ists—Work to Begin in Texas.
Chicago, Oct. 26.—A dispatch to The
Tribune from Houston, Tex., says:
Edward D. Steger, president of the

PERMANENT MUSEUM.
Action by Board of Directors of the
World’s Fair.
St. Louis. Oct. 26.—The board of di-
dectors of the world’s fair has author
ized President Francis to appoint a
special committee of five to consider
the possible establishment of a per
manent Museum and especially to take
up the matter of the reception of ex
hibits for suitable purposes. In con
nection with the project of establish
ing a permanent museum, director of
exhibits Frederick J. Skiff appeared
before the board of directors and made
the following statement:
“The field Columbian museum, of
which I am the director has, through
its curators, made a careful canvass
of the exhibits and exhibit material
on the exposition grounds, which the
museum would be glad to acquire un
der its plan and scope. But I de
sire to state that this work was un
dertaken by the museum with special
instructions from the board of trus
tees, that In the event of a serious un-
dertking on the part of St. Louis to
establish a natural history or anthropo
logical museum or any similar insti
tution to which a new part of the mate
rial secured by the field museum would
be of value, it was to be entirely at
the service of the St. Louis organiza
tion.”
TO INSTITUTE PROCEEDINGS.
Right of Students to Vote In College
Districts.
New York, Oct. 26.—Based on a re
cent decision by the appellate division
of the state supreme court denying
the right of non-resident students to
vote in the districts where they at-
end college, legal proceedings are to
be instituted at the instance of a
political club at Columbia university
to mandamus the boards of registry
and compel them to strike every stu
dent’s name from the oKlcjal list of
voters. '
There are 2,000 voters attending
Columbia. Half of them are legal
ly empowered to vote by actual resi
dence in this city; but the other half
is likely to be denied a vote under
the appellate division ruling in which
all the justices of that court concur
red. If the mandamus campaign Is
extended to all the colleges of the
state, many thousands of votes will
he lost.

Raleigh, N. C., Oct. 26.—A report to
the state board of health upon the out
break of typhoid fever at the Bap

which there are 350 children, shows

Attempt May Be Made to Take Same
to Supreme Court.
Louisville, Ky., Oct. 26.—In his cell
in the county jail here today Caleb
Powers, who was secretary of state
under the Taylor administration, and
who was sentenced to be hanged on
Thanksgiving day as an accessory be
fore the fact to the murder of Wil
liam Goebel, said that former gov
ernor BlacH had been in the case for
some time.
Powers was twice sentenced to life
imprisonment, and an appeal on error
is now pending before the Kentucky
court of appeals on his last trial. In
case the court of appeals renders a
decision unfavorable to Powers, an
attempt will be made to take the case
to the supreme court of the United
States, and Governor Black is expect
ed to take hold of the case in that
contingency.
Powers does not think the former
governor will come to Kentucky, and
admits he is in the case voluntarily
and without remuneration.
The report caused considerable com
ment in Louisville.

An Ancient Foe
To health and happiness is Scrofula—
as ugly as ever since time immemorial.
It causes bundles in the neck, dis

resistance to disease and the capacity
for recovery, and develops into con
sumption.
“A buach appeared on the left side of
my neck. It caused great pain, was lanced,

Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy.
No one who is acquainted with its
good qualities can be surprised at the
great popularity of Chamberlain’s
Cough Remedy. It not only cures
colds and grip effectually and per
manently, but prevents these diseases
from resulting in pneumonia. It Is
also a certain cure for croup. Whoop
ing cough is not dangerous when
this remedy is given. It contains no
opium or other harmful substances
and may be given as confidently to
a baby as to an adult. It is also
pleasant to take. When all of these
facts are taken into consideration it
is not surprising that people in foreign
lands, as well as at home, esteem this
remedy very highly and very few are
willing to take any other after having
once used it. For sale by Cherokee

Germany Hae Expressed a Wish For
Another Meeting.
Berlin, Oct. 26.—While the United
States note inviting a second peace
conference at the Hague for the pur
pose of beginning the strengthening
of the original agreement between the
German government, the foreign office
has emphasized to the Associated
Press Germany’s wish for another con
ference.
This must, however, avoid plans for
universal peace and aim solely at prac
ticable reforms. While the confer
ence cannot have any direct effect on
the Russo-Japanese war, since neither
side wishes outside interference, st
questions of international law have
arisen in connection with this war
which demand a settlement, and It
lies to the interest of the world’s
peace to reach an international agree
ment on such questions and get as
many nations as possible to subscribe
to its terms.

Children's Many Misfortunes.
In the ages of childien up to twelve
years, their misfortunes, from baby’s
prickly heat to the boy’s open sore,
are many. Few parents realize the
therapeutic value of sulphur for skin
diseases and impure blood.
Hancock’s Liquid Sulphur, Nature’s
Greatest Germicide, is indispensable
in a home where are children—it may
be taken internally or applied direct
to the affected parts.
Here is the opinion of Mr. H. J.
Lamar, Vinevilie, Macon, Ga.: We
used your Liquid Sulphur on our one
year old baby, who suffered intense
ly from prickly heat over her entire
body. A half dozen applications in
two days entirely relieved her and
she slept soundly. You should re
commed Liquid Sulphur strongly to
mothers. It will prove a blessing to
every family with small children.
