THE NEXT CONGRESS.
The Senate Will Have Silver Ma
jority and the House will be Close.

The next Senate will undoubtedly have a
majority in favor of the free coinage of gold
and silver, as the present one has, and the
silver sentiment in the House will without
doubt be largely increased. In the present
House the Republicans have pa members and
Democrats and Populists liz. The next
House will probably have 152 Democrats and
16 Populists, with u districts in doubt.
Senator Faulkner, chairman of the Demo-
cratic Committee, although he does not con-
cede the Republicans a majority in the next
House, gives them 176, within three of ma
iority. HIS statement, issued Wednesday
night. contains the following table:

The crowd that bolted Bryan and then

Palmer and voted for Mckinley. There
were about twelve thousand of them in
Baltimore, and Palmer received less than
fourteen hundred votes. In voting for
Mckinley they voted with the party to
which they naturally belong, but they
acted very dishonorably toward Palmer

Snow in the Northwest.

HURON, S. D., Nov. Five inches ofvery
heavy snow fell here last night, making foot
now on the ground. The storm north and
west is reported very severe, and farmers are
wholly unprepared for winter. Telegraph
poles and wires are down between here and
Pierre, and no communication with that city
has been had by wire since Thursday evening.
Trains are only slightly delayed.

for 5000, 600 worth of bicycles.

Group is terror to young mothers, and to
post them concerning the cause, first symp-
toms and treatment is the object of this item.
The origin of Group is a common cold. Chill
dren who are subject to it take cold very
easily and Group is almost sure to follow.
The first symptom is hoarseness; this is soon
followed by peculiar rough cough, which is
easily recognized and will never be forgotten
by one who has heard it. The time to act is
when the child first becomes hoarse. If
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is freely given
all tendency to Group will soon disappear.
Even after the croupy cough has developed it
will prevent the attack. There is no danger
in giving this remedy, for it contains nothing
injurious. For sale by Joseph D. Zepp,

The mills and factories that were closed
to influence employees to vote for Mckinley
are getting ready to reopen, and this is
termed business revival.

all such, and suggest to farmers not to

BALLROOM BICYCLING.

sey's House.
The all-conquering bicycle has had
many triumpns, but its latest conquest
is its greatest.
1t has invaded the ballroom and when
Lord and Lady Brassey gave their ball
of the season at government house, Mel
bourne, some weeks ago. musical ride
ON bicycles was an important item in
the programme. 1t was an adaptation
of the musical ride of the Household
brigade.
The ladies wore cycling costumes of
pale blouses, with dark blue ties ana
dark blue skirts. The dress of the men
was return to knee breeches and
stockings, and in color harmonized
with the dresses of the ladies'.
Some days before the ball a rehearsal
was held in a large suburban drill
room with peculiarly appropriate en-
vironments, for a ball had been held
the night before. The floor was so
highly polished that French chalk had
to be used to minimize that dread of all
cyclists, side-slidng. Both the figures
and the commands indicated blend of
the cavalry ride and the quadrille. AL
though one lady in particular came
down several times, she did it so deity
that there was barely an interruption
to the movement. Another lady in a
Holland costume, turning sharply too
near the wall, was unseated, but re-
mounted so quickly that only an ex-
pert cyclist could detect that the move
ment was not part of the rehearsal.
We have not yet heard how the real
ride went off, the mail not having
brought the account to hand.--London

Tell Mayor McCarty III be down

lac gave them good-by. NO, give him q
note for me-" And he scrubbed on the
leaf of a memorandum book, tore it
out, sealed it, and gave it to Wallace.
Then they took another drink and
shook hands for the fifteenth time,
parting solemHly.
-Four days Haggerty and Wallace
climbed up hills for the monotonous
pleasure of climbing down again. Four
nights they rolled themselves in dusty
blankets and slept the sleep of the hope
full. Hour by hour they hammered the
stubborn little burros, but could not
make them trot; met Indian squaws
riding straddle on detected ponies:
forded streams where the current was
swift 9sid treacherous; and then they
came at shutdown to the crossing of
Sage run.
Seems to me we ought to see the
lights of the city" said Haggerty.
We'll, he said the main street runs up
the hill, instead of across, you know"
was Wallace's reply.
They crept along the bank, but the
burros would not take TO the water in
the darkness. So they rolled them
selves in their blankets for final camp.
and swore they would eat breakfast at
the best hotel in the morning.
When the coyotes barked, just before
daybreak, Haggerty arose and climbed
height that lowered above Sage run
and dominated the whole canyon where
Deep Cullen lay. There he lighted his
pipe, and waited for sunrise. When it
came, he threw pebbles down at the
sleeping burros till their braying
walked the editor.
Come up here" called Haggerty;
and Wallace FASTENED to him. As he
reached the summit, he flashed one
look along that empty canyon, then
staggered, and sank down on the stones
He recovered, and looked again.
There was no stampmill. There was
no store; there was not even a
saloon from Sage run to the very
apex of Honeycomb rock The
double house had vanished, and the
shanty which sheltered the printing
office in old days was all that was left
of the metropolis.
Wallace opened the letter addressed
to the mayor, unfolded the scrap of
paper. and read:
Dear Mr.. Wallace: Maybe you can I'M
load on someone else. 1t is the only way
to make journalism pay in the provinces.
