Serious Danger

Threatens every man, woman or child
living in region of country where fever
and ague is prevalent, since the germs of
malarial disease are inhaled from the air
and are swallowed from the water of such
a region. Medicinal safeguard is abso-
lutely necessary to nullify this danger.
As means of fortifying and acclimating
the system SO as to be able to resist the
malarial poison, Hostetter's Stomach Bit
ters is incomparably the best and the
most popular. Irregularities of the
stomach, liver and bowels encourage
malaria; but these are speedily rectified
by the Bitters. The functions of diges-
ton and secretion are assisted by its use,
and a vigorous as well as regular condi-
ton of the system promoted by it. Con-
stitution and physique are thus defended
against the inroads of malaria by this
matchless preventive, which is also q GER
tain and thorough remedy in the worst
cases of intermittent and remittent fevers.

Friends of the bill claimed that call Of
the Senate had been demanded before
the vote was announced, and during the
rambling debate that ensued Mr. Mead
criticised the course of Mr.. Sprague, on
the bill, as compared with that of two
years ago.
Mr.. Sprague arose and declared that
tive years ago he did vote against the
same proposition, but it was in accord
ance with trade presumably made be-
tween himself and Mr.. Mead), and against
his own judgment.
Mr.. Mead replied that he was not pre-
pared to say at that time whether or not
the gentleman'S statement was correct
but would look into the matter and if he
found it not to be true he would denounce
it upon the floor or the Senate.
Finally it was left to the Senate to de-
termine whether there should be q call ol

Were white clouds, and just above the
horizon, a little clear sky. From the
dark cloud depended a portion in funnel
shape. About one-third of the width
through the center was quite light most
of the time.
1t soon grew elongated, then shorter,
longer again, moved towards the south,
then some degrees north. At one time it
seemed to touch the earth, and on each
side the motion was such as to look like
smoke rising rapidly.
For some moments the water rose from
the ground apparently till it met the
cloud several feet from the earth; not fine
like fog, but like small streams, though
irregular, like clouds in shape, or waves
dashing on rocks. Then the funnel be-
came small tube but a few inches in
size, with the center bowed toward the
north, looking like rope swayed by the
wind, and soon went to pieces and foated
away.

Senator Maher was called at the re-

Players Must Return.
The dispatch in this mornings REC
oRD-UNIoN from Washington, stating
that Secretary Young of the National
League has notified all of the re-
served players of the Northwest League
that they must return to their former
clubs, will occasion considerable Surprise
and may possibly result in the breaking
up of the Sacramento and San Francisco
clubs. 1t is to be hoped, however, that if
the three Sacramento players who are
affected by the decision must go north
again, other men will be found to fill
their places.
Mr.. Young says that as long as the
managers of the Northern League offer
their reserved players 500 or over, they
cannot play with any other clubs under

BUCKLEY OUTWITTED.
His Friends in Minority at the

There was an unusually large attendan ce
of members at last nights meeting Of the

friends and the enemies of the absent Buck
ley were sharply drawn.
The committee Of ten appointed last
spring to nominate fifteen Democrats not
members of the club as charter members Of

charged with thanks.
Then the fight began. At a previous

series OF resolutions relating to the Re-
organization Committee, outlining for the
IroQuois a policy of nOn-interference with
and nOn- participation in the affairs of the
reorganizers, and Withholding the official
sanction of the Iroquois Club from any
local organization except the Democratic
County Committee.
When introducing these resolutions Mr..
Ruddock said some hard things about the
reorganizers, and the discussion of the mat
ter was considered last night. Max Pepper
pleaded for the resolutions, which were Wig
orously opposed by C. l.. Weller, E. Z. u.
Troy, J. Bergman and Edwin Lewis.

the club desired to refuse recognition to the
Reorganization Committee as not being
