He sees enough drunkenness to realize that Liquor is an evil. - He hears enough of the misery and crime 1t causes to recognize its insidiousness. Still he does not fear it. Most men, proud in the knowledge of forceful will-power, imagine they are too strong to ever get in Whisky’s clutches. Every drunkard has thought that; every man who clinks his social glass with his comrades is certain of his mastery over the poison. But when he tries to stop! This is the time that the Whisky Bottle’s fateful fascination exerts itself Those daily drinks created the appetite; that tippling; 11_a<.sown the seeds of desire which is disease.

The newly | chosen jeader responded in an address, nking the -caucus. The nominees of the caucus are as fol- lows: Charles E. Edwards, Texas, for clerk of the House: E. V.

Williams offered a resolution, which was adopted, providing that the Democrats pe | allowed one more representative on the | Ways and Means Committee, and that the Democrats be given the same rep- { resentations that they had on commit- | tees in the Fifty-sixth Congress. iker of New York proposed the fol- | ing resolution, which was referred to | lil committe Resolved, That, regardiess of the practice | of the Republicans, it is the sense of the cau- | cus that its members do not accept passes or | fav from the railroads. g | CANNON CHOSEN SPEAKER. b Republicans of tilrefifiouse Caucus and | Select Officers. WASHINGTON, Nov. 7.—At the caucus | of the Republican members of the House | | of Representatives held in the hall of the | | House to-night Joseph G. Cannon of Tlli- | | nois was unanimously chosen as the can. | didate of the majority as Speaker of the House. , This action assures his election | on Monday. Representative Hepburn of lowa was elected presiding officer of the | caucus, and Loudenslager of New Jersey secretary. The roll call showed 180 mem- | bers present. Representative Dalziell of | Pennsylvania placed Mr. Cannon in nom- inations. After Representative Sherman | of New York had seconded it the selection was made unanimous. Mr. Cannon ad- dressing the caucus said: “Almost continyous service in the House | for twenty-eight years, sometimes in.the | majority and sometimes in the minority, has made me proud of the House of Rep- | | resentatives and proud of the people who ake it, by their direct vote, every two | vears. It is a representative body, voic- | | Ing the policy of the majority and legis- | lating for all the people. “The Republican party stands for those policles that have in the main prevailed since 1861, under. which in forty years from a comparatively small nation we have | grown to be first among the nations of | the earth; and sovereignty with us is the | people. The Republican party, belng in | the majority, is responsible and is entitled | to the credit. | “Under these policies we enjoy material | well-being, exceeding that of any former | period in our existence. The people never were so well and profitably employed as now, and consumption of the product of each individual engaged In gainful occu- pation was never before s0 generous and profitable to all, at the same time leaving a surplus for future need in the shape of capital which is better distributed among the people and much larger in the | aggregate than ever before. “It is not strange, under these condi- tlons, that a comparatively small num- ber of people should seek to overcapital- ize the machinery of production and ex- change. But the refusal of the multitude to invest its savings in suchb-overcapital- ization has destroyed fictitious values and e recovery from local indigestion aris- ing from consumption of wind and water is assured. . “Needed legislation was fairly enacted under the lead of the Republican party by the last Congress and the laws of the country are being enforced by the execu- tive as the constitution contemplated by wise administration and through the courts. . “Under these conditions, in my judg- | ment, our policy should be to consider and enact proper legislation covering the | conventfon for reciprocal trade between the United States and Cuba; to make generous, not extravagant, appropriations at the regular sesslon of Congress for the public service; then to adjourn and re- turn to our homes, and the people, set- | | | | by | my best efforts to BRYAN TO ACT 13 EXECUTOR Opposing. Counse! Bit- terly Oppose the Nebraskan. 'Attorneys Will Confer as to the Decree in Be:- nett Cace. —_— i Conn., Nov. 7.—In the | to-day Willlam J. Bryan | was admitted to act as executor of the will of Philo 8. Bennett, an objection to | him made by Mrs. Bennett's counsel being | | overruled. The amount of the -bond was | fixed at $350,000. Counsel on both | indicated that an appeal will be taken. i tlon from Judge Cleaveland, who presided, las to whether co el de inn the form of the decree to be enterad | in the case. After some di sion it was | agreed that a conference bt | on both sides early next week | termine the form of aecree to & | ted to the court for approval. | Judze Stoddara asked if ,Yunm for the | | executors would state definftely whether Bryan intended to qualify an executor. | Mr. 'Newton, counsel for Mr. Bryap, | satd ‘that Mr. Bryan intended to qualify | and to act as executor “Then I want to know further,” sald | Judge Stoddard, “if Mr. Bryan intends to | take an appeal from the decision of your | Honor.” | | Mr. ewton—That we chall decide in due time. - “Then 1 enter protest now against Mr. | | Bryan as executor,” said Judge Stod- | dara. . | Mr. Newton answered | not appeal from the admis "lu probate. Whether he wiil appeal on | the court's decision to exclude the sealed | Tetter he is not req i to state now.” | Mr. Stoddard then began a speech of | further protest and explanation, saying: { “Your Homor has decided that that | sealed letter Is not 2 part of the will. We | shall insist upon the performance of his duty as executor if Mr. Bryan is to act as such. He cannot serve two masters in | this manner. If he intends to uphold the | 1aw as your Honor has spoken it in your Ir:evision, it will be contrary to the law Mr. Bryan will to undertake to deatroy that will. By | taking appeal from your decision Mr. | Bryan undertakes a course for the ad- | vantage of himself and his family. This | is a property affair. If that sealed letter is a part of the will Mr. Bryan's family | have a property interest, and unless by some formal remunciation he puts bevond peradventure the question of whether he will try to take advantage of that sealed letter he may also be considered to claim a property interest. It Is also utterly in- | consistent for Mr. Bryan to act as ex- ecutor and at the same time take an ap- peal from the court's decision. If your | Honor should hold that that is law, I shall advise my clients to take an appeal | to_test that matier. | Mr. Newton contended that Mr. Bryan's | duty as executor in 1o way conflicted with | hig other. duty under the will. Judge Cleaveland ruled that he had no | to prevent Mr. Bryan from. qualifying as | executor. When the amount of the bond was broached Mr. Bryan said to thelcourt: “The-amount of the estate is on its face | value about $302,000.” ————— | PRINCE VON ARENBERG MAY BE PARDONED | Friends Seek to Have Him Released | on the Ground of In- | sanity. BERLIN, Nov. 7.—The transfer of Prince Prosper von Arenberg from the prison in Hanover to the asylum for criminal insane at Moabit is by many | thought to signify that he may in a very short time be officially pardoned. The Prince, who belongs to one of the most -prominent familles of the empire, was several years ago sentenced to a life term in the penitentiary for murders which he | had committed in German Africa. During the first month of his imprisonment in the State Prison of Han- means of having him declared insane, and they have now succeeded in part. though they have always thought that he would be transferred to a private sanitarium, The privileges given to the Prince during h.s fmprisonment were of such a nature | that he was practically allowed full freedom inside the prison gates and that circumstance has caused several violent attacks upon the Government by the So- | clalistic press. @ il fefeieinied @ | ring this distinction upon me. I pledge ustify your confidence | and I ask your -operation, ~without | which I cannct hope to succeed.” A resolution was adopted making the elective offices of the House in the last | Cqngress the nominees for the Fifty- eighth Congress. They are Alexander McDowell, clerk of the House; Herman | Cason, sergeant-at-ar Frank B. Lyon, ! doorkeeper; D. R. McElroy, postmaster; Rev. Henry D.

It was decided that fifty shall be the number required to call the caucus. e —————— ADVERTISEMENTS. THZ VALUE OF CHARCOAL. Few People Know How Useful It Is in Preserving Health and Beauty. Nearly everybody knows that charcoal 1 the safest and most efficlent disinfectant and pur- | ffier in nature, but few realize its value when | taken into the human system for the same cleansing purpose. Charcoal is a remedy that the more you take but of It the better: it 1s not a drug at all, #imply absorbs the gases and impurities present in the stomach and intestines rles them out of the system. Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking, drinking or after eating onlons and other odor- ous vegetables, Charcoal effectually clezrs and improves the complexion, 1t yhitens the teeth and further acts as a natural and eminently safe cathartic, It absorbs the injurious gases which collect in the stomach, and bowels; it disinfects the mouth and throat from the polson of catarrh. All druggists sell charcoal in one form or an- other, but probably the best charcoal and the most for the money is in Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges; they are composed of the finest pow. dered Willow charcoal, and other harmless an- tiseptics in tablet form or rather in the form of large. pleasant tasting lozenges, the charcoal being mixed with honey, The daily use of these lozenges will soon tell 1n @ much improved condition of the gen- eral heaith, better complexion, sweeter breath and purer blood, and the beauty of it fs that Bo possible harm can result from thelr con- tinued use, but on the contrary, great bement, A Buffalo physician, in speaking of the bene- fits of charcoal says 1 advise Stuurt's Ap. sorbent Lozenges to all patients suffering from ges in stomach and bowels, and to clear the complexion and purify the breath, mouth ang throat; I also belleve the liver is greatly bene- fited by the dally use of them; they cost but ting the seal of approval upon our action, will do the remainder, working out their own salvation. *I thank you for your action in confer- . | Court proceedings opened with a ques- | red to be heard | een counsel | on of the will | | discretion in the matter and had no right | Southwest | 3 | over his influential relatives tried every { | and Ovarian Pains.

LONDON, Nov. 7.—Those behind the scenes are saying that the publication of the late Queen Victoria’'s correspondence from 1837 to 1861, to which thousands of people. are looking forward, will prove a distinct disappointment to the majority. The King has “commanded” A. C. Ben- son, a son of the Archbishop of Canter- bury, to edit the work, and Mr. Benson, who is a master at Eton College, is leay- ing the famous school for good next month in order to devote himself to lit- erature. The King has carefully gone through the correspondence and many letters which might prove intensely interesting historically. but which might be embar- rassing to personages still living, will be held back for some historian of the future to deal with. ’ palatable in twenty-five cents a box at drug stors, and al- though in some sense a patent preparation, yer 1 believe 1 get more and better charcoal in Stuart’s Absorbent.
