House Will Dispose of the Reap
 portionment Bill
CONTEST FOR RIGHT-OF- WAY
Chairman Burton of the Rivers and Harbors Committee Wants to Get His Bill Passed-The Army
 Bill in the Senate.

Washington. January 2.-The House prob ably will dispose of the reapportionment bill this week, although Chairman Burton of the river and harbor committee, Is in- clined to contest the right of way with the census committee. The reapporton- ment bill, carrying out, as it does, g. con- stitutional requirement., is a matter of higher privilege than an approximation bill, and if Chairman Hopkins insists, it proba- ply will be given priority.
 MT. Hopkins, however, may yield if he finds that any larger proportion of the members will not return from their holt day vacation in time to vote upon the measure this week A very determined fight will be made against his bill by mem- bers of the states which lose representa- lives under it, and MT. Hopkins desires full House when the vote Is taken He is confident that his measure will carry with it full attendance In any event neither MT Hopkins MT Burton desires to proceed tomorrow, so that the session to- morrow probably will be brief and unim- portant On Friday either the river and harbor the reapportionment bill will be taken up.

THE SENATE.

Washington, January 2.-The general ex- pectation among Senators is that the first few days of the time of the Senate after reconyening tomorrow will be devoted to considera ton of the army reorganization bill, but there is some disposition to make an arrangement for a division of time that will permit the continued presentation of the ship subsidy bill during a part of each day
 meeting of the committee on military affairs has been called for tomorrow when procedure probably will be discussed and a decision reached as to whether the com mittee shall ask for all the time of the Senate until its bill is disposed of or for only part of it. Some members of the com mittee are disposed to divide the time with the subsidy bill at present, but all Sena- tors, regardless of politics, consider the army bill of pressing importance, because the time for which the volunteer soldiers in the Philippines were enlisted has almost expired. Hence it is possible that some arrangement will be reached guarding against any protracted delay on the mii- tary measure.
 Senator Cockrel said today that he thought the army bill would not be de- bated at great length unless there should be at the same time an agreement to carry the subsidy bill along with It. In that event he thought it might be difficult to get the army bill through promptly.

MAN SHOOTS HIS
 MEDITERRANEAN Nathan Daniel Called w. B. ChisoIm to the Door and
 Shot Him

Selma, aJnuary 2.-(Special )-At Marion Junction last night about 10 o'clock, Ma than Daniel called his brother -in-law, w. B. Chisholm, to the door and shot him in the face with shotgun, inflicting injuries from which Chisholm may die and which will at least cause him to the loss of an eye.
 It seems that Daniel, who is half-witted fellow, thas been flourishing pistol around the community ever since Christmas. Yes- terday he left it at the house of negro and his sister, Mrs. Chisholm, hearing about it, went and got the weapon. Her brother came upon her on her way home and tried to take the pistol away from her A struggle ensued in which Mrs. Chis- holm was considerably bruised and her clothing torn MT. Chisholm on hearing about the conduct of Daniels upbraided him, and the information received here is, gave him a whipping.
 Last night Daniels secured a shotgun, and going to Chsholm's Gouse, called him to the door and shot him in the face, with the results stated above.
 The Chisholms are of the best known families in the county, and the affair is greatly regretted.

NOT DUE TO CLIMATE. Catarrh is Found EveryWhere.

Catarrh is at home anywhere and every where. While more common in cold, changeable climates it is by no means con- fined to them, but is prevalent in every state and territory in the Union.
 The common definition of catarrh is a chronic cold in the head, which if long neglected often destroys the sense of smell and hearing; but there are many other forms of the disease, even more obstinate and dangerous
 Catarrh of the throat and bronchial tubes as well as catarrh of the stomach and liver are almost as common as nasal catarrh and generally more difficult to cure
 Catarrh is undoubtedly a blood disease and can only be successfully eradicated by an internal treatment; sprays, washes and powders are useless as far as reaching the real seat of the disease Is concerned.
 Dr. McIverney advises catarrh sufferers to use a new preparation, sold by druggists, called Stuarts Catarrh Tablets, because actual anaylsis has shown these tablets to contain certain anti-septic qualities of the highest value and being an internal reme- dy pleasant to the taste, convenient and harmless. can be used as freely as required, as we'll for children as for adults.
 An attorney and public speaker, who had been a catarrh sufferer for years, says:
 "Every fall I would catch a cold which would settle in my head and throat and hang on all winter long, and every winter it seemed to get little worse. was con- Unually clearing my tHTOdl dilu Hly NoiSe became affected to such an extent as to interfere with my public speaking.
 q tried troches and cheap cough cures and sometimes got relief, but only for short time, until this winter when I learn ed of the new catarrh cure, Stuart's Ca tarrh Tablets, through a newspaper adver- tisement. Two fifty cent boxes which l bought at my druggists, cleared niy head and throat in fine shape and to guard against a return of my old trouble keep box of the tablets on hand and when ever catch a little cold I take a tablet or two and ward off any serious develop ments''
 Stuart's Catarrh Tablets deserves to head the list as a household remedy, to check and break up coughs and colds, because unlike many other catarrh and cough cures these tablets contain no opiate, cocaine or any injurious drug.
