U. S. SENATOR'S PRIVILEGES.
COMMITTEES Made to Give Majority
Members Chairmanships and Per.
quisites.

The United States senate is an
accommodating body-to its ma
jority members. Every member
of the majority must have char
manship, in order that he may
have a committee clerk at good,
5round salary, and a messenger also
drawing literally from the public
purse. Sometimes the number of
the majority is greater than the
number of committees provided
for. In such cases a new comm
mittee is created. It is not neces-
sary for the new committee to ever
meet, in fact it is not expected to
meet; it will have no business to
transact if it should meet, but the
room assigned to it makes good
1oa6ng place for senators when
they grow tired of their duties and
want to rest and swap jokes. 1t IS
always supposed that a new mem
Der brings with him a supply of
fresh stories, and the older senators
must catch on to them, SO, as a
rule, the room of the new COM
mittee is very popular for awhile.
THE last to be placed at the head
of one of these extemporized COM
1ittees is Senator Dupont of De-
Saware. OF course his committee
had to have a name, and it was
baptized Committee on Ventila-
tion and Acoustics. D 1t must
not be supposed that it is to have
any undertaking privileges be-
cause it has to do with ventilation,
and as all the senators are mild
spoken men, accoutics will not cut
much of figure with them. But,
then, what difference does it make
what name is given to it, so the
room is provided and the clerk
and messenger draw their pay?

ALL WRONG.
The Mistake is Made by Many Browns
vile Citizens.

Don't mistake the cause Of
backache.
To be cured you must know the
cause.
1t is wrong to imagine relief is
cure.
Backache is kidney ache.
You must cure the kidneys.
A Brownsville resident tells you
how this can be done.
A Sergeant retired U. S.
A, living on Fifteenth St.,
Brownsville, Texas. says: For
several years past I had trouble
with my kidneys. It took the form
of excessive and too frequent pas
sages of the kidney secretions. 1
often had to get up four or FIVE
times during the night to urinate.
1 tried different remedies, but
found no relief from any of them
until I got Doan's Kidney Pills
from J. L. Putegnat & Bro. S
drug store. Before I had taken one
box of this medicine the action of
the kidneys had become quite
normal and regular. From this
experience 1 believe that Doan's
Kidney Pills will cure any body
afflicted with kidney troubles.

When the AcetyIene
Flame Begins-tO Flicker.

When the flame of an acetylene
lamp begins to flicker, showing
the presence of wet gas, the
strainer should be examined to see
whether it is clean and dry, and if
not, renewed. Failing this, it is
possible frequently to insert piece
of blotting paper between the
carbide and the metallic disk which
rests upon it, thus drying the gas
as it leaves the base of the con-
tainer. In generators which are
fed from above to the top of the
carbide, this method is, of course,
out of the question Bicycling

Plans to Protect Rivers Banks.

Eighteen thousand acres of farm lands
per year are washed down stream each
year by the Missouri and the Missis-
sippi rivers This amounts to the area
of a small county. or 50 miles square
of fertile land. Many farms have been
taken entire and thousands have been
ravaged to the value of a quarter mil
lion dollars each year
This is the estimate made to Chicago
members of the national rivers and
harbors congress, which for more than
d year has been urging that the i'm
pTovement of the navigable rivers had
become too important to be banded in
politics. The government engineers
have recommended plans which not
only would protect the river banks,
but make the rivers navigable avenues
for transportation at costs one-siXth the
rates charged by railroads. The ero-
sion causes the obstructing sand and
mud banks which interfere with steam

Macon, MISS.
Dear Sir: Our agent ought to sell
nine-tenths of the paint of his town and
region; no use to try for the other
tenth. The proportion Of men, who
won't take good advice, and use the
leas gallons paint, is about one in ten
among even owners of houses and stores
and shops and barns and fences.
One man in ten will buy gold brick
or green goods, if he has money and
gets a good chance.
Devoe at $l.75 gallon is better than
gold; aduterated and short-measure
paints; are green goods and gold bricks.
Deyoe saves half, more or less, of the
labor and wages of painting; it is all
paint; full strength and full measure.
There is no other such paint within ten
per cent. Ten per cent of labor and
paint is worth saving; and ten is the
least. There are scores of paints that
throw-away half of both gallons and
labor on whiting, china-clay, ground
stone, barytes, benzine, water all they
are good for is to make gallons of
nothing and look like paint in the can;
more gallons to buy and more gallons
to pay for putting on-gold bricks and
green goods, Here's how they work.

There is a movement on foot here
says Jackson, Miss, dispatch to have
the trustees of the State University at
their meeting on the 3rd of June tender
the chancellorship to Chief Justice
Whitfield of the supreme court. The
salary having been increased to SIS, 900
per annum. house rent free, the posi-
ton is one to be coveted by an over
worked justice, and it is probable
Judge Whitfield would accept. He is a
graduate of the institution, has been on
the supreme bench IA years and the
chancellorship would doubtless be a
good place for him to spend the balance
of his DAYS.
