Washington, March 14.—Attorney General Griggs talked with the pres- ident to-day about a number of places under the department of jus- tice, the terms of the incumbents being about toexpire. This ineludes a large number of district attorneys and marshals. Except where charges have been made against incumbents and where the senatorial status has changed, there will be no new ap- pointments. The officeholders will be reappointed as their terms expire. the policy of the president being to keep good men in office. In a few instances new senators have succeed- ed those who secured appointments four yearsago. ‘ihe new senators will be allwed to exercise their pre- | rogatives and name men oftheir own selection. There will be more changes on aceount of senatorial | tion than any other representa- Get What You Ask For! When you ask for Cascarets Candy Cathartic be sure you get them. Genuine tablets stamped C.

Now, a word of warning, and I will be done. There are a number of concerns lo- cated in the towns along the Rock Island railroad, bordering the new country, calling themselves “‘opening agencies,” “information bureaus.” ete., and some calling themselves “lawyers,” that are proposing to furnish information to homeseekers for a fee of $2.50 up, locate claims for $10 up, and how;many other be- nificent things they will dofor an un- suspecting public, the Lord only knows. Unfortunately, however. they have no way of proving that either the Lord of the government are taken into their confidence while fleecing the fellow who wantsa home. I know nothing of special value they have to offer you. The value comes the other way. It will, I am quite certain, pay you to leave the new fellow alone. Whenyou are solicited to put up your money for “‘informa- tion” (?) by any of these concerns, ask them to deliver the goods before the money is paid. That will settle it and you will be ahead the amount you were asked to pay them. If you have questions of import- tance to ask and will make them short | and to the point, I will take pleasure |in answering, if you send me self ad- | dressed envelope and return postage.

Rheumatism Rheumatic pains are the cries of protest and distress from tortured muscles, aching i ints and excited nerves. The blood has cen poisoned by the accumulation of waste matter in the system, and can no longer supply the pure and health sustain- ing food they require. The whole system feels the effect of this acid poison; and not until the blood has been purified and brought back to a healthy condition will the aches and pains cease.
