of enlivening features. The most nots-
bic sreech of the day was made by
Mr. GTosvenor Of Ohio. He answered
the critics who have charged him with
Inconsistency by saying that reciproe-
ity was sound Republican doctrine and
that tariff schedules were not sacred.
He predicted that the time would come.
although ii had not yet arrived. when
there would be an memorable demand
for revision OF the present rates. Mr..
Prince OF Illinois made a strong speech
against the measure.

In the HnuaN.

Washington, April 9. - The first day
OF the debate on the Cuban reciprocity
bill which opened in the house yester-
day was disappointin from a spectacu-
Jar standpoint.
There were no sensational clashes
after the debate was actually begun,
and none of the bitterness which was
expected to crop out on the floor came
to the surface. The vote on the motion
to go into committee of the whole TO
consider the bill, however, developed
the lines OF cleavage and showed that
the Democrats are quite as much d.
vided on the question as liz the ma
jority. In the division, which is re-
garded as practically test vote on the
bill. ia Republicans and SO Demo-
Gratis voted for the motion and Al Dem
ocrats and 80 Republicans against II.
Mr.. Payne, the Republican leader,
opened the debate for the bill in a
strong speech which commanded close
attention from both sides of the house.
There were only two other speeches.
Mr.. Newlands. a Democrat from Me-
vada, took the position that the con-
cession should not be made TO Cuba
unless she were invited at the same

he would vote for the bill. He con-
tended that reciprocity was in line with
time honored doctrine, and that while
Republicans might fear II, Democrats
she uld not.
In the senate.
vigorous protest was m ade In the
senate yesterday by Mr.. Cullom of Ill
inois against the passage of the Chinese
exclusion bin in it's present form. Com
ing from the chairman OF the commit
tee on foreign relations, the protest
made deep impression on the senate.
Mr.. Cullom, while expressing himself
as In favor of the exclusion OF Chi
nese laborers, said that many of the
provisions of the pending measure were
In contravention OF our treaty obliga-
tons with China. Mr.. Patterson OF
Colorado and Mr.. Perkins OF California
supported the bill. The dill was drastic
in its provisions they admitted, but no
more so than was necessary to elm
mate the possibility OF fraud.

IS II AN EPIDEMIc1
Vital Statistics Show an Alarming lnereas e
In an Already Prevailing Disease
Are Any ENemptI

At no time in the history Of disease has
there been such an alarming increase in the
number Of cases Of any particular malady
as In that Of kidney and bladder troubles
now preying upon the people OF this country.
Today we see a relative. a friend or an
acquaintance apparently well. and In a few
DAYS we may be grieved to learn OF their
serious illness or sudden death. caused by
that fatal type Of kidney trouble-Bright's
disease.
Kidney trouble often becomes advanced
into acute stages before the afflicted Is
aware OF its presence; this is why we read
OF 90 many sudden deaths Of prominent
business and professional men. physicians
and others. They have neglected to stop
the leak in time.
While scientists are p~uzzling their brains
to find out the cause, each individual can,
by a little precautlon, avoid the chances OF
contracting dreaded and dangerous kidney
trouble, or eradicate It completely from
their system IL already afiicted. Many pre-
cious lives might have been, and many
more can yet be saved. by paying attention
to the kidneys.
1t is the mission Of The Omaha Bee to
benefit its readers at every opportunity
and therefore we advise all who have any
symptoms Of kidney or bladder trouble to
write today to DR.. Kilmer & Co., Bingham
ton, N. Y. for a free sample bottle OF
swamp-Root, the celebrated specific which
is having such a great demand and re-
markable success in the cure of the most
distressing kidney and bladder troubles.
with the sample bottle Of Swamp-Root will
also be sent free a phamphlet and treatise
of valuable information.
Don't make any mistake, but remember
the name, Swamp = Root, DR.. Kilmer's
swamp-Root, and the address, Binghamton,
N. Y, on every bottle.
