The Hooper com pany says that thla arrangement leaves them out almost entirely and charges the Fremont company with bad faith. The Arlington company is also opposed to It, characterising it as a sell-out to tha Bell people. On the other hand, the Fremont company claims that the consolidated com pany will be able to connect with all lines now belonging to both the Independent snd Bell people, but whether they will be per mitted to do this by the Independent com panies la a serious question.

DEBATE ON SOLDIER'S HOME Heath. Dakota Legislators Have a Warm Time Ortp tha Meaanre. PIERRE, S, D., Jan. 81. (Special Tele gram.) In the house today Vanosdel con tinued his fight against the Soldiers' Home bill by moving the Indefinite postponement of any further consideration of the bill, as It yet provided for tsklng the pension money of the old soldiers; it placed con trol of any money which came Into their hands under tha commandant and board and thst would make trouble; that the board was not always to be trusted. This called out a sharp reply from Brown of Sanborn, who charged misstatements of facts in the remarks of the Yankton mem ber and that the donation of 1100 a year for each member of the home by the na tional government required such an enact ment and that the members of the home were not protesting. Clark also opposed Vanosdel's motion, which was voted down, and the bill made a special order for Feb ruary ft. The house then went Into committee of the whole to discuss the capltol building bill, which discussion soon resolved itself into a running fire of questions as to the possibilities of the bill and the methods of meeting the expenses. Sutherland ex plained the provisions of the bllL after which Scott, Brown of Sanborn, Heball, Clark, Browne of Brown, Daly, Hornby, Vanosdel, Countryman and Holman took part, the general sentiment being In favor of some action, if it could be shown that the funds could be secured without a gen eral state tax and that the amount of 81,000,000 asked was too much. The com mittee reported the bill back for further consideration. A few new bills were presented, the principal one being by Clark to reduce oil Inspection fees, by Brown of Sanborn re quiring full warranty deed to property be fore any state money for buildings be expended upon tracts, by Hornby requiring hall insurance companies to deposit guar anty funds with the state treasury before doing business In this state.

ARMY BILL TO CONFERENCE Hsute Befnsea to Agree to Amendment Be f-arding Pay ef Betired Officers. SENATE DISCUSSES STATEHOOD BILL Meaanre la Paased Placing Tax ea Capital Steek ( Cerperntloas Incorporated In District f Colombia. WASHINGTON. Jan. 31. The treatment by General Nelson A. Miles of Jefferson Davis, president of the confederacy, during the time he waa a prisoner at Fortress Monroe, Vs., was recalled in th bouse to day, when Mr. Williams of Mississippi, the minority leader, tried to secure the adop tion of the senate amendment to the house provision regarding retired officers serving with the state militia. Messrs. Hull of Iowa and Hay of Virginia, both memWt. of the military affairs committee. Indorsed the house provision making It retroactive. The latter declared It was democratic doc trine to aave money and for that reason called upon democrats to stand by them. It was at this Juncture that Mr. Williams arose and spoke of the action of General Miles In placing shackles on the ankles of Jefferson Davis. He shared, he said, the opinion of southern men as to that, but he did not think it waa the time, the place nor the way to get even. Mr. Williams' motion to agree to the senate amendment, which doea not make the law concerning retired officers retroactive waa lost 79 to 171. All the other amendments were nonconcured In. The bill then was sent to conference. As In the case of other appropriation bills Mr. Llttlefleld (Me.) called attention to the vast sum called for by the postofflce bill. $1,000.000. IT, he said, appropriations were to be kept at their present slse, there would be on Julv 1 a deficit of 81.000,000. If the amounts were not to be reduced they' have to be met by Increased taxation. Mr. Overstreet (Ind.), in charge of the bill, said that the various Items In the bill were Justified by existing conditions. ' 'How do you propose to raise the reve nues If your party Intends to stand pat?" inquired Mr. Cowherd (Mo.) of Mr. Little field, adding that Mr. Llttlefleld stood high In the councils of the administration and ought to know. The reply waa that "the gentleman from Maine Is not advised as to what the Inten tion of his party 1," asserting that he was In favor of retrenchment in the matter of appropriation Mr. Payne (N. T.), the majority leader. said that Mr. Llttlefleld had drawn too strong a picture of the state of the treasury on July 1 next, becsuse it had been shown that the revenues during the last two or three months had been Increasing. Mr. Payne would not commit himself In reply to questions by Mesera Minor (Wist) snd Gaines (Tenn.) as to whether the house would pass a public building bill and a river and harbor bill, but said that the present session would be brought to a close with appropriations for the next fiscal year that would be within the government's in come. Mr. Ransdell CLa.) delivered a long sr- gument In support of a proposed amend ment to the bill granting the franking privilege to state or territorial departments of education on matter addressed to any school or school official.

SI The senate to day continued the consideration of the Joint statehood bill with Mr. Nelson ss the principal speaker.

In tha senate today a bill passed prohibiting express companies engaged In Interstate and foreign commerce from carrying obscene literature. It extends to other carriers the provisions regulating the transmission of such mat. ter through the malls. The bill bad passed the house. During the early hours of the session of the senate today there were several echoes of the president's message of yesterday calling attention to abuses under the cor poration laws of the Dlstriot of Columbia. In addition to a bill Intended to correct the existing evils, which waa Introduced by Senator Piatt of Connecticut, the senate passed a bill intended to restrict the num ber of new corporations and removing the temptation to excessive capitalization. This it is proposed to do by requiring the pay ment of a fee of 40 cents on every thou sand dollars of capital stock of new cor poratlona The day for a vote on the statehood bill having been fixed, the opponents of the bill failed to manifest their customary readiness to speak, but Senator Nelson filled the gap with a speech In support of the bill as it stands. He contended espe cially that there was no foundation for the claim that the people east of the Mis sissippi river were sntagonistlo to those west of it. He congratulated the people of the west upon having those of the east to aid them In maintaining the proper equili brium. "We of the west have a little of the cowboy In us still," he said, "and at times we are Inclined to ride too rapidly, and It Is well to have a balance wheel. The passage attracted the attention of Mr. Bailey, who suggested: "When the sen ator feels this wild Impulse tingling in his blood he can find restraint, if lie will make application at the White house." The senate, at 3:fo p. m., went into ex ecutive session and adjourned five minutes later. DESIRE RATES TO BE FIXED Senate romnillln .ieara Witness on Subject of Refrigeration ot Cars. u-mmvoTON. Jan.

She, holds somethtnff back, loaee he head, becomes ag-itated. forg-cts whit she want to aay, and finally conceal a what ah ong-ht to have told, and thus) completely mystifies the dootor. Is it any wonder, therefore, that tha doctors fail to cure the disease J Still we cannot blame the woman, for it ia very embarrassing to detail some of th symptoms of her suffering', even to hal family physician. It was for this reason that veers eg Mrs. PInkham, at Lynn, Mass., de termined to step In and help her aesx. Having had considerable experience la treating female ilia with her Vegetable Compound, ahe encourag-ed the womea of America to write to her for advice ia regard to their complaints, and being woman, it was easy for her ailinr sla ters to pour into her ears every detail of their suffering. In this way she was able to do foe them what the physicians were unable to do, simply because she had tha proper information to work upon, anS from the little group of women who sought her advice years ago a great army of her fellow-beings are to-day constantly applying for advioe and re lief, and the fact that many thou sanda of them have been cored by following the advice of Mrs. Pinkham during the last year ia indicative of tha grand results whjch are produced by her tinequaled experience and training1. No physician in the world haa had' such a training, or haa such an amount of information at hand to assist in tha treatment of all kinds of female tils, ' from the simplest local Irritation to t the most complicated womb diseases, This, therefore, is the reason why Mrs. Pinkham, in her laboratory at Lynn, Mass., ia able to do more for the) ailing women of America than the family physician. Any woman, there fore, Is responsible for her own Buffer ing who will not take the trouble to write to Mrs. Pinkham for advice. The testimonials which we are con stantly publishing from grateful wo men establish beyond a doubt the power of LyriiaE. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound to conquer female disease.
