The Board of Trade conlmlttee recently
appointed ) by Mayor Jennings under the di
rection of the city council will hold Its first
meeting tonight at the city hall and Chalr-
mnn E. F Test Is anxious that all the mem
bers attend. The meeting Is for the pur
pose of organizing the committee nnd out
lining the work It Is to take up In promot

some fear expressed that the committee
would como In conflict with the Merchants'
and Manufacturers' association mid that
there was now no need of such n commit
tee , since the former association has been
reorganized nnd taken a new lease of
life. General Test , who Is chairman both
of the Board of Trade committee and of
the executive committee of the Merchants'
and Manufacturers' association , docs not
look at it In this light. Ho Ea > s :
"Thcro Is no occasion for any conflict be
tween the Board of Trade committee and the
Merchants' and Manufacturer association.
They can work together in everything that

The ordlnnncc providing mice and regula
tions to prevent tha spread ot contiglous
nnd Infectious diseases nnd for the quaran
tine of persons Infected or exposed to ouch
dlserfs-cs , passed by the council last Monday
nlfiht , went Into effect yesterday The local
health authorities do not Intend , however ,
enforcing this ordinance In cases of measles ,
the measure having been passed more for
< he purpose of preventing a spread of small
pox In the city
The rules of the State Board of Health
do not require that n rigid quarantine should
be maintained In the case of measles , but
that the members of the household in which
the disease exists should tnko all ordinary
precautions to prevent oxpcslng others to It
In nil cases ot measles the local health
authorities require that nil the children In
the family where the disease- exists shall
be kept out of school until the quarantine
la removed from the promises. The mem
bers of the family are not , however , com
pulled to stay within the house , neither le
the head of the family or othora required to
stay away from the place where ho or the }
may bo working or employed.
The ordinance that went Into effect yea-
terdny rcqulrra In nil cases of Infectious
diseases , under which head measles Is listed ,
Unit nil persona who have been exposed or
Infected shall remain upon their premises
nnd are ntrlctlj forbidden to associate wither
or expose other citizens. This , however ,
as before stated , will not bo enforced in the
case of measles. Ever since the ordinance
was published Inquiries have been made nt
the city hall by persons having measles In
their fnmtly as to whether Its provisions
were intended to npply to their cases.
One provision of the ordinance will , bow-
over , bo carried out In the case of measles
which Involves considerable extrn work for
the city cleric , and that is the ono relating
to the public library nnd the taking of
books from same by members of a family
in which n case of infectious or contagious
disease exists. Under the ordinance the
duty now devolves upon the city clerk to fur
nish tha librarian with the name nnd resi
dence of all persons reported to the Board
of Health as having or being Infected with
contagious diseases. The ordinance further
provides that no books shall be nllowcd to
be token from the library to the houses
where persons infected with contagious dis
eases reside and also that no books shall
be received Into the library from houses
where any case of Infectious disease exists.
The rigid enforcement of this latter pro.
vision of the ordinance would result In n
large loss to the library , as there Is a large
number ot books at present In circulation at
the houses where children arc sick , with
measles.
Mayor Jennings and other members of the
Board of Health , when asked as to this ,
stated that they did not believe there was
any necessity for rigidly enforcing this lat
ter provision of the ordinance , hut wcro
of the opinion that no more books should
be allowed to bo taken from the library by
members of any family where a case of
measles existed.

WASHINGTON' , Feb. jO. The Samoan
trouble Is assuming a somewhat now phase ,
according to the view ot leading diplomatic
authorities and one likely to bring about
an adjustment on lines not heretofore con
templated , This Is In part foreshadowed In
the official statement of the parliamentary
secretory in the House of Commons yesterday -
terday to the effect that further informa
tion would be awaited before considering
the recognition of Mataafn us king ; of Samoa ,
Mataafa Is not the claimant who has thus
far received the support of the British and
American authorities , as they have upheld
Malletoa Tanus , who had been declared by
Chief Justice Chambers , un American , us
rightfully entitled to the throne. Whllo the
announcement In thci House of Commons Is
open to various Interpretations , yet It seems
to Imply quite clearly that the recognition
of Mataufa , who was upheld by the Ger
mans , may be taken Into consideration

sccrctnr > Includes In the correspondence a
letter from President McKlnlcy to Chairman
W .de of the evacuation committee , dated
January 12 , calling attention to the report
that the local authorltlre vcrc preparing to
put up for auction franchises covering the
rights to construct railroads to the most Im
portant parts of the Island of Cuba. In the
course of his letter the president sajs
It cannot be permitted that the persons
nominally rep'oscntlng the remnants ol
Spanish government there ehall in thlt
manner sell the frnnchlbcw of the countrj
'nnd ' commit the future government of tha
island to obligations ot such Importance
< The existing Spanlnh authority in Cuba Is

I It ib merely a violation of good faith for
I three otllclnls to attempt uiidor the guise of

He then instructed C.pncral Wnclc , if

WASHINGTON , Teb 10. At tonight's ses
sion of the house thirty-one private pen
sion bills wcro pas&od. Among them were
the senate bill to pension Lelltla Tjler
Semplf , the daughter ot President Tjler , nnd
the senate bill 1o pension ex-Senator Palmer
of Illinois at the rate of $60 $ a month.
The amount carried by the bill to pension
Mrs. Semplo wxis reduced from $50 lo $30
per month. In the course ot dlsc\is ion on
the "bill to pension General Pnlmcr It < lo-
\cloped that ho was absolutely without
means and u.is practically blind. Mr.
Urucker , democrat of Michigan , recalled the
fact that Geneml Palmer had iedrr'tliecan -
dld.ito of the gold democrats for president
in 1806 and suggested thnt that might ac
count for the fact that thf bill was pushed
through within a month after Us intro
duction. Mr. Talbot ot South Carolina
moved that the pension bo paid in silver.
"General PaJmer is infavor of sound
money , " said he ; "let us pay him in gooa
old silver of the constitution "
The motion was not entertained by Mr.
Connelly , republican ot Illinois , who was
in the chair.
At 10 30 the liotise adjourned.

Still reasoned that a natural flow of blood
Is health ; and disease Is the effect of local or
general disturbance of the blood ; that to
excite nerves causes muscles to contract and
compress venous flow of blood to the heart ,
and the bones could be used as levels to
relieve pressure on nerves , veins and ar
teries.
A slight strain or a sudden Jolting maj

on the nerves , thus breaking the nerve wave

It Ii wonderful what suffering women can bear. Thousands
of them silently endure terrible ajony month after month , year
after year. And the most of their pains and troubles come
from one cause , derangement in the delicate rnenstrual organs.
The least disorder of this important function affects the whole
body. It causes headache and side ache and pains in the legs ,
shoulders , breasts , abdomen. No part of the body seems to be
free from pain when there is serious menstrual trouble. But
McElree's Wine of Cardui stops women's pains. U corrects
female troubles by putting the menstrual organs in proper con
dition. Then this important function operates painlessly. No
wonder that makes women very happy. If you prefer health teL
