An Exclamation.

WHAT'S this nervous trouble with
which so many seem now TO be af-
flicted? you will remember few
years ago the word Malaria was COM
paratively unknown--to-day it is as
common 90 any word in the English
language. yet this covers only the
meaning Of another word used by
our fore-fathers in times past SO it
is with nervous diseases, as they and
Malaria are intended to cover what
our grandfathers called Diliousness,
and all are caused by troubles that
arise from diseased condition of the
Liver which in performing it's func-
tions finding it cannot dispose Of the
bile through the ordinary channel is
compelled to pass it off through the
system, causing nervous troubles,
Malaria, Bilious Fever. etc. You
who are suffering can well appreciate
cure. We recommend Green's Au.
gust Flower. It's cures are marvel.

Capt. Custer and the Chief.

at is b source of wonder to the
whites" says Mr.. McFadden, "that
the bodies of Cen Custer and his
brother Tom were not mutilated in
she massacre. 1t is well known that
the fraacherous chief, Rain-in-the-
Faco. had sworn that he would eat
Tom Clusters heart The way he
came to make that threat was this:
"Rain-in-the-Face had committed
some depreciation in Nebraska for
which ne was wanted 10y the United
States officers--borse stealing, l
think it was. He took refuge at
Standing Rock, and Gen. Custer sent
q sergeant with detail from Fort
Lincoln to bring him in. The SER
geant was compelled to return with
out his prisoner. The general then
said to his brother, tom, 60 to Stand
ing Rock and bring back Rain-in-the-
Face or leave your own body there
The captain, VINO never refused to
obey orders, started On his errand
with detail of cavalry.
''It SO happened that the day he
reached Standing Rock was the day
on which rations were issued at the
agency. There were fully 5000 In
dians at the place. Capt. Custer
placed his detail so as to surround
the trading post. He dismounted,
and, with q revolver in one hand and
Il sword in the other, entered the
building. When he got inside he
asked, Where is Rain-in-the- Face =
Silence fell on the room, which was
crowded with friends of the chief.
The captain then told the interpreter
to point out Rain-in-the-Face. This
was done, and stepping up to him the
intrepid cavalry officer placed the
muzzle of his revolver at the Indians
head and said

Household Hints.

To remove white spots from furni-
ture rub with spirits of camphor.
Clean oil cloths with milk and
water; q soap and brush will ruin
them.
Tumblers that have had milk in
them should never be put into hot
water.
Don't allow your stairs or Railways
to be blocked up or used tor "stor-
age" or rubbish, hay, straw, etc, TO
accumulate or remain on your prem
Uses.
Sunlight is one Of the best disin-
fectants. The microbes that. cause
disease, do not flourish in strong sun
shine. 1t also has the advantage of
being cheap.
Mix a little carbonate Of soda with
the water in which flowers are i'm
mersed, and it will preserve them for
fortnight. Common saltpetre is
also very good preservative.
Don't allow any oily waste or rags
to be thrown on the floor, but only
in metal can with cover, and have
them taken out of the building every
night; they are self-igniting.
When putting away the silver tea
or coffee pot which is not used every
day, lay little stick across the top
under the cover. This will allow
the fresh air to get in, and prevent
mustiness.
Don't allow stoves or heaters on
your premises which are not secure
ly set on stone, cemented brick, or
metal, and be sure that all woodwork
near the stoves or pipes is carefully
protected with metal.

II not 1T goes over until the next day. Fail
ing then of passage within an hour il goes
over as unfinished business. Its committee
cannot again call it up, or indeed call up

has had its turn. Filibustering for the
two hours sends it to "kingdom come" Tt
was thus that Gen. Weaver scotched Will
kins' bill giving national banks an increase
of 10 per cent. in circulation.
Tho only remaining chance rests with the
chairman of committee reporting a bill.
When the calendar is loaded with measures
from his committee he asks that day or
DAYS be set apart for their consideration.
The request goes to the committee on rules
"A committee which holds the keys to
all legislation. Its five members are
sort Of close corporation in law
making. All are old members. and
mittees. They can upset the car of legisa-
ton at any time. With their consent and
that of the House the chairman gets his
time allowance. He then selects the meas
ure for consideration. IL any determined
opposition is shown, he withdraws it and
may then be exhausted without the passage
OF any bill whatever. It was thus that the

Escaping all these dangers and passin q

troubles in the Senate. In committee and
in the Senate chamber every senator has a
hack at it. 1t may be so battered out of

it, and it may afterward be lost in a COM
mittee of conference. Shrewd MEM
members take advantage of the con-
ference committee. They accept SEEM

advancement of the passage of a measure.
Thus, If an amendment is proposed which
aims to kill the bill, it may be gracefully
accepted. The other house may refuse to
accept it, thus throwing the bill into a
conference committee. II this committee
agrees to it without the obnoxious amend
ment, the report is privileged and can hold
the floor until vote is taken, whereas
pending the amendment the bill could have

chairman of the Leon county execu tive
committee, for the ceremonies at the inaug-
raj of Gov. Fleming on Tuesday, Jan. s.

state troops and volunteer companies to the
capital, but he would gladly invite all to be
pre- 'ent
Chairman Chipley announced that the
Pensacola and Atlantic, Louisville and
Nashville and Florida Railway and Navi-
CATION companies had agreed TO transport
soldiers in uniform at one-half cont per
mile, making the expenses Of attending
merely nominal. Other railroads will
doubtless join In the arrangement.
CHAIRMAN cHIPLEY's IDEA.
Chairman Chipley's idea is that this oc-
casion should be made marked one by
bringing the people toget er after the
scourge Of the past summer, thereby giving
Increased force to the feeling OF state pride,
and illustrating to the world that it takes
more than au accidental epidemic to check
the progress Of Florida. Where companies
cannot attend in full, they are urged to send
platoons, which will be assigned places in the
parade. Citizens aud visitors from all
sections are invited TO attend and take part
in the ceremonies and general rejoicing
over the glorious victory won throughout
Florida in the recent election.
Chairman Cuipley was most royalty re-
ceived by his many admirers here, who
warmly congratulated him on his able and

New YoRK, Dec S.-Interviews this
morning with railroad men and others who
were passengers on the Washington ex-
press, which was destroyed on the steamer
Maryland last night, may be briefly con-
densed as follows: The fire broke out in tho
kitchen of the boat, which was on the
upper or saloon deck, and burning timbers,

accompany the train to Hartford, whom the
boat was made fast to tie dock, went to the

AS he passed along he noticed nothing
unusual, but after he had secured the lamps
and turned TO go back he was confronted
by solid wall of flame aud the heat inn

passengers from the sleepers in various

An employe in the baggage car said
that the first iutimation which he had of

cover the half dressed passengers There

A CHANCE FOR A RIOT.
CHICAGo'S ANARCHIST MEETING
TO BE BROK EN- UP.

The Bomb -Throwers Say They Will
Adjourn from the Hall to the Hay
market If the Police Carry Out heir
Threat-Chief Hubbard VIII Follow
Them.
CHICAGO, Dec. Sat q meeting of an
archists last night a call for mass meeting,
to be held tomorrow at No. "a West Lake
street, was issued, and it was announced that
in case the police should interfere with this
meeting, an adjournment would be taken
to the Haymarket square, the scene of the
historical bomb throwing, and that
an open-air meeting would be held
there. This is the boldest utterance
by the ''reds" since that fatal night, and
trouble is anticipated. The best evidence
of the truth of this statement is shown in
the fact that Chief of Police Hubbard to-
day issued an order holding nearly the en-
tire city police for ce of l 500 men in reserve
at various stations ready to be concentrated
at any given point on short notice.
CAN'T MEET ANYWHERE.
When asked what he proposed to do,
Chief Hubbard said:
They will not meet, either at No. 81
West Lake street, or in Haymarket square,
nor for that matter. will they meet any
where in Chicago, either in hall or open
air. If they attempt it, there will be
fight. We. positively will not allow any
further anarchist meeting More than that,
| am making a full list of all the
saloons ,and balls where the anarchists con-
gregate, and will recommend to the mayor
that their licenses be revoked. There will
be no temporizing and no hesitancy. From
this time out anarchist meetings will be
broken up or prevented. There is no place
in Cnicago's or Americas social system for
these destructonists, and, as far as Chicago
is concerned. they will not be allowed any
chance to publicly spread their nefarious
doctrines.
CHANCE TO SHOW THEIR METTLE.
81 don't think they want to fight very
badly, but, if they do, they can have all
they want. They shall not meet in Chicago,
and we will begin by preventing to-mor-
rows meeting"
Cant they meet if their speakers keep
within the pale of the law in expressing
their sentimentsN
That is impossible for an avowed
anarchist. Any expression of anarchist
views puts a man beyond the pale OF the
law. We have had too serious time with
anarchy in Chicago TO mince matters now.
We will throttle it every time it shows its
head
