purely under federal control.

clude the lands of the five tribes is

A Boon to Humanity.
A number of our great and most in
veterate tobacco smokers and chewers
have quit the use of the filthy weed.
The talismanic article that does the
work is No-to-bac. The reform'was
started by Aaron Gorber, who was a
confirmed slave for many vears to the
use of tobacco. He tried the use of
No-to-bac, and to his great surprise
and delight it cured him. Hon. C. W.
Ashcom, who had been smoking for
sixty years, tried No-to-bac, and it
cared him. Col. Samuel Stouteuer,
who would eat up tobacco like a cow
eats hay. tried this wonderful remedy,
and even Samuel, after all his years of
slavery, lost the desire. J. C. Cobler,
Lessing Evans. Frank Dell, George B.
May, C. O. Skillington, Hanson Robi
nett, Frank Hershberger. John Shinn
and others have since tried No-to-bac
and in every case they report, not only
a cure of the tobacco habit, but a won
derful improvement in their general
physical and mental condition, all of
which goes to Bhow that the use of to
bacco had been injurious to them in
more ways than one.
All of the above gentlemen are so
well pleased with the results that we
do not hesitate to join them in recom
mending it to suffering humanity, as
we have thoroughly investigated and
arc satisfied that No-to-bac does the
work well and is a boon to mankind..
The cost is trifling—a dollar a box—
and the makers, The Sterling Remedy
company, have so much faith in No-to
<bac that they absolutely guarantee
three boxes to cure any case, dr refund
money. One box in every instance in
the above, effected a cure, with one or
two exceptions. No-to-bac has a won
derful sale upon its merits alone,
throughout the United States, and can
be secured at almost any drug store in
this country or Canada, and it is made
by The Sterling Remedy company,
Chicago office, 45 Randolph street;
New York office, 10 Spruce street.

DEMOCRATS UNABLE TO MUS
. TER A QUORUM.
TWELYE VOTES SHY ON ROLL CALL
The Same Old Filibustering Fight He
I Hewed by (lie dtepubllcaus— The
Speaker and (loittelle Have an
Altercation—Democrats lie*
fraln From Voting to
Mre.lk the Qunrnni.
j . —- -
lVASHi!f»Toy, .Tan. 8.—Despite the
decision of the Democrats in caucus
last night to stand together in bat
tling for the immediate consideration
of the tariff bill and the urgent ap
peal to all members of the party to
be present ami assist in blocking fili
bustering, the attendance in the
house t mil ay was no larger than yes
terday and the same old fight was re
sumed by Messrs, iioutellc and Bur
rows.
Amidst the greatest excitement yet
witnessed during the present dead
lock, Mr. Catchings again moved the
passage of the report of the ru es com
mittee fixing January 35 as the date
for the closing of the tariff debate
and for final vote. Mr. Boutelle at
once demanded the ayes and nays.
This showed that the Democrats
lacked twelve votes of an independent
quorum, (lie Republicans and Popu
lists declining as before to vote Thus
the deadlock was again in full force.
A second roll eall showed no quo
rum, eleven votes being lacking.
Mr. Boutelle added to the confusion
by again calling up his Hawaiian
resolution. The speaker decided
against him and was just about to
direct the clerk to call the roll again
wnen Mr. Boutelle, standing in the
isle at the foot of the rostrum inter
posed. “I hope the chair will reflect
before he makes that ruling,” said he.
“Any intimation that the chair has
not reflected is a reflection on the
chair,” retorted the sneaker severely.
Mr. Boutelle disclaimed an}’ inten
tion to reflect on the chair, but the
speaker would not be appeased. He
declared emphatically'that the chair
had ruled and directed the clerk to
call the roll.
In the midst of great confusion Mr.
Boutelle, while the voice of the clerk
was ringing through the hall, shouted
that be appealed from the decision of
the chair, but no attention was paid
to him by the speaker.
“I protest against the whole pro
ceeding,” Mr. Boutelle yelled above
the din. Then he retired to his seat
while the Democrats laughed heartily.
The following Democrats refused
to answer to the roll calls: Messrs.
Sibley, Beltzhoover and Sipe of Penn
sylvania, Campbell of New York,
English of New Jersey, Geary of Ala
bama and Sperry of Connecticut. The
Democrats still lacked twelve of a
quorum, three more than the high
water mark of yesterday. Before the
announcement on motion of Mr.
Catchings, a call of the house was or
dered.
At 4 o’clock the house adjourned
without taking up the tariff bill.
VOORHEES ON THE TARIFF.
Tba Senate Will Wot Discard the Wilson
Bill—Some Clianjees Probable.
Washington, Jan. 8—A delegation
which called yesterday on Senator
Voorhees, chairman of the senate
committee of finance, in the interest
of higher duties on the metal schedule,
received no encouragement and the
senator took advantage of the
opportunity to express himself freely
and forcibly upon the subject
of a tariff in a general way. “If pro
tection were a Chinese wall,” said he,
“you manufacturers who believe in it
would not be satisfied with any height
to which it might be raised but would
keep up the demand for an increased
elevation. Like Oliver Twist, you are
constantly demanding more from one
congress to another until you have
got it so high that you are ashamed to
ask it in your own name, but put it
in the name of those whom you em
ploy as laborers, when, as a fact, after
the McKinley bill became a law,
wages of emploves were reduced in
manufacturing institutions in various
parts of the country."
After the delegation hod left Mr.
Voorhees said: “1 see there are re
ports current that the finance com
mittee will report a substitute for the
bill. 1 de not consider this probable.
The committee may make changes in
some of the schedules, but the
Wilson bill will be the basis of
recommendation and will be the bill
which the senate will consider and
pass. It is possible that we may
change among others the sugar
schedule. As I look at the matter
now I think we shall, bnt I cannot
say in what respect As to all raw
materials, I believe in leaving them
where the bill puts them. 1 do not
give any encouragement to those
seeking to restore the tariff on coal
and iron ore. I don't believe it needs
it And I can't see what farther pro
tection the manufacturers ought to
have than they get by giving them
free raw material."

For the present the failure to vote is
a protest against the unjust rule
which the majority seek to pass by
which general debate is limited to five
days, beginning to-day. This day is
already consumed, and Saturday not
likely to bring much action, so that
the rule if passed will limit the gen

Industrial interests to three da vs of

justice,, and we will continue to pro

MISSOURI MININQ INTERESTS.
-a—
State Geologist Wlitalotr Make* a lleport
on Last Year'* TTorklngi.
Jkffkrsox Citv, Mo., Jan. 8.—State
Geologist Arthur Winslow has issued
a report «.n the mining interests of
Missouri during the year ending June
30, last. He says the mining interests
of this state, as in other states, suf
fered from the financial depression
and reductions of force and output
and cessation of work in some locali
ties has keen neccessary. Notwith
standing these adverse conditions
the output of the three principal min
eral products—lead, zinc and coal—
has been large. Lead and zinc mining
continued uninterrupted, despite low
prices. The production for the year
ending June, 30, last, was 40,207 tons
of lead ore, a decrease of 0,329 tons
over that of the previous year, and
108..VJ1 tons of zinc, a decrease of 22,
807 tdns.
In the Southwestern part Of the state
depression was especially noticeable
abut Aurora, Webb City and Joplin,
where the smaller mines shut down
without much loss to idle capital.
During thiB period, however, prospect
ing and the erection of new plants has
been continued and a number of new
and important developments are un
der way. In the southeastern part
of the state the conditions are about
the same. Many good deposits have
been uncovered and new plants are
being built.
The output of coal has been affected
by strikes in addition to the financial
stringency. The principal centers oi
coal mining have been in Macon,
Dates, Lafyette, Randolph, Vernon
and Ray counties Macon and Dates
counties produced half of the total
output, which was 3,190,000, an in
crease of over 100,000 tons over that
of the previous year. \
Iron suffered more than the other
mineral industries
