SECRETS.

There is one mani in the United States
who has perhaps heard more women's
secrets than any other man or woman in
the country. These secrets are not Sc
crets of guilt or shame, but the secrets of
suffering, and they have been confded
to DIR. r. V. Pierce in the hope and ex-
pectation of advice and help. That few
of these women have been disappointed
in their expectations is proved by the
fact that ninety-eight per cent. of all
women treated by DR.. Pierce have been
absolutely and altogether cured. Such
record would be remarkable if the cases
treated were numbered by hundreds
only. But when that record applies to
the treatment of more than half-a-mi1-
lion women, in practice of over thirty
years, 1t is phenomenal, and entities DR..

women, and the honor paid him by the
profession as the first of specialists in

Every sick woman may consult DIR.
Pierce by letter, absolutely without
charge. Every woman's letter which
contains her secret remains her secret

WON'T BE ALLOWED
To Invade the Chairs of the
Members
But Can Remain on the Floor
fit Behaves Itself.

When Speaker Osborn called the
house to order shortly after 10 o'clock
this morning he said:
II must insist that the members take
their seats and that the lobby keep
back to the wall. I notice a great dis
position on the part of the lobby to
crowd up against the seats of the mem
bers. I will not allow this, and I here
by instruct the sergeant-at-arms to see
to it that the lobby stands back to the
wall"
Chaplain Buckner opened the session
of the house by simply repeating the
Lords Prayer.
When Chief Clerk Buckner began to
read the journal. Benefiel of Montgom-
cry moved that it be dispensed with.
This brought Seaton of Atchison to his
feet with an objection to the motion.
Captain Seaton insisted that the read
ang of the journal was a part of the
business of the house and had always
been observed until the last three or
four legislatures.
BenefePs motion was voted down and
considerable time was spent in reading
and correcting the list of members.
As soon as the reading Of the jour-
nal had been concluded, Seaton intro
duced a resolution inStructing the ser
geant-at-arms to procure 200 copies of
the house rules of 1897 for the use of
the members, after which adjournment
was taken till 10 o'clock tomorrow.

RAISES THE ISSUE.
Senate Resolution Recognizing
Independence of the
Philippines.

Washington, Jan. 11-Vice President
Hobart presided over the senate today
for the first time since the holiday re-
cess, having been detained at his home
by an attack of grippe.
A bill authorizing Lieutenant Colonel
Vifquain of the Third Nebraska to ac-
cept from the emperor of China, the
decoration of the order of the double
dragon for distinguished service rem
dered, was passed.
Mr.. Bacon (Ga.) offered the following
joint resolution:
FirSt-That the government and Deo-
pie of the United States have not waged
the recent war with Spain for conquest
and for the acquisition of foreign terri
tory but solely for the purpose set forth
in the resolution of congress making the
declaration of said war, the acquisition
of such small tracts of land or harborS
as may be necessary for governmental
purposes being not deemed inconsistent
with the same.
Second-That in demanding and in re-
ceiEing the cession-of the Philippine is
lands it is not the purpose of the gov
ernment of the United States to secure
and maintain dominion over the same
as part of the territory of the United
States, or to incorporate the inhabitants
thereof as citizens of the United States
or hold said inhabitants as VassalS or
subjects of this government.
Third-That whereas at the time of
the declaration of war by the United
States against Spain and prior thereto
the inhabitants of the Philippine is
lands were actively engaged in war
with Spain to achieve their independ-
ence and whereas said purpose and the
military operations hereunder have not
been abandoned but are still being ac-
lively prosecuted hereunder, therefore
in recognition of and in obedience to the
vital principle announced in the great
declaration that governments derive
their just powers from the consent of
the governed" the government of the
United States recognizes that the peo-
pie of the Philippine islands of right
ought to be free and Independent, that
with this view and to give effect to the
same the government of the United
States has required the government Of
Spain to relinquish its authority and
government in the Philippine islands
and to withdraw it's land and naval for
ces from the Philippine islands and
from the waters thereof.
Fourth-That the United States here
by disclaim any disposition intention
to exercise sovereignty, jurisdiction or
control over said islands and assert
their determination when an independ-
ent government shall have been duly
erected therein entitled to recognition
as such to transfer to said government
upon terms which shall be reasonable
and just, all rights secured under the
cession to Spain and thereupon leave
the government and control of the is
lands to their people.

TO DESTROY LIQUORS.
Senator Coleman Offers an Important
Amendment to Prohibitory Law.

Senator Coleman of Nemaha today
introduced in the senate an amendment
to paragraph 2543 of the general stat
uteS, which comes in the nature of an
important amendment to the prohib-
itory law and outlines a method of pro-
cedure entirely new.
The proposed amendment specifies
that whenever the attorney general or
the county attorney shall be notified
by an officer or another person of the
sale of intoxicating liquors or beverage
in violation of law it shall be his duty to
diligently inquire into the facts and for
such purpose he is authorized and re-
quired to file with any justice of the
peace in the county where such violation
of law shall have occurred a sworn
statement of the facts brought to his
knowledge with a list of the witnesses
by whom it is alleged such violations
may be established. 1t shall be the duty
of such justice of the peace to issue his
subpoena for such person or persons to
appear before him to testify concerning
the sale of any Intoxicating beverages
that may have come to the knowledge
of such person. The subpoena shall be
directed to the sheriff, or to any con-
stable in the county, and shall be served
and returned to the justice of the peace
in the same manner as SubpoenaS are
served and returned in criminal cases.
Each witness shall be sworn to tes-
tify to the truth and true answer make
to all questions which NAV be pro-
pounded to him by the attorney general
of the state, or the county attorney,
touching any unlawful sale of intoxi-
eating liquors that may have come to
his knowledge. The testimony of every
witness shall be reduced to writing and
signed as in taking his deposition in
civil cases. For all purposes in this ac-
ton the Justice of the peace before
whom such inquiry shall be held shall
have power to punish any witness for
contempt for or on account of any dis
obedience of the subpoena or refusal to
be sworn or answer a witness or to
sign the testimony, and may compel
the attendance of witnesses by attach
ment. If the testimony shall disclose
the fact that an offense has been COM

COMES DOWN.
Seeks a Conference With the
American Officers.
Appoints Delegates to Meet Otis
Representatives.
A FRANK DISCUSSION
Results In Giving to Affairs In
the Philippines
A More Peaceful Aspect Than
They Have Hitherto Borne.

London, Jan. 1.-THE Manila cores
pondent of the Morning Post says:
There was an important conference
last evening between duly authorized
American and Filipino committees at
the instance of Aguinaldo. The latter
appointed Gen. Floros, Col. Aquilles,
and Senor Torres. Major General Otis
appointed Gen. Hughes, Col. Smith Of
the California regiment and Judge Ad-
vocate Crowder.
General Otis said the purpose of the
conference was mutual understanding
of the policies, aims and desires of the
people of the United States and of the
Philippines. There was a frank dis
cuSSion.
MORE PEACEFUL.
Washington, Jan. 11.-Such news as
has been received from Gen. .OtiS,iS rath-
er reassuring than otherwise as to the
situation in the Philippines. He made
alluSiOn to hostile collision. He
has been instructed to use gentleness in
dealing with the insurgents and to ad-
wise and cooperate with Admiral Dew
ey. Hhere is some reason to believe
that the present situation may be pro-
tracted longer than will be naturally
expected and that there would be no
open hostilities Immediately if at all.
The question has arisen here as to the
exact purpose to be served in attempt
ing to seize Iloilo. Originally it was in
tended to release the Spanish force
there besieged, but by their evacuation
of that place they have removed that
incentive, and were it not for the false
encouragement it would give the insur-
gents, there is no doubt that the United
States troops would not be moved
against Iloilo. Meanwhile the navy is
expected to draw a Gordon around the
island of Panay and also Luzon, should
it be deemed necessary to do SO, to pre-
vent the further supply of arms and
munitions of war to the insurgents.
Probably the gunboatS now here or en-
route will be reinforced by the MachiaS
and the Annapolis and Vicksburg.
MORE SHIPS FOR DEWEY.
New York, Jan. ia dispatch to the

troit, Marblehead and Montgomery to Ma

authorizes the commissioners of Shaw
nee county to lease the fair grounds
to the city of Topeka for park purposes
for a term of years, within one hun
dred.
Another measure of interest to Shaw
nee county was presented by Mr.. An
derson. 1t is proposed to create two
new courts in Topeka.
This bill abolishes the justice of the
peace courts in Topeka and places all
business in the new courts having
judges appointed by the governor, at
salary of s. 600 per year. After the first
two years the judges are elective. A
clerk and marshal are provided for each
court at salary of $3.50, and $1,000 re-
spectively.
E. The bill fixes the annual expense of
the two courts at little less than S.
900 per year. Now several times this
amount is lost under the present fee
system.

AN ODD IDEA.
Combination of Anti Burton Re-
publicans and POpuIists Might
Make Ingalls, Senator.

In case the evolution of politics should
bring about the resignation of Senator
Baker before the adjournment of the
present session, and the consequent ne
cessity of an election of his successor, it
is not impossible that a combination
may be made between the Republican
opponents of J. r. Burton and the Pop
ulist members of the legislature, to de-
feat Mr.. Burton for senator.
1t is known that Mr.. Burton has laid
his wires very carefully, and in case it
devolves upon this legislature to elect a
United States senator, he would, in all
probability, be the nominee of the Re
publican caucus. Notwithstanding this,
Mr.. Burton has number of opponents
among the Republican members. There
is a rumor of a scheme on foot among
these to stay away from any caucus
which may be called to nominate a Re
publican candidate for senator, and
in case Burton captures the majority
of the Republicans, to form a combina-
tion with the Populists to defeat him
and elect some other Republican.
1t has been the usual custom of the
minority to hold a caucus, nominate a
candidate, and vote for him as a mat
ter of form, but it would not be at all
unprecedented for the minority to join
a portion of the majority, if thereby the
majority caucus could be defeated and
disorganized.
On joint ballot in the present 1egis-
iature the Populists have 60 votes. 1t
requires SO votes to elect a United
States senator. If the mbination can
be made, % Republicans can name as
United States senator any opponent of
Mr.. Burton upon whom they may agree
1t is said that there are many more
than % Republicans in both house and
senate who will be willing to make
most any sort of combination to defeat
Mr.. Burton, provided the combination
is upon some leading Kansas Republi-
can.
The scheme has not yet assumed
tangible form, but that it has been
thought of as feasible in case of an en-
ergency, there can be little doubt.
The Populists suggest that if the
anti-Burton Republicans nominate John
]. Ingalls, they will vote for him.

Nearly all of the special session war
rants were paid before the Populists
went out, and the amounts are all small
ones, principally the expenses of the last
two days of the session.
In case Attorney General Godard's
opinion should be adverse to the spec
iaI session, it is probable that man
damus proceedings will be brought in
the supreme court by some Fopulist
having a contested warrant, against
State Auditor Cole to compel him to
audit the special session warrants. In
this way the legality of the special ses-
sion will be brought before the supreme
court for decision.
In view of the fact shat there are now
two Republican justices on the su-
preme bench, the opinion of the court
will be awaited with interest.
