parties that are proceeding to the aid of
the snowbound trains, as they are beyond

Courthouse, where Magistrate Marcom,
after a preliminary hearing, committed
him to Jail for murder.
The rumor here is that the tragedy
grew out of a reported secret marriage

Haywood, who is now in Jail, has made
no statement.
The testimony at 'the preliminary hear
ing before Justice Marcom developed
that earlier in the day Skinner had called
at Haywood's office. What occurred there
is not known. When he came out, he
started for the Postofflce. In the mean
time, Haywood went to the Courthouse.
As he returned and was near the middle

BLADDER TROUBLE
AND TOK KIDNEYS
Had to Pass Water Very Often Day and Night
Cured by the Qreat Kidney and Bladder Remedy,
Swamp-Root.
DR. KILMER & CO.. Binghamton. N. Y.
About two yrars ago I had a severe case of kidney and bladder trouble. The
pain In the small of my back was so severe that I could not stand It to stay in
one position more than a moment or two, and was obliged to pass water very
often day and night. I tried medicines and doctors without getting relief. Noticing
an article In the Topeka State Journal so highly recommending' Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, I determined to give it a trial and bought a bottle. By the time I
had finished the first bottle the pain had entirely disappeared from my back. The
pain and frequent desire to pass water ceased. However, I continued to take the
medicine, using about six bottles in all. That was over a year ago and I have had
no return of the trouble since.

HOUSE TALKS CURRENCY
DAY DEVOTED TO DEn.VTE ON
NEED OF EXPANSION.
Hoth Parties Show Division and DIU
Is Doomed Cochran Repudiates
Thayer's as Minority Bill.
Tha day la the. Houm wsli devoted to
debats on tha Fowler currency MIL
Fowler, the author of tha measure,
spoke for over two hours. The other
cpe&kers were Thayer and Levering of
ftlassacrtusetta, Lewis ot Georgia and
Prince of Illinois. The general convic
tion is that the bill has no chance to
become a law, and the fact that there
are divergent views on both aides ot
the House Is detected from the debate.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 2L At the open
ing of the session of the House today
Hemeiyway (Ind.) asked unanimous con
sent for the consideration of a bill to ex
empt from taxation the property of the
Daughters of the Revolution In the Dis
trict of Columbia. Moon (Tenn.) objected,
siying he would continue to object to the
consideration of any bill by unanimous
consent.
Fowler (N. J.) then moved that the
House go Into committee of the whole to
consider the currency bill, and pending
that motion he asked that he control the
time for the bill and Thayer (Mass.)
against JL To this Bartlett (Ga.) ob
jected, saying there was a difference of
opinion on the Democratic side concern
ing this question. When the motion was
put Bartlett made the point of no quo
rum, and the Speaker having counted the
House and finding only 1C0 members di
rected a calL The motion was carried,
1ST to P5.
Accordingly the House went into com
mittee, and Fowler, chalrmm of the com
mittee on banking and currency, took
the floor In support of his MIL He said
that all the Secretaries of the Treasury
and practically all Controllers of the Cur
rency for the past 30 years and all the
students of this subject favored a credit
currency, . the principle upon which the
pending Dill wis founded. He dwelt at
length on the absolute necessity of fur
nishing an elastic currency, which would
beJ expanded during the crop-moving
period. Toward the close of his speech
Fowler was besieged with questions. He
spoke more than two hours and was
given close attention.
Thayer (Mass.) answered with an ar
gument in support of a bill presented by
some of the minority members of the
committee. Ho agreed that a more elas
tic currency should be provided, but con
tended that the Fowler bill would inevi
tably lead to reckless expansion.
While Thayer was explaining the fea
tures and advantages of the minority
bill Cochran (Mo.) objected to the appel
lation "minority bill." "There Is no mi
nority bllL" said he. "The bill you are
supporting will not commmd the .votes
on this (the Democratic) side."
Thayer replied that the bill he was ad
vocating was the one Introduced by Padg
ett (Tenn.).
Lovering (Mass.) warmly supported the
Fowler bllL commending especially trie
compulsory Redemption feature.
After some further remarks by Lewis
I
(Ga.) In opposition to the bill and by
i-nnce im.j in advocacy of it, the com
mittee rose.

LEARN THE TRUTH
Regarding Drs. Copeland and Montgomery's Ability to Cure
Take Nothing on Faith Investigate for Yourself and
Be Convinced.
To convince the public that we are working real cures upon real people only one kind of
evidence can be accepted, and that is testimony which comes from patients who may.be inter
viewed; who are honest, who are grateful, who are sincere, who are anxious to help their
fellow men. Such testimony has been appearing regularly in these columns for the past 10
years. It is enduring proof that Doctors Copeland and Montgomery are really curingnot,
merely helping or relieving, not merely improving and benefiting alone, but curing disease.
Read in such cures a part of the record of their wonderful skill. They can cure disease.
They are doing it every day. They are making the sick well. They are curing the cough that
racks the chest with distress. They are soothing those cramping, shooting pains of the body
and limb. They are driving out poisons from the blood. They are stopping that nervous fear
and trembling. They are restoring the sense of hearing to ears that have long been dead to
the sense of sound.
THESE SPEAK FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE
Mr. T. IT. McGlll, Cathlamet,
Wash. I began treatment at the Cope
land Institute for Catarrh and Asthma
from which I had been suffering for
years. My nose was stopped up, and
my breathing short and labored. At
night I bad terrible attacks of asthma.
The air passages seemed to close up
almost entirely, making it difficult to
get enough air Into the lungs to keep
me alive. I would strangle and gasp
for breath and cough Incessantly.
My constitution broke down and I
had to give up all active work and
went east for a change of climate. The
doctor there told mo I had consump
tion and would die. I came home and
consulted the Copeland specialfsts.
They cured me.

A DAILY NUISANCE.
A Simple Remedy Which Will Inter
eat Catarrh Sufferers.
In Its earlier stages catarrh Is more of a
nuisance than a menace to tho general
health, but sooner or later the disease ex
tends to the throat, bronchial tubes and
even to the stomach and Intestines.
Catarrh is essentially a disease of the
mucous membrane, the local symptoms
being a profuse discharge of mucus, stop
page of the nostrils. Irritation in throat,
causing cougninj, sneezing, gagging and
frequent clearings of the throat and head.
The usual treatment by local douches,
snuffs, salves, etc, often gives temporary
relief, but anything like a cure can only bo
obtained by a treatment which removes
the catarrhal taint from the blood and the
disappearance of the inflammation from
the mucous surfaces.
A new remedy which meets these re
quirements, and which so far has been re
markably successful In curing catarrh is
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets.
These tablets act upon the blood and
mucous membranes only. They can hard
ly be called a secret patent medicine, as
they are composed of such valuable rem
edies as Blood Root, Hydras tin. Red Gum
and similar cleansing antiseptics, which
cure by eliminating from the blood and
mucous surfaces the catarrhal poison.
Stuarf s Catarrh Tablets . are large,
pleasant tasting lozenges taken Internally,
allowing them to dissolve slowly in tho
mouth, in this way they reach the throat,
fcuces and the entire alimentary canaL
If desired, they may also be dissolved in
water and used as a douche, in addition to
the internal use, but it is not at all neces
sary to use t- douche; a few of them dis
solved In tho mouth dally will be sufficient-
However, -when thero Is much stop
page of the nose, a douche made from
these tablets will give Immediate relief,
but the regular dally use Internally of
these tablets will cure the whole catar-
rhal trouble without resorUng to the ln
cenvenience of a douche.
Dr. Bement states "That the Internal
treatment for catarrh Is raipdly taking
tho place of the old plan of douching and
local application, and further says that
probably the best and certainly the safest
remedy at present on the market is Stu
art's Catarrh Tablets, as no secret Is made
of their composition, and all the really
efficient remedies for catarrh are con
tained in this tablet."
Druggists sell Stuart's Catarrh Tablets
at fifty cents for full-sized packages. Ask
your druggist, and if he is honest, he will
ten you there Is no safer, more palatable,
more efficient an-1 convenient remedy on
J the market.

Miss Desste Orenan, Shaw, Or.
I had a discharge from the right ear
since an attack of scarlet fever in
childhood. Doctors seemingly could do
nothing for me, and we were greatly
discouraged. I placed mysjf under
the care of Drs. Copeland & Mont
gomery. They cured me permanently.
Since my treatment three years ago.
I have had no trouble.
Mr. 31. 31. Jackson, Saginaw,
Or. When I" began treatment with
Drs. Copeland & Montgomery I did
not think I would ever be well, for I
had every symptom of consumption.
I was nothing but akin and bone, had
a terrible cough, night-sweats and
soreness through the lungs. Every
thing I ate distressed me. and I was
too weak to work.
I sent for a symptom blank and be

length, touched upon the race quesUon in
the following terms:
"What the Southerners must have Is
peace at home, and Jointly with the rest
of the Nation, international neace. There
j U but one unsettled 'problem peculiar, to
' that section, commonly called the negro
. question. The South understands It. and.
If left alone, it will be settled rightly and
Justly, in a Christian spirit. The natural
friendship between whites and blacks of
j long standing (with no Idea of social
equality) Is well known to those at all
I familiar with the subject. The best friend
of the black race Is the white race of tho
' South. The future welfare and develop
ment of the former rests upon the absence
of conflict between the two. Let no Amer-
lean clUzen who loves his country be a
1 party to sUmulating a war of the races."

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know IIoit Useful it Is
in Preserving Health and Beauty.
Nearly everybody knows that charcoal
Is the safest and most efficient disinfect-,
ant and purifier In nature, but few real,
lze its value when taken into the human
system for the same cleansing purpose.
Charcoal Is a remedy that the more you
take ot it the better; it is not a drug at
all, but simply absorbs the gases and Im
purities always present In' the stomach,
and intestines and carries them out ot
the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking, or after eating onions
and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually cleara and im
proves the complexion, it whitens the
teeth and further acts as a natural and
eminently safe cathartic.
It absorbs the injurious gases whiaa
collect In the stomach and bowels; It dis
Infects the mouth and throat from tha
poison of catarrh.
All drugglsta sell charcoal in one form,
or another, but probably the best char
coal and the most for the money Is la
Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges; they aro
composed of 'the finest powdered Willow
charcoal, and other harmless antiseptics
In tablet form or rather in the form ot
large, pleasant tasting lozenges, tha
charcoal being mixed with honey.
The dally use of these lozenges will
soon tell In a much improved condition
of the general health, better complexion,"
sweeter breath and purer blood, and tha
beauty of It Is, that no possible harm can
result from their continued use, but on
the contrary, great benefit.
A Buffalo physician in speaking of tha
benefits ot charcoal, says: "I advise
Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges to all pai
tlents suffering from gas in stomach and
bowels, and to clear the complexion and
purify the breath, mouth and throat: I
also believe the liver is greatly benefited
by the dally use of them; they cost but
twenty-five cents a box at drug stores,
and although In some sense a patent
preparation, yet I believe I get more and
better charcoal in Stuart's Absorbent
Lozenges than in any of the ordlnarx
charcoal tablets." . '
