The republicans of Oregun, being una- ble to agree upon a senatorial cacdidate, have adjourned the legislature without an election, leaving to the republican g,v- ernor the duty of filling the vacaacF, which will occur on the 4th nf March The dem ocrats are pleased with tuis result, because 1t gives them a chanc9 to elect the senator next winter, if they can carry the leglsla- ture, which with the aid of the democratic national administration they feel quite confident of doing. The Illinois legisla- ture are considering similar plan, inas- much as there Is very little prospect of breaking the present dad lock The re- pubiicans believe that they can control the next legislature without trouble, and under the circumstances ar,. not averse to allowing Governor Oglesby to appoint General Logan's successor.

WORSE THAN FIREARMS. editor of an Omaha paper, in commenting on several cases in that city where children died from the effects of taking cough syrup containing morphia, remarks that opiates, poisons and narcotics are more dangerous than firearms. Mothers should note this, and furthermore that different boards of health, after making careful analyses, have certified that the only purely vegetable preparation of this kind and one that is in every way harmless, prompt and effective, is Red Star Cough Cure. May For Latrobe of Baltimore and the commis- sioner of health, have publicly endorsed this valuable discovery.

Years ago, a prominent official of a western railroad was clerk in a local grocery. Among the habitues of the place was an aged deacon of the Baptist church, whose D: otruding chin and paucity of teeth rendered conversation on his part peculiar. Day after day he was wont to call in and read the morning paper, amid the boxes of soap, piles of cod fish and other articles kept in the ordinary country store. The warm corner behind the stove made a comfortable place to pass away the hours of his declining age, and the paper, gratis was an enticing feature of the arrangement The clerk just mentioned had keen idea of the comical, and determined to ''put up job" on the old gentleman. Accordingly he daily handed the de ,con the same paper. After this had happened several days he remarked "Well deacon, what's the news ?" ''Oh, ) remarked the aged pillar of the church, in his peculiar tones, its about the same thing over and over every day" But he did not find out where the trouble was.
 | YOUNG W1FE's GREATEST TRIAL. The greatest trial of a young wife's life is the birth of child which is usually attended with many hours of hard labor and intense 1 pain. PAINLESS CHILDBIRTH, new book by pr. J. H. Dye, one of New York's most emi- nent physicians, however, shows that pain is not necessary in childbirth, but results from causes easi y understood and overcome. It proves conclusively that any woman may be- come mother without experiencing any pain whatever. It also tells how to overcome and prevent morning sickness, swel'ed limbs, ner- yousness, pain in back, and all the unpleasant sensations attending pregnancy. It answers hundreds of delicate questions about women and their peculiar troubles Physicians high. ly recommend it, and say that it will do all that is claimed for 1t.

A New Motive Power.

A new motive power, which might
be found useful in several localities
where fine running dry sand can be OBJ
tanned, has been recently put to use in
New Mexico at one of the mines. The
wind which blows over the plains and
through the valleys freely, but fitfully,
is not to be depended upon for steady
work. A windmill is therefore en-
ployed to raise sand into an appropri-
ate reservoir, from which it flows
through spout precisely as water
would do on to an overshot wheel, fur
nishing a steady power so long as the
stock lasts. As the windmill runs
night and day as long as the wind
blows, there is usually sand enough to
work during the daytime. No doubt
there are other places and ways in
which this method of securing power
could be employed to advantage

In this broad land teeming with 3
wealth OF natural resources and advan-

for families to become widely separated
rs It's members arrive at maturity. It
frequently occurs that . mother must
travel thousand mlles or more In or
der TO visit her several children and
their families. The exquisite pleasure
afforded by family reunion Is, alasI
too seldom enjoyed. Not always Ii 1t
convenient for sons and daughters TO
leave their homes and little ones TO
gather around tie old hearthstone.
Would that the custom could more fro
quently be indulged In. On many oc-
casions illness In the family Is q re-
straining cause. Too often the monster
disease enters an otherwise happy
home, despoiling . parent affilcting .
child. Our duty to ourselves and TO our
little ones demand that we make good
health the one grand study and object
of our lives. A terrible master Is dis

Cauterization After Dog Bites.

The London Standard says: "A sad
case of death from hydrophobia occurred
recently just outside the port of Singa-
pore. The victim was Lieutenant Law
ford, of the Royal Inniskillings, and there
seems to be no doubt that his death
was consequent upon a bite on the fin
ger about eight months ago. Some
other gentlemen were bitten By the dog
at the same time as this unfortunate
officer, but as they took precautions at
once they have not so far suffered any
i'll effects Lieutenant Lawford unfor-
tunately only received a slight scratch,
and did not think it necessary to have
it cauterized as did the others. Had he
done so he would possibly have escaped
evil consequences. The old plan of the
red-hot iron has long given way to
caustic and pure carbolic acid; and
even il the wound is allowed to bleed
freely and is sucked at once. in the alb
sence of the necessary remedies, such
treatment seems to be sufficient proteo.
