Almost a senate peadloeI..

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-The senate was
on the verge of deadlock, and for "A time
there were prospects of protracted test OF
endurance. Mr.. Morgan, in charge of the
Nicaragua canal bill, was determined tc
secure a time for final vote. This was
resisted, however, by Mr. Turpie and Mr..
Villas ThereupOn Mr.. Morgan announced
that he would ask the senate to "sit OUT
the bill, remaining in continuous session
until vote was forced. This evoked sharp
criticism. Mr. Villas finally made dila
tory motion, which on a roll call disclosed
the absence of a quorum, and Mr.. Morgan
was Obliged to give up his plan, although
he expects TO execute It If an agreement
for a vote is not reached. Mr.. Turpie con.
cluded his speech against the Nicagarua
canal bill, the third day being a continu-
ance of the former bitter invective directed
against the measure. During the day Mr..
Chandler presented the credentials of John
Edward Addicks, claiming the vacant seat
as senator from Delaware. The claim OF
Henry A. Dupont for the same seat has
already been presented. In the course of
discussion of laying electric conduits in
the Washington streets MIR. Hin (Dem. of
New York spoke against trusts and mo
nopOlists in general as serious menace
to the public welfare.
Tucker Keeps the Seat.
After a two days debate, in the course
Of which considerable partisan passion was
aroused and an attempt made to fill

the house decided the contested election

Virginia district by denying the seat to

divided, 54 of them joining with the DEM
ocrats and supporting the claims of the
Democratic contestee.
When the supporters of Mr.. Yost's con-
tentiOns found they were defeated by a
narrow margin of votes-the vote being
119 to l27 against him-they inaugurated
a filibuster in the hope of gaining time,
and for two hours there was succession
of roll calls, but they were finally over
powered by numbers, and the resolutions
confirming Mr.. fuckers title to his seat
were adopted
Mr. Yost is a member elect of the next
house, and Mr. Tucker, who is a son of
Randolph Tucker, has been member of
the last four congresses. He declined a re-
nomination because he did not agree with
his party on the money question. In the
debate Messrs. Thomas (Rep.) of Mich
igan, Taylor (Rep.) of Ohio, Lacey (Rep. }
of Iowa, Bruman (Rep.) of Pennsylvania,
Thorp (Rep.) of Virginia and Walker
(Rep.) of Virginia spoke for Mr.. Yost, and
Messrs De Almond (Dem) of Missouri,
Walker (Rep.) of Massachusetts,, Tucke1
fDom. } of Virginia and Mccall (Rep.) o
Massachusetts, supported the claims OF th'
contestee.

SUBSCRIPTION PRICE:
WITHOUT EXCEPTION.

IN the matter of the distribution of premiums for exhibits at the Jef- ferson County Fair it is but natural that there should be some disap- pointments. Of course, all exhibi- tors could not receive first premi- ums, and all the exhibits were of such m excellent order that the judges had most difficult and deli- cate task to perform. But under all circumstances the judges of the vari- ous departments awarded the prizes according to their best understand ing of the conditions of the exhibits and the rules for making the awards. But it is natural that with so many fine exhibits to select from and only one first.class prize to be given, that there should be some disap- peintment, which, we hope, will be taken with good feeling. The Fair aud exhibits were a grand success, and every exhibitor is entitled to praise and credit for the part he took in contributing to Pine Bluffs great entertainment.

What effect such writing on such subjects will have in encouraging the develop ment of tha splendid agricultural, horticultural and timber resources of the Pine Bluff section of the State we are not prepared to say, but we would suggest that our young jour- salistic brother devote his talent and newspaper space to the buid- iEgup of home interests.

THE AMERICAN SYSTEM OF WATCH
DTrr

It may be of interest to our readers to
know that Samuel Curtis, of Roxbury,
Mass, was the first ca capitalist to advance
the first $20,O to inaugurate the Ameri-
can system of watch making. The first
movements were made at Roxbury in
1868 "a. The factory was moved years
ago to its present location, Waltham,
Mass. In the year 1856 Mr.. Geo. p. Ven
able, watch maker and jeweler of our
city, cold one of the Samuel Curtis move
ments, No. 51S. A few months ago he
traded for this movement, and as it was
one of the first made, he sent it to the
Waltham factory with his compliments,
and had it placed in their collection of
old watches. Mr.. Venahle, who is one of
the oldest watch makerstin this part of
the state (but by 40 means the oldest
mani, was very agreeably surprised the
other day by receiving a package con-
tanning one of the American Waltham
finest watches, latest model, 16 size, sew
enteen jewels, adjusted, No.. zoos, 744,
with the following letter:
WALTHAM MASS, May 6, 1897.
Mr.. Geo. p. Venable, Lexington, Mo.
DEAR Strive take pleasure in for
warding to you this watch, in considera-
tion of your courtesy in sending US the
Samuel Curtis movement, which we have
deposited in our museum. We trust
this movement will be found satisfactory
and will serve your personal use as long
as you shall require a watch.

influence has ever been toward the inn
provement of the community. He was for
thirty-seven years a conscientious and
God-fearing member of the Presbyterian
church at Higginsville, and during nearly
all of that time was an elder. His life has
been one of great usefulness, and has been
an example of Christian piety that has
led others to loo toward higher and
nobler aims and to lead better and more
righteous lives.
He leaves a wife and ten children to
mourn the loss of a kind land indulgent
father and a loving and faithful husband,
and to look forward to the time when they
will be united in the better land.
To the bereaved family we extend our
most sincere sympathy in their hour of
OF darkness. The husband and father has
only gone on before and when the angel
OF death shall call upon them to give up
this earthly existence, they shall find him
standing with open arms to welcome them
to the home beyond.

nearly all of his life, and at times he was
