SHUT SHUT ON The ALDRICH BILL
Senator From Utah Advocate the
Measure
Favored an Emergency Currency but
Was Opposed to Any InfiationS-
Commended Action OF Secretary
COrtelyou-PrOceedin i'm House.

Washington, February 2S.-Tne con-
sideratiOn Of the Indian appropriation
bill and a speech by Senator Reed
SmOOt, of Utah, on the currency bill
consumed nearly the entire time in
the senate today. The Indian bill was
passde.
The present financial trouble" said
Senator Reed SmOOt, of Utah, address
sing the senate on the pending cIr-
renCy bill, lis the result Of breaking
down Of our credit system. Restore
confidenCa and credit and let the
people live within their incomes ana a
reaction = i'll set in as surely as the
sun will rise tomorrow morning"
Mr. Smoot defended the Alditcl
bill, declaring that while he favored
an emergency currency he was oppos-
ed to any imitation.
Continuing, Senator Smoot said:
This has been called depositors'
panic, but it could with more accuracy
be called bankers panic Bankers can
run On a bank more fatally than in
dividual depositors, although il does
not take such a long line of them
to draw out large sums of money.
Bankers saw what was coming and
tried to take care Of themselves"
He commended the action Of the
secretary of the treasury during the
panic. Il believe" he said, he saved a
dollar for the west and south with
every dime with which he fought the
panic in New York"
The plan of the pending bill, he
said, was criticised as a makeshift,
but in his view a makeshift was ex-
actlv what WAS wanted

Official OF ClinchfeId Coal Corpora.
tfOn Interviewed.

An interesting announcement, made
| On the authority Of a prominent Of
fetal, is that Wilmington rather tran
Charleston may be made the tide
water terminal for the Clinchfeld
Coal Corporation. which is closely
connected with the Great South and
Western railroad which is now being
built to open up and develop tremen-
dous coal fields in West Virginia.
The company owns valuable ho-d-
ings both in this city and Charles
ton and the port will be chosen which
known officials OF the corporation
in Charlotte on a. business visit in
about ten days.
1t is stated that there are many
points in favor of Wilmington and it
would be a great stride in the prog
ress of this city to become a coal
exporting center.
Interesting reports concerning the
activities of the Clinchfield Coal
Company are given in a recent issue
OF The Charlotte Chronicle, being bas-
Ell on interviews held with we'll
known officials of the corporations
who were in Charlotte. The Chron-
icle article was in part as follows:
THE announcement relative to the
VI d SpSCldI
agency in Charlotte by the Clinch-
field Coal Corporation of West Virgin
ia, has created unusual interest with
its consequent talk in the city. An
item that will add its effective force
to the statements already made with
referance to the company, with it's
tremendous facilities, lies in the fact
that the president of the corporation
e n+har Mr. T0hn II Win
der, who was formerly so prominent
ly associated with the Seaboard Air
Line Railroad Company. He will be
in Charlotte on a business visit in
bout ten days
"Mr. John G.. Winder. a son of Pres
ident Winder of the Clinchfield Coal
Corporation, is in the city stopping
at the Selwyn Hotel. Mr.. q. S. Nor
ris, territorial general agent, and Mr..
]. M. Roam, general manager Of the
concern, are still here, stopping at the
Selwyn
The offices of the company in the
Trust building are being rapidly fit
ted up and will be entirely ready
for occupancy by tomorrow.
"A representative of the Chronicle
called today On Mr.. Morris in regard
to developments concerning the es-
tablishment of the extensive storage
bins which will in all likelihood be
built in Charlott. Mr.. Morris states
that he cannot say as yet what will
be done definitely.
''Spartansburg S. c., is making ex-
ira efforts to secure the distributing
central office in that city and it re-
remains to be seen and what devel
opments will follow the extreme In
terest the people and manufactures
of the spartan city are evincing.
Mr. Morris was also asked about
statement in the Charleston. S. c.
) fT;, to the effect that the Clinch-
field Coal Corporation had expended
$4,000 toward the establishment of
terminal properties in that city. He
said in regard to such that the ex-
penditure of such an amount was in
contemplation only as yet, sine tn re

During an epidemic of grip Peruna
should be used. The doses recon-
mende5 on the bottle are sufficient.
After the grip has once been acquired,
DR.. Hartman recommends the use Of
Peruna in teaspoonful doses every hour
during the acute stage, after which the
directions on the bottle should be fol-
lowed.
Experience has shown that the people
who use Peruna as a remedy for grip
generally recover sooner and are less
liable to the distressing and long-con-
tinued after-effects OF the grip.
When Peruna has not been used dur
ing the course Of the grip and the patient
finds himself suffering from the after
effects Of this disease, q course Of Peruna
should be resorted to.
Suffered Twelve Years From After
Effects Of La Grippe.
Mr.. Victor Patneaude, 32S Madison
ST., Topeka, Kan, member of Knights
and Ladies of Security, writes:
"Twelve years ago had severe at

-Most Effective MsSsss~ Ever Tried
for La Grippe

is chairman of the Jackson County
Board Of Education.
He is q writer Of occasional verse and
has contributed to o number of leading
papers and maga1ines,-religiou edu-
cctional and secular.
In speaking Of Peruna, Mr.. Madison
says:
"I ain hardly ever without Peruna in
my home. Its the most effective medi-
cine that have ever tried for la grippe.
at also cured my wife of nasal ca
tarrh. Her condition at one time was
such that she could not at night breathe
through her nostrils.
'In consequence, an inflamed condi-
ton of the throat was brought about,
getting worse and worse and yielding
e no remedy until Peruna was tried"
J Healthy Mucous Membranes.
Those who are fortunate enough to
have perfectly healthy mucous mem
branes ordinarily do not catch the grip.
The mucous membranes lining the
nose, throat and lungs, when in a
normal state, are an effectual barrier
against the invasion of grip.
But, if there happens to be the slight
est catarrhal arrangement of the
mucous mem branes, then the victim be-
comes an easier p ey to the grip.
This in part explains why some peo-
pie get the grip, while others do not.
The rational tn ng to do is to keep the
system free from catarrh. In attempt
ing to do this most people have found
Peruna to be invaluable.id

after which it will be almost impossi-
bic to detect the cement from the ma
tural stone.
The whole process can be worked
from ladders, no special scaffolding
being required, and consequently
much inconvenience and expense are
saved. The composition is, moreover.
a preservative, and will retain it's ap-
pearance as long as natural stone. and
probably longer than some varieties
which are employed. Not only in Lon
don, but in nearly all the provincial
towns, many opportunities are pre-
scented to utilize the new preparation.

A Diamond in the Dark,

1t Is said that some diamonds will
shine by their own light when placed
in dark room. Prof. Crookes, Of
London, says that when diamonds are
placed in a vacuum and exposed to a
current of electricity, they shine with
different colored lights. He has seen
them emit bright blue, pale blue, april
cot, red, acknowledgement, pale green
and orange rays. One beautiful green
diamond in his possession, when phos-
phorescing in good vacuum, gave
almost as much light as a candle. The
light was pale green.

Nurses in training have many hard
ships to bear, but perhaps none is
worse than having to appear cheerful
under all conditions. A sense of hui
NOR is perhaps as great an asset as
a nurse can have, for it will help her
over many difficulty.
The daughter of a wealthy man be-
came inbued with the desire to know
how to earn her own living and to
that end she entered one of the large
New York hospitals as a nurse. The
work was to her liking, and, as she
looked on the bright side of every
thing, she was generally in a happy
frame of mind. Her particular pet"
was an old and illiterate sea cap
tain, who was in the surgical ward
with broken arm which would not
Knit. He was a cheerful old fellow,
and his droll remarks gained for him
the good will of everybody. One day
when the nurse had paid him some
little attention, he said with All ap-
preciative smile:

had!"
