SPRINGFIELD, HIS, Jan. l9.-The con
fusion and f1libustering in the house on Fri |
day was Of the cumulative sort. Haine7 |
closed his speech at about 2 p M, but tha
debate went on and on till midnight, |
and then there seemed no better chance OF
adjournment than before. During this time
the confusion was often very great. Rumors
were current that Governor Hamilton was
going to take a hand in the fight, and that
coalition had been made TO eject Halnes from
the chair by force, and some OF the
stalwart Democrats took positions near the
speaker to resist such an attempt. But the
most dangerous weapons used were words,
and they flew thick Haines intimated that
if the house did not want him in the chair,
it should remove him. As the tllbusterlng
continued the members grew more
restless, and several skirmishers were
sent out by 10th sides to
patch sp an agreement The Haines
contingent got very restless Haines him
self was suffering intensely from physical
pain, and he finally sent word to the opposi-
ton privately that he was ready to make
some terms.
| the Republicans, offered the following, which
was adopted at little before o'clock Sat-
urday morning
Resolved, That this house do now adjourn
until Monday next at 6 p. m., and that the
pending question be the appeal of the gentle-
| man from Boone Mr.. Fullerl from the de-
cision of the chair in relation to the COM
munication of the speaker to the senate,
which shall beNispose1 Of without debate,
amendment, or intervening motions
The effect of this resolution will be tc
bring about vote next Tuesday on the
motion of Fuller to instruct the speaker moi
to notify the senate that the house has
organized The Haines men had determined
not to allow a vote on Fullers motion, anG
had prevented it for fifteen hours, and

THE WONDER

Is heconlinr universal as to how Sucn an iili-
mense sale could be created in Lowell for
HoOp's SARsAPARILLA. But, my friend,
YOU could stand behind our counter week
and hear what those say who are using IT.
the reason would appear as clear as the
MONDAY sun. The real curative power OF
HOOPS SARsAPAR1LLA demonstrates ltseh
in every case where oar directions are lalth-
fully regarded. We would that we might
get before the people fractional part OIL the
confidence that is expressed to US every DAY
in this medicine by those who have carefully
noted without prejudicel its effects upon the
blood and through that upon the whole sys-
tenn, stimulating all the functions OF the
body to perform the duties nature requires
of them. Try bottle and satisfy yourself. !
Cold Hands and Feet.
LOWELL, Feb. 3, 1879.
MEssRs. C. /. HOOP & Co: Gentlemen
About one year ago my daughter commenced
taking your Sarsaparilla. AZ that tillle ,t, sllo
had very little appetite; could take M ioli5
walks. and her face was badly broken ouG
with humor She was low-spirlfed; tfouDied
with cold hands and feet; her blood seemed
to be poor, and she was IN a condlllon WHICH
caused It's great anxiety: After taking one
bottle of YOUR SarsapariIla she began to im--
prove; and she now has a good appetite and
can take much longer walks. Her humor IS
nothing compared with what it was one year
ago. She is in better spirits, is not troubled
with cold hands and feet as previously. And
/ attribute this improvement in her condi-
ton largely to your SarSaparilla. she mas
taken six bottles, and intends to continue its
use. i was inclined to oppose the trial of it
at first l now have great faith in it as a
blood purifier. Very truly yours:

Baker county (Oregon) gold mines,
reports Hon. Thomas Fitch as say
ing: 81 came here to stay three
days, but was SO impressed with
the immense possibilities of
the camp that | remained. l
have been here two weeks and shall
stay certainly till deep snow falls,
and possibly during the winter.
After a varied experience and obser-
walton Of something over twenty
years | have never seen a mining
district which at such an early
stage of its development gave such
promise of permanence and wealth
as this. If one-third of the number
of claims already discovered here
had been found in any area of sim
liar extent in Nevada, Arizona or
California, the roads leading to it
would have been lined with wagons,
horsemen and footmen. ! shall be
greatly surprised if within eighteen
months from this time this district
fails to show a population of $1,000
with a bullion output never equaled
on this coast since the palmy days
of the Comstock. Intend to camp
with it anyhow and take chances.

She had parcel, small and round,
One lovely afternoon last summer,
l offered, as in duty bound,
To take it from her.
She thanked me with gracious smile,
AS sweet as rosy lips could make 1t;
1t was so small twas not worth while
To let me take it.
Again / offered, as before,
Of that slight burden to relieve her.
She'd rather not" Pray say no more
'Twould really grieve her.
/ ceased to plead-she seemed content
The thing was small, and neatly corded
And so along our way We went,
To where she boarded.
But when upon the stoop she stood,
And ere our last adicus were uttered,
She eyed me with roguish mood,
And softly muttered
As swung the door to let her through,
And left me there all unresisting
Il don't think very much of you
For not insisting"

y1ORyHONS ORGANIZING.

A meeting was held at Oxford the
Goth of last mouth, to reorganize
the Democratic Central Committee
of Southeastern Idaho. No public
call of the meeting was given, and
the attendance was confined to the
Mormon priesthood, who selected
all the members from among them
selves, with the exception of two who
where not at the meeting, but can
be relied upon to "stand in" with
the Mormons. The committee is
composed as follows:
Two Mormons at Oxford.
Two Mormons at Oneida.
One Jack Mormon at Blackfoot.
Two Mormons at Eagle Rock.
One Mormon at Highland.
One Mormon at Beaver Canon.
Two Mormons at Parker.
Two Mormons at Rcxburg.
One Mormon at Cedar Butte.
One Mormon ut Chesterfield.
Two Mormons at Soda Springs.
One Mormon and one Jack at
Gentle Valley.
As the members ofthe committee
have no right to vote, and cannot
exercise the suffrage without per-
juring themselves, this step is, to
say the least of it, an exhibition OF
phenomenal check. But perhaps
it means something more = that
the Mormons intend to defy the
allti-Mormon law Of the Legisla-
ture as they daily defy and disobey
al other laws Of the country.

ritory. In shaft put down on the
east side of Bath Creek to depth
Of twelve feet, oil flows in of excep-
tionally high specific gravity. 1t
is, when first exposed, of a brown
ish color, and can be cut with a
knife like soft butter. 1t gradually
turns black on exposure. 1t has
little odor when it first comes from
the shaft, though what escapes
on the south side of the adjoining
ridge has a slight pungency, which
it loses on exposure. - Chicago
