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. For fuller particulars send
stamp to V. II. Cole, Druggist, Fort
Smith. Trial Bottles of this wonderful

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. Robuixs, Jamaica Plain, Mass.

parilla, do not be induced to buy any other.

Conldn't Head OffThe Hot Wave.
Thomas Stephens came down from
Placerville yesterday. 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.
