party council of which Mr.. Miller was
himself a member.
ION each of the votes relative to the
rules of the house, which followed the
defeat of the old rules, Mr.. Miller voted
with Speaker Cannon and a coalition of
Tammany Democrats to defeat the sub
stantial revision of the house rules, and
to maintain the autocracy of the speaker
as chairman of the committee of rules,
and the dispenser of committee member
ships and favors.
These acts and votes cannot be de-
Tended, consistently with the spirit of our
state platform, desire to reform the
present rules of congress. Nor can it be
said that the necessity for the reform of
the rules of procedure in congress, is less
apparent now, than when the Republicans
of our state declared for it. The contin-
ued usurpation of the constitutional rights
err and the use of the power so assumed
by him to delay and defeat useful legis-
lation demanded by the people, threaten
a destruction of the perfection of our leg
islative system, and a defeat of the wise
purposes. for which the house of repre-
SentativeS was created.

river front at st. Louis presented a
devastated appearance today. The

the gauge rad 26.1 feet.
The boats on the river were left
high and dry by the rapid fall and
the levee was strewn with wreckage.

OVERWORK AND WORRY,
SHATTERED NERVES,
and BROKEN SLEEP
Frustrated This Galveston Man
bur He Improved Rapidly
Under the Proper Treat
ue1f and Was Cured.

There is absolutely no way of reach
ing the nerves with medicine except
through the blood. The nerves receive
all of their nourishment and support
from the blood which, under healthful
conditions, carries the elements needed
to rebuild wasted nerve tissue.
Let the blood become deranged and
deficient in these elements and the nerves
will be badly nourished and headaches,
neuralgia, sciatica, functional paralysis
and q host of other nervous troubles
may result.
There is, therefore, no mystery about
the fact that DIR. Williams Pink Pills
are both blood builder and a nerve
tonic, nothing unrecogDized by science
In the power of these pills to cure severe
nervous disorders as well as diseases of
the blood. DR.. Williams Pink Pills are
. specific for anRmia, or deficiency OF
blood. Hence they are remedy for all
nervous diseases which result from, or
thrive under, ansmic conditions.
Mr.. O. H. Jones, of No. $50 12 Avenue
B, Galveston, Texas, dealer in interior
lands, recommends DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for nervous troubles. He says:
"Some years ago was suffering from
nervous prostration, which was caused
by overwork and lack of outdoor exer-
else. 1t was an effort for me to do any
thing and felt at times as though ]
couldn't live. The nervousness caused
d jerking sensation in my muscles. My
sleep was disturbed and I would fire.

CATTLE SUIT In
SUPERIOR COURT
Klair and HOllingSWOrth Ask
Damages for Injuries to
Cows in Transit
P. B. 6 W. R. R. COMPANY
DEFENDANT In CASE

In Superior Court this morning a
jury was drawn to try the case of
Klair & Hollingsworth VS.. the p, B.
and w. Railroad Company. The plain
tiffs are represented by J. Frank Ball
and Lilburne Chandler, while Ward,
Gray and Neary appear for the de-
fendant company.
This is an action for recovery OF
damages for injuries to 1s9 cattle in
transit between Chicago and Phila-
delphia to points in Maryland. The
allegations include that the cattle
were kept in filthy cars en- route and
owing to being unfastened they gOred
each other and otherwise We're injur-
ed. The cattle were permitted, ac-
cording to the allegation, to be wa
tered and fed in an unhealthful place
and in addition to the delay in reach
ing their destination the cattle were
deprecated in value.
1t was further alleged that the cars
were overcrowded. The shipment of
the cattle took place in October,
1906.
This case was called for trial last
spring, but before the plaintiff had
finished its side some of the jurors
expressed themselves in favor of a
verdict and the jury was discharged
The plaintiffs claimed not only the
loss Sustained on the cattle to Bar
clay and Centreville, Md, which
amounted to S1,056, but also the
freight paid and actual loss as well.
James Stewart, Of Chicago, ILL.,. was
the first witness, and testified he was
a member of the-firm of Holman and
Stewart, cattle buyers. In October,
1906, they shipped two lots of cattle to
Klair and Hollingsworth. On October

CONCRESSDOWN

Central Bank Legislation
Among That Which May
be Considered
MUCH OPPOSITION
TO ALDRICH'S PLAN

Washington Bureau, United Press As
sociations.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-Congress
resumed to-day the labor of saving
the country. Three months Will be
spent in passing a few more of the
SO 900 bills introduced i'm the two pre-
ceding sessions. There will be much
maneuvering for party advantage and
several presidential booms will be ad-
yanced, as occasion permits. As the
session will mark the loss of control
of the House by Republicans, the lat
ter are expected to crowd through
bills in which they have special inter-
est and to be energetic in efforts to
get liberal appropriations for home
projects.
Two new questions that will test the
fighting qualities OF the legislators
concern the establishment of a Cen
tral Bank and the apporiionment of
the country's population among rep
resentatives i'm Congress.
Senator Aldrich, (Rep., r. ~ chair
man OF the National Montoary Com
mission, composed Of members and eX-
members OF Congress, is the leader
in Central Bank movement. He holds
that the supreme remedy for the cure
OF the ills of the country's currency
system is Central Bank, such as is at
the head OF the financial world in Eng
land and I'm France. A bank of that
kind in the United States would con-
troll the issue of currency and have
other important powers
I'm official circles here and in the
Wall street district the report is per-
sistent that Aldrich will try 10 drive
a bill embodying his idea through the
present Congress. He is credited with
the opinion that, with Republicans IN
control. the present congress offers a
chance, perhaps only a desperate one
for the passage of the bill. With tht

to hold special services for Mrs. Eddy,
as II was more in harmony with Mrs.
Eddy's wish that the utmost sim
plicity should be observed, and more
in harmony with Christian Science
teachings to dwell on the thought Of
eternal life and not upon the incident
of death. They said Mrs. Eddy had
always insisted that her followers
should not be led by personality, hers
or anyone's else, but should look di-
rectly to God, and she rebuked those
of her followers, who magnified her
personality.
Mr.. John said that the government
of the Christian Science Church had
been formed by their leaders wis
dom, 80 that IL would not depend on
one person as a head. He said the
organization was very democratic and
simple. Each church elects its own
officers and makes it's own bylaws,
by ballot, all the members voting
equally, though of course each church
conforms to the teachings Of the
church, and is also goverened by rul-
ings made by the board OF directors
of the Mother Church. The first and
second readers are elected, and may
not serve but one term. Commune
cations between the various churches
are made through the Publication
Committee, of which Alfred Farlow, OF
the Mother Church in Boston, is the
head for the world, and there are rep

tion of a successor to Mrs. Eddy as
the head of the church. AS Mr.. Rearicl
said, talking about a successor to Mrs
| Eddy would be similar to speaking
of a Successor to Martin Luther; ne
person could take the place of thi.
revered woman, whom the members Of
her church regard as the greates
teacher stree Christ.

funeral would depend upon Mrs
