both ends of the capitol, Speaker Reed
in the honse and Vice-President Hobart
in the senate, dropped their gavels and

snapping from the flagstaff's.
At the capitol crowds swarmed the
corridor at an early hoar and choked the
marble steps as they ascended to the
galleries from which they were to view
the show. As is usual on such occasions,
the reserved galleries were carefully
guarded, admission being only by card,
' and the public had great difficulty in
wedging themselves into the small space

In the Upper Rouse.
Washington, Dec. 6. The senate
chamber at the opening session today
was a veritable conservatory. The dorai
display was beautiful. Precisely, atf 12
o'clock the gavel of Vice-President Ho
bart fell and the house was called to or
der. An invocation was x delivered by
Kev. Milburn, the blind chaplain. Seventy-seven
Senators responded on roll
call. Allison of Iowa presented a resolution
that a committee of vtwo senators be ap
pointad to join a like committee from
the house to inform the president that
congress was in session, and prepared to
receive any . onimunication he might
desire to make. The resolution was
passed and the vice-president appointed
Allison and Gorman as the senate com
mittee! By resolution of Cullom of Illinois, the
time ot the daily meeting of the senate

ported. The president's message was
presented bv Mr. Pruden at 1 :30 o'clock.
and was laid before the senate and read.
In the Lover Honse. .
Washington, Dec. 6. The hoase of
representatives presented an animated
appearance long before noon. The sur
rounding corridors ": were filled with
moving, jostling crowds before 11 o'clock.
The galleries which overlooked the floor
were black with people. Floral tributes
for members were numerous, and in
some instances imposing.
As the bands of the clock pointed to
12 :00, Speaker Reed, attired in a black
I was troubled for a long
time with a sore wrist; some-;
thing the doctors termed an
open vein. It would break
and the blood would flow in
a stream from it, and I could
find nothing that, wniilri VipsiI
it until I tried vour Happy
anougnt. oaiye. A small
quantity healed it un nicelv.
In fact it has been well and
showed no signs of breaking
for over three months, so I
feel it has done perfect work.

gavel subdued the din on the floor and
conversation in the gallerie?, In the
deep eilence which followed the calling
of the assemblage to order, prayer was
offered by the eminent divine, Rev. C.
A. Boney of England, who delivered an
invocation solemn and impressive.

55 vacancies from death or resignation

of members elect were read by direction
of the speaker, who then administered
the oath of office to them.
On motion of Dingley a resolution
was adopted for the appointment of a
committee of three to join the senate
committee to wait upon the president

sion. Mr. Pruden, who had followed the
committee into the hall, immediately
presented the message, which, by di
rection of the speaker, was read at the
clerk's desk.
Beware of Oinment for Catarrh that'
Contain Mercury,
As mercury will surely destroy the sense
of smell and c mpletely derange the
whole system when entering it through
the mucous surfaces. Such articles
should never be used except on prescrip
tions from reputable physicians, as the
damage they will do is ten fold to the
good you can possibly derive from them.
Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by
F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, O., contains
no mercury, and is taken internally, act
ing directly upon the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system.: In buying Hall's
Catarrh Cure be sure you get the gen
uine." It is taken-internally, and made
in Toledo, Ohio, by F. J. Cheney & Co.

How to Prevent Pneumonia.
; At this time of the year a cold is very
easily contracted, and if left to run its
course without the aid ot some reliable
cough medicine is liable to result in that
dread disease, pneumonia. We know f
no better lemedy to cure a cough or cold
than Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
We have used it quite extensively and it
has always given entire satisfaction
Olagab, Ind. Ter'. Chief.
This is the only remedy that is knowu
to be a certain preventive of pneumonia.
Among the many thousands who have
used it for colds and la grippe, we have
not yet learned of a single case having re
suited in pneumonia. Persons who have
weak lungs or have reason to fear an at
tack of pneumona, should keep the
remedy at hand. The 25 and 50 cent
sizes for sale bv Blakeley & Houghton.
Ahead of the Old Record.
Nsw Yobk, Dep. 6. A majority of rid
ers in the big bicycle race at Madison
Square Garden are still , peddling away
on-their long journey.
Five wheelers quit during the night.
Fred Foster got a spill and retired. Ti
tus gave way under the strain, and Cart
wright also dropped outjabout 10 o'clock,
leaving only thirty in the race.
At 11 o'clock the leaders were still
keeping up the fast pace, nearly twenty-
one miles per hour. At noon Schoch
dropped out. At 1 o'clock the record
had been clipped to 28 miles. Walters
was leading by a mile. The best pre
vious record was made by Beading last
year. Eleven men are now ahead of
the record.
Something? to Know.
It-may be worth something to know
that the very oest medicine for restoring
the tired out nervous system to a
healthy vigor is Electric Bitters. This
medicine is purely vegetable, acts by
giving tone to the nerve centers in the
stomach, gently' stimulates the Liver
and Kidneys, and aids these organs in
throwing off impurities in the blood.
Electric Bitters improves the appetite,
aids digestion, and is ' pronounced, by
those who have tried it as the very best
blood purifier and nerve tonic. Try it.
