BY Universal Accord,

AYERS CATHARTIC PILLS are the best
Of all purgatives for family use. They
are the product of long, laborious, and
successful chemical investigation, and
their extensive use, by physicians in
their practice, and by all civilized ma
tions, proves them the best and most
efectual purgative Pill that medical
science can devise. Being purely veg
etable no harm can arise from their
use, and being sugar-coated, they are
pleasant to take. In intrinsic value
and curative powers no other Pills
can be compared with them; and every
person, knowing their virtues, will
employ them, when needed. They
keep the system in perfect order, and
maintain in healthy action the whole
machinery of life. Mild, searching and
efectual, they are especially adapted
to the needs Of the digestive apparatus,
arrangements Of which they prevent
and cure, if timely taken. They are
the best and safest physic to employ
for children and weakened constitu-
tions, where q mild but edectua
cathartic is required.
For sale by all druggists.

Nine CommIssion Bin.

The Edmundson Commission Bill
passed the house Friday morning and
was signed by the governor. On Thurs
day evening the opposition filibustered
and prevented its coming up. sMembers
refused to answer roll call and the
speaker continually ruled that he could
not recognize them as present unless
they did answer to their names. FRI
day morning the same tactics were re-
sorted to, but its friends resorted to
questionable tactics to effect its passage.
A note was handed the speaker purport-
ing to be from one of the lady clerks
asking to see him in another room.
While he was gone Mr.. Hayne was
called to the chair. the bill called up
and passed by UivG U0ce vote. The
speaker ordered the clerk to enroll the
names of members present who refused
TO answer and thus made the journal
show a quorum present. More than
five members demanded the ayes and
noes several times, but the speaker paid
no attention r0 them. The constitution
gives the right to any five members to
demand the ayes and noes on the final
passage of a bill, and when the bill ap-
propriates money or is of a general
character it cannot pass except in such
manner. This action was clearly in
violation of the constitution. Several
protests were entered. II now remains
for the courts to determine whether it
was passed legally. The bill is less OBJ
jectionable than the caucus bill and may
do little damage to our railroad inter-
ests, and possibly may correct some of
che expressions and DETERMINATIONS
complained of.

Valuable Prizes.

Nothing is more remarkable than the
unusual interest which has been taken
in astronomical matters by the Ameri-
can public during the pact two years.
To such an extent has this been true
that hundreds of people, who formerly
felt little pleasure in the subject, now
possess their telescopes and search the
heayens nightly. Desiring to still
further encourage this most laudable
ambition, | offer two hundred dollars
for each comet discovery made during
the present year, subject to the follow
ing conditions.
/, 1t may be discovered either by
telescope or the naked eye, but must be
unexpected. except as to the comet OF
1912. which will probably reappear
during the year.
D Tbe announcement of the dis
coyery must be made confidentlally and
exclusively (by telegraph) to DR.. Lewis
SU,;ft director of the Warner Observa-
torv. Rochester, N. Y, and to him only.
TIE announcement, with the name of
the discoyerer, viii be Immediately
p .bled TO Europe, announced in the as
sociated press dispatches, and sent by
sneciaI telegram 10 all the leading
American papers. 1t is essential, in
order that this may be correctly done,
that the above specifications regarding
the exclusive communication 10 Dr.
Swift be folio Fed TO the letter.
8. The telegram mast give the time
of discovery, the position and direction
of motion If possible, sufficiently exact
TO enable at least one other observer to
find it. Three disinterested astrono-
mers will be selected By DR.. Swift to
decide all disputed questions.

TheLegisIature.

The legislature adjourned last Friday
after a laborious and useful session.
Ii is usually said af.er every adjourn
ment that that legislature is the best
that has sat for years. The same is said
of this one. and in our opinion the claim
has some foundation. There was not a
single job worked or attempted on this
assembly, as far as known. This is
rather u negative compliment, to-be-
sure, but jobbing and trading and lobby
ing have become SO common that the
absence of corruption has to be counted
a virtue these days. This body Crap
pied with more important matters and
settled them more satisfactorily and
with less fear of the lobby than any
predecessor. The settlement of the
debt, the railroad commission bill, the
intermediate court bill, the gambling
bill and the Polk settlement are the
browning results. There was an i'm
mense amount OF creditable legislation
and nothing discreditable, so tar as we
know. We differ with the majority
upon the wisdom and necessity for the
commission, but we think it should be
given q fair trial and should receive the
support of the people until its inutllity
is made manifest. The manner of its
passage was questionable, but its OPP
posers are estOpped from complaining,
Tor it was their own game. 1t is un-
fortunate that it had to be passed in
such manner, for that alone will pos
sibly lead to litigation. We cannot see
either wherein the road law is bene-
fitted, though we have not examined it
closely. 1t can truly be said that they
acted honestly and sssiduously tor the
best interests of the people as they
under stood them. The commission bill
makes the name of EGmundson famous
Ballentine and Blackburn were fire.
quently seen in print in connection with
important matters and they stood high
points upon which we differ with each
of these gentlemen, but we do not care
TO raise them as it would be proftless.
