I
Senator Thurston Describes the Feel'os OD :
the Matter In \VI\AIIllIlton.
General Solicitor John M. Thurston , who
March 4 will become United. 'States ' senator
from Nebraska , has Just returned from New
York. Speaking of the general talk going on
'
relative to an' extra session of congress , he
saidOIt : Is only one chance In ten thousand
that the president wlU call an extra session.
Wllen I left New York ' It was generally con-
ceded that , with the passage of the appropriation -
tion bills all reason for an extra session
would be dispelled It Is generally under-
stood that no legIslation with any show of
opposition will be attempted from thIs on to
the end ot the present .congress. The presi-
dent seems to be provided with sufficient leg-
Isatlon'to ] Issue bonds' , and as these do not
fall due for thirty years , there seems to be
little _ reason for anxiety on the part of the
'
executive head. ' U an extra session was
called It might result disastrously to the executive -
ecutive head , and no , , one realizes this more
than "the president himselt l . I do not want
an extra session , and , I believe , that Is the
feeling with the people , for little good to . the
president would come of It. "
Senator Thurston , Mrs. Thurston General
and Mrs. Cowin and Winslow S. Pierce will
leave Thursday In a special car for Portland
to be present at the hearing for a separate
receiver of the Oregon Short Line and Utah
Northern companies , whIch will be heard
, by Judge Gilbert March 6.

CONFERENCE ON COAL RATES
. -
It Has Been Called for Tomorrow at the
. Millard Hotel
-
ROADS THAT WILL BE REPRESENTED
Some l'rUlll'ect tllI\t the Controversy of
Three Years , \gra\ntecl by the Iteeent
Action of the Union 1'lcUle ,
2I10J' Ito Bettlod.
For mOre than three years railroads In thlll
section have been more or less Interested In
coal rates , but so diverse have been the Interests -
terests and 00 vital the problems requIring
solution at the hands ot general managers
that coal rates have been the subject of con-
tro\'ersy without any unanImous agree-
meat In aU 'tbe year ! . However , the recent
flurry In coal rates on the part of the railroads -
roads has brought about a meeting whIch
will l bo held In this cay on Wednesday , at the
Millard , representatives at the Denver & Rio
Grande , the Hock island , D. & 111" , Chicago ,
Burlington & Quincy , Missouri PacIfic , I.'re-
mont , Elkhorn and Missouri Valley and the
Union Pacillc having signified a d03ro ! to attend . I '
tend and attempt a solution of tire problem
When the Unlcn l'aclfic made the cut on
Rock Springs coal 1 the rellueton : was promptly
met by the D. & M. and Roclt Island. This
reduction was followed later by a. similar cut
on Ilanna coal , the ulllierstanding being that
the Omaha consumer would receive the bene- ,
lit of the reduction , but aL a meeting of the
representatives ot tim coal departmEnt of this
Union Pacillc It was decided not 10 gIve the
benefit of the cut to the consumer until after
the meeting of Wednesday.
A representative of the freight de-
Ilartment of the D. & M. said to a Dee
man : "Wo never lead In matters of this
kind , but with cuts in freight rates Inaugu-
rated wo stay by our guns until matters are
finally adjusted. When the Union Paelnc
began the war on coal rates we saw . that
notw1t'.lstandlng the emergency nature of
their new tariff they were not , 1I11plying the
cut for the benefit of Omaha consumers , and
wo decided to give the consumers of Sheridan
coal the benellt. This Is the position In
which the coal question now stands. "
On the other hand , the Union Pacific expressed -
pressed the idea that something , definite
would be the outcome of the meeting on
Wednesday , which opinion Is not shared by
some of the other roads , parties , . , to the con-
'
ference.

The question ot retrenchment of expenses
Is still bothering the brains ot the county
commlsslonel't ! . Yesterday they heM an-
other session as IL commltteo ot the whole.
Nothing very definite has been Ilechiell upon ,
except that under no circumstances will they
cut salaries This proposition was made In
one ot the secret meetings , but Mr. Jenkins ,
who was really opposed to such n course ,
agreed , providing tho' cut would bG com-
melccd on the salarIes ot the commissioners
themselves. lie and those who are opposed
to a reduction of pay do not consider It
just to lower the pay at other emplo'es Dt
the county and keel ) their own pay as It Is
at present This little argument silenced
the advocates ot reduction instantly The
majority are ot the opinion that salaries are
much lower than they ought to be even
now , and 1I1stead ot being lowered they
shou1l1 ( In scme and even many cases be In-
creased.
Tile plan now beinir ! considered Is the cutting
oft of all unnecessar imeip Time commls-
IIloners are taking imp each of the county
offices separately , and are dlllgenlly search-
Jng for evidences ! ot Incompetency In em-
plo'es , or other reasons for dispensing with
their eervlces. This Is the only way they
can see of economizing , and they have , there-
tore , determined upon adopting It. So far
they have not determined ! ! upon dropping anyone -
one , but they are pretty certain to do so be-
tore , the meeting of next Wednesday.

A CONFIDENTIAL CHAT
bctwccn two mcn or womcn generally develops the fact that one or both
of them arc troubled by sickness of some kind One I\lan is all right
except his rhctUIHltisl1t1 another has a II slight touch II of dyspepsia I an- .
other has bilious headaches and anothcr is too ncrvous to sleep well. ' '
Whatls to bc done about it ?
The situation is serious. Little things have a way of getting big.
Dig diseases are bad things. Sleeplessness brings irritable nerves , loss of
flesh , loss of appetite. Sleepless people soon get their bodies into such n
condition that disease-germs find it easy to lodge there nut ! propagatc.
People die from the aggravation of an aggregation of little things. The
more promptly a disease or disorder is met the more quickly it is curcd.
Most all sickness starts in the stomach , liver or lungs. Rhcumatsm ,
scrofula , eczema , consumption , conic about because insufccnt , impure
or impoverished blood is present The things we eat and breathe are
what make blood pure or impure. The diseased blood finds the weakest
spot in thc body and a local symptom appears I the impurity is sup-
planted with good , rich , red , hcalhy corpuscles , the disease wi have
nothing to feed on I the proper cleansing medicine is sent to the scat
of the trouble , it wi force out the germs and repair the damage done
