Transacts Business Without Quorum.

tives" article. In it General Harrison
gives this interesting view of the work.
ings of Congress: "a majority of each
house, under the constitution, consti-
tutes quorum for the transaction Of
business. fla quorum is not present,
and that fact is disclosed by yea and
nay vote, business must stop until
quorum is secured, But the members
present are empowered by the consti-
tuition to adjourn from day TO day and
to compel the attendance of absent
members, in such manner, and under
such penalties as each house may pro-
vide A great deal Of business is done
in both the senate and house when
quorum is not present, the absence OF
quorum not being officially disclosed
by roll-call. The sergeant-at-arms is
not an infrequent attendant at social
receptions and dinners, but always an
unwelcome one when he comes to de.
mand the attendance Of truant sena-
tors or members upon their respective
houses. One-fifth of the members pres
ent may demand a vote by yeas and
nays, and the vote must be recorded in
the journal which each house Is re-
quired to keep of its proceedings. This
journal does not include the debates,
which are, however, published in full
daily in the Congressional Record
"The senators and members are priv
ileged from arrest, except for treason,
felony or breach of the peace, while in
attendance upon their respective

Hop Yards Around Scio.

So far as we can learn, every one of
the many hop yards in the vicinity of
Scio, that was not plowed up last
year, will he cultivated this season.
Some OF the growers are now busily
at work putting their yards in order
and will be at work in few days, the
weather permitting. Some of the
growers have made contracts for their
products, but the most Of them prefer
to assume all risks themselves and oh
tain all the advance in price that all
hope will occur.
VIM. and Jake Bilyeu have leased
the Marion Alexander yards.
Ed Daley has leased the 7. J. Munk-
ers yards and is now putting them in
order Some sneak thief has entered
his hop house some time during the
past year aud carried off all of the
ropes and some Of the puleys. Ed
does not feel in an overly good humor
about the matter and is on the lookout
for the thief
Mr.. Grant Davis, Of Silverton, has
leased the Phillips yards and has com
menced plowing the same. Mr. Davis
is son.in-law of g. w, Phillips, from
whom he leases.
Should fortune favor our growers
with reasonably fair prices, together
with what will be paid for picking,
Scio ought to experience considerable
relief from the money famine of the
last two or three years. -Scio Press.

Denny Pheasants for Idaho.

DIR. Maberly and Hugh Fulton are
busy raising funds for the purpose Of
stocking the Boise valley with Chinese
ring-necked pheasalts, says the Boise
Statesman. 1t is their intention to
send to Oregon for 100 of these birds,
which they hope to have shipped by
the latter part Of April, as the birds
nest in May and June. Upon their ar
rival in Boise they will be turned loose
at various points over the valley.
Until 1900 the birds will be protected
by law. DIR. Maberly and Mr.. Fulton
think that by that time the valley will
be full of pheasants.
Some two years ago an effort was
made to propagate them in Garden
valley, but failed owing TO the fact
that their wings were clipped, in con-
sequence of which they were captured
by the coyotes,

When News is Scarce.

The printing shops sorry place,
When news is scarce.
The very earth seems off its base,
When news is scarce.
The clouds take on duller hue,
Our souls absorb the deep sky's blue,
The storms Of hell begin to brew,
When news is scarce.
Our peaceful dreams all vanished are,
When Dews is scarce.
Inhuman thoughts our reveries mar,
when news is scarce.
We long for riots, fights and brawls,
For ships destroyed in sudden squalls,
For children crushed meath falling
walls,
When news is scarce.
A thief's manna-feeding sprite,

Murderers' deeds seem strangely right,
When news Is scarce.
The yilest deeds OF fact or pen,
That ever came to mortal ken,
Would welcome be to paper men,
When news is scarce.

DANGER IN SODA.


Common soda is all right in its place
and indispensable in the kitchen and
Cor cooking and washing purposes. but
1t was never intended for a medicine,
and people who use i. as such will soma
day regret it.
We refer TO the common use OF soda
90 relieve heartburn or sour stomach, a
habit which thousands Of people prac-
lice almost daily, and one which is
fraught with danger; moreover the soda
only gives temporary relief and in the
end The stomach trouble gets worse and
worse.
The soda acts as a mechanical irri-
lant to the walls Of the stomach and
bowels and cases are on record where it
accumulated in the intestines, causing
death by Inflammation or p%eritonitis.
DR.. Harlandson recommends as The
safest and surest cure for sour stomach
(acid dyspepsia) a excellent prepare.
ton sold by druggists under the name o!
S,uart's Dyspepsia Tablets. These tab
Tets are large 20-grain lozengers, very
pleasant to taste and contain the nat
ural acids. peptones and digestive ele.
ments essential to good digestion, and
when taken after meals they digest the
food perfectly and promptly before i,
has time to ferment, sour and poison
the blood and nervous system.
DR.. Wuerth states that he invariably
uses Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets in all
cases OF stomach arrangements and
finds them a certain cure no only for
sour stomach, but by promptly digestins
the food they Great a healthy appetite,
increase flesh and strengthen the action
Of the heart and liver. They are no. a
cathartic, but intended only for stomach
diseases and weakness and will be found
reliable In any stomach trouble except
cancer OF the stomach. All druggists
sell Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at so
cents per package.

stomach weakness and their cause mail
