and whereas our junior senator, Hon.
K. ID. Smith, believing the above action
on the part of coherent official to
be wrong and extremely unjust to
those interested in the production or
ownership of cotton did introduce In
Congress n bill providing for the in

change contracts to the bull CLIQUE"
for the delivery of cotton during the
month OF May and July and to ascer-
tain whether or not said parties had in
hand actual cotton to place upon said
contracts or whether said contracts
were purely speculative. Therefore
be 1t resolved
That we do heartily commend the
watchfulness and pluck of the Hon. Il.
ID. Smith, cur senator, in thus uncover
ing to the public gaze the true reason
which acturated the attorney general
i'm taking the unwarranted and illegal
action above set out.
That we ask our delegates to the
State convention, this day elected, to
introduce similar resolutions before
that body and that said resolutions
urge upon our representatives i'm Con-
grcss to resist to the finish any effort
to abridge or abolish the exchanges
OF New York or New Orleans so far
as cotton is concerned, unless the said
provision should be made general SO
as to include the products Of the world
That a copy of these resolutions be
sent to each of our senator's and to
the several members of the House o.

A sad death is that of Miss Mabel
Prendergast, which occurred at the
family home, sos West Cady street,

peacefully and amidst the members

when in the hopes of regaining her
broken health they removed to Wa
tertown, but the change did not
prove beneficial and death resulted
from lung trouble. Her parents and
one brother survive. Miss Prender-
CAST possessed a large circle of
friends in Watertown who will be
sorry to learn of her death, as she
was most amiable and accomplished
young lady. The funeral will take
place L uulSudy HOIulnS W 81. b0Iu-
ards church.
Mrs. w. H. Norton passed to her
final reward in the family home in

Gave Him the Limit

Yesterday, Justice Hence handed out
a six months sentence in the county
Jail to man by the name of Fred Karge,
who plead guilty to beating his wife and
driving his family out of their home in
the night time TO perish in the cold.
While boose is the primary cause for his
action, the man evidently has a bad
streak in his make por he would not
treat his family brutally even while IN
der the influence of liquor. As gene
raj thing, what man thinks when sober
he executes when drunk; aid there is nc

II you are run down, do not fail to

that delays are dangerous" applies more
fully to the kidney, liver and bladder
diseases than to anything else. Diseases
of the kidney, liver and bladder will
stand no trifling, because there is no dis
ease so deceptive, and nothing more
fatal.
Look backward and recall to memory
the many sufferers, and others who have
died during the past year. Have you
