The United States senate had to be in session all day Sunday because Senator Morgan and others like him consumed so much time seeking to prevent ratiica ton of the arbitration treaty, in trying to pro- yoke war with Spain and in general abuse of the president that the considering of appropriation bills for carrying on the government had to be laid aside-Mont- gomery Advertiser.

The imports of iron and steel from Great Britain have declined to almost nothing. More tin-plate is shipped to this country from Great Britain than any thing else, but this will be stopped when the Mckinley bill is put in cperat ton. McKinely made a test case of his pro- tective theory on tin-plate. He put a prohibitory tariff on tin-plate. The result was that a number of tin-plate works sprang up in the iron centers

In the interview regarding his trip to Washington, MT. John w. Tomlinson says the republican party proposes to pur- sue the policy of further currency con traction. If this policy is pursued. we will have another panic. Every panic in this country can be traced to currency contraction. The panics of 1S09 1874, 1sl9 and 1925 were due to this cause. The panics of 1887 and 1S41 were duo to the operations and final failure of the United States bank and consequent currency contraction. The panic of 1857 was due to the violent contraction of the curren- cy. To this cause is due the failure of 95 per cent. of business men.

RA1LRoAD BOOM EXPECTED.

In view of the fact that steel rails are now selling at SIS ton there is ev- cry reason to believe that there will be a boom during the present year in railway construction work. Quite a number of lines of railway have been projected In different parts of the country and es- pecially in the south, but owing to gen. eral business depression and the high price charged by the trust for rails. the enterprises were allowed to rest until the conditions improved. The large or ders new being placed for steel rails. however, afford ground for some hope that considerable railroad building will be done during the present year, and employment furnished to many thous- ands of men, We hope to See at least one new railroad-the Mobile and Girard reach Brewton within the next few nlonths.--Pinebelt News.

CATCHING RATTLEsNAKEs.
Portland Man Sells Skins and oil at
 Good Prices.


 Good Prices.
 Middletown November 9--Dell Reeves of Portland, who has acquired more than local reputation as rattlesnake hunter, gives the Hartford Times rep resentative some interesting facts con- cerning the sport. "These snakes" MT. Reeves said, "have now all gone into winter quarters, where they will remain until spring entirely dormant. During that time their eyes are covered with a sort of film, which obscures their vision. They eat nothing while in this state, but they never go in until they have filled themselves to their utmost capacity. In my opinion, these reptiles have largely increased around Somerset Mountain during the past five years, notwithstanding that many of them have been killed"
 For several years, MT Reeves was the only person who hunted these dan gerous reptiles. Last season, others de- voted some attention to the pursuit of the snake, but finally gave it up. It is by no means an unprofitable pastime, especially in the fall of the year when the snakes are fat. They yield an aver age of $2 worth of oil each which finds a ready sale among druggists. The skins are dried and preserved. MT. Reeves recently sold about one hundred of them to Meriden parties. They have been sent to Philadelphia, where they will be stuffed for distribution among museums at good prices. During the season of snake-hunting, just past, MT. Reeves has bagged thirty-four rattle snakes, some of which were unusually large. He was assisted by a small dog, which has learned the dangerous character of the game he pursues, and always keeps a safe distance from a | "rattler."

Poli's Wonderland Theater.

The three big star acts that headline the bill at Polls Wonderland. theater this week are exciting much attention for their brilliant attractiveness. Ed. mond Hayes and Miss Emily Lytton have made a very big hit with their highly amusing travesty act, and their auditors find very few moments of free- dom from laughter while they hold the stage. Their act is full of life, action and strong acting, and they show traces of an ability that is rare among vaude- vile entertainers. Diana, the mirror queen, introduces 8 novelty that is very beautiful because of the spectacular splendor of the effects produced. Ward and Curran sing as sweetly and act as funny as on any previous occasion, and no higher praise can be meted out to them. Others on the bill are the Met ropolitan Three, James Richmond Glen roy, MT. and Miss Graham, Miss Annie Lloyd, and MT. O'Rourke and Miss Bur- nette. Popular prices, 10 and 20 cents; ladies in the afternoon, 10 cents.

SIMPLICITY ITSELF.
A SIMPLE HARMLESS REMEDY,
Yet It Cures the Worst Cases of Dys-
 pepsia and Indigestion.


 Dr. Jennison, who has made a life study of stomach troubles, says All forms of indigestion really amount to the same thing; that is, failure to com pletely digest the food eaten; no mat ter whether the trouble is acid dyspep- sia or sour stomach, belching of wind, nervous Dyspepsia or loss of flesh and appetite; a person will not have any of them if the stomach can be induced by any natural, harmless way to thor oughly digest what is eaten, and this can be done by a simple remedy which l have tested in hundreds of agra vated cases with complete success. The remedy is a combination of fruit and vegetable essences, pure aseptic pepsin and golden seal put up in the form of pleasant tasting tablets and sold by druggists under the name of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets. One or two of these tablets shouud be taken after meals and allowed to dissolve in the mouth, and mingling with the food in the stomach digests it completely before it has time to ferment, decay and sour.
 On actual experiment one grain of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest three thousand grains of meat, eggs and similar wholesome foods.
 It is safe to say if this wholesome remedy was better known, by people generally, it would be a national bless ing, as we are a nation of dyspeptics, and nine-tenths of all diseases owe their origin to imperfect digestion and nutrition.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are not a secret patent medicine, but a fifty cent package will do more real good for a weak stomach than fifty dollars worth of patent medicines, and person has the satisfaction of knowing just what he is putting into his stomach, which he does not know when widely adver- tised patent medicines are used.
 All druggists sell Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets; full sized packages 30 cents.

MUST NOT CHEW TOBACCO.
Order Affecting Conductors and Mo-

Order Affecting Conductors and Mo-
 tormen in Hartford.
 There is some dissatisfaction among the conductors and motorman of the Hartford Street Railway Company over an order forbidding them to chew to- bacco while on duty. Some of the motormen are especially aggrieVed as they cannot see why the order should apply to them.
 Motormen have been given instruc- tions not to allow passengers to stand on the front platform and conductors have been ordered to prevent passengers from riding on the rear platform when there is room inside the car.
 Conductors are held responsible for the rule forbidding smoking on closed cars. The company desires this rule to be strictly enforced. Another new order informs conductors that when they make a mistake in punching a transfer ticket they must not repunch it but throw it away and punch a fresh one-Hartford Courant.
