CATARRH
Catarrh has become such a common
disease that a person entirely free from
this disgusting complaint is seldom met
with. It is customary to speak of Catarrh
as nothing more serious than a bad cold,
a simple inflammation of the nose and
throat. It is, in fact, a complicated and
very dangerous disease if not at first, it
very soon becomes so.
The blood is quickly contaminated by
the fool secretions, and the poison through
the general circulation is carried to all
parts of the system.
Salves, washes and sprays are unsatis
factory and disappointing, because they do
not reach the seat of the trouble. S. S. 8.

European Countries Are Denying
That They Proposed to In
terfere in Spanish War.
Statement Made In English Par
liament Causes Uneasiness
in Germany.
Foreign Office at Berlin Says It
Maintained a Passive
Altitude.
Vienna, Jan. 2,2.—Inquiries made by
the Associated Press at the Austria
Hungarian foreign office confirm the es
sential points of the statement made by
Lord Cranborne, tl^e British foreign un
der secretary, In th& house of commons,
Monday. The dynastic relations of
Austria with Spain, the queen regent
being an archduchess of Austria, led
Austria before the declaration of war
between Spain aiiJ the United States to
begin a peace propaganda, which was
carried on not only in England, but
thruout Europe. France was ready to
second the effort* of Austria, but Ger
many and Russia maintained a passive
altitude. Great Britain was at first dis
posed to sign the proposed note, but af
ter a confidential report from Washing
ton, declined either to. sign such a note
as the Austrian ambassador proposed or
to take any further steps. Afterwards
Austria and Frarnce made direct repre
sentations at Washington, but ceased
their efforts after the declaration of
war, from that time forth relying on the
efforts of the pope, who was backed by
the tacit approval of all the powers
Berlin, Jan. 22.—The foreign office de
nies that Germany desired or associated
itself with any other government that
may have sought to bring about Euro
pean Intervention in the Spanl^i-Amer
ican war. The correspondent of the As
sociated Press communicated to the
German foreign office the statement
which emanated Irom the British for
eign office to the effect that Germany,
France and Russia had supported the
Austrian ambassador at London in his
attempt to induce Great Britain to sign
a collective note addressed to the Unit
ed States, proposing action by the Euro
pean states, In view of the outbreak or
expected outbreak of the late war be
tween the United States and Spain. La
ter In the day the following statement
was handed, to the correspondent of the
Associated Press:
The foreign office declares, with all
posltiveness, that Germany, neither be
fore the outbreak of the Spaniel war
nor during its course, proposed inter
vention to other powers. Neither did
Germany support such a proposition
made by other powers. It is true that
In several instances suggestions (anre
gungen) were made to the German gov
ernment from another source, In the
sense of intervention. But the German
government, without exception, main
tained a negative attitude toward such
suggestions, and made known its nega
tive standpoint whenever occasion of
fered. It must further be remarked
that it was not from an Auptrlan source
(nlcht gerade von Oesterrelchlscher
selte) that such suggestions reached the
German government."
Some annoyance has been expressed
In official circles here that the Brltlph
under secretary of foreign affairs, Lord
CrAnbone. and the foreign office at this
moment should make statements tend
ing to discourage the growing good
feeling between Germany and the Unit
ed States, and seemingly designed to
spoil tho pleasant prospect of the visit
to the United States of Admiral Prince
Henry of Prussia. The Interpellation In
the British house of commons, to which
Lord Cranborne replied, is here consid
ered to have been gotten up especially
to give the opportunity of saying some
thing In parliament which might be ta
ken as a basis for reviving stories ad
verse to Germany in the mntter of Ger
man relations with the United States.
A telegraphic report of. Lord Cran
borne's statement In reply to the Inter
pellation of Henry Norman, M. P., was
distributed to the German newspapers
by the news agencies early In the day,
yet none of the Berlin evening papers,
with the exception of the North German
Gazette, printed It. The North German
Gazette does not comment upon Lord
Cranborne's statement. This suppres
sion of what, at another time, would be
regarded as news, Is taken to mean that
the German press Is determined not to
revive unpleasant discussions at an in
opportune moment.
PLAN ATTACK ON PANAMA.
Eight
Insurgent Force Said to Be
Miles From the City.
Panama, Jan. 22.—An Insurgent force
Is at Los Llanos, eight miles from the
city, and it is believed- an. attack on
the town is contemplated. Acording to
passengers who arrived yesterday
from Colon a number of refoels were met
at Gordono station-.
Arjona, the civil governor, has taken
over the command of the city, succeed
ing General Alban, who was killed.
Arjona has 1,000 men and Is
prepared to make a vigorous resistance
should the city be attacked.
A spy sent by the revolutionary Gen
eral Bellsario Porras, was captured
here. Papers were found upon him
which compromise certain Important
liberals.
REBEL FLEET WITHDRAWS.
The rebel fleet has withdrawn, having
accomplished its main purpose, the des

Meat Inspection Will Continue.
Washington, D. C., Jan. 22.—'There will
be no Interruption of the microscopical
Inspection of meat intended for the ex
port trade If Secretary Wilson's wishes
are regarded by congress. The meat
interests of the country have been some
what disturbed because these inspec
tions will be suspended on March 1, un
less an additional appropriation is au
thorized by congress.
Secretary Wilson, In a communication
to congress, declares it will be impossi
ble to provide for these inspections after
March 1 with his present futid, and he
recommends an appropriation of $40,000.
In his communication to congress he
says:
"The Indirect effects of the temporary
suspension of these inspections will be
much more damaging to the American,
meat interests than the mere lpss of the
continental export trade for a few
months. The stopping of the inspection
will result in breaking commercial con-
rectlons and creating a bad impression
In' the countries to which our products
ere sent."'
Atj the beginning of the year Secretary
"Wllgon had enough money to conduct
these inspections, but It Was expended
because of the necessity fOs maintaining
an inspector In Great Britain for the ex
animation of pure breed cattle Intended
for importation into the United States
the work involved in the effort to con
trol a contagious disease among the
horses of the northwest, the extension
of the meat Inspection and of the in
spectlon of sheep.
The increase in the expense for micro
tcopic inspection amounted to $2,300, and
for the inspection of dairy products $1,
000 a month. The matter has been pre
sented to congress In such a forcible way
ty the secretary of agriculture that
there Is no doubt the appropriation will
be made, and there will be no suspension
of the inspection.
SCHLEY AND SANTIAGO.
New Book on the Subject Published
at Chicago.
Chicago, Jan. 22.—The first copy of
"Schley and Santiago" left the presseB
of the W. B. Conkey Company yester
day. The book contains many striking
historical events, Including fac similes
of autograph letters. The following
letter bearing the admiral's signature
and dated Hotel Richmond, Washing
ton. D. C., Jan. 1, 1902, referring to the
author, says:
"Mr. Graham served with me on the
Brooklyn from the beginning to the
end of the campaign against Cervera's
fleet. He was In a position in the open
to know the facts of all the operations
against it, and' has given them1 as he
saw them. The personal views and
criticisms of the author I do not en
dorse,' tho the facts of the story of the
movements and operations of the flying
squadron, as he tells them In the book,
are correct, as far as I can remember.
"W. S. SCHLEY."
"Rear Admiral, U. S. N."
The publishers will send- to President
Roosevelt a copy of the edition de luxe,
and within a few day* will start a spe
cial messenger to Europe, where he will
first deliver to the American ambassa
dor in London two copies of the book,
one of them to be presented1 to King
Edward VII. As claimed by the author
and publishers, it will be the first pre
sentation of the official history of the
naval campaign of the flying squadron
from the time it left Hampton roads
until the end. The messenger will de
liver copies to the representatives of
the United States in other foreign
countries and to the command*rs-in
chief of their navies. It Is also the
purpose to present Sir Thomas Lipton

EDMUND JAMES CHOSEN.
la
of
Unanimously Elected President
Northwestern University.
Chicago, Jan. 22.—Professor Edmund
J. James was unanimously elected presi
dent of Northwestern University at a
meeting of the board of trustees held
yesterday afternoon. He will immedi
ately resign his position as professor of
public administration and director of the
university extension division at the Uni
versity of Chicago, and will enter upon
his new and larger duties about Feb. 1.
The election of Professor James ends
the quest for a president that has en
gaged the attention of Northwestern
University for two years, since the res
ignation of Dr. Henry Wade Rogers.
During that time Dr. Daniel Bonbrlght
has been serving as temporary head of
the institution. Altho along list of can
didates has been proposed from time to
time, the committee having charge of
the matter of securing a president has
never been able to agree upon any of the
educators suggested, and no offer of the
presidency was ever made to any one
until it was tendered to Professor James.
The committee was unanimous in fa
vor of his selection, and upon its report
to that effect to the board of trustees
his election was carried without a dis
senting vote. He Is to receive $7,500 a
year, which is an advance of $2,500 over
the amount paid his predecessor.
FRICK PLANS $5,000,000 HOTEL.
Pittsburg Expects to Have Finest Es
tablishment in the Country.
Pittsburg, Jan. 22.—Plans have been
drawn for a new hotel in this city which
will surpass any other In the country. It
will be crected by Henry C. Frlck, the
steel magnate, at Sixth avenue and
Grant street, and Inclusive of the ground
will represent an Investment of about
$£.000,000. D. H. Burnham, of Chicago,
who designed the new union depot and
the Frlck building, has drawn up a
sketch of the interior, which has been
submitted to Mr. Frick and has met
with his approval.
8ome Hopes for Canal Bill.
Washington, D. C., Jan. 22.—Senator
Aldrlch, the party manager for the re
publicans on the floor of the senate, was
In his seat yesterday for the first time
since the holiday recess. He conferred
with Various influential senators and
representatives, Including Senator Alli
son, who returned' yesterday, and pre
liminary steps were taken for getting to
gether upon a legislative program for
the session.
Mr. Allison shortly will appoint a
steering committee, authorized some
time ago by the republican caucus. In
the meantime matters will drift, the
Philippine tariff bill being the order of
business. After looking the ground over
Senator Aldrlch said yesterday:
"In my Judgment the senate will insist
upon a canal within a reasonable time,
and after a full examination of both
routes will proceed to act at this session
upon the principle that a canal should be
authorized before we adjourn."
This expresses the opinion of the lead
ers and of congress generally that all at
tempt to prevent legislative action at
this session by playing off the Panama
route against the Nicaragua route, or
vice versa, ought to fail. This opinion
has not abated since It was first formed
before the recess, and It has not, been
materially affected by the supplemen
tary report of the isthmian commission.
The report has, of course added the
veight of the expert authority of the
commission to the argument in favor of
the Panama route. That it shall result,
however, in such delays- as might ac
company any effort of congress to de
cide definitely between the two routes
is entirely foreign to the present pur
pose .of,
the leaders.

Sensation Develops in the Tria
of Mrs. Richardson for
Murder.
Theory of the State is That
Stewart Fife Planned the
Crime.
Wife Conspired With Fife an
Actually Committed the
Murder.
St. Joseph, Mo., Jan. 22.—The trial of
Mrs. Addle L. Richardson at Plattsburg
had proceeded but a short time yester
day when a sensation was" sprung by
Prosecuting Attorney Booher, who ask
ed Witness J. G. Ellis, who lived near
the Richardson home at the time of the
murder of Frank W. Richardson'In Sa
vannah on Dec. 24, 1900:
"Did yod ever see Mrs. Richardson
and Stewart Fife together?"
The defense objected vigorously and
the Jury was excused while the point
was being argued. It was claimed that
Stewart Fife was not on trial and should
not be brought into the case at all
Judge Burns stated that he would irule
upon the objections of Mrs. Rich^rdf*
son's attorneys today.
It is evident that the theory of the
state is that Stewart Fife and, Mrs
Richardson connived to kill Richardson
The state is attempting to prove Mrs.
Richardson is the murderer of her hus
band and also that she is guilty of be
lng an accessory. This, too, Is objected
to by the attorneys for the defendant,
who assert that the state should elect
on which theory it will try the case,
In his statement to the Jury Prosecut
ing Attorney Booher, after reciting the
preparations that had been made by the
Richard sons to attend the Christmas en
tertainment and of Mrs. Richardson's
notifying her husband by telephone that
she had concluded not to go, said:
One of the children went to the store,
and Mr. Richardson asked about the
mother. He whispered to the child, and
what he said only the child knows. He
waited on a customer and put on his
coat. The man In the store at that time
wanted to see Mr. Richardson on busi
ness, followed him out, and crossed the
•jquare, put his hand on his shpulder,
and spoke to him, but Richardson said
he was going across the street and
would be back in a minute.
'He was seen by R. A. Morris going
up the stone steps at the railroad
tracks. Mr. Morris followed him. At
Mrs. Berryhlll's corner, a block from
tho Richardson home, he heard a shot
He could not tell where it was. He ?n
ly knew the general direction, went
home and eat down-, and twenty or
thirty minutes after he had hea»rd the
shot he heard that Frank W. Richard
son was killed'.
When Richardson left the store It
was ten minutes before 9 o'clock. Ten
minutes later the news came back there
that he was dead. An arc light is I# the
street- at the corner of Christian .ridge
and Market street. The light from it
shone Into the Richardson hallway and
the south room. The light was turned
on that night. When the police arrived
at the Richardson house they found
Mr. Richardson dead, with his head in
the hallway. The evidence will show
there was a spot of blood Inside the
room. His cigar was in the room. So
far as the state knows now only one
person was in the room at the time
Richardson was killed. That person
was the defendant.
The state will show as a motive, for
this that the defendant was unduly in
fatuated with a young man who was a
"clerk in that store. It will show that
Richard«n remonstrated with her time
after time. This clerk left the store at
7 o'clock that evening *nd was seen at
King's corner, two blocks from .the
Richardson home, later. He was the
first seen after the murder by a man
In W. B. Limerick's drug store walking
west with his overcoat on his arm. This
man saw him coming in the direction of
the alley by Philips' livery barn."
Mrs. Kerr, next door neighbor of the
Rlchardsons, to whose house Mrs. Rich
ardson went to telephone before an$ af
ter the killing, testified that she heard
a peculiar sound, after which she heard
the sound of buggy wheels driving
away. Altho Mrs. Kerr was subponaed
by the state, she proved a strong wit
ness for the defense. Her testimony
had a tendency to revive one of the
earliest theories advanced, that Rich
ardson was shot by some one who drove
away in a vehicle.
Mr. Crowley was told of going with
Richardson from his home early in the
evening to Richardson's store. The
children had gone to the entertainment
and Mrs. Richardson remained alone.
He was at the house after the murder
and said Mrs. Richardson was pros
trated. He told of making an examina
tion of the premises and of discovering
fresh buggy tracks in the snow.
M. E. Brown, a clerk In Richardson's
store, told of Mrs. Richardson telephon
ing that Crowley had left his gloves at
the house and that she would bring
them to the store.
FJTZ FELL DOWN STAIRS.
Former Pugilist Meets With a Serious
Acoident in a Theater.
New York, Jan. 22.—Former Cham
pion Bob Fltzsimmons met with a
painful accident yesterday morning,
and but for the fact that the lanky pug
ilist kept his head a tragedy might have
resulted. At 9 o'clock Fitz called, at the
Orpheum theater, Brooklyn, to see
Percy Williams, the owner. WiMams
is the Cornishman's backer and. friend
and has been piloting his business af
fairs since Fitz fell out with his broth
er-in-law, Martin Julian, about two
years ago.
It was Fitz's intention to talk to Will
iams relative to having the latter fur
nish a side bet and other backing for
another mill with Jeffries. It is under
stood that Williams put up all the
money when Bob met the boilermaker
at Coney Island. After waiting a few
minutes Williams put in an appearance.
Then the two adjourned to Williams'
private office, where they conversed for
while.
Upon leaving the office the4 boxer
missed his footing and slid' down a
flight of stairs to the ratnskellar. These
teps are made of marble and there are
twenty of them. The theater was daTk
when Fitz left his manager's office. He
had gone onlyi a few paces when he
stumbled and plunged down the stairs,
He was dazed and' stunned, but recov

Williams' office.
ST. LOUI8 MILITARY EXHIBIT.
Gen. Carr Favors Establishment of
Camp of Regulars.
St. Louis, Jan. 22.—The officials of the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition secured
the co-operation of many United States
army officers in outlining plans for im
posing military features in connection
with the exposition. Among others Brig.
Gen. Eugene A. Carr, retired, has sub
mitted some Interesting and valuable
tuggestions, and It Is likely that he will
be placed in charge of the military ex
hibit. He fevors the establishment at
the fair grounds of a camp of troops,
and the installation in a special building
of military appliances. The government,
he believes, woulI detail a brigade com
posed of two regiments of Infantry, a
squadron of cavalry and a battery of
artillery, each command to remain a
fortnight, so that the larger portion of
the army would visit the exposition dur
ing the six months of its duration.
ENGINEER SAVES LIVES.
Averts Accident to Train Bearing Lord
and Lady Lennox and Host.
Salt Lake, Utah, Jan. 22.—Engineer
Rooney, of the Denver & Rlo Grande,
saved the lives of a notable party yes
terday at Gunnison, Col., by sticking to
his engine as the special train bearing
former Senator Wolcott and Lord and
Lady Lennox ran into an open switch.
The special was bowling along at over
forty miles an hour when entering the
Gunnison yards. Rooney caw where a
careless yardman had left the ice house
switch turned for the main line. Rooney
Jumped down the emergency brake, ap
plied sand and reverse*!.
He stuck heroically to his post as the
engine and train sped over a vacant
space of a hundred yards. No one "suf
fered more than a shaking up, but
Rooney's conduct averted a serious acci
dent.
HIGHWAYMEN ROB BOY.
Messenger of Chicago Firm Set Upon

Chicago, Jan. 22.—Edmund Luettege, a
14-year-old employe of the Meyercord
Company of Austin, was robbed of $348
in currency and a $50 certified check
while carrying the pay of. sixty em
ployes to the company's factory. The
robbery, which occurred within the
shadow of the building, was tbe work of
three men, who then Jumped Into a bug
gy, drove toward Chicago, and escaped.
It has been the custom of the Meyer
cord Company to send a boy to the Chi
cago offices at 409 and 410 Chamber of
Commerce building, each week to secure
the pay envelopes. For several months
Edmund Luettege, who lives at 748

KANSA8 COMMANDER OUSTED.
Grand Army Committee Sustains the
Charges Against Norton.
Topeka, Kas., Jan. 22.—The executive
committee of the Kansas G. A. R. last
night ordered Martin Norton, the de

fice at once. The committee has been in
session investigating charges preferred
against Norton, and sustained them in
every particular.
Ann Arbor Takes Precautions.
Ann Arbor, Mich., Jan. 22.—Every pre
caution has been taken at the university
to prevent any spread of smallpox. The
case of Freeman Campbell.the freshman
dental student, has been turned over to
Professor Arnell, and he is not yet ready
to pronounce It smallpox, altho physi
cians diagnosed it as such. However,
every freshman dental student has been
vaccinated, and the names of those
coming In the same house with Camp
bell have been published.
More Pay for Carriers.
Washington, D. C., Jan. 22.—Repre
sentative McCleary yesterday intro
duced a bill providing for the increase
of the pay of the fural free delivery
carriers. At present they receive $500
per year. The measure presented by
Mr. McCleary proposes that after July
the pay of the carriers who have
served one year shall be $600, after
two years, $720. There is a general
demand for this Increase, and it has
the approval of the postofflce depart
ment.
Owing to the fact that the rural freo
delivery carriers are required to main
tain two horses, and as the pay is only
$500 a year, the department has had
considerable difficulty in securing
competent men.
Mr. McCleary says the proposed In
creases are necessary to hold the men
who are now In the service. In his
district subscriptions have been raised
for the relief.of the carriers, who have
found their present salary of $500 In
sufficient to maintain their animals
and vehicles and support their fam
ilies.
The general store of J. H. Douglas at
Shirly, 111., was destroyed by fire Mon
day morning, with a loss of $60,000 The
postofflce is located In the building, but
the mail was saved.

Curtis Bill For Government of
Indian Territory May
Change Plans.
No Strong Opposition to the Ad
mission of Oklahoma and
New Mexico.
Washington, Jan. 22.—Congressman
Curtis appeared before the sub-commit
tce of the house committee on territories
to argue the adoption of '-his
bill providing for a government for the
Indian Territory. The committee has
several measures under consideration.
Mr. Moon, of Tennessee, offered the first
bill, which provides for a regular terri
torial form of government for the terri
tory, with a full complement of county
arid township officers. Congressman
Jett, of Illinois, has a bill which provides
for the creation of thirty-eight counties
In the territory, and Delegate Flynn has
a measure providing for the creation of
twenty-three counties, and fixing the
county seats. Mr. Curtis' bill provides
for a governor, who shall be chairman
of the Dawes commission, a secretary of
the territory and a delegate in congress,
all to he paid by the general govern
ment.
The creation of a territorial form of
government for the Indian Territory
would, in the opinion of Mr. Curtis and
others who have studied the situation,
leave it extremely difficult to secure the
annexation of the territory to Oklahoma
for statehood purposes. Mr. Moon and a
•number of democratic leaders In the
house are espousing a territorial form
of government for the Indian Territory,
with a view of final admission of the
territory as a. state.
Mr. Curtis argues that the people of
the territory can not support a terri
torial form of government, with all of
the taxes falling upon the holders of per
sonal property. He also contends that
the form of government provided in his
bill would meet all urgent requirements
of the present, and pave the way, easily
and naturally, for the admission of the
territory as a part of the state of Okla
homa at the proper time.
The committee on territories will, It Is
understood, make a prompt report upon
all of the statehood bills as soon as the
public hearings have been concluded.
The sentiment of the committee Is al
most unanimously In favor of statehood
for Oklahoma and New Mexico, with a
majority of the committee in favor of
the admission of Arizona, Delegates
from the three territories, and citizens
who have been working for statehood
legislation, have satisfied themselves
that there will be no strong opposition
to the measures in the house, and that
their early passage by that body Is prac
tically assured. Delegate Flynn stated
yesterday that he had every assurance
that the senate would act favorably up
on Oklahoma's claim for admission.
"There was some opposition among the
senators at the opening of the session,"
said he, "but I believe now that a ma
jority of the members of both house*
will favor my bill, granting separate
statehood to Oklahoma, with a provision
for the annexation of Indian Territory
os rapidly as the counties are organized
and ready for admission."

Modest Womanhood
A becoming modesty keeps many afflicted women from consulting a doctor about female diseases
and the fear of an unnecessary surgical operation keeps many others away. In this way the poor s«f
fering woman who longs for relief but shrinks from seeking it, gives up in despair. But hundreds of
thousands of women in this country to-day, like Mrs. Steele, know that there is no need of giving
up—that there is a positive home cure for female diseases within the reach of every modest woman.
WINE«CARDUI
made life worth living for Mrs. Steele, when the best doctors in Illinois could
an operation from which she recoiled with horror. If you are despondent, suffering female ilb
bearing pain, go to your,druggist and buy a bottle of Wine of Cardui. It will relieve you.
I have been a sufferer every month since I have been a woman and have been treated by the best doctors and
found no relief. The last doctor wanted me to go to the hospital and have my ovaries removed. He said "This
Is the only remedy I can see for you, Mrs. Steele." "No, no, I will not," I said. Then 1 found a Ladles' Birthday
Almanac and this Is the way I found relief and I am not butchered up by the doctor. I don't wait for my woman
friends to see your advertisement, but I go and tell them. I can't speak good enough for this wonderful Wine of
Cardul. I am a strong woman and do all my work and ride my bicycle. I send word to ladle*! hear we suffering
