For the First Time, After a Two Weeks
Session, the West Virginia Senate
Recognizes the House.

CHARLESTON, W. Va, Jan. 21.-Both
houses of the legislature got to bust
ness Friday for the first time after be-
ing in session for the second week.
The republican senate at last recog-
nized the democratic house. In the

olutions for the unseating of Kidd,
dem. of Gilmer, and for the suspension
of Ashby, DEM, of Kanawha, pending
investigation into the contest for
his seat. These resolutions will be
acted upon Saturday in retaliation.
The democrats in the house served no
tice of contest upon Spencer, repu Bill

ing that by accepting commissions in
the volunteer army they forfeited their
right to their seats.

A HUSTLING HOST.
He Had Little Scheme for Making
His Guests Pay for Their
Dinners,

1t was an apparently innocent little din
ner invitation which drew a number of
California street heavyweights to the
handsome home of a capitalist on Pacific
avenue, who is no longer popular in the
Pacific Union club. After the dinner,
which was deliberately planned, perfectly
served and thoroughly appreciated, the
host led the way to the billiard room, where
he produced for the inspection of his friends.
new roulette wheel which he had Just pur-
chased.
After it had been examined and duly ad-
mlred monsieur proposed that his friends
tempt fortune with it, announcing that he
would be banker, and smilingly invited
them to break him." The guests scarcely
expected this sort of diversion, but they
hardly could decline the Entertainment
which had been provided for them Hav-
ing carelessly undertaken to call the turn
on the black or the red, they expected to
lose trife to their host, but they did not
anticipate any such financial catastrophe

offered, in an of-hand way, to stake one
and all, guarding against a loss of the
frequent loans, however, by taking the
checks Of his friends. For the purpose, with
admirable fOrethOught, he had provided
himself with blank checks on every bank in
town.
There was no escape for his victims. They
were all thoroughly trapped and well
scOrched before they were released. The

NERVOUS DEPRESSION.
IA TALK WITH MRS. PINKHAM.l

A woman with the blues is a very IN
comfortable person. She is illogical,
unhappy and frequently hysterical.
The condition of the mind known as
"the blues" nearly always, with wo-
men, results from diseased organs of
generation.
1t is source of wonder that in this
age of advanced medical science, any
person should still believe that mere
force of will and determination will
overcome depressed spirits and nerv-
BUSINESS in women. These troubles are
indications of disease.
Every woman who doesn't under
stand her condition should write to
Lynn, Mass, to Mrs. Pinkham for her
advice. Her advice is thorough COM
mon sense, and is the counsel of a
learned woman of great experience.
Read the story of Mrs. T. S. BENNETT,
Westphalia, Kansas, as told in the fol-
lowing letter:
"DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM:-I have suf-
fered for over two years with falling,
enlargement and liberation of the
womb, and this spring, being in such
a weakened condition, caused me to
flow for nearly six months. Some time
ago, urged by friends, 1 wrote to you
for advice. After using the treatment
which you advised for short time,
that terrible flow stopped.
81 am now gaining strength and
flesh, and have better health than
have had for the past ten years. 1
wish to say to all distressed, suffer
ing women, do not suffer longer, when
there is one so kind and willing to
aid you"

GEN. MILLER'S EXPEDITION.
1t Has Landed on Gumaras Island, Three
Miles From IlOilO, Without OppO-
sition From the Natives.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-Gen. Miller's
expedition has landed on Guimaras
island, three miles from Iloilo, without
opposition, Gen. Otis cables from
Manila.
Landing was necessary, because OF
the crowded condition of the troops on
the transports. Experience has proved
that soldiers lose spirit and fighting
qualities when confined long on board
ship, so the war department asked Gen.
Otis to ascertain if it was possible for
Gen. Miller to land his expedition near
Iloilo. He cabled that it was and was
then instructed to order landing.
1t was deemed inadvisable to have
this expedition return to Manila with
out having landed, because it was
feared the natives of Luzon would
think the Filipinos at Iloilo had re-
pulsed the Americans. The presidents
policy of pacifcation will be continued
and no attempt to land at Iloilo will
be made at present. The island on
which the men have landed is healthy.

OREGON MAY GO.
The United States Will Be Firm With
the Germans in the Samoan Affair.
Germany is Not Satisfied That Her Consul
Did Anything Wrong-John Bull and
UEcIe Sam Have an Opportunity
Show Their Friendship.

WASHINGTON. Jan. Extending the
receipt of definite news from Samoa,
the government is preparing for the
conference of American, English
and German diplomats in regard
to the recent trouble at Apia, Sa-
moa. The United States has no in
tention of getting out of Samoa and
the Berlin treaty will be adhered to.
The president, it is said, will insist
that the treaty be changed so that the
United States will be given equal share
in the government of Samoa.
New YORK, Jan. Cit is generally
understood, says the Herald's Wash
ington correspondent, that the note to
be presented to Germany in regard to
the Samoan affair will maintain that
the tripartite treaty has been grossly
violated.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 21.-The United
States dispatch boat Iroquois, which
sailed for Honolulu, carried a number

sible trip of the Oregon to Samoa.
BERLIN, Jan. Cit is not yet clear
to the foreign office that the German
consul at Apia, Samoa, has been guilty
of any irregularity. 1t is said that
Germany will not permit any violation
of the treaty signed at Berlin. 1t is
given out that the captain of the Ger
man warship Flake, at Apia, does not
attach much Importance to the recent
incidents.
LONDON, Jan. 21.-The Morning Post,
in discussing a new arrangement in
regard to Samoa, which it regards as
imperative, says:
''Great Britain and the United States
may frankly welcome the opportunity
of giving practical effect to the ex-
pressiOns of good will they have lately
exchanged. They may be trusted to re-
spect one ¬her's rights and interests,
and we would gladly take a similarly
confident view in the case of the third
partner in the contract. The growth
of i'll feeling from America and Ger
many is a force which will have
to be taken into serious account if an
effort is not made on both sides to re-
move it as instances occur. The pres
ent occasion is admirably adapted for
the beginning of the experiment"
