New discoveries-or what claim to be
discoyeries-of the healing virtues of
plants are continually being made One
of the latest is that celery is a cure for
rheumatism; indeed, it is asserted that
the disease is impossible if the vegetable
be cooked and freely eaten. The fact that
it is always put ON the table raw prevents
its therapeutic powers from being known
The celery should be cut into bits boiled
in water until soft. and the water drunk
by the patient. Put new milk, with a lit
tie Hour and nutmeg. into a saucepan with
the boiled celery, serve it warm with
pieces of toast, eat it with potatoes, and
the painful ailment will soon yield. Such
is the declaration of physician who has
again and again tried the experiment, and
with uniform success. He adds that cold
or damp never produces but simply de-
velops the disease, of which acid blood is
the primary and sustaining cause, and
that while the blood is alkaline there can
be neither rheumatism nor govt
Statistics show that in one year (1S16l
2,640 persons died of rheumatism in this
country and every case, it is claimed,
might have been cured or prevented by
the adoption of the remedy mentioned.
At least two-t thirds of the cases named
heart disease are aseribed to rheumatism
and its agonizing ely, govt. Smallpox,
so much dreaded, is not half SO destrue-
tive as rheumatism, which, it is main
tanned by many physicians, can be pre-
vented by obeying natures laws in diet.
But, if you have incurred it, boiled celery
is pronounced unhesitatingly to be spe-
citic. The proper way to eat celery is to
have it cooked as a vegetable after the
manner above described The writer
makes constant use of it in this way
Try it once, and you would sooner do
without any vegetables, with the single
exception of the potato, rather than
celery. Cooked celery is a delicious dish
for the table, and the most conducive to
health of any vegetable that can be men
tioned.-Leeds Mercury.

to make use of it's advantage. At noon

senators will each receive their regular

how long school keeps, while the patri-

CURED. The senate is therefore in a po-
sition to insist upon all amendments to
bills and a delay consideration of OBJ
jectionable measures beyond the pa.
tience of representatives. The only
agreement to which the senate has com
mitted itself is the one by which both
houses promise to consider no new legis-
lation and to adjourn Tuesday night, pro-
vided the appropriation bills have then
been passed. The senate will probably
use its advantage by killing the bill pro-
viding for a wholesale reduction in sala-
ries of county officers, the Elder mort
gage and land tax bill and other radical
measures.

bill failed to pass in the house. This
defeats the bill for this session. The
conference report on the senate revenue
bill was adopted by both houses. It
makes the interest on the tax certificate
fifteen per cent, and taxing express CON-
panies on their gross earnings a penalty
of n per cent. on March LIST, and
strikes out all the other house amend
ments. The bill to reduce the salary
of the circuit judges five hundred dol
lars was lost in the house. The special
committee appointed to investigate the
charges made against Col. M. r. Day,
reported, completely generating him.
The report was unanimously adopted.
Both houses to-day raised the salaries
of their employees to the former figures.
The deficiency appropriation of $4,000
passed both houses. The following
bills passed both houses: MaxweVs
bill for the state incorporation of banks,
general appropriation bill, bill for state

will not pass. The legislature is still

A Good Man Gone Wrong.

LANSING, Mich, March All Lans-
ing was stirred up to-day when Thomas
M. Wilson was arrested on a warrant
containing six counts, charging him with
embezzlement Of state funds. He has
been for IA years a member of the state
board of auditors and the charges men
toned amount in the aggregate to 81 $50.
A period of population dating back over
two years is the complaint made by Sec
rotary of State Sopher. For several
years the money for rent of the building
owned by the state and formerly occu-
pied by the state officers had been
paid to him, and for two
years he has not turned it in. When
arrested he confessed to having appro.
priated $4,000. He begged for mercy
and said if given five hours he would pay
back the money. The officers, however,
were not disposed to settle it, and he was
taken into court. He waived examina-
ton and was held for trial to the circuit
court. Wilson is 70 years of age and has
been a prominent figure in state politics.
In 1873 he represented Macomb county
in the legislature.

Coy. Peck's First Veto.

MADISON, Wis.,, March 6.-Gov. Peck,
for the first time, has used the veto pow
or. The bill that incurred the executive
displeasure was a measure appropriating
t~certain lands in the county of Sheboygan
to the federal government for the pur-
pose of erecting a public building there
on. Gov. Peck holds that the govern
ment has the right of eminent domain,
and consequently can condemn the prop
erty. Among the number of bills passed
by the assembly was one levying a tax
of n and one-tenth mills on every dol
lar of assessed valuation of the taxable
property of the state for state university
income, in addition to what the univer-
sity is already receiving. 1t is estimated
that this will add to the universities re.
sources about $57,5O0 annually, which
amount will increase as the value of the
property increases. The money thus ap-
propriated will be used in the construc-
ton Of a gymnasium drill. hall and
dairy building.

that the house authorize the senate to hold
n or more sessions at Locke's hotel.
of the members did not hear it read,
and others regarded it as a joke, but it
meant business. Senators Clark and
Schotield who favor resubmission are sick
at the Lockes and the object was to get a
session there in order to pass the bill. 1t
is claimed by the resubmisslonists that
with the sick senators voting they can
pass the bill. This morning the members
of the house caught the significance of the
resolution IL a motion wa made to re-
consider it. A call of the house was de-
manded and it was a couple of hours be-
fore the call was raised, but the resolution
was reconsidered and the prohlbs are

KIDNAPPED IN CHICAGO,
A Woman Taken Of the Street in Broad
Daylight.

A Woman Taken Off the Street in Broad
Daylight.
CHICAGO, March Mrs. Title Mowry,
a pretty little woman, was forcibly kid
mapped to-day by two unknown men,
thrust into a carriage and driven hastily
to the Wisconsin Central depot in time
to catch the train for northern Wiscon-
sin. The deed was committed at the
corner of Franklin and VanBuren streets
in broad daylight and in full view of
hundreds of persons passing to and fro
to their daily labor, but it was done with
such n%eatness and dispatch that no Ole
seems to have realized at once the crime
that was being committed and no
mention was made of it to the
police until it was too late. Mrs.
Mowry is scarcely 10 years of age, but
has been married twice. Her first hus-
band, from whom she was divorced, was
Hubert Sccord, a young man whose
present address is Packwaukee, Wis.
He is said to have been writing letters
importuning her to return to him. To-
night a telegram, signed with the alb
Quoted woman's name, was received by
her parents. The message was dated at
Rugby Station, Wis, and said his friends
had taken her away.
