WASHINGTON LETTER.
(From our Regular Correspondent.)
Washington, March .'lO, 1903.
Etl'uor Press:—
President Roosevelt has, with
the co-operation of the Postmaster
General and his assistants, inaugu
rated one of the most thorough in
vestigations ever conducted in a
department of the goverment and
one which, while it is only in the
initial stage, has resulted in one
resignation and gives promise of
uncovering a series of the gravest
irregularities. The investigation
deal with the Divisions of Salaries
chju Aiiu>v<kuuco <i>nil i iee Deli
very in the Postoffice Department.
Repeated charges of corruption in
these divisions convinced the Post
master General that affairs were
not as should be and when the
matter was brought to theattention
of the President he immediately
authorized a most sweeping investi
gation.
The courage required to take this
step can hardly be realized by per
sons unfamiliar with the inner
working of the department. The
heads of these divisions have long
been in a position to grant favors,
often of the utmost importance to
almost every member of Congress
and by this means have acquired
a political l pull" of astonishing
proportion Often the favors so
granted, while innocent from the
standpoint of the legislator apply
ing for it, has actually been prejudi
cial to the best interests of the ser
vice, clerk hire and supply accounts
have been granted with a lavish
hand, the object being to gain favor
with the members of Congress who
have applied for these grants rather
than to further the interests of the
Postal service. But it is intimated
that the officials involved have not
been content with distributing
funds and supplies in an extrava
gant manner but have gone further
anil organized a pool by which they
have criminally profited by the sale
of supplies to the goverment and it
is claimed they have received a com
mission on every mail-box purchas
ed, especially those used on rural
routes, and have otherwise robbed
the Government.
The President is receiving gratify
ing assurances of his popularity in
the west. The latest harbinger of
news of this character is Mr.
Thomas 11. Shevlin, national coin
mitteinan for Minnesota who has
just visited Washington."l told
the President that he would receive
tut! largest labor vote next year of
any man who ever occupied the
White House," said Mr. Shevlin

after leaving the President. "I
know whereof I speak for lan not
only an employer of labor myself
but 1 keep posted on what the
various organization are doing.
The labor leaders point with pride
to the outcome of the great coal
strike. They refer to the fact that
for the first time in history a presi
dent of the United States under
took to settle a great controversy
between capitol and labor by as
suming the initiative and person
ally summoning representatives of
each side to the White House.
Heretofore the federal troops have
been called out to preserve peace
and order but in the coal strike the
President used moral susasion and
won a world wide victory." Re
ferring to a certain opposition to
Mr. Roosevelt in New York, Mr.
Shelvin said, "I tell those gentle
men they dare not oppose the nomi
nation of President Roosevelt in
the convention and after he is
nominated they connot afford, as
practical business men, to vote
against him.
SEVERE ATTACK OF GRIP.
Cured by One Bottle of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy.
"When I bad au attack ot the grip last
winter (tha second one) I actually cured
uiyself with one bottle of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy, says Frank W. Perry,
Editor of the Enterprise, Shortsville, N.
Y. "This is the honest truth. I at
times kept from coughing myself to pieces
by taking a teaspoonful of this remedy,
and when the conghing gpell would come
on at niuht I would take a dose and it
seemed that in the briefest interval the
cough would pass off' and I would go
to sleep perfectly free from cough and its
accompanying pains. To say that the
ro:riody auted as a most agreeable surprise
is very mildly. 1 had no idea that it
would or could knock out thj grip, simply
because I hud never tried it lor such a
purpose, but it did. and it seemed with
the second attack of coughing the remedy
caused it to not only be of less duration,
but the pains ware far less severe, and I
had not used th.i contents of one bottle
before Mr. Grig had bid me adieu."

A disordered stomach may cause no
end of trouble. When the stomach fails
to perforin its functions the bowels be
come deranged, the liver and kidneys con

most fatal of which are painless and there

and liver to a healthy condition, and for
this purpose no better preparation can be

A Oroat Sensation.
There WHH a big sensation in Leesville,
Ind., when W. H. Brown of that place,
who was expected to die, had his life
saved by Dr. Kind's New Discovery for
Consumption. He writes: l I endured
insufferable agonies from Asthma, but
your New Discovery gave me immediate
relief and soon thereafter effected a com
plete cure." Similiar cures of Consump
tion, Pncnmonia, Bronchitis and Grip
are numerous. It's the peerless remedy
for all throat and Lung troubles, price
50c, and 81.00. Guarauteed by L.
Taggart, Pruggist. Trial bottles free:
Fishes should get together aud adopt
a uniform scale.
Robbed the Grave.
A startling incident, is narrated by
John Oliver of Philadelphia, as follows:
"I was in an awful condition. My skin
was almost yellow, eyes sunken, tongue
coated, pain continually in back and
sides, no appetite, growing weaker day by
day. Three physicians had given me up.
Then T was advised to use Electric Bit
ters; to my great joy, the first bottle
made a decided improvement. I con
tinued :heir use for three weeks, and am
now a well man. I know they robbed
the grave of another victim." No one
scould fail to try them. Only 50 cents,
guaranteed, at L. Taggart's drug store.
Lots of men talk like philosophers and
act like fools.
Some people are in mighty poor com
pany when alone.
A Thoughtful Man.
M. M. Austin of Winchester, Ind.,
knew what to do in the hour of need.
Ilis wife had such an unusual case of
stomach and liver trouble physicians
could not help her. He thought of and
tried Dr. King's New Life Pills aud she
got relief at onee and was finally cured.
Only 25c, at L. Taggart's Drug Store.

The April Cosmopolitan is a carefully
balanced magazine. It appears to the
individual tasts of the many, and the
many tastes of the individual. There
are 17 stories and articles—lol pictures.
Chief place is given to a striking article
on"The Americanization of the Cana
dian Northwest," written by William
R.Stewart. A personal sketch of Bjorn
sterne Bjornson, the prophet-poet of
Norway, is most entertainingly written,
and is illustrated with a nnraber of
beautiful photographs of the poet's
home. "To Love or To Be Loved," is
a philosophical essay, by Lavinia Hart,
in the course of which she shows to love
means increase of physical beauty—an
end which may also be gained by physi
cal exercise, as is shown in the same
number by Bernarr McFadden, in an
article entitled "Health Made and Pre
served by Daily Exercise." Dr. Geo.
F. Shears writes on "Medicine," as part
of the series, "Making a Choice of a
Profession." "Famous Cures and Hum
bugs of Europe," is by the late Julian
Ralph. "Romances of the World's
Great Mines" (Calumet and Hecla), by
S. E. Moffett. There are also two
sketches—one on the great financier,
Jacob H. Schiff; and the other on the
sugar-king, H. O flavemeyer. Fleid
■nashal Viscount Wolseley, K. P.; H.
G. Wells, Henry Seton Merriman,
Seumas MacManus, and several other
well-known writers contribute to this
number of the Cosmopolitan, which is
particularly remarkable for the variety
of its fiction.
