On a voyage to this country young

Herr Bebel Scores Won
Bulow and the Latter
Denounces the Socialists

BERLIN. March 16.-Chancellor Won
Bulow and Herr Bebel. the Socialist
leader, engaged in a bitter discussion
in the Reichstag to-day over Ger
many's Russian policy. The Chancel-
lor's usual composure and good humor
in debate were disturbed by the al
most savage criticism of the Socialist
chief, who said that Germany's creep
ing before Russia had humiliated her
in the eyes OF the world and had
brought her to shame.
Herr Bebel laughed scornfully at the
Chancellor's assertion that the Social
lists wanted war with Russia Were
an insurrection to break OUT In Rus
sian-Poland Won Bulow would doubt
less send note to St Petersburg Of
fering German troops to help in sup
pressing it,
The Socialist chief was twice called
to order by the President of the House.
Herr BebeI read a letter of Prince
Bismark to his wife, in which he
spoke of the "charlatanry and pom
posity of diplomacy
Herr Bebel said IL was all very well
for the Chancellor to say that the sale
Of merchant ships to beIligerents was
no breach of International law, but
what Of the ten German ships among
the forty-fve transports with the
squadron commanded by Admiral Ro-
jestvensky?
Chancellor Won Bulow, after talking
mildly regarding Alsace-Lorraine and
affairs of Prussian Poland, exclaimed:
Ach. Love Heaven. This Bismarck letter,
1 know It well. Bismarck was busy with di-
plomacy at the time Re wrote It. Yes II be-
longs 70 those many beautiful letters he wrote
II he had rot been a great statesman what
great author he would have been.
Msin Gott, have been in diplomacy thirty
years. ard unbiased enough to know that
what Bismarck said was quite true
Turning to the German merchant
ships In the Russian service, the Chan
cellor said:
According to the emphatic assurances Of the
transport ships must not accompany the Rue
sian squadron They may only supply coal in
certain neutral harbors
The Chancellor reaffirmed that the
Socialist party was seeking to embroiI
Germany and Russia, as it had done
everything possible to embroil Great
Britain and Russia by poisoning pub
lie opinion regarding the North Sea in
cident.
Won Bulow spoke at some length on
the danger OF the Socialists undermin-
ing institutions, and said he was con-
WINGED that the civilized world some
day would unite in destructive war
against socialism.

ADVERTISEMENTS.
Sick
Headache

When your head aches, there
is a storm in the nervous sys-
TEN, centering in the brain.
This irritation produces pain
in the head, and the turbulent
nerve current sent to the stom-
ach causes nausea, vomiting.
This is sick headache, and
is dangerous, as frequent and
prolonged attacks weaken the
brain, resulting in loss of
memory, inflammation, cpl
lepsy, fits, dizziness, etc.
Allay this stormy, irritated,
aching condition by taking
DR.. Miles Anti-Pain Pills.
They stop the pam by sooth-
ing, strengthening and reliev-
ing the tension upon the nerves
NOT by paralyzing them, as
do most headache remedies.
DR.. Miles Anti-Pain Pills do
not contain opium, morphine,
cllloral,cocaine or similar drugs.
sick headache Is hereditary in my
family. NY father suffered a great
deal, and for many years / have had
spells that were so severe that I was
unable to attend to my business affairs
for a day or so at a time. During a
very severe attack OF headache, took
Dr.. Niles Anti-Pain Pills and they
relieved me almost Immediately. Since
then I take them when / feel the spell
coming on and il stops ii at once"

PRISONERS TOO WELL FED

altogether too desirable a winter re-
sort and that as result of its attrac-
riveness TO the vagabond and criminal
c-sss il is altogether too expensive to
the county an1 too profitable to the
Sheriff. The jury demands that pro-
VISION be made for compelling the
prisoners 10 work on roads or streets;
objects 10 their being supplied with
cards and tobacco, and opines that
they are fed better than a good many
persons who pay taxes to maintain the
jail on SO pleasant a basis. The Grand

ton the Herald can get there was no
frost, and nothing has been killed. The
cool weather is not doing the growing
crops any good, however. An ex-

the probability of frost says if the gar

fallen is sprinkled with hose thor
oughly before the sun comes up on it
no damage will result from the frost.
He says he has tried it repeatedly, and
knows it will work.
