SENATE CONTROL ASSURED.

For the benefit of those who may be
in doubt about what will be the politi-
cal complexion of the next United
States senate, figures have been pre-
pared by the American Protective Tar
if league showing that a republican
majority in the upper house of the
Fifty-fifth congress is assured. This
the Press all along has maintained.
There are four states where republican
senators to succeed democratic mem
bers seem certain of election. In two
states republicans have been already
elected to the Fifty-fifth congress
Foraker in Ohio to succeed Brice. and
Wellington in Maryland to succeed
Gibson. The other four counted on as
sure are in New York, where Senator
Hills successor is to be chosen; in Wis
consin, to succeed Villas; in Indiana, to
succeed Voorhees,. and in Illinois, to
succeed Palmer. Then there are Kan
sas, South Dakota and Missouri, where
republican senators to succeed PETER.
Kyle and Vest are not improbable.
Counting the four states first mention
ed as certain to be represented by re-
publican senators in the next congress,
and letting the vacancies in Kentucky
and Delaware balance each other, the
new senate would stand: Re
publicans, Al: combined opposition, 43.
That is a conservative view. Should
I-,,-,. NJ;..n,,i and Cn,th naln4a
also eject republican senators, as seems
possible. the result would be: Repub-
licans. so: combined opposition. 40.
This computation takes no account of
the silver senators whose successors
are to be elected, they being classed
with the opposition. One class may be
sustained in Utah, which state Arthur
Brown now represents. Senator Brown
refused to bolt the st. Louis
tiCn, but his term does not expire until
March 4, 1898. So a tariff bill can be
passed before his successor, who may
be a free silver adherent, can be elect
ed. All of which goes to show that the
republicans are assured practically of

little friction or weight, propulsion was

A Wonderful Clock,

Two years ago South Chicago
jeweler calculated he would in all
probability live forty years. He knew
it takes at least two minutes to wind
the ordinary house clock. At that rate
he figured he would. during the rest
of his life, spend about sixty days of
his valuable time winding the clock.
Then he decided to make clock that
would have to be wound but once in
forty years.
He spent his odd minutes at the
task and has succeeded in producing
a wonderful piece of mechanism
the only one of its kind, he says, in
the world. 1t is fifteen inches in diam
eter and weighs seventy-five pounds.
The movement is geared SO that the
barrel wheel containing the main
spring revolvcs once in two and half
years. When this wheel has made
tiftY-six revolutions somebody will
have to give the key seventeen turns.
The clock will then be wound for an
other forty years. The first wheel
from the barrel wheel crowds around
y
dial plate is six inches in diameter.
Every part of this near approach to
perpetual motion was made by Mr..
Campbell, and. the work took most of
his leisure for two years. The move
ment is full jeweled. The clock will
be put in 70 Theoretically sealed glass
case, and it will work in vacuum,
thus lessening friction and preventing
the oil from drying. 1t will be impos.
sible for dust to get into the works.
So, il no accident occurs and Mr..
Campbell's calculations are correct,
this clock will be telling time, with
out any hand having touched it, when
Mr.. Campbells locks are white, when
the knickerbockered schoolboy of to-.
day is President of the United States.

They drew up at the station, where
lights twinkled from the blackness all
about them. There was no one on the
platform, there were none of the
shouts of welcome expected.
Kearney rushed into the car. "Say,
what do you think? They've left
every last one of them-on the train

Hearney re-appeared. He brought
with him can of oysters whereof the
top had been hacked open. "They're

Kitty was the daughter of the plains

She clapped her little hands in high

"We might use pencil, if you'd

"Or hatpin."
"No. I like the pencil idea better. "
Then Miss Foster took the pencil and
the can, and went to spearing the BIZ

"They were nice, but they've made
my head ache again." murmured Miss
Foster. "It's so close in here"
"Perhaps another breath OF fresh

"Maybe," assented she, and they

"Ohl Mr.. Kearne., you mustn't"
she cried, pulling away.
"But you're not engaged" he sug-

"That's so," answered Kitty,

GIudness Comes

XHJith better understanding of tho
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills which vanish before proper ef-
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant Efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated coudi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and Is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is tho
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without debilitating the
organs on which it acts. tits therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur.
chase, that you have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep
utable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then laxa-
tives or other remedies are not needed.
If afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most slsillful
physicians, but if in need of laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
the well-informed everywhere, Syrup OF
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.

The tax on National bank issues Is
