chamber had a deserted appearance
when the session opened today, many
Of the senators having gone to New
York to attend the Grant ceremonies.
Harris of Tennessee was at his desk
for the first time in many weeks, and
was congratulated on his recovery from
q serious illness.
In the absence of the vice. president
and President Protein. Frye, Nelson
occupied the chair. DR.. Milburn's
opening prayer was an eloquent refer
ence to the gathering of thousands to
pay tribute to the great chieftain,
Grant, and he prayed that the glow of
patriotism freshly kindled may
strengthen our government and the
union of states.
When the Indian bill was reported
from the house, an effort was made to
send it to conference, but German OBJ
jected, saying it had been understood
that no business was to be transacted.
Thereupon, at 1925 P. M, on motion
of Morrill,, the senate adjourned.

Gladness Comes

SA&A\S4 WV ~ = ~
With . better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that 30 many forms OF
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
~ removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. It's beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
Ill important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment Of good health,
and the System is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended TO the most slkillful
physicians, but if in need Of laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informcd everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and Is most largely
oed and gives most general satisfaction.

NOT A SHOW PITCHER.
Wore Oyeralls and Was Not Pretty,
But He Could Twill n Ball.


''My experience as baseball man.
ager was down in the oil regions wher
money was plenty and sporting blood
was at fever heat. The most formid-
able team with which 1 had to contend
was in neighboring town, and whole
fortunes changed hands before the
championship was determined. The
crowds were so strongly partisan that
few dozen stalwart policemen were al
ways necessity. We had to pay UNI
pires princely salaries, and 1 never
knew one of them to preside at more
than a single game.
$50 close had been the seasons play
that we were tied with the decisive con-
tests to be had in our town. For some
reason that have never been able to
fathom, three of my best players had
disappeared, and among them our
crack pitcher. 1 had enough men, but
they were not the right men. I guess
there must have been wholesale bood-
ling on both sides, for when the
opposing team came to count noses
they could find but eight. The flower
of the flock was missing and our fell
lows felt jubilant. The enemy made a
big effort to defer the game, but the
umpire, one of our selection, stood pat
on the proposition that they must
either play or forfeit. just to sim
ulate fairness, we allowed them TO
choose any player they could find in the
enormous crownd, and they decided
that they would at least die fighting.
Their selection was a six-footer
slim as a lightning-rod, loose in every
joint, red-headed, freckled, and wear
ing uniform that consisted of overalls
and a check shirt. And he went into
the box while the thousands shed tears
because of laughter. The first ball de
scribed the outlines of rams horn
and then shot over the plate with siz
Gle. He had more wrinkles than rhi
noceros. He could start ball toward
first base, toward third base, in any di
rection except behind him, and the mex

Instead of having recourse to appli-

He applies the oil freely to the confused

compress saturated with olive oil. The

SOME Late MODES.
Fresh Ideas I'm Things for the Ladies
TO Wear,

| TO Wear.
In direct contrast TO the red jacket
but wonderfully sweet, is the new black
cloth jacket, trimmed with white lace
applique. The red jacket is not as suit
able for dress uniform as the one of
black and white.
Matronly women are wearing black
grosgrain silk for separate skirts, the
bodice being of fine, white fabrics suit
able for warm weather. For state &C.
casions entire gowns of the beautiful
soft material, with lace trimmings, arc
much worn.
Green leather shoes have reached us
via Paris. A black or plaid silk stock
ing must be worn with the low, green
leather shoe. Fancy Oxford ties, with a
patent leather vamp and finish. are
made of MORE velour in various tints of
blue, dull red and brown.
Street gowns of tiny dark blue and
white and black and white checks are
just as popular as the fashion forecas-
tiers promised US they would be. Louis
ene," kind of poplinette, is among the
new and popular materials that come
in small checks. 1t is an admirable
material for a dressy street gown. Mar
row ribbon velvet is the most approved
trimming for it.
Sashes of wide ribbon carried twice
around the waist and tied in front a
little to one side are very fashionable.
Soft silk scarfs, particularly the old
fashioned ones of the Roman stripe
with fringed ends, are seen knotted
about the waist of many an up-to-date
belle. With white frocks these bright
scarfs look particularly well. The silk
scarf is tied in knot and hangs down
to the bottom of the skirt.
Little string ties to match the shirt
waist are very chic. The order for
shirt waist genrally accompanied this
season-so maker tells me-with an
order for "two ties to match" White
linen collars are invariably worn when
the string tie ''to match" is assumed.
At least one jacket of bright red goes
into the summer girls wardrobe. This
she will wear with her pique or other
white gowns when out of town, and the
evening air is chilly. The red jacket
has no trimming, and is cut after the
simple short blazer model. Americans
once scorned red coats. But this was
in the days when we were not as friend
ly with the British as we are now. Grim
son is'the royal household color. The
queens jubilee is responsible for the
little red jacket.-Chicago Tribune.

JIM STEVENS ON TRIAL.

Charged with the Murder of Charles
Collins.
Jim Stevens is on trial today for the
murder of Charles Collins seven
years ago, for which Joe wilkins was
convicted last Friday. A motion of
defendant for continuance was over
ruled this morning after which the
selection of jury was begun. A ven
ire Of $50 men was exhausted in Sc
lecting seven jurors. They are:
Robert f. Todd, Henry Schroeder,Al
bert Umseheid, B. +. Yates, James Il
Norcross, Ferdinand Thesis and Her
man W. Waltersdorf. Many of the
jurors summoned did not rspend and
Judge Green ordered that a fine of so
be entered against each of the default
ing jurors and attachments issued
which was done. Another venire of
one hundred men was ordered issued,
from which to complete the jury, and
the court adjourned until 3 o'clock
this afternoon.
Stevens was in the court room this
morning and his mother, an aged col
ored woman, occupied a seat behind
him. He seemed worried. his brow
was furrowed, which he occasionally
wiped with white handkerchief.
The courtroom was full of colored
people.
Stevens was city policeman and
Collins was killed while Stevens, Joe
wilkins and Domingo Diaz, also police
men, were trying to arrest him on Pas
chal square. Wilkins has been con-
victed to five years.
