Washington, May 15-The Vreeland
currency bill, agreed upon by the Re-
publican caucus, was yesterday put
through the house under a special
rule by vote of 1874 to 148. Fifteen
so-called insurgents of the minority
party voted with the Democrats, who
went on record solidly against the
measure
The closing moments of the debate
were replete with excitement and Re-
publican enthusiasm caused by the re-
fusal of the great majority of the Dem
ocrats to go on record for the Will
liams bill, which had been offered by
Mr.. Kahn of California as substitute
for the Vreeland bill, in accordance
with a we'll laid plan of the majority
leaders to ascertain where the Demo
Gratis stood on the proposition which,
it was claimed by several, was sup
ported by Mr.. Bryan. Ninety-three
Democrats voted present" which
aroused the Republicans to a high
state of hilarity at the expense OF the
minority. Only a handful of Demo
Gratis had the temerity to vote faye"
or mo" The action of Mr.. Kahn was
due to the refusal of Mr.. Williams to
present his bill and substitute, which
under the rule he was specifically au.
thorized to do.
The great sundry civil appropria-
ton bill, carrying a total of about
100000, was passed by the SEN
ate yesterday. This is the last Of the

Washburn Farmer Strenuously OBJ

Arnt Hanson was acquitted of the
charge of assault with intent to kill
and murder at the term of the circuit
court at Washburn. Hanson, it was
claimed, held up party of about fifty
citizens of Washburn last fall as they
were going to Cornucopia over a new
road that had been built by the county
board. Hanson thought that the road
was built on his property and it was
for this reason that he objected to
travel over it. Together with his son
and another man he guarded the road
with shotguns and rifles, and when
the party arrived at the place they
were ordered not to attempt to travel
over the road. After some squabbling
the party of citizens proceeded on
their way, and it is claimed that Han
son opened fire into the crowd with
load of fine shot. They claimed he re-
loaded and again leveled the gun, tell
ing the others of his party to do the
same.

MEETINGS FOR WoRKINGMEN
Feature of the Great Religious Gath
erinE Being Held i'm
Philadelphia,

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 7.-Meetings for
workingmen, students and young men OF
the various social organizations in the
churches held here yesterday under the
direction OF the Federal Council of the
Churches of Christ in America.
More than 1000 union men attended the
workingmen'B meeting. which was pre-
sided over by Dennis Hayes, fifth vice
president of the American Federation of
Labor.
Mr.. Hayes, in discussing 1.-The Church
and Home Industry" said the meeting
marked an epoch in the history of the
church and organized labor. The resolution
on labor adopted by the federal council,
the speaker said, was such as to make
him almost conclude 1t emanated from
some labor committee. Had laboring men
been told a year ago that such a resolution
had been adopted by a committee Of min
listers, the speaker said, he doubted
whether they would have believed It. He
declared the church was waking up to
the needs OF the laboring men, who in
turn should show their appreciation by
needing the church's influence in their or
CARNATIONS, he added that the majority
of trade unionists were church members.
Rev. Charles Stelzle. superintendent OF
the department OF church and labor Of the
Presbyterian church, said the first move
ment for world reform was toward religi-
GUS democracy; the next toward political
democracy and the present movement to-
ward industrial democracy.
Some day." he said, war will cease,
but 1t will not be because of peace con-
ferences. but when organized workmen de-
clare they will no longer shoot down fell
low workers in order to satisfy the avarice
OF their rulers"
He declared that fifty years from now
people will look back and laugh at the
things advocated in behalf of labor at the
last convention OF the American Fedora
ton OF Labor. 1t Is not the duty OF the
church, he said. to adopt an economic sys-
tenn. but TO uplift the Individual. because
there must be the ideal man before there
can be the ideal system. The adoption OF
the resolution on labor by the federation
council. he added. did not mean that the
church had suddenly been converted to the
cause of labor, but meant rather that II
was the first time the church. as a body,
had an opportunity to express itself or
these matters,

Feat Performed BY Guides Impossible For
New Workers. Says Cooper.

The headquarters of L. T. Cooper, the
young man who claims that the stomachs
OF many Americans are degenerate, has
presented a scene OF unusual activity
for the past few days.
Cooper with his assistants Is meeting
the public at present in New York. The
success he has had In other cities seems
to have followed hin here, for an aston
ishing number Of people are calling to
have this theory and medicines explained
to them.
Thursday afternoon when interviewed.
Cooper said: II am often asked II nv
medicine is good for kidney trouble. or
liver complaint, or rheumatism, or a
dozen other diseases too numerous to
mention. These are hard questions to
answer. Frankly, my treatment is for
the stomach. and for the stomach alone,
but II the function OF digestion Is being
properly performed very few people can
be sick.
THE stomach is the seat OF life. The
entire system depends upon its action.
Why are there so many half sick people
today3 1t is because the stomach of a
man or woman who leads a shut-up life
day after day, taking little or no exer-
else in the fresh air cannot digest the
amount OF food that is forced upon It..
II gradually grows weaker under the 80
circumstances. and nervousness, kidney
trouble, rheumatism, etc, is the result.
Il am successful with my treatment
because the medicine cleans out the food
tracts that have become clogged, gets
the digestive organs regulated and gives
nature a chance Give nature a chance,
that's the secret OF health
