LITTLE POKER AT WASHINGTON.
Stories Of Big Games Must Be Taken
With Allowances.

II was formerly quite the thing to
tell stories about big poker games
among the members OF Congress
Much was said about the Senatorial
game" "millionaires' game" and the
Congressional game" and always we
heard about great punches OF money
changing hands, bluffs as high as the
banks of the Mississippi. and all sorts
of stories.
Frequently the senator, representa-
tive, diplomat or rich man was named
and the winnings or losses told with
as much gusto as If they had really
happened. There were some pleasant
poker games in days gone by, and oc-
casionally some wonderful plays, but
one night, with few interesting Incl
dents, furnished material for month
of stories.
Some of those who figured in the
poker stories became annoyed at the
notoriety they gained and abandoned
poker entirely. For many years now
there has not been enough poker in
the capital to hang a story on.

The senate Must Rccede.

The house has determined not to &C
cent the senate amendments TO the
agricultural bill known as the Hans
brough amendment, which provides
that the drawback clause Of the Dingley
tariff schedule shall not apply to Ca
madam wheat, thus overturning the re-
cent decision of the treasury depart
ment Speaker Cannon has decided that
the senate exceeded its authority. and
said it must cut out the amendment be-
fore the house can act on the bill. He
regards it as an attempt OF the senate
to originate revenue legislation, which
the senate has no power 10 do.

The new Wayne county primary bill
is now law. Gov. Warner signed il aS

was called to a claim that the law is
unconstitutional. to which he replied:

At the New York State Assembly of
Mothers. a prominent New York doctor
told the 500 women present that healthy
American women were SO rare as to be
almost extinct.
This seems to be a sweeping state
ment of the condition of American
women. Yet how many do you know
who are perfectly well and do not have
some trouble arising from a derange-
ment of the female organism which
manifests itself in headaches, back
aches, nervousness, that bearing-down
feeling, painful or irregular menstrual
ton, leucorrhna, displacement of the
uterus, ovarian trouble, indigestion or
sleeplessness There is tried and
true remedy for all these ailments.
Lydia +. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound has restored more American
women to health than all other RENE
dies in the world. 1t regulates,
strengthens and cures diseases of the
female organism as nothing else can.
For thirty years it has been curing
the worst forms of female com
plants.
Such testimony as the following
should be convincing.
Mrs. T. C. Willadsen, of Manning,
Ia, writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
IL can truly say that you have saved my life
and cannot express my gratitude to you i'll
words. For two years spent lots of money
in doctoring without any benefit for men

hopes Of ever being well again, but / was

table Compound and three bottles have re-
stored me to perfect health. Had it not been
for you would have been in my grave

EGGLESTON HELD
TO GRAND JURY
Must Answer for Assault
With Intent to Murder
Salvador Garcia.
RESULT OF SHOOTING SUNDAY

This morning before Justice Of the
Peace Jose Miguel Chaves, OF precinct
10, Old Albuquerque, Claude Eggies-
ton, who was arrested SUNDAY and
lodged in the county Jail charged with
shooting Salvador Garcia during a
fight between two hunting parties in
Bear Canyon early Sunday morning,
was given a preliminary hearing,
Eggleston, who was represented by
Attorney w. b. Childers, waived a pre-
liminary examination and was bound
over to await the action of the March
term OF the grand jury on the charge
of assault with intent to murder. His
bond was placed at 81, 600 which he
failed to give and was remanded to
Jail. Eggieston thinks he will be able
to raise the amount of the bond.
Salvador Garcia, the victim of the
trouble, was represented by Attorney
Felix Baca. Attorney Baca informed
the court that his client was still in
a serious condition, but would proba-
bly, survive his wounds, although the
wound in the arm was of such a ma
ture that it might render it practically
useless.
Weir, Garcia's companion, was re-
leased, as was also Bone, Lucero and
Ed Cramer, other members of the two
hunting parties engaged in the trou-
Bile. Weir was represented by Attor-
ney 0. n. Marion.
