ing through his body and coming out
on the right side. The policeman

lon to the scene. The combined
forces soon restored order. McCrae

as that which had already been re.
jected, 1t is said that there is no
prospect of another conference.
General Manager Baumhoif of the
Transit company, said that no new
lines were opened yesterday but that
the number OF ears had been increased
on those lines in operation, Cars

til the strike is ended. The company

the Cass avenue line during the day.
Few passengers rode in the cars. Dis.
turbances were frequently along the
line.

CONGRESSIONAL FORECAST.
Question and Appropriation Bills-C0n-
ference Reports In the House.

Washington, May 2s.-The time OF
the senate during the present week
will be divided largely between the
discussion of the Philippine question
and the consideration of the appropri-
alton bills, with diversion about the
middle of the week in the Clark case
Senator yelling will speak to-day on
the Boer resolution and he will be fol-
lowed by Senator Teller on the Philip
pine question. Speeches on the Phil
ippine question also will be made by
Senator's Pettigrew and Turner and
probably by other senators. There is
apparently no probability of the Phil
ippne bill passing, but there is gen
eral desire on the part of the opposi-
ton to reply to Senator Spooner's
speech before the close of the present
session.
The sundry civil appropriation bill
will probably be considered for two
or three days more and by the time
il is disposed Of the general deficiency
bin will be ready for consideration.
Neither the deficiency nor the mil
tary academy bills, the only appropri-
alton bills undisposed Of, except the
sundry civil bill, is expected to con-
sumo any considerable amount of
time.
The senate will make an effort to
meet the plans of the house in the
matter Of final adjournment on June
G, but there is general apprehen-
sion among senators that the date
may be postponed until the 9th or the
nth. In addition to the appropriation
bills still undisposed Of by the senate
there are still several appropriation
bills in conference and disposition is
manifested on the part of senators not
to name the date of ad journment until
these are well out of the way.
1t is generally believed that the
Montana senatorial contest will be
disposed of when it is brought up by
referring it to the committee on priv
ileges and elections and that then
nothing more will be heard of it dur
ing the present session. The commit
tee resolution declaring Senator
Clark's original election was not legal
also bids fair to remain on the calen-
dar.
The house leaders are figuring that
the senate will agree to the houses
resolution to ad iourn Wednesday, June
6, so that much business will be
crowded into the coming week. lndi-
vidual members with belated bills are
pressing for recognition and will be
given some show. Conference re-
ports on appropriation bills will have
the right of way. There are half a
dozen measures of public Importance
pressing, including the oleomargarine
bill, the ant-canteen bill, the st. Louis
fair bill, the Philadelphia museum
bill and the antitrust measures, but
the Indications are that none of them
save the antitrust bill and resolution
will be considered. Friday and Satur-
day are to be devoted to their consid-
Grafton under special rules. The
friends of the others, however, are
active, aggressive and insistent and
some of them may be successful, but
the programme of the leaders does not
90 much beyond driving through the
appropriation bills, the passage OF the
antitrust legislation and the cleaning
up of a few odds and ends.

Facts
for Women

Any article, whatever its merit,
must be made known to the public by
means of advertising. Advertising,
however, though it can do much for .
thing, cannot do everything. 1t may
create sale for time, but in order
to insure lasting demand the thing
advertised must have solid worth.
This is the case with Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound. 1t has
solid worth.
Women everywhere have learned
this fact, and the result is that there
is a lasting and absolutely unequaled
demand for it. 1t has the largest sale
of any remedy for female ills in the
world, and this has been the case for
years.
The reason for this is that Mrs.
Pinkham claims nothing that she is
not entitled to claim. She can do all
that she says she can do, and her
twenty years Of experience make her
advice invaluable. Herexperience has
been not only long but worldwide,
and she has helped more women back
to health than any one else in the
world. These facts should, and do,
have immense weight with all sensible
women. Remember these are not wild
statements hit solid facts
