account OF the opening OF the present
session OF the legislature OF that country
together with extracts from the message
Of President Zelaya. According TO the
message, Nicaragua Is gradually freeing
herself from debt. When President Eel

felt in the national treasury, and the
country was with limited credit at home
and abroad. During his incumbency
SS7s,S79 OF the foreign debt has been paid,
and $2.la,446 OF the domestic debt, leav-
ing In the treasury S7l3.l79. Referring to
these figures. President Zelaya says such
a rate OF payment Will free the republic
from debt In three years. 1t Is not pro-
posed, however to keep on reducing the
debt so rapidly The domestic debt Is
now small, and the foreign debt amounts

est, with twenty years to run. with somB
OF this surplus income the president pro-
poses TO build railroad limo from Lake

WORK DEFORE THE SENATE.
siIverite Jones of Nevada May Hold
Up the Tari6 BiII.

Washington, Feb. 2-The Senate does not
convene again until Tuesday. II has no
unfinished business before II, and conse-
quently the course OF procedure during
the week may depend largely upon the
action of the finance committee upon the
tariff bill Republicans hope to be able
to report that measure Tuesday. but Mr..
Jones of Nevada, who holds the balance
Of power in the committee and who has
insisted upon the sugar schedule being
raised In the same proportion as the
other schedules, stated yesterday that he
thought the bill would not be ready to
report on Tuesday This was said some
hours after the free silver amendment
had passed the Senate and Is therefore
regarded as indicating that Mr.. Jones'
opposition to the speedy reporting of the
tariff bill has something besides silver
back of II.
Mr. Dubois has kept his resolution pro-
viding for a distribution OF the appro-
priation bills among the various commit
tees In the background, because OF his
desire not to antagonize the silver bill.
That being now out of the way, it Is not
unlikely that he may call this resolution
up at an early day.

TO OVERTHROW HOHENLoHE.
Coalition of German Parties to Shake
His Influence.

London, Feb. 2.-The Berlin correspon-
dent of the Times telegraphs that the
agrarian, conservative and Bismarck par
ties have entered into a scheme to over
throw Chancellor Won Hohenlohe, who
does not favor the emperor's proposals
for increasing the naval strength of the
empire. There Is no sign that the chan
cellor's position has been shaken, but
the coalitions hope to overthrow him is
based on the emperor's energetic temperz
and his inSistence on the fullflment of
his desires. Either Count Won Waldersee
and Count Wartensleben is mentioned as
Chancellor Won Hohenlohe's successor,
but their names are mentioned merely be-
cause a premature disclosure of the real
candidates name would jeopardize the
scheme. 1t is believed in some quarters
that the real candidate of the coalition is
Count Herbert Bismarck, but the cores
pondent adds perhaps, the suggestion of
this name is made by friends of the chan
cellor in order to defeat the scheme by
connecting with II a name which Is dis
tasteful to the emperor.

his scrutinizing guage falls on our

of fodder" is what we need. He
goes home and sends his buggy
after us, and we have a delightful
time froiicking in the greens,
playing with Chickens, hiding eggs
and cooling our throat with rich
cream clabber. Morriss is a good
thoughtful man, and if we did not
visit him occasionally, we do not
believe we would be here long, but
would go on before, and help pre-
pare a place for him, when he
makes his final period on this earth.
Mr.. Morriss has good crop, and
his place shows that it is worked by
master hands.
We drove over to Sheriff Charles
Moores in the afternoon, and found
HIM on his back. He had two
colored men giving him massage,
and after they we're through he
said he felt much better. We are
sorry that Charlie is completely
broken down, and hope may strike
on some medicine or water that will
restore him to health again.

Is it "overwork" that has filled
this country with nervous dyspep-
tics?- that takes the flesh off their
bones, the vitality from their blood
and makes them feeble, emanciated
and inefficient? No. 1t is bad cook
ing, overeating of indigestible stuff,
and other health.d destroying habits,
The remedy is an arti6cially di-
gested food such as the Shaker
Digestive Cordial. Instead of irri.
tating the already inhamed stom-
ach the Cordial gives it a chance to
rest by nourishing the system itself
and digesting other food taken with
it. So flesh and strength return.
Is not the idea rational? The Cor.
dial is palatable and relieves imme'
diately, No money risked to decide
