Wild With Eczema
Fire Could Not Have Been More
Painful.

" After spending two years in tax
ing all kinds of medicines that were
suggested for eczema, but without
avail, my mother was induced TO take
Hoods Sarsaparilla. The result was
wonderfully gratifying. Her limbs
had been terribly lacerated by the dis
ease, and there were times when fire
could not have been more painful.
She was, in fact, almost wild. Two
bottles of Hoods Sarssparills COM
pletely cured her, and not a trace Of
eczema was left" Z. W. DECKER,

SHIP SUBSIDY FIRST.
Will Have Preference Over Spooner
Philippine Bill.

Washington, Dec. 3-The republic
can senatorial committee on order Of
business this afternoon decided that
the ship subsidy bill should displace
the Spooner Philippine bill as unfin-
ished business. 1t also considered at
the same time the disposition of the
Hay -Pauncefote treaty and decided
that the question would receive alter
nate attention with the shipping bill.
The arrangement provides that the
shipping bill shall have the preference,
but that when no one is prepared to
make speech on it the senate shall
go into executive session for considera-
tion of the treaty. The arrangement
further provides that if the army bill
reaches the senate rrior to the disposal
of the shipping bill or treaty. either
or both of these may be displaced tenn
porarily, in order to permit prompt
consideratio of that measure, which
is considered to be of more pressing
importance than either of the other
questions.
The same understanding prevails
regarding the appropriation bills.

MEETING OF CONGRESS FORM
ALLY BEGINS.
FIRST BILL IS INTRODUCED
Crumpacker Presents Measure for
New Apportionment Of
Representatives.

Washington, Dec. 3-The opening
of the session in the house was brill
liant, but not exciting. There were
the usual throngs in the galleries and
the usual display Of floral pieces on
the floor, but the proceedings were
purely formal, consisting of rapping to
order by the speaker, prayer by the
chaplain, roll call Of members, the ap-
pointment of formal committees to
await upon the president and the re-
ception and reading of the presidents
message. Despite the fact that
great presidential campaign had been
concluded within a month, the best OF
feeling seemed to prevail between
the victors and vanquished. The read
ing Of the message occupied over two
hours. It was listened to with re-
spectful interest by both sides.
The deaths Of late Representatives
DAILY of New Jersey and Menefficker
of Delaware, and Senators Davis OF
Minnesota and Gear of Iowa were an
nounced, and as further mark OF re-
spect to their memories the house ad-
journed until tomorrow.
The first bill of the session intro
duced in the house was by Clum-
packer, republican, of Indiana, max
ing the apportionment Of represent
atives in congress under the 18th CEN
sus. It provides for an increase of the
mem mbership from 357 to 365.
The following states gain in repre-
sentation: Arkansas l, Colorado L..
California 1 Connecticut !, Florida l..
Illinois 2, Massachusetts l, Minnesota
2, Missouri l, New Jersey 2, New
York 8, North Dakota /, Pennsyl-
vania 2, Texas 2, Washington 1, West
Virginia 3. The following states lose:
Kansas 1, Louisiana 2, Mississippi 8,
Nebraska 1, North Carolina 4, South
Carolina 3, Virginia 1.
The Senate.
In the senate today the work of the
short session of the 56th congress was
successfully launched.
1t had been the purpose of the senate
to announce the deaths Of Senators
Gear, Of Iowa, and Davis, of Mime
sofa, Immediately after assembling and
then to adjourn and receive the mes
sage Of the president tomorrow, but
as this had been announced by the
leaders of both branches to be ''busi-
ness session. it was determined to re-
ceive the message today and thus gain
one day in session when that much
time may be of immense Importance.
Aside from the reading of the message
and the administration of the oath Of
office to W. B. Dillingham;, the new
senator from Vermont, who succeeds
the late Justin S. Morrill,, no business
was transacted. The other new mem
ber of the body, former Representative
John B. Dolliver, who succeeds the
late Senator Gear of Iowa, was pres
ent throughout the session, but his
credentials were not presented and he
was not sworn i'll. These formalities
will be complied with tomorrow, now
that the senate has been informed off,
cially of the death of Senator Gear.

TEST THE LAW
The Poll Tax Law t0 Be Test
 ed in Court

The Phepix Gazette says The preseot poll tax law wherein voter is compelled to exhibit poll tax re- ceipt before Lis name can be placed on the great register, in our opinion ought to be tested in court. IL looks strange that a statute can impose a dollar mark upon an Arizona citizen before he is permitted to exercise a franchise conferred upon him by the laws of the country. We suggest ,ha; the two committees get together and make a test case of this at once before Chiei Justice Street adIourns court. IL is an imposition upon the public, thls law. Various states of the union have a property tax quali- ficstion but few if any, have poll tax affixed to their franchise. We think the republican and democratic county committees should get to- gether select a man to offer his name Co the registering officer without s poll tax receipt. be refused, and then test the law by mandsmus or other process the attorneys in the case may q sem best.'
