NERVOUS HEADACHES
Or. Williams Pink Pills Will Cure
Most Cases and Should Interest
Every Sufferer.

Nobody who has not endured the
suffering caused by nervous head
ache can realize the awful agony Of
its victims. Worst of all, the ordin-
airy treatment cannot be relied upon
to cure nor even to give relief. Some
doctors will say that If a person is
subject to these headaches there Is
nothing that can be done to prevent
their recurrence.
Nervous headaches, as well as neu-
ralgia, are caused by lack of nutrition
the nerves are starved. The only
way to feed the nerves is through the.
blood and it Is in this way that DR..
Williams Pink Pills have accom-
plished so many remarkable cures.

Street, Auburn, Me-, says: For

"RecalI" Bill introduced.

Assemblyman Weber of the social
democratic delegation introduced what
is known as the county option bill for
the pensioning of the blind. 1t close

man Aldridge introduced the recall bill,

after the California law, some of the
provisions of which have been sus-
tanned by the supreme court of that
state. The bill provides that when 20
per cent of the qualified electors of
any city, town, or village desire to un-
seat an official they can sign petit
ton for the purpose and election must
be called by the proper authorities.

SPEAKS ON RIVER
AND HARBOR BILL
Declares Sand Bars and Bends in the
Missouri Makes Navigation of
Stream ImpossibIe-Wouid Limit
Appropriation.


Washington, Feb. Represents
tive Hepburn of Iowa, speaking on the
river and harbor bill, addressed the
house Saturday on the project cham
pioned by the Missouri and Illinois
members for a deep waterway from
Chicago to the gulf. He made reply
to Mr.. Clark of Missouri, who, he said,
wanted to build a waterway 4,OOO
miles in extent between granite walls
200 feet high He had seen the Mis-
sissippi river when it was i've miles
in extent, with a volume of water that
would defy the puny efforts of man
to hold it. He characterized the
scheme as "Utopian and chimerical,' =
and declared that when the proposed
waterway from ST. Louis to Cairo
should be completed it would have a
velocity of from 20 to % miles an
hour. THAT would be admirable for
downstream navigation" he said,
"but how would vessels get up?
when you take out the sand bars
and the sinuosities from river you
increase it's current enormously, max
ing it practically impossible for navi-
CATION" he declared.
Of the Missouri river, Mr.. Hepburn
said that the sand bars and the bends
in that stream had made it absolutely
impossible of navigation and to his
personal knowledge not one steam
boat had passed up that river in 10
years.
I'VE have spent on the improve
ment of the waterways of the United
States $24O,000,G0O, and of this amount
14O,000.000 had been spent on the
Mississippi" he added.
His criticism of the bill extended to
a general discussion of the project
for the improvement of the Ohio river,
in which he charged that he had read
somewhere that the gentleman from
Pittsburg (Mr. DalzelD had said that
the people Of Pittsburg wanted $780,
100000 to complete the project. Mr..
Dalzell interrupted to say that "The
gentleman from Pittsburg' had made
no such statement, and said that he
had not asked either for $30,000,000.
100000 or 100000.
.Then / assume that you don't
want it," replied Mr.. Hepburn, but
that the other fellows from Pittsburg

Mr.. Hepburn said that the steam
boat as means of transportation was
a thing of the past, and it was his
belief that a double-track railroad
would have a cheaper carrying ca
pacity per mile than the Hennepin
canal
Mr. Hepburn's attack on the river
and harbor bill was followed closely
by the house, there being little at
tempt to interrupt.
Mr.. Hepburn gave notice of an
amendment he intended to offer to
limit the expenditure of the appro-
priation for the Missouri river to the
protection e its banks and channels,
not for the improvement of the navi-
cation of the stream.
Mr.. Keller of Ohio opposed the bill
and gave notice of an amendment pro-
viding that before appropriations are
made for river and harbor project
the president shall appoint board
of three army engineers to pass upon
the necessity of the proposed improve
ment and its lasting benefit to the

Rate Calendar Is Issued.


The railroad commission of Wiscon-

which it will call for hearing at its
next sitting on February 5. The most
important are three brought by the
board of trade of Superior against
three of the larger railroads. One
against the Great Northern alleges
that the road makes an unreasonable
charge for switching cars of grain
from its terminals at Superior to the
Lake Superior Terminal and Transfer
railroad, that it discriminates in it's
charges on grain and other merchan-
disc and that it discriminates in favor
of A. D. Thompson by leasing an ele-
vator to him at a nominal rent. The
second complaint charges the North
ern Pacific with making discrimina-
tory rates on grain and other merchan-
disc, and not furnishing reasonable
facilities for unloading grain at SUI
perior. The third complaint charges
the Omaha company with making dis
criminatory rates.

For Taxation of Credits.

The first bill for the taxation of
credits to make its appearance this
session will be presented this week
by Senator w. c. Owen, of the Pierce
and ST. Croix county district. Senator
Owen has been giving considerable
attention to matters of taxation and
believes that the present law exempt
! ing mortgages should be repealed. The
bill as prepared imposes penalty in
| the way of denying the right to main
tain an action for foreclosure.
In addition to this mortgage taxa
ton bill Senator Owen is planning a
measure which, if it passes, will, I'M
der the~claims of it's author, go far to-
ward securing uniform valuation
upon all real estate in any county.
The plan is to authorize county as
sessment every five years, to be made
by men duly qualified and appointed
under the direction of county super
visors of assessment. The assessment
| thus made is to stand as the basis of
real estate values, and, it is asserted
by Senator Owen, will do away with
IuS ldCh VI uullOIlllly uOW lOllOWluS
the efforts of the local boards of re-
view, as well as the efforts of the
county board committee on equaliza-
| ton. The assessment in each taxa
| ton district is to be made by an as
sistant supervisor of assessments,
who does not reside in the district,
but in some other portion of the coun-
| ty, so local influence will not be pres
ent in arriving at valuations.
| 1t is claimed that the plan is en-
tirely new, and, should Senator Ow-
ems bill pass, uniformity of valua-
tons will be secured throughout each
county upon real estate. The assess
ment of personal property is to be left
in the hands of the local assessors,
who also list the real estate, using
the valuation fixed by the county as.
SCISSORS as the basis.

Work for Claims Committee.


Sympathy is going out to the joint
committee on claims, which is con.
fronted with difficult task this year
to adjust the appropriation bills to
the prospective revenues of the state
for the next two year period. Esti-
mates are given to show that the rev.
enues Of the state for the next
two years will fall approximate
ly 100000 annually short of
the revenues for the two year peri
cd inclusive of 1905-'07 During that
period the state benefited by the ex-
traordinary revenues, derived from
sources that can not be again counted
upon to fill the treasury. In these re-
ceipts were $725, 9S1.SS from the gem
eral government as the war tax re-
fund, the deferred tax of the railroad
companies and the fees for the in
crease of the capital stock of the two
large railways of the state. This loss
in extraordinary revenue necessitates
readjustment, if state tax
is to be avoided. and this by some OF
the members is considered i'm
possible.
