SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM SENATE OPINION DIFFERS WIDELY Many Changes Likely to Be Made in Tarifi Bill. AT VARIANCE ON LUMBER 8enators From Maine and Pacific Northwest Will Resist Any Reduc- tlon of Duty, While Minnesota and Dakota Members Desire It Put on Free Llst—Strong Opposition to In- heritance Tax in Upper House. ‘Washington, March 2).—That there twill be a great variety of opinions on Rhe tariff bill when it reaches the sen- ate 18 now certain, according to ex- pressions of senators in whose states are located the various industries chiefly affected by the changes of chedules proposed in the house bill. Reductions on lumber schedules will Ps sturdily resisted by Senators Frye jand Hale of Maine and by some of the @enators from the Pacific coast and }kum the extreme Northwest. Sena- tors from Minnesota and North .and jSouth Dakota, on the other hand, will anake a strenuous effort to secure free umber, instead of the mere reduction ot the tarlff as proposed by the house 1. The proposed inheritance tax will {be stoutly resisted and senators will have an opportunity to vote upon an amendment providing for an income jax. Free coal and hides also will be ‘resisted and there is likely to be a strong fight against reductions in the verious iron and steel schedules. ‘While the general trend of senti- #anent among senators favors an in- fcrease fn some of the schedules and jWhile they generally believe that the Mouse has made ample reductions to lsatisty tarlff -reformers at least one Republican senator, Mr. Cummins of ‘Iows, declares that the tariff should be made still lower and that he will dv everything in his power to obtain turther reductions. Minnesota Delegation United. | The entire Minnesota delegation has isteadily taken a leading part in advo- ¢iting a reduction in the iron and steel schedule and in the procurement fof free coal and free lumber and the senators from that state will continue ‘to advocate that course, as well as to obtain a lower tariff on glass. It is declared that Minnesota, North Da- kota and South Dakota have nothing to fear from free lumber, while they are anxious to obtain entrance into the Canadian market, which now has & duty on lumber from the United Btates. The lumbermen of these states hope, by a removal of the duty .on lumber, eventually to obtain a sim- tlar concession from the Canadian gov- ernment and they claim that the price ‘of their product would not be changed by a removal of the tariff. Senator Frye of Maine says that the removal of the duty from wood pulp ill transfer that industry to Canada and states that the 10,000 men now employed in the wood pulp and paper business in Maine would be placed in '!orced idleness. These industries, he mald, represent $70,000,000 in capital. ‘With free hides he believed the 40 per gent reduction in the boot and shoe ‘Hohedwles would be falrly acceptable. Senator McCumber of North Dakota declared himself in favor of free lum- er and a tariff on hides and insisted at the inheritance tax was all right. Benator Aldrich, chairman of the committee on finance, 18 giving great | attention to the tariff bill and it is well known that he is fully convinced that many changes must be made in drder to make the bill acceptable to the sedate. TARIFF BILL IS CALLED UP Measure Read at Length in Committee of Whole House. ‘Washington, March 2)—When the house reconvened Mr. Payne called mp the tarift bill, which was read at| flength in committee of the whole | house. The designation by the speak- ‘er of Mr. Olmstead of Pennsylvania ‘88 ohairman of the committee while he tarift bill s under consideration jelicited Republican applause. Mr. Payne announced that general debate on the bill would begin Mon- ‘day. | Mr. Sims (Tenn.) inquired of the Cbair the reason for reading the bill fwhen no one was paying attention. The chair reminded him that the fules required such procedure unless p;y unanfmous consent the reading was dispensed with. “Then,” said Mr. Sims, “to end this farce I move that the further reading _/be dispensed with.” | “I object,” shouted Mr. Payne in a }loufl voice, and the clerk proceeded.

The number of diseases peculiar to women is such that we believe this space would hardly contain a mere mention of their pames, and it is a fact that most of these dis- eases are of a catarrhal nature. A woman cannot be well if thereis a trace of catarrhal germs in her sys- tem. Some women think there isno help for them. We positively declare this to be a mistaken idea. We are so sure of this that we offer to supply medicine absolutely free -of all cost in every instance where it fails to give entire satisfaction - or .does not substantiate our claims. Wilh this understanding, no' woman -should hesitate to believe ‘our honesty of of purpose, or hesitate to put our claims to a test. There is only one way to cure catarrah. That way is through the blood. You may use all the snuffs, douches or like remedies: for years without getting more than tempor- ary relief at best. Catarrah is caused bya germ. The germ is carried by the blood -to theinner- most part of the system until the mucous membrane is broken, irrita- tion and inflammation produced, and a flow of mucous results; and you can probably realize how silly it is to attempt to cure such -an ailment unless -you take a medicine that follows the same course as the germ or parasite. Rexall Mucu-Tone is scientifical- ly prepared from the prescription of an eminent physician who for thirty years made his specialty. averaged 98 per cent of cures where it was employed. "No other remedy. is so properly designed for the ail- ments of women. It will purify and enrich the blood. stop mucous discharge, destroy all germ matter, remove oll impurities from the sys-| tem, soothe, heal and strengthen the mucous tissues, and bring about a good feeling of health and strength. We want you to try Rexall M:ggu Fone on our guarantee. If you are not benefitted, or for any reason not band back your money. Rexall’ Mucu-Tone “conies in two sizes; 50c, and $1.00.

Sharon, Pa., March 2)—Notwith- standing & rigid search lasting all night by many officers in Western Pennsylvania, Eastern Ohio and West Virginia no trace has yet been found of the man or men who kidnapped ‘Willlam ‘Whitla, eight years old, son of James P. Whitla, a prominent and wealthy attorney. The lad’s relatives, some of whom are millionaires, are making every possible effort to locate the child and his abductors. Frank H. Buhl, the millionaire iron and steel man,- uncle of the kidnapped boy, has stated he would spend $100,000 to recover the boy. No decision has yet or can be made regarding the ransom of $10,000 de- manded by the kidnappers for the safe return of the child. Mr. Whitla imme- diately complied with the terms con- tained in' the letter received from the men in so far as the insertion of an advertisement in various papers about the country is concerned. Tht adver- iisement 18 to the effect he is willing to pay the ransom of $10,000, but so far no word had been received from the kidnappers as to when and where this money is to be pald. A squad of Pennsylvania state con- stabulary has redched here from Punx- sutawney, Pa., for the purpose of as- sisting in the search. BANK ROBBERS HOLD POPULAGE IN TERROR Partially Wreck Bullding bul Fail fo Open Safe. e Bald Knob, Ark., March 2)—While some of their number rode about, the streets discharging their weapons and holding the populace in terror others of a band of robbers worked for more than an‘hour in an unsuccessful effort to dynamite their way into the vault of the bank at Bald Knob. They ahandoned their task after firing near- ly a score of blasts, which demol- ished the outer door of the safe but ‘without forcing the inner doors. One citizen was wounded in the parting fusillade of the band as they rode away. As citizens emerged from their houses when the first explosion oc- curred they were greeted by the bul- lets of the outposts and quickly ran to shelter, while the robbers held un- disputed sway, keeping up an almost continuous fire and taking chance shots at any who came within range. In_the meanwhile those at_work in the “bank bullding contintied t6 ex- plode dynamite, but, as it proved, with 1ittle success other than to partially ck the bullding as well as an ad- ing) structure. MORE EMPLOYES QUIT WORK Only Ghange in Strike Situation In an” Panls, March 2(.—There is no mate- rial change in the situation brought about by the strike of the government telegraph and postoffice employes, ex- cepting the fact that the number of strikers has been largely increased. The goyernment, with the aid of mil- itary telegraphers and soldlers acting ag letter carriers, has been successful in securing a semblance. of resump- tion in all branches of the servicé. - | Squads of soldlers have been de- talled to act as rallroad mail clerks and in all' about 4,000 of the military are at work. In the provinces the strike is con- stantly securing now adherents and in many large centers it-is complete. The strike leaders claim that vie- tory is within their grasp. Business' houses are using special messenger servige to.maintain com- munication with the provinces as well as to points outside of France. The government has prepared a bill to extend the time on financial papers until the state services again are nor- 1nal. INDIANS REPORTED STARVING Redskins in California Resort to Cat- tle ‘Stealing.
