 Majestic.

Washington, February 14.-(Special)-- The public buildings and grounds bill re- ported to the house today carries appro- priations for buildings in Alabama cities as heretofore given In The Age-Herald, with the addition that S7000 more is given the Montgomery building. The sundry civil bill, also reported today. carries s5O.OOO for the Tennessee river at Colbert Shoals, Ala, and sl5OOO for work on locks 1. 2 and of the Warror.
 With the report of the sundry civil ap- propriation bill but one regular appropri- ation bill remains to be reported to the house-the general dehclency-which will carry about s3O0OOOOO, and will likely come in next week. The sundry civil bill will probably not be taken up until the rivers and harbors and public buildings bills are disposed of by the house. The former will come up immediately after the passage of the naval bill aoout Thursday.
 Representative Gilett said tonight that the bill he had reported carries about nine million, five hundred thousand dollars. 1t Is understood that the House managers will pass the bill if they can receive as- surance from Vice-P e-President-elect Fair- banks that the Senate buildings commit tee, of which he is cahirman. will not add more than a million and half to it. making 1t stand as passed by the Senate at the eleven million dollar mark. Speak CT Cannon has not yet stated that he would allow the consideration of the bill, but the members of the committee say that If they can receive assurances that the measure will not be increased greater than the figures given above it will be sent to the Senate.
 Senate Shows Resentment.
 Some resentment is shown over on tho Senate side about she habit the House Is getting Into with reference to the Pork bills. They say that 1t is a Ge- clded slur upon the Senate committees which handle the measures. The idea that the Senate must promise not to add more than stipulated amount to a bill is not relished on the north side of the capitol In the case of the rivers and harbors bill the situation is almost as strained, except that Chairman Burton has not announced to what figures he will allow an increase, but at the came time threats are thrown out that should the Senate add materially to the bill it will be killed in conference.
 There will likely be a good deal of fun over the two measures before adjourn ment

 committee on naval affairs, explained the bill saying among other things that the amount carried by it, 1O0,070079 was mod crate, taking into consideration all the circumstances which the committee had before it.
 Anticipating a deficiency at the end of the next fiscal year of from sS0.000,000 to 100000. if all appropriation bills re- ported became law, Mir Lfttleheld Of Maine, inquired of MT. Foss If it was wise or prudent to appropriate ia excess of rev. enues.
 MT. Floss replied that on general prin- ciples that Congress ought to appropriate according to revenues.
 Discusses the Philippines.
 Mir. LittIeheld discussed conditions ex- isting in the Philippines, and said that from financial and commercial point of view they would continue to be yer itable pandoras box" He would, he said, vote to strike out every tariff between the United States and the Philippines. not because he believed in free trade be- tween the United States and any foreign land, but because it Is not foreign lana.
 Speaking of the future he made the statement "altruistic international exper- iment may, In the light Of history, be deemed worth while"
 The Philippine archipelago, he said. planted the United States in the storm center of international controversies and international disturbances, and the Phil ippines. so long as retained, would ne- cessitate large increases in the army and navy.
 Speaking of the South American repub- lies, Mir. Littlefeld expressed apprehen- sion that the United States sooner or later would be policing them The Mon- roe doctrine, he declared did not go so far that the United States must sit upon thee threshold of every South American republic "and keep the door open in order that they may cash their debts or collect their indebtedness of any single power" He did not want the period to come when the republic shall develop into minister plenipotent.ary and en- voy extraordinary for the money changers of Europe, as guaranteeing the inviolabiity of the republics
 The bill was then laid aside and res- olution was adopted calling on the Secre-' tary of the Navy for information as to the reasons for canceling certain con- tract and rejecting certain bid of the Midvaie Steel company and giving tho order to another company.
 The house adjourned until tomorrow at 1 o'clock.

DEAFNESS CAN
 NOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they can not reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deaf ness is caused by an infamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inhamed you have a rum bling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and un- less the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an infiamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
 We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.

Saturday Night Fire.

Saturday night abou. eleven o'clock
an alarm of fire was sounded, and the
department made quick response,
but was unable to get line of hose
to the fire. which was barn belonging
to John Nelson. living on the state
road, almost outside tile city limits.
The nearest hydrant was at the west
corner of b. Anundsen's residence so it
left the department helpless so far as
throwing water was concerned The
hook and ladder company did good
work though, by tearing away other
small buildings and the saving of a
crib of corn. A quantity of hay in the
barn was burned. Mr.. Nelson's horse
and cattle were removed safely.
Owing to the fact that Mr.. Nelson had
not been near the barn since about 6
O'Clock in the evening, and no lights
were used then, the origin of the fire
looks pretty much like incendairism.

Alderman l.. l.. Couse has been a

being called home from council
meeting to find his house filled with
friends. and a happy company it was.
After time of general sociability
the Rev. r.. G.. Hunt in a few words
designed to express the high esteem
with which his faithful work is re-
garded, presented Mr.. Couse with a
Morris rocker as token of good will.
The occasion will long be remem-
bered for its joy and fraternal spirit.

State Dairy Commissioner Makes Find.

The pure food bill which will be
introduced at toe next session or the
legislature is pretty certain to find a
strong reinforcement in the discovery
of State Dairy Commissioners H. r.
Wright if the discoveries which are
said to have been made by that gen.
tleman pan out as stated bv the
Register and Leader which cautions
its readers after this fashion: Be
ware of hamburger steak, mince meat
and oysters. H. r. Wright, state
dairy commissioner, thought that
some he purchased at Des Moines
meat market recently did not taste
like the kind mother used to make.
His wife disclaimed any blame, de-
claring that she had exercised due
care in the cooking and preparation
for the table. Finally he turned
quantities OF the three over to the
state chemist, Professor Kinney, for
examination. Since he received the
reports he has heen censuriDg himself
for having an appetite that craved
such things and the state for not hav-
ing pure foo law, as he discovered
that the hamburger steak consisted of
about one-third crackers, or bread
crumbs, some horse meat and boracic
acid, mince meat containing large
amount of poisonous preservative and
coloring matter and the oysters much
formaldehyde. Unless he finds some,
a sample of which will pass muster,
he declares that his Thanksgiving
feast will he TURKEY and cranberries

and hamburger left ont.

No other newspaper published in
Des Moines or Iowa devotes so much
space to the public and political affairs
of the state as The Register and
Leader, and for that reason every
public spirited citizen should be on
its subscription list. 1t covers the
news of the state house and of
legislative sessions more fully than
other papers, and in addition, gives a
more complete general Iowa news
service. 1t also receives the complete
day and night Associated Press re-.
port: 1t maintains special staff re-
preventative in Washington, and it
publishes the largest Sunday paper
in the state. It's editorial policy is
broad and progressive; it is free from
all entangling alliances, and it owes
no obligation save to the best interests
of the public. The Daily Register

Y Governor Cummins in an address
delivered before the Saloon
League which met in Des Moines re-
Gently, opposed the state marshal
idea of Monlder- Orator Rankin, and
advocated giving power to the COVER
nor to remove from Office county at
torneys and sheriffs who failed to en-
force the prohibitory law. The COVER
nor's idea is not meeting with favor.
1t neither pleases the prohibition
element nor the anti -prohibitionists.
A good many people think the COVER
nor has power enough now, and are
not anxious to add to his burdens.
Besides, what evidence is there that
his excellency would make haste to
avail himself of the opportunities
afforded by these additional responsi.
bilities in case his proposition should
become law? Is there anything in his
past record to warrant such an as
sumption? at,f ~, se. IA
