Senator Bacon OF Georgia.
| to tho senate should he wish again tt
| represent the people. among whom he
was born and whom he has served sc
faithfully.
Senator Bacon is now 63 years old
He married Miss Virginia Lamar in
1868. Macon, Ga, is his home town.
Representative Mann and Represent
alive Morris of Minnesota were dis
cussing one of their colleagues in the
house restaurant the other day.
ooh, he is a cloakroom kicker" said
Mr.. Morris, in polishing off the absent
individual.
By that term the Minnesota legisla-
tor meant that the member did his
kicking in the cloakroom and failed
to make public his objection to the
plans of the leaders in congress on the
floor of the house, where they would
have official and political weight
There are a number of cloakroom
kickers," explained Mr.. Mann to a
companion, who are famous for the
vehemence of their protests made in
the cloakroom against the way things
are going. l have never seen man
who talks right out in the cloakroom
who had anything to say in the same
line on the floor. | have one member
in mind whom l have heard deliver a
half-hour's dissertation in the cloak
room and then walk directly to his
seat, secure the recognition of the
speaker and make an address of SINH
lar length on exactly the opposite side
of the question. Some of the cloak
room speeches of congressman would
make interesting reading for their con-
stituents if they could be recorded and
printed"

Senator Augustus Octavius Bacon
one of the representatives of the state
Oh Georgia in the upper house of con-
gress, has record typical of those
statesmen whom 1t is the custom OF
the South to send to the national leg
islative halls at Washington. To long
and honorable service, combined with
high rank in the army of the con-
federacy, he adds brilliant record as
a lawyer in his state. He was twice
speaker of the Georgia house Of rep
resentatives. Perhaps needless to say
Senator Bacon is Democrat in poll
tics and valued member of his party
in debate or counsel. His term expires
in 1907, but his state, ever grateful for
services rendered to the common
wealth, undoubtedly will return him

Another Man Altogether.

Valley, Mo-, Feb. 24th.-There is d
man in this town who has undergone
a most remarkable physical change in
the last few months.
His name is Perry Nelson and those
who knew him but short time ago
are amazed at his present condition.
He had not been feeling well for
some time and suspecting that the
trouble came from his kidneys, which
he knew were not any too strong, he
determined to try kidney medicine.
Dodds Kidney Pills were highly
recommended and Mr.. Nelson began
treatment of them. He was reward
ed by complete restoration to vigor-
gus good health. He says:
II used six boxes Of Dodd's Kidney
Pills and they have helped me great
deal. | feel like another man and can
recommend Dodd's Kidney Pills very
highly"

IN eminent politician and his wife
says the Manchester Guardian, were
lately entertaining at luncheon lacy
who brought with her a little girl
During the meal the child helped her
self to something that was handed
around, tasted it. and left it on her
plate. Her mother, horror-struck, said:
THAT Is very rude; you should apollo
gize to Lady -" Whereupon the
conscience stricken infant murmured
through her tears, 81 didn't mean to be
rude. / wouldn't have taken any If

The Pe-ru-na Medicine Co., Columbus, o.:
Dear Sirs-I have had occasion to use your
Pe-ru-na medicine in my family for colds. and
it proved to be an excellent remedy. Ihave
not had occasion to use it for other ailments.
Yours very truly, w. M. LORD.
1t will be noticed that the Governor says
he has not had occasion to use Pe-ru-na for
other ailments. The reason for this is, most
other ailments begin with cold. Using
Pe-ru-na to promptly cure colds, he protects
Instantly against other ailments. This Is ex-
actly what every other family in the United
States should do. Keep Pe-ru-na in the
house. Use it for coughs, colds, la grippe,
and other climatic affections of winter, and
there will be no other ailments in the house.
Such families should provided themselves
with copy Of DR.. Hartman Stree book,
entitled "Winter Ca rrh." Address DR..

Up to the Limit.

Several years ago a southern Kansas
politician who had an excellent repu-
tation for not paying his debts found
himself defendant in lawsuit. He
employed Archie Williams, now attor-
ney general for the Union Pacific, to
defend him. Williams won the case.
After the verdict for the defendant was
returned the politician asked Mr.. Will
liams the amount Of his fee
at is $780," said Williams.
"Great Scott, Archer said the poll
tician, that isn't enough. Why, you
your bill for that amount"
mo, won't do it" replied Williams.

A Warm Retort.

After a church conference, held a
few weeks ago, two brother ministers
had, says the Outlook. friendly tilt
regarding the meaning of a certain
passage in one of Shakespeares plays.
They could not come to an und eIstald-
Ing, and one of them remarked joking
ly: "Oh, we'll, brother, | will ask
Shakespeare when | meet him in heav-
en-" But supposing Shakespeare did
pot go to heaven?" retorted the other.
"Then you can ask him about it," was
the quick reply.

This is wonderful district; the
growth was splendid; all kinds of

older settlers had good buildings of

in fact, we came to the conclusion that
we had found what we were looking
for, good country. While the nature
of the soil changes and is in some
parts light, In others stony, and again
heavy, generally speaking it leaves
nothing to be desired. Hay and water
are also in abundance and wood can
be found along the river slopes and
islands. We have decided to locate
there and shall certainly advise our
friends to do likewise. We also trust
that this report may have the effect of
drawing the attention of land seekers
to this district, and can honestly ad-

will find a good thing. AS farmers

What the Track Costs.

Few persons know that on a railwa,
line like the Santa Fe it costs nearly
as much to renew ties ($935 900 year
ly) as is paid to station agents ant
station clerks; that the annual repairs
of roadway and track (S2,350,OOO) ex
coed the salaries of trainmen and traf
fic clerks; that the renewal of rails
(s626,000) costs almost as much as the
telegraph service; that watchmen and
track-walkers draw nearly as much
money ($137,000) as is paid out for
stationery and printing; that the item
of rail fastenings ($250,0OO year,
exceeds the expense of legal service.
But it pays to have the track just
right.

ONE OF DOUGLAS PISTOLS.
Derringer That belonged to the Fa-
nous Illinois Statesman Has
Been Located.

4 Derring ger pistol, with an unusual
history. has come into the possession
q Col. Walter French, the file clerk
~ the house Of representatives He
found il not long ago in a pawnshop
and promptly observed that the in
scription on the handle of the weapon,
IS. 4. Douglas" was probably the
name of Stephen A. Douglas, long a
prominent democratic figure in con-
gress in the ante-bellum times, says
the Washington Post.
Having purchased the weapon, he
made inquiries from Col. James Madi-
son Cults, of this city, a kinsman by
marriage of Mr.. Douglas, who recog-
nized the Derringer as one of pair
that Mr.. Douglas owned during the ex-
citing political. events preceding Lin
coins inauguration. 1t seems that a
pair Of these pistols, such as men were
accustomed to wear in those days,
one in each Of two small top pockets
in the trousers, was presented to Mr..
Douglas by the superintendent Of the
Harper's Ferry arsenal. These were
subsequently taken to Louisiana,
where 1t was discovered that the
springs were fashioned SO that the
hammer would not explode the per-
cussion cap. This defect in mechanism
was corrected.
In just what manner the pistol was
secured from the possession Of Mr..
Douglas is not known. Col. Cutts has
the mate to II, which the great demo-
crat presented to him.
