CONGRESS WILL EKD
THIS WEEK-WILL PROBABLY SEE
THE WINDUP.
THE WORK WILL BE RUSHED
Democrats and Progressives Want
Quick Action With the Object
of Getting Home.
Washington. The whole tariff re
vision legislation question will be set
tled this week, which in all probabili
ty will mark the closing of congress.
Almost all of the members of both
houses are anxious to get home, de
spite the vociferations of the revision
ists that they willingly would remain
in session until autumn if the legisla
tion they want could be enacted.
All the power of the democratic par
ty, and of the effective democratic
progressive republican coalition in the
senate will be centered on quick ac
tion in the trio of pending tariff meas
ures. This means, in the belief of
leaders of both parties, an adjourn
ment possibly by the end of the week,
or at any rate, within a few days
thereafter.
Out of the present tangled situation,
with the three tariff bills wool, free
list and cotton, varying stages of leg
islation, the wool measure will be the
first to emerge. A complete agree
ment between the two houses has
been reached on this bit of legisla
tion, which provides for a basic aver
age duty of 29 per cent ad valorem on
raw wool, with the wool classification
provisions identically as framed by
Democratic Leader Underwood of the
house, making a flat tariff on all
wools. It will be rushed past its final
stage in the house by adoption of the
conference report Monday and then
hurried over to the senate for adop
tion there, if possible, Tuesday, and
then on to the expected presidential
veto, which awaits all the tariff revi
sion bills.
Everything hinges on that veto and
the immediately subsequent move in
the house. The democratic leaders
are sure of the passage of the bill
over the president's veto in the house
but are doubtful of the outcome in the
senate. Passage over a veto requires
a two-thirds majority.
The free list bill and the cotton bill
are still hung up. The conferees on
the free list have disagreed to the
single house amendment, adding
lemons to the free list and to the
Kern senate amendment limiting free
importation of meat and cereal pro-;
ducts to those countries which have
reciprocal trade arrangements with
the United States. They have agreed
on all the other amendments and the
conference report will be presented to
both houses Monday. There will be
a give and take outcome, with a pos
sibility of each side receding and con
curring with the other's amendments
so as to obviate the necessity of send
ing the free list bill back to confer
ence. EXTENDING POSTAL BANKS.
System Will Be Inaugurated in All the
Big Cities.
Washington. Encouraged by the
successful trial for two weeks of pos
tal savings systems in the great post
offices of New York, Chicago, St,
Louis and Boston, Postmaster Gen
eral Hitchcock has decided to extend
the system rapidly to all the large
cities of the country and designated
as postal savings depositories, Pitts
burg, Detroit. Buffalo. San Francisco.
Cincinnati, Kansas City, Seattle, In-
dianapolis, Denver and Portland, Ore.
Many Lost in Typhoon.
Victoria, B. C. More than 500 lives

ashore and afloat resulted from a ty
phoon and tidal wave which swept

brought here by the Empress of Japan.
The fishing fleets from Shidzouka suf
fered severely. More than 200 fisher
men were drowned.
Death of Congressman.

ry C. Loudenslager died at his resid
ence here. Mr. Loudenslager had
been ailing for a long time. He was
afflicted with a complication of dis
eases and was later attacked by ty
phoid fever.
Big Liabilities, No Assets.
New York. William F. Beal filed a
voluntary petition in bankruptcy, giv
ing liabilities of $1,090,000. and no as
sets other than a law suit for the re
covery of $40,000.
Investigate Senator's Election.
Washington. A legislative inquiry
into alleged irregularities in the elec
tion of United States Senator Isaac
Stephenson of Wisconsin was directed
in a resolution adopted by the senate.
Togo's Gift to Roosevelt.
New York. Admiral Togo, hero of
the sea, paid a warrior's tribute to
Colonel Roosevelt, moving spirit in
the peace of Portsmouth. Apparently
Roosevelt, the fighter, had appealed
to the Japanese admiral rather than
Roosevelt, the peacemaker, for when
he marched up Sagamore bill to meet
the former president, he carried Mr.
Roosevelt a two-foot miniature of a
suit of armor. This souvenir was done
in glistening metal with exquisite
workmanship, enclosed in a mahog
any box.
More Trouble at Des Moines.
Des Moines. la. Renewed hostili
ties in the street car strike situation
are expected as a result of the latest
development in the demand of the
union workers for amendments to the
working agreement. The men have
demanded an audience with General
Manager Harrigan for a conference
on the proposed changes. He has re
quested that negotiations be in writ
ing. The union men say that their
best interests require a personal
meeting and have again demanded
that such be granted.

QUEER DISEASE 6
III UNITED STATES
Many Here Afflicted With Odd
Ailment, Says Prof.
Munyon.
GREWSOME CREATURES
VERY COMMON,
FINDS EXPERT.
Many people fa the United States an
afflicted with a queer disease, according
to a statement yesterday by Professor
James M. Munyon. He made the follow
ing remarkable and rather grewsozne
statement: J
"Many persons who come and write to
my headquarters at 53d and Jefferson
Sts.. Philadelphia. Pa., think they are
suffering from a simple stomach trouble,
when in reality they are the victims of
an entirely different disease that of
tape worm. These tape worms are huge
internal parasites, which locate in the
upper bowel and consume a large per
centage of the nutriment in undigested
food. They sometimes grow to a length
of forty to sixty feet. One may have a
tape worm for years and never know
the cause of his or her ill health.
"Persons who are suffering from one
of these creatures become nervous, weak
and irritable, and tire at the least ex
ertion. The tape worms rob one of am
bition and vitality and strength, but they
are rarely fatal.
"The victim of this disease Is apt to
believe that he 1s suffering from chronic
stomach trouble, and doctors for years
without relief. This is not the fault of
the physicians he consults, for there Is
no absolute diagnosis that will tell posi
tively that one to not a victim of tape
worn.
"The most common symptom of this
trouble to an abnormal appetite. At
times the person to ravenously hungry
and cannot get enough to eat. At other
limes the very sight of food is loathsome.
There is a gnawing, faint sensation at
the pit of the stomach, and the victim
has headaches, flts of dizziness and nau
sea. He cannot sleep at night and often
thinks he to suffering from nervous pros
tration. "I have a treatment which has had
wonderful success In eliminating these
great creatures from the system. In the
course of its regular action In aiding
digestion, ana naaing me oiooa. Kianeys
and liver of impurities it has proven fatal
to these great worms. If one has a tap
worm, this treatment will. In nine cases
out of ten. stupefy and pass it away, but
If not. the treatment will rebuild the
run-down person, who Is probably suffer
ing from stomach trouble and a general
anaemic condition. My doctors report
marvelous success here with this treat
ment. Fully a dozen persons have passed
these worms, but they are naturally reti
cent about discussing them, and of course
we cannot violate their confidence by giv
ing their names to the public."

START WITH BUFF LEGHORNS
Much Easier and More Satisfactory
Than Few Years Ago Get Qual
ity Rather Than Quantity.
Starting with Buff Leghorns now is
much easier and more satisfactory
than it was a few years ago. Now
prominent breeders are getting as
large a proportion of exhibition speci
mens from their matings as are the
breeders of any variety. and custom
era who are' buying eggs get good
value for the money they invest. Oi
course, one must be careful to buy
from breeders who are producing fine
birds, for breeders who are not
breeding the quality that is winning
at our prominent shows cannot sup
ply It to their customers. After get
ting the eggs and hatching the chicks
be sure to mark then all according
to the breeding pen in which the
eggs were laid; then when the chicks
mature you will know their breeding.
When you pick oat those which you
are going to keep for your founda
tion stock, if you have only one
male and one female that suit you.
you had better use only those
for the first year's breeding. It is
not quantity that the beginner wants
it is quality. Next season select
your best pullet and mate back to
the old male and mate the yearling
hen and the choicest one of the sea
son's, cockrels. These matings are
reasonably sure to produce plenty oi
quality, if you buy the eggs from a
breeder who has line bred his stock
properly.

will be readily understood, a coop oi

to the poultry farmer who ships his
chickens to market or to a poultry
store. After the live fowls have beer
disposed of a dozen of these improved
receptacles can be folded up, tied in

Importance of Pure Water.
With the thought in mind that wa
ter is by far the chief element enter
ing into the composition of an egg
is it any wonder that the water sup
ply for the poultry Ehould receive
the most careful attention, first, last
and all the time?
In fact, water composes such
very large per cent, of all poultry

no intelligent farmer can afford tc

HE HAD THEM IN A CORNER
Clergyman's Rebuke to Thought!
Youths at Once Neat and
Disconcerting.
A well-known clergyman was one
day in a barber's shop, when four or
five young men walked in whom be
knew by their voices, but who did
not recognize the man in the chair,
with lather all over bis face. They
proceeded to spend the time by tell
ing stories and using expressions
i which, to sav the least, were rather
strong. When the barber pulled away
the towel the clergyman, cleanly
shaved, stood before them. So non
plussed were they that no one tried to
take the vacant chair, and the barber
called several times: "Next gentle
man!" " The clergyman smiled somewhat
grimly as he said:
"It isn't a bit of use, John. There's
not a man here who has the effront
ery to answer to that name."
NEW STRENGTH FOR BAD BACKS.
Those who suffer with backache,
headache, dizziness and that constant,
dull, tired feeling will find comfort in
the advice of Mrs. C. S. Tyler. Cando,
N. Dak., who says:
"My back became
terribly sore and
lame. I was tired
and restless and
would arise so ex
hausted I could
scarcely dress. The
kidney secretions
were terribly annoying-
and my feet be
came so swollen I
could not wear my shoes. Nothing
helped me until I began using Doan's
Kidney Pills. They gave me prompt
relief and In a short time I was entire
ly cured."
Remember the name Doan's.

Serenity.
"The true religious man, amid all
the ills of time, keeps a serene fore
head and entertains a peaceful heart.
This, going out and coming in amid
all the trials of the city, the agony
of the plague, the horrors of the
thirsty tyrants, the fierce democracy
abroad, the fiercer ill at home the
saint, the sage of Athens, was still
the same. Such a one can endure
hardness; can stand alone and be
content; a rock amid the waves
lonely, but not moved. Around him
the few or many may scream, calum
niate, blaspheme. What is all to him
but the cawing of the seabird about
that solitary, deep-rooted stone?"
Theodore Parker.
