Washington. Julv 15. lhe re
rooval of Charles Hedges will be
followed by other dismissals when
various features of the present in
vesHgation into the postal service
are completed. Those employees
under suspicion or against whom
minor offenses are alleged will be
quietly discharged. No effort will
be made to prosecute them. Among
them are believed lo be the follow
iop:
; Wi'liam xl. Landvoigt, superin
tendent of classification, whose son
is an employee ot the General Man
ifold Company, which has sold
large quantities of multiplex books
to the department.
; Louis Kempner, euperintendeot
of the registry division, who sup
pressed an inventory showing that
a surplus of 10,000 multiplex books
was bought from the General Man
ifold Company.
M. A W. Loui?,
superintendent
of the division of
pliee.
poetofhce sup
John M. Masten, Assistant su
periutendent of the railway mail
service, against whom charges have
been filed, and who is now under
investigation. Masten was chief
clerk to Perry S. Heath when a
large proportion of the irregularities
now being examined were commit
ted.
H. H. Rand, confidential clerk
to the postmaster-general, who has
utilized his position to advance the
eale of mining slock.
Assistant superintendent of Ru
ral free delivery hazzard, at New
Xork, who is charged with having
been the real bead of the promotion
ring and to : have conducted this
brokerage business in connection
with the officials here.
, George A. C Christiancy, acting
as assistant attorney-general, who
was relieved frooi duty at his own
request. -"
There will be other subordinate
officials' and many high-grade
clerks removed. This will be done
one at a time. It. is determined to
clear the department ot all those
who were intimately associated with
the Beavers and Machen regime
and against whom petty irregulari
ties have been alleged or strong
euspicioas directed.
Contrary to his declared inten
tion, Charles Hedges, who was dis
missed yesterday from the position
of superintendent of city free de
livery, today asked for an investi
gation and reinstatement. He also
filed a claim for 16 days' leave of
abssnce with pay.
In answering Hedges' assertion
that during the years 1898, 1899
and 1900 he had not taken one day
of regular leave, officials of the post
office department declare that the
reason Hedges did not take a leave
of absence when a vacation was
eoming to him was that if he had
done as he wouldn't have had an
excuse for charging up a per diem
allowance, and his salary was all
that would have been paid him.
As it was he took the side trios, re- !
ceived a regular salary, and charg
ed up per diem expenses.
; Assistant Superintendent Haz
zard, of New York, was stationed
there for some time and became in
timate with both Beavers and Mi
ehen. He was subsequently trans
ferred to New York but, frequently
visited this city. It is said that
last winter, whole here on one of
thete visits, Hazzard became in
volved in an ahercatioa and was
shot.
According to the story which is
being told about the postoffice de-
4. TT I .
panment, nazzira was taKen to a
local hospital,' and, through the in
fluence of Machen and Beavers, the
affair was kept from the newspa
pers. , .
A local surgeon Dr. Kerr, who
was called to treat the patient, is
paid to have ;' rendered a bill to the
pew Yorker, only to be . ''turned
Mown." It is not denied that the
surgeon has made efforts to collect
Jtbe bill through the postoffice de
partment. - Hazzard is said to have
been at the hospital for six weeks,
and aiterward made affidavit that
e was actively engaged in the ser
vice of the department and received
herefore a per diem allowance of $4,
he same as Hedges while the latter
vas in Mexieo and in attendance at
he funeral of the . late Senator
Sherman. ,-

Pasadena, Cal July 26. Miss
Alice Dane, apparently a hopeless
cripple and deprived of perfect
speech for many years, has sudden
ly had the use ot her limbs and
vocal powers restored as the result
of an accident. Mi?s Dane suffer
ed from spinal trouble, and had to
hobble about on crutches and could
scarcely speak above a whisper.
Last Thursday, while descending
the stairs in her home, ehe fell and
last step stiuck against her chest
Immediately the pain from which
she had suffered for many years
left, and alter being taken to a
couch and lying there for awhile,
she got up, and, to the surprise of
every one, walked without the aid
of crutches. Many physicians had
treated the case unsuccessfully for
years. '
Mrs. Mollie AUen, of South Fork
Ky., says ehe has prevented attacks
of cholera morbus by taking Cham
berlain's Stomach and Liver Tab
lets when she felt an attack coming
on. buch an attack is usually
caused bv indigestion and these
Tablets are just what is needed to
cleanse the stomach and ward off

CAJST
EPILEPSY
CURED?

Dr.
Darrin Says Yes and
Overwhelming Proof
His Assertion.
Gives
of
(Albany Herald.)
Mrs. Abbie Wareham was for 28
years a sufferer from epileptic ' fits
The many scars that she will carry
through life bears evidence of the
terrible falls she sustained as a re
suit of this most horrible affliction
epilepsy. She consulted the best
medical talent, six, different physi
cians pronouncing the case incura
ble. She. was recommended at last
to Dr. Darrin, but in her own mind,
and in the minds ef her frienas,
with but little hope of ever being
cured. Appended are her own
words:
Dr Darrin treated me with elec
tricity and medicine, and from the
first, I began to improve, and after
thorough - course of bis
treatment I am happy to tav I am
cured. I have bad no indication of
a return of my awful affliction for
the past 11 years. I give this in
he interest of those similarly af
flicted and most heartily - recom
mend Dr Damn's system. I had
epilepsy 26 years before going un
der Dr Darrin's care. November 14
he cured me of a case of deafness in
one minute. I refer to Mr.'.B F
Haley and Mrs. Graham, corner
First and Maine streets, also Mrs.
F E Dewey, 386 Davis street, Port
land, all of whom knew of my con
dition, then and now.
"Refer any and all to me at Mon-
taville, Oregon, by letter or in per
son. Mrs. Abbie Wareham.
SCIATIC RHEUMATISM CUBED.
To the Editor: I wish to state
my ease in brief. Five years ago I
was afflicted with sciatic rheuma
tism and cured by Dr Darrin with
electrisity and medicine. I remain
perfectly cured. Refer any one to
me at 545 Hood street. Portland.

JUDGE CBOCKETT CUBED OF DEAFNESS
For ten years prior to going un
der Dr Darrin's electrical tieatment,
September 12, 1896, I had been
gradually growing deaf, with a con-
j stant ringing in my ears. For the
past five years I could not hear ord
inary conversation. With treat
ment by Dr Darrin I can bear near
ly as well as ever in my life. I can
conscientiously recommend Dr.
Darrin's new cure for deafness, and
can be referred to at Marlin, Ore
gon, by letter or in person.

Paisley, Or., Jciy 26. Francis
G. Bark, of Minneaapolis, spent
two days here making a personal
exam at ion of the country and a
feas ble route for a railroad which
be thinks will be built from Salt
Lak to the, Coast, terminating
somewhere near Eugepe. He ex
pressed the belief that the $10,000,
000 recently paid the Union Pa
cific Conpany by Clark for the " Or
egon Short Line will be expended
on a road through, this country to
the Pacific Coast. '
After an examination, of , the
country he has concluded that the
most practicable route. for such a
road would be across the desert
from Stein's Mountain striking
Lake County at a poirft where Or
egon and California corners on the
Nevada line, thence bearing north
west and passing through Crooked
Creek. Valley and up the Chewau
can Valley to Paisley, and in a
northwesterly direction to the low
pass over the Cascade range on the
bead waters of the no-th middle
fork of the Willamette River. .
Nearly all tbe timber in this part
of Oregon would be accessible to
such a road. Mr, Burk goes from
here to San , Francisco, thence to
New York. "
