Much Business Will Be Transacted De
spite the Shortness of Time ,
MANY BILLS ABOUT AGRIED UPON
War Revenue , Army Buorsitnlzatlon , Ol-
cotunrgnrluo and Shipping ; Subsidy
Measures Will Bo Given Klght of Way
The 1'rcsldtiiit'tt
WASHINGTON , Dec. 3. The lead
ers-of the house are preparing to press
with great vigor the important busi
ness of the short session of congress ,
which convenes today. Already
considerable preliminary committee
work has been done on the important
measures the bill for the reduction
of the war reevnuc taxes , the army
reorganization bill , the river and har
bor bill and several of the appropria
tion bills and the legislative mill will
start under a full head of steam. The
army reorganization bill is considered
particularly urgent owing to the pos
sibility of its meeting strenuous oppo
sition after it reaches the senate and
it is the intention of the leaders to
get It out of the way at the earliest
possible moment. .It will be reported
probably on Tuesday and will be taken
up at once unless after further con
sultation it is decided to let the legis
lative , executive and judicial appro
priation bill , which also will be ready
on Tuesday , in ahead of it. The dem
ocrats will caucus on the army bill
on Monday and the indications now
are that they will offer as a substitute
for the permanent reorganization
measures a bill extending for two or
three years the present law for a pio-
visional army.
The bill to reduce the war revenue
taxes practically has been completed
by the lepublicaii members of the
ways and means committee and it will
be submitted to the full committee on
'xuesday unless in the meantime a cau
cus of the republicans should be found
advisable. Some of the .republican
members are not satisfied with the list
of articles relieved from taxation by
the bill and if too much opposition
becomes evident when the house con
venes on Monday the leaders probably
will call a conference or caucus for
the purpose of adjusting and harmon
izing differences.
On Thursday the Grout oleomargarj j
ine bill will come up as a special order - j
der , under the rule made at the last
session. It imposes a tax of 10 cents a
pound on oleomargarine , butterine or
other manufactured butters colored
in imitation of butter. It has strong
backing from the dairy interests and
while it will meet with warm opposi !
tion from the interests that are antag
onizing its passage , when it reaches
a vote its passage is regarded as a j
foregone conclusion. Two days , it is
thought , will suffice for its consider
ation.
Saturday , under a special order
made last session , will be devoted to
eulogies on the life , character and
public services of the late Represen
tative Harmer of Pennsylvania , who
for several years enjoyed the distinc
tion of being the member holding the
record for longest continuous service
and therefore entitled to the sobriquet ,
"Father of the House. "
No business will be transacted at
the session today beyond the probable
reading of the president's message ,
owing to the deaths of the late Rep
resentative Daly of New Jersey and
the late Representative Hoffnecker of
Delaware , which occurred during the
recess. Their deaths , as well as the
deaths of Senators Davis and Gear ,
will be announced immediately after
the roll is called and the house will
adiourn at once out of respect to their
memories.
Mr. Frye expects to get up the ship
ping subsidy bill on Tuesday and if
not on that day then on Wednesday
and in doing this to have the Spooner
Philippine bill displaced. This will
be the beginning of the important
work of the session and upon the suc
cess or failure of the scheme may de
pend much of the future course of
proceedings for the entire session. In
order to accomplish this result it will
be necessary first to get the consent
of the republican committee ; on order
of business and to this end a meeting
of that committee will be held after
the adjournment of the senate on
Mondax afternoon. Mr. Frye said to-
dapy that he had already conferred
with a majority of the members of
that committee and that he felt as
sured he Avould have no diffifficulty in
securing their assent to the proposed
change.

WASHINGTON , Dec. 1. The river

AVould Like to Bo Senator.
ST. PAUL , Minn. , Dec. 1. Attracted
to the city by Senator Davis' funeral
and incidentally by the fact that a
sucessor to that statesman will have
to be elected within a few weeks , many
members of both houses were about
the hotels discussing the possibilities.
The field of probable candidates is
large , but all such await the action
of Governor Lind as to an appoint
ment for the brief vacancy till the leg
islature can act. Itwill be for a term
of six weeks.
TWENTY KILLED IN AWRECK. .
Trains on the Mexican Koad Crnbh To
gether Iilka mighty Uiitterlnc Rum * .
SAN ANTONIO , Tex. , Dec. 3. A
terrible wreck , in which a score of per
sons was killed and about sixty hurt ,
occurred on the Mexican entral rail
way on Thursday afternoon between
Tamanacha and Symon , fifty miles
south of Jumilico. The first news of
the disaster reached here today. Ed
ward Rische , a citizen of San Antonio ,
was at the scene twenty minutes after
the engines crashed together. The
place where the wreck occurred is in
a valley at the foot of two immense
hills. At the time both trains were
running thirty miles an hour. One of
the trains had on board a construc
tion crew numbering 150 men. The
other was a freight train of fifty-five
empty cars. Three engines and about
forty cars were piled up forty feet
high. Two Americans , train employes ,
were forced to flee to avoid being
lynched. The names of the killed and
injured are not obtainable. This is
said to be the most serious wreck that
has ever occurred in Mexico.
EL PASO , Tex. , Dec. 3. Details of
the collision on the Mexican Central
are meager. Engineer Ross and Fire
man Reeves and Harveson of the
freight train Avere killed. Most of the
dead and wounded were Mexicans , who
were riding in the cars next to the en
gine. It is now said the collision was
on the main line near Jimulco between
a freight and a passenger 'train and
that it caused the death of eleven per
sons and injury of twenty. The freight
was a doubleheader.

AS TO WEAIHEH fOIJtCASTS.
Prof. Moore Holds Virginia Court Opiii-
ior Was Coinmeiidutory.
WASHINGTON , Nov. 3. Prof.
Moore , chief of the weather bureau ,
has made a statement in which lie
calls attention to the recent decision
of the United States court of appeals
at Richmond , Va. , involving the re
sponsibility of a vessel master for
damages by rain to a cirgo of rice
discharged on an unsheltered wharf
at Charleston , S. C. , when the bureau
had predicted rain. H'e says that con
trary to widely published comments
the decision clearly stated that where
the storm warnings are brought to
the attention of vessel masters , it is
their < luty to take cognisance and
observe them , though the court said
the ordinary predictions of rain , snow
and moderate change of temperature
are less reliable than almost anything
of which the general publio is expected
to take cognizance. Prof. Moore con
tends , that the decision was a com
mendation instead of a condemnation
of storm warnings. The lureau , he
says , considers that one out of every
five forecasts of precipitation has failed
of verification , while there has not
been a destructive marine storm any
where in the United States in over
six years that was not preceded by
the danger warnings , or a severe cold
wave of which farmers were not given
timely warning.

the Pan-German league , v.ishing him
success , he referred to the close re
lationship between the Boers and the
Germans.
It is expected that Mr. Kruger will
remain here until Wednesday.
AiiU'rU-un Shoes in Ktrypt.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 3. Consul
Shumann at Mainz says in a report
to the state department if American
shoe manufacturers studied closely
the requirements of the trade in Egypt
they ought to be able to conquer that
market with ease. He says that they
certainly could be able to offer a bet
ter and cheaper shoe than the Swiss
manufacturers , who now practically
control the shoe trade of Egypt , hav
ing driven French goods out of the
market.

FAKIRS WORKING THE FARMERS.
Sulllugr 'CheapViitclieH Under Bogus
Guarantee at Fancy Prices.
GRAND ISLAND , Neb. , Dec. 3. A
stranger has been selling farmers of
this vicinity three-dollar watches for
ten dollars and giving the guarantee
of local jewelers that they would keep
the timepieces In repair. The facts be
came known last Saturday , when a
farmer entered the jewelry store of
August Meyer and wanted his watch
repaired , incidentally mentioning that
Mr. Meyer had guaranteed the watch
for such and such a length of titme.
Mr. Meyer was somewhat surprised , as
he had never handled such a timepiece ,
and was still further stunned to have
the patron pull a piece of paper from
his pocket a written guarantee
which the farmer stated his ( Meyer's )
agent had given him. It developed
that the fakir had first come to Grand
Island and posted himself upon the
different jewelers , could talk of all of
them and thus impress the farmers
that he was genuine.
Kearney Suffers Two DlnaKters.
KEARNEY. Neb. , Dec. 3. Kearney
suffered its second disaster last week
by the burning of its gas plant. If
the Standard Oil company's tanks
should now be destroyed the citizens
would have to resort to tallow can
dles.
Tuesday the canal pipe , which sup
plied the electric light plant , burst
and the flood from tiie lake wrecked
the lighting plant , causing a loss of
$50,000.
Friday evening an attendant at the
Kearney gas plant was doing some
work around the big gas tank or res
ervoir , when the escaping gas became
ignited by the lantern which he car
ried , and in a few minutes the entire
reservoir was burning. The fire com
pany responded quickly , but was un
able to do anything save protect the
surrounding buildings The damage is
considerable , but is covered by insur
ance.
Since the damage to the water pow
er the city has been depending on the
gas company for its lights and its de
struction by fire makes the question
of lights a very serious one.
Gov. Dietrich's , .tippointincsits.
LINCOLN , Neb. . Dec. 3. Governor
Dietrich says that he has decided to
appoint Dr. Kern of Wood River su
perintendent of the Asylum for Incur
able Insane at Hastings. He announc
ed also that in his inaugural address
he would probably advocate the cre
ation of a State Board of Control to
have charge of state institutions. Con
cerning the minor appointments in the
state instittuions Governor Dietrich
said all applications for such positions
should be made to the superintend
ents selected. The inaugural ball will
probably be given in the Auditorium
January 3.
Poisonous Corn Fodder.
BURWELL , Nob. . Dec. 3. Farmers
and ranchmen in this vicinity are
greatly wrought up over the fact that
dozens of cattle are dying from what
is said to be a poison in the corn
stalks pnd nearly all the rarniers are
compelled to yard and close feed their
cattle. Hundreds of acres of corn
stalks will have to be cut and burned ,
as that is the advice given by the vet
erinarians that have examined the
matter. The price of straw and hay
has advanced about $1 per ton in the
last week , for all cattle will have to
be wintered in that way.
Onu for Grand Army.
PLATTSMOUTH , Neb. . Dec. 3. The

York County's Corn Crop.
YORK , Neb. . Dee. 3. Corn huskers
are in great demand and as soon as

are ready to employ them. It is a
common sight to see girls , young wo
men and even matrons shucking corn.
Cribs are filled to overflowing and corn
is piled in driveways on the ground.

sult of the game in this city. Most
of the wagers were on scores.

WHY MRS. PiflKHAM
Is Able to Help Sick "Women
"When Doctors Fail.
IIow gladly would men fly to wo
man's aid did they but understand a
woman's feelings , trials , sensibilities ,
and peculiar organic disturbances.
Those things arc known only to
women , and the aid a man would give
is not at his command.
To treat a case properly it is neces
sary to know all about it , and full
information , many times , cannot be
given by a woman to her family phy
Mns. G. If. C
sician. She cannot "bring herself to
tell everything , and the physician is
at a constant disadvantage. This is
why , for the past twenty-five years ,
thousands of women have been con-
liding their troubles to Mrs. Pinkham ,
: md whose advice has brought happi
ness and health to counties women in
the United States.
Mrs. Chappell , of Grant Park , 111. ,
whose portrait we publish , advises all
suffering1 women to seek Mrs. Pink-
ham's udvieo and use Lyclia E. Pink-
ham's Vegetable Compound , r.s they
cured her of intlnmmition of tiie ovaries
and womb ; she , therefore , speaks from
knowledge , and her experience ought
to give otht-rs confidence. Mrs. Pink-
ham's tuldn-ss is Lynn , Mass. , and her
udvice ib absolutely free.
