Whooping Cough.

A woman who has had experience with
this disease, tells how to prevent any
dangerous consequences from it. She
says: Our three children took whoop-
ing cough last summer, our baby boy
being only three months old, and owing
to our giving them Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy, they lost none Of their plump
ness and came out in much better health
than other children whose parents did
not use the remedy. Our oldest little
girl would call Justify for cough syrup
between whoops.-Jessie Pinkley Hall,
Springville, Ala. This remedy is for
sale by l. II. Myers, druggist.

In recent article prominent physi-
clan says, at is next to impossible for
the physician to get his patients to
carry out any prescribed course of
hygiene or diet to the smallest extent;
he has but one resort left, namely, the
drug treatment" When medicines are
used for chronic constipation, the most
mild and gentle obtainable, such as
Chamberlain's Stomach & Liver Tablets,
should be employed. Their use is not

Spring Ailments.

There is an aching and tired feeling;
the liver, bowels and kidneys become
sluggish and inactive, the digestion i'm
paired with little or no appetite, no am
bition for anything, and a feeling that
the whole body and mind needs toning

there has been an accommodating of waste

Woll Endorsed

Some of Pueblo's leading demo
cratic statesmen have just received q
communication from Denver appoint
ing them as members of a committee
TO form and maintain an "Orman and
Adams club" or company, in this
city.
At first glance it was thought that
the letter referred to some sort OF a
banking or railroad building COM
pany, and that the honored recipi-
ents were thus invited to become
charter members of the concern by
simply contributing to the expense
Of charter, etc. This idea, so hurried. !.
ly reached, was, no doubt, through
the familiarity with the names of
Messrs Orman and Adams and their
particular lines of business. But on
reading further it was found to be a
political proposition, and one in the
interests of candidate for governor
aud one for the United States senate.
The Announcement is made that
Mr.. Orman is a candidate for re elec.
ton and this is stated right ont in
plain English that cannot be misun-
derstood. The circular vouches for
the gentlemsn's qualifications for a
second term with the statement that
his candidacy Is endorsed by Hon
Jack Martin, who holds the office of
penitentiary warden by the appoint
ment by Brother-in-law Governor
Orman.
Hon. Dave Howe, the insurance
commissioner, also vouches for the
governor, as does also Hon. W. H.
Orman, secretary to Mr.. Howe and
nephew to the governor.
Frank Adams (Hon.) president by
the appointment of the governor of
the Denver fire and police board en-
dorses both his brother Alva and the
governor for the Offices they seek.
Hon. F. Bradley Orman, the gov
ernor's son and by virtue of that fact
the game warden at this time, also
vouches for his father, and Senator
Billy Adams endorses his brother for
United States senator and Mr.. Orman
for governor.
It is needless to add that the
proofs therein set forth are sufficient
to show to all good democrats that
Mr.. Orman is fit man for governor
and Mr.. Adams for senator, for what
better endorsement could men have
than that of their SONS, nephews,
brothers and sppointees.
The document is mastery one in
other particulars as we'll as the one
referred to. 1t displays a wonderful
knowledge of political science and
acute scumen on the part of its orig
inators.
Quite soon all the good democrats
Of Pueblo will be marching in pro
cession with drums and torches and

Tho outlook for Congress.


There are some points to be con
sidered by those who imagine that
the republicans are going to be beaten
in the election for congress in 1902.
Two-thirds of the twenty nine extra
congressman which will come in the
apportionment which goes into oper.
alton in this election will be in the
north and west-that is, in the re-
publican region. Most of the redis-
trictlng of the states which has been
done in preparation for the election
this year has been done by republi
can Legislatures. In this latter re-
spect the situation is widely differ
ent from what it was ten years ago,
when the allotment based on the
census of 1890 went into effect.
or course, these two things will
count for much in the republican
party's chances. In the presidential
and congressional canvass of 1892,
when Cleveland and q democratic
congress were chosen, the republi-
cans had democratic congressional
gerrymanders to fight in many of the
northern and western states, and
these counted for good many of
the seats which the democrats won in
the congress elected that year. All
this has been changed IN 1902. The
redistricting of the states outside Of
the old slave region has been done
in vast majority of cases by repub-
lican Legislatures, and the dominance
which was given ten years ago to the
democratic minority has been over
come. The redistricting has been
made fairly in the republican states,
and the majority party will find that
its preponderance will register itself
in the election.
But these are not the only reasons
why the chances favor the republi-
cans. The republicans have the
right side and the popular side of all
the great issues which have two
sides. On everything which the
democrats combat the republicans
on the Philippine government ques-
tion, on the maintenance of the army
in cur new possessions, aud on the
general question of expansion-the
democrats are losing votes all over
the country. The democratic attacks
on the American officers in the
Philippines are calling out rebukes
from prominent democratic journals
all over the country, and these things
are bound to tell in the election.
Moreover, the republicans are har
monious. Nevertheless, they must
take special pains to poll all their
votes in order to render victory GER
tain.-Globe Democrat.

 THESE GIRLS HAVE A BAIT FARM
The Profitable Industry of Two Maine Sisters in Shipping Small Fish.

From the New York Sun.
 Every day when the mail stage from Beddington, Me, starts for Bangor and Ellsworth 1t carries on the rack behind a .large fat tank filled with live bait caught and put on its way to market by Miss Evelyn Carr and Miss Ann Carr, two sisters, who are trying to get living by an employment new to women. All attempts to grow minnows, red fins and mummy clubs artihcially having failed. the fisherman of Massachusetts rely upon Maine for the bait they use and the increased call for small fish suit able for catching pickerel through the ice has raised the price until there is profit in making shipments of clubs and sticklebacks to distant points.
 Late in the fall, before the ponds freeze over for the winter, these small fish seek the shoal eoves along the shores and de- posit their eggs in the sand to be matched during the winter, in spots so near the ice that larger fish cannot reach them. At such times the small fishes are wholly careless of the approach of man, and may be dipped by thousands in fine hand | nets.
 Believing that there was money to be made in selling bait. the Carr girls began their work q year ago, and last winter cleared more than s40O above expenses. Tha year they have built q large tank near running stream and stocked it with more than one million fish. all of which they expect to sell before spring.
 They are sending out from 300 to 1000 a day now to supply customers in Massa- chusetts, and will not increase their bus mess to any extent until February l., when open time on Maine trout begins The rates will, consequently, hold low for more than two months, and those who wish for live bait now can buy all they want at the rate of twenty cents hundred. but in February, when the fish which furnish live bait have sought the warm depths of the ponds and the fishermen are trying their luck on the ice, every chub in the lot will bring a bright new cent.
 The total investment made by the Carr girls up to date does not exceed $250 for water pipes, tanks and nets and they expect to realize fully s1OOO from sales of their fish

UNIFORM SCHOOL BOOKS.

From the Prattville Progress.
 The Progress is aware there are disad- vantages in having a uniform series of school books for the state, but it believes the advantages accruing by having such a uniform series greatly over-balance the ills. There is enough experience now in selecting school books to make the task of selecting a good series rather easy. There is no reason why a series of as uniform questions for examination of teachers. In fact, we are much of the opinion that of the two, the uniform text books would be the easiest accomplished.
 The legislature when it meets in Janu- ary should lcse no time In getting down to passing law for the purposes of say ing to the parents the enormous costs of text books each season. As the matter now stands. 1t not infrequently happens that parents arc called on to buy new set of school books once a year. sThe legislature can prevent this. and we feel promptly
 As Was intimated above, there are scv- eral states which have had the uniform series of text books for years. and it has proved satisfactory where the law was passeo in proper form and shape to ac- complish the ends desired. Let the Ala tema 50icns get down to business and pass one of the best laws on the subject yet made. We believe they can do so. The Progress has faith in the next legis- lature.

neaih of Ex-snaaker Reed.

The dropping out of the strongest personality developed in recent years in the republican party recalls a dis graceful chapter of modern politics. After serving twenty years in con- gross, six of those years as speaker, Mir. Reed became by the clear force of his intellect, the head and leader of his party, and ins1S96 he was con- fessedly it's choice as @ candidate for President, for which place he had a laudable and natural ambition. But he had no money, and he had neg lected to curry the favor of monied interests. He was much too independ- ent to do anything of that sort. The result was wholly natural. Mark Hanna purchased the delegates to the national republican convention of that year, and William Mckinley, instead of Thomas Bracket Reed, was nomi- mated.
 This blow probably drove MT. Reed out of politics. At any rate he soon retired from political life, taking up the practice of law in New York. He did not reach the White House, but American history will be deficient if it does not give the dead statesman a high place in it's pages. For six years he absolutely dominated legis- lation and politics in the house of representatives. These were the years when he was speaker. No speaker before or since ever ruled the lower house as firmly as he did. Intellectu- ally he stood head and shoulders above the rest of his party, and he ruled it with a rod of iron. He was intellectually strenuous. He was, too, sincere and honest. Now that he is dead and gone his great qualities shine out, especially when he is con trasted with the pigmies and time servers of his party when he was in active political service. Living in a period almost barren of great names, he has left deep impression upon his own generation, and this impress sion will no doubt become the final verdict upon his remarkable congress sional career.

Another Free Delivery Town.

5 The Bessemer Weekly is wholly mistaken when it says that The Age Herald had any desire to slur Besse- mer when it published the manufac- turing statistics of Alabama towns. Bessemer was treated exactly as Bir- mingham was. or any other Alabama town. Alabama should pull togther and we had and have no desire to prejudice any Alabama town, much less one within Jefferson county.
 Bessemer is a prosperous town, as all know. This is made apparent by the recent order giving it the benefits of the free delivery service. Through the active work of Congressman Un. derwood Bessemer will have on March 1 free carriers, and twenty-eight street boxes. This puts another Ala sbama town in the list of free deliv- cry cities, making seven in all in the state. It is a proper recognition Of Bessemer's increasing population and prosperity and manufacturing activi- ties All that it needs further at the hands of the government is an ex- tension of the Warrior improvement to it's very bounds, and this is well assured in the long run.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1902-12-09
Al the Turn of the Year.

a After all there is nothing in the balance-of-trade situation-in exports or imports-to justify pessimism of any sort. Our exports of manufac tured goods were never greater in amount except in 1900, and then they were but slightly larger. We are in vading foreign markets, not simply with our food products, but with our manufactured goods.
 Our exports taken as a whole will probably exceed in the calendar year our imports by $4OO, ,OOO,o0O, or by just about the aggregate of our exports of manufactured goods. In other words, our shops and mills have given us this year handsome balance, and there is no reason to expect that they will do less well in the years to come, despite all the efforts of England and Germany to regain lost trade. The situation as a whole is full of hope, whether we regard the products of our soil or the products of our fac tories.
 This healthy state of things is re- f1ected in current railroad earnings. The railroads are making fine show ings. They are crowded with busi- ness. Most of them are crowded to the point of congestion. It is poor road indeed that is not earning divi- dends, and some of them are earning as high as 15 per cent on stocks that represent much more than actual in- vestments. Nor is there the smallest expectation of any immediate change in railway earnings.
 Why then the hesitation and shrink age in Wall street? The answer must be found in the word caution" for it cannot be found in anything else, The banks and capitalists think the time has come to slacken the speed of upward prices, in order that pros perity may be maintained long time. This involves a waiting time in Wall street, No one is buying, but no one is desirous of selling. The public is not in Wall street, and the banks are not encouraging loans for speculative purposes. It is healthy, wholesome, waiting time, and that is all, and prosperity is losing nothing because of it. It is in fact scheme to pro- long prosperity, and as such it should be regarded.

THOMAS BRACKET REED
 REMARKABLE CHARACTER
BY w. H. DENsoN.

speech was devoid of logic of forceful presentation of his cause. and was lack ing in that power of appeal which is so necessary in leading a forlorn hope which enthuses ones followers and chains them to their leader. MT. Reed told me he never was satisfied with that speech No finer audience was ever be- fore a speaker; everything to inspire was present, and yet no clarion notes, no thunders of a majestic power were heard, and crushing defeat followed. The as- sault of Crisp of Georgia upon his posi- tion and contention was whitening and destructive.
 MT. Read was not an orator. he was an entertaining and attractive speaker. Wit, hunlor. ridicule and sarcasm were the chief weapons in his armory. He was merciless in the use of these and would as readily employ them against friend as foe
 Success in the efforts of the immediate present was the controlling inspiration of his nature. Mr Reed was a specialist in the requirement of political .nforma- tien. and extremely partisan and section- q. as an eastern republican against a western republican. His political vision was circumscribed to his own horizon; he lacked breadth. and therefore, could never be a statesman. Notwithstanding all this, he was possessed of a most re- marlxable intellect and brilliant mind.
 As a conversationist in social inter course he was par excellent. 1t was like the dazzling of diamonds, and the spark ling Of champaigne to hear him talk. Ills wit and humor were unexhanstible, and he was a most fascinating and com panionable man. In private matters he was just generous and great hearted. With all his opportunities and power, he retired from congress q poor man, he was honest. Not like Give, who said. in regard to his plundering India. that when he contemplated his opportunities and reflected he had taken only a few millions, he was amazed at his own mod eration. Reed WAS incorruptible by money. His soul scared higher than tho getting of money. The heggarly elements attending on money getting were too in- fectious of littleness and meanness ever to lead him away from an honest dis charge of public duty.
 MT. Reed came as near being great man. not to be, as this country has pro- duced in the last half century His fail- ure must be attributed to his defective temperament, and not his want Of in- tellectual power.
 In all his domestic relations he was all that gentleness and affection could re- quire, and all that loyalty to home and loved ones could suggest.
 Take him all in all 1t will be long time before we see his likes again.
