CONGRESS IS DONE
BOTH HOUSES. FINALLY GET
.THROUGH WITH WORK.
CURRENCY BILL IS PASSER
Long Filibuster, by Foraker and Others
Unsuccessful in Defeat of the
Measure.
Washington. Just ten minutes, of
ficially, before the m hands of the big
round clocks in the chambers of the
two houses of congress pointed to the
hour of midnight Saturday, the first
session of the Sixtieth congress came
to a close. w In the house the closing
hours were characterized by singing
of songs "by republicans in honor of
Speaker Cannon and by "democrats in
the Interest of "William J. Bryan. - The
excitement, which was great at times,
finally subsided and the session closed
with good fellowship among the mem
bers. As soon as It was announced in the
house that the senate had passed the
currency bill the conference report on
the omnibus building bill was present
ed by Mr. Bartholdt and it was at once
adopted. ;
The senate was extremely quiet dur
ing the closing hours, held together
only by the necessity of remaining in
session for the engrossing and signing
of bills.
The last days of the senate will be
memorable on account of the filibuster
of Messrs. La Follette, Stone and Gore
'against the emergency currency bill,
the remarkable interpretations of the
rules which go far to establish cloture
in a body noteworthy for. the freedom
of debate and by the final passage of.
the currency bill. President Rooseveit
and several of his cabinet were at the
capitol during the evening.
The passage of the government em
ployes' liability bill and the adoption
of the conference reports on the pub
lic buildings and the deficiency ap
propriation bills immediately following
final action on the Aldrich-Vreeland
compromise on the currency measure
in the senate disposed of most
of the remaining important legislation
before that body.
President Roosevelt arrived at the
capitol at 9 o'clock. He went immedi
ately to the president's room on the
senate side, where he remained in
readiness to sign the bills as passed..
Shortly before 10 o'clock he signed the
compromise currency bill and present
ed the pen he used in affixing his.
signature to Representative Wilson of
Chicago.
Previous to his signature of the cur
rency bill the president had handed it
to Secretary Coltelyou, who carefully
read its provisions. Two other mem
bers of the cabinet were- present
Secretaries Root and Garfield. The
president in conversing with several
members told them that he was very
well satisfied with the accomplish
ments of the congressional session.
An hour after his arrival at the
capitol the president had signed all the
bills placed before him, including the
public building, the general deficiency
and the government employes liability
bill.
CURRENCY COMMISSION BUSY.
Holds Meeting for Organization and
' .Roughly Outlining Its Work.
Washington The currency commis
sion appointed by Vice President Fair
banks and Speaker Cannon under the
terms of the Aldrich-Vreeland bill, held
ItB first meeting Sunday, and while the
meeting was only .for the purpose of
organization, there was a general dis
cussion cf plans, and it can be stated
that if the outline submitted by Sen
ator Aldrlch is perfected by the work
of the commission the country will be
given the benefit of such a thorough
investigation and complete an exposi
tion of currency and banking as it has
never before received.
Senator Brown Votes No.
Washington Senator Brown of Ne
braska voted against the conference
report on the currency bill, which was
adopted by 45 to 24, the republicans
voting against it being Brown of Ne
braska, Bcurne of Oregon, Borah and
Heyburn of Idaho and La Follette of
Wisconsin. In' his-vote against the
conference report Senator Brown
sought to express no sentiment except
his own in opposition to the measure.
He does net believe legislation wa3
necessary in the first place, and sec
ondly he did not like certain provi
sions of the measure. -
Tariff Sure to Be Revised.
Chicago Senator William B. Alli
son, who passed through Chicago en
route to Dubuque, la., said in an inter
view that there Was no question about
tariff revision and the question of
whether republicans or democrats
would do the revising would likely .be
the issne of the coming presidential
campaign. Mr. Allison declared the
new currency bill a gocd measure.
PRESIDENT OBSERVES THE DAY.
Government 'Departments Close Out
of Respect for Dead.
Washington President Roosevelt
and thousands of Washingtonians on
Saturday participated in the observ
ance of Memorial day. All government
departments and the principal busi
ness houses were closed and appro
priate services were held in the ceme
teries. President Roosevelt drove to
Arlington in an open surrey, taking
with him a number of floral wreaths.
Print Paper Investigation.
'Washington The wood pulp and
print paper investigation committee
of the house, which presented a pre
liminary report to that body several
days ago, will continue its investiga
tions during the recess of .congress.

KNEW WHAT THE JOB MEANT.
Angry Citizen Put Ordeal Up ta Street
Car Company.
Not long ago there entered the office
of the superintendent of a trolley line
in Detroit an angry citizen, demand
ing "justice" in no uncertain terms.
In response to the official's gentle
inquiry touching the cause of the de
mand, the angry citizen explained
that on the day previous as his wife
was boarding one of the company's
cars, the conductor thereof had
stepped on his spouse's dress, tearing
from it more than a yard of material.
"I can't see that we are to blame
for that," protested the superintendent
"What do you expect us to do, get her
a new dress?"
"No. sir, I do not," rejoined tho
angry citizen, brandishing a piece of
cloth. "What I propose is that you
people, shall match this material."

A Frenchman, who apparently has
been amusing himself by reckoning
up the number of kisses he has given
his wife during the first 20 years of
his married life.
He finds that in the first year he
dispensed about 100 kisses a day, or,
say, allowing for birthdays and legal
and church holidays, about 36,700 in
the year.
In the second year this number was
reduced by half, and la the third
year to ten a' day, while in the fifth
year his better half had to be content
with two a day, one in the morning
and one in the evening.
What happened after the fifth year
is 'wrapped in mystery," but at the'
same rate of "progression" he prob
ably arrived eventually at one kiss or
the first of January every leap year.

"Helpful Hints" That Hinder.
Many of the "helpful tints" followed
by our mothers are now proved utterly
useless, if not more harmful than
helpful. For Instance, no one now
uses moist tea leaves to clean a carpet
or rug, because of the inevitable stain
ing. And salt used on a carpet col
lects dampness and rusts the tacks.
Newspapers, dampened and torn, an
swer the purpose much more satisfac
torily. Rugs should be shaken from
the sides, for the strain of the weight
on the end is very apt to loosen the
weft.
THE FIRST TASTE
Learned to Drink Coffee When a
Baby.
If parents realized the fact that cof
fee contains a drug caffeine which
is especially harmful to children, they
would doubtless hesitate before giv
iacr the babies coffee to drink.
"When I was a child in my mother's
arms and first began to nibble things
at the table, mother used to give me
aps of coffee. As my parents used
coffee exclusively at meals I never
knew there was anything to drink but
coffee and water.
"And so I contracted the coffee habit
early. I remember when quite young,
the continual use of coffee so affected
my parents that they tried roasting
wheat and barley, then ground it in the
coffee-mill, as a substitute for coffee.
"But it did not taste right and they
went back to coffee again. That was
long before Postum was ever heard of.
I continued to use coffee until I was 27,
and when I got into office work, I be
gan to have nervous spells. Especially
after breakfast I was so nervous I
could scarcely attend to my corre
spondence. "At night, after having coffee for
supper, I could hardly sleep, and on
rising in the morning would feel weak
and nervous.
"A friend persuaded me to try Post
um. My wife and I did not .like it
at first, but later when boiled good
and strong it was fine. Now wo
would not give up Postum for the
best coffee we ever tasted..
"I can now get good sleep, am free
from nervousness and headaches. I
recommend Postum to all coffee drink,

Grain Rate Hearina Rests. "
The grain rate hearing before the t
State Railway commission . on com
plaint of Senator C. A. Sibley against
the Burlington, road. has closed. The
commission allowed J. G. Beeler, at
torney for- the complainant, forty days
in which to file briefs, .the defendant
to have thirty days to answer and the
complainants fifteen days additional
for filing reply briefs.-
The allegation of the complainant
that grain rates-In Nebraska are
Higher than rates in other states and
x 15 per cent ' reduction would not
bring them below many special rates,
voluntarily enforced by the railroads;
was made by the Burlington with a
showing that the density of tonnage is
greater in Iowa and Missouri than in
Nebraska and that some of the low
rates In this state are feeders rates
which should not be taken as compen
satory. The comparison of grain rates from
Nebraska stations to Omaha and Kan
sas City was met by the road with a
showing that grain rates to Kansas
City are forced by rates of compet
ing roads and in order to grain men
on the lines of the "Burlington that
road is forced to meet competition.

Sec. 1755 In grateful recognition of
the services, sacrifices and sufferings
of persons honorably discharged from
the military and naval services of the
country by reason of wounds, disease
or expiration of terms of enlistment;
it is respectfully recommended to
oankers. merchants, manufacturers,
mechanics, farmers and persons en
gaged in industrial pursuits to give
them the preference for appointments
to remunerative situations and em
ployments.
Afterwards confirmed by the follow
ing: "But nothing herein contained
shall be construed to take frcm those
honorably discharged from the mili
tary or naval service any preference
conferred by the 1754 section of the
Revised Statutes, nor to take from the
president any authority not inconsis
tent with this act conferred by the
1753 section of said statutes."
In carrying out the wishes and re
specting the rights of the Grany Army
they have been totally disregarded
by the present 'state authorities. And
of right we demand that the patriotic
nd humanic policies which have been
pursued by all former administrations
of this state toward the Grand Army
be recognized. And that any rurther
2ncrcachments upon these sacred
rights by the debt-paying politicians
shall cease. And that we hereby
pledge ourselves to pursue these de
mands until the last vestige of the
Jebt-paying politician shall be wiped
out, be lie senator, congressman or
governor.

BAD ITCHING HUMOR.
Limbs Below the Knees Were Raw
Feet Swollen Sleep Broken
Cured in 2 Days by Cuticura.
"Some two months ago I had a hu
mor break out on my limbs below my
knees. They came to look like raw
beefsteak, all red, and no one knows
how they itched and burned. They
were so swollen that I could not get
my shoes on for a week or more. I
used five or six different remedies and
got no help, only when applying tneni

less: For two or three weeks the suf

Then one morning I tried a bit of

Labor-Saving Device.
"Yes, siree," said the freckled lad
proudly, "my dad's a genius, he is."
"That so?" responded the weary
coffee-mill agent.
"Wall, I should say so. Dad noticed
that every time the old hound came
around Sunday mornings he began
wagging his stumpy tail."
"Anything unusual in that, sonny?"
"No, not for the hound, mister, but
dad got up the idea of attaching a
shoe brush and a whisk broom to
Bowser's tail. Now when dad is ready
to go to meetln' his shoes are shined
and the legs of his trousers are dust
ed without his moving a linger. By
gosh! Dad's got as much brains as

That Woman's Fault.
"That woman next door is really
dreadful, John," said a young married
woman to her husband. "She does
nothing but talk the whole day long.
She cannot get any work done, I'm
sure."
"Oh." remarked the husband. "I
thought she was a chatterbox. And to
whom does she talk?"
"Why, my dear, to me. of course."
was the reply. "She talks to me over
the fence."
