DEBATE ON SALARY BILL

The bill of Representative Keel to place the offices of Jackson county on a salary passed the senate Monday afternoon by vote of 21 to 8.
 Senator Mardis secured the unan- imous consent of that body to call up the measure.
 Senator Hardy said he did not op- pose local bill, and had the greatest respect for MT. Keel of the house, the author of the bill, but that there was one provision of the bill that he ob- jected to, and he thought that it was a bad precedent. The provision re- ferred to was allowing the county to advertise and loan out the money of the county, to be loaned out to the one bidding the highest rate of in- terest.
 Senator Hinkle said he had been looking over the bill, and he agreed with Senator Hardy. He moved that the bill be put back on second reading for the purpose of amendment, which was seconded by Senator Matlock, but voted down and the bill passed.

possibly derive from them. Halls

Cheney & Co., Toledo, 0, contains
no mercury, and is taken internally

mucous surfaces of the system. In

A Good Man to Have Around.

The cheerful, hopeful, business,
energetic man is the one who brings
smiles instead of tears. He never
stops work for weather. If it is ht t
he says the weather is good enough
for him and much better than he
could make. If it is cold he rejoices
in the fact that nature rises frost and
ice and snow to rejuvenate the world
He is always thankful when be rises
in the morning and finds any sort Of
weather, and he goes forth to his
work with melody in his heart, if not
expressed. He never sulks when
things go wrong on the farm or in
the home. BE has word of praise
for the hired boy, or the cook. He
pats his neighbor's children on the
head and they feel that he is their
friend and playmate. Such a man
.is worth a dozen of the sour grum-
blers who see no good in anything.

got temporary relief, butt came back
again and again, and for six long
years I have suffered more misery
and, agony than I can tell. It was
worse than death. My husband spent
hundreds of dollars for physicians
prescriptions and treatment without
avail. Finally We moved to Bosque
county, our present home, and one
day I happened to see an ADVERTISE
ment of Chsmberlsin's Collie, Cholera
and Diarrbea Remedy with testi-
monial of a man who had been cured
by it. The case was 30 similar to
my own that I concluded to try the
remedy. The result was wonderful.
I could hardly realize that I was we'll
again, or believe it could be after hav-
ing suffered so long, but that one
bottle of medicine, costing but a few
cents, cured me-" For sale by The

The Santa Fe Railroad probably will
issue an order placing an embargo
against the Burlington. Missouri

the food brought about conditions

the railroads take speedy action tore
lieve the congested situation here, a
serious blockade will result.
