CONTESTED SEATS IN THE HOUSE When the new congress meets, whether regular in December, or ear lier in called session, there will be at least sixteen contests over seats in the house of representatives. Nearly all o them are in southern districts, anil in nearly every case it is the Democrat who holds the certificate of election. This fact will intensify a naturally partisan bitterness, and make the already complicated south ern problem still more complicated and tangled. "With a small Eepubli can majority in the house, there will, of course, be a temptation to increase it as much as possible, while on the other hand the Democrats will be tempted to resort to all sorts of part isan deuces to defeat the Republican contestants without regard to reason or justice. The Republicans, however, are de termined that every case shall be de emed on its merits, in several con tests, notably the two in "West Vir ginia, the evidence is so overwhelm ingly in favor of the Republicans that no valid reason can be furnished why the two Bourbons from that state whose seats are contested should re tain their places. But in these in stances, as in others, the Republicans will act deliberately and fairly. But no cry of "resurrecting the bloody shirt"' or "reviving the passions and prejudices of the war era" will lie able to determine Republicans from doing full and exact justice in every in stance. "We have come to a point in our history when the safety of our in stitutions requires that men whose cer tificates of election to seats in the house of repesentatives have been secured by bulldozing and fraud should be de nied the seats thus obtained; and the sooner the south finds that it must deal fairly if it desires representation. the sooner the "southern problem" will reach a settlement. Ill VCR STEAM EltS. There is no doubt, says Friday's Telegram, but during the next year there will be considerable boat build ing here. Several of the O. K. k N. Co.'s steamers will soon be too old to run and then they must be replaced by new ones. Some time ago the Dixie Thompson was condemned, and the company appealed to the inspect ors to grant them papers to run her as a tow boat. Yesterday an inspec tion was made, but her hull was found to be so rotten that the request was refused. Her machinery was all right, though, and will be taken out for fu ture use. There are several other boats which will now be laid on the shelf. Thev are the Occident, Cham pion and the Willamette Chhf. It is thought that none of them will be able to run a year longer unless re built. The Alice is laid up at the bonevard. haviner been dismantled some time. The O. R. & N. Co.'s steamer Moun tain Queen will be put on the ways at once in Steffen's yard to be rebuilt. The contract has been let. "When she comes out again she will have parted with her stern wheel, and her future movements will ue made with side wheels. Though not so fine a boat by far, she will be in general very much similar to the T. J. Potter, and when done, will be taken around to the Sound, where, it is likely she will remain. She will have a length over all of 200 feet, with a thirty-one foot six inch beam, and a depth of hold of eleven feet Some of the old upper work will be used, as well as the boilers and part of the macliinery, which is about as good as new. The Queen will be a very strong craft built by the most approved methods. It "is likely that when she again strikes the water a new name will be given her. She will be com pleted by the middle of November, and will be worth about 75,000. The propeller steamer Wasco, which was to have been taken aronud to the Sound, will not go now. She is soon to be sold by ex-Governor Moody, administrator o the estate of the late Mr. Savage, The Dalles capitalist, who held a mortgage on her for a large sum. It was stated sometime since that she was not taken to the Sound because her owners refused to put masts on her. It is now known that the administrator refused to let her go. A Scrap ofraper Saves Her J-ifc It was just an ordinary scrap of wrap ping paper, but it saved her life. She was in the last stages of consumption, told by physicians that she was incura ble and could live only a short time; lic weighed les than seventy pounds. On a piece of wrapping paper she read of Dr. King's New Discovery, and got a sample bottle; it helped her, she bought a larger bottle, it helped her more, bought another and grew better fast, continued its use and is now strong, healthy, rosy, plump, weighing 140 pounds.

CtiililreuCryforPitcWsCastoria Out of jthe Fire Tormented icith Salt Rheum Cured by Hood's Sarsaparilla. Only those who have suffered from salt rheum in Its worst form know "tho agonies caused by this disease. Hood's Sarsapa- rilla has had great success in curing salt rheum, and all affections of the blood. " I owe the gratitude to Hood's Sarsapa rilla that one would to hjs rescuer from a Burning Building with Bait rheum, and had to leave off work altogether. My face, about the eyes, would be swollen and scabbed, my hands and a part of my body would be raw sores for weeks at a time, my flesh would seem so rotted that I could roll pieces from between my fingers as large as a pea. One physician called it type DSeon and gave me medicine accord- rUloUll lngly; but salt rheum cannot be cured jn that way. Finally I bought a bottle of Hood's Sarsaparilla. It helped me so much that I took two more bottles, and was Entirely Cured U with salt rheum since. I also used Hood's Olive Ointment on the places affected. It stops the burning and itching sensation im mediately. I will recommend Hood's Sar saparilla not only for salt rheum, but for SS Loss of Appetite 'all-gone' feeling so -often experienced." A. D.

He had read in the Record Union that a hot wave was coming, and wanted to get out of. the wav. "When he jumped the train at Placerville the mercury marked 100, but the hot wave trav eled faster than the cars, and when Stevens got to Shingle Springs it was lQi . The hot wave stayed with him, and when he looked at the Folsom weather indicator he began to wish he had stayed in Placerville, but he pushed westward. At Brighton he got off the cars and sought the thermometer, and was nearly paralyzed when he saw the 114' mark trying to hold down themercury. Sacramento Record Union, July 30. HE TOOK THE 1VRONG MEDICINE. Robert Stewart, of Tctalumn, recently had a queer experience. Ho writes: "Carbuncles and boils afflicted my face and neck for weeks. Finally I procured a bottle of one- of the' leading sarsaparillas. To my surprise- It made matters worse. This made- mo loso faith in Barsapanllas, but seeing a Etatement that Joy's Vegetable- Sarsaparilla dried up boils and face- eruptions instead of forcing more out as tho potash sarsaparillas do, I bought a bottle. The effect was aston ishing. The carbuncles and boils began to dry up, and in two weeks my f aco va. is well and Einooth'asevcr. Mybrotberalso took abottlo with tho same benflnt. Robert Stewart, "Petalumo, CaL" (Explanatory Note Tho mineral iodide of potash, which is tho basis ot ueariy all other Barsaparillas, attacks tho blood direct, hence forces impurities through tho fikln, creating more bolls and -pimples. Joy's Vegetable Par raparilla acts oppositely. Its vegetable alter atives stimulate tho various secretive organs and thus eliminate all impurities through tho natural channels, hence urie3 up pimples and Bkin eruptions at once.
