HOLMAN DeADLocks THE HOUSE.
He Sidetracks the Raum Case-What
the Worlds Fair People Say.

He Sidetracks the Raum Case-What
the Worlds Fair People Say.
When the Raum case came mp yesterday
it was interrupted by the conference re-
port on the deficiency bill, and as soon rs
he could get the floor Holman moved to
instruct the house conferrees to recede from
the action of the house last week in the mat
ter of paying the balance of any salary of
a deceased representative for the full term
to his legal heirs, and to insert Out in no
case to exceed $1,000 the balance due for
the session in which the member died.
Last weeks action had been agreed TO
after four roll-calls and its advocates pro-
ceeded to filbuster to defeat Holman.
Effect of the Movement.
The effect of Holman's action was to
destroy the legislative day for the consid-
Grafton of the Raum matter, and Enlue,
who is pushing the latter, which asks the
president to dismiss Raum, didn't' like
Holman's move. He introduced another
resolution asking the rules commit
tee TO set apart another day for the Raum
business. But the Holman movement
has another phase, it seems. The Worlds
fair people say it is part of programme
entreed into by the opposition to the
Worlds fair appropriation to consume
time and to defeat the sundry civil bill
carrying the appropriation and continuing
the appropriations of last year.
Greek Will Meet Greek.
The scheme is said to be headed by
Holman and the Democratic memb ers of
the committee on appropriations. The
advocates of the measure state that If
any attempt Of this kind is made it will
be a case of "when Greek meets Greek
then comes the tug of war;" and they,
too, will filibuster and by breaking a
quorum will prevent an adjournment
without action on the exposition item.
Evidently the question of adjournment is
as far off as ever, and it would not be
surprising if the session was continued for
two weeks or more.

How OilcIoth Is Made.

The foundation is burlap sized with
paint laid on by machinery with a
knife. This lays it on more evenly than
a brush. When dry it is sandpapered,
and from four to nine other coats Of
paint are applied, according to the quail
ity of the oilcloth. These dry in a
week, and then the printing is done.
Nearly all the blocks for oilcloth print
ing in use in this country are made at
Hallowell Me. A block is about eight
cen inches square. The printing sur-
face is sawed across at right angles I'M
til it looks like the top of box of
matches. Then design for the block
is made, and all the little squares except
THOSE needed for printing are cut away.
There has to be one block for each
color. Each block has handle, the
operation of printing being like that of
stamping letters in postoffice. When
all the colors required have been ap-
piled, final blow is given by block
which has all the squares left on, to
make all even and smooth. Then the
cloth is dried and vanished.

WISCONSIN TOWN IN ASHES.

Fifteen Hundred People without Shell
ter-whole Place Wiped Out.
IRON RIVER, Wis, July 25.-With the
exception of one or two buildings this town
is in ashes, 1900 people are without shell
ter and in many cases without food. Lit
tie is left of what twenty -four hours ago
was one of the most prosperous mill towns,
the total property loss aggregating 5000,
5000, with very little insurance. The fire
started in a hotel, and in less than five
minutes the structure was ablaze.
No Fire-Fighting Apparatus.
AS there is nothing in the town in the
way of fire-fghting apparatus and no
stream near by, all that could be done
was to try to save the contents Of the
buildings. In an incredibly short space OF
time the fire extended to adjoining struc-
lures, which burned like finder. The only
persons who saved their effects were those
who realized the village was doomed and
carried out their household goods before
the flames reached their residences.
Help Sent from Other Places.
The fire started at p. IN. yesterd ay
Last night the people were huddled about
their ruined homes, but the railways came
quickly to the rescue and sent every pas
Benger car that could be spared to the
place for shelter for the homeless. Gen.
sral Manager Fitch, of the Duluth, South
Shore and Atlantic, also ordered his en-
ployes to collect provisions and forward
them here. Engines were sent from West
Superior and other places but got here toe

Chronic Diseases.

The doctor treats no acute diseases, but de-
votes his whole time to the treatment of
chronic and long standing and surgical dis
eases; cases given up by other doctors and pro-
nounced incurable, he most desires to see. Dr.
Humphrey has had nearly 5000 cures in the
state of Michigan, while his patients all told In
Minnesota, Wisconsin,; Illinois, Alabama, Ten
nessee Georgia, Ohio and Indiana, have been
fully five times that number; nearly two-thirds
of these sufferers were given up as hopeless
invalds, some to be blind, some deaf, and
others prey to scrofula, chronic kidney dis
ease, consumption, destructive female troubles
Among others, hundreds of children hopeless
ly deformed. But behold how many of them
see and hear, while nearly all are rapidly
being cured.
The doctor is surrounded with the finest and
most extensive collection of instruments ever
imported to this country for examining and
trea ting all forms of chronic ailments of the
head face. eye, ear, throat. chest, lungs, heart
stomach, liver, spleen, kidneys, bowels, repro
ductive organs, urinary organs, brain and
nervous system, paralysis, growths, joint dis
eases, piles, hip diseases, sciatica, skin diseases
ulcers and every form of weakness of either
male or female.

How to Make "cheat Oyster"

Take of tomatoes one pint, canned or
fresh; take a large teacupful of white
Goldfish, picked up fine; add to this three
pints water and small tablespoonful
of good butter. When these have boiled
twenty minutes, add one pint fresh milk,
having ready one-half teaspoonful Of
baking powder. Use Immediately. The
taste is similar to oysters or Holsters.

The doctor q speoiffo medicines go straight to

their use is begun. They are pleasant to take.

are often slowly, surely, yet unconsciously
dying, knowing themselves i'll, yet deceived
into false security, they procrastinate and
put of the matter until the case Is rendered
incurable. The doctor earnestly requests all
persons under treatment to write him often, as
advice may be necessary week after week In
order to push any given case on as rapidly as
possible and good common-sense statement
on the part of tire patient by mail Is the next

Examination Free to AL.


Although the doctor is in many cases
compelled 10 use expensive instruments
and chemicals in making analyses, micro
scopic and other scientific examinations,
yet he makes no charges to anyone, beliep
ing 1t to be part of the physicians duty
to ascertain the patients true condition
without expense to the sufferer. When
ever and wherever DR.. Humphrey decides
to locate a monthly visit crowds flock to
see him. and no wonder, for by the first eX-
animation, and often without asking a
question. he tells the invalid what the
.. trouble is, and the prospect of a cure, and
most wonderful of all he values his first
impression and first look at a patient more
than ali else, and DIR. Humphrey is never
mistaken in his diagnosis in any case.
The doctors methods differ markedly
from the general practitioner in all re-
spects Following the plan of st. Georges
Hospital of London, he registers every
particular as to the patients physical con-
dition and mental state. The condition of
each organ, location of any and all dis
eased parts. and whether sympathetic or
organic, together with the amount and
nature of the disease. In this way the en-
tire amount OF vital energies are readily
computed and the restoring power of the
body measured against the force and en-
ergy and destructive capabilities of the dis
ease. Thus knowing the actual condition
of the tissues and the effect of specific
medicines upon every structure of the
body, unlike most doctors, he is enabled to
say positively whether any given case Is
durable or not, and can also give the APP
proximate time and expense of treatment,
and would here point out the utter de-
fusion cherished by many patients that
they ought to get well in q few days or
weeks, Notwithstanding the fact that they
have suffered for years.
