for the Missouri river at Camden
Bend, opposite Camden, Ray county,

ments and other permanent struc;

of Columbia government by the sub.
sttution Of a governor in place OF
three commissioners, establishment OF
a municipal department., instead OF
existing bureaus, and creation of a
department to be known as that
of Housing and Labor, is recommend
ed in a special message sent by Presi-
dent to Congress Thursday.
= Representative Carter of Oklahoma
has introduced a bill in the interest Of
fifty-two persons whose names, SO the
bill states, were Inadvertently omitted
from the rolls of the five civilized
tribes, though embraced in a report
of the commissioner to the five tribes
dated November Is, 1907. The bill
provides these persons shall share in
the same manner as other members If
their respective tribes who were en-
rolled in the lands and tribal funds.
Now that both senate and house
have acted upon the presidents mes
sage-at least that portion relating to
the employment of the secret service,
which was regarded as a reflection
upon the membership of the congress
the house members in particular are
wondering what will happen next.
They ask themselves what the presi-
dent may nave to report since ! they
have given him the opportunity to tell
anything he may have accumulated
through secret service channels or
otherwise that would reflect upon
their public records.
Bills were passed by the hOuSe
Wednesday authorizing the construc-
ton of a bridge across the Mississippi
river at or near ST. Paul, Mimi, and
extending for three years the time
for the construction of a bridge across
the Mississippi at st. Louis.
The senate Wednesday unanimously
adopted a searching resolution for an
investigation by the committee on ap-
preparations of that part of the pres
ident's annual message rejecting upon
the action of congress in connection
with the recent secret service law. A
special house committee is already
considering what action shall be taken
in that body. The senate resolution
provides also for an investigation OF
the secret service bureau and of the
means the administration has used in
securing evidence against and appre-
hending violators of federal statutes.
The house defeated, by SO to 103,
the Garrett amendment to- the penal
code bill, penaliZing the transmission
by mail of any advertisement or in
formation having reference to deal
ings in futures where the delivery OF
the article bought can not be made.

NUZZLING OF FF DOGS
HELD INADYISABLE
Commissioners mcfarland
Says Stray Dogs Still
Would Escape.

Advising the people or the District
not 10 grow hysterical, and reminding
them that rabies is rare disease,
Commissioner mcfarland, speaking for
tie Commissioners, today explained
why it was not deemed expedieut, 10y
them to adept the suggestion made by
the experts Of The Bureau Of Animal
Industry 10 muZzle all dogs.
The position Of the Commissioners Is
outlined by Mr.. mcfarland as follow, s..
The muzzling experiment showed
first, that comparatively few dogs were
muzzled, and that they were the
licensed dogs OF well-to-do people; sec
ond, that the great majority were lot
muzzled, and that they were .he same
in general as the unlicensed dogs which
we are now putting painlessIy -
death.
Already over 1000 dogs have been
thus removed since January 1875. The
commissioners have directed that to eX-
Dedlte this work another extra pound
"agOn shall DO put on. The neWspa-
pefs can perform an important duty at
TINS time by advising people not 20 get
hysterical, and II minding them that
rabies IS a very rare disease, and that
most or the so-called mad dogs are not
e1ad 1t all"
It is admitted by the Government e,-
perIS that the disease fortunately IS
Tarer than Othec diseases, but this IS
attributed more 10 the Pasteur treatment
tnan 70 the absence OF infection Sew
eral dogs afflicted with rabies are ex-
amined each week at the Bureau OF
Animal Industry, more than a score
having been under the observation OF
bureau experts since the warm weather
set in.
DIT Mohler. the bureaus expert. in
sists that the muzzling was not given a
Tair trial before, and that the success
OF this method I'm. driving rabies en-
urely out OF Holland. Sweden and
Great Britain speaks for itself

Deal Gently with
the BoweIs-DOn't be Harsh

Some people say, "Cascarets are too
gentle. need strong physic. +"
The trouble is this: They have taken
harsh physic until their bowels are
calloused.
Nature has caused the bowel Innings
to harden-to resist the attacks of
harsh pills.
And the bowels fail in their natural
functions while that hardness exists.
In such cases, take Cascarets oftener-
one tablet night and morning.
Cascarets won't irritate. They are as
gentle and natural as laxative food.
Soon the bowel lining grows soft again.
and begins to resume its functions
