NOT IMPRISONMENT FOR DEBT.
Mr.. Oates Explains One Feature of His
Bankrupt Bill.

Washington, December 7.-The House
today took up the bankruptcy bill and
Mr.. Oates spoke in its support. He said
the pubic press in some instances had
declared that this bill re-established i'm
prisonment for debt. AS matter of fact
the Judge of court was only authorized
to detain a debtor when it was shown
beyond question that he proposed remov-
ing from the jurisdiction of the court to
defeat pending proceedings. This could
not be construed to be imprisonment for
debt. The measure contained no harsh
provisions. Politics did not enter into
the question. At the conclusion Of his
remarks, Mr.. Oates gave notice that
when the bill was taken up tomorrow it
would be under the five minute rule,
general debate having been terminated.
Mr.. Cooper of Indiana, offered resolu-
tion authorizing the Secretary of War to

reservations and parks along the line of

700 OF TEN The CASE.
IMTERESTIPlG PROOFS.

A young society lady, after round Of
gayety, becomes suddenly conscious Of an un.
usual sensation. She hasfrequent attacks Of
dizziness, her back aches, and she feels blue and
generally run down.

anything which promises relief.
There is hopef for all sufferers from Nervous
Diseases. Read what follows:
Mrs. Jennie @. Davis, q fine artist and an
accomplished authoress Of Westfeld, Wis,
had been subject to headache ever since she
could remember. So severe were her at
tacks as to cause at times temporary delirium
All treatment had failed to relieve her, but
after using Dr. Miles Restorative Nervine
she writes: MY record is to me, at least,
satisfactory. No headache, constantly in
creasing appetite, and consequent gain in
weight of two and half pounds in just one
week.
Six weeks later she writes Have read
and sewed immoderately Of late, but my
headaches do not return
Mrs. John r. Miller,of Valparaiso, Ind
was attacked three years ago with turn of life
in its worst form. 1t finally went to her
head, and all indications we're that it would
result either in insanity or softening of the
brain. Her husband thus writes: " 1t would

THEY STOLE A LOCOMOTIVE.

"The most successful and, at the
same time, most unique civil service
examination know of occurred dur
ing the war" said T. C. de Land of
the examining board at the treasury to
a Washington Post man. "The Confed-
eracy was very much in need of a rail-
road locomotive in order to operate
their supply system. 1t was in 1864
and they had not the means to buy an
engine, so the invariable alternative
arose-steal one. A band of 100 men was
selected from Lees army and placed
under the command Of a big six-foot-
four Georgian, who had been foreman
of stone quarry and was more or less
skilled In the use Of derricks, etc. He
took his men up into Maryland, and
they tore up section of the Baltimore
and Ohio railway tracks, tagged the
next train. and with nothing in the
world but plenty of rope, those 100 men
carried the locomotive fifty-two miles
over hills, across streams, through
bogs and woods, until they struck q
line the Confederacy had built. Then
they ran the engine down to Virginia.
When the president of the Baltimore
and Ohio heard of the feat, he couldn't
believe 1t. He went out and personally
inspected the scene; went over the
route and declared it the most wonder
ful feat Of engineering ever accom-
pished. After the war he delegated a
man to find the leader of the hand.
He was located in Georgia. Mr.. Gar
rett sent for him and on the strength
of that single feat made him road
master of his entire rystcm of railroads.
ANY man that can pick up an engine
with fish lines and carry 1t ever a
mountain has passed his examination
with me, he said"

THE COUNTRY is SAFE.


There Is not the least cause for q
general panic. nor is there the least
expectation Of such. AS President Hill
remarked, the prospects of the North
west have not been better r. ten years
back. The precautions which the New
York clearing house is taking in issu-
ing certificates is simply II prudent
measure, designed to protect the banks.
The demands made on them for money
in the south and west has made them
cautious. They are likewise acting
unitedly against all common dangers,
and are giving Secretary Carlisle cor
dial support
The general condition of the coun-
try is sound. Large cotton, wheat and
corn crops may be expected. Eastern
manufacturers are busy Railroad earn
ings are good. The country is making
a wonderful display Of its marvellous
progress and inexhaustihle resources.
In the presence of such evidence of
greatness and wealth, no one should
heed the croakers.
The populists may henceforth have
to paddle their own canoe. No pop
ulist receives an office, no friendly word
ONES from the White House to cheer
them. The victorious democrats feel
in Texas who in ioint debate with
populist spoke as follows:
Gentlemen of the State Of Texas,
are you aware of who's been talking
