Mr.. Morgan said, however, that there
was no disposition on the Democra tic
side to retaliate against appropriation
bills or the tariff bill when they came
before the senate.The Democrats would
forbear from resorting to this method
of fhbustering.
Mr.. Gear said he resented the charg-
es of Mr.. Morgan as to a filibusterer
A quorum had not been there to con-
slider this important question, and for
this reason he had opposed considering
it. He expressed disapproval of the
resolution saying it would make the
government put IS, 000 GOO more into
these roads. He also criticised the res
olution as originally framed as design
ed to bring about government owner
snip and operation of this extensive
railway property
Mr.. Harris, the author of the resolu-
ton, spoke in support of it, arguing
that the governments interests would
be put in jeopardy if the proposed
agreement for the sale of the govern
ment lien in the Union Pacific was ex-

Speaking of his visit, Rev Lamont

ARMOUR'S OMAHA PLANT.
Active Operations on the Structure,
Which is to Cost 81, 100000. Begun.

Omaha, Neb., July 15.-Armour & Co.
are now at work on their packing plant
at South Omaha in earnest. The great
structure will cost 81 600, 900 and will be
a duplicate in every respect to the big
Chicago plant of that company. 1t Will
be in operation, according to contract,
by January 1. The force now employ
ed on the Armour packing house site
will be doubled. Another steam show
ell has been sent for, which, it is ex-
pected, will arrive Wednesday. By that
time the buildings on the site will be
moved and there will be plenty of room
for the two steam shoVels to work. An
additional road grader is now on the
ground.
With the second steam shovel will
come Is additional dirt cars, making
the total number of cars thus in use
SO. The Union Stock Yards company
commenced thisamorning laying a sec
ond track for the graders and when
this is completed the road graders as
we'll as the steam machines will dump
the dirt on to cars. This will hasten
the work considerably.
y. >. Saylor has arrived from Chicago
and will act as auditor of accounts and
disbursing officer during the construc-
ton of the Armour plant Two hum
dred men are now employed on the
work and as soon as the two additional
graders are put to work the number
will be increased to 400.

HARRIS WAKES SENATE.
Battles Five Hours to Get His Pacific
Railroad Resolution Through.

Washington, July 15.-The senate was
in a deadlock for several hours yeSteI'-
day, with business at a StandStill. while
calls of the senate, roll calls and other
parliamentary eXpedients were resort
ed to. 1t was due to the effort to secure
action on the resolutions of Mr.. Harris
of Kansas designed to prevent the dis
poSa1 of the government lien on the
Union Pacific railway under the terms
of an alleged agreement. There were
many roll calls on Mr.. Harris motion
to consider the resolution, quorums APP
pearing and disappearing and from II
to o'clock no final vote on the motion
was secured. 1t finally went over until
today
Pending one of the roll calls resolu-
ton was passed allowing the sculptor of
the Sherman statue to erect a studio
near the site of the statue. This af-
forded a chance for structures by Mr..
Morgan on the deadlock which had Oc-
CURED. The senate had a patriotic du-
ty to perform. The pending Pacific rail
way resolution had been unanimously
reported from the railway committee
and yet the chairman of the committee
had conducted the filibuster 1t was

ANDERSON HOSE COUPLER.
Commercial Club Considering the In
vention of an Ottawa Man

Mr. R. S. Brigham made report to the
Commercial club last night in regard to
the Anderson Hose Coupler company, at
present in Kansas City. Mr.. Brigham
said that the company was DESTROYS of
locating in Topeka and that proposition
from Millice & Holcomb, proprietors of
the Topeka foundry, for the manufacture
of the couplers was under consideration.
while nothing definite has yet been
DONE said Mr.. Brigham, the prospect
of the company locating in Topeka is
very favorable"
The club membership was increased by
the following members being admitted
last night:
Messrs w. F. Roehr, E. It. Sim, w. H.
Rossington, VIII c. Chaffee and H L.
Robinson
The initiation fee of the Commercial
club will probably be reduced from s12 to
IS and the membership dues from 81 per
month to 81 per month.

HON. FRANK NJ. NYE
After the Strain of the Great Hay

NERVOUS PROSTRATlON
His Nerves, Strength and Sleep Re-
stored by DIR. CharcoSs Kola
Nervine Tablets.
MINNEAPOLIS. Jan. IA. 1s9

Minneapolis, Jan. IA, 1896.
Gentlemen.-The weary months or
the Hayward trial involved severe
strain upon my nervous system, and
after it was over was threatened with
protracted illness. I needed absolute
rest and something to quiet my nerV-
Gus system. Fortunately friend rec
commended DR.. Charcot's Kola Nervine
Tablets as a sure specific and 1 gave
them a trial The effects were beyond
my expectations, as 1 found almost i'm
mediate relief. My nervousness gave
way to restful and soothing feelings,
and I could sleep and eat far better.
For nervous prostration 1 regard Kola
Nervine Tablets as invaluable.
FRANK NJ. NYE
Hon. Frank M. Nye is too well known
to need further mention He is one of
the distinguished lawyers of the coun-
try, a brother of the late Bill Nye. His
experience with DR.. CharcotS Kola
Nervine Tablets is that of thousands.
The remedy is famous for its cures
where other medicines had failed. A
trial will convince you of its wonderful
merit.

FATE PURSUED HER.
A Victim of the Fishkill Disaster Had
Been Rescued at Jamestown
by Her Husband.

Poughkeepsie, July 15.-Mrs. Conroy,
one of the victims of the F'ishkin disas-
ter yesterday, before her marriage liv-
ed at Johnstown, Pa, where the great
flood occurred several years ago. She
was rescued there by John Conroy, who
afterwards married her.
The three buildings in which the la
borers had quarters were toally wreck
ed There is hardly a piece of wood
two feet long anywhere. In the ravine
there are great rocks, some of them
weighing five to ten tons each, rolled
down the mountains by the torrent.
One rock weighing ten tons at least,
lies on the site of Murphy's boarding
house.
About a thousand yards above
Murphy's boarding house, directly in
the center of the ravine, was a small
settlement of Arabs, 80 or 40 in num-
Der, occupying half dozen huts. There
is not a vestige of the settlement left,
but as far as known no Arabs lost their
lives.
The wave was about Is feet high. This
is shown by traces along its passage.
When it reached a point about 700 feet
above the buildings it had spread out
until it was about 200 feet wide and ten
feet deep, moving with resistless force.
1t tore out by the roots trees that were
from L to feet in diameter.

SEALS UP GRANTS TOMB.
The Suns Rays Caused the Bronze
Doors to EXnand

New York, July 15.-When morning
came and it was time to open the Grant
tomb, George Burnside, the custodian,
could not swing the great bronze doors.
The heat had expanded them. A dozen
stalwart laborers failed. Architect Dun
can suggested jackscrews.
This scheme was successful but only
after four hours hard work. The doors
were badly scratched in the process.
Each door weighs 2,760 pounds and is
16 feet high, 4 feet wide and inches
thick.
No allowance was made for the ex-
panSion of the metal under such heat
as New York is now suffering.

Equalization DELAYED,

This is the day set for the meeting
of the state board of equalization but
the board is unable to take up the

that 80 counties have as vet failed to
complete their returns. Eighteen of
these counties are delinquent with the
returns of real estate and thirteen with
the personal property returns. Shaw
nee county is not among this number
The board will attempt to have the re-
turns made at once, SO that the work
can be commenced.
