The senate was called to order by
Senator Edmunds, president pro tern.
The usual resolution notifying the
house and the president that the sen
ate was ready for business was agreed
to.
The president's message was sent
in and read. It Is somewhat lengthy
discussing a variety of subjects. He
speaks of our foreign relations as
pleasant and free from complications,
but recommends that Spain be re
quired to settle claims of American
citlrens; believes that Mexico needs
and must receive more fraternal at
tention from the U. S. government.
Recommends the reduction of the
revenues, and gives a statement of
the government finances for the cur
rent year. Urges the construction of
coast defenses, and the rehabilitation
of the navy. Does not favor the gov
ernment telegraph system. Suggests
the propriety of restrictive railroad
legislation. Civil service reform, bo
far, considered a success. The presi
dent claims that legislation is needed
npon the subject of presidential suc
cession, as well as to guarantee social
rights to colored citizens. He also
recommends further action and legis
lation in regard to Utah, and believes
the present law intended to repress
or prevent polygamy in that territory
has failed to accomplish any good,
and while Mormons control the leg
islation of the territory will probably
never succeed in working out a great
ly needed reform in Utah.
Several bills were introduced in

teenth amendment to the constitution.
Also authorizing American citizens
to purchase foreign built ships and
engage in the foreign carrying trade.
Edmnnds, providing for further
protection of the colored citizens of
the United States against the viola
tion of certain rights secured by the
constitution. Also to establish a
postal telegraph system.
Sherman, providing for tho issue of
the circulation of national banks, al
lowing circulation to be issued for 90
per cent of the market value of bonds
instead of the face value.
VanWyck, declaring that railroad
corporations shall pay within sixty
days the costs of surveying and locat
ing lands to which they are entitled.
Otherwise they to be subjected to
state and local taxation, and also to
pre-emption and homestead entry.
Also, to restore to the public domain
lands, donated but not earned by rail
road corporations where the roads
are not finished within the time spec
ified in the grant. Also, to protect
all pre-emption and homestead en
tries on lands forfeited by failure to
build the road within tho time speci
fied. Also, for the relief of settlers
on public lands in Nebraska and
Kansas on the line of the Denver &
St. Joe road. (It provides for the
payment of $3.50 per acre to settlers
whose land by tho decision of the su
preme court reverted to the railroad
company under the grant which was
supposed to have been forfeited).
Also, to repeal the Northern Pacific
grants. It confirms to the company
all lands earned by the construction
of any portion of the road, but re
stores to settlement and sale several
million acres in Washington territory
and Oregon, being applicable to that
portion of the line west of Wallala
Junction. The rights of settlers on
odd sections ib preserved by allowing
them to enter upon the homestead or
pre-emption laws or to purchase not
less than 160 acres at $25 per acre.
The graceful way in which a poli
tician who has been compelled to use
a shot gun to carry an election down
in Mississippi waives formalities so
as to save -expense to the county, is a
credit to that commonwealth. Some
of the uneasy "niggers" in Copiah
county who were apparently not sat
isfied with the killing of J. P. Matth
ews by the chairman of the democrat
ic county committee, for disobedience
to the order of the committee forbid
ding him to come to the polls on elec
tion day, and in fact who are satisfied
with nothing fair, complained be
cause the coroner did not sit on the
body of the "deceased scalawag."
Matthews was not a carpet-bagger,
and hence was a scalawag. The cor
oner is not a man to rest under an
imputation that he does not know his
duty, and do it at all hazards, and he
comes out in a card, which is simple,
concise and right to the point. Here
it is:
In regard to the killing of J. P.
Mattbewi, it was suggested to me by
T. P. Ware that I had better have a
jury of inquest over the body ; before
summoning the jury, I was told E. B.
Wheeler did not deny the act; I saw
him and he told me that he had done
it and I could make out my verdict
that way. W. M. Robertson,
Coroner.
He has a cast iron cheek who will
contend, after this, that judicial notice
has not been taken of the affair. It
will probably suggest itself to the
chairman of the democratic committee
of Copiah county that the public
slaughter of the meddlesome T. P.
Ware is the next enterprise that
should engage his attention. State

world-renowned threshing machines,
the same being one of the premiums
offered to the subscribers of the Oma
ha Weekly Bee. The Bee's premium
list this year is truly a liberal offer,
comprising over 200 grand premiums,
worth from $25.00 to $1,800.00 each.
At the head of the list we find an
$1,800 lot, located on Sherman Ave.,
Omaha; a threshing machine with
power, a traction engine, worth $1,000,
a Grand piano, and numerous other
valuable articles, farming implements,
sewing machines, gold and silver
watches, silverware, and the like.
Besides those, nearly 25,000 minor
presents are offered, thus assuring a
premium to every subscriber, who
prepays for one year, the price being
only $2.00. Every premium is guar
anteed to be worth not less than $1.00.
The grand total of these presents
which will be distributed on the 31st
of December, foots up to over 35,000
dollars. The large number of ack
nowledgements by the fortunate re
cipients of premiums given in former
years 6peaks for the satisfactory man
ner in which those distributions are
conducted. The weekly Bee is one
of the newsiest weekly journals pub
lished, and furnishes an uncommonly
large amount of valuable reading of a
general interest, containing both east
ern and western news. Many of our
acquaintances who do not themselves
read the weekly Bee subscribe for it,
and have the papers forwarded to
their friends and relatives, while they
retain tho premium tickets. A very
good idea, to be sure. Write them
for sample copies.

A. S. FISHBLATT, M. D.,
SPECIAL ATTENTION GIVEN TO DISEASES OF
THE THROAT AND LUNGS, CATARRH KIDNEY
AND BLADDER, AND WELL AS ALL CHROXir AND NER
VOUS DISEASES,.
DR. FISHBLATT
Has discovered the greatest cure in the world for weakness of tin- ba-k and limbs,
involuntary discharges, Impotency, general debility, nervousness languor, confus
ion of ideas, palpitation ef the heart, timidity, trembling, dimness of sight or giddi
ness, diseases of the hbad, throat, nose or skin, affections of the liver, lungs, stom
ach or bowels those tvrrible disorders arising from solitary habit of vouth, and
secret practices more faal to the victims than the songs ot Svren to the mariners of
Ulysses, blighting their most radiant hopes or anticipation, rendering marriage
impossible.
Those that are suffering from the evil practices, which dstp-v tli-ir mental and
physical systems causing
NERVOUS DEBILITY,
the symptoms of which arc a dull, distressed mind, which unfits them from perform
ing their business and social duties, makes happy marriage impossible, diJtrese
the action of the heart, causing flushes of heat, depression of spirits, evil forebod
ings, cowardice, fears, dreams, restless nights, dizziness, forgettulness, unifatural
discharges, pain in the back and hips, short breathing, melancholv, tire eailv of
company and have preference to be alone, feeling as tired in the morning as when
retiring, seminal weakness, lost manhood, white boue deposit in the urine, nervous
ness, confusion of thought, trembling, watery and weak eves, dyspepsia, constipa
tion, paleness, pain and weakness in the limbs, etc., should" eomult me immediately
and be restored to perfect health.
YOUNG MEN
Who have become victims of solitary vice, that dreadful and destructive habit
which annually sweeps to an untimely grave thousands of voung men of exalted
talent and brilliant intellect who might otherwise entrance listening so uators with
the thunders of their eloquence or wake to cctacy the living lvre, ina v call with
full confidence.
MARRIAGE.
Married persons or young men contemplating marriage be aware of physical
weakness, loss of procreative power, impotency, or any other disqualification speed-
iijr iciicieu. c nuujuaws uiiuseu uuuei iuc care oi ur. r lsniuaiL mav religiously
confide in his honor as a gentleman, and confidently rely upon his skill as a
phvsician.
ORGANAL WEAKNESS
Immediately cured and full vigor restored. This distressing afilletion which reu
ders life a burden and marriage impossible, is the penaltv paid by the victim for
improper indulgence. Young people are apt to commit excesses from not bein"
aware of the dreadful consequences that may ensue. Now who that understand
this subject will deny that procreation is lost sooner by those falling into improper
habits than by prudent? Besides being deprived of the pleasure of healthy ofl
springs, the most serious and destructive symptoms of both mind and body arise.
The system becomes deranged, the physical and mental functions weaken. Loss of
procreative powers, nervous irritability, dyspepsia, palpitation of the heart, indi
gestion, constitutional debility, wasting of the frame, cough, consumption and death.
A CURE WARRANTED.
Persons ruined in health by unlearned pretenders who keep them trifling month
after month taking poisonous and injurious compounds, should apply immediately.
DR. FISHBLATT
Graduate of one of the most eminent colleges of the United States, has effected some
of the most astonishing cures that were ever known; many troubled with ringing in
the ears and head when asleep, great nervousness, being alarmed at certain sounds,
with frequent blushing, attended sometimes with derangement of the mind were
cured immediately.
TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE.
Dr. F. addresses all those who have injured themselves bv improper Indulgence
and solitary habits which ruin both mind and body, unfitting them for business,
study, society or marriage.
These are some of the sad, melancholy effects produced bv the earlv habits of
youth, vix: Weakness of the back and limbs, pains in the head and dimness of
sight, loss of muscular power, palpitation of the heart, dyspepsia, nervous irritabll-
ity, derangement of digestive functions, debility, consumption, etc.
