These are days Of records and Of the beat

Benson's Plaster, always the best, always

The people not only want to be cured
but cured quickly-and Benson's Plaster

bronchitis, liver and kidney complaints,
and other ills approachsble BY an external
remedy, yield TO Benson's as Ice does TO heat.
Neither Belladonna, Strengthening or
Ospsicum plasters are to be compared with
Benson'a People who have once tested
the merits Of Benson's Plaster have no use

1000 OF them. Among the first bills
Of Importance to be presented will
be the ship subsidy bill, which will
be introduced by Senator Frye, and
the Nicaragllan canal bill, which Sen.
ator Morgan will present. Other
early bills of Importance will be one
looking to the construction Of SUBJ
marine cable from the western coast
to Hawaii, and another providing for
the establishment of new executive
department to be known as the de-
partment Of commerce. On Thurs
day the senate will adjourn until the
following Monday. The general opin-
ion among senators is that very little
real work will be done before the
Christmas holidays.
The programme for the opening
day in the house, although it will fol-
low rigidly routine precedents, will
be interesting. The speaker will be
formally elected and escorted to the
chair by a committee. Gen. Hender-
son, whose reelection as speaker is
assured, will then address the house,
after which Mr.. Bingham, Of Penn
sylvania, "the father Of the house"
a titular honor bestowed upon the
Oldest member in point Of continuous
service, will administer the oath to
him. The speaker in turn will admin
lister the oath to the members-elect.
The old officers of the house who
were rechosen by the republican eau.
Gus then will be reelected and sworn
in. Following this resolutions will be
adopted to appoint committees to in
form the president and the senate
that the house has elected Gen. Hen
derson speaker and Mr.. Mcdowell
clerk. BY resolution Speaker Hender-
son then will appoint committee of
three to join similar committee
from the senate to inform the presi-
dent that a quorum Of the two houses
has assembled and that congress is
ready to receive any communication
he may have to make. Resolutions
to adopt temporarily the rules of the
last house and to fix the daily hour
of meeting also will precede the event
of the opening day, the annual seat
drawing. Gen. Grosvenor, of Ohio,
probably will make the announce
ment to the house of the death of the
late President Mckinley and offer the
resolutions upon which the house will
act. After tomorrow the house
probably will adjourn three days at
time until congress recesses for the
Christmas holidays. Speaker Hender-
son will occupy this time preparing
his committee lists, which will be an
nounced as soon as the house con-
venes after the holidays. Practically
no business will be transacted before
the holidays.
