The trouble arose over objections being
made to G. +. Beller serving as a Re-
publican judge. Beller. IL Is said. had

There comes a time to both men and
women when sickness and poor health
bring anxiety and trouble hard to bear:
disappointment seems TO follow every
effort OF physicians In our behalf. and
remedies we try have little or no effect
In many such cases serious mistakes are
made In doctoring and not knowing
what the disease is or what makes us
sick. Kind nature warns us by certain
symptoms, which are unmistakable evil
dence OF danger, such as too frequent
desire to urinate. scanty supply. scalding
irritation, pain or dull ache In the back

FIVE OTHERS INJURED IN WRECK IN PENNSYLVANIA RESULTING FROM COLLISION BETWEEN A FREIGHT AND PASSENGER.

Pittsburg, Pa. January 7.-As a result of collision between a passenger train and the rear end of freight train on the Monongahela division of the Pennsylva- mia railroad tonight, at Cochrane sta- tion, seven men are dead, one is dying and five are injured.
 The dead:
 c. E. STROUD, bagga gemaster on pas senger train.
 c. M. BOEHNER, brakeman of pas senger train.
 JOHN STEWART, passenger.
 Four unidentified men.
 The injured: T. J. Cook, conductor pas senger train; nay die. Sam Sulanofski, Peter Kimoski, John Smith, Mike Cho- nick, Mike Gentill.

Senate Has Lively Discussion
 Over New Militia Bill
MALLORY FINDS OBJECTIONS
Florida Senator Leads Fight In Oppo- sition to Section Providing for Re- serve Force of Trained Men.
 House Session Short.

Washington, January 1.-The senate to- day discussed the bill for the reorganiza- tion of the militia and also the statehood bill. Mr Mallory of Florida led the dem ocratic senators in opposition to the sec tion of the militia bill providing for re- serve force of trained men, the contention being that 1t not only infrnged on the rights of the several states, but also in- creased the standing army by 100000 men.
 During the consideration of the state hood bill MT. Beveridge had read num- Der of resolutions adopted at recent convention in Oklahoma favoring single statehood with Indian Territory.
 MT. Mallory criticized the resolutions and said the single statehood bill to which they referred was not before the senate, having been withdrawn and there fore they had acted unintelligently. You have done away with your bill," said he, addressing MT. Beveridge. He said the parties attending the convention which drew up the resolutions had masqueraded as representative convention of the people of Oklahoma, whereas 1t was a convention of the advocates of the Nell son or single statehood bill. Responding, MT. Beveridge declared that the observa- tions of the subcommittee which visited Oklahoma and Indian Territory were that a vast majority of the people fav- ored single statehood.
 MT. Bate of Tennessee had read the resolutions of the five civilized tribes op- posing statehood with Oklahoma.
