Systemic Cntarrh

Mrs Augusta Pauline Ochs. R. F. b 3, North English. Iowa, writes: T took Peruna over three years. I suffered from systemic catarrh and had pains in my right side so I could hardly do my housework.
 T am 66 years old, and am now doing all my homework. I am in the best of health, and cannot thank pr. Hartman enough for his advice and medicine"
 Family Medicine. 1 A family. or domestic. medicine is 6 medicine compounded in such a way that people who know little or nothing of drugs can use 1t without the advice of physician.
 There is nothing to prevent competent physicians from uniting and agreeing as to what compounds best meet the general necessities, and supply them with proper directions for use, saving not only tho expense, but annoyance, of a separate visit from physician for every little i'll for which few doses of medicine are useful.
 We do not r0eommend Peruna a cure-all. We do, however. believe that 1t is a very useful remedy for catarrh in all forms and phases. We do not ask the public to believe our statements unless backed up by evidence from those who have used 1t.

 of Revenue

Montgomery, March 4.-(SpeciaD. Easy going citizens of Montgomery who have been looking to the Alabama legislature to furnish all of the excitement of the season had their calculations upset today when Judge Armstead Brown of the city court ordered theS< county grand jury, which was recently dismissed, to reoon- vene at the courthouse March 17 for the purpose of considering socalled objection able features in the recent report of that body. In this report the grand jurors represented that they had found the county's money to he recklessly expend- ed by the county board of revenue, tie end in view being the betterment of cer- tain property of individual members os that board
 Judge Browns conclusions were reached after a full weeks consideration of a
 motion made by the board of revenue last week, when the county body offered a motion in court that the socalled ob- jectionabe features of the grand jury \ report be stricken from the records Tn reconvening the grand jury the judge overruled the motion to expunge the re- rort
 Judge Browns decision covered 12 close ly written pages of legal cap paper. At the end he insists that the grand jurors diligently probe the situation and en- deavor to make report that will either permit of indictment or full clearance papers

 Deep Significance
 The end of the Sixty-frst Congress held a far deeper significance than the surface scenes of wrangling and wlld disorder. In the House 1t meant the turning over of control to the demo- crats after 16 years of republican su- premacy. It meant the stepping down of Uncle Joe" Cannon from his posi- tion of power at the speakers desk to more humble place in the ranks of the minority. It meant the retirement to private life of a small army of re- publican members, who. throughout the session, had borne the taunts of the democrats and the soubriquet of 'lamc ducks" Some hopped out with mourn ful mien while others. loyal to the administration, jauntily hurried away to comfortable berths In the public ser vice. M
 While the terms of only 30 senators expired today and many of these have been returned. the revolution in the upper branch of the national legisla- ture, as to leadership. is almost as violent as in the House.
 President Taft, in his proclamation convoking Congress on April 4, men, tions as reason. therefore. only the Canadian reciprocity agreement. There were many persons who held to the hope to the very last minute that the Mccall bill might be rushed through tho Senate and an extra session avoided
 As matter of fact. however, the extra session proclamation had been drawn up for several days, only the date of the session being left vacant

PROCLAMATION ON
 EXTRA SESSION

Washington, March 4.-President Taft in calling Congress into extraordinary session issued the following proclama- ton:
 "Whereas, by this special message, dated January 26, 1911, there was trans mitted to the Senate and House of Rep resentatives an agreement between the department of state and the Canadian government in regard to the reciprocal tariff legislation, together with an earn est recommendation that the necessary legislation be promptly adopted; and
 Whereas, a bill to carry into effect said agreement has passed the House of Representatives, but has failed to reach a vote In the Senate; and
 Whereas the agreement stipulates not only that the President of the United States will communicate to Congress the conclusions now reached and recommend the adoption of such legislation as may be necessary on the part of the United States to give effect to the propose agreement, but also that the governments of the two countries will use their ut most efforts to bring about such changes by concurrent legislation at Washington and at Ottawa.
 Now therefore, l. William Howard Taft. President of America. by virtue of the power invested in me by the con- stitution, do hereby proclaim and declare that an extraordinary occasion requires the converting of both houses of the Con gress of the United States on the 4th of April 1911, at 12 o'clock noon. to the end that they may consider and determine whether the Congress shall, by the neces- sary legislation, make operative the agreement
 All persons entitled to act as members of the Sixtysecond Congress are required to take notice of this proclamation.
 "Given under my hand and the seal of the United States at Washington, the fourth day of March, in the year of our Lord, 1911, and of the independence of the United States 135.

sHi5 ah9s fva ations Are Already in rx9krese Looking Toward Seuseze in May in New
 York Market

New Orleans, March 1.-The cotton market this week made net gain on the old crop months of to 10 points ana a net loss on the new crop of l6 points, In the early part of the week the new crop displayed more strength than the old, but later the old crop was aneceeo by talk of a bull campaign in the sum- n,f,. pos,tions. while tho new crop was held down by talk of large acreage. The high prices of the week were reaciieu on Wednesday, when the old crop "as Ss points up and the new was lS to l* LID. The low prices on the old crop were made Of, Monday, when they were to noints under last weeks close; the low prices on the new crop were made satur- day, when they were 10 to IS points under last weeks last quotations. The range of the list as a whole was over 2S to A points.
 The week was broken up by the holiday Tuesday and interests in the legitimate features of the market were lessened by the contest in Congress over the Scott bill. The trade did not breathe freel' until Congress adjourned without final action on this measure which sought t. prohibit trade in cotton futures.
 More or less manipulation was in evi- dence at all times, and many rumors were spread about concerning the intentions of the bullss regarding May and July. It was, said that operations were already in progress looking toward a squeeze in May in the New York market. The eff feet of much of the buying for long ac- count was lost in the sympathetic decline following the decline in the stock mar ket when, an extra session of Congress became certainty. For the first time in many weeks the outside public took an active part in the market and trading from this element would have been large in volume but for the uncertainty over legislation. Almost on the week end momentary scare over the Scott bill caused a great deal of liquidation in the outside long account.
 The new crop was affected mainly by dispatches from the interior showing the intention of planting a large acreage as soon as the weather permits. The very cold weather that prevailed In some sections of the cotton belt was called bearish feature. for 1t resulted in the killing of many truck and fruit crops which will be replaced by cotton there, tending to increase the acreage.
 S.rhe spot market prices made an ad- vance of 1s cent on middling, closing at 14 s-16c, against 147-16c last week and 14a.c this week last year. Sales on the spot amounted to BPS bales, against 6S6 last week and 1925 this week last year; sales to arrive totaled S650 bales, against 22S5 last week and 26l0 this week last year

Montgomery, March 4.-(Special')- Considerable talk has'been heard about the hotel lobbies in references to the speech of Walker Percy of Birming- ham in which he made a vigorous at- tack on Governor Emmet O'Nea1 for several of his recent appointments. While the speech is declared to have been one of the strongest ever heard on the floor of the house of repre- sentatives many friends of the ad ministration regard Mr. Percy's ar raignment of Alabama's chief executive as having been entirely uncalled for and i'll advised. Many others have taken the position that the representative from Jefferson county was somewhat justified in his attack.
 The preponderance of opinion, how ever, is that Mr. Percy made a mis- take The closest friends of the ad ministration claim that the speech was the result of unfriendliness toward the governor and that the arraignment de-

sion of today was to begin at a.. m. The custom had been to take a recess un- til the time agreed upon for the meeting on the calendar day of March 4, but early this morning the Senate adjourned the legislative day of March 3. When the Senate reconvened therefore, 1t was for legislative and calendar day of March 4.
 As soon as it became noised about that a custom had been violated senators be- gin a nasty examination of precedents. Several members said that the terms of senators not reelected to the new Con- gress expired when the legislative day of March 8 was adjourned at 745 o'clock this morning. Senator Gallinger was in the chair. He referred to the question to H. Fl. Gilfry, the Senate parliamentarian.
 After long search 1t was discovered that, while the Senate never had had a legislative day of March 4, for the pur- pose Of winding up session of Con- gress, there was no reason except custom for that fact. The precedent on that subject as laid down by MT. Gilfry and by decisions, of the United States Senate on points of order is as follows:
 "The session on that date terminates (by constitutional limitation) at 12 o'clock. meridian, March 4, when the birth of a new Congress takes place.
 For the first time. therefore, leaders of the Senate learned that the calendar day Is superior to the legislative day in determining political situations.

livered by MT. Percy is, calculated to do him considerable injury.
 It is doubtful If more severe ar raignment has ever been delivered on the floor of the house. MT. Percy's S speech was the chief matter of discus sion last night and early this morn ing, the opinion prevailing among some members that. while the attack was fearless, and while there might have been certain grounds for complaint, it was nevertheless i'll advised on the part of MT. Percy to attack the governor in so vigorous a manner.
 Whether or not either MT. Walker or MT. Long will issue any statement in reply to MT. Percy's address could not be learned today. Mr. Walker, the new appointee as the superintendent of banks. declared that MT Percy had been sufficiently answered on the floor of the house. and that he did not think he would have any statement to make. Whether or nQt MT. Long will take this position could not be learned, though it is possible that both Mir. Long and MT. Walker will reply to MT. Percy.
