over the plans for his Immediate future.
The secretary promptly informed Dewey
that the department was willing to give
him perfect liberty to do as he pleased.
The admiral was, therefore, at his
instance, detached formally from the
Olyrnpin after this date. He will tele
graph tho executive officer at Tompkins
ville, to haul down his flag today, and
thus will terminate his connection with
tho cruiser which for more than two
years has been hia home.
In accordance with projects already
planned, the admiral will go to Vermont
Monday as the gaest of W. Seward
Webb, of Burlington.
Later in the day the admiral called on
the president to discuss the Philippine
situation.
There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all othe disenses put
together, and until the last few years
was supposed to he incurable, lor a
great many years doctors pronounced it
u local disease, and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced
it incurable. Science has proven catarrii
tobe a constitutional disease, and there
fore requires constitutional treatment.
Hall's Catarrah Cure, manufactured by
F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the
only constitutional cure on the market
It is taken internally 111 doses from ten
drops to a teasnoonful. It acts directly
on the blood and iuucoub surfaces of the
system. They offer one hundred dollars
for nnv case it fails to cure. Send for

No Market for Wheat.
Pe.ndleto.v, Or., Oct. 4. Farmers are
complaining that there is no market for
wheat. At the present time practically
no sales are being made, and the growers
are waiting tor tne market to assume
shape so that the buyers will begin their
usual inquiries for grain to purchase. It
is yet the general view that fifty cents
would cause an immense amount of
wheat to move at once, and that if such
a local market were quotable upon any
given day, hundreds of thousands of
bushels would immediately change
hendsin this country.

veny. I told him this morning that I
would do so, and I have kept my word."
Police Officer Lincoln appeared 011 the

"Are you the man who did the shoot
ing?" Mills said that he was, and ho was at.
once put under nr'est.

his desk, and the ink has scarcely dried
on tho paper before we was dead.
