Sonnto Will Probably Dispose of Army Keorgauization Bill Early This "Week , APPROPRIATION BILLS WILL FOLLOW ICIvnr mill Harbor Itlll Will Iln Debuted 1'iirtliiir In thu HOIINF , but It l rori-i-iiittiMl Tluit It Will rum by Diicln- Ivc Majority. WASHINGTON , Jan. 11. The army reorganization bill will continue to engage the iitt < ilon of the senate , at least during the first days of the week. The opinion la quko genctally oxproBaod among setmtorH that the bill will bo acted upon by the middle of the week , and even the critics of the measure join In this prediction. Many phases of the question Involved In the army bill remain to bo consid ered ami the general undorntamling IB that there will bo not a little dls- ciiBskm before the bill can be dis posed of. The spcch of Senator Platt of Connecticut last Friday in defense of the hill OH general principles will call for replies , and there are also Kpcclal features which will require mure or less attention. Among these are Senator Daniel's amendment con cerning the appointment of volun teers to olllces In the regular army ; the qucflllon of the disposition of offi cers who have hold staff positions and the provision for the enllBtmont of Filipinos In the American tinmy. The disposal of all these questlonH un doubtedly will fill the llrst two or three days of the week. Senator Allison Intends to call up the legislative , executive and judicial appropriation bills when the army bill Is acted upon , but whether this and other aprpoprlatlon bills to fol low It shall occupy the exclusive at tention of the scnato so long as they are on the calendar Is a question which has not yet been absolutely de termined. The present Indications are , however , that the appropriation bills will bo considered In advance of any other mcasurca whenever they are before the Bonato. When there are no appropriation bills to be taken up the ship subsidy bill will ho discussed. There are Btlll numerous speeches to bo made upon this measure , and already there Is talk of night sessions for Its consideration when it Is taken up. There Is little in the legislative bill to arouse discussion , but there Is a possibility that senators hostile to the subsildy bill may use the appropria tion bill for the purpose of delay. Next Saturday will bo devoted to eulogies In memory of the late Sena tor Gear. A program of miscellaneous matter will occupy the attention of the house during the coming week. The river and harbor bill , which consume one nnd possibly two days. Although the bill was criticised severely during the debate last week It Is In no dan ger of failure. Most of the attacks came from members who were disap pointed In what the bill grants to their localities and the actual oppo nents of the measure will be over whelmed when the final vote Is reached. The District of Columbia committee which , under the rules , would bo entitled to a hearing to morrow , will demand a day later In the week If , it gives way to the river and harbor bill. After the latter hill Is disposed of the bill to revise and codify the iinstal laws will ho taken ui > under a special order. It will bo fol lowed by the District of Columbia appropriation bill and the latter In turn by the postofllco appropriation bill If there IH any remaining time. GENERAL GRANT HOPEFUL.

Small Method * to Circumvent Tnuisiitliin- tlo Competitor * . WASHINGTON , Jan. 14. In com pliance with special instructions from the State department , Consul General Mason at Berlin has submitted a re port setting forth the restrictions placed upon the publication of adver tisements for certain American prod- uct8bytrqdo _ _ journals In Germany. The movement , states the consul general , dates back to 189G , when the growing competition of American bi cycles began to alarm the German makers to a considerable extent. It- was at first attempted to secure an advance in the rate of duty on Amer ican wheels , but falling In this , the association of German manufacturers adopted the plan of boycotting , EO far as possible , advertisements of Amer ican wheels and bicycle parts In the trade papers of the country. These trade journals were given to under- Bland that they were to choose be tween the patronage of German bl- cycle makers and their foreign com petitors , especially those of America. Under this pressure most , if not all , of the Gorman bicycle publications refused to acc'ept American advertise ments and still maintain their re- ntrlction. HE SPEAKS FOR CLEVELAND.

R. , and other members of the Grand Army pension committee , arrived hero today to confer with the invalid pension committee of the house relative to the bill establishing a pension court of appeals. Discuss ing the question of the mooting place of the next national encampment Gen eral Itassour said : "As a member of the executive com- mltto I do not desire to express an opinion as to how I will vote at the meeting of the executive committee In St. Louis January 21.The situation will probably be changed by that time. Cleveland , however , has not yet had a national encampment of the Grand Army , and that has been the point uppermost In my mind. I think all sections should have a chance. There IB a largo number of members living in the vicinity of Cleveland and who would not have an opportunity to at tend a national encampment unless it were hold In their section of the coun try. I believe in looking out for the poorer members of the order. " Clilnn ( ] nen to Urrnrtny. PRKIN , Jan. 1-1. Prince Chun , brother of the ompcror , paid a visit to the Gorman Icg.ttlon today , where ho had a satisfactory interview with the German minister , Dr. Mumm von Schwartzonsteln.

It haa never been legally detqrur.neu whether Solomon omen McKnlght is a resident of Iowa or Nebraska. No one knows in the eyes ot the law In which of the two states his farm lies , and it is this uncertainty that may result In a money lender's losa of $300 and cause McKnight to bo nheuu that sum. In 1S5G the Missouri river llowed o\er the strip of ground where Me lt night's farm Is now located. The farm was the river's bed. At the pres ent time the stream runs a good dla- tanco to the east , no that an observer unacquainted with the vagaries of the stream would say tnnt the farm Is a part of Nebraska. A few years ago McKnlght borrowed $100 from J. J. tiravatte , agreeing to pay him ? 300 in the event the law had to bo Invoked to secure payment. Suit was brought as the obligation Is long overdue. No tice was served on McKnlght in Ne braska. Ills attorneys contend that ho Is a resident of Iowa. If this is true the service IB Illegal and the case must bo dismissed without recovery for the plaintiff. New Kovenuo Ordrr. OMAHA , Jan. 14. An order of es pecial Interest to the banks and llnan- cial Institutions of the Internal reve nue district of Nebraska was received by the collector. Since the beginning of the last fiscal year tiToro has been no printing office In the district li censed to Imprint revenue stamps upon paper to bo used for bank cheeks and other documents. Under the circum stances the tisers of tills class of pa per have been forced to send outside of the district to have the work done. From time to tlmo much of the stamp ed paper becomes unsuited for its in tended use and the owners send to the collector to have the money rep resented by the stamps refunded. Here tofore many of these peovle have sent unused stamped paper to the collector of the district In which it was printed. The new ruling Is to the effect that all claims for refund must bo made to the collector of the district in which tno user resides anil by him forward ed to Washington. All expense of transporting redeemed imprinted pa per from the ollice of the purchaser to Washington must bo borne by the person asking for a rebate. I'upulur Again. The silk mulller , which had such a vogue several years ago , Is coming in style , again. More have been sold this winter than for a long time past. A haberdasher gives a plausible reason for the revival of the muffler. "They are warn principally to prevent the shirt collar from getting soiled , " he explained. "Of course you have no ticed how the velvet collar of an over coat , rubbing against the shirt col lar , will make a blank spot on the linen. With the quality of velvet now used in overcoat collars It Is almost Impossible to keep linen clean for a whole day. It Is probably the dye. At any rate , It soils the linen , and a nuifllcr worn around the neck pre vents this. ' BloCurty Would Ho Froe. LINCOLN , Nob. . Jan. 14.

THE DUTY OF MOTHERS , What suffering frequently results. from n mother's ignorance ; or more frequently from n mother's neglect to- properly instruct her daughter I Tradition says "woman must suf fer , " and young women are so taught. There is a little truth and a great deal of exaggeration in this. If young- - woman Buffers severely she needs- treatment , and her mother should see that she guts it. Many mothers hesitate to take tlielr daughters to , a phvdelan for examina tion ; but no mother need hesitate to- write freely about her daughter or herself to 'Mrs. Pinkhnm and secure the most efficient advice without charge. Mrs. Pinklmrn's address is Lynn , Mass. , Mrs. August Pfalzgraf , of South Byron , Wis. , mother of the young lady Whosc portrait we here publish , wrote * ' Mrs. Pinkham in January , 1890 , saying- | her daughter had suffered for two- ' years with irregular menstruation had headache all the time , and pain in i her side , feet swell , nnd was generally miserable. Mrs. Pinkham promptly- replied with advice , and xmder date of March , 1899 , the mother writes again that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound cured her daughter of all pains and irregularity. Nothing in the world equals Mrs. Pinkham's great medicine for regu lating woman's peculiar monthly troubles. Cures a Cough or Cold at onco.
