Washington, May % The follJWiDg
are the conclusions of the majority
and minority member, Of the select
House committee, appointed a few
weeks ago II investigats the price of
print paper:
GAS the present price OF paper would
not, to any considerable degree, be inn
medistely affected by the repeal of the
tariff, and as the passage of the Stevens
bill In Its present form might spell
ruin TO the pepper industry and ruin
ously high prices for paper In the near
future, your committee believes it the
part of wisdom before making recon-
mendations for positive legislation to
swat until its investigation has been
complet ID (oext SESSION. and thoroughly
digested.
1--WE fad that the revenues derived
from import duties on pulp and printing
paper are so small, aud the benefits t.
be ottained from the abolition of those
duties are so considerable, that We urge
the placing OF pulp aud printing psptr
on the free list. We believe that relief
from existing conditions can be fully
and promptly secured only by the con-
slider ton and passage Of the Stevens
BILL"
Chairman Mann (tepn., Ills.) laid
the report of the committee before the
House today.
"The evidence before the COMMITTEES 30
far fails t. prove any combinations of
print-paptr manufacturer to advance
prices or otherwise in restraint OF trade,
say the republicans.
"Evidence of concert of action on the
pert OF the paper makers In obtaining
hightr prices srs furnished by repor g
from many newspapers located 10 every
part of the count y, though actual yio-
lot on OF the criminal statutes has not
been shown" say the democrats.
Minority Leader Williams objected -
the reading OF the report, when Mr..
Mann submit ed it, because Mr.. Sims.
leader OF the minority members Of the
committee, was not on the floor. While
waiting for Mr. Sims t come, the dsmc-
craIs secured copies fer personal ptrd-
ssl.
Whea Mr.. Mann asked consent, for
the second time, II havethe report read,
Mr.. Sims wantld to kaow If he intfnded
t, follow the reading with motion ID
adopt the report.
Mr.. Mann replied there would be time
to answer that later.
81 object to the reading" exclaimed
Mr.. Hitchcock who hiss been leading
the fight In the House for the removal
OF the tariff.
II thought you would after You had
read the report" retorted Mr. Mann.
For the time being the report was
kept out of the records of the House.
Mr.. Mann lat dropped the report
into the basket for such documents. The
plan of the republicans, now, is to let
the report slumOer there for the rett Of
the session.

Why Colds Are Dangerous.

Because you have contracted orti
nary colds and recovered from them
without treatment of any kind, do not
for a moment imagine hat colds are
not dangerous. Everyone knows that
pneumonia and chronic catarrh have
their origin in a common cold. Con
sumption is not caused by cold but
the cold prepares the system for the
reception and development of the
germs that would not otherwise have
found Judgment. 1t is the same with
all infectious diseases. Diphtheria
scarlet fever. measles and whooping
cough are much more likely to be con
tracted when the child has cold
You will see from this that more rea
danger turks in cold than in any
other of the common ailments. The
easiest and quickest way to cure {
cold is to take Chambeclain's Cough
Remedy. The many remarkable cure:
effected by this preparation have made
| it staple article of trade over a large
part of the world. For sale by al

suit of a weeks work by DR.. Andreen

two places. DR.. Andreen wrote that
the work will now be continued in Al

Preparations are now being made
to celebrate Reformation day at the
