KNOX TANCLE AGAIN
COMES UP IN HOUSE
Tawney Resolution Adopted by
Vote Of 1872 to I25.

Washington, Feb. 19.-When the
house met Mr.. Dalzell, from the COM
mittee on rules, reported back the
joint resolution presented by Mr.. Taw-
ney, which authorizes the conferees
on the legislative, executive and ju-
dicial appropriation bill to treat the
provision making an appropriation of
$4,000 for the salary Of the secretary
of state during the next fiscal year as
if the two houses had disagreed on it.
There was an effort to Immediately
order the previous question, but this
was met by an objection from the
Democrats. A roll call was ordered
and resulted 1877 yeas and 107 nays.
Consequently the previous question
was ordered. s
After debate the resolution was
adopted, 1872 to 1925, and now goes to
the senate for concurrence.
If it is adopted the conferees will
take up the salary question as if there
had been disagreement of the two
houses. The houses conferees are
Bingham (Pa.), Gillett (Mass.) and
Livingston (Ga.). -.

MAY BE ENTERING WEDGE
Hopkins Supporter Breaks Away From
Primary Candidate.

Primary Candidate.
Springfield, ILL.,, Feb. 19.-For the
first time in many days excitement
was injected into the deadlock on the
vote for United States senator in the
general assembly by Representative
John L. Flannigen of East ST. Louis,
who, in explaining his vote, which he
shifted from Hopkins to Shurtleff, de-
clared it his belief that no man now in
the race could be elected.
The action Of Flannigen was regard
ed as indicative of coming shift by
the other Southern Illinois men and
may be the entering wedge which
will result in dark horse capturing
the toga.
After the close of the session legis-
lators commented on the announce
ment Of Mr.. Flannigen and recalled
that he had nominated Senator Hop
kins on the floor of the house. The
opposition to Senator Hopkins was
quick to assert that the shift of Elan.
! nfgen could be regarded as a with.
drawal Of the candidacy of the man
whom he had nominated. The Hop.
kins men were apparently undisturbed
by the desertion and were firm as
ever in their declaration Of ultimate
victory.

alarmed that the injuries received

fatal he Joined the Reformed church
He was suspended from the church
two years later because of excessive
drinking and gambling.

CHlLDREN'S COLDS
and THEIR RESULTS
COLDS NOT so HARMLESS AS
MANY PRESUME.
Some Of the Most Serious Dis
eases Have Their Origin in
a Common Gold.

Children are particularly susceptible to
colds and often serious diseases of after
life have their foundation in early colds.
A child catches cold but unless it is very
severe no attention is given the matter. 1t
has had colds before and always recovered
and it is not until the little one alarms the
household in the dead of night and scares
it's mother into Mysteries by having Group,
that serious consequences are feared.
Another child catches cold and before it
fully RECEIVERS takes another cold and per-
haps before that is over contracts a fresh
one. This succession of colds or even the
neglect of the first attack causes Inflammation
of the mucous membrane, which was at first
acute, to become chronic and the doctor will
from which he will never fully recover.
Another child catches cold, which could
easily have been cured by proper treatment,
but being neglected develops the most fatal
malady of childhood, pneumonia. The doc
tor is called and pronounces it lung fever,
and if the child is lucky enough to live it has
developed weak lungs, making it susceptible
to all lung diseases.
Still another child catches cold, stubborn
cough is developed which lasts all winter
sapping the vitality and weakening the sys,
tenn, thereby paving the way for the germs
of other diseases. Diphtheria, whoopine
cough, scarlet fever and similar diseases
could often be avoided if each cold received
proper attention.
Every one of these children could have
been cured by the prompt use of Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy. A few doses and the
child's cold is gone. 1t is certain cure fo1
Group and has never been known to fail.
! When given as soon as the croupy cough
| appears, it will prevent the attack. It also
counteracts any tendency of cold to result
in pneumonia, quickly dispelling all fear o
| that dangerous disease.
! Don twait until the child is sick and the1
send to the drug store for this remedy bu
keep it on hand ready for instant use whe1
needed. It is perfectly harmless and'shoult
be kept in every home where there are young
children. s--s-...
