The Greatest Discovery Yet

w. M. Repine, editor Tiskilwa ILL.,,
"Chief," says: awe won't keep house
without DR.. Kings New Discovery for
Consumption, Coughs and Colds. Ex-
perimented with many others, but
never got the true remedy until we
used DR.. Kings New Discovery. No
other remedy can take it's place in our
home, as in it we have a certain and
sure cure for Coughs, Colds, Whooping
Cough, etc." 1t is idle to experiment
with other remedies, even if they are
urged on you as just as good as DIR,
Kings New Discovery. They are not
as good, because this remedy has a re-
cord of cures and besides is guaranteed.
1t never fails to satisfy. Trial bottles

WHY is It

If catarrh is a blood disease, as some
claim, that physicians frequently ad-
wise change of air and climate to those
suffering? Catarrh is climate affec-
ton, and nothing but local remedy
or change Of climate will cure it..
Ely's Cream Balm is so efficient as to
do away with the necessity of leaving
home and friends, causing instant re-
lief and is real cure of catarrh.

The Spaniards today refused to cede
the United States a coaling station in
the Caroline islands.
The American peace commissioners
entered the joint conference today in a
nervous frame of mind. They evidently
had reasons to believe that a possibil-
ity existed even at this late hour, that
there might be a rupture. This feeling
of apprehension was based on the tenn
per the Spaniards have displayed late
ly. This week the commissioners or
Spain do not conceal the fact that hav-
ing failed to gain all the important
points, they are Indifferent as to Wheth-
er or not their conferences result in a
settlement of peace by the signing of
a treaty by which Spain loses all her
colonies.
A miscarriage Of the negotiations
would leave their political prestige at
home no worse, if not in a better posi-
ton than if they signed the treaty. The
Americans are anxious not to give the
Spaniards any preteXt to break off the
negotiations, or take offense, so far as
the exercise of patience and diplomacy
can steer clear of protests.

The French government is reported

deavor to exact some pledge for the

GOVERNMENT TELEPHONES
AS Well as Telegraphs Are in Opera
ton in Porto Rico.

Washington, Dec. 8.-The situation in
Porto Rico promises to force on this
government for a time at least the ex-
pertinent of federal ownership of tele-
graph and telephone lines. The war de-
partment controls all lines in Porto
Rico and in the evacuated sections of
Cuba. The latter however is looked
upon as merely transient. In both pla-
ces the lines are being repaired and the
government is handling commercial
messages after government matter. The
signal service in charge of this work
says it is too soon to draw conclusions,
a the cost for maintenance and long
delayed repairs is just now more than
the income from the lines. But in six
months from the first of January the
signal service expects to be able to
furnish some interesting data as to the
profit in the insular wire service.
The military occupation of the lines
will naturally continue till the estab-
lishment of a civil government and
considerable interest is expressed as to
how the management of the lines will
be disposed of eventually, or whether
it will be permanently retained by the
government. This enforced object les
son in federal management is natural
~ expected to have considerable infiu-
ence pro or con in the agitation for like
control in this country.
The signal service reports the COM
mercial business on the island wires
light at present, owing to disturbed
business conditions, but what there is
of it, is eXpeditiOuSly and SatiSfactor-
lily handled by the government. Tele-
phones are being substituted for tele-
graph instruments on most of the pure
ly military lines, but the work of re-
construction in Cuba is very slow as it
is at least ten years behind hand in
repairs The latest military line under
construction is from Nuevitas to Santa

VEST CAN TALK NOW.
Free to Fight Pension Bills
Since the Country is Reunited.

Washington, Dec. Sat the opening
of today's session of the senate it was
decided that the adjournment be until
Monday next 1t was also determined
to give one hour of today's session to
the consideration of pension bills.
In connection with the consideration
of bills on the pension calendar, Mr..
Vest CATo), said: Il do not want to be
captious about this pension business
and do not want to set myself up as
reformer, but this thing Of passing a
lot of pension bills, simply by the read
ing of the titles and when a quorum OF
the senate Is not present, has got TO
be stopped" Further referring to the
methods by which pension bills are
passed by the senate, Mr.. Vest SAID;
Men of the south have permitted these
bills to be passed, having some dellcacy
about entering objections to the course
of procedure. Recent events have
ohliterated sectionalism ana we are
united We can therefore come here ana
object to this spoliatiOn, and [ use the
word advisedly, without fear OF haVlnS
our motives impugned, or our words
anisconstrued. We are paying out in
round figures S141, 600, 600 annually Tor
pensions and it is our duty to lind out
why it is that 80 years after the close OF
the civil war, this thing of pension
claims shows so enormous q sum. L

pie because I have not taken a more
determined stand on this pension ques-
ton. / want, however TO pay IIu-
nificentIy and literally in pensions.
regard such payment as sacred duty,
but I do object to the passage of these
bills without proper consideration and
with the same restrictions that are
hedged about other measures"
Mr. Gallinger On. H.), as chairman of
the pension committee, agreed with Mr..
Vest in his desire to have the pension
bills carefully considered. He thought
a quorum of the senate ought to be in
attendance when the pension calendar
was considered.
During the consideration Of bills on
the pension calendar Mr. Caffery Ga-),
introduced this resolution: That it
is the sense of the senate of the United
States that the president enter into
negotiations with the government OF
Great Britain for the purpose of abro-
eating or modifying the Clayton-Bulwer
treaty, so far and to the extent the
same may be deemed necessary to pre-
vent the United States from owning.

HE OFFERED HIS CARD.
A Cuban Captain Objects to Going to
Jail

Santiago de Cuba, Dec s.-The Gu
bans here are greatly excited over yes
terday's proceedings resulting from the
commemoratiOn of the death of Antonio
Maceo, particularly at the fact that
bullets reached the camp of the Fifth
immunes, which proves that the shots
were not fired by the Cubans who fired
volleys in the air from the public square
here. 1t now seems the bullets which
struck the tents of the immunes came
from different party of insurgents,
near the trOcha, who were also cele-
brating- Regarding the action of the
three drunken Cubans who entered the
Spanish club and smashed chandeliers
and furniture, the Cubans say they
deeply deplore the outrage and do not
think it fair to look upon it as a race
act. The San Carlos club intends to
hold a meeting and to tender an apol-
ogy to the Spanish club. The police are
blamed for not making any arrests
Col. Beacon, the American acting
military commander here, accompanied
by the chief Of police, personally ar
rested Juan Castillo, this morning. He
IS captain in the Cuban army and
was the man who led his two negro
companions into the club. Castillo who
is well connected, objected to go to
jail and offered his card instead. Col.
Beacon, however, was obdurate.

Consumption Cured.

BROUGHT BACK FROM THE GRAVE.
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
bottle of Brazilian Balm. Seeing its
wonderful effect, the doctor advised its
continued use. Mr.. James soon aftei
dismissed his doctor, and depended
on the Balm alone. His recovery was
rapid 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 az
almost a miracle.
