Chickamauga. and from that time until a

Perhaps some of our readers
would like to know in what respect
Chamberlain sc oughRemedy is bet,
ter than any other. We will tell
you. When this remedy is taken
as soon as a cold has been contract
ed, and before it has become settled
in the system, it will counteract the
effect of the cold and greatly lessen
it's severity, if not effectually cure
the cold in two days time, and 1t is
the only remedy that will do this.
1t acts in perfect harmony with ma
ture and aids nature in relieving the
lungs, opening the seeretions, lique-
|fying the mucus and causing its ex-
pulsion from the air cells of the
lungs and restoring the system to a
strong and healthy condition. No
other remedy in the market possesses
these remarkable properties. No
other will cure a cold so quickly or
leave the system in as sound a con-
dition. For sale by c. A. Buckner,

Correspondence of the LEDsER
SPOKANE, WASH, Oct. 16.-Per-
haps a few items from this part of
the United States will be of interest
to some of your readers who are
thinking of leaving grand old Mis-
souri,. They ought to think first
before they attempt to move away
from one Of the best States in the
Union, speaking from experience.
1t has been raining here for two
weeks and has spoiled three-fourths
of the wheat that has Teen cut, say
ing nothing about what is standing,
and they estimate that one-half Of
it has not been touched. They are
blowing bitches around the fields
in many places to drain them so
they a cut it. On the 10Th (Sun-
day. the sun shone as if it would
bid fair for good weather, and over
thirty threshing machines were
heard in one locality running in
full blast. [ counted at one time
thirty-seven four horse wagons and
thirty-fve two horse wagons wait
ing to unload at one small town of
1000 inhabitants, to say nothing
about the rest of the places.
Spokane has had five bank fail
ures, two of which have resumed
business.
The mud is six inches deep in the
principal streets. There are seven
teen doors with a small piece OF paper
on them saying, "Closed for a few
days" or something to that effect.
Most of them closed by the Sheriff,
although one dry goods house boast
ed of taking in $500 on the ,14th.
Business Is at a stand still all over
the northwest, mostly caused by
the mines shutting down and low
prices of lead and silver, speaking
after the masses of people who have
expressed themselves. Over 5000
miners were thrown out of employ
ment in one district. AS for wages,
they are lower here than anywhere
| ever saw, and | have been III
twenty-seven different states within
the last five years. Laborers get
$3.50 and carpenters 81 and the
rest in proportion. Reader, please
do not think l am trying to pre-
judice you from coming west but
facts and figures go together and |

Pleasure In California.


During the winter months the
residents of the Eastern States make
the best of forbidding conditions and
amuse themselves in various ways
by a large expend iture of energy.
They work hard, but they have
sport. They must be careful to
avoid the numt rous dangers with
which very cold weather surrounds
them. ALI of their efforts at amuse-
ment are a struggle against a for
bidding and uncongenial aspect Of
nature. They simply create all the
pleasure they get; nature, instead
of helping them, presents a constant
protest against their pleasure. Dur
ing these same months the visitor
in California simply has to sit down
and enjoy more pleasure than his
most active efforts could have Sc
cured in the Eastern States; if he
wants to double the pleasure which
mere inactivity affords, he can do
30 with the least possible exertion.
At all times he has abundant sun
shine in California, for the rainy
days are few and short, and there
ia neither snow nor ice to make
him a prisoner. Flowers bloom I'M
ceasingly in the garden, and fresh
fruits are always at hand. Water
melons and strawberries grace his
Christmas dinner.
All along the coast of California
the summers are cold enough to
make wooden clothing comfortable.
In the Eastern States the wretched
inhabitant wears the thinnest of
clothing, and then suffers from the
heat. TheC Californian goes camping or
strolling through the woods with no
fear of a drenching, for the Cali
fornia summers are rainless. The
mountain scenery is of infinite
variety and unapproachable majesty
and beauty. Large and elegant
hotels abound at all seaside resorts.
Splendid vineyards and orchards
exist everywhere, and the most
gorgeous wild flowers abound.
All the most beautiful resorts and
wild retreats of California are reach

A Perfect Demonstration OF the SEN
ate,s Condition.

No more perfect demonstration OF
the helplessness of the Senate under
the present system of rules has been
given than by the event that follow
ed Mr.. Voorhees, inquiry:
"Mr. President: My inquiry is
whether there is any limit or re-
straint on the rule permitting Sem
ators to make the point of no quo
rum.
"In the terms of the rule," said
Mr.. Frye, who was presiding, "there
is no limitation, and the chair knows
of no power in the presiding officer
to put a limitation"
MIR. Voorhees, sank back in his
seat angry, but with no further word
of protest. The roll call brought A
unwilling victims into the chamber.
AS soon as the announcement was
made, Mr.. Quay of Pennsylvania
got to his feet and suggested the abb
sence of a quorum. He said the de-
cision of the chair put it absolutely
in the power Of any one Senator to
block legislation, for as rapidly as a
computation was made a Senator
could suggest the absence of a quo
rum and the roll would have to be
called.
FRYE CAUSES LAUGHTER.
"The Senate of the United States, "
said Mr.. Frye slowly and with a
gravity that caused the galleries to
litter, sis the most dignified legisla-
tive body in the world"
Here he paused.
"And," he proceeded, "the
trainers of its rules did not suppose
that any Senator would violate the
%proprieties or the decencies of the
Senate. Therefore, the rule is made
without any limitation upon a SEN
ator except his own sense of right"
"The theory of the Constitution"
said Mr.. Quay, disgustedly, "may
be stated by the chair, but our re-
cent experience has shown that the
Senate is very differently constitut-
ed"
He then withdrew bis suggestion
of the fact of a quorum not being
present, when, to the establishment
of all, Mr.. Carey of Wyoming, who
evidently desired to show the coun-
try exactly how powerless the SEN
ate was, repeated it. The chair had
the rule read. 1t provides that if at
any time any Senator raises a ques-
ton as to the presence of a quorum
the presiding officer shall forthwith
direct the roll to be called.
