senate and an appropriation bill In the
house. Tho anti-option bill is the un
finished business on thu senate calen
dar, nnd Is expected to be laid before
that body to-day. unless an early ad
journment prevents it.
. In tho morning hour Senator Mitchell
will discuss his joint resolution propos
ing an amendment to tho constitution
providing for tho election of .senators
py,:the votes of .the qualilk'd.cluctors ol
tho States. This joint rcsnluuon Is in
dorsed by tho commltteo on privileges
and elections and Is undoubtedly strong
in. the senate, but because of its grout
importance.il is nanny to oonsstunea
that It can lie passed during tho scanty
opportunity offered by tho morning
hour.
Once the anti-option bill is laid beforo
the sennto it will bu open to discussion
again, und positive action on tho mat
ter is expected this week. Frotn pres
ent Indications the dally sessions will
bu short and an adjournment will bu
taken from Thursday to tho following
.Monday. It Is qui to probable that in
the house next week a great deal of In
formation nud opinions based on In
formation will be submitted relative to
the condition of the treasury.
It Is the expectation of tho leaders
that with the exception of Monday,
when bills concerning tho District of
Columbia will have right of way, prac
tically tho whole tltno of the hoit'.u dur
ing tho week will be devoted to consid
eration of tlte regular appropriation
bills. Tho debate will begin on thu
nrmy appropriation bill, which thu mil
itary committee will report to-day ami
which ChalrtnaniOnthwalte at present
intends to call up to-morrow.
It is llltely that, tho debate will take
a much wider range than this bill and
will embrace tfio statu of tho revenues
of existing appropriations qnd, it is
possible, of tho policy of the democratic
party. The nrmy' bill in its aggregate
shows a reduction frotn tho totul
amount carried by tho bill for the cur
rent fiscal year, but there have been
several Increases made in the appropria
tions under the licotlof "department ot
ordnance." .
The military committee would not bo
surprised if an attack was 'made on
some of these items by Mr. llolman and
other rigid economists. It is prepared
for uny criticisms which may bo made
by adopting in its report the statements
made by Gen. Flagler showing the real
and urgent necessity for additional np
proprlations, and is lu for a lively fight
if need-ic.
The appropriations committee has
been at work on tho District of Coluin
biatdnd fortification appropriation bills
for some time, und expects to report
the latter bill in time to be taken up as
soon us the army bill is passed
The district of Columbia bill has
caused considerable trouble to tho sul
committee in charge of It, A host of
locaf f'vefriment qlllcials Have' been
examined and to-da'tho'sttncomnilt-tecTwllI
begin the tfnnualiprepnratlon
of the bl. It is belle vod, that the bill
will be reported id' tho house tho latter
part of this week. ' .vi
Estimates for deficiencies 'have been
received nnd they will bo embodied in
uu urgency deficiency bill, to be report
ed to tho house und taken up almost
immediately or action, any other bills
under discussion to temporarily give
way.
It Is the purposo of tho managers of
tho lmuse to get all thee bills over to
the. senate beforo thu holiday recess.
The accomplishment of this purpose
largely depends on tho temper of the
house, whiulif if in the mood, can pro
tract consideration of tho bills over
beveral weeks.

Oz.viii:, Mo., Dec. 11. Young Mat
Day, of Taney county, was shot nnd
mortally wounded a few nights ago.
Tho shooting occurred some forty mlle.i
south of 0.urk, on Dear creel:, and tho
news from that part of Taney county
comes In slowly. There had been sotno
horses stolen on Dear creek, and a man
named Dyers was watching bin barn on
thu night of tho 7th Inst., whon ho saw
a inuu stepping toward the barn door.
Dyers flred.and the supposed thief fell.
It was young Mat Day, who lived not
far from' Dyers.
D.ty said to Dyers: "You'havo killed
mo and I was only trying to steal some
chickens." i
Young Mat Day was a son of tho
tho n'otcd Cnpt. Mat Day, of Taney
county, who was chief of tho Huld
Kuohbcrs, und also was one of tho ac
cused lynchers of Urlght nnd Williams.

thought that more trouble in Tuney
county will follqw this lost killing.

seven
years ago I had Bronchitis,
which ilnaUy drifted into
Consumption, so the doc
tors said, and they had
about given mo up. I was
conllucd to my bed. One
day my husband went for
the doctor, but he was not
in liis oilicc. Tho druggist
sent me a bottle of Piso's
Cure lor Consumption. I
took two doses of it, and
was greatly relieved be
fore the doctor came. He
told me to continue its use
as long as it helped me. I
did so, and the result is, I
am now sound and well
entirely cured of Con
sumption. Mrs. P. E.

THE LITTLE CHILDREN.
Ever since the time when two she-bears
ate forty-two little Israelitles for making
fun of the prophet Elisha, public sympa
thy has been on the side of the little street
Arabs who roam about and are forced to
look out for themselves. How many of
them die like poor Jo in "Bleak House",
before they have had half a chance. Most
of them are swept away by pulmonary diseases.-
Consumption drags them down to
death by thousands. All of them could be
saved by the use of Reid's German Cough
& Kidney Cute. It is only by taking care
of the health of thesmallcstof the children,
that the race Is elevated. See that you do
your duty and provide for the comfort of
your own child. Get this great remedy.
Itcontalns no poison. It will cure croup.
The small bottles are twenty five cents, the
large sire are fifty cents.
