Last NIGHTS Dispatches.
XIV CONGRESS
SENATE

SENATE,
WASHINGTON, May Ex-senator Nc
Pherson explained and advocated the ami
NAL transportation bill.
Senator Maxey opposed the last clause
OF the bill, which authorizes the commis
sioners of agriculture to appoint an in.
spector at each port from which live stock
and dressed animals are exported, who
shall inspect all animals offered for export,
and if found in good health give the owners
or shippers certificate to that effect, and
whose salary shall be 800 per annum.
He thought such officers should be ap-
pointed by the president, by and with the
advice and consent of the senate, The
clause also provides that the commission
ers of agriculture may fix fees for inspec
ton to be paid by the owner or shipper.
As representative of great cattle pro
duclng State, he protested against this
direct tax on the export of cattle.
Senator Voorhees, moved to strike out
the clause above referred to, though he
supported the bill in the main. These
inspectors would have too much power; :;
they could ruin shipper by Withholding
a ceruhcate, and they could receive brlbes
TOT giving certificates for diseased cattle.
western cattle are not diseased, but be-
come infected in the stock yards in eastern
parts, and any additional delay there
would increase the liability to disease
For this same reason acertifcate of health
given to cattle that spend only a short
time in these ports would be worthless, be
cause the disease incurred there nigh
exist in germ and be developed while OF
the vessel. No foreign country would DC
lcept certificates of our inspectors. Gov
ernments are jealous in these matters, an(
depend only on their own officers. Eng
land has found it necessary to schedule
lagaiust certain countries, America iuclud
lea, where diseases among cattle exist
Disease can only be eradicated by quaran
tine and health regulations.
j Senator Mcpherson said he would no
insist on the retention of the clause, a
that was not the principal object OF tn
bill.
Il Without further action the Senate ad
journed.

An officer Of Philadelphia is in the city
looking up evidence against Edward Parr
who Is under arrest for the murder of his
daughter in that city three or four weeks
ago. This Parr has terrible history. He
left Philadelphia some seven years ago on
account of some prosecution pending
against him and came to Henry county
settling near Kewanee with his family
Some two years afterward his daughter
gave birth TO a child for which he was ar
rested, as it had been known for some
time what their relations were. A change
OF venue brought him to this county
where ne was convicted of incest and SEN
tences to Joliet peHitentiary for FIVE years;
at the same term of court he was convict
ed OF burglary and Is months was added
to his term of residence at Joliet. The
daughter was also sentenced to the peni-
tentiary for one year, and, on being re-
leased at the expiration Of her term of
sentence, she went to Philadelphia and
made home by her own work for herself
and two younger sisters and a young
brother for a year or so when she mar
red. She continued to care for the child
rem till the oldest girl was married and the
boy was able to go to work, the other SIS
ter was still living with her at the time ol
the murder, Since her release from the
peuiteutlary events have transpired show
ing that she was not willing party to the
; crimo for which she was sent to the peni
I tentiary.
The old villain, by good behavior, wa
released at the expiration Of four years
and Immediately went to Philadelphia
where he made an attempt upon the lif
iof his daughter husband and was sent t
the penitentiary for one year. On bein
released he returned to Philadelphia, an
by some means secured the arrest of hi
daughters husband for thirty days. Dur
ling this time his daughter moved int
, another part Of the city with her sister, i
lorder to keep out Of his way. By hirin
lboys to hunt for her in that portion of tn
I lefty he found her. By precipitous figt
they escaped and went to the house of
friend. By the same means he learne
iher whereabouts and while sitting in tn
next house. into which he had forced b

Mr.. Editor:
The fates are doing some pretty bad
spinning for the present corresponding sec
retary. Last evening was the second
rainy evening, and it becomes her duty to
announce to the public that on these even
ings there were small audiences and short
programmes, which cause much distrae-
tion and an extra loss of finger nails and
penholders, which are unwittingly devoured
in frantic exertions to think up something
to say.
Last evening, after some debate as to
whether we proceed with our programme.
it was executed as follows: Reading by
Miss Clara Smell; Trio by Messrs, P. T.
Lillis, G. Searle, aud Miss Nj. Searle:
Trip to Kansas, by Philip SeItman; Reci-
tation by Ida Netzer.
There being but two debaters present,
and they both upon the same side of the
question. the debate was dropped.
Next Saturday evening, aside from our
programme, Mr.. L. M, Haverstlck will
deliver a short lecture upon astronomy.

The Physical Paradox.

It has been said that "the blood is the
source of life." 1t is as truly the source
of disease and death. No life, that is to
say, no healthy tissue can be generated
from impure blood, no organ of the body
can normally perform its functions when
supplied with impure blood. The fluid
that should carry life and health to every
part, carries only weakness and disease.
Blood is the source of life only when it is
pure. II it has become diseased. it must
be oleansed By proper medication, else
every pulsation of the human heart sends
a wave of disease through the system. Tc
