FIFTY FOURTH CONGRESS.
WASHINGTON, June 4
SENATE.

The consideration of the resolution
offered by Mr.. Morgan as to the Com
petitor prisoners in Cuba was postponed
till tomorrow.
The conference report on the naval
appropriation bill was taken up, the
question being on the motion of Mr..
Quay, that the Senate recede from its
amendment reducing the number of
battleships from four to two.
Mr.. German, one of the conferees,
said that he did not desire to debate
the matter any further than he had
already done when the matter was first
before the Senate. In his judgment it
would not be wise to proceed more
rapidly than heretofore in the construc.
ton of these great ships, as improve
ments were being continually. made or
discovered. As to the expenditure of
money, that was question with which
the Senate and House were familiar.
The vote was taken on Mr.. Quay's
motion to recede from the amendment
reducing the number of battleships to
be contracted for from four to two, and
the motion was defeated-yeas, II;
nays, 39.
The conference report was then agreed
to, and further conference was or
dered.
The conference report on the Indian
appropriation bill was then taken up,
and without further discussion it was
agreed to: Yeas, 81; nays, 20.
The contest against it in the Senate
had been the provision imposing citizen
ship on the Indians of the FIVE civilized
tribes. The effect of the vote Is to
make that provision definite and final.
Mr.. Lodge moved to recede from the
Senate amendment which allows con-
tract schools for Indian children to be
continued till July, 1895. Rejected
yeas II, nays 81.
A further conference was ordered on
that subject.
Mr.. Gear moved TO fix the Sth day OF
the next session for considering the
Pacific Railroad funding bill, but Mr.:
Teller and other Senators objected, and
the "filled cheese" bill came up as the
unfinished business-Mr. Gear giving
notice that he would renew his motion
tomorrow morning.
Mr.. Vest addressed the Senate in OF
position to the filled cheese bill.
Mr.. Sherman, in charge of the bill,
advocated its passage. The complaint
was, he said, that in order to get up q
cheap form OF cheese, the makers of it
used only skinned milk and added to
it lard, largely of the hog, rendered or
melted. That was what was called
"6lled cheese It was skinned milk
cheese, filled with lard. That WAS all
that there was in the case. 1t had grown
to be a great abuse, as it injured large
industry in many agricultural States.

Health and Beauty

Are questions which occupy the mind o. al
most every Lady. In the early days of mod.
ern civilization laws were passed prohibiting
women from enhancing their charms by arti'
fetal means, but to-day q lady who does not
possess the necessary adjuncts for such inn.
proyements, does not conform to the demands
of the times. 1t is part Of woman's sphere
to make herself as beautiful as possible. I'm.
provement in looks, improvement in COM
plexion, and improvement in physical condi
ton can be easily secured, if lady will only
follow the laws of common sense, by wearing
one of our AMERICAN LADY CORSETs,
we now have in stock. No. 900. Six Hook
Extra long waist.
This Corset is made Of best quality jeans,
and stiffened with wido bones. Front steels
are 14th inches long, and have six clasps.
We offer it as one of our best values for the
price, and are confident it will please the

The AMERICAN LADY NURSING COR
SET for 81 is the best on the market.
A better value cannot be found than our

Couldn't Stand the Ghost.

Frem the Pittsburg Post.
Chapnaux, an old experienced
track walker between Golfers and
Holidays Cove, has resigned his
position on account of a very strange
object that gets on the track in front
of him at Eagle Nest cut. MIR Traux
is as brave a man as ever walked
tracks for the Panhandle, but he
says that he cannot facs this thing
any longer and live. "Chap" des-
cribes his strange looking object as
looking somewhat like a young colt.
He has tried his trusty revolver upon
it time after time, but with no effect,
and he prides himself ss being the
crack shot of Brooke county. He
has at last concluded that he has
seen the ghost of Wise Owings'
blooded mare, from which Chapman
was anxious to have foal, but when
his hopes were about to be realized,
the mare took sick and died. Chap
man has worried himself very much
over this matter. All his friends
cannot convince him, but what it is Q
genuine ghost that he has seen.
"When shoot at thing q dozen
times and the thing don't drop, ys
can't tell me it is no ghost" is the
clincher "Chap" generally gets in
when his friends tell him he is ''gum

The Yulo LOG.

In some parts of Germany the Yule
log is placed on the hearth ON Christ
mas eve and if possible kept burning
for two or three days. Then piece Of
it is laid aside for the purpose of light
ing the next years log and of guarding
the household from harm. Pieces Of fir
wood charred but not quite burnt out
in the Christmas fire are also placed un-
der the family bed in some German viii
lagos to avert the dreaded lightning
stroke, which appears in this relation to
be the type of fire in its evil aspect, in
contradistinction from the solar orb, the
representative of benefcent light and
warmth. The custom of burning Yule
log for three days and nights in each
homestead is almost certainly survival
from the alteration once offered to the
sun at the winter solstice.
Three centuries after the Christian
era sun worship was still maintained in
Brittany, and in Normandy not more
than 100 years ago the household fire
was extinguished on Dec. "a and the
Christmas log was ignited by the aid of
q fame procured from the lamp burning
in the neighboring church. This fact af-
fords curious instance of the probable
transference of respect and reverence
from the sacred fire Of a purely heathen
creed to the ecclesiastical lights Of Ca
tholicism. When the pagan rites for pro-
curing unsullied fire were forbidden or
fell into desuetude, the ideas to which
they owed their origin and development,
instead of perishing, continued to exist
more OF less perfectly by attaching
themselves to usages and ceremonies
having no direct association with them.

In the Beginning

of a new year, when the winter sea-
son of close confinement is only half
gone, many find that their health be.
gins to break down, that the least ex-
posure threatens sickness. It is
then as well as at all other times,
and with people even in good health,
that the following facts should be re-
membered, namely: that Hoods Sar
saparilla leads everything in the way
of medicines; that it sccomplisnes
the greatest cures in the world; has
the largest sale in the world, and re
quires the largest building in the
world devoted exclusively to the prep
aratlon of the proprietary medicine.
Does not this conclusively prove, if
you are sick, that Hoods Sarsaparil-
la is the medicine for you to takes

IRRIGATION IN DAKOTA

is causing that much maligned Sec
tioD of the Western country to bios
som like the rose. Quoting from a
published article on the subject, it is
stated that "Mep who are accustom
ed to farming in non irrigated dis
tricts are slow to believe the reports
Of enormous yields of all kinds of
farm products in those sections of the
country whore irrigation is practic
ed" An irrigated 40 acre farm pro-
duces greater and better results than
q $40 acre farm cultivated in the or
dinary way. In few weeks we hope
to be able to publish various items
from Observation-Disclosures giving their
personal experience in irrigation
