Cluti'los G. Daws, of Illinois, Ts IVonii-
nentlv Mentioned.
From information gathered from ap¬
plicants for the position who have
talked to the president-elect on the
subject, the Associated Press feelR
warranted in stating that Charles G.
Daws, of Evanston, III., will be ap¬
pointed comptroller of the currency to
succeed James II. Eckels, who has
made a great reputation in that posi¬
tion.
The friends of Mr. Dawes believe he
will fully sustain the high standard of
the office and add national prestige to
the position. Ho is at present a mem¬
ber of the national republican execu¬
tive committee and has achieved great,
success at the bar in Nebraska and in
business circles in Chicago during the
past three years.

court He at Birmingham Friday morning.

the prisoner came into court
and the case was announced Solicitor
Ferguson, who appeared for the state,
stated that the original warrant on
which the prisoner was arrested had
been lost, and that there was no war-
rant to try him on. The solicitor had
drawn up another warrant, but no one
had volunteered to swear to it. He
recalled the law that prevented a so-
licitor from swearing out a warrant.
Deputy Sheriff Waldrop entered the
room at this time and on the question
stated that he had sworn out the orig-
inal warrant. Where it now was lie
did not know. *
Chief Deputy Sheriff Warnock was
called into court to explain matters,
He said the warrant issued before
Judge gia Banks had been taken to Geor-
with the requisition papers and the
inal governor of Georgia had kept the
warrant and issued one of his own
instead. That second warrant was
now in the possession of the court.
Judge Banks remarked that the loss
of the warrant was a very exiraordina-
ry circumstance.
Chief Deputy Warnock suggested
that he could not make the governor
of Georgia “disgorge” papers.
Warnock was instructed to telegraph
the governor at once for the original
warrant issued by Judge Banks. In
the meantime the trial was postponed,

, A special from Canton, O.,
j L.ymau J. Gage, who will be the says: next
secretary Najor of the treasury, arrived at
j j * ^ McKinley's house a few minutes
l,; oro 3 o’clock Thursday afternoon.
‘dent-elect, w nH warmly welcomed by the pres-
j [ with him who for straightway private conference, withdrew
a
which lasted till 6 o’clock.
j The the president-elect treasury had and full his and secretary
a very
j cussed satisfactory talk, in which they die-
I at length the financial and tariff
policies of the next administration and
! considered the problems that would
call for immediate solution by means
! °f Mr. legislation. Gage The president-elect and
are in thorough accord upon
I a " financial, political and economic
Policies.
The demand for Mr. Gage’s appoint-
ment came from nearly every cominer-
c ’ial center in the country, and from
nlen °f Both parties. He is indorsed
n °t only by the business world, but
hy many labor organizations as well,
The direct claim .is made in nearly all
the mass of letters and telegrams
which have reached Major McKinley
respecting Mr. Gage, that the dii'ect
effect of his appointment will be to
hasten and render certain the restora¬
tion of confidence.
It may be safeiy assumed that Major
McKinley has decided at present upon
six men for his cabinet, though he has
not formally tendered a.l of them port-
tonos. Ihe men who are regarded as
certain of appointment are John Slier-
man, Lyman J. Gage, Nathan Goff,
Joseph McKenna John D. Dong and
James Wilson, of Iowa, for secretary
of agriculture
General R. A. Alger s appointment
as secretary of war is probable but by
no means certain. I he one remaining
portfolio which is not likely to be ten-
dered before the middle or last of I< eb-
nary, will doubtless go to a New
Yorker or a Pennsylvanian.
Mr. Gage authorized the United As¬
sociated Press to say:
“I have been tendered the appoint¬
ment of secretary of the treasury by
Major McKinley and have accepted it.”
Among Major McKinley’s callers
Thursday B. were four colored bishops—
W. Arnett, Ohio; W. J. Gaines,

A Fifty-two Years’ Case.
“Tetterink is the only remedy I ever sold
that would make a permanent cure of tetter. I
sold it to a .person who had tetter on his hemd for
fifty-two years, and two boxes cured him.”

The readers of this paper will be pleased to
learn that there is at least one dreaded disease
that science has been able to cure in all its
stages, and that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure known to the medical
fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional dis¬
ease, requires a constitutional treatment. Hall's
Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly
on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation of the dis¬
ease. and giving the patient strength by building
up the constitution and assisting nature in
doing its work. The proprietors have so much
faith in its curative powers that they offer One
Hundred Dollars for any case that it tails to
cure. Send for list of testimonials. Address.

waste, and can be prevented.
Practical experiments at Ala¬

conclusively that the use of
“Kainit”
will prevent that dreaded plant
disease.

A gentleman residing in T street, N. W., Washington,
D. C., asserts that he suffered for many years with dyspepsia,
indigestion and biliousness. He tried every known remedy,
consulted many physicians with the hope of getting cured or
even relief, but nothing seemed to relieve him. After meals
he would feel as if a ball of lead was lodged in his stomach,
lired and listless, as though life was scarcely worth living.
Finally he was attracted to the ad of
RSPANS TABULE'
and concluded to try them. After taking the first two c
* he was surprised to find the relief they gave and s
like a new man. He has never been without Rq
since, nor has he suffered since.
