To be a successful wife, to retain the

THE BILL.
senator Morgan. of Alabama. to Endeavor
to HaveI Its Provisions Considered
Separately.

Washington, Feb. 4.-Statehood leg
islation took a brand new turn when
Senator Morgan, of Alabama, an
aounced his intention of making q mo-
ton at the proper time to the bill so as
to permit of separate consideration Of
the statehood provisions. Senator
Morgan asserted his in.eutis:n to urge
a separate consideration of all that
part of the bill from the first to the
eighteenth sections, inclusive. The
sections referred to include all the ref
erences to Oklahoma and Indian terri
tory and leave for separate considera-
ton the section relating to New Mex.
leo anC Arizona.
If the democrats unite in support
ing this motion it will change the
entire status of the statehood situation.
Oklahoma and Indian territory sepa-
rately considered would receive more
than a three-fourths vote for state
hood. The motion gives the senator's
who are fighting to save Arizona from
absorption another opportunity and
opens up another way for the admis-
sion of Oklahoma and Indian territory,
even though the bill as it now stands,
should be defeated. The senate COM
mittee on territories would be better
satisfied with the adoption of this mo-
ton than of any Of the important
amendments now pending.

Take a handful of putty the size OF
an ordinary fourpound iron weight to
be found in any grocery store. Fash
ion it roughly into a round mass and
you will have approximately the size
of the newly found diamond in South
Africa. Or take two small ~teacups
and hold them together; you will get
a similar result. Such a gem, it was
said by the diamond experts, is too
large for wear. In all probability it
will be cut up into smaller stones.
Even if kept intact it would probably
lose from 40 to 60 per cent. in the
cutting.

The Remedy Tha: Makes New Blood
Banishes Weakness, Headaches, In
digestion and Nervous Troubles.
Hundreds Of women suffer from head
aches, dizziness, restlessness, languor
and timidity. Few realize that their
misery oil comes from the bad state of

their head, another for their stomach,
a third for their nerves, and yet all the
while it is simply their poor blood that
Is the cause Of their discomfort.
IF one sure remedy for making good,
rich blood were used every one of their
distressing ailments would disappear. as
they did in the case of Mrs. Ella F.
Stone, who had been ailing for yearsiand
was completely run down before she re-
allied the nature of her trouble.
"For several years." said Mrs. Stone,
"I suffered from general debility. 1t
began about 1896 with indigestion, ner-
vousness and steady headaches. Up to
1900 I hadn't been able to find any relief
from this condition. I was then very
thin and bloodless. An enthusiastic
friend, who had used DR.. Williams Pink
Pills, urged me to give them a trial and
I finally bought a box.

please without discomfort. Ny nervous
ness is entirely gone, and, while I had
constant headaches before, livery rarely

DR.. Williams Pink Pills to women who

BERRY SPEAKS FOR INDIANS.
Says Desire for
Single Statehood with Oklahoma
Is Not Unanimous.

Washington, Feb. 4.-The senate
yesterday resumed consideration OF
the joint statehood bill. Mr.. Stone
(Mo.) spoke in opposition to the meas
ure, particularly on the provisions re-
lating to Indian territory. Mr.. Berry
followed Stone, saying it was untrue,
as has been asserted in the debate,
that all the people wanted Oklahoma
and Indian territory united as one
state. He insisted the Indian people
in Indian territory were unanimous in
their desire for single statehood. He
thought Oklahoma, New Mexico and
Arizona should be admitted as states
at this time and that for the present
Indian territory should remain a ter
ritOry.

The most successful crops were pears

EAST ST. LOUIS BIG BLAZE
An Ugly Hole Burned in the Bust

an Overheated F~urnace-The
Firemen Suffered.

st. Louis, Feb. 1.-THE fire which
for awhile threatened wholesale de.
structiOn completely destroyed three
handsome business buildings at the
corner of st. Louis and Collinsville
avenue, East St. Louis, Ill.,, yesterday
morning.
The buildings were in the heart of
the business section of the city.
The loss is approximately S17S,600.
The insurance on the burned property
amounts to $125, 00O.
The principal policies carried were:
On the Josephine building, $25, 900;
Walsh building, SIS, 900; DeWolf build
ing, $4,000; Elks' Club, $4,000; Palace
Clothing Co., SIS, 900; Stickler Grocery
Co., $500; Sondag Drug Co., 5 5000;
st. Clair Packing Co., $1,000.
Friday afternoon another alarm was
turned in from the burned district. and
every fire engine company in East st.
Louis was called out. The Walsh
building debris had begun to burn
fiercely again, but after a few minutes
play from hose lines the new blaze
subsidized.
The origin of the fire was evidently
an overheated furnace in the basement
of the Josephine building, where the
loss is the heaviest. The other build
ings destroyed were the Walsh build
ing and the DeWolf building.
Several of the firemen suffered Sc.
vere frost bites while at work.
Mayor Cook, who remained at the
fire while it lasted. suffered similarly.
