The Aboriginal Indians are said not to have
known the disease. That proves 1t is not caused
by climate and must have been imported.
Its growth was slow but persistent. Forty
years ago there were less than 10000 cases In
the U. S., to-day there are 20 million. Soon
there will be 30 million, Where is It to end
Shall we not awake till it has fastened its fangs
on every man. woman and child in the land?
How shall we prevent it unless we take itnfned-
late and vigorous steps to stamp out the plague'
This putrid disease knows no sex, no class, no
station. It is everywhere. A germ (microbe)
disease it spreads by contagion The carton

loaded with these microbes. Others breath them
in, they find Judgement and never release their

Yes, but not by any "blood medicine" No Ca
tarrh germ was ever found in the blood. The
trouble is local and must be treated locally. A
balsam has been discovered that is sure death
to the Catarrh microbe, making a radical and
permanent cure. 1t is Brazilian Balm. 1t has
cured tens of thousands in the past is years. 1t
also cures all the troubles caused by Catarrh,
as Sore Throat, Old Coughs, Bronchitis, Asthma
and Lung troubles. The swallowing of the
Catarrh pus makes the Stomach and ulcer

WAS DISCHARGED
The Trial Ended Yesterday Af-
 ternoon at 5 O'Clock.
THE DECISION UNANIMOUS
Proceedings of the Trial Were Secret, and Some Sensational Incidents Are AL
 legged to Have Taken Place.

Paris, Jan. 11.-This was the second dav of the courtmartial of Maj. Count Ferdi- hand Esterhazy, and the proceedings were secret. Col. Picquart continued his testi- mony and it is said there was great ex- citement in court when Col. Picquart was confronted in court with Gen. Gonse, sub chief of the staff. It is alleged that sen sational incidents followed Col. Picquart's making revelations of exceptional gravity.
 The taking of the testimony ended at 5 o'clock this afternoon. when the govern ments representative briefly addressed the court Counsel for Maj. Esterhazy fol- lowed. The secret deliberation of the court martial which followed terminated at 6:15 p. m, when the president read the judgment as follows:
 The president puts the following question to the court: 'Is Maj. Esterhazy guilty of having dealing with a foreign power, or it's agents to incite them to commit hostil- ities or undertake war against France, or procure the means of doing so?"
 The president in giving his opinion, said the court declared unanimously upon the aforesaid question that the accused was not guilty.
 The president then ordered Maj. Ester hazy to be liberated.
 Matthieu Dreyfus on emerging was not recognized by the crowd. Col. Picquart, who followed him was accompanied by some friends
 Major Esterhazy appeared alone at 8:2O D. m and proceeded to the prison of Cherche Midi. The crowd greeted him with cries of ''Viye Parmie, i" 'vive le com mandant Esterhazy," and tried to shake hands with him.
 Directly Esterhazy entered the prison, the police cleared the streets.
 The police have arrested and imprisoned Mime. Jouffey D'Abans, and her paramour on the charge of blackmailing an army captain A number of letters supporting the charge have been seized. Mime. Jouf- frey D'Abbans is said to have been for merly known as doubtful character, passing under the name of Chabol. She married and has since been divorced from an elderly nobleman, M. Jouffrey D'Ab- bans. She pretended to be Major Ester hazy's "veiled lady" and was examined during the inquiry.

would not possibly be in his seat tomorrow. After the vote was recorded in each branch of the legislature separately majority of a quorum or of those present is all that is necessary in the joint balloting tomorrow, so that the serious illness of Represents tive Cramer might become an important factor
 The scattering vote today for Lentz, Wiley and Warner was cast by Repre- sentatives Wiley, Hazlett and Hess, all democrats. If Cramer had been present and all other democrats in line, McKisson's vote in the house would have been 53, or still three short of majority in that branch of the legislature With Hanna having majority of three in the house, McKisson having majority of two in the senate, the chair will announce tomorrow that there was no election today and that a joint ballot will be in order. As soon as the two bodies meet in joint convention at noon tomorrow, their respective journals of today will be read, and the lieutenantA governor will make the usual official deca- ration.
 Only One Majority With an 'If."
 If all the senators and representatives are recorded on the joint ballot tomorrow, as they were recorded on their respective ballots today, Senator Hanna will have a majority of only one over all. But in the absence of Representative Cramer and by some of the democrats refusing to vote for Mayor McKisson, he is likely to have a larger majority. With the result ap- parently hanging on the change of only one vote the contest has continued all night the same as 1t has been going on here other nights for the past two weeks.
 The seven republicans who refused to vote for Senator Hanna today have since signed statements that burn the bridges behind them. Senator Burke, Representa- tives Scott, Mason, Jones and Rutan say they will vote for Hanna if the Otis charges are proven to be untrue. Repre- sentative Otis and Bramley, however, sim ply signed codicil to the statement of the other Ave dissenters in which they con

There was talk of flibustering, but the opposition could not break a joint quorum if all members should remain away.
 The other case of alleged bribery comes from the other side. Representative Snyder of Greene county, who has been stopping at the Neil house during the past week, voted for Hanna, for Boxwell for speaker last Monday a week and attended the re- publican house caucus one week ago last Saturday. The opponents of Senator Han na have been after him closely and con- stantly. It is alleged that MT. Maddry came to the Neil house last week to see MT. Snyder and that he claimed to repre- sent Kurtz and Bliss. Representative Shy der had been anticipating the visit and stenographer was concealed in the bath room adjoining his apartments. It is charged that MT. Snyder was offered 5000 for his vote and that the names of his packers were given by the caller.
 stenographic Detective Work.
 The stenographic report of the conversa- tion between Snyder and Maddry is in the hands of the Hon. B. G. Rathbone, who was assistant postmaster-general under Harrison, and is here as one of the man. agers for Hanna. It has been reported for several days that this case was before the grand jury of Franklin. county. but when that body closed its work this evening 1t was unofficially stated trat neither the Maddry case nor any other case connected with the senatorial contest was before that body.
 The opposition Is charging the Hanna men tonfebt with voting down the motions and the resolutions today for an investiga- tion of the bribery charges made by Repre- sentative Otis The Hanna men say they will give the fullest consideration to this investigation at the proper time, but that the purpose of these charges now is to stampede the legislature on the balloting for senator, and that such scheme cannot be carried through. Some of the Hanna men also state that at the proper time they will reorganize the house, as the vote of

CURIOUS BLUNDER MADE By Mississippi Legislature in BaIIoting for Senator HON. H. D. MONEY ELECTED But Question of the Legality of the Pro-
 ceedings Will Cause the Vote
 to Be lgnor-d.
HON. H. D. MONEY ELECTED

Jackson. Miss, Jan. 1.-The Mississippi legislature made a curious and awkward blunder in balloting for a United States senator for the unexpired term made va cant by the death of Senator J. z. George.
 Exactly at noon both houses by separate formal ballot elected Hon. H. D. Money who already holds the appointment or Governor McLaurin as Georges successor. Late this afternoon the question was raised as to the legality of this action and it appears that either this legislature mas strangely blundered or else the elections or Senators George and Walthall in 1892 and that of Senator Money in 1896 were illegal Hinder the constitution of Mississippi the legislature meets on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in January ana un- der section IA of the revised statutes or the United States the baloting for a sena- tor by the legislature must begin on the "second Tuesday after the meeting and organization thereof"
 The question therefore arises in Missls- sippi as to what is the "second Iuesuay after the meeting and organization or the legislature and should the first Tues day or day of organization be counted.
 In 1892 when George and WalthaH were elected the legislature convened on Iues- day January and and on Tuesday, Jan uary 19 both houses balloted separately and on Wednesday, the Eth, jointly elected the senator's. This precedent was also fol- lowed in 1896, when Senator Money was elected for the full term to succeed MT. George The legislature of 1896 met on January and the houses did not take a ballet until January 21. The ballot of to- day will be ignored and another election had on Tuesday next.

days ago with some private memoranda of MT. Benedict's secretary, with juggling and distorting the record. He read a letter from Mr. Benedict's secretary who is now in the classified service, challenging some of Landis' statements and offering to re- sign if the Indiana member could sub stantiate them.
 Simrgon En1ivens the House.
 After some remarks by Messrs Bell (pop) of Colorado and MT. Eddy (rep) of Minne- sota, MT Simpson (pop) of Kansas enliv- ened the closing hour of the debate by a reference to the senatorial contest in Ohio. He said the debate had been prolonged
 while the republicans out in Ohio were making promises to the boys in the trenches in the interest of Senator Hanna.
 It was all a bluff, said MT. Simpson.
 Nothing was to be done, and now that Sen
 ator .Hanna,s election was assured the
 mask was thrown off and a vote was to be
 taken tonight on this bill. Whether the
 house would have an opportunity to con-
 slider bill for the modification or repeal
 of the law would depend on the speaker,
 said Mr. Simpson. "He is the whole thing" :" exclaimed MT. Simpson, and runs the house." Qaughter). s "Have you consulted the speaker?" asked MT. Quigg.
 "No," replied MT. Simpson. "He never consults me and never consult him." MT. Allen (dem) of Mississippi enter | tained the house with one of his short humorous speeches.
 | Mr. Bailey, of Texas. the leader of the l minority closed the debate with some re- l marks defining the attitude of the demo- 1 crats. It was difficult, said he, to believe | in the sincerity of the other side, when in 1 one breath the republicans avowed their l adherence to the law and in the next de- | manded it's practical destruction. If the l law was good, he said it ought to be ex- l tended; if not, it should be repealed The l democrats, he said, were ready to wipe 1t l off the statute books. They did not believe | in life tenure. While the repeal of the law I might turn some of their friends out of | office, they stood by their party platform. | With the conclusion of MT. Bailey's re- 1 marks the time expired and the bill was l reported to the house. It was then discov- l cred that those who desired to vote to | strike out the appropriation for the civil service commission had neglected to make |

DECISION PROMULGATED.
n Connection With Adjustment of Rates or
 Traffic From United States to Mexico

St. Louis, Jan. 1.-The decision of the board of arbitrators in connection with the adjustment of rates on traffic from points in the United States to points in the re- public of Mexico. via all rail versus rail and water rates, has been promulgated, the effective date of the new rates be- ing January "A, 1S9S
