The Meeting of Congress.

The Goth Congress met Monday at noon
and Speaker Cannon was reelected. The
Democrats nominated John Sharp Williams
of Mississippi, which constitutes him the
leader of the minority In the drawing of
seats Representative Allen of Maine got Il
seat in the fourth row near the center of the
Republican side. Representatives tiurleigh,
Littletield and Powers were not so lucky.
Their desks are near the back of the house
ON the west side. MIR. Bryan was at the
capitol, and on the floor of the House when
it was called to order, and had a good re-
ception. There was a flood of new bills.
Representative Burleigh introduced bills
providing for a new public building at
Watervlle, Me-, to cost 100000 and an ad-
dltion to the federal building at Belfast,
Me-, at Il cost of $4,000. President Roose-
velt's message was sent to Congress Tues

greater elasticity in currency, does not ap-
prove of revising the tariff now, says the
antitrust law should not be repealed but
amended, and suggests the need of law

dent takes no back tracks, and the message
is written in his usual excellent literary

PORTLAND REDEEMED.
Adam r. Leighton Elected Mayor With
1890 Plurality. The Republicans Also
Carry Six of the Nine Wards.

Adam r. Leighton Elected Mayor With
1880 Plurality. The Republicans Also
Garry Six of the Nine Wards.
PORTLAND, Me-, Dec. 2. The Repubi-
cans had landslide in the municipal cleo
tiOn today, electlng mayor, six of the nine
aldermen and 20 of the 27 cOuncilnen. They
carried everything excepting Wards two,
three and four and elected two couucilmen
in Ward three.
Adam z. Leighton was elected mayor by
plurality of about 1890, defeating Mayor
Nathan Clifford, who was nominated for a
third term by the Democrats. The latter's
plurality last year over Frank Milliken was
1888. The unofficial return for mayor today
was: Leighton 1896; Clifford 47O5
The aldermen elected were as follows ::
George B. Boutwell,, Richard j. buddy
(Dem), Thomas F. Bishop (Deml, Daniel
l.. Bowen (Dem), John G. Small, Frank d.
Clifford E. McGlaufln.
The election brought to close one of the
most closely contested campaigns for years,
the Republicans bending every effort to
gain possession of municipal Offices which
were lost year ago, when the Democrats
not only reelected their mayor but obtained
safe working majority in the city govern
ment.
Interest was not confined to this city, but
was manifested throughout the State. The
city government naturally is strongly Re-
publican, the overthrowing of the Republi-
can administration last year being charged
to desire for change of city officials
The vote for mayor was unusually heavy
and about 10 per cent greater than a year
ago when it was 9625

WATCH YOUR TONGUE.
If Furred and Coated, it is Warning of
Trouble to Come

When it is the morning after the night be-
fore, you do not have to look at your tongue
to know that the stomach is upset, the head
is aching with dull rhythm, and that all
the world looks black and dreary.
1t may have been lobster Newburgh,
Welsh rarebit or some other tasty dish that
looked much better at night than the morn
ing after. There is no need to look at the
tongue thermometer then for symptoms of
trouble. You naturally go to your box of
Mi-O-na stomach tablets, and with one. of
the little relievers bring joy and gladness
to the physical system.
The real time to watch the tongue is all
of the time. If it is coated with white fur,
or possibly with dark trimmings, even
though the stomach does not tell you by the
acute pains of indigestion that it needs
help, yet the coating shows that you are
getting into bad way and that there is
need of Mi-o-na.
Mi-o-na is SO positive, so sure, SO reliable
in its curative action upon the stomach
that A. A. Howes & Co., the local agents,
give an absolute guarantee with every 90
cent box they sell to refund the money un-
less the remedy gives absoluse ald COM
plete satisfaction. 2w46

SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE.
What is Causing the Increase of Catarrh
in Belfast?

In spite of the best efforts of medical
men, catarrhal troubles are increasing not
only in Belfast, but all over the country.
Catarrh is "a germ disease, and to cure it
germ life in the breathing organs should be
destroyed, and to do this no other treatment
has such positive and beneficial action as
Ilyomei.
When the mucous membrane is irritated
and raw and the tissues weakened, there is
an ideal lodging place for catarrhal germs.
Breath Hyomei and see how quickly it
sootheS the membranes, viiaiizes heiissueo
and destroys all the disease germs, render
ing catarrh no longer possible
There is no dangerous stomach drugging
when llyomei is used no tablets or liquid
mixtures destroying digestion.
Breathed through the neat pocket inhaler
that comes with every llyomei outfit, the
healing balsams penetrate to the most re-
mote air cells of the throat, nose and lungs,
destroying the catarrhal germs so that
quick recovery follows.
A. A. Ilowes & Co. agree to refund the
money to any purchaser of liyomei who
does not find that it does all that is claimed
for it. The complete outfit costs but S1.00,
