Der of Clerks.
SALEM, Or, Feb. 5.-In the senate
this morning, after the usual prelimi.
naries, the committee on penal institu.

ayes to 13 nays.
The senate had long debate on

discussion was continued. The amend
meut WAS finally adopted, and the bill

To Carry Big sticks.

TACOMA, Wash, Feb. 6.-An order
for 100 41-foot fiat cars of 10000 pounds
capacity has been placed at the South
Tacoma car shops, and it is expected
that the order would be increased to
1000cars. These cars are being con-
structed to carry sticks of greater
length and weight than can be carried
on the present cars. 1t is expected
that the Union Pacific will place a
large order for general freight cars,
as cars of that description can be con-
structed much cheaper on the coast
that at any Eastern point.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. "A Chron'
icle special from Chico, says:
What might have proved a very dis.
astrous wreck, but was fortunately un.
attended by loss of life, occurred at
NOrd about eight miles from Chico,
early this morning. The northbound
Oregon express, being 10 minutes be-
hind time, the southbound train was
ordered TO sidetrack at Nord and wait
for the northbound to pass. AS the
train pulled up on the side track, it
was found that, as box car had been
left standing, it was necessary for the
express TO slacken speed and push the
box car ahead. Just then the north
bound train was seen approaching
down the track with no intention of
stopping. 1t was impossible for the
engineer or the north bound to see the
headlight of the southbound, as it was
behind the box car. Before all the
cars of No. 16 could get on the side
track, the other train struck them.
The engine struck the smoker first,
plowing its way along to the next car,
which was the tourist car, turning it
completely over, but leaving the trucks
on the track. In this car, the passen-
gers were thrown from their seats to
the lower side of the car, which was
lying in a deep pool of water alongside
Of the track. The passengers at first
thought they had been throw from a
trestle into some river.
In this car were seven deserters from
the regular army, handculfed together
and guarded by'six soldiers. Forum
ately, the lamps in the car immed-
lately went out, and only few Goals of
fire fell from the stove, and those were
soon extinguished by the water that
came rushing through the broken

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-Senator AID
rich and other friends of the Nicara
qua canal bii! have had conferences
with Speaker Reed and other house
leaders during the day res arding the
possibility of the bill being brought
up in the house in case it should pass
the senate. The result is that the bill
will be abandoned in the senate next
Monday and the hSpkruptcy bill
brought forward.
Friends of the Nicaragua bill, while
in a majority, doubt if the senate can
be brought to vote, but they know
the futility of their efforts unless there
is some assurance that the bill will re-
ceive consideration in the house.
Nothing but physical test would
bring the bill to vote now, and a
large number of those supporting the
bill will not subject it to such test
when it will not even be taken up in
the house.
The conference today convinced the
senators that the Nicaragua canal bill
will not receive consideration in the
house. and they decided it was better
to withdraw it.

Edison Makes a New and Valuable Dis
cOyery.


NEW YORK, Feb. S.-Thomas A.
| Edison is about to give to the world
another discovery as wonderful in its
way as the horoscope, by means of
which he puts the x rays to practical
use in revealing the bony structure of
the body.
"It was," said he, "the action of the
X ray on crystals of platinocyanide of
barium which caused Roentgen to
make the original discovery. Iimmedi-
ately afterwards discovered that tung-
state of calcium was more powerful and
constructed a practical instrument
for utilizing the crystals in connection
with the X ray. Tungstate OF calcium
is not sufficiently sensitive to trans
form the strange light discovered by
RoeDtgen to light that would so il
Illuminate the interior of the human
body as to render its most delicate
tissues visible, in other words, to make
it transparent"
Mr.. Edison set about to find crystal
which would possess the quality. He
has discovered one. Its name he will
not yet reveal, saying he is still
experimenting with it, and desires to ]
exhaust it's possibilities befoEs
nouncing it to the world.

A Bridge Kept In Repair by Mussels.


 The byssus, or silky beard, by which the mussel moors itself to the stone, is familiar object of our sea rocks It is in it's nature like the silk of the silk worm and exudes in a glutinous thread from an organ at the base of the foot.
 The following is an instance in which the mooring of the mussel was useful to effect a purpose which human skill could not accomplish. A large bridge, with 20 arches, in the town of Biddeford, in Devonshire, crosses the Torridge river near the spot of its junction with the Taw
 The tide flows so very rapidly here that it was focnd impossible to keep the bridge in repair by means of mortar. The corporation therefore keeps boats employed in bringing mnssels to it, and the interstices of the bridge are filled by hand with these mussels.
 It is supported from being driven away by the tide entirely by the strong threads which these mussels fix to the stonework, and by an act or grant it is crime liable to transportation for any person to remove the mussels unless in the presence and by the consent of the cooperative trustees.

 s'For years had suffered with pain ful menstruation every month. One day a little book of Mrs. Pinlzhams was thrown into my house, and l sat right down and read it. I then got some of Lydia B.
