Considerable talk was INDUCED in over
the proposition made by the committee
which offers to fix the time limit during
which the tariff of % per cent. against
the imports of Puerto Rico shall remain
effective, this time remaining from two
years to an indefinite period, but the op-
position indicated their unalterable oppo-
sition to any tariff. no matter how short
the time of its imposition may be. Mr..
Powers of Vermont, one of the opponents
OF the bill as 1t stands, however. 1t is said.
was favorable TO its passage with time
limit, but his associates would not concur
in this.
With a view to meeting some Of the OBJ
jections of the bill its advocates suggest
ed a change in It's title, which would in
dictate that 1t was intended as an exigency
measure, for the purpose Of raising reve-
nue., but this, also, found no favor with
the opposition, who reiterated their hos
tility to the bill on principle. One of the
advocates of the measure, after the con-
ference, expressed his opinion that the
bill finally would become a law with
provision limiting the time during which
II shall remain in force.

CASH DRAWER WAS EMPTY
Thief Entered Rock Island Ticket
Office But got Nothing.

An attempt was made yesterday about
noon to rob the cash drawer Of the Rock
Island passenger depot. City Ticket
Agent r. s. Torrington went to dinner
shortly after noon and locked up the
Office. During his absence someone pried
open the ticket window and gained en-
trance to the Office. The cash drawer
was broken open but the robber failed to
secure anything of value.
Since the ticket o zee was robed last
winter, while the nj sht agent was at
lunch, it has been the custom TO place all
the money in the safe when no one is in
the Office This was done yesterday and
the thief was thus unable to make a
haul. There were about twenty-five pen
MES in the drawer but the robber did not
take them. There is not the least clue
to the thief, as no one saw him enter or
leave the building.

PLAIN TALK
To Catarrh Sufferers.

Every person suffering from catafrh in
its many forms knows that the common
lotions, salyes and douches do not cure.
It is needless to argue this point or to
cite cases of failure, because every victim
Of catarrhal trouble knows it for himself
if he has tried them.
A local application, if it does anything
at all, simply gives temporary relief;
wash, lotion, salve or powder can not
reach the seat Of the disease which is the
blood.
The mucous membrane seeks to re-
neve the blood OF catarrhal poison by
secreting large quantities Of mucous. the
discharge sometimes closing up the nos
trils descending 10 the throat and larynx.
causing an irritating cough, and contin-
ual clearing of the throat. deafness, indi-
gestion and many other disagreeable and
persistent symptoms
A remedy to really cure catarrh must
be an internal treatment; a remedy which
will gradually cleanse the system from
catarrhal poison and remove the fever and
congestion always present IN the mucous
membrane
The best remedies for this purpose are
Eucalyptol, Sanguinaria and Hydrastin
but the difficulty has always been to get
these valuable curatives combined in one
palatable, convenient and efficient form.
Recently this has been accomplished and
the preparation put on the market Under
the name Of stuart's Catarrh Tablets;
they are large pleasant tasting lozenges.
SO that they may be slowly dissolved in
the mouth, thus reaching every part of
the mucous membrane and finally the
stomach and intestines.
An advantage to be considered also is
that Stuart's Catarrh Tablets contain no
cocaine, morphine or poisonous narcotics,
so often found in catarrh powders. and
the use of which often entails a habit
more dangerous than the disease.
Stuarts Catarrh Tablets are sold by
druggists at 80 cents for full sized pack
age and are probably the safest and most
effectual catarrh cure on the market.

"OUT THERE IN KANSAS"
Frank Weinschenk Publishes Book
on hingman County.


Frank Weinschenk of Kingman,
prominent st>ckman and politician of
that county, was in the city yesterday.
Mr. Weinschenk has just published

county, Mr.. Weinschenk said:
"A complicated force Of circumstances
worked against Kingman during its early

a railroad or was practically not settled
up to 1884 About that time eastern
people were anxious to invest in real es-
tate securities and rascally land agents
were ready to crowd heavy loans Gn
property OF small value for the commits
sion to be gained. Everything was pos
porous for time. This borrowed money
was being spent while the settlers fol-
lowed eastern methods of farming. Then
came 1887 and 1883 with short crops, part
~ due to drouth and partly because
people did not understand what to raise
or how to farm. a great many people
went back east to help the ment that
held the sack curse Kansas. others
waited until the opening of Oklahoma,
when hingman county was nearly depop-
ulated. Towards these people Kansas
should feel somewhat kindly. The cul-
tivation Of Oklahoma has had the effect
Of bringing about climatic change that
IS liable TO make hot winds and drouths
in August and September a thing of the
past However, people have learned to
plant corn early. We have plenty of
moisture In the fore part OF the summer
and consequently are in no danger Of
having cur crops cut short like Iowa and
