.Recommen7
Doasou q
Cough BaIsam.
Dodsou

First of all, we recommend il
because we know just what is in it,
and know that it is the best kind
of a cough cure for family use.
Second, we recommend it be-
cause our customers come back and
tell us that it does more good, is
quicker In effect, and can be relied
on more implicitly, than can any
other cough medicine which they
have ever used.
And third, we recommend it,
because we believe that it is the
safest and best cough remedy that
you can get for treating Coughs,
Colds, Hoarseness, Loss of Voice,
Bronchial Irritation and Infamed
Conditions of the Air Passages,
Throat and LugS.
You will not make mistake if
you select this one. Price 25c and
SOC bottle.

GREAT AUDIENCE TO WELCOME
Mrs. lie Moyne Upon Her First Visit
to Americus.

Mrs. lie Moyne Upon Her First Visit
to Americus.
The announcement by the Times
Recorder that Mrs. LIE Moyne, one of
the greatest of stage favorites, was
coming to Americas on 30th. inst. was
hailed with greatest pleasure by play
goers. The aim of Mrs. LeMoyne's
new stellar vehicle, "Among Those
Present." in which she will appear
here is first and last to furnish lively
entertainment, incidentally, though,
tits worth noting that the evils OF
reckless extravaganza in dress and
luxurious living are set forth by the
playwright, Glen Marlborough. The
leading character, Mrs. Clinton, is @
distinct American type and her love of
the social world involves her in diff
culties serious and funny. There are
strenuous times for q while, and in
the end the heroine learns there are
things better in life than the babbie OF
social prestige.

Washington, Jan. 9.-Count Cassini.
the Russian ambassador here, called at
the state department today and had a
long talk with Secretary Hay over the
Niu Chuang incident and Chinese affairs
In general. The count has heard Moth
ing from his government respecting the
Niu Chuang emeute, which he regards
as certain sign that no serious view of
the matter is taken by the st. Peters
burg authorities. The ambassador looks
upon the collisions that have taken
place at Nui Chuang as nothing more
than rows that occur at seaports when
sailors are given liberty after being
closely confined to snip. He is conf
dent these collisions will be avoided in
the future in view of the determination
OF his own government and the govern
ment of the United States to taken any
necessary measures to prevent, thru the
action of any subordinate officials, a
strain of the friendly and cordial rela-
tions between them.

N)|E ON CANAL Bill
Debate On the Measure Closed
This Afternoon and Vote
Is Expected.
Hepburn and Cannon We're the
Principal Speakers on the
Bill Today.
The Measure Read for Amend.
ment Under the Five
Minute Rule.

Washington, Jan. 9.-In anticipation
Of the vote upon the Nicaraguan canal
bill today there was a large attendance
when the house met. Adamson, of Geor-
gia. and Wooten. of Texas, were the
first speakers today and urged the pas
sage of the Hepburn bill without
amendment.
Upon request Of Davis, of Florida. the
time for general debate was extended
until 2:30 this afternoon. Sparkhann, of
Florida, spoke in favor of the Hepburn
bill. Cannon, of Illinois, said building
the canal was business proposition
and should be considered from a bust
ness standpoint. He favored the canal
for years, but because he had not been
willing to proceed without information
and against fixed treaty law he had
been called hard names. The speaker
criticised Hepburn for withholding his
speech from the Record, whereupon the
Iowan offered to give Cannon his speech
and sent it over by page.
Cannon, discussing the language OF
the bill, said under its "artful Ian
guage" full power is given to pay not
only Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Mari
time Canal Company their demands,
but also the American and Nicaraguan
spectators who owned property along
the route. He criticized the undue
haste of the promoters of the Nicara-
qua canal. He wanted to see the proto-
col that was recently negotiated. He OBJ
jected to the provision that contracts
could be made for the whole work. He
said it was doubtful If the war taxes
could be removed il the government
was committed to such a gigantic en-
terprise He would vote for the Norris
amendment. Dearmond, Of Missouri,
favored leaving the question of routes
to the president. With the alternative
authority he could make better terms.
The bill presented was not mature. AT
o'clock Hepburn took the floor to close
the general debate. He replied chiefly
to the criticisms of Cannon and drew
frequent applause and laughter as he
lloosed his shafts of sarcasm al the
chairman of the appropriations commit
tee.
Hepburn said Cannon posed as a busi-
ness man, yet he wanted to pay $40, 0,000.-
600 for something the commission had
said was worth s27O00.000 General de-
bate on the bill closed at 2:45 and the
bill was then read for amendment un-
der the five minute rule.
