SPRIKOFTKIJ HI.. Jan. jn.-fFpedal.)
Consternation seized the Ilopkirm men
today when the General Assembly In
Joint srssion became Involved in a dead
lock over the election of a United Statea
Senator. Five Joint ballots . failed to
break the tie-up. On the first Senator
Hopkins waa 14 voles any of the neces
ary majority of JB. and on the fifth
his strength had waned until he was 13
short, while from the tents of the Aurora
statesman's enemies issued the sound of
a sxeat rejoicing. .
May Deadlock Several Days.
The balloting will be resumed at noon
tomorrow. The Renerals of the two op
posing; forces have bn flying around all
rivvr innv t rnirt hpn in e their forces, and
the belief is general that the deadlock
will not be smashed for several days.
The present understanding Is that a few
ballots will be taken tomorrow after
nrwin afrr which the two houses will
adiourn until next week, leaving the
Sonsatnrial election still up In the air.

LOCAL OPTION BILL IS UP
Public Morals Committee of Senate
Considers Measure.
t
OLYMPIA. Wash.. Jan. 20. (Special.)
The Anti-Saloon League's local-option
bill had Its first Innings in the public
morals committee of the Senate tonight.
Indications are that the bill as intro
duced cannot obtain a majority report
of the committee favorable to Its passage.
Three of the nine members, Ruth. Boothe
and Knickerbocker, favor eliminating
first, second and third-class cities, and
possibly fourth-class cities, from the pro-
' visions of the bill, although they are not
disposed to insist upon tho law not ap-
plying to fonrth-rla?s cities, as a number
of Eastern Washington counties in which
there are small towns are anxious that
the law reach such communities.
Some of the other members of the
committee do not approve of provisions
Ih the bill. Metcalf of Pierce announced
that he would submit two amendments
which will change the feature of the
bill which makes a county unit vote
against saloons carry every precinct
with It. while a county unit vote for the
saloons leaves any single precinct dry
that votes against the saloons. This pro
vision Is considered unfair by a number
of the members on the committee. The
committee will likely consider the bill in
several sessions before reporting.

BOISE. Idaho. Jan. 20. (Special.) A

of three lawyers, whose duty it shall be
to advise with members of the legisla

... Jlnrr InrrieloHnn Sind AS A bOard

There are now three direct primary
under consideration. House bill, by
Parsons, has already been outlined. Tho
t - win i tn Senate, is drawn
on practically the same lines, with the
exception max me oiri.u.. . --
States Senator is made somewhat non
partisan. It being provided that enly the
name of the candidate receiving the larg
est number of first and second-choice,
votes tst at the primary election shall
be certified to the Legislature and under
Statement One the Legislature's Pwf
and duties are limited to a ratification
of the people s choice. The bill is pre
sented by two Democratic Senators.
In the Senate today, Spaulding of Koot
enai, offered a third direct primary meas
ure which provides for the holding of
primary elections for state and county
officers and members of Congress, on the
first Tuesday in September, 1i10, and bien
nially thereafter, the primary vote to be
canvassed on the succeeding Friday. State
conventions are to be held 20 days after
the primary elections, composed of nomi
nees for state offices and Legislature,
when a platform will be adopted, and on
Presidential years v nominees for Presi
dential electors will be selected.
The state conventions are to elect a
state central committee. The bill pro
vides that the candidate having the larg
est vote for any office shall be declared
the nominee of his party. Second choice
votes are not provided for. Some effort
was made today to make the Spaulding
bill appear as an administration measure.
This Is denied by Governor Brady, and

direct primary bill drawn which will be

Charcoal was made famous by tha

His brothers in medicine laugrieu v ...
claims. Thereupon he swaiiow in
grains of strychnine, enouen to -
three men. and ate some eharcoa 1. The
doctors thoucht him mad. but
not even have to go to bed. The char
coal killed the effects of the

Stuart s Charcoal Loeun" ---of
pure willow charcoal, sweetened to
a palatable state with honey.
Two or three of them cure an ordi
nary case ot bad breath. TheV should
be used after every meal, especially if
one's breath is prone to he impure.
These little lozenures have nothing to
do with medicine. They are just sweet,
fresh willow, burned to a nicety for
charcoal making and fragrant honey,
the product of the bee. Thus every In
gredient comes to man from the lap
'fThetUoly secret lies in the Stuart
process of compressing these simple
substances Into a hard tablet or lozenge,
so that age. evaporation or decay mas
not assail their curative qualities.
You may take as many of tliein as
vou wish and the more ,you take the
quicker will you remove the effects of
bad breath and impurities arising from
a decayed or decaying meal They as

trying to relieve his sufl'ering, which is
usually more or less experimental, it u
usually difficult to secure the services of
physician in the middle of the night, and he
should never be depended upon as the case
must be treated at once. A bottle of Cham
berlain's Cough Bemedy in the house will
save anxiety, expense and perhaps the life
of the child. When this medicine is given
at the first indication of croup, the attack
may be avoided, and even after the croupy
eough has appeared, it will prevent the at
tack. We have never known it to fail to
effect a cure in any case of croup, and it is.
we believe, in more general use in the United
fitatea for that disease than any other remedy.
