CONGRESS-,

Senate and House convened on
last Monday. All the House mem
bers were'sworn in except Roberts,
Momron, elected from Utah. The
case was referred to a committee for
action. All Senators were sworn in
without objection, but The right OF
Messrs. Quay, Scott and Clark will
be contested before the usual CON-
mittee. The Presidents Message
was submitted on Tuesday, and is
q very lengthy document, generally
approved. He maintains the gold
standard, as we'll as the present stat
ues of affairs in Cuba and the Phil
ippines. 1t is conceded, Roberts
injured his case by his evasive
speech, and has added thereto, by
issuing an address to the people
against the method adopted, to ex.
clude him from his seat. Better
wait until tue evidence has been
heard.

Or. Baker Removes.

We regret to announce the remov-
al or DR.. N. D. Baker from this
own. TO Cleveland, 0. He has a
.~crative practice here, and ranks
among the leading physicians. Near.
ly thirty years ago, he purchased
the residence ard good will of DR..
Quigley, and rapidly won an excel.
lent practice. He always took an
active interest in enterprises bene-
fetal to the town, and he will not
only be missed therefrom, but he and
his good wife will be missed from
social gatherings and charitable ef-
forts. His son, Newton D. Jr., late
of this city, is now in active prac-
tice.
An acquaintance in business and
in social intercourse with them for
all those years, leads US to add, our
best wishes for and to them in their
new home.

ParSnip Complexion.

1t does not require an expert to
detect the sufferer from kidney
trouble. The hollow cheeks, the
sunken eyes, the dark, puffy circles
under the eyes. the sallow parsnip-
colored complexion indicates it.
A physician would ask if you had
rheumatism, duh pain or ache in
the back or over the hips, stomach
trouble, desire to uirnate often, or a
burning or scalding in passing it; if
after passing there is an dissatisfied
feeling as if it must be at once re-
peated, or if the urine has brick
dust deposit or strong odor.
When these symptoms are pres
emf, no time should be lost in re-
moving the cause.
Delay may lead to gravel, .catarrh
of the bladder, inflammation, causing
stoppage, and sometimes requiring
the drawing of the urine with instrn.
ments. or may run into Bright's
Disease, the most dangerous stage Of
kidney trouble.
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the
great discovery of the eminent kid
ney and bladder specialist, is pos
tive remedy for such diseases. It's
reputation is worldly wide and it is so
easy to &c. at any drug store that
no one need suffer any length Of
time for want OF it.
However, if you prefer to first
test its wonderful merits, mention
The harrisburg Independent and
write to DR.. Kilmer & Co., Bing-
hamton. N. Y. for sample bottle
and book telling oil about it, both
sent absolutely free by mail.

A TRIO OF DAYIS'S.

Tt. is announced that Colonel
Thomas B. Davis, in conversation
with State Senator Conwell. stated,
he would not be candidate for the
Democratic nomination for Cover
nor. The chief reason assigned, was,
that his time was entirely taken up
with his business affairs. He also
said, that the talk OF his brother; ex
U. s. Senator, Henry G. Davis, &C
cepting the nomination, could not
be realized, because he was even
more engrossed in business affairs.
That they are busy men, and men
of business, is very true, and then
again, it is equally as correct, that
the election of any Democratic tick
ct in West Virginia is next to i'm
possible. With the great addition
al development of the State, there
has come an influx of population,
that is likely to cause even a larger
Republican majority, than that Of
1895. But if it must be a Davis, al
though, there may be no relationship,
is another, Tom, at Grafton, who
made so gallanta battle in the Wat
erloo Of 1892. Like Thomas B. and
Henry g., from small means, by
sturdy, persistent effort and bust
ness tact, he has become man of
means and of large business inter-
ests. He, with many others, went
down in a game fight against those,
who howled, for bill, tin cups, the
dinner bucket, and American 3
couldn't make tin plate, nor be pro
tected against foreign wool, the
lumber and coal, and as to lumber
and coal, the other two Davis's re-
ceived the full benefit. Question
able, if they would say now, let in
Canadian, or rather British lum Der
and coal, without q tariff, or give
up the fisheries and the Alaskan
gold fields, on the boundary ques-
ton. Would they? Give the Graf
ton "Tom" a chance, for every per-
son, then living and surviving, now
know he was proven right. II be

Another Canal Bid,


When the Board OF Public Works
met 10 Baltimore to consider the bid
Of 1000 made by THE Mercantile
Trust and Deposit Company for the
States holdings 10 the Chesapeake
and Ohio Canal, an additional bid
was submitted by Mr.. Charles K.
Lord, who some time ago made a
bid Of 100000 for the property.
Mr.. Lord's second bid contains
two propositions--one to pay the
State S425 900 for its interest, free
of all claims and judgments against
The canal, the other to pay $3.50, 900
for the States interest, subject to
The judgments and claims, which,
Mr.. Lord says he il advised, will
amount, with interest, to from $115,.
600 to $4,000. As part of either
or both of these propositions Mr..
Lord agrees to stipulate that the Ca
nal shall be maintained as a water
way for rs years.

A CLOCK FOR JANUARY LIST.

Every useful citizen will endeavor
to curtail public expenses, yet all
want every ordinary facility and
accommodation, that even rigid
economy will approve, AID sturdy,
practical effort accomplish. The
town council, for unknown cause
or reason, voluntarily yielded a user,
a right of way, ingress and egress,
acquired by Limitation, to wind and
and attend the town clock. If not
q fact, that clock might be likened
to the one ofthe grandfather, Stop

one has been asked, begged for

said: "The time to come is no more
ours than the past" and it's equally
true, as a French writer has OBJ
served: GAIL the treasures of the

DOR purchase che moment more of

that by sight or sound, 1T calls to

Torrance thereof. The proper place
for such accommodation is the cup
ola of the court house, which would
enable it to be seen and heard from
afar, and with an electric light the
time of the night could be made
discernable. Surely, if subjected to
bids, under proper conditions, and
the County Court in consideration
of the town taxes obtained from the
town, would cheerfully pay two third,
and the council the other third. APP

vance far enough to ascertain pro-
able cost OF such desirable improv-
ment and convenience.
