Will Not Hereafter Be a Member of the
United Press.
Sew Yoek, Feb. 19. The New York
Sun this morning prints the following
double-leaded editorial:
"As our associates in the conduct of
the United Press, the Tribune, the
Herald and the Times, have entered
upon negotiations for the surrender of
the United Press to the Chicago Asso
ciated Press without consultation with
the Sun, and without even asking our
consent, it becomes proper that we
should now give public notice to whom
it may concern that the Sun has no
part in these negotiations, but firmly re
jects thein, believing them to be con
ceived in bad faith and conducted in
folly. Furthermore, the Sun makes
known that thirty days from the date
hereof it will cease to be a member of
the United Press. Tho Sun will also
continue to collect the news for itself
and to discharge all obligations imposed
upon it through the confidence of itB
contemporaries, now and hereafter.

reports that Colonel J. J. McCook, of

Something to Know.
It may be worth something to know
that the very best medicine for restoring
the tired out nervous system to a healthy
vigor is Electric Bitters. This medicine
is purely vegetable, acts by giving tone
to the nerve centres in the stomach,
gently stimulates the Liver and Kidneys,
and aids these organs in throwing off
impurities in the blood. Electric Bit
ters improves the appetite, aids diges
tion and is pronounced by those who
have tried it as the very best blood puri
fier and nerve tonic. Try it. Sold for
50oor$l.C0 per bottle at Blakeley &
Houghton's Drug Store. (2)
Has Received N Ofler.
Nfw York, Feb. 19. Colonel John J.
McCook said today he had not received
from President-elect Mc Kinley any in
timation that he would be tendered n
position in the cabinet. His recent visit
to McKinley and Hanna was of a friend
ly nature merely. McCook said it was
the custom of presidents when making a
cabinet to invite the men they desired
to become merabeie to a conference.
He had never received such an invita
tion. A Cure for Lame Back.
"My daughter, when recovering from
an attack of fever, was a great sufferer
from pain in the back and hips," writes
Louden Grover, of SardiB, Ky. "After
using quite a number of remedies with
out any benefit she tried one bottle of
Chamberlain'e Pain Balm, and it haH
given entire relief." Chamberlain's
Pain Balm is also a certain cure for rheu
matism. Sold by Blakeley & Houghton.

heimer, a German who was naturalized
here iu Octdber, has renounced his cit
izenship. After enjoying his rights for
two months just long enough to vote
at the November elections he returned
to Germany.
It is stated that since 1860 no natural
ized person has renounced his citi.en
hip. I have given Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy a fair test and consider it one of
the very best remedies for croup that I
have ever found. One dose has always
been sufficient, although I use it freely,
