WASHINGTON, Feb. % The senate has
given another day to the sundry civil ap-
preparation bill without completing it and
without taking up the vital points con
cerning financial legislation The i'm
portant feature of the day was a short,
sharp and decisive contest on the sugar
bounty question, resulting in the success
of those advocating the payment of the
bounty prematurely cut off by the enact
ment of the tariff law. The proposed
bounty aggregates s., 200 900, as stated in
the amendments adopted but Mr.. Mitchell
gave it as his belief that it would reach
SS,OOOOOO. A point of order was raised
against the amendment, but the senate
voted it in order 46 to 13.
After this vote the success of the bounty
proposition was assured, although efforts

In the course of the debate Mr.. German
warned the senate that this bounty prop
osltion would add to existing deficiencies
which, he said, would reach S600O0, 900 for
the present year The final votes on the
bounty proposition showed the friends of
the amendment very strong and they car
ried the amendment easily.

important amendment providing for re

liable aid, and to friends he recommended
the use of the remedy for shattered
nerves.
Overhearing his conversation, friend
asked him to write down his experience
for the use of others so afflicted. In re-
sponse he wrote as follows:
Dear Sir--In obedience to your request,
state some of my personal knowledge of
the value of Paine's celery compound as
medical remedy for certain Affections and
diseases, as follows, namely:
Judging from my own experience, it
is first class remedy to restore the ner-
vous system when broken down or i'm
paired from overwork of mind or body,
revivifying the energies. 1t strengthens
the digestive powers and cures costiveness;
truly it is a great nerve tonic, good
Alternative, splendid diuretic. 1t is good
for the kidneys and the blood, renews
vitality, and restores strength. 1t sur
