MEopENrNG OF CONGRESS.
The Civil Service Question in the House
Lodges Immig grafton Bill.

AAouHo AMAhikrAUioA DaAAs
Washington, Jan. 2.--The time Of the
house this week after the reopening on
Wednesday probably will be entirely de-
voted to the debate on the civil service
question. BY general consent. the ap
preparation in the legislative, executive
and judicial bill for the maintenance Of
the committee upon which the debate
will be based went over until after the
holidays. 1t is intended by the oppo-
nents of the civil service law that the
debate shall cover the whole question
and they expect to develop some very
interesting facts.
The defenders Of the law have tmade
elaborate preparations to meet these as
saults and some highly interesting Incl
dents are anticipated. The records Of
individuals are likely to be very much
IN evidence. 1t is not expected that the
debate will be concluded this week, as
Saturday has been set aside for paying
tribute to the memory of the late Repre-
sentative Wright Of Massachusetts.
General Grosvenor. who has been one
of the mainstays Of the opposition to
the law, is very desirous Of participa-
tion in the debate, but owing to the
fight now on In Ohio he will not be able
to return until next week. 1t Is not be-
lieved there will be any attempt to
close the debate until he has had an OPP
portunity to deliver the speech he has
prepared.
The prevailing opinion among sena-
tors is that very little legislation will
be attempted during the present week
in the senate. The fact that congress
will not reconvene until Wednesday will
be taken by the absentees. to mean that
nothing will be attempted until the fol-
| lowing week, and it is doubtful if there
will be a quorum present in the senate
on Wednesday, in which event there
will probably be an early adjournment
| until the following day and then an ad-
| journment until Monday. In any event
| it is not probable that any important
| questions will be raised the present
| week.
| Among the questions which will en-
gage early attention are: The, Hawa-
| ian annexation question; the claim Of
| Mr.. Corbett to a seat in the senate; the
| immigration bill and the financial ques-
ton. In all probability the committee
on privileges and elections will meet
during the present week and the chanc-
es are that an early report on the Cor
| bett case will be ordered, even though
it may not be favorable. Senator Bur-
rows of the committee which has charge
of the case, is preparing an exhaustive
speech antagonistic to Mr.. Corbett, and
the opposition are counting upon the
assistance of still others from the re-
publican side Of the chamber 1t is not
believed there will be any serious an
tagonism to the immigration bill, but
there may be considerable time con-
sumed in speeches upon tho subject.

At Close of Her Lecture on "a White Life
for Two"

for IWO, 55T
GAINESVILLE, Wis, Jan. 2.-Frances E.
Willard, president Of the National w.
C. T. u, tainted tonight at the close
of her lecture on "A White Life for
Two" which she delivered in the Con-
gregational church. A physician was
summoned, but 1t was some time before
she recovered sufficiently to be removed
to the home of her cousin, William Rob-
inson. The church was packed to the
doors. The church was exceedingly
close and it was noticeable that Miss
Willard was making painful effort to
speak. She suddenly brought her talk
to an abrupt close and left the plat
form, fainting as she reached the ante
room. Her secretary, Miss Gordon, said
that Miss Willard had been i'll for sew
eral days but had kept UP for this ad-
dress to the people of GAINESVILLE among
whom her girlhood was spent.

TWO CENTS


RIpGEDALE, Sept. I0.--Farmers are
engaged at the present time with the
threshing machine and the wet weather
makes it very inconvenient.
r, G. Boyd, Vester Barker, George
and Eddie Price took in the excursion
to Cheat Haven Sunday. They all re-
port good time.
Mr.. Hyman, father in law of w. b.
Holt, who for some time has been here
has returned to his home in Richie
county.
Goldie McKee, little daughter of Y. T.
McBee, has been poorly for few days.
Also little Hugh Howell is sick.
Sanford McBee and X. B. Ross spent
Sunday at Halleck.
Miss Blanche Steele, of Palatine, spent
few days near Booths creek and took
in the Association.
The Republican primary is over and
we are not supposed to criticise but we
do think they have got some very poor
men on the ticket, while of course they
have some good ones. And to be the
nominee in Clinton is about as good as
elected. But surely some good man,
democrat, could be elected to some OF
the offices which some of the Republic
cans now hold
- H. dulkHtF WAS recently over
Cheat on business Also L. w. Steele.
II. b. Ross, Sanford McBee and K. G.
Boyd attended the music party given by
Miss Goldie Snowden on Friday night.
There were 60 people present and ev-
erybody enjoyed themselves.

George Boyd's baby boy The readers

Rev. 0chiltree has been returned by
the annual conference to the Glades-
vile circuit and as we have already
said through these columns we welcome
him to our circuit and our homes and

cannot be beaten in the county. They
raised lambs which brought $24.07 be-
sides the wool which come to 81. so ma
king $26.57 for three old ewes and we
defy the county to beat it. This is no
Leve Dorton tale but absolutely the
truth and any one not believing It can
write for information.
Mrs j. A. Faulkner is very poorly at
this writing and but little hopes are en-
tertained for her recovery.
Mr.. b. L. Mercer is no longer able to

PAID FOR

MorgantOWn has at last paid her share
of the Deckers Creek bridge and the
incident is now closed.
The council has held a short bust
ness meeting and paid its share of the
Deckers creek bridge. There was
some hitch in the settlement OF the
towns part of the bridge and they had
offered bonds to the Canton Bridge
company to whom they had been in
debted for the structure. The COM
pany at first refused to consider the
proposition and were told that they
would have to wait until the money
came in or take the bonds. After
looking over the ground their conclu-
ded that they would take them.

pany came here and met the council.
He took four bonds of the face value
of five hundred dollars and two hum
dred in cash that being the cost Of the

ROBBED AGAIN.

Express Office at Fairm0nt is Gone
Through BY Thieves and the
Size of the Haul is now being Foot
ed up.
The express Office at Fairmont is
the1latest thing that has been touch
ed by thieves. The gentry forced an
entrance in there late last night and
went through the safe. They got one
and a half out of the safe and then
turned their attention to the express
packages. These were ripped open
in every direction and the contents
when tempting were taken.
The extent of the loss from this
source cannot be estimated but is be-
ing checked up now. 1t will amount
to a great deal from first to last.
This is the second time this summer
that the Office has been robbed and
the steal each time has been done
without the slightest clue to the per-
petrators having been found.
