Ex-MayorP owderly of Scranton. Pa.
says he e believed such degradation
possible as he has just witnessed in the
Connellsville coke region of Pennsyl-
vania among the Hungarians. At one
OF the ovens he saw a woman half naked
drawing the hot coke from the chamber.
She had no covering on her head and
very little on her person. Her appear
ance was that of one whose spirit had
been broken by hardship and hard work
Her attire consisted of a coarse chemise
and pair o cowhide boots. In a freight
car close by stood another woman stow
ing the coke as it came to the car. She

In a rough, loose-fitting outer garment

what Hon. ]. c. Rurrow. ave-

FOR more than nVe years past a member of
my family has been afflicted with Hay Fever,
culminati ting late in the fall with a hacking
cough, which would increase in severity until
the return of warm weather. Every remedy
proved futile, and relief was only found in a
change of climate. There was a recurrence
of the difficulty last fall, attended with the us
ual cough and violent protracted sneezing.
Not half a bottle of PsPillion Oatarrh Cure had
been used before the cough entirely disap-
peared, and general relief followed. 1t is
simply wonderful! Don't fail to try il.

You Can't Make $500 by Reading This

even if you have chronic nasal catarrh in its
worst stages, for although this amount of re-
ward has for many years been offered by the
proprietors of DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy. for
any case of catarrh they cannot cure, yet not
withstanding that thousands use the Remedy
they are seldom called upon to pay the reward,
and when they have been so called upon they
have universally found that the failure to cure
was wholly due to some overlooked complica-
ton, usually easily removed by a slight modi-
fieation of the treatment. Therefore, if this
should meet the eye of anybody who has made
faithful trial of this great and world-famed
Remedy without receiving a perfect and per-
manent cure therefrom, that person will do
well to either call upon or write to the propri-
etors, the Worlds Dispensary Medical Associa-
ton, of Buffalo, N. Y, giving all the particulars
and symptoms in the case. By return mail
they will get good advice free of all costs.

LEGISLATIVE ROUNDUP.
Final Shape OF Important Bills-Hard
on the Fence.Cutters and Favor
ing Pa>turemen.

| Special 10 the Gazette.
Austin, January 3l.-The roundup
of the remedial measures for fence
cutting is unquestionably shaping leg
islation in the interest OF the land men,
pasturemen and ranchmen, and detri-
mental to other classes of citizens.
These interests are clearly in posses
| sion of both houses tonight, and equal
| rights and like penalties have melted
away under adroit amendments, cum
ningly-devised substitutes and fatigu-
ing peTtinacity. The road bills hang
fire, the felony fence-cutting bill is on
ragged hitch, and the bill to pro-
hibit the fencing of the lands of an
other or the school lands, is
In peril The land bill also strikes
snags at every turn, and is not vet
safely over the lurking danger of the
lathomless fancie 8 of friends and foes.
The house Is mad with the senate, and
the senate retorts that it has been more
expeditions and more liberal than the
house. The latter filibustered this af-
ternoon TO stave Oft senate bills and
did very little service to the country,
1t is Thought, however, that the differ.
ences will be adjusted in the morning,
and that the most important bills will
reach the governor before Saturday
night in some form.
Senator Terrell is a little elated over
the senate's action on the bill to pro.
hibit the fencing of other than the
owners own lands, claiming that the
leading features of his bill have tri-
umphed.
Senator Randolph wanted to post
pone final action on this bill that sen
ators might have time to see how
much of the Terrell bill bad crawled
into II, but II was not postponed and
the doctrine that free grass must 20
and stock must be inclosed is in the
bill. 1t practically legalizes the in
closure of lands dd Hbitunp.
There is no formulated governor
making gossip about the capitol, and
very little political talk of any sig
nilicance. 1t is almost universally
conceded that Ireland will be his own
successor, and only conspirators and
sensational bummers engage in the
puerile effort TO find another Rich
mond.
