Winter Slated for the Union
Pacific Presidency.
THE PATH UNDOUBTEDLY CLEAR
It I Declared at Omaha that Horace G.
Hart, of That City Will Bo
Klected. -
Chicago, Dec. 1. This morning's
Tribune says :
Well-defined rumors ara in circulation
here that Receiver Clark has positively
declined to accept the presidency of the
Union Pacific on account of .ill health.
It bas been practically decided that .
W. Winterj late president of the North
ern Pacific, will fill the place heretofore
held by Clark.
. The actual bead of the corporation, it
is said, will be Marvin llughitt, presi
dent of the Chicago & Northwestern,
who is to become chairman of the board
of directors of the Union Pacific,
An Omaha Rumor.
Omaha, Dec 1. There has been a
great deal of talk about' the- probability
of the election of Horace G. Burt, vice
president of the Northwestern, to ihe
Union Pacific presidency. Those who
prediet Burl's election argue that Presi
dent Hughitt, of the Northwestern,
wants to take care of H, C. McCulloch,
general trafic manager of the North
western, by making him third vice
president to succeed Burt.
Later-r-It has just developed that
Horace Burt bas opened an office here
in the same building with the Elkhorn
offices, but on the other floor, and is
there ensconced with private secretary
and clerks. . -
Cod Armed by Clark.
St. Louis, Dec. 1. S. H. H. Clark,
one of the receivers of the Union Pacific,
today announced that he had been of
fered the presidency of that company by
the teorgadization committee, but owing
to ill health he' had refused to accept
the position. '
, In Behalf of Starving; Cuba. -
New Yobk, Dec. 1. Preeident McKiri
ley is considering the best method cf
placing before. the charitable citizens of
the United States on appeal for tood to
relieve destitution in Cuba.
According to the Washington corre
spondent of the World the Spanish min
ister has informally conveyed the- infor
mation to this . government that any
contribution which will be made will be
welcomed. In view of this it is expect
,ed that within a few days Consul-Gen-.
eral Lee will be authorized to take charge
of the supplies donated by the citizens
of the United States.
' The administration hopes a general
relief movement will be started in this
country. In such an event BtepB will be
taken to . have the supplies admitted
without th payment of duty.
Liberals Again In Favor.
Toronto, Dec. 1. Toronto, which
previous to the last general election, has
been held by 'the conservatives, has
elected George Bertram, a liberal, to
represent Toronto in the house of com
mons. The election shows that the lib-
Royal makes the food pure,
wholesome and delicious.

NAVAL VESSELS WILL GO SOUTH
I was troubled for a long
time with a sore wrist: some
thing the doctors termed an
open vein. It would break
and the blood would flow in
a stream from it, and I could
find nothing that would heal
it until I tried your Happy
Thought Salve. " A - small
quantity healed it up nicely.
In fact it has been well and
showed no signs of breaking
ior over three months, so
feel it bus "done perfect work.

United States Flag; to be Seen In West
Indian Waters.
Washington, Dec. 1. In the opinion
of the administration - the - time is now
ripe for a renewal of the practice of hav
ing the United States navy represented
in the waters of the Gulf, of Mexico and
the Caribbean Sea. For several years
past, save an occasional cruiser sent
with all haste on her way to or from the
Sooth Atlantic stations, not a vessel of
the navv has been beyond the waters of
Florida, for the reason that the presence
of the United States. war veeeels in the
neighborhood of the Spanish Antilles
might have served to create an erroneous
impression as - to the attitude of the
United - States-" toward - the- Cuban
insurgents and tended to complicate
matters between the United States and
Spain at a time when it was desirable
that no outside influences ehould be
brought into play. ' "'
U'he Marblebead,now at Annapolis, will
start southward as soon as she can com
plete her work in connection with ' the
trial of torpedo-boat Winslow. She will
go to Navassa to look after the condition
of United Slates citizens working on
that iuland. ; - - z
Nothing has been heard from there
for some time, and it is deeded proper
to inquire into the allegations of ill
treatment and abuses of the workiuginen
there.
While engaged in this inspection the
Marblehead will make -hear headquar
ters at Port an Prince, on the west coast
of Havti, and will be charged with the
protection of American - interests gene
rally in that section of the West Indes.
The Wilmington is also to be sent
southward, but she will first be docked
and overhauled. After a stay in tropic
al waters she will continue on to the
South Atlantic station. "'

Chicago, Dec. 1. The examination of
talesmen in the Luetgert case today was
marked by many conflicts between As
sistant States Attorney McEwen and At
torney Harmon, for the defense. The
ndge was required to interfere frequent-
y. -. . .
Four jurors were sworn in yesterday,
and up to that time thirty-eight venire
men had been ealled into the jury-box
and found disqualified to serve. One ver
nireman, a fashion ' plate publisher, Jo
seph W. Phillips, proved satisfactory to
the attorneys on both sides of the case,
but Luetgert objected to him because he
was for nine years chief clerk of - police
in Northumberland county, England.
The jurors chosen 'were George K.
Berlin, a restaurant-keeper; Frank
Hoffman, an Electrical engineer; Thom
as S. Gardner,- a furniture. dealer; Thos,

Something: to Know.
It may be worth something to know
that the very oest 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 centers in the
stomach,' gently stimulates the Liver
and Kidneys, and aids these organs in
throwing off impurities in the blood
Electric Bitters improves the appetite,
aids digestion, and is pronounced 'by
those who have tried it as the very beit
blood purifier and nerve tonic. Trv it.
