 Senator Stewart asked him: How much coal have you received from the Reading. and what have you done with it?"
 Mir. Johnson declined to answer that question. He would not say that he would refuse to answer 1t tomorrow. how ever.
 'we will give you until tomorrow to think it over." said Senator Stewart.

 Split Up.

Denver, Col. Jan. 12-Some say that the split iTfS the Republican party will result in MT. Teller's return to the Senate, and should the contested seats in the House be given to the Democrats, there is little doubt that Teller will be chosen, as he was endorsed by the Democratic State Convention. and by nearly all the County conventions. However. former Governor Alva Adams of Pueblo. looms up as a possibility.
 Senator Hanna and Postmaster General Payne have written to M. A. Stapleton. editor of The Denver Republican deplor- ing the conditions existing in the Legis- lature. and appealing to the Republicans to find remedy.
 Mir. Wolcott and his friends insist that action looking to the unseating of certain Democratic members of the House. be- cause of alleged fraud in the ballot re- turns, be taken before balloting Is begun on the Senatorship. He charges his Re- publican opponents with a deliberate at tempt to delay fin this matter. because of a deal with the Democrats which involved this question. In a statement issued by MT. Wolcott last night. he says:
 Gross frauds. concerning which the evidence is indisputable,~ should lead to the unseating of seventeen fraudulently elected Democrats in the House.

A MILD CASE

Of Contagious Blood Poison never exis. ted. It is always bad, though sometimes no external symptoms of the disease ap. pear for long time.
 Because the disease Is slow in devel. oping does not indicate that the case is O. mild one, for the poisonous virus at work in the blood and system may be spending its force upon some internal vital organ while you are looking for ex- ternal signs. Contagious Blood Poison does not affect all alike. In most cases the irst1ittle sore is quickly followed by painful swellings in the groins, a red eruption upon the body, sores or ulcers In the mouth and throat, unsightly copper colored blotches, loss of hair and eye brows and other symptoms of this niiser- able disease. When the poison is thus fighting its way to the surface, exposing the disease in all it's hideousness, we call 1t a bad case; but Contagious Blood Pol son, whether working internally or exter- nally, is dangerous, treacherous disease. $. s. s. is the only remedy that cures Contagious Blood Poison thoroughly and permanently. It is an antidote for the deadly virus that produces the awful eruptions, sores and ulcers, and destroye the bones. Mercury and Potash dry up the skin eruptions, but in so doing drive the poison further into the system, where it s1umbers for time, but comes back again with redoubled fury.
 S. S. s. is vegetable remedy that has been used successfully for years in treat ing this vilediseaseand
