ABOUT SAME MAJORITY
With Thirty-slx Districts to Be Heard
From Republicans Have Plurality
Of Thirty.fve-Six Senatorships Are
In Doubt, but the Upper Branch Of
Congress Remains About as at
Present.

Washington. Nov. with thirty
ok districts yet to be accounted for
the Republicans have majority of
thirty-five in the next house. There
are six senatorships over which there
is some doubt, one each from Ohio,
Oregon and Indiana, all of which are
now represented by Republicans, and
Colorado, Missouri and Nevada, which
are represented by Democrats. ELM
mating these six the next senate will
stand 50 Republicans and 27 Demo
Gratis, or If the division of the six
should be in the next congress as in
the present, 81 Republicans and 80
Democrats.

quently arise when people. tired with

matrimonial papers. This is what hap
pens in the case of ''The Real Widow
Brown" a clean farcial play bubbling
over with pollity. which will be seen
at the Grand. matinee and night, Sat.
urday. February /. In most plays the
characters are made to bring about sit.
uations which are strained and un.
natural, but in Mr.. A. @. Scammon's
latest for public approval old lines
have been ignored. The real widow
is impersonated by an audacious young
man, while another gay young man
makes UP" and assumes to be an old
deacon who believes he has found
his affinity through the Matrimonial
Times, and with whom he has been
in correspondence. The mistaken
Identities furnish excellent opportun-
tiles for fun and merriment. The sit
uatlons and climaxes are irresistably
funny, and the combined efforts of a
clever company of farceurs to amuse
and create a vast deal of laughter is
crowned with success. The music is
bright and up.to-date. The costumes
artistic, and the singing and dancing
specIalties are uncommonly good.

e Discovery" is not so good for
acute coughs arising from sudden
colds, nor must it be expected to
cure consumption in its advanced
stages-no medicine will do that
but for all the obstinate hang-on,
or chronic coughs, which, if neg
lected, or badly treated, lead up to
consumption, it is the best med
icine that can be taken.
It's an insult to your intelli-
gence for a dealer to endeavor to
palm off upon you some nostrum
of unknoun combos1tton in place of
DR.. Pierce's world-famed medicines
which are OF KNOWN COMPOSITION.
Most dealers recommend Doctor
Pierce's medicines because they
know what they are made of and
that the ingredients employed are
among the most valuable that a
medicine for like purposes can be
made of. The same is true of
leading physicians who do not hes
itate to recommend them, since
they know exactly what they con-
tain and that their ingredients are
the very best known to medical
science for the cure of the several
diseases for which these medicines
are recommended.
With tricky dealers it is DIFF
ferent.
Something else that pays them a
little greater profit will be urged
upon you as ojust as good" or even
better. You can hardly afford to
accept a substitute Of unknosu COM
position and without any particular
record of cures in place of Doctor
Pierce's medicines which are OF
KNOWN COMPOSITION and have a
record of forty years Of cm'es behind
them. You know what you want
and it is the dealers business tog
supply that want. Insist MPo" il.

Not a drop of alcohol enters into
DR.. Pierce's leading medicines. A
much better agent is used both for
extracting and preserving the me-
dicinal principles, viz.-pure triple
refined glycerine of proper strength.
This agent possesses medicinal
properties of its own, being a most
valuable anti-septic and anti-fer-
ment, nutritive and soothing de
mulcent.
Gycerine plays an important
part in DR.. Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discovery in the cure of indi-
geston, dyspepsia and weak stom-
ach, attended by sour risings,
"heartburn," foul breath, coated
tongue, poor appetite, gnawing
feeling in stomach, biliousness and
kindred arrangements of the stom-
ach, liver and bowels.
For all diseases of the mucous
membranes, the "Golden Medical
Discovery /" is specific. Catarrh,
whether of the nasal passages or of
the stomach, bowels or pelvic or
gans is cured by it. In Chronic
Catarrh of the Nasal passages, it is
we'll, while taking the Golden
Medical Discovery" for the neces-
sary constitutional treatment, to
cleanse the passages freely two or
three times a day with DR.. Sage's
Catarrh Remedy. This thorough
course Of treatment generally cures
even in the worst cases.
In coughs and hoarseness caus-
ed by bronchial, throat and lung
affections, except consumption in
its advanced stages, the F." Golden

'The Great plvlde."

Henry Miller at last is to give our
play-goers treat toward which they
have been looking for many months.
The distinguished actor-manager will
present VIM. Vaughn Moody's "The
Great Divide" 1.-THE long awaited
Great American play" as New York
has pronounced 1t. at the Grand Opera
House. Thursday. January 3oth. Until
recently it seemed that this city
would have to forego the pleasure of
seeing THE Great Divide for several
months longer. or until next season.
for the play this year repeated at
Days Theater Its metropolitan tri.
umph of the year previous at the Prin-
cess and could have remained there
the entire season. But when Mr.. Mil
Ter preached the subject of cancelling
the contracts held by the managers in
this and other cities. the latter told
him of an extraordinary demand for
the play and he decided to make a
5SGulll OuuSklOAi lliG 1lCS1i VI AAht<
and select a cast as great as the orig
inal II possible. "The Great Divide"
furnishes a phenomenon almost I'M
ill,own in American theatrical history.
Although pronounced great drama and
fine literature 1t has been record
breaking financial success. The play
proves theory always held by Henry
Miller that art and commerce in the
theater are not only Incompatible, but
that they can and should go hand in
hand. Mr. Moody, "The Great Divide"
author, is Americas foremost younger
roet. His plays, 1.-THE Masque OF
Judgment" and 1.-THE Fire Bringer,"
written in the old Greek mode, have
fixed his place in English literature
for all time to come. His first mod
ern prose drama has given him an
even more prominent position among
contemporary dramatists.

LONDON, Jan. 29.-The flag which

c'-war Chesapeake, the ship of the
gallant Lawrence, will be sold at pub
lie auction in London today. AS the
patriotic emblem is of chief interest
to Americans, 1t is likely that it will

The frigate Chesapeake was cap

the British warshin Shannon and tow

ST. LOUIS. Jan. S9.-The Chinese
plan of paying physicians by the

when the NJ. d. becomes negligent
and allows his patients to become serI-
ously i'll. is advocated by Professor W.
B. Elkins. of the University of Mis-
souri, in an article in a current scien.

in operation in the Chinese empire
for 1000 years and is said to work
remarkably well. Professor Elkins in
Inmates that the proposal would do
away with the temptation for physi-
clans to prolong the Illness of their
patients. and would render, 1t to the
doctors interests to bring about a
speedy recovery and to keep his eli
ents in the best possible health at all
times.
The professor declares that physl-
clans, instead of waiting around for
sick people to experiment upon, would
seriously consider methods of prevent
ing illness which now gets them their
living. Quacks would be put out of
business. The same plan is suggest.

Making Good.

There IS no way OF making lQstino
friends like oMaklng Good" and Doctor
Pierce's medicines well exempliiy this,
and their friends, after more than two
decades OF popularity, are numbered by
the hundreds Of thousands. They have
smade good" and they have not made
drunkards.
A good, honest, sQuare-deal medicine OF
known composition Is DR.. PierCe's Golden
Medical Discovery. 1t still enjoys an inn
mense sale, while most Of the prepara
tions that have come into prominence In
the earlier period of its popularity have
sgone by the board and are never more
heard Of. There must be some reason for
this longtime popularity and that is TO
be found in its superior merits. When
once given fair trial for weak stomach,
or for liver and blood affections its supe-
riOr curative qualities are soon manifest;
hence 1t has survived and grown in pop
ular favor, while scores Of less meritOriOus
articles have suddenly flashed into favor
for brief period and then been as soon
forgotten.
For a torpid liver with its attendant
Indigestion, dyspepsia, headache, per-
haps dizziness, foul breath, nasty coated
tongue, with bitter taste. loss Of appetite,
with distress after eating, nervousness
and debility, nothing is so good as DIR.
