the next congress. 1t has been going
on quietly for some time, but now il
reached the point where the opposi-
ton to John Sharp Williams of Mis-

had received pledges enough to depose
him from the minority leadership and
elevate Champ Clark of Missouri 10
the position. For a time it was conced-
ed that Mr.. Williams would accept the
result of the revolt without protest, but
it has developed that the Mississippian

Mr.. Clark to enter a contest against
him.

Presidential politics incidentally is
involved in the prospective change, al
though both Mr.. Clark and Mr. Will
liams declare themselves staunch Bry-

haps a little stronger Bryan supporter
than the Mississippian.

Armor for Deep-Sea Diving,

A French engineer named De Pluvy has
invented a deep-sea diving armor, having
a thickness varying from 2-1Oths to
3-10ths of an inch. The joints and coup
lings are made of pressed leather and
rubber, and on the top of the armor is
fixed a helmet The air is not brought to
the diver from above, as usual, but is
sent by tube into a special regenerating
chamber, containing certain chemical pro-
ducts, which renew the supply of oxy-
gen. The air is then sent to the interior
of the helmet by another tube. This APP
paratus is contained in pair of chambers
attached to each side of the helmet and
valves keep the pressure at the right
amount, ne matter what the depth of
the diver. The diver communicates with
the surface by a telephone and wires
connected with colored lamps show how
the different parts are working De
Pluvy, with this apparatus, has reached
depths varying from $50 to 800 feet.
which is far below the limit of the ordi-
nary diver

MIX This at Home,

The following simple homemade
mixture is said to readily relieve and
overcome any form or Rheumatism by
forcing the Kidneys to filter from the
blood and system all the uric acid and
poisonous waste matter, relieving at
once such symptoms as backache, weak
kidneys and bladder and blood dis
eases.
Try it, as it doesn't cost much to
make, and is said to be absolutely
harmless to the stomach.
Get the following harmless ingredi-
ents from any good pharmacy: Fluid
Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce
Compound Kargon, one ounce; Com
pound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces.
Mix by shaking we'll in a bottle, and
take a teaspoonful after each meal and
again at bedtime
This simple mixture is said to give
prompt relief. and there are very few
cases of Rheumatism and Kidney trou-
bles it will fail to cure permanently.
These are all harmless, every day
drugs, and your druggist should keep
them in the prescription department; if
not have him order for you, rather
than fail to use this, if you are af-
flicted

STILL MORE PROOF
That Dr.. Williams Pink Pills Have
Cured Even the Most Stubborn
CaSnr ~


When l was a boy Of sixteen" says
Nr. Otto H Rose, a retired grocer, of
1226 Lexington Avenue, Indianapolis,
Ind, I met with a serious accident
which injured the bone of my head
over the right eye. recovered from
the accident to all appearances, but
not many years after l began to have
intense pains in the injured bone,
which came on every year and would
last from few days to several weeks.
i consulted the doctors who told
me that | was suffering from neural
gia. The sight of my right eye was
affected, SO that at times l could
scarcely see out of it, while both eyes
watered constantly. During these at
tacks l was often dizzy from the ter
rible pains. The pains came on every
morning and passed away in the after
noon. l never suffered from the pain
at night.
Il tried without success to get re-
lief until friend told me to try DR.
Williams Pink Pills. When | had
taken a few boxes | felt the pain
growing less intense and in much
shorter time than | had hoped for |
was entirely cured. | have recon-
mended the pills to several persons,
who have used them with good results.

Saved from HANGING Inv Dream

The story of a strange dream comes
from ST. Louis. In that city a wife
charged with the murder of her hus-
band is saved and the real murderer
discovered through a dream she had
concerning the event. Her name was
Mary Thornton and she had been in
Jail a month, when she requested one
of the jailers to let her see the judge.
This being done she told him that she
dreamed that man named George Ray
murdered her husband. Full details
of how the murder occurred were given
by her to the astonished judge, who
was so impressed by the woman's earn
estness that he caused a search to be
Immediately made for Ray. The man
was found and, the judge, charging
him with the murder, recited the de-
tails of the occurrence as the woman
had given them. Ray was thunder
struck 1t was as if some one watch
ing him commit the crime had reported
the matter in every detail He con-
fessed to everything and the woman
Immediately was released.

OF Interest IN Women

Every woman naturally should be
healthy and strong, but a great many
women, unfortunately, are not, owing to
the unnatural condition of the lives we
lead. Headache, backache and a general
tired condition are prevalent amongst the
women of to-day. and to relieve these con-
ditions women rush to the druggists for
bottle of some preparation supposed to be
particularly for them, and containing
nobody knows what. If they would just
get a box of Brandreth's Pills, and take
them regularly every night for time, all
their trouble would disappear, as these
pills regulate the organs of the feminine
system. The same dose has the same
effect, no matter how long they are used.
Brandreth's Pills have been in use for
over a century and are sold in every drug
and medicine store, plain or sugar-coated.

CANADA's GOOD TIMES.
The IMMIGRATION During 1905 Wa


100000.
While il is well to heed every word
of caution from the leaders in COM
merce and finance, and TO avoid all
speculative ventures that lack a solid
business foundation, it is clearly evil
dent that there is no conspicuous weak
spot in Canada's present era of pros
perity. The Toronto Globe says: The
Dominion has in a commercial sense
plenty of money, and our leading finan-
cial institutions are in a position to
lend freely in the United States The
chief productive enterprises of Canada
are not buoyed up by an era of danger
Gus speculation. but are following sub
Stantial business methods and finding
safe and continuous markets for their
goods. We are not bolstering up any
industries by extensive export bonuses
that must impoverish the people as a
whole and ultimately lead to collapse
through the failure of the artificial aid.
There is no extreme protection in Can
ada such as would create great for
tunes for few at the expense of the
general public and lead to disruption
and catastrophe
THE prosperity of Canada has no
such artificial foundation, being based
on healthy and substantial expansion
Of trade and industry, with a proper
tiOnate extension of productive settle
ment to new areas
1T is true that we are borrowing
but every line will bring new territory
within the limits of profitable occupa-
tion and will create prosperous settle
ments TO bear the burdens and repay
the OUTLAWS. We are not exhausting
mineral resources, for it is quite rea-
sonable to assume that, although min
eral wealth is never permanent, ours
will during the measurable future de-
velop far greater productive capac-
ity than at present. Our timber wealth
can be made continuous by a judicious
policy. And agriculture the real foun-
dation of our prosperity, is expanding
with every new expenditure on railway
construction. We are not in the flush
of a railway mania that could bring
its punishment through the useless du-
plication of lines. The gigantic rail
way enterprises that now stimulate ev-
cry line of business in Canada will
create a new Dominion, and thus rem
der easy the heavy burdens of debt
now freely assumed. Canada'S era of
prosperity has been unprecedented, but
there is no sign of weakness and no
cause for lack of confidence. While
our growth is normal and healthy, we
need have no alarm at its rapidity."
This article might have told of thu
growth that is taking place in Central
Canada, where thousands of Ameri-
cans have made their homes during the
past few years. The past calendar year
has given to Canada by immigration
an addition to its population of 216,000.
OF this the United States contributed
1871. The agents of the Canadian
government, whose advertisement ap-
pears elsewhere, say that this number
will be largely increased during 1907.

Ringing in the Ears.

Ringing" in the ears is a most pc
culiar condition. 1t is interesting to
learn that, though the brain so dis
tinctly receives an impression of sound,
there is really no sound at ALL The
sensation is produced by arrangement
of the nerves of the ear, caused by
poor circulation or such pressure and
interference as come from hardened,
excessive wax, boils, etc. Some one
oddly remarked that when the ears
were ringing they were insane Truly,
they carry wrong impressions to the
brain. They record things that do not
haDpen.

Against FiuuJify i'm ReJiy;on

President Eliot of Harvard speaking
to a meeting of Congregational ministers
at Boston, opposed everything that stands
for fnality in religion. He said there
was an irresistible tendency toward the
belief that truth cannot be fixed If in
all the range of philosophy and science no
one believes that the end has been reach
ed, why should the theologian imagine he
has reached the end of theology?
