The New Tariff Isill.

\ copy of the new tariff schedule
prepared by the New York Tariff Re
form club has been sent out. The
measure that i likely to pass con-
gres> may not be a. radical as that
prepared by this club, the Springfield
Register says. but it viii probably
embody substantially the same policy
and economic ideas. The bill pre-
pared by the Tariff Reform club con-
sists OF eight schedules. All duties
are al valorem. The principles of
the bill can he classified As follows:
First-Universal adoption of the
advalorem system instead of the
method of specific duties.
Second-Ehe reduction of the gen
eral average ad valorem rate to %
per cent, or less
Third-The enlargement of the free
list so as to include all elements of
industry, including in that designa-
ton both what have been called raw
materials, and those partially manu-
featured products which are largely
used in the perfection of the COM
pleted manufactured article.

4 Texans Pc-DlexftY,

"See here" said Mr.. Jefferson T. Short
of Carrie, Tex, as lie dived into his
pocket and brought up 100 neatly en-
graved visiting cards done up in pack
age. ''What1l / do with these things
when 1 get home? If l offered one to u
man, he'd shoot me. But l find up here if
l want to see the eighty-fourth assistant
secretary to the twenty-third assistant
secretary of the secretary I've got to give
one of the pasteboards to colored gen.
tleman who wears better clothes than I
do and kick around for an hour in the
hall outside before l >an get inside

"Whatll do with these? know the
printer won't take them back, because l
have been to see him. 1 can't give them
to anybody, because they cost too much
money. If 1 put 'em in my trunk, my
wife will raise trouble over my extrava-
gance, and 1 couldn't explain to her in
40 weeks. If this is what you call
democratic government, I'd like to see
return to federalism. 1 used to think
that these fellows in the departments,
being hired by the public and getting
their wages from the public, could be
reached by the public. = Washington

Spring Cleaning.

Yes, clean yer house an clean yer shed
An clean yer barn in every part,
But brush the cobwebs from yer head
An sweep the snowbank from yer heart.
Jes' wen spring cleanin comes aroun
Bring forth the buster an the broom,
But rake yer fogy notions down
An sweep yer dusty soul of gloom.
Sweep ole ideas out with the dust
An dress yer soul in newer style.
Scrape from yer min its WORKOUT crust
An dump ii in the rubbish pile.
Sweep out the hates that burn an smart,
Bring in new loves serene and pure;
Around the herthstone of the heart
Place modern styles of furniS-e.
Clean out yer moril cubby holes.
Sweep out the dirt, scrape Off the scum;
IT'S cleanin time for helthy souls;
Git up an dust! Tie spring hez come!
Clean out the corners of the brain,
Bear down with scrubbin brush an soap.
An dump oil Fear into the rain
An dust a coy chair for Hope.
Clean out the brains deep rubbish hole,
Soak every Granny great an small,
An in the front room of the soul
Hang pootier pictur's on the wall.
Scrub up the winders of t0tnind,
Clean up an let the spring begin;
Swing open wide the dusty blind
An let tho April sunshine in.
Plant flowers in the souls front yard,
Set out new shade an blossom trees
And let the soul once froze an hard
Sprout crocuses of new idees.
Yes, cle2n yer house an clean yer shed
And clean Yer barn in ev'ry part.
But brush the cobwebs from yer head
An sweep the snoWbanks from yer heart,

Nitrorlycerin In "A Huna NAV.

w. w. Walters, the venturesome
young man who travels over the gas belt
shooting gas wells with nitroglycerin,
had a frightful experience in Muncie
Thursday, and several people had close
calls for their lives. Walters travels in
n spring wagon, in which he transports
the deadly explosive. He was approach
ing a gas well on Henry Martins prop
erty, and a large crowd had assembled to
see Miss Rose Martin drop the ego
devil, which she did. The horses pulling
the dangerous stuff got frightened ana
started to run off. Walters staid with
them and pulled his revolver to shoot
them if they could not be stopped any
other way. Fortunately the neck yoke
on the tongue came loose, letting the
tongue down, and stopped the team. The
wagon was loaded with 100 quarts of the
explosive at the time, and the result of
an explosion would have made catas-
trophe.-Cor. Indianapolis Journal.

TAKE TREATMENT NOW!

Time and again the physicians Of
the Scott Medical Institute have adj
vised patients in desperate stages of
catarrhal trouble to wait until sum-
mer before taking treatment. Time
and again they have urged the neces-
sity of taking treatment while the
weather was favorable to cure.
Now is that time. Those who suf-
fer from catarrh should take advan-
tage of all the influences that operate
now in favor of cure. They should
not put off treatment until next win
ter's stormy days. but should pru-
IDENTITY mend their roof while the
sun shines" Now is the time. and
the opportunity is just what is de-
sired for the worst cases. Do not let
it 90 by, but place yourself under
treatment of the Scott Medical Insti-
tute. and have done for you in the
next month or two what might not
be possible to do until next summer.
HAVE YoU CATARRH OF THE Stomach?
If so. YOU are an easy victim for
Asiatic cholera. Attend to it now,
