MEN WHO WILL SIT IN CONGRESS.
Reports at Washington Showing That 200
District. Are Republican.

washington, Nov. AT Republican
and Democratic congressional head
quarters last night the chairmen were
figuring on the complexion Of the next
house. Chairman Babcock gays that he
has complete reports from 1913 congress
sional districts which have elected Re-
pubiicans. There are l35 districts that
have elected Democrats or Populists
and % districts in which the returns
are incomplete. These he would class
as doubtful. with the prospect. that
the Republicans would secure at least
one-half of them. which would make a
total Republican membership in the
Fifty-fifth congress of .o7. II was safe
TO say that under no circumstances
would the membership fall below 900 Sem
ator Faulkner. chairman of the Demo-
cratic committee, although he did not
concede the Republicans a majority in
the next house. gave them l7s. within
or n majority. His statement con-
tanned a table and compared the COM
plexion OF the next house with that OF
the present one to show Democratic
gains. The following are among the

can committee:

Marvellous Results.

From a letter written by Rev. J. Gunderman of Dimondale, Mich.. we are permitted to make this extract: .I have po hesitation in recommending Dr.. Kings New Discovery. as the re- suits were almost marvellous in the case of my wife. While I was pastor of the Baptist church at Rives Junc- ton she was brought down with pneu. monia. succeeding la grippe. Terrible panxysms of coughing would last hours with little interruption and il, seemed as if she could not survive them. A friend recommended Dr..

Electric lSitters.

Electric Bitters is a medicine suited for any season. but perhaps more gen. erally when the languid, exhausted feeling prevails, when the liver is torpid and sluggish, and the need of a tonic and alternative ia felt. A prompt use of this medicine has often averted long and perhaps fatal bilious levers. No medicine will act more surely in coupteracting and freeing the system from the malarial poison.

Marriage and Divorce.

A council of preachers in Washing
ton passed resolutions requesting the
legislature to limit the grounds on
which divorce could be obtained in that
state, whereupon DR.. Mary A. Latham
of Spokane sent to The Outburst Of that
city set of resolutions requesting the
legislature to limit the grounds on which
a marriage license could be obtained in
Washington. just 90. This is the right
end at which to begin. Ministers are
keen enough to join in matrimony all
sorts and conditions of men and women
and pocket their fees for it, but when it
comes to divorce they shrow all the
blame on somebody else. They are will
ing to unite drunkards, gamblers, cpl
leptics, thieves and immoral characters
and all diseased persons fast enough.
They will join a worn out old roue
whose life has been one round of i'm
morality to the purest, sweetest young
girl in Christendom and call it "God s
holy ordinance. Shame on such priests
Let these preachers who are 30 ready to
perform the marriage ceremony look to
themselves and their own responsibility
for the prevalence of divorce.
