replete with quotation and illustration, was
listened to with the deepest Interest and
closest attention by an audlcnco which
filled the large hall.
The message tnat the speaker sought to
convey to the young men and women about
to leave the high school to enter the world
with Its multitudinous cares and tempta
tions was that If they remained true to
their Ideals they would be bound to suc
ceed and to make their Uvea what God's
wish for them was. While Itev. Mr. Wiley
took as his text Oenesls ir.xlx. "And they
said one to another, behold this dreamer
eometh," It might aptly have been, "What
Can I Dor
"Success comes In 'cans,' failure In
'can't.' The one who Is faithful to the
end is going to get the reward. Fortune
knocks once at every man's door. Se to
It that you are at home. Stand for truth
and fear not a little ridicule; be true to
ycurselves and to your Ood and success
will be yours In this world you are now
about to enter.

WA81HNGTON, May SO. The plana of
republlcanleaders in congress have gone
awry so many times In the last several
weeks that they are chary of announcing
any program for the remaining days of tho
present session or of speculating on how
long that period is likely to be.
In the senate the men In charge of the
"railroad bill would have staked their repu
tations upon the certainty that there would
be a final voto upon it before the end of
last week. In the house the republican cau
cus continued for three nights In succes
sion for the purpose of perfecting the postal
savings bank bill, but an agreement was
not reached and one Is not in sight. The
caucus will be resumed next Wednesday
night.
The situation In connection with tho rail
road was complicated by the introduction ot
an amendment relating to mergers of rail
roads which was offered by Senator Brown
of Nebraska, just before the adjournment
on Friday. The provision contains all of
the prohibitive features of the original
section 13, and none of the advantages for
the railroads contained In tho section
struck out. So involved did the situation
become that the leaders hastily adjourned
the session expecting to resume consider
ation of the bill yesterday, but tha speech
ot Senator Lorlmer prevented. The sena
tors in charge of the bill do not want the
Brown amendment, but it may be difficult
for them to defeat It. It Is not likely that
it will result in the leaders making further
concessions to the Insurgents.
The railroad bill will be taken up again
by the senate on Tuesday and the final vote
may be had on that day, although there
Is no certainty about It.
There is a contest between advocates ot
statehood and conservation measures as to
what class of legislation shall next be con
sidered. The supporters of the public land
withdrawal bill will not give way to tb

A number of young people attended a
put the statehood bill through at this ses
sion. They think that the differences be
tween the senate and house bills are Ir
reconcilable and that It would bo a waste
ot time to send the measure to conference.
About the only supporters of Immediate
statehood in the senate are on the demo
cratic side, and they want the house bill
passed, as that would mean statehood for
Arizona and New Mexico In time for the
fall elections, and they think It would
mean four additional democratic senators.
The senate bill, which Is favored by re
publican senators, would merely authorise
the territories to take the preliminary
steps and would not make it possi
ble for them to be admitted to the union
of states until congress had approved their
proposed constitutions.
Even it the postal savings bank bill
should pass the nouse and successfully
emerge from the conference, It is believed
that It would be a long time before any
postal banks could be established under Its
provision. The sundry civil bill doc not
contain an appropriation to put the postal
banks in force, and some of the bouse
leader are responsible for a report that
this legislation will be Ignored In the gen
eral deficiency bill.

The cause of EheumatUm Is cm ezceas of uric acid lu the blood. The

Btlpation, weak kidneys, and other systemic irregularities. Then the blood be

When in this Impure condition the blood can not furnish the necessary amount of
nourishment to the different muscles, tendons, nerves and ligaments of the body.
Instead it constantly steeps them in the briny acrid matter, and the gritty, urate
particles collect in the joints, which, causes the pains, aches and soreness of
Bheumatlsm. Liniments, plasters, etc. may relieve the acute pain of an attack

have no permanent good effect. There Is but one way to cure Eheumatlsm and
that is to purify the blood of the acid poison. 8. 8. 8. goes into the circulation

Is the greatest of all blood purifiers. It flltors out every trace of the sour, in
flammatory matter, cools the acid-heated circulation, adds richness and nourish
ment to the blood and permanently cures Eheumatlsm. 8. 8. 8. does not patch
