The best thing that ever happened
was at the moving of George Row,
who moved to Buffalo Valley last
week. What was it? There was
something round like a bottle, but
what was in it? You must ask
Philip Mace. He received it from
George. He was afraid George
could not handle it with care so he
kept it in his possession and it got
a pneumatic puncture and the re-
mains got Philips head so that he
could not eat his dinner, but he had
his desert.

Drink lsrain.O

after you have concluded that you
ought not to drink coffee. It is not
a medicine but doctors order it be-
cause it is healthful, invigorating
and appetizing. 1t is made from pure
grains and has that rich seal brown
color and tastes like the finest grade
of coffee and costs about tas much.
Children like it and thrive on it be,
cause it is the genuine food drink
containing nothing butnourishment.

STATUS OF THE CANAL BILL.

About three weeks ago the upper house
Of congress voted to refer the Nicara-
gua canal question, or rather the question
of a trans-oceenic canal, to the president,
giving him plenary power to do about as
he plcases with the whole matter. IT ap
pears that this disposition of the bill was
made az the earnest solicita ton of Sem
ator Ifoar. That gentleman urged the
passage Of the bill by the senate IN the
shape for two reasons: One was to get it
out of the way of the senate, and the
other was that he expected and hoped
that eventually it would come before a
conference committee that would lick it
into a shape satisfactory to all. That is
one way TO ~,eeislate, but not a good one.
But the bill is s~idetracked for the pres
ent, at least.
1t is extremely problematical whether
the canal bill will be reached and def
nitely Gcted upon by this congress. If
the house fail to act upon it before the
4th of March, the whole matter must be
gone over again from the ground up. If
the house amend it and the senate re-
fuses to concur, it will probably be passed

Aguinaldo doesn't want much. He
promises to release the Spanish prison.
ers he retains Upon the payment to him
of $500, 900 and the handing over to him
of the cannon, rifles n the 5000, 900
cartridges belonging to the Spaniards.
The Spanish government will not accept
this transaction, as it would, in effect, be
a violation of the engagements made
with this government at Paris, and,
moreover, would indirectly be equiva-
lent to protecting the insurgents.
