those parts until they were sore, to overcome
in measure the dead feeling that had taken
possession of them. In addition, L had
strange weakness in my back and around my
waist together with an indeScribable gone
feeling in my stomach. Physicians said it
was creeping paralysis, from which, accord
ing to their universal conclusion, there is no
relief Once it fastenS upon a person, they
say, it continues its insidious progress until
it reaches vital point and the sufferer dies.
Such was my prospect. had been dOctOring

of DR. Miles Restorative Nervine, procured

may seem, but few days had passed before
every bit of that creepy feeling had left me,
and there has not been even the slightest
indication of its return. I now feel as
we'll as | ever did. and have gained ten
pounds In weight, though l had run down

ANENT the great state question Of
esonomizing expenses and reducino
taxation, good suggestion is to the
taxing ofinsurance companies on their
gross earnings within the state. The
insurance companies doing business
mere must be protected in their rights,
they use the machinery of the land for
protection from fraud; yet pay no
taxes. They on an average take sev-
erai times more money out in prem
lums than they return to paw losses

community but it would be dif1icp,t

Infected Chinch Bugs.

You can get infected chinch
bugs by sending live, healthy ones
to Prof. j. H. Snow, Experiment
Station, University of Kansas.
Lawrence, Kans., Prof. Snow
writes to Tie Republic that it is
not necessary to send stamps fol-
return of diseased bugs, but he
does ask that some live bugs be
sent in return, for which infected
ones will be given. The Expert
ment Station at Lawrence was es-
tablished especially for the pur-
pose of distributing infected bugs,
and they are not sent from the
station at Manhattan. Send YOUR
live bugs in a tin box (baking
powder can is good), with some
green wheat or corn and no dirt.
Do not make holes in the box for
air.
Injected bugs may also be OBJ
tanned by sending to Edward d.
Porter, Dean of Agricultural col
lege, Columbia. Mo.
1t is not necessary to send
live bugs to Columbia, as Mr..
Porter is getting bugs more rapid
ly than they can be infected. Send
him an order and the infected bugs
will be forwarded as soon as your
order can be filed.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
(oUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT. }
WASHINGTON, JULY 3, 1884,

WASHINGTON, JULY 3, 1894 .
1t is putting the ease very mildly
to say that the Democratic man
ayers have been in a state of fright
for several days past. Instead of
| trying to drive the tariff bill to a
vote they have actually been
scheming to prevent its being push
ed to a final vote before they were
certain of having the votes to pass
it. The adjournment of the Sen
ate from Friday until to-day,
after the bill had been reported to
the Senate from the committe of
the whole, was to enable the dem
cratic managers to put down the
revolt against the bill. They have
not yet succeeded, but they proba-
bly, will, and then they will rush
the bill for all they know how.
The Populists are at the head of
this revolt, but Senators Blanch-
ard. of Louisiana. who accuses the
Democratic managers of breaking
their pledges by agreeing to modi-
! fy the sugar schedule, and Hill, of
New York, whose plucky fight
against the income tax in the face
of certain defeat has excited the ad-
miration of his worst enemies. are
both in it up to their ears. This
revolt may delay the final vote on
the bill for two or three days and
may result in few more conces-
sion being made TO get the kickerS
back into the traces, but there is
no good reason to believe that ii
viii affect the final disposition of
the bill. The revolt wasn't or
ganized to defeat the bill, but
merely to obtain further conces-
sions for these who know that they
are in a position to defeat the bill
if their demands are finally refus-
ed, but who lack the courage to
defeat it even if they fail in get
ting the concessions they are after.
After all it matters little in what
shape the bill will pass the Senate.
The bill that will become a law, if
any does, will be shaped by the
Conference committee, and it may
