It would txt desirable, from n strictly 
heoretloal standpoint, to avoid all suob

necessary to pass a new tariff bill and 
nncosslnns luviot be made to obtain them. 
The very utmost that can bo hoped fur 
ly the next administration, oven allow- 
ng tor the seating of Dupont of Dela- 
ware, which Is an Improbability, Is forty- 
five In the senate, or just half of tho total 
membership. On ouch a showing tho 
'Ice president would have tho deciding 
voto. But with that prospect In view tbo 
combined opposition will defeat the neat- 
lug of Mr. Dupont, making it absolutely 
necessary to secure recruits from other 
ouroos. 


There nre only two directions from 


which help can be obtained —viz.: from 
tba sound money Daiuiwrattj or the frco 
silver Republicans. Senator-elect McKn- 
erv of Louisiana has raid that be would 
vote for and support a tariff bill that 
would give recognition to sugar, Lut that

out gunning again In a few days and 
came back with tho other band blown to

Washington, Jan. 23.—In tho senate 


Senator Cullom presented it number ot 
letters favorable and unfavorable to tho 
Anglo-Auierlonn peace treaty. 


Then Turpio (Horn. Ind.) caused a sen- 


sation. Hu mild three weeks ago a formal 
utterance from the secretary of state rela- 
tive to tho Cuban question appeared in 
tho newspapers. At that time there was 
no resolution before tho somite. 
Under 


Mich circumstances tho secretary's utter- 
ance wan a bitter dictum, most rude, 
most NWlft and of tho most voluntary 
character. Tho scniito might have passed 
this by, b.ut today tho pub:ioatlon op- 


jn the newspapers to tbe effect that 


a compact had been entered into between 
the secretary of state and tho new premier 
(Sherman) by which thcro was to oo' no 
further action touching Cuba during the 
present administration. "Allow me to 
say," proceeded Tutple, "I regard such 
course as a violation between the legisla- 
tive and executive blanches of tbo govern- 
ment, and has been done only onoo Uotore1 


when Cunning"—lut this point Sherman 
Interrupted by saying, "if tbo senator **' 
fers to tbo publication of today I will say 
there is not tbe slightest warrant for tbe 
statement made. I Imvo not hod no 'vfcwd 
with Olnoy on tho subject and there has 
been no mention of the agreement or un- 
derstanding.") Turplo said he wns glad 
to accept tho disavowal nnd added, "What 
ever difference ot opinion there may he SB 
to the independence of Cuba I think ev- 
ery senator hero favors tbe independence 


pli«bed in fact until tho senate bud exam- 
ined and passed upon It. In his judg- 
ment It was very poor policy to have 
tboso.rcpeatod utterances culling on sera- 
tors to act at once. What if it should 
turn out that there was some unintended 
advantage to Knglund or disadvantage to 
tho United States In tho treaty which 
both parties would correct. 


Hoar sold no man was more desirous 


than himself to see an ora of peace and 
good will, but he wished to enter n pro- 
test against meddling with the serious 
duty of senators. By this time tbe gal- 
leries wore filled and there was Intense In 
terest In the discussion. Sherman fol- 
lowed Hoar, there being added interest in 
bis statement la view of his early entry to 
the head of tbe state department, and bis 
present position as cbnlramn of tbe com- 
mittee on foreign relations. He said no 
onu was more ready than himself to con- 
gratulate the country on tho conclusion 
of this treaty. At tho same time the 
treaty was one involving such grave con- 
siderations that should bave the most 
careful, mature and dispassionate consid- 
eration. That was the present purpose of 
the committee of foreign relations. Tho 
members were about to take up tbe treaty 
to consider it article by article with tbe 
greatest oaro. 
Tho committee said It 


would proceed with all speed compatible 
with interests Involved. 


Thoro was no purpose to postpone or de- 


lay action. Senator Allislon of Iowa, 


how long tho treaty had been under 


oonsldoratibn between tho governments. 
Sherman eald a year, if not longer. 
Gresbaru took active part in the early no- 
gotlatljns. Hour said tbo question had 
been up in one form or another for twenty 
years. Gladstone made a speech on It in 
tho house of commons twenty-five years 
ago. 
A delegation came from England 


ten yoarg ago bearing a request from a 
majority of the members of parliament 
favorable to arbitration. 
Ibo delegation 


was entertained in Boston and there came 
a favorable 
response throughout tho 


country. 


.1. A. Sorlmser and Edmund L. Hay- 


llss, were before t!io houso committee on 
interstate and foreign commerce In tho 
Interest of the Pacific Cable company of 
New York, against Spaldlnir. company of 
New Jersey. Sorimsor 
sold 
eighteen 


months after passage bis company would 
complete tho cable to Hawaii and u yoar 
Inter to Japan. Ho oald in case of war 
with England tbe cable communication 
with Europe would be out oft*. 
Ho said 


tho Htorumont that Japan granted no oth- 
er cable connection wai ridiculous." His 
lino to Japan would give to the people of 
that country over one million dollars In 
tolls. Tho Spaldlng company would build 
to Hawaii and stop. In reply to a ques- 
tion from Patterson of tho committee, as 
to tho truth of tho statement that tho 
company would be dominated by English 
Influence, Sorlmser said, "Of course tho 
company expected to do business with 
British people." Patterson proponed that 
a provision bo Inserted In tho bill in rnso 
tho compnny[tn operate should come un- 
der llrltlflli Inlluenofg. 


Tho president approved tho act for tho 


erection of a government building at the 
Tennessee centennial exposition, without 
advertising for proposals; constructing 
tho law In reference to award of life sav- 
ing medals so they may lie awarded to 
persons not members of life saving crows 
and for exertions olfowlioro than adjacent 
to life saving stations.

Champaign, III., Jan. gi.'.—The annual 


fracas between the members; of tbe fresh- 
men and sophomore olassoH of tbe Univer- 
sity of Illinois occurred last night. It 
leaked out late In tho afternoon that the 
freshmen woro to havo their sooialle In 
Uusy'a hull. Urbona, and at 7 o'clock 
sophomores begun to gather in tbe street 
In front of thu opera houso building. 
Mayor Hubhard hud boon notified that 
thcro would probably be trouble 
be- 


tween the men of the two clusses.and, as a 
consequence, he had more than u dozen 
extra policemen on duty in the street in 
front of the building, and some of them 
were, located in different "parts of the 
building. 


The flrst arrivals among tho freshmen 


and young women accompanying them 
wore allowed to go into tho hall unmolest- 
ed, but ut about H o'clock the mob of up- 
por class men mndo a ohargc on tho en- 
trance to tho ball. They were repulsed 
by tho police, wbo stood with upraised 
olubs, and In tho scramble ono student 
was arrested and taken away to the city 
building. 
When tho sophomores saw that 


they could not break through tho line of 
officers, they went to a building just 
across tbo alloy from tho opera houeo and 
gained entrance to one ot the second Htory 
rooms. From this point they were able 
to look into the dunce hall, and It was tbo 
work of only an instant to throw missies 
which broko out tho glass In at leant 
eight of the windows. This accomplish- 
ed, the dunce hall was Hooded with tho 
chemicals for which tho Unlverklty of Illi- 
nois students have uouonio noted. 


Never in tbo history of freshmen socia- 


bles has any class been able to inhabit u 
room into which tbeso chemicals woro 
thrown, nnd in loss than fifteen minutes 
tho hall wits nearly dosortcrt. Tbe fright- 
ened, freshmen retreated to another part 
of the-building, but declared that they 
would go on with their festivities as soon 
an tho hhll was "aired." 


At 0:80 tbo sophomores made another 


attempt to got into the ball, mid at this 


Mayor Georgo Hubbnrd took tho 


mutter In charge. Ho ordered out the 
Volunteer 
Fire department, and two 


streams of water, under hlgH pressure, 
wore turned un the crowd of sophomores 
mussed in tho street. At first they show- 
ed no inclination to retro'it, but finally 
mado u rush pell-mell to tho shelter of 
hallways of adjoining buildings. 


Wbllo tho firemen were fighting tbe 


mass of the mob with streams "f water, a 
half dozen sophomores anil upper class- 
men were attempting to get more ahem- 
Icitls Into tho ball where the party was to 
bo held, and tbroo of them wore arrested 
In the attempt. They were taken to po- 
ll o hoaoqunrtors, and had not )>eon balled 
out by friends at 10."JO o'clock. 


Miss Delia Hnbunbangh of this city, 


who was being escorted to tbo party by a 
freshman, B. M. Thompson, may proba- 
bly lose her eyetght as a result of tho 
nlght'fl performance. 
While iiour tho en- 


trance to tho hall sho and young Thomp- 
son were attacked by a'party (.f sopho- 
mores, who throw chemicals at thorn, and 
tbo fluid entered tbe oycs of tho young 
woman. She was assisted to the office of 
Dr. Bartbalow, and was In groat agony. 
After a hurried examination tho physi- 
cian said the eyes hod been seriously in- 
jured, and tliat perhaps the slgtt would 
be destroyed. A t 9:30 o'clock ho uald tbe 
patient was resting more eBBy, and that 
perhaps she would recover without seri- 
ous results. 


At 10:30 tho streets wore clear of sopho- 


mores, but It wns sold they bod not gone 
to their quarters, and tho polios were ex- 
pnctlng another attack later In tbe night, 
provided the freshmen should nttempt to 
proceed wltB their party. At II :80 o'clock 
nil the sophomores hart disappeared from 
i he atreit- and tho freshmen had resom 
their festivities nnd there was no further 
disturbance 


Tbo bogs scented tho greenIflwUiv and one

finding them palatable, devoured tbo 
whole (500. Thts waa a year ago! 


John did not make his fortune. He 


roomed around the mining ciurups, con- 
tracted a dliiouse «f the oycs, nnd then 
come homo 
Ho asked his father for the

no hesitation in recommending Dr. 
King's New Discovery, as the rcwulta 
were almost marvelous in the case of my 
wife. While I was pastor of the Baptist 
church at Kivrn Junction she was 
brought down with Pneumonia suoceod- 
ing La Grippe. Terrible paroxvami ot 
coughing would last hours with little in- 
terruption, and it seemed as if she could 
•\ot»urvivethem. A. friend recommended 
Dr. King's New Discovery; it was quick 
in its work and highly saitafmotory in TO- 
ralU."

ID the matter of the communication of 


the secretary of the state grange of Illi- 
nois, dated .Tan. 1, embodying a reoln- 
tlon of that body, a.'opted at Its December 
meeting, asking tbo board of railroad 
and warehouse commissioners to reduce 
tho passenger rate from 8u to 2c per mile, 
tho commission Is of tho opinion that to 
do so at the present time would bo unwlso 
and unwarranted, and would bo unjust 
to the railroad Interest In the state. 
While «onw of tbo great trunk linos In 
Illinois might be able to stand such a ro 
ductlon, yet the smaller roads and those 
which do almost wholly a local buelneFtn, 
und which are now and have been for tho 
last two yours struggling for existence, 
would b« moit seriously affertefl by It. 
Such action on tbo board's part would 
simply increase tbo heavy burdens under 
which they are staggering now. 
It IB a 


watt a member of tbo Cumberland Prasby-

considerate citizen.

— 


well known fact to tboso who have taken 
the trouble to Investigate the amount of 
passenger business done by the railroads 
In Illinois during tho last two years, that 
there has been a largo decrease In tbo 
number of passengers carried. This is 
due, In tho judgment of the board, not to 
the amount charged for such service, but 
to the genera! depression In nil llnon of 
business, tho low prices of farm products 
and the umettlcd financial conditions, 
which have hod their effect on tb" pas- 
sengcraswell as the freight business 
And it 'a also a fact, OB shown by the 
sworn reports of the railroads of Illinois, 
that tho capital Invested In such property 
has not paid even a fair Interest to the 
stockholders. 


This question win before tho board 


when It revised the freight schedule in 
1H96, and the whole question was thor- 
oughly considered. « did not think 
then, and neither docs It fool now. that In 
justice to both the pnbllc|ond tho rail- 
roads (because each should stand on the 
sumo equality before the law) this reduc- 
tion should bo made at this time. If the

A 


Great 
Traveler 
The woman who does 
the washing travels 
from pole to pole and 
crosses the line many 
times. She soon learns 
from experience that 
she can save time, money and labor by using 


5ANTA 


CLAUS SOAR 


the best, purest and most economical soap made. 
She also discovers that clothes washed with 
Santa Claus look better and last longer than they 
do when washed with ordinary soap. Santa Claus 
is sold everywhere. Ask for it. Made only by

THE SEASON'S^ FASHIONS 


An attractive aklrt for a miss is of 


cashmere. 
The akirt is plain r.nd 


trhnmcd with three rows of velvet rib- 
bon at the hem. The yoke and belt are 
of velvet, as oro ulso the slecvcfi, which 
have ruffles over the large cashmere 
puffs at the shoulders. 


In spite of comment on it* incongrui- 


ty, fur, chiffon, lace, cloth and velvet 
are mixed up in the most heterogcmous 
fashion. This combination is not sup- 
posed to appear other than in very 
elegant mutermlB. 
Indeed, thf flue 


quality of tin- goods is the only e\cu«e 
for its existent*1. 


A cloth costume has fi tailor-mid* 


akirt, and a waist (it velvet the cnlor 
of the cloth. The wide folded belt and 
Eton jacket are of cloth, with fltteci 
sleeica, over which full 
long, loop«l 


puffs which cover the sleeves from the 
HliouldcTS to elbows. The clow velvet 
collar him nn edging of white satin. 


A Htylinh dress is of blur-It satin. The 


skirt in cut plainly and has a narrow 
quilling of nilk Just under the edge. 
The waist has a perfectly plain front 
of solid embroidery; the sides and back, 
which arc doso-fllting1, are of the satin. 
There are fitted «le*ves, withcape ruffle 
lined with a silk like that at. the edge 
of the Klcirt. 


A rlinrming du-ess for a ffirl is mide 


of black velvet. The skirt is plain. Th« 
waist has bolero fronts over a silk vest. 
The collar is hiph and ((lightly rolled 
out from the throat. The, sleeve* tit the 
arms and have lar<?e puffs at the. shoul- 
ders. A belt of embroidery crosses the 
front from tk* edges of the cutaway 
jacket. 


Short jackets, with cutaway fronts, 


are popular, and, because of the. open 
ipoee from collar to waist-line, fashion 
is demanding an enormous quantity 
o< lace In jabots, cascades and lootings. 
When these confections are made over 
a moderately thick lining, (hey furnish 
considerable warmth, and are just i 
little better than nothing.

known of iU inhabitants that varieties 
of prehistoric monsters mny htill exist. 
in its depths.

Herpent.s, even of the smallest si/e, com- 
nionly have more than 100; some of tin-

40(1. 


Th- story about

circumstantiality of detail, that the 
naturalists concede there, is u strong 
probability of its truth. 


The life of the serpent Is sometimes 


protracted far beyond a period that 
would l>e deemed reasonable. 
In the 


pyllton temples of western Africa there 
arc serpents which aie known to have 
been there a century and a ha.!f apo. 


The serpent is, in Christian art, an 


attribute of St. Cecilia, St. Euphemh 
mid iiHiny other saints, being ns.sipn.-d 
to them either because they destroyed 
the power of Satan or because they 
cleared one or another country of rep- 
tiles.

HINTS TO VEIL-WEARERa 


The most important hint on the wear- 


ing- of veils cornea f'-oni the oculist. It 
Is: "Don't." 


The economical girl's rule is: "Al- 


ways buy thill chiffon, bluett mid white. 
It will wash lilce linen: it is always in- 
conspicuous. It docs not tear, and it 
does protect the face from the breezes." 


The esthete cries aloud: "Don't, 


don't, 
don't 
wenr 
MM!H with 
biff 


'splotches' of black on them. It makes 
the prettiest girl look like the victim 
of some hideous phifnie." 


The complexion specialist entreats 


veil-wearers thus: "Whatever you do. 
don't wear dusty veils'. Face steaming 
and niiihHiige will not undo the d[umi£e 
to tlwi skin caused by soiled and dusty 
bits of chiffon and tulle." 


The conservative dame Miys: "Never 


we.'ir a tell that is conspicuous in coloi 
or design. A\oid the greens that give 
a jaundiced appearance to their wear- 
ers mid reds that no on-** but silly nov- 
elty-seekers would think of destroying

HOUSEHOLD HINTS. 


If a burn I* sprinkled freely with 


powdered charcoal thc burning: Mnaa- 
tion will be relieved almost immediate- 
ly. 


When cut flower* become wilted they 


may frequently be freshened by clip- 
ping ofl the end* awl dipping the ntema 
m hot water for a- few moments. 


Wl«>n puttJng away silverware that 


Is not in use all the time do not iieglwct 
to sprinkle a few tiny bits of camphor 
pum In, each oaae* before rolling it up; 
then If tlie. silver ia put awny in a close 
box it will not become discolored. 


All thc t,iuy pieces uml crusts of 


bread should be saved; their uses are 
numerous. They can he made into pud- 
dlnfrti, stuffings'for meat, anil fl»h, ami 
excellent griddle cnke«. Or if the piecei 
:ire dried In u. moderate oven, then irolle< 
and »ifted, they are always ready to 
eo» w croquettes, walloped dishes an< 
other thing*. 


Frequently one will be annojed \ 


vermin In thc soil around the roote o 
the. window plants. The worms may b. 
disposed, of by thoroughly wettinR thi 
earth with lime water, using abou 
half a cnp ot lime 1o three quarts o 
water. Let all the. lime dissolve thn 
will, then pour off the clear water an 
leave the sediment. Tse this water 
upon the noil. 


Often the window (flow* requires to 


be cleaned, hut it is wo cold and the air 
is so full of frost that It docs not seem 
advisable to wash thc piaos with water. 
Try a flannel cloth; moisten it. with 
paraffin* oil and rub the KWu* with lf; 
Have at. hand a fresh flannel cloth and 
rul> over the filasfi with it. This method 
will pive better results than soap an<? 
water.

Clear 'Em Out 


Sale. 


We are RoinR to clean up all the odds and ends that we 
have in the house. There is nothing the matter with 
these "odds and ends" - they are just as good shoes as 
they ever were, hut the sixes are somewhat broken and 
we must make room for the big spring stock which we 
hare purchased and which will soon be arriving. When 
wejstart in on a Clearance Sale we do not do things 
hy halves, but we make the cuts so deep thai they com- 
mand attention. In fact 


Prices Are Knocked Silly, 


And remember all the time that these shoes which we 
are offering at such low prices are up-to-date in style, 
well made, desirable, nothing the matter except that the 
sizes are somewhat broken. If we can fit you we can 
E 


've voa a bargain such as you read about in old times 
it seldom see nowadays. Our ladies' handwelt shoes, 


dongola, vici kid sold for $8.00 per pair and were cheap 
at that, now marked down to 
L*2.'<J5. 
Ladies' hand- 


turned vici kid sh tea, regular #4.00 grade, and well worth 
that price of anybody's money, now only $2.05 per pair. 
Ladies' 82.50 vici kid shoes, in all the new toes; these 
shoes have been the talk of the town at the price—more 
appearance, style, good material and workmanship than 
you could get for the money anywhere else—now you can 
buy on« pair or as many pairs of them as you want for 
only I1.9& per pair. Proportionately low prices on all 
men's shoes. 
Now Is the Accepted Time! 


Now is tbe time to invest. If times seem tight that is 
all the more reason why you should save money in yonr 
purchases of footwear. We invite you to come. Hurry 
up while you will be sure you will be fitted. Come and 
aave yourself rich.

Chap. 


Many strange characters blow Into 


police headquarters 
Tbe latest 
freak 


was Lonls Nelhiser, a farmer who has a 
wife and three children residing near 
Dalton 
City. Last 
evening Nelhiser 


-jime into tho presence of Marshal Mason 
and bluntly stated that be wanted 
Boma- 


budy to take him in charge as bo feared 
be would do himself bodily barm. He 
also thought ho wn« going crazy. The 
interest of tho police chief was oxoitod at 
once. Ho questioned the man clcsuly 
and found that ho had been addicted to 
the use of intoxicating liquor; that bo 
was on bis way to Dwight to receive treat- 
ment, and that bo was easily brought into 


tearful etate and would ory on the 


slightest provocation. Nelbiser said he 
had telegraphed to his brother at Dalton 
City to moot him in Deoatur. He said he 
wanted to go back home on tho 11 o'clock 
tialn, but ho wun afraid to go about the 
city, Tho marshal told him ho would see 
that he was taken oaro of, but he would 
have to leave nH bis valuables at tbe 
office. 
Nolhiflpr hesitated for a time, but 


finally turned over bis watch and tin 60 
in cash. Then ho was placed ID an iron 
coll. At train time Nelhisor was taken to 
the depot in the patrol wagon and the 
officers saw that bo left tbe oity on the 
train. On tho way down Nelhlser seemed 
to wake up, for ho wonted to know what 
be bad done to bo hauled about in tho 
wagon. 
This morning a brother of Noi- 


hiser appeared nt police headquarters. 
Ho had come in to look nftor Lonls. 
Ho 


bad received the rooasagb from Louis to 
meet him in Deoatnr and just before leav- 
ing Dalton City, he got another telegram 
signed, J. J. Flynn, reading, "Your 
brother Is dead In Deoatur. 
Come." If 


s reached Daltou City last nigbt bo 


probably walked out to his homo five 
miles from tho village. This forenoon 
tho brother learned that both telegrams 
Rent him were written by Lonis last oven- 
Ing before ho came up town. 
Louis was 


evidently considerably deranged. Now 
tho police aro wondering what has become 
«f NolhlHor. 
Ho told his popple when be 


loft home that he was going to the lead 
mine district at Joplin, Mo., and he had 
a letter of Introduction In bis pocket to 
the manager of tho Gold Curo at Dwli»lit.
