the senate report for The Record We'd
nesday night, Jan. II. The chief re-
porter was sick, and but two men were
available 10 do the work. The senate
was in session for fourteen hours, all Of
which time was spent in an active dis
cussion of the silver bill. 1t was after
~ o'clock at night when they adjourned,
and during the session they had talked
over 100, 600 words. Two stenographers

for the printers by o'clock in the morn

Heart Failure, Sudden Death

The prayer of the christian pleads for guardianship against sudden death. and yet alas. how many leave the world for better or for worse without single mo nients warning. He died of heart failure. The tired and weary heart failed while engaged in the momentous task of pump ing the blood from the arteries and fore tug 1t into every big and little vein that the wasting tissues of the flesh might be replenishcd How important then that the great stream of life be kept pure and it's corpuscles red and active. lest the fluid grows clogged and sluggish. and the heart in all extraordinary effort snaps without signal the thread of it's muscu- lar strength. It is your duty as one who loves the life that God has given him to assist nature ill maintaining free action of the circulatory system by keeping the blood m state of purity and health Nature has supplied healing and strengthening herbs for this purpose.

Separate Coaches,

For several months past the theory Of furnishing separate railway coaches for white and cnlored passengers has been agitated and discussed. with b { little apparent opposition, and now since the assembling of the next lee is lalure lS so near at hand It should b.' brought more prominently before the people and the legislators.
 From the tone of the press. which is always Il certain indication. the theory will be engratted as statutory law. and ii sloul,l he.
 The law should be plain and simple short and sweet. It should say th t the railroads through our state shall provide separate coaches for white and black passengers. with equal accom-. modatiouS for all. That would be sufficient. and woulG cover the case. 1t would be law something after the style of the law in Mississippi which occupies only two sections of the stat utes. and though il has been taken before the United States supreme court on the plea of unco, stitution ality, it has returned whole and was pronounced good. Sinco tn. Missis- sippi law has been in force both races have been satisfied with the result.
 There is no reason why this law should not be passed the first thing for the people, with one accord arc demanding it. The attorneys for the Missouri Pacific system have even ex, pressed a desire for the passage oi such law. stating that that company would he anxious to provide separate coaches if they could only have statu- tory protection.- Warren News.
