MANY ITEMS COVERED
Senate Reaches the Metal Schedule O.
the Tariff Bill.

Washington, June 3.-The senate
made good progress on the tariff bill
today, advancing to the important metal
schedule. During the day the para
graphs covering marble and stone,
china, glass, brick and tiles were COM
pleted, with few minor exceptions.
Messrs. Vest and Jones of Arkansas in
behalf of the minority of the finance
committee, proposed numerous amend
ments, which were defeated by majori-
ties of to IA. The votes were on
party lines in the main, although
Messrs. Rawlins and White, Democrats,
voted with the Republicans to increase
the rate on onyx, and McEnery voted
with the Republicans against jones'
proposition for reduction of the rates
on china.
As sequel to the recent sensational
speech of Tillman, Smith rose to a ques-
tion of personal privilege while the
tariff debate was proceeding, and made
a brief but pointed denial of any specu-
lation in sugar stock, either recently or
at any time when sugar was the subject
Of legislation. Tillman was among
those who heard the denial, but he
made no comment on it.
McLaurin was sworn early in the
day, raising the membership Of the sen.
ate to 80.
Washington, June 3.-There was
lively session of the house today, at
which the policy of Speaker Reed and
the Republican majority was again
made the subject of attack by members
of the minority. Richardson and Simp-
son led the onslaught of the minority.
The majority position was ably defend
ed by Henderson and Grosvenor. The
appeal of Lewis, taken last Thursday,
from the decision of the chair, that
resolution relating to foreign affairs
did not constitute question of privi-
lege, was laid on the table, and, after
the skirmish over the methods of pro-
cedure, three special orders were sue
cessfully adopted, by two of which the
senate bills making special appropri-
alton for the government printing office,

navy authority to contract with any
two vessels to carry supplies to India,
were passed. The other provided for
the consideration of the Frye bill, to
prevent collisions upon harbors, rivers
and inland waters of the United States
connected with the ocean, but Payne,
in charge of the latter bill, was forced
to abandon it for the day to avoid the
point of no quorum.
The conference report on the sundry
oivil bill was adopted. The compro-
mise relative to the revocation of Pres
ident Cleveland's forest reservation
order excited some comment. Loud
objected to one feature of the compro-
mise, but the opposition was not carried
to the point of division.

A Killing Frost in Wisconsin, Mime
sofa, Illinois and Iowa.
Chicago, June 3.-Heavy frosts oc-
Cured the past two mornings over the
Northwest. Snow and freezing weather
are reported from Northern Wisconsin
and Minnesota, with much damage to
vegetables and small fruit.
The Wisconsin strawberry crop may
be a total loss. Tobacco in Southern
Wisconsin is reported slightly injured
and in Northern Illinois badly damaged.
Corn in Northern and Central Illi-
nois is reported to be cut down by the
frost Ice formed at many points In
this section. Potatoes were killed at
some points and must be replanted.
Iowa reports indicate considerable
damage to corn, potatoes and fruits.
Southern Michigan and Northern In
dian also report much injury by frost.
Dispatches from St. Paul say reports
from 100 points in Western Minnesota
indicate that last nights frost was the
most severe in many years. Ice formed
in several localities. The weather was
cloudy in Northern Minnesota and
Northern Dakota and the result was
not disastrous. In Southwestern Min
pesota all the strawberry crop just
coming to the berry is a complete loss.
The reports agree in saying that corn
is also probably completely ruined.
Flax and harley are damaged, how seri-
ously may not be known for week.
Wheat being much harder plant, the
frost has been good thing for it, as it
had good chance to root firmly and
snread.

eyes grow dim and black eticircled - radi-
ance fades from the skin-a leathery look
supplants the soft peachy appearance--age
comes before life has fairly begun. These
are but outward signs of the death that
Turks within. These are only danger sig
nails. Careless or too busy doctors make
hundred diagnoses and prescribe for nerv-
business, for insomnia, for indigestion-for
hundred different diseases. They are wrong
mistaken nine times in ten.
When a woman fades-grows old, weak,
sick-the trouble is almost always with the
organs that make her woman-the most
important, the most delicate, the most SEN
sitive, the most vital organs in her whole
body. They are SO closely knit with the
fibres of her life that disorder here means
disorder everywhere and anywhere. Such
disorders call for the expert skill of the
specialist. Such a specialist is DR.. r. V.
Pierce, who for over thirty years has been
chief consulting physician and surgeon of
the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute,
of Buffalo, N. Y Afflicted women should
write to him and should in any case begin
at once to take DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription, the most successful remedy for
all forms of female weaknesses and dis
ease. Tens of thousands of women have
been cured by this marvellous medicine
without ever consulting a physician.
Dr. Pierce's 1908 page book, Common Sense
Medical Adviser " is full ofuseful knowledge from
titlepage to fms. 1t may be had in paper covers
for the bare cost of mailing. Send al one-cent
stamps to Worlds Dispensary Medical Associa-
ton, Buffalo, NJ Y. For cents extra (3I cents in

travelling is Extra. Hazardous

Ii the tourist is unprovided with some
medicinal resources, Changes of tenn
peratnre, food and water of an unacous-
TONED or unwholesome quality. and a
route that lies in the tropics or other re-
glons where malaria exists, are each and
all franght with danger to one who has
been improvident enough to neglect a
remedial safeguard. The concurrent tes-
timony OF many voyagers by land and
sea establishes the fact that Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters enable those who use it
to encounter hazards of the nature refer
red to with impunity; and that, as a
medicine adapted to sudden and expected
exigencles, 1t is peculiarly valuable. Dis
orders OF the liver, the bowels and the
stomach, fever and ague, rheumatism and
nervous ailments, brought on by expos
ure, are among the maladies to which
emlgranta, travellers and new settlers are
most subject. These and others yield to
the action of the Bitters promptly and
completely.

ANYHOW!' IL Ll:1
and presently. when the song was fin
ished, he saw his master approach the
| cage and reward the bird with a lump
Of sugar.
"Ah," said the donkey, full Of jeal-
ousy, II see now why my master thinks
so little of me. 1t is because I do not
wear pretty yellow coat and sing to
him, like the canary.
So saying, he ran straiglrtway to his
masters barn, knocked over bucket of
yellow paint and rolled in it until his
hide was colored beautiful brindle;
then, Fastening back to the window, he
stuck his head inside and began to bray
In his sweetest tone.
Then his master rose from his chair;
but, instead Of calling the donkey pet
names and inviting him to dine on the
contents Of the sugar bowl, he brought
a club and smote him, saying:
"Oonfound donkey, anyhow That
bray was enough to raise the roof, and
just look at the paint the ass has wasted
on himself. Wonder what the critter
will be up to next?'
And the very next day the man sold
the donkey to an itinerant merchant
who CHANGED to be passing.
Moral.-If nature gave you the voice
of an ass, there's no use trying to set
yourself up in business as a. canary bird.

We Send Missionaries to China.


Thousands Of dollars each year we subscribe
To send missionaries to China
That the pagan religions pure stream may
imbibe,
SO we send missionaries to China.
: But beggars ask aims at the millionaires door,
And our Dives can't shut out the cry of the
poor,
The low cry that some day will rise to roar,
And we send missionaries to China.
Women do work that by men should be done,
And we send missionaries to China,
And babes often die ere their life is begun,
And we send missionaries to China
Motherhood once was to women a crown,
But now civilization on that puts it's frown
Till toll is our sweethearts' best path to re-
nown,
And we send missionaries to China.
Dear little children are working each day.
And we send missionaries to China
From cradle to grave knowing nothing OF
play,
And we send missionaries to China.
Though back in the past the Saviour once said
That the kingdom of God of such shall be made,
The dark curse of toll falls on each little head,
And we send missionaries to China.
Each day some suicide goes to his death,
And smile of content gilds his last gush OF
breath,
And we send missionaries to China,
For our life is too hard for the soul that beats
high,
And the cage breaks the wings that need lib
erty's sky,
And for one who dares laugh are a million
who sigh,
And we send missionaries to China.
There's a satisfied few who like things as they
are
They help send missionaries to China.
But we know that their prayers do not mount
very far,
Though they send missionaries to China,
For they always proclaim that divine is the
plan
That will give them chance to grab all thai
they can,
And that poverty's really Of value to man,
And they send missionaries to China.

Reflections of q Bachelor.

A woman hates to have a. tooth filled
most as much as she does to cut piece
of lace.
The best thing in the world to keep
man out Of business schemes Is wife
and babies.
AS SOON asa bachelor begins to reflect
out loud all the married people he
knows get down OH him.
The average woman would wear
dress made Of ora lge peel if the dress
maker said it was the fashion.
When a man So US he hasn't made up
his mind about a thing, it is q sign he
has asked his wife about it.
When maia is away on a trip and
does something he ought not to, he sits
down and writes nice letter to his
wife.-New YorA Press.

Mamma, why doesn' t the baby walk?'
"Baby will walk DEAR but not yet.
Those tiny feet must first forget
How cool and smooth and soft to the touch
We're the streets of heaven they miss so much.
By and by baby will walk"
Mamma, why doesn't he understand"
"Hell understand, DEAR but not yet.
He must stay with us and forget
How he heard in heaven the sweetest song
From the cherubim choiring the whole day

Baby will soon understand"
"But mamma, why doesn' he ever speak2"
"Baby will speak, dear but not yet.

The speech the babies in heaven use.

And by and by, truly, he'll speak"
