Senate Holds Key.

There is a belief that if the house
passes the Professionalism bill and
it goes to the senate. the senate will
raise the license fee to $1,000 in both
cities and towns. At least, there is talk
of this kind. 1t is known hat there
are in the senate several members who
are opposed to a repeal of the county
local option law unless high license is
substituted. and it is believed that they
will insist on a higher figure than is
named in the bill before they will be
willing to give it their support. And
if the senate increases the license fee
and sends the bill back to the house
thus amended it is almost certain that
the house will agree to the amend
ment. In fact. 1t could not 10 much
else but agree. for unless the repealers
agree to what the senate demands there
cannot be any legislation. and the
county option law will remain on the
books. And it is certain that the re-
peaIers will do almost anything to
wipe off that law. So it may be seen
that the senate really holds the key to
the whole situation. II need not be al

of this was dashed over the already
smoking wood and coal. The flames
managed in some way to reach the in

Explosion was Bad on.

So severe was the explosion of the
oil gas that every seam of the vessel
was broken and the can hurled deep
into the plaster and lathing of the
Davidson home. Had there been more
oil in it, there is no question that Mrs.
Peltz would have met with still more
terrible injuries.
In going through the house small
pieces of the burning clothing fell to
the carpets and it was with difficulty
that Mr.. Davidson succeeded in saving
his home.

were a mass of blisters yesterday and
Mrs. Peltz is said to have suffered in

Pains

My mother IS a great suf-
ferer from rheumatism, and DR..
Miles Anti-Pain Pills is the only
remedy that relieves her."
MRS. G. DAVENPORT,
Roycefeld, n. J.
The pains of rheumatism are
almost invariably relieved with
DR.. Miles Anti Pain Pills. They
also overcome hat nervous irri-
tation which prevents sleep be-
cause they soothe the nerves. To
chronic suffers they are invalu-
able. When taken as directed,
they relieve the distress and
save the weakening influence of
pain, which SO frequently pros
trates. Many sufferers use them
whenever occasion requires with
the greatest satisfaction, why
not you? They do not derange
the stomach nor create a habit.
Why not try them? Get a pack
age from your druggist. Take it
according to directions, and il
it does not benefit he will return
your money.
