Corn BY Weight.

A special dispatch to the Baltimore sun
from Laurel says: Saturday a delegation
of forty farmers from Prince Georges
county called uIoa Senator German in
Washington and urged him to have sec
ton > stricken out of House bill SG26,
which provides that hereafter in the Dis
trct of Columbia $50 pounds of corn on
the cob shall constitute a barrel and $50
pounds of shclcd corn shall constitute a
barrel" The Prince Georgians want
measure, and not weight, to rule when
selling corn inside the District Many of
them take corn in quantities to the Wash
ington markets, livery stables mills and
other places of disposing of it, and they
object to the restrictions and inconven-
fences that would result from the enforce
ment of a weighing act.
A petition has been presented to the
Senator rcciting that the bill lis detr-
mental to our interest and the interests Of
the great majority of middle class farmers
and corn hauers living in the vicinity Of
produce in the city of Washington" They
further represent that they view the bill
with suspicion, believing it to be an
opening wedge to further Limitation and
restriction upon the already congestcd
rights of the farmers and tending to bcnc
| fit by cgislation a few more fortunate
| individuals at the cost and expense of the
| large majority of men who can i'll affort
| further restrictions upon their lcgitimat,
operations"
Among the farmers and corn haulcr>'
who composed the delegation were County
Commissioners Richard + Swami, Thro
dOre Middleton, Richard Cox JOSEPH
Tayman and Bingham Hayes
Senator German told them that he hat
a sympathetic side for the corn -haulcr,
as he was a farmer himself in Howar,
and disposed of produce in WashiHtiton
and that he would willingly support al
amendment to the bill This amcndmen
has been prepared by counsel of The com
plainants, Mr. James c. Rogers. and sub
mitted to Mr.. German House bill No
1926 is entitled An act to punish tn
impersonatiOn of weigh masters in tn
District of Columbia and for other pur
poses, and is now before the Senate Dis
trict committee, of which senator Gor
man is a member.

Suggestions by Prof. Prrttyman.

With the prospect apparently before us
of getting rid of State debt Mr.. Pretty
man suggests that the tax on that account
be then levied for schools He says:
1T is evident that at the next session
of the General Assembly in January, 1900
the question must be settled. What shall
be done with the five and Fourth cents
heretofore ed to pay the State debt. but
happily no longer needed for that pur-
pose? There can be but two propositions:
First. to abolish the five and one fourth
cents tax; and, secondly, to increase the
State school tax by that amount This is
a live question, and now is the time for
all interested in public schools to aid in
concentrating public opinion in favor of
the increase of the State school tax. 1t is
"A grand opportunity that should not be
ne elected nor postponed.
"The next Congress is opportune for
the presentation of the claim of the State
of Maryland for its just and equitable
share of the proceeds of the public lands
of the United States for the support
of our State public schools, and it will
be presented by the committee Of the
State board of education, Governor
Lowndes chairman, and as we are advised
will be urged by our Senators and Repre-
sentatives.

Stands High in the Estimation of Those
Who Have Tested
Its Merits.

There is no doubt whatever as to the
merits of Morrow's KiG-ne-oids, judging
from the wonderful results obtained right
here in Wheeling. Morrow's Kid-ne-olds
are used daily by hundreds of Wheeling
citizens and they all testify without any
hesitancy about the great good they have
experienced by the use of this great kid
ney remedy Kid-ne-oids win positively
cure kidney baekache, dizziness, sleepless-
ness, restlessness, nervousness and all url-
nary disorders and diseases arising from
disordered condition of the kidneys.
Mrs. VIM. Davidson, OF 1885 Chapline
street has been a sufferer from q diSor-
dered condition of the Kidneys for some
time and has been greatly benefited by the
use of Morrow's Kid-ne-oids Mrs David
son states that she would, at times, have
complete retention of the urine and that
the services of a physician were required
to relieve her. She also suffered very Sc
verely from lame back and nervousness
A few doses OF kid-ne-oids very greatly
relieved all the above conditions; she per-
sisted in using kid-ne-ods and now says
that Kid-ne-oids have cured her entirely
Of all the above ailments
cure where other kidney remedies have
failed. Kid-ne-oids are scientific prepa-
ration accomplished by years of study;
they do cure kidney and urinary disorders
Chas. r. Goethe, the druggist sells them
on a positive guarantee and will refund
your money If kid-ne-oids do not give you
relief
Morrow's Kid-ne-oids are not pills. but
yellow tablets, and are put up in wooden
boxes which contain enough for about two
weeks trea tment, and sell at fifty cents a
box at Chas. r. Goetzes drug store. A
descriptive booklet will be mailed upon

bons Of cure for consumption has
created great deal of excitement all
over the country. The publication in
the Register OF the facts in the case on
Saturday morning has resulted in q
food of letters and kilograms from
every point Of the compass in regard to
the matter. The doctor repeats what
ne stated before, but he is doubtful
what caused the cure, whether or not
it was the snake-bite or the perman-
ganate that was administered Certain
it is that the woman. Mrs. John John
son, is now well and that she does
the homework for five people, where
before the snake-bite was received she
was so weak that she could hardly
crawl and had at least one hundred
hemorrhages. Not the slightest trace
OF the disease remains, and she is
stronger to-day than she has ever been
before in her life. The marriage OF DR..
Page A. Gibbons. who has made this
wonderful accidental discovery will
take place at 10 o'clock on Wednesday
to Miss Louise Finnell. OF this city.
The wedding will be quiet one, and
the couple will at once be driven TO
