1 1. I THE COURIER- JOURNAL. LOUISVILLE, THURSDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 17, 1898 CONTEST of Hunter vs. Rhea Will Not Be Pressed. SUB-COMMITTER TO CONSIDER IT.

John D. White Opens His Batteries Against Hill. SAYS HE CAN DEFEAT CONFIRMATION. Washington, Feb. -Gen.

Dudley, counsel for Dr. Hunter, appeared before Election Committee No. 1 to-day and announced that he had instructions from Dr. Hunter not to press the contest any further. The committee then had an informai discussion as to whether it should proceed any further to try the case in view of Dr.

Hunter's abandonment of it. The committee finally appointed a sub-committee of three, consisting of Messrs. Davenport, Lawrence and Settle, to report to the full committee some recommendation as to the proper course to pursue, whether to table the case or gO on with it. The latter course will probably prevail. Hon.

John D. White, of Manchester, arrived here this morning to oppose the confirmation of recently appointed District Attorney Hill. Mr. White will oppose Hill's confirmation on the ground of 'traud practiced by him while chairman during the congressional election. He says he will show that Hill, being chairman of the committee, demanded $650 from him as an entrance fee and that part of the money was used for printing Illegal ballots, the paper used being too thin.

The ballots contained no serial numbers and the books failed to have the precincts designated upon them, Mr. White's name as a candidate for Congress was placed under several different devices, all of which was done with the knowledge of Hill and with the Intention of electing Colson, the price to be paid Hill being a Government position. have placed Information In the hands of the Judiciary Sub-Committee," said Mr. White, "which will be sufficient to defeat the of Hill. The point I make against him is this: If he would practice such fraud In order to be District Attorney, when he got to be District Attorney would he not sell out the Government for higher price? The Administration is paying the debts of man who secured his seat in Congress by fraud and forgery.

I am not opposing Mr. Hill's confirmation for perSonal advantage. It ta more to my advantage to have Mr. Hill confirmed, for then I can gO before the people this tall and show them the result of Colson's bargain and the paid debt. With me this 1s a matter of principle." Congressman Wheeler called at the White House to-day to protest against the appointment of W.

S. Mason, who la stated for the Mayfield Mr. Wheeler received several telegrams from of requesting to present their protest to the PresIdent. They charge that Mason is not fit man for the office. This is regarded here as being the last card in the hands of the Happy forces.

Mr Mason is said to be well qualified position, and his appointment is expected among the next batch of presIdential Kentucky postmasters, the protest of Mr. Wheeler notwithstanding.

It threatens to revolutionize the present routes of traffle. It claims that the Gulf offers the proper outlet for the export trade of the entire West, and it will leave no stone unturned to establish the supremacy of its favorite route. To secure the meat traffic of Chicago it has made a rate of 45 cents from Chicago through to Amsterdam. This is cents less than the rate the direct lines from Chicago to New York have been making. It is a rate with which they say they can not compete.

The Kansas City, Pittsburg and Gulf, on the other hand, says it is but a question of ability to handle all the traffic it can secure at these figures.

RIVER TELEGRAMS. Pittsburg, Feb, was quiet along the rivers to-day. Many of the WINE OF CARDUI Don't Turn Your Back. HARVEY, IL, Nov. 8th, 1897.

I feel that I have had a wonderful recovery, and that almost owe my life to Wine of Cardul. As a girl I suffered a good deal at my menstrual periods, but after the period passed I felt well, and did not pay much attention to it. After my marriage, in 1894, the trouble grew much worse. The periods were irregular, and the pains seemed to be all over my body. My husband consulted a physician about it, and he gave me medicine that relieved me at the time, but I would be worse than ever the next month.

I was almost crazy at times. I had seen Wine of Cardui advertised a great many times, but I was prejudiced against patent medicines and. didn't get it. One day 1 saw a case reported very much like my own, which Wine of Cardul cured, and decided I would try it. I have taken almost three bottles, and we are all amazed at the result.

I attend to my regular duties now during my periods, and do not suffer at all. 1 have not been as well in ten years. know I could have avoided much suffering if I had taken Wine of Cardui when first heard of it. MRS. P.

G. WILSON. Wine MSELREE'S Cardul There are women who will read Mrs. Wilson's letter who suffer just as she suffered. Some will promptly get Wine of Cardui, and soon be well and happy LADIES' ADVISORY DEPARTMENT.

For in requiring again. There may be others who will delay dial directions an. givingoymp treatment, and suffer on and on, month Chattanooga, Tenn. after month. But isn't it surprising that any intelligent woman will do that with this certain cure within her reach? Why does she choose sickness and misery instead of health and gladness? By an unparalleled record for cures--by the unimpeachable testimony of thousands upon thousands of the best women in America, Wine of Cardui has secured its place as an almost infallible remedy for every kind and sort of female It cures ninety-nine out of every hundred of such cases.

It is offered to you. Every druggist sells it. You can take it in the privacy of your own home. Don't turn your back upon relief so near to you. Try Wine of Cardui.
