MIR. TILLMAN'S EULOGY
On the Late Senator Earle Was Re-
markable Deliwerance.

Washington. March 3O.-Mr. Tillman
Is. c., in accordance with previous
notice presented resolutions in the SEN
ate Yesterday concerning the death or
the late Joseph A. Earle, a senator
from South Carolina. Eulogles upon
Senator Earle were delivered by MI M.
McLauren. Mr.. Chandler, Mr.. Clay, MI
Spooner. Mr.. Chiffon, Mr. Cannon, Mr.
McEnery and Mr.. Tillman-
One of the most remarkable euIogleS
,,,,obablv ever delivered in the senate
was that pronounced by Mr.. Tillman-
He and Senator Earle had been long
noIiticaI antagonists and in the COM
been friends or political allies. In pay
ing a brilliant tribute to the late sena-
tor Mr.. Tillman said he felt that II he
failed to pay it the history OF the 1aIne
and virtues of General Earle Woulo
Lack the important testimony which he
alone could give. l.
Mr.. Tillman then reviewed what ne
said was one of the most remarkabl
nOIiticaI campaigns ever waged-that
for the gubernatOrial nomination IN the
Palmetto state in 1890, in which he and
General Earle were rival candidates.
In the campaign the reform movement
headed by Mr.. TiIlman was successful,
General Earle carrying only four OF the
thirtv-fiVe counties of the state. Dur
ing that campaign General Earle won
the admiration of all by the intrepidity
and distinguished ability with which he
conducted himself and paved the way
to his subsequent election to the SEN
| ate. In conclusion. Mr. Tillman said
that while his might be not the highest
| tribute that could be paid to Genera
! Earle none could be more sincere anc
| heartfelt.

| ate then adjourned

K.U.,S FRIENDS CONE UP.
$1,000 Raised in Lawrence to Repair
the Power House.

Temporary repairs are being made on
the power house at the state universe
ty, and the school Will reopen on next
Tuesday. While in the city Tuesday,
Chancellor Snow stated that $1,000 had
been raised among the friends of the
university in Lawrence, which was a
sum sufficient to put the heating and
lighting plant in shape to supply the
university buildings.
He also stated that he had written
each of the state senators, asking if
they were willing for the officers of the
university to raise money sufficient to
replace all the machinery destroyed by
the recent fire. He believes that the
required $780, 900 can be raised among
friends of the university, and the ma
chinery for the mechanical and engi-
neering work of the university be re-
placed by fall, and this will be done If
the members of the senate approve the
plan and are willing to support a bill
providing for the payment by the state
of the amount expended.
Until the machinery is replaced, all
engineering and mechanical classes
must be dispensed with.

.Consnrnntion Cured.

BROUGHT BACK FROM THE GRAvlt.
Last November Mr.. Joseph James,
painter, of 325 w. Pearl St, IndianaPo-
lis, Ind, was at deaths door with quick
consumption. Wasted to a skeleton
his lungs a mass of liberation; his
death was hourly awaited by his doctor
and family. He was kept in a constant
stupor with opium. A friend, thinking
to relieve his terrible cough, gave him a
bottle of Brazilian Balm. Seeing its
wonderful effect, the doctor advised its
continued use. Mr.. James soon after
dismissed his doctor, and depended
on the Balm alone. His recovery was
raDid and complete, and in February he
returned to work. His lungs are sound,
and his weight greater than at any time
in his life. His recovery is regarded as
almost miracle.

Atchison Globe: Vim. Reese, the
noted apple grower, is planting a new
orchard of a hundred acres near Mud

failure This is an average of $50 per
acre whereas Mr.. Reese says that If a

of SO an acre, he is doing we'll. One
