The wounded man IL now ip ths
Bangor hospital with 4 bullet In his
shoulder. The wound II not considered
serious.
Stories Of the shooting differ, and owing
to the ina biiity of the principals and wit
nesses to talk English, and the clsnniah-
ness Of the Firms, who refuse to help the
oficials In their investigations, the real
story Is hard to obtain. II is understood
that even the wounded man does mot wish
to appear against his assailant.
As near ~ can be learned, Meme and
two other Firms had been at vhe Aho place
Thursday evening, leaving late In the
evening when Aho ordered them away.
One story OF the trouble 10 that Meme in
suited Aho's daughter. Aho says he found
Meme lettering about his stable, and
believes he intended to steal his horse.
Aho was brought to Ellsworth by the
officers Friday, and Is still confined In the
county Jail. He was arraigned before
Judge Mason, OF the Ellsworth municipal
court Saturday, and the hearing was con-
tinoed until Monday. Monday there was
further continuance, until the condition
Of the wounded man would permi. him to

Evening star., 1916-06-08

John F. Costello. democratic national
committeeman from the District of
Columbia, was today nominated by
President Wilson to be recorder Of
deeds of the District.
The nomination will cause wide
spread interest. not only because the
President thereby declined to appoint
negro, following a custom inaugurated
by Grover Cleveland, and continued by
every administration since, but also be-
cause the nomination is just in advance
of the District appropriation bill. which
carries a provision that the District
Commissioners shall appoint the
recorder of deeds.
The Office of recorder of deeds has
been vacant for two years. the Presi-
dent having obtained the resignation
of the last negro occupant of the office.
H. L. Johnson. a Georgia republican.
For a long time after the resignation
of Johnson it was generally taken for
granted that another colored man
would be named for the place, and the
names of several democratic leaders in
different parts of the country were laid
before the President by Bishop Walters
of the A. M +. Church. recognized by
the President as the spokesman of col
ored democrats.

The President had promised Bisbo,

appoint a colored man.

494 Votes Necessary
for G. 0. P. Nomination

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CHICAGO, June g.
There will be es7 votes in
the republican national con-
vention, making 4e4 neces-
sary to a choice of candi-
dates for President and Vice
President.
The change from the pre-
viously announced figures
results from the fact that the
District of Columbia, en-
titled under the call to two
votes, was denied represen-
tation, and that Hawaii,
Porto Rico and the Philip
pines were granted two
votes each. This would
have brought the total roll
up to o8e, but Porto Rico
failed to send delegates to
the convention.
The call issued for the
convention by the national
committee fixed the repre-
sentation of the three insu-
lar possessions at two dele
gates each, but left the ques-
ton as to whether they
should be seated to be de-
cided by the convention.

CHICAGO, June s-A rumor circulated
last night that Justice Hughes had sent
word to the Hughes campaign managers
that he woaIld not accept the republican
nomination unless it comes from a united
party was revived today. 1t was denied
by Frank H. Hitchcock and others at
Hughes headquarters.
The favorite son combination and
Roosevelt supporters were greatly inter
ested in the report and naturally took no
steps to counteract it.

1t was said today by those in charge
of the Hughes forces that former Senator
Fulton of Oregon will be floor leader in
the convention for Hughes He will also
make the speech seconding the justice
1t seems certain that New York will
be the first to place candidates in nom

Whether i, Will be Alabama or Arizona
that will yield is not settled.
If New York is recognized. there may
be some conflict to whether the
name of Justice Hughes or that of for
mer Senator Root will be first pre-
sented The delegation itself will de-
eide this question, but both of New
York's sons. Will be placed. before the
convention before another state is
called. .

candidacy and put it over but, fall

tions for a progressive candidate.
