Tho Kind Of Work Done By
PAINE'S CELERY
COMPOUND
Mrs. Mary Hickey, OF South
Sodus, N. Y, Had Rhsuma-
tism So Bad She Could Not
Walk. Had to be Wheeled

Invalids Chair.
The Use OF the Never Disappointing
Rheumatism Banisher Cured Her.


True merit, prompt and effective
results, and astonishing cures have
given PAine's Celery Compound po-
stion on the highest round Of the
ladder Of fame.
Paine's Celery Compound is today
the only spring medicine asked for and
bought by thoughtful and discerning
people. For the treatment OF serious
diseases, such as rheumatism, neural
gia, nervous disorders, and blood trou
bles, Paine's Celery Compound has no
equal.
The credi of Paine's Celery Com
pound has advanced to such high
eminence that amongst the millions
who use it, we find the names OF mil.
ll0naires, bankers, professional men,
wealthy merchants and women of note.
| All have made it their chosen remedy
for the cure Of chronic diseases and
for the Punishment of the little all
mentS that often make life mlserab e.
Paine's Celery Compound, in the
opinion of the leading druggists and
physicians, ha, displaced nearly all
the common advertised medicines OF
the day. This great work has been
accomplished only by merit and gen.
uine cures. Rheumatism, neuralgia,
and nervous disorders take flight in
springtlme when Paines Celery Com
pound is used for time. Why delay
the work of health building when such
life giver is within your reach? lest
it's efficacy this very day.

CABLE TO ALASKA
Line From Sound to Juneau or
Skasway to Have Backing
Of War Department.

Washington, Dec. Cit is probable
that bill will be introduced in con-
gress at the present session to provide
for the laying of an ocean cable from
some point on Puget Sound to Juneau
or Skagway. This matter has been
recommended several times by the chief
signal officer of the army as almost a
military necessity, and this year the
matter was taken up by secretary of
war.
The proposed bill will have the back
ing of Secretary Root, and will be
urged for passage on the ground that,
as Mr.. Root sail in his report, "dis-
turbances are always liable to occur in
new mining camps, and there is always
possibility OF their occurring along a
frontier line" At present it is posi-
BILE to telegraph to our possessions in
Alaska only through Canadian terri
tory, and Mr.. Root called attention to
this.

DOES HONOR TO REED.
Adopts Euloglstic Resolutions and
AdjOurns.

Washington, Dec. S.-The following
by Sherman of New York:
Resolved, That the following be
spread upon the minutes:
whereas, Thomas B. Reed, who
died in Warrington on Dec. Z, for %
years had been a member of this house
and for six years had been speaker, his
services terminating with the Fifty.
fifth congress.
"Reolved, That within this chamber
the scene of his life's greatest activity
was laid. 1t was here that he render
ed the services to his country which
placed him in the front rank of Ameri-
can craftsmanship. 1t was here that
he exhibited the mental and moral
characteristics which compelled respect
and admiration. His forceful ability,
intrinsic worth and strength of charac-
ter brought him popular fame in the
congressional leadership.
Sin him depth and breadth of intel
lect, with full rounded development,
had produced an intellectual giant who
lowered above his fellows and Impress
ed them with his power and wisdom.
distinguished statesman, a lofty pa
triot, a cultured scholar, an incisive
writer, a unique orator, an unmatched
debater, master of logic, wit and sa-
tire, one of the most famous of the
worlds parliamentarians this great
representative citizen of the American
republic has now gone into history"
In honor of the dead statesman's
memory the house adjourned at 1915
after adopting the resolutions unani-
mOusly.

by the bill, having the requisite knowl-
edge, shall answer on oath all inquiries
that may be made in writing, under
the direction of the interstate COM
merce commission, relative to it's finan-
cial condition or its capital stock. Such
answer is not to be used as evidence
against the person making it, except in
prosecutions under the proposed act.
A tax of per cent. per annum Is
imposed on as much of the capital stock
outstanding as is not fully pa id in cash
or other property, at its full cash mar
ket value, and provision is made for
llecting the tax.
Any concern contemplated in this
bill failing to make the return, as re-
quired under this bill, and any con-
Germ failing to pay tax imposed is to
be restrained, on the suit of the United
States, from engaging in interstate or
foreign commerce. 1t is made the duty
of the attorney general, at the request
of the interstate commerce commission,
to enforce the provisions of the propos-
ed act, and suit may be brought in any
district court of the United States, at
the election of the attorney general,
where an offending concern has place
of business.
Provision ia made that the interstate
commerce commission shall prepare
and publish statement showing list
of corporations and disclosing their
condition. The bill does not apply to
any concern the amount of capital stock
of which does not exceed $500, 900.

from that position in 1873 he served
the following four years as solicitor, OF
the city of Portland.
His first entry into national affairs
was made in 1876, when he was elected
to tn. Forty-fifth congress. During
this congress he first came into promi-
hence through speech, one of the few
formal ones ever delivered by him, in
which he argued against the payment
of damages by the United States for in
juries received by william and Mary
college at the hands of Union soldiers
during hte war. He also took conspic-
uous part in the proceedings of the
committee appointed to investigate the
Hayes-Tilden election, he being one OF
the minority members of the commit
tee.
He was successfully elected to con-
gress thereafter until his voluntary re-
tirement at the close of the Fifty-fifth
congress. His influence in that body
steadily increased and he soon became
a recognized leader of his party. In
the Forty ninth and Fiftieth congresses
he received the complimentary nomina-
tion for speaker, the Democrats being
in majority in the house. In the
Fifty-first congress, however, the Re-
publiacns were in control and Mr.. Reed
was chosen for that position.
1t was in the early days of that con-
gress when Mr.. Reed startled and en-
ragged the Democratic opposition by his
famous action in counting members
who were present at a roll call, whether
or not they exercised the privilege of
voting. Mr.. Reed was bittrely de-
nounced by the Democratic members,
and there were numerous stormy scenes
on the floor OF the house. 1t was be-
cause of his course in this matter that
he was termed Scar" Reed by his op.
ponents.
The soundness of his position in that
matter has since been generally recog-
nized, anu was followed by Mr.. Crisp,
his Democratic successor as speaker in
the Fifty-second congress. The Repub-
leans returned to power again in the
Fifty-third congress, and during that
and the Fifty-fourth and Fifty-fifth
congresses Mr.. Reed served as speaker.
He was reelected to the Fity-sixth
congress. but concluded to retire, and
resigned before the first session began.
After leaving congress Mr.. Reed
moved to New York to take up the ac-
tive profession of law, becoming a
member of the firm of Reed, Simpson,
Thatcher & Cornim. He has since de-
voted his time to that calling with
eminent success. 1t was while in
Washington in attendance on the su-
preme court that he was seized with
his last and fatal illness.
