committee, which has the river and
barbor bill before it, has not favored
attaching to that measure the Nicar-
aqua canal bill unless there be no
other way to get vote In the house
on the canal bill. The canal bill is
not obnoxious under the senate rules
as an amendment of the river and
harbor bill. Even under the house
rules no appropriation can be made
for any Improvements for which sur
veys have not been made. Numerous
surveys have been made for the Mic
aragua canal and every one of them
has been to the effect that the canal
is entirely practicable.
Speaker Reed, although three
fOurths Of the house are in favor of
the canal, will not allow a chance for
the bill 10 be considered aud passed
in the house. Hence, the only hope
Of getting a vote in that body On this
measure for which the Republican
party and every other party OF any
importance in the United States in
national conventions has declared in
favor, is to attach it to an amendment
to some other bill which necessarily
will be passed on by the house. 1t is
not improbable, therefore, that the
canal bill may be passed by the sen.
ate as an amendment to the river and
harbor bill and If the house ever gets
a chance to vote on it without regard
to the question Of the rules, it will
adopt the measure.
As to the differences between the
house and senate on the bill and the
methods of raising the money, they
can all be arranged in conference
committee. The last river and harbor
bill which became law carried ex-
penditures Of 60 million dollars, or
more than four times the amount it
is proposed to spend in any one year
on the Nicaragua canal and about
One-half the total cost Of the canal,
As the official estimates show that
the canal will be an extremely profit
able investment, there is no reason
apparently why the pledge of the Re.
publican party and the recommended
tion Of the administration to pro-
vide for the construction of the canal
should not be carried out at this ses-
sion, or at an extra session held im.
mediately at the close of this one.
Otherwise the United States will lose
its opportunity to build any canal in
Nicaragua for great many years, il
Eot forever.

Palace of Kansas Corn In Paris.

The New York Press has the follow
Ing Kansas story:
"a man from Kansas, whose cir
cumstances tend to make him optim-
istic and enthusiastic about himself,
his state and the world in general al
present, was in New York last week.
Corn was his pet enthusiasm-corn at
the Paris exposition.
"'We are going to show the world
what corn is and what it can do, he
declared. Those Europeans don't
know what a grand thing it is. Why,
when they see our exhibition at Paris,
it'll not only boom corn, but it'll
boom the whole United States for
producin' it. Commissioner Peck is
with US, and we'll see that the display
of corn in that wicked French city'll
be an eye-opener
"'COngress has only appropriated
$4,000 for the display Of. all American
agricultural products, but it'll have to
do better'n that at the next session,
Still, we're not depending on congress
alone. The legislatures of Kansas,
Nebraska, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa and
Missouri are all going to make appro.
priations. If they do appropriate, as
they could well afford to, One-ffth Of l
per cent of the value of their annual
corn crop it would amount to more
than half million dollars.
"'We're goin' to have a Germ palace

corn-cornmeal, hOminy, starch, corn
flour, sugar, candies, syrup, oil, soap,

the Americans appreciate that,
though, and won't it make the Euro!
peans hungry for more!
"'We're not gOin' to be stingy,
either. Samples of cornmeal, -four

you can make from corn.

And Save Endless Suf-
fering which Winter
Brings.

The most offensive of all dis
eases becomes more intense as cold
weather approaches. In fact,
many who have been under treat
ment for so long, and during the
summer feel little discomfort from
the disease, are almost persuaded
that they have been cured. But
the first chilling blast of winter
proves that the disease is still with
them, and as the winter advances,
their ,Catarrh grows in severity.
Those who have felt only a slight
touch of Catarrh may be sure that
only cold weather is needed to de-
yelop the disease. What appears
to be only a bad cold will prove
more difficult to cure than for
merly, and will return with more
frequency, until before long the
disease is fully developed.
"For years 1 suffered from severe
case of Catarrh, and took several kinds
b medicines and used various local ap.
plications, but they had no effect what.

Get a Start
On Catarrh

Those who get a start on the dis

find cure less difficult. Catarrh

But it is equally important that

These files contain the history of our

the counties Of the state. As much
might be said of the value of the
books, pamphlets, manuscripts, pict-
ures, and museum relics in the
library. All 60 to preserve and illus
trate the history Of the people of the
state in all respects. Shelve this
library, and furnish a museum for the
display of the vast number of inter.

tiOn for want of rooms. Now give its
faithful builders a chance to properly
place and display its contents.

SeatOn's resubmissiOn resolution

The senate on a final vote decided
against establishing any new state
normal school, by vote of q to u.
This is considered as final for this
session, and half dozen ambitious
towns will be disappointed. A new
branch insane asylum will probably
be established, and the towns that
are after normal schools will have to
wait. Senator Lewelling, who has
been leading Wichita's fight for a
normal, said today: "There will be
no normal school legislation, for this
is the asylum's year. told my people
they had better try for the asylum
and let the school go,Ebut they thought

dates for the location of the asylum

The expected bill providing for the
manufacture of binding Irvine in the
Kansas penitentiary was introduced
10 the house this morning by Captain
Seaton and in the senate by Senator
Householder. 1t calls for an appro.
priation Of $4,000; $4,000 of which
is to be used for purchasing machin.
cry and engine, and $4,000 for a
revolving fund for handling material
used in the manufacture of the
Irvine. 1t has been urged by several
Of the lawyer members that the "per-
petual" appropriation feature of
$4,000 will not stand, but Seaton
and Householder say there can be no
question that it is revolving fund
and only perpetual subject to the
approval of future legislatures. The
matter has brought out more comment
than any other act Of the legislature.
Scott of Elk, burdened with the
oppressiveness Of the great bulk of

the gentleman from Elk fails to make

bills always dread the Scott rapids.
