CONGRESS Elk PRES.
Last of the Appropriation Bills Slides
Through and is
Signed.

Washington, ID. O., March 4.-On the
stroke of noon, the Fifty third Congress,
with it's sins of omission and commission.
passed into history.
Both houses were ready for adjourn
ment promptly and the oft-trled fake of
turning back the hands of the clock was
not necessary.
The Fifty-third Congress has been i'll
session more days than almost any other
Congress, and it has brought more in
jury to business, more trouble to the
people, more discredit to the country than
any other. It's demise has been earnestly
desired and will afford the country great
relief. The closing scenes in the House
were in the nature of an enthusiastic
wake Perfunctory resolutions Of thanks
to the speaker were passed by rising
vote, but it was noticeable that Reed did
not rise, nor did Payne of New York, nor
Dalzell of Pennsylvania, each of whom
wants to be chairman of the committee
on ways and means. 1t will be recalled
that four years ago the Democrats to a
man refused for such a resolution
in honor of Reed. In their bigotry and
narrowmindedness they denied him this
empty compliment The Republicans of
the House had better manners than the
Democrats of the Fifty-third, and the
resolution was offered by Cannon of Hi
nois and supported generally by Repub-
leans Crisp was Justify cheered when
he resumed the chair after the adoption
of the resolution and again at the conclu-
sion of his address. Altogether, for a
funeral, 1t was quite cheerful affair.
There will be no extra session, so the
country can so its own gait for at least

REDUCE ITS POWER.
Plan to Reduce the Influence of APP
preparations Com
mittee.

Washington, D. c., March AT 4
o'clock this morning Senator Dubois in
troduced a resolution in the Senate and
asked for its immediate consideration. 1t
was to the effect that the standing rules
of the Senate be amended by striking
out the words ''all general appropriation
bills shall be referred to the committee
on appropriations except bills making APP
preparations for rivers and harbors, which
shall be referred to the committee or
commerce. and inserting clauses which
would refer appropriation bills to the
various committees the same as is done
with measures not carrying appropria-
tons.
Senator Aldrich objected and there
fore the resolution failed, but Senator
Dubois gave notice that he would renew it
in the Fiftyfourth Congress.
There for some time existed a latent
feeling in the Senate that the appropria-
tons committee had too great a control
of the affairs of the Senate.

STATEHOOD FOR UTAH.
Constitutional Convention in SeS-
SiOn-Struggle for Forty
Years.

Salt Lake, Utah, March 4.-This is
the day for opening the constitutional
convention and was hailed with delight
by the inhabitants of this valley, whose
aspirations and constant endeavor for
statehood have extended over period of
more than forty years. The six previ-
Gus conventions which were held adj
journed only to see their hope shattered
and statehood deferred.
Ihis convention, unlike the six which
preceded it, enters upon it's labors I'M
der the inspiring assurances that state
hood will speedily follow the completion
of its work. The history of Utah's forty
years struggle for statehood is of special
interest at this time. The struggle began
IN less than two years after the settle
ment of the Mormon pioneers in Salt
Lake valley

STRUCK AN ICEBURG.
Menominee Young Man Seriously Injured
While Iceboating.


While Iceboating.
Menominee, Mich, March 4.-Yester-
day while George Brooks, son of J. r.
Brooks of the court house, and G. L.
Cook were on their way across Green
bay to Fish creek, the iceboat on which
they were riding became unmanageable

the two-inch iron tiller and threw Brooks
over twenty feet, cutting his scalp open
and he was otherwise seriously, and pos
sibly fatally, injured. He was taken
home delirious, but may recover Mr.

time before the accident and so escaped
injury.

into a hole in the ice this morning while
out iceboatng, about a mile and half
from Green island. All were thrown into
the water excepting Chief Lemieux, who
succeeded in pulling the boys out, but not
until one of them, named Belanger, was

AN ALPENA MIRACLE.
RAPIDS, DlSCARDS HER
CRUTCHES.
In an Interview with a Reporter She
Reviews Her Experience and Tells

In an Interview with a Reporter She
Reviews Her Experience and Tells
the Real Cause of the Miracle.
from the 14rgus, 14Lbena, lNich.l
We have long known Mrs. JAS NJ
Todd, of Long Rapids, Alpena County,
Mich. She has been a sad cripple. Many
of her friends know the story of her re-
covery; for the benefit of those who do
not we publish it to-day.
Eight years ago she was taken with
nervous prostration, and in a few months
with muscular and infammatory rheuma-
tism. It affected her heart, then her
head. Her feet became so swollen she
could wear nothing on them; her hands
were drawn all out of shape. Her eyes
were swollen shut more than half tho
time her knee joints terribly swollen aud
for eighteen months she had to be held
up to be dressed. One limb became en-
tirely helpless and the skin was SO dry
and cracked that it would bleed. During
these eight years she had been treated
by a score of physicians, and has also
spent much time at Ann Arbor under
best medical advice. All said her trouble
was brought on by hard work and that
medicine would not cure, and that rest
was the only thing which would ease her.
After going to live with her daughter
she became entirely helpless and could
not even raise her arms to cover herself
at night. The interesting part of the
story follows in her own words:
Il was urged to try DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People and at last did So
In three days after | commenced taking
Pink Pills / could sit up and dress my
self, and after using them SIX weeks L
went home and commenced working. |
continued taking the pills, until now |
begin to forget my clutches, and can go
up and down steps without aid. L am
truly a living wonder, walking out Of
doors without assistance.
"NoW, if / can say anything to induce
those who have suffered as | have to try
Pink Pills | shall gladly do so. If other
like sufferers will try Pink Pills accord
ing to directions they will have reason to
thank God for creating men who are able
to conquer that terrible disease, rheuma-
tism [ have in my own neighborhood
recommended Pink Pills for the after
effects of la grippe, and weak women
with impure blood, and with good re-
sults''
Mrs Todd is very strong in her faith in
the curative powers of Pink Pills, and
says they have brought q poor, helpless
cripple back to do her own milking, churn-
ing, washing, sewing, knitting, and in
fact about all of her household duties,
thanks to DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
Dr. Williams Pink Pills contain all the
elements necessary to give new life and
richness to the blood and restore shattered
nerves They are for sale by all drug
gists, or may be had by mail from DR..

ICE GORGE BREAKS.

Lancaster Pa, March 4.-The gorge in

reported to be forty or fifty feet high At
noon today the gorge at Safe Harbor

bridge of the Port Deposit road over the
Conestoga creek and over ten carloads of
COAL which had been run on it to weight

reported broken, but as the telegraph
wires are down the news lacks conirma-

Dor for fear the gorge at Turkey Hill will
