decision.

saying brat he would be in Lincoln to
open the term. The court calendar includes -
cludes a term of court at Hastings ,

icide the other day by cutting his throat

the hand by a dog about four months
ago. The animal was not known to be
rabid. The wound healed quickly and
no bad effects were felt until recently ,
when he was taken with what was
supposed to be grip. Doctors being
called at once pronounced the case one
of hydrophobia. While lying on a cetin
in the small kitchen , he sprang up ,
rushed to an adjoining bedroom , seized
a razor from a stand and cut his throat
almost before his parents and three
young men who were watching were
able to realize what was being done.

and for labor 3,147.72. A like number
of engines were built at Aurora , Ill. ,

tom as to the matter of cost of construction -
struction and at the top as to efficiency
in management The Havelock shops
are among the largest in the west and
in all their appointments there is nothing -
ing finer or more complete in the coun-

the showing which the local shops have
made.

MORE TALES ABOUT CUBA
.
REPRESEIITAS S T B ER I
VIEWS ON THE RES0IUTI0S
WILL VOTE ON MONDAY.
Immediately After the Iteading of the
Journal tlio Cuban Resolutions V111
Be Disposed of-Mr. Adams of
Pennsylvania , Charges the
Senate With Filibuster-
lug Against Cuba.
WASHiI'GTON , April ( . -In the House
to-day Mr. Adams of Pennsylvania , of
tho' committee on foreign affairs ,
was the first speaker on Cuban resolu-
tions. He said that lie should have
refrained from addressing the House
further on this question but for the
"extraordinary performance of the
gentleman from Maine ( Mr. Boutelle )
yesterday. " Referring to the charge
that the people were not behind the
effort of Congress to grant proper recognition -
ognition to Cnb i , he asserted that
Congress had seldom before received
so many petitions on any subject as
this. lie contended that a handful of
Senators had taken advantage of the
rules of the Senate to prevent the
adoption of the conference report by
filibustering. The Cubans had an organized -
ganized form of government and were
in every way entitled to recognition.
Mr. Knox of Massachusetts was recognized -
ognized to read a letter from his
colleague , Mr. Draper , a member of
the foreign affairs committee , opposing -
ing the adoption of the conference
report. He said thathe differed from
llr. Draper and made a plea for
affirmative action. He thought measures -
ures should be taken to put an end to
the barbarous warfare and that for
this oountry to fail to do this would
be to incur the loss of self-respect as
well as to deserve the contempt of all
foreign nations.
The IIoue then decided to hold a
night session for debate on the Cuban
resolutions and to vote Monday after
the reading of thejournal.

sides the estimates of the Nississippi
and Missouri River commissions. Of
the total amount recommended , about
36 per cent , or $3,642,800 , is for harbors -
bors , $6,587,760 for rivers and $100,000
for surveys , etc. The continuous contract -
tract system is especially recommended -
mended , and the bill gives authority
to the secretary of warto enter into

BURGLARS AT THE CAPITOL
A Bold Attempt to Break Into Senator
Quay's Desk.
WAsnIxoTor , April 6.-The Senate
committee room on public buildings
and grounds was broken into last
evening , and an unsuccessful attempt
made to break into Mr. Quay's desk.
The iron bolts fastening the doors at
the top and bottom were pried out of
the sockets , showing that strong tools
had been employed.
It is believed by the senator that an
attempt was made to get possession of
his political papers , but , even if the
desk had been opened , the political
papers would not have been obtained ,
as they had all been removed to Mr.
Quay's house a week ago. Nothing
else in the room was disturbed.
About a year after the election of
1888 Mr. Quay's desk was robbed of all
his political papers , and they have
never been recovered. They were not
important , as they were what the
senator termed "trash left over which
might well have been destroyed. "
The W9 C. T. U. With Hughes.
CHIcAGo , April 6.-The officers of
the W. C. T. U. have sent a telegram

Hughes of Arizona and urging a thorough -
ough investigation. The reason for
this is "Governor Hughes' well known
championship of temperance in all
questions of reform. " The state
presidents of the W. C. T. U. are being
urged to wire similar requests to their
senators.

EDISON'S LATEST ,
Reproductions of Kinetoscopo Plctures
Cast Life-Like on a Screen.
NEW YORK , April 6.-Thomas Edison
was in a very happy mood when seen
in his laboratory in West Orange last
night. He had about completed another -
other machine , which he calls the
"vitascope. " It is an improvement of
the kinetoseope , and Mr. Edison says
he has no doubt that it will prove to
be a success. '
The vitascope tlrr ovs on a screen
by means of bright lights and powerful -
ful lenses the moving life size figures
of human beings and animals. Last
night in the big foundry building adjacent -
jacent to the laboratory the machine
was rigged up and a very satisfactory
exhibition was made.
The first picture shown on the
screen was a colored panorama of a
serpentine dance by Anabelle , who
posed before the kinetoscope last sum-
mer. The film roll on which the photographs -
tographs were attached was arranged
over a half dozen spools and pulleys ,
and when the machine was set iii mo
tion the dancer's image appeared upon
the screen , as if in life. The original
photographs , as taken by the kineto-
graph and developed on the roll , are
about the size of a special delivery
postage stamp , and to produce a pie.
ture life size are magnified about 600
times'
Mr. Edison expects shortly to be
able to so improve the phouot raph
that he will be able to take records
much longer than now and the vita-
scope and phonograph will be so combined -
bined that it will be possible for an
audience to watch a photographic
reproduction of an opera and hear the
music at the same time.
BARKER FAVORS A BOLT.
The Philadelphia Silverite Calls for a
Union of Wlilto Metal Advoates.
DENVER , Colo. , April 6.-The Rocky
Mountain News has received the following -
lowing message from Mr. Wharton
Barker of Philadelphia :
"PIIILADELPRIA , Pa. , April 3.-This
action of the Manufacturers' Clubthic
weak straddle , taken with the declaration -
ation of Mr. John Converse , candidate -
date for president of the club : 'I
am for the single gold standard , '
convinces all those brmetallists
who have hoped to see the Republican -
publican party adopt a straightout
plank for the restoration of silver to its
old place-16 to 1-by independent action -
tion of the United States , that the
friends of silver remonetization must
abandon that hope. As the Democratic -
cratic party is not likely to do better
than the Republican party , it is the
duty of those of all parties who do
not hold principle subservient to political -
litical expediency and who put patriotism -
ism before partisanship , to come to a
common understanding with each
other , unite on a common policy , join
in the promulgation of a definite
policy and unite and at once organize
for political action. The several conventions -
ventions called to meet au St. Louis
will , of course , ratify any action the
plain people agree in demanding.-

INSOMNIA.
WHAT IT MEANS TO LOSE THE
POWER TO SLEEP.
A Young Ilaltimoro Woman Whose \erves
Prevented Her From Resting.
From the Herald , Baltimore , Md.
Mrs. Jessie Shea is a young married
woman whose tidy home is at 855 'West
Lexington Street , Baltimore. For many -
months Mrs. Shea was a terrible sufferer - f
ferer from a nervous affection which
resulted in general debility and super- -
Induced that ofttinies incurable malady -
ady , insomnia. A Herald reporter
called at her residence , recently and .
was shown Into -lie neatly furnished ? 4l I
parlor and told that Mrs. Shea ,
would be down fn a few min- r
ute-q . Soon n light step was heard !
tripping down the stairway and r
lira. Shea , radiant with health and the
vigor of young womanhood , entered
the room. When asked If she had used j
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills , with n smile
which betokens the utmost satisfaction -
tion , the young lady replied "Fes. I i
have used them , and had I not heard of
them I doubt If I would have been here I
to answer yet r call. " - i
Continuing , she said : About two
months ago I had an attack of what
the doctors termed nervous prostration.
My appetite left me entirely and what
little sleep I got , and It was very lit-
tie , I assure you , was not by any j
means refreshing. On the contrary , _
when I awoke from a nap I had such f
a tired and exhausted feeling that I i
gas loth to try to , ; et to sleep again. I r i
continued to lose flesh day. after day It
until I was almost a shadowy . compared t
with my former self. t
"As soon as I began to take the Pink i
Pills I commenced to improve. I am
no longer troubled with nervousliess.
I have a good appetite , experience none
of the feelings incident to indigestion , -
and I sleep as sound as a healthy child.
The pills are certainly all they are represented -
resented to be , and , as I believe r owe
my life to the fact of having used
them. I shall always cheerfully recommend - ,
mend them to ms friends and other ,
;
persons whom I find to be suffering
from similar maladies.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain , in
a condensed form , all the elements necessary -
essary to give new life and richness to
the blood and restore shattered nerves.
Pink Pills are sold in boxes at 60 cents
a box , or six boxes for $2.50 , and may
be had of all druggists , or direct by
mail from Dr. Williams' Hied. Co. ,
