corner of fairyland- The ballroom, in
which the receiving party stood, was

lesser explosions, the whole town be-

ately flames shot high in the air and

date neighborhood of the disaster.

the magazine partially collapsed and

De Almond bore no mark of the fray.
The encounter was witnessed by more
than 100 members of the house and
by as many more persons in the gal
leries, among them a score of women.
While the battle lasted the excited
spectators in the galleries pressed
against the rails. Men and women
leaned far over, apparently holding
their breath as blow after blow was
struck and returned and the com
batants lunged forward and swayed
back.
The trouble between the two men
arose over the assignment of Demo
cratic members on the standing COM
mittees of the house.

If a cough once gets into your system
it acts on every muscle and fibre Of the
body and makes you ache all over. 1t es-
pecially affects the intestines and makes
you c~onstipated, so in order to get rid of
a cold thoroughly and without delay you
should not take anything that will tend
to constipate. Kennedy's Laxative Cough
Syrup acts up,n the bowels and thereby
drives the cold out of the system. 1t con-

DUE TO BARLEY SHORTAGE
Brewers Forced to Curtail Output of
Beer.

New York, Dec. 23.-New York
faces a beer shortage. The brewers
announced a few weeks ago that be-
ginning Jan 1 the price would be
raised 81 a barrel and now it is an
nounced that the output will be great
ly curtailed and that many men will
be laid off.
The trouble is a shortage Of barley.
The crop this year was more than 49,
100000 bushels short of that Of last
year and the price has almost dou-
bled. 1t is not the price that is worry
ing the brewers so much as it is the
inability to obtain the grain at any
price. Europe's shortage is just as
marked. 1t is stated that a large pro-
portion of the saloons in New York
owned by brewers will be closed.
