WASHINGTON, Feb, lS.-The house
passed the pension bill carrying $685.
5000. The minority, led by Mr..

fort to reduce the aggregate of the APP
preparation so as to exclude pensions
allowed under 'Order No. 49," which,
it was stated, would involve about
81, SOC, 900. 1t was commended that the

in which it came from the committee.

Claims Lands Are Mineral.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S.-George H.
Stanton OF Great Falls, special counsel
for Montana, appeared in argument
today before the interior department
in the case of A. j.. Weight against
the state of Montana. The case in.
wolves the right to school lands in the
Belt district. The state contends that
it gained title to the lands at the date
of admission as a state in 1889 by the
terms of the act of admission. Weight,
for whom Jere Collins appeared, con-
tended that the lands were more valu.
able for mineral than agricultural
purposes, and that his mining loca-
ton should be recognized. The ques-
ton is of considerable interest to the
entire state, a. IA decision will form a
precedent.

INDIANAPOLIS. Feb. 19.-For four
hours tonight, the wholesale district
was menaced by a fire which started
in the Wholesale wareroom, of the

alarms brought into action every de.
partment ia the city and suburbs.
When the fire was b:ought under con-
troll eight buildings. among which
were three hotels, had been completely

at s 1900. 900.

Backed up by over a third of a century
of remarkable and uniform cures, a record
such as no other remedy for the diseases
and weaknesses peculiar to women ever
attained, the proprietors and makers OF
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription now feel
fully warranted in offering to pay $500 in
legal money for any case Of I.eucorrhea.
Female Weakness, Prolapsus, or Falling OF
Womb, which they cannot cure. All they
ask is a fair and reasonable trial OF their
means of cure.
Very often a married oma or young
girl does no know who to turn to for ad.
vice in circumstances where she dislikes to
talk with the family physician about deli
cate matters. Al such times write to Dr..
X. v. Pierce, chief consulting physician to
the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute,
Of Buffalo, N. ", for free consultation and
advice, and the same will be held as sa.
credly confidential. 1t is foolish to consult
women friends or persons without medical
training.
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription con.
tains no alcohol, is entirely vegetable and
was the first exclusively wOman's tonic on
the market-it has sold more largely in
the past third Of a century than any other
medicine for women.
All other compounds intended for women
only are made with alcohol, or alcohol is a
large component-this alcohol Injuries the

compounds, therefore, do harm.

THE COLORADO GovERNNOsHIp.
LEGISLATURE Will Decide Election Contest
After Prolonged Investigation.

DENVER, Feb. 19.-Hearing OF testi-
mony in former Gov. James H. Pea.
body's contest for the office closed this
afternoon. Briefs will be submitted
to the contest committee this week by
both sides. and the committee is re.
quired, under the rules adopted by the
general assembly, to present its re.
port and recommendations on March
l. to the joint committee OF the legis.
lature by which the contest will be
finally settled. Thirty days have been
consumed in hearing evidence 10 the
case, and the expenses of the contest
to be borne by the state will amount
to more than $50, 600.
On the face of the returns as can.
vassed, Governor Adams majority
was 9,774. Mr.. Peabody asked to have
the entire vote of 1O4 Denver precincts
and several precincts outside the city
thrown out in consequence of frauds.
Handwriting experts, testifying for
Peabody, claimed o have found 1927
bogus ballots among those 10 the Den
yer boxes which they examined. Nine.
ty.eight voters have appeared in per-
son before the contest committee and
identified their ballots among those
claimed as bogus by the experts, and
Adams attorneys claim to have
proved that about 1850 such ballots
genuine by the dispositions of the per-
sons to whom they are credited on the
poll books. Should the contest com.
mittee decide. however, to reject the
lO4 Denver precincts Adams attorneys
will endeavor to have similar action
taken as to a number of precincts in
Los Animas and Huerfauo counties,
which were carried by Peabody.
With this end in view they introduced
expert testimony similar to that given
in regard to the Denver ballots.

Novelty I'm Sweet Potatoes.

French horticulture has acclimatized
q new tropical tuber for Europe. The
Paris correspondent Of the Newcastle
England) Chronicle states that it is one
Of the sweet potatoes of western Afri-
ca, of which complete mastery has
been obtained in the experimental gar
dens at Bordeaux. Excellent accounts
are given Of the agricultural value Of
the new tuber, which besides cropping
well can be profitably used in all it's
parts. Even the leaves are said to be
no bad substitute for spinach. AS for
the tubers, besides their high nutritive
qualities as food highly relished by
cattle, they contain II per cent Of sug-
ar, which is higher than that Of beet
root and also alcohol.
