The house has passed a bill reim- bursting the Roman Catholic church for damage done by United States soldiers in the Philippines. the troops having on many occasions been obliged to occupy the churches as the only available place of shel- ter. The total amount of damages has been fixed at sfO3.OOO, which is the amount carried by the bill. It was rather surprising to hear cer- tain democratic members. notably Jones of Virginia and Garrett of Ten nessee. speaking in violent opposi- ton to the bill. MT Jones declared that he was opposed to the United States paying for "vestments and in cense pots" The majority in the house. however. took the ground that 1t did not concern them what the property was which was de stroyed as long as it was vaIued by it's owners. and the bill vas passed by a vote of 1S2 to 3.

ing of asphalt streets for time would so do away with the dust that the necessity for frequent sprlnkling would later become not necessary. This with consistent sprinkling of macadam streets, he thinks, would re- duce the death rate, especially from lung diseases.
 That nonodorous or hard dust is the worst of all for the lungs is shown in the charts issued by the United States government, based on the cen sus of 1900. In this chart, a copy of which I have here, the deaths to each 100000 marble workers and stone cutters is 540.0. Cigarmakers come next with 4799, as the dust from to- bacco catches hard particles. Millers of all kinds show only 207.6 deaths to each 100000. The dust in grain is a starchy dust, and not injurious to the lungs. From the showing of the chart we might prefer to be bankers or brokers, deaths among that class being small.-Milwaukee Sentinel.

 IN HIS FAVOR
Cooper Fought to Retain Formula Which
 Has Made Fortune

Among statements obtained recently from users of this medicine that is arousing such universal discussion is one from Mrs. Emma Stanley, living in Chicago, at 713 Washington Boule- yard, who said: Perhaps I had the most complicated case tLat Mr. Cooper had to deal with. I was troubled for years with my stomach. I consulted with doctors and took many patent medicine preparations without result, My stomach was in such a wretehed shape that I could not enjoy a meal that I ate.
 T was very nervous, and could hardly sleep; I hac a roaring in my ears and dancing spots before my eyes. I felt very bad and weak. Then there was a very sore spot at the pit of my stomach that nearly set me wild
 T heard about the Cooper medicine and decided to try it I used four bot ties, and the improvement in my case has been really wonderful. My nerves have been quieted, and I am so much improved that I feel Eke c new wo- man.

L. T. Cooper. the man who believes that 90 per cent. of all i'll health of this generation is caused by stomach trouble. is fast winning a national faith in his theory. His claim is now admitted by a surprising number of people throughout the country, and he is gaining new adherents every day.
 While speaking of his success in a recent interview, Mir. Cooper said: "I believed ten years ago that any one who could produce formula that would thoroughly regulate the stom- ach would have a fortune. When got hold of this formula I knew with in six months that was right, and that my fortune vas made. called the medicine Cooperis New Discovery, although I did not get up the formula. I have owned 1t, however, for over three years. I have had one lawsuit over it. which won in the courts. When it was settled The Cooper AedI- cine Company became the only firm h the world that can prepare the medi- cine. The preparation has sold like vildfre wherever introduced As have said before, it is successful sim ply because it puts the stomach in perfect shape, then nature does the rest There are any number of com paints never before associated with stomach trouble that the medicine has sIleEiated in thousands of ezsss."

Chairman Wanger of the house committee on expenditures in the postofice department, proposes to investigate that department on the ground that some of the expendi- lures appear to have been made in contravention of law" No doubt he has in mind the payment of the salary and expenses of Assistant Postmaster-General Frank Hitch cock while engaged in influencing southern postmasters to work for Taft's presidential boom. The com mittee on expenditures in the war department would do well to follow Mr Wanger's example and inquire into the payment of Taft's own sal ary and expenses out of the treas ury, while he is engaged in travel ing and speaking in the advance ment of his own boom.

Reports are reaching Washington from all sections of the country to the effect that the democrats are per fecting efficient organizations in every congressional district and are working without friction and in per feet harmony. This means, of course, that the democracy will be in position to put up great fight in November and the news is re- ceived with the utmost qualification by the party leaders in the national capital and with no little concern by the more thoughtful leaders on the other side.

The tariff tax on boots and shoes is 25 per cent, which tax on necessi- ties republican congress refuses to abolish, although Hon w. L. Doug las of Massachusetts, just before he was elected governor, declared that majority of the New England shoe manufacturers were willing to fore go this protection, if congress would give them free hides. Governor Douglas is the largest manufacturer of shoes in the United States, and says the tariff is hindering the ex- port trade of this country.

WORK ON THE CANAL.
Will Take Two Years More to Com.
 plete the Excavations.

Washington, March 10.--"In thirty two months, or at latest, by tue first of January, 1911, the excavation of the Panama canal will have been completed.' rs
 This statement is the salient fea- ture of d report just made to the war department by the engineers of the great water way. It is explain cd that, while the excavation prob ably will be completed by the time named, it will not mean that the canal will be ready for operation by that time. The excavation, however, is the great bulk of the work and that which will remain to do done after the excavation is finished will not con- sume a great amount of time.
 The excavation, since Colonel Goe- tEals, of the Engineer Corps of the army, assumed control of the work, has been progressing more and more rapidly each month. It now aggregates practically 100000 cubic yards a month. The engineers have estimat- ed that 96,000.O00 cubic yards of ma terial remain yet to be eXcavated. On the figures presented is the latest report the estimate of thirty-two months more of excavation is made.
 Just now the part of the waterway which can be dredged is being excav- ated and, in measure, that account for the increase in the flying of the dirt This increase is really remark able. It is pointed out that in the month of December the excavation aggregated S6,000 cubic yards per day: in January 104 ,330 cubic yards per day and in February, 102,745 cubic yards per day, and it is ex- pected that the present month will show an increase over February, al- though perhaps not so great a one as was shown by February over Jan uary.
 Colonel Goethals, the chief engin- ger, who left Washington a few days ago for the isthmus after a period of explanation of the situation to the committees of congress. is conf- dent that the actual work of excava- ton can be completed in two years and a half
 This exceeds by nearly a year the most sanguine expectations that hith- ertO have been entertained. Col onel Goethals believes. also that the canal will bc in actual opera ton in 1913.
 The reports received from Colonel Geothals since he took charge of the work have been a source of intense qualification to the president and the secretary of war. upon whose should CTS has rested the burden of the res possibility for turning the digging of the waterway over to the army engineers.
 IL was anticipated that the rainy season might affect, perhaps serious. ly. the amount of work accomplished on the canal. but it has not, and the indications now are that it will pro- gross from now until it is completed without great obstacles. It may be said that the engineers now do not expect to encounter any serious diff ficulty in carrying their plans to com pletion, as the force which they have assembled on the isthmus is a con- pact. homOgenious. efficient and en- thusiastic organization. The men. the chief engineer to the ordinary laborers, are deeply interested in the work. and under that sort of inspira- lion the dirt will be made to fly as never before.
