A Spring Tonic.

Almost every body needs tonic in the
spring. Something to brace the nerves,
invigorate the brain, and cleanse the
blood. That Peruna will do this is be-
yond all question.
We have on file thousands OF letters
which testify to the curative and pre-
ventive value of Peruna in cases of
nervous depression and run down con-
ditions of the system. We quote a
typical case:

That the County Salary
Bill Will Fall Between
the Two Rouses-Gov-
Pattison Firm Against
The Fee System.
A Bill to Promote Pub
licitY in capitalization
Of Railroads.&c. Stop
Child Labor = New
Bills in Legislature.

Columbus, o., Feb. 23-Despite the
fact that the house passed the Wilson
salary bill and the senate the Berry
salary bill, lobbyists for the County
Officers association are cheerful in
the belief that the two bills will not
agree in terms.
The lobbyists believe they see in
this a chance for a long wrangle, to
end, they hope, in the passage of a
law containing some unconstitutional
feature. Then, after the adjourn
ment of the legislature, they could
rush into court, have the law quashed
and go on reveling in fees.
The fight will now be for delay.
The aim will be to postpone final con-
sideration to one Of the last days OF
the session, when. bills are passed in
punches without much scrutiny.
PATTISON IS FIRM.
| The danger is that the Legislators
may be fooled into passing a law that
will be unconstitutional. 1t is init
mated that if a bill is passed which,
after adjournment is found to be un-
constitutional, Gov. Pattison will per-
emptorily order the Legislature back
to Columbus in special session and
keep it here until they enact a legal
| bill.
Meanwhile the pro-fee lobbyists
will redouble their efforts. Dozens
of them were in the senate and
house while the battle was on Wed
nesday. County Clerk Salen and
County Auditor-elect Madigan, OF
CuyahOga county, alternated between
the two branches. Members of the
lCuyahoga delegation were continually
running to them for advice.
A movement for a conference be
tween the house and senate on the
county salary bills was started. Rep
jresentative Thomas, OF Trumbull
county, who was a member of the
subcommittee on fees and salaries
which prepared the house bill, held a
conference with Senator Berry and
both were of the opinion that a con
ference should be held and the differ
ences adjusted.

IS CERTAIN
OF STRIKE
President John Mitchell
Says Work in Coal
Fields Will Stop
April !.

New York. Feb. 23.--John Mitchell,
president of the United Mine Workers
of America, stated today that it was
his positive belief that there would
be strike in the bituminous coal
fields April 1. AS to the situation in
the anthracite region ne said that
every effort was being made to pre-
vent a clash between the operators
and miners.
Mitchell was asked what he thought
of the report that he was being USED
as a catspaw by operators who de-
sired strike so that they could
work off 10000 tons of surplus that
they have on hand but refused to dis
cuss the question.
That the operators are anxious to
avoid a strike is shown by the fact
that Mr. Mitchell was closeted at the
Waldorf this afternoon with Harry A.
Taylor, the Indianapolis operator and
John Cavanaugh, dock agent for the
Chicago, Minneapolis and st. Paul
railroad, at Chicago.

IN COLD STORAGE.

NETT Tompkins, attorney for the Pull

mittee on railroads, in protesting
against the Huffman bill to limit the
price for sleeping car accommoda-
tions in Ohio to 81 for berth. "A
sleeping car is simply a hotel on
wheels, and you might as well try to
dictate to the hotels in Columbus how
much they shall charge for a bed"
The committee agreed to put the
bill in cold storage. Senator Huffman
objects to the treatment of the bin
and intends to fight for the measure.

SENSATIONAL CLIMAX

Washington, Feb. ga sensation
al climax to the prolonged struggle IN
congress for railroad rate legislation
was reached this afternoon.
The senate committee on interstate
commerce, by a vote of to after an
acrimonious session of three hours
voted to favorably report to the senate
and without amendment, the Hepburn
BILL which has already passed the
house.
But the customarily binding effect Of
such a recommendation was entirely
eliminated by the adoption under
protest of an amendment to the reso-
luton permitting any senator of the
committee to present or vote for any
amendment he might choose when the
measure was taken up in the senate
for consideration.
TILLMAN REPORTS 1T.
AS a rebuke to Mr.. Dolliver, of
Iowa, and Mr.. Clapp, of Minnesota,
who have been fighting hard for such
action, and all its binding effect, Mr..
Tillman (South Carolina) the rank
ing Democrat members of the commit
| tee, was given the honor of reporting
the measure.
This carries with it the additional
! honor of taking charge of the measure
when it comes up in the senate.
Thus will be presented the strange
spectacle of the bitter personal enc
my of President Roosevelt defending
| from aggressive assaults of a strong
| opposition the measure desired by the
president in the very form his friends
| have been insisting upon for months.
Further than this Mr.. Tiliman, VINO
under the ordinary practice would be
| expected to resist amendments, fav-
ors and will urge the adoption of one
prohibiting railroads from owning or
engaging in the operation of commodi-
ties carried by them.
AS Mr. Dolliver left the committee
room he said:
"The selection of Mr.. Tillman to re-
port this bill, which my motion
| brought about, is the eliminating act
of malice"
Mr.. Aldrich smiling, said: 1T was
deemed eminently fitting and proper
that the presidents best friend should
report the bill he favored"
Chairman Elkins said: II wanted
Mr. Dolliver selected but the majority
thought that inasmuch as the, bill had
been ordered reported largely by
| Democratic votes, it would be cour-
tesy to the minority to have one OF
their number report it"
FIGHT IN THE OPEN.
Crystallized into a few words, the
opinion of leaders is that the irrecOn-
ciliable division in Republican COM
mittee has hurled the administration
railroad rate fight into open session,
with the prestige bestowed upon the
! Democratic minority of having fore
ed the hands of the anti-administra-
tion forces and of having sown the
seed of such party discord as may i'm
peril the measure itself.
The Hepburn bill empowers the in
| terstate commerce commission Ito fix
just and reasonable rate, which must
be fairly remunerative and which
thereafter shall be the maximum rate
to be charged"
1t makes the rate effective within
80 days and continues it two years.
There is no court of review proposed,
the trainers of the measure contending
that the constitutional provision that
no mans properey can be taken
without due process of law is suffi-
cient.

Rumor That Train VIII Be Taken Off

Minerva, Feb. 23.-A well founded
Sumor has it that the Wheeling &
Lake Erie Ry. will withdraw one of
The passenger trains from this end of
the road and hereafter there will be
but one train each way a day. This
will not interfere so much with this
town as it does with the county seat
village, Carrollton, as Minerva has
three roads out of here for Cleveland
and points north while Carrollton has
to rely on the w. & l.. y, exclusively.
1t is said that the new schedule will
bring the south bound train in here at
7:15 p. m. and the north bound one at
5;5O a. In. This will be a good sched-
uie for the benefit Of Canton but a
monstrosity for the traffic south and
for mail service.
