PRESIDENT READY
FOR SENATE FIGHT
CONTINUED FROM FIRST PAGE.

mined Senator CuIbersogs proposed
substitute has met with the approval Of
many OF his colleagues. and may be de-
eided on as the better plan.
But no matter whether the blackburn
resolution stands or is Withdrawn to make
way for another more comprehensive, the
Democrats are determined to force the
Senate TO approve or repudiate Mr..
Roosevelts course with regard TO the
battalion of the Twenty-ffth Infantry.
Some of them said yesterday that the
CulbeTsOn resolution had been submitted
to Senator Knox. who was Attorney Cen
eral In Mr. R0osevelt's Cabinet, and that
he had declared il was more acceptable
to the Presidents Republican friends
than the less explicit Blackburn declara-
ton This indicates that Mr.. Knox stands
with Mr.. Lodge and against the other
Republican leaders.
The President apparently believes that
enough Republican Senators will join the
Democrats 20 insure the adoption of the
Endorsement amendment. Notwithstand-
ing this the opinion Is stilI general that
the amendment viii be laid on the table
unless a change OF plan is agreed to at
the Republican conference to-day, or at
other conferences to be held before action
is taken.
As the Senate now stands, il is con-
coded that Senators Tillman, Teller, and
Clark, of Montana. will not support the
Blackburn amendment. Sixteen RepUbli-
can votes will be required for a majority,
if no other Democrats desert the party.
Friends Of the administration say that the
following Republicans will surely vote
with the Democrats, If the agreement
already referred to is not reached by the
majority:
Warner, Beverage, Piles, CullOm, Hop
kins, Warren, La Toilette. Burkett, Mil
lard, Carter Clark, Of Wyoming, Lodge.

The Town Council passed an Or
dinance last week prohibiting the
shooting of fireworks within the
corporate limits, I'd take effect iu
stan'ly. This ordinance is a good
one, eveb if it will deprive the
children of one of their greatest
jrys and make the holidays LOOK
dull and monotonous; the idea of
Christmas aud New Years without
the beautiful fireworks and the
noisy crackers, topedos etc, is
enough to make the little ones
thiuk that the holidays will have
no more attractions. But there is
one serious fault with this ordi-
nance, it was passed too late. il
should have been euacted several
months ago, before our merchants
invested large amounts of mopey
in big stocks of goods which will
prove a dead loss to them. The
idea of presenting al ordinance al
one session and passing upon II
! fiually at the next is good one
to prevent city fathers from rush
ing bills without giving serious
and mature deliberations.

When an eminent authority announced
in the Scranton pa Times that he had
found new way to treat that dread
American disease. Rheumatism. with
just common. everyday drugs found in
any drug store. the physicians were slow
indeed to attach much Importance to his
claims. This was only few months ago.
Today nearly every newspaper in the
country. even the metropolitan dailies,
is announcing it and the splendid results
achieved. 1t is so simple that any one
can prepare it at home at small cost. It
is made up as follows: Get from any
good prescription pharmacy Fluid Ex-
tract Dandelion. one-half ounce; Com
pound Kargon one ounce; Compound
Syrup Sarsaparilla. three ounces. Mix
by shaking in bottle and take in tea
spoonful doses after each meal and at bed
time. These are all simple ingredients,
making an absolutely harmless home
remedy at little cost.
Rheumatism. as every one knows. is
symptom of deranged kidneys. It is
a condition produced by the failure OF
the kidneys to properly filter or strain
from the blood the uric acid and Other
matter which. if not eradicated. either IL
the urine or through the skin pores. re
mains in the blood, decomposes and
forms about the joints and muscles caus
ing the untold suffering and detormity o.
of Rheumatism.
This prescription is said to be splen
did healing. cleansing and invigoratlns
tonic to the kidneys. and gives almos
immediate relief in all forms of blade,
and urinary troubles and backache. HI
also warns people in leading Me-. l Z u
paper against * discriminate use o
, many patent medicines.
