Arkansas Pass Beacon speaks
hopefully of the prospects OF secur-
ing the signatures OF the Messers
Alex. Brown & Co. to that deep
water contract, upon the showing
already made. The Beacon has
had the hope that's spring eternal
in the human breast at every stage
OF the efforts put forth for deep
water at the Pass for the last six
years. 1t should be rewarded for
it's faith and its works as we'll, for
it has labored and prayed and
tasted and wept and has not faint
ed. It's courage has been sublime.
The farmers society that holds a

face of that: mine million bale

900, and changing the members of the

ing to ten days in any one year.
The senate also passed the house
bill which makes it felony for any
officer of state, county, city or town.
ship TO accept anything of value for
his vote, judgment or action. One Sec

didate to give any valuable thing for
votes or help in any caucus or conven-

HOUSE PROCEEDINGS.
The first action of the house was to
adopt a resolution offered by Mr..
Campbell, of Stafford, that the intro
dGction of all except appropriation
bills should cease at noon Tuesday.
Mr.. Beekman offered a concurrent
resolution that after u o'clock Thurs
day night neither house should con-

Shearer's bill regulating public stock
yards. The full committee was not
present, bat all who were voted in
favor of the report. Mr.. Painter, who
was acting chairman of the sub-com-
mittee, is a firm believer in the value
of the stock yards as a Kansas in
stitution. He says that it not only es-
tablishes a market for Kansas stock
growers. but il adds to the taxab va
uation of the state and furnishes en-
ployment for from 1000 to 1900 men
annually. who provide food, clothing
and shelter for $1,000 persons.
The house passed the bills prevent

elimination by employers of labor

Language of a Dogs Tall

1t is no doubt startling conclusion,
but Dr. Louis Robinson, who has been
investigating the mysteries of canine
language, has practically set up the
theory that dog speaks with his tail
tip. In the case of all hunting dogs
which pack together the tail is carried
aloft and is very free in movement.
There is no doubt that fox hounds ha-
bitually watch the tails of those in
front of them when drawing a covert.
If faint drag is detected, suggestive
of the presence of fox, but not suffi-
cient to be sworn to vocally, the tail of
the finder is set in motion. and the
warmer the scent the quicker does it
wag. Others seeing the signal instant
" join the first, and there is an assem-
blage of waving tails before even the
least whisper is heard. Should the
drag prove a doubtful one the hounds
separate again and the waving ceases,
but if it grows stronger when followed
up the wagging becomes more en-
phatic, until one after another the
hounds begin to whine and give tongue
and stream off in Indian file along the
lines of scent When the pack is at
full cry upon a strong scent the tails
cease to wave, but are carried aloft in
full view.-London Dispatch.

The rule is simple: BE guided entirely by

reply is in bad taste if it be not in

that a verdict was reached.
The Howgate trial has been unusual
in many ways. Fourteen years ago
important frauds affecting large sums
of money were discovered in the signal
service accounts and Howgate was
charged with having committed them.
He was arrested, but by a ruse escaped
from the guards and for thirteen years
remained in New York city. Although
a reward of S., 600 was offered for his
capture he was not arrested until last
fall.
The jury found that the case was not
barred by the statute of limitation, but
held that Howgate was not guilty of
the particular offenses charged. After
the verdict was rendered HOwgate was
sent back to await trial on the seven
indictments still remaining against
him

AN ALPENA MIRACLE.
Mrs. Jas. M. Todd, of Long Rapids,
Discards Her Clutches.
In an Interview with a Reporter She Re-
views Her Experience and Tells the
Real Cause of the Miracle.
(From he Araas. Alpena. lGeh.l

We have long known Mrs. Jas. NJ Todd,
Of Long Rapids, Alpena Co, Mich. She
has been a sad cripple. Many of her friends
know the story of her recovery; for the
benefit of those who do not we publish it TO-
iay.
Eight years ago she was taken with nerv-
Gus prOstration, and in few months with
muscular and iuflammatory rheumatism.
1t 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 the time, her knee joints terribly
swollen and for eighteen months she had
to be held up to be dressed. One limb be
came entirely 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 medi-
cal 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 entire
ly helpless and could not even raise her
arms to cover herself at night. The inter-
esting part of the story follows in her own
words:
81 was urged to try DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People and at last did so. In
three days after l commenced taking Pink
Pills could sit up and dress myself, and
after using them six weeks 1 went home
and commenced working. 1 continued
taking the pills, until now begin to forget
my crutches, and can go up and down steps
without aid. 1 am truly living wonder,
walking out of doors without assistance"
NOW, IL l can say anything to induce
those who have suffered as I have. to try
Pink Pills, I shall glady do so. If other
like sufferers will try Pink Pills according
to directions, they will have reason to thank
God for creating men who are able to con-
Quer that terrible disease, rheumatism.
have in my own neighborhood recommend
ed Pink Pills for the after effects OF Ia
grippe, aud weak women with impure
blood, and with good results"
Mrs. Todd is very strong in her faith in
the curative powers of Pink Pills, and says
they have brought poor helpless cripple
back to do her own milking, churning
washing, sewing, knitting, and in fact about
all of her household duties, thanks to DR..
Williams Pink Pills.
DIR. 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 druggists,
or may be had by mail from DR.. Williams
Medicine Company, Schenectady, n. ",
for SOC. per box, or six boxes for $3.50.
