PASSED TWO BILLS,
Senate Now Has but Two Supply
Measures Remaining.

Measures Remaining.
Washington, April 21.-The general
pension appropriation bill, carrying an
appropriation of over $137, OOO, 900, and
the emergency river and farbor appro-
priation bill, which carries $4,000 900,
were passed to-day by the Senate,
leaving only the general deficiency and
the Military Academy bills of the en-
tire list of supply measures still to be
considered by the Senate.
The House bill increasing the size of
homestead entries in Western Nebras-
ka to $40 acres also received favorable
consideration.
While the river and harbor measure
was under consideration Mr.. German
asked Cor an explanation as to why
general bill was not to be passed.
Mr.. Elkins replied that the judgment
of the Committee on Commerce had
been that a general bill could not be
passed, and that the state of the treas
ury and of the public business would
not justify such a measure. There
was a controversy between Mr.. Aid
rich and Mr.. German, the latter charg-
ing the Republicans with a determine
ton to force an early adjournment for
political purposes, and Mr.. Aldrich as
serting that Mr.. German could dis
cuss public questions as long as he
chose.
Mr.. German criticised the Republi-
cans for not passing a general river
and harbor bill. which was due to "a
decree. coming from an all-powerful
source, against the policy, which none
could resist"
Speeches were made on the pension
bill by Messrs. McCumber and Scott,
the former defending the recent pen
sion order, and the latter declaring
that he favored service pension of $25
per month.
The Senate adjourned until to-mor-
row.

Il am pleased to state that after
using different cod liver oil prepara-
lions on the market, find Vinol to be
the best of them all. 1t is palatable
and pleasant to the taste; in fact, the
oily taste of the cod liver oil is disgus-
ed or done away with entirely, and
its strengthening properties are truly
remarka bic.
1T has built up my system, strength
ened my nerves; in fact, it has made
new man of me, enabling me to take
up my work with renewed energy and
vigor, and l heartily indorse Vinol as
the most efficacious and agreeable cod
liver oil preparation on the market
M. A. Cassidy.
Knowing that Knights Pharmacy
Company of this city guarantee this
preparation in the strongest manner
possible, they were called upon for in
formation. Said a member of the
firm: "Vinol we firmly believe is the
worlds greatest preparation of cod
liver Oil, for it contains in a highly
concentrated form every one of the
fifty odd medicinal curative elements
found in cod liver oil, yet is entirely
free from oil or grease.
Vinol is delicious to taste and ac-
ceptable to the weakest stomach. It
contains no drugs or poisonous ingre-
dents, and there is no necessity for
people to load their stomachs with
drugs, nauseating oils or emulsions to
obtain the curative power of cod liver
oil, for it is all contained in Vinol
Vinol is the greatest strength creator
and health restorer known to medicine
to-day. We could quote innumerable
instances where it has fortified and
built up. the system, strengthened the
nerves, cured indigestion. chronic
coughs, colds, bronchitis and incipient
consumption, given strength and vigor
to the aged. replaced weakness with
strength and made the sick we'll.
1T is for this reason that we offer
to give back the money every time if
it fails to give satisfaction" knights
