THE COLUMBIAN, BLOOMSBUtQffi 3 WASHINGTON from our K.-t'.'it.ir Correspondent. Washington, I). C, May 4, KjoH. Senator Culberson, Democratic leu'ler of the Senate, i.s making nn earnest effort in the closing hours of the session to secure action by the Republican majority on some measure winch he regards as of vital importance tithe welfare ol the people and, it lie can secure t lie hearty co-ojvration of ' his party colleagues, the next weeks of Con gress may witness filibusters at both tiuls of the Capitol with j o sibly a j o.it poneineiit of the final date of adjournment. The four measures on which the Senator from Texas will ta' e his stand, provided always he finds he can re ly on the co-operation of his col leagues, are the Overman anti-injunction bill, which has already passed the Senate, the Fulton bill, which is a Republican measure, and which provides that the Inter state Commerce Commission shall pass on the reasonableness of all proposed increases of railway freight rates; the campaign publicity bill, and the Culberson bill which pro vides that railways must furnish a sufficient number of cars to supply the needs of shippers. Unfortu nately there is some question as to how far Mr. Culberson's colleagues will stand by him in the proposed programme. Many of them are anxious to get away from Wash ington and two, at least, have indi cated that they will do nothing which would materially prolong the session. In the House, John Sharp Wil hams, the Democratic leader is putting the Republicans in a worse hole than ever nnd there is reason to believe that as a result of his tactics some of them will find their re-election a most difficult proposi tion. Recently the Demociatic leader caused to be brought into the House a small table, provided with pens and ink. and placed it before the Speaker s desk. On the table he placed the petition signed by all the Democratic members praying the Speaker to permit the bill re moving the duty on wood pulp to come to a vote. Mr. Williams, in an eloquent speech, besought the Republicans, at least thirty of them, to sign the petition so that the Speaker would be compelled at least to submit the question to a caucus of the House. He reminded them that this legislation had been n c- oiiiinended by President Roosevelt in the most earnest terms, that it was approved of by their prospec tive presidential candidate, Secreta ry Taft, and that it had the unani mous support of newspaper publish ers m all parts of the country. But the Republicans greeted his elo quence with laughter and jeers and refused to add one signature to the petition. A peculiar drama is being enact ed by Senator Aldrich and Speaker Cannon with regard to the financial legislation recommended by the President. The House has indicat ed its great unwillingness to pass the Aldrich bill, but Mr. Cannon has promised that it shall, and be is carefully making his preparations to coerce the majority into doing his bidding. He has caused the Public Buildine bill, popularly known as the "Pork Bar'l." to be held up and he will not permit its nnal passage until the majority have voted as he tells them to on the financial bi'.l. The Public Build ing bill contains provision for post offices, customs houses and similar buildings which will reach an ag gregate cost of 42o.ooo.ooo. The passage of this bill is of vital lm Rortance to some members and its failure would probably defeat cer tain members when they stand for re-election. They dare not do any thing to defeat the measure and consequently it seems probable that I)eafues8 Cannot be Cured by local applications, as thev can not reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by con stitutional lcinvdies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the'Kustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or im perfect hearing, and when it i.s en tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will he destroyed forever; nine cases out pf ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition f the mucous surfaces. , We will give One Hundred Dol lars for auy case of Deafness (caus ed by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh cure.

ALL DRUCCISTSl BOO. AND $1.00. Mr. Cannon will be able to drive them ultimately into accepting the Aldtich bill, whether they like it or not. Of rourse Mr. Cannon has the advantage of standing with the rresKlent onltlie Aldrich bill, for Mr. Rojsevelt realizes that it is the only financial measure which can b passed and he thinks it would be ctimmal to risk another financial stringency with no provision for an emergency currency. In the opinion of some prominent Democrats the Bryan boom has re ceived something of a setback re cently and they are anxiously awaiUng the developments of the next few weeks. Frederick B. Lynch, treasurer ol the Minnesota Democratic committee, and head of the Johnson boom in Chicago, was in Washington last week working like a Trojan for his hero. Mr. Lynch has held a number of con ferences with Southern and Kastern Democrats and he declares that "all of the New England states, New ork, Pennsylvania, and all of the coast and gulf states with the ex ception of Alabama, Mississippi and lexas, will send uninstructed dele gates to Denver. Included in this list will be Michigan, Ohio and the West coast stales." Mr. Lynch, replying to a question, said, "I am confident that considerably less than half of the delegates will be m- struc'.ed for Mr. Brjan and while I am not claiming that all who are uninstructed will be for Governor Johnson, I am confident that he will have a majority of the unin structed delegates." Mr. Lynch said he believed there would be nearly 500 delegates against Bryan on the first ballot. President Roosevelt is trying hard to figure that he won a victory on the battleship vote in the Senate. when his recommendation ot tour battleships was turned down but the leaders did commit themselves to a programme of two new battle ships a year. The fact is that Sen ator Bevendge made such a too.isn, jingo speech in favor of the four battleship amendment that some Senators voted against it who would have liked to do otherwise. They felt that after the Beveridge speech a vote for four ships would be tak en by foreign nations, and especial ly by Japan, as an endorsement ot Beveridge's absurd and frothy dec lamation. Flies and Mignonette. "For those who object to wire netting in the windows during the summer, a new idea has been found to prevent flies and such annoying pests from entering the house. This preventative is a window-box of mignonette. It seems that the insects do not care to face the odor of this charming flower, so that it is an effectual barrier against their invasion. It sounds like a very pretty idea, and we may expect to see ugly wire screens entirely dis carded and the windows decorated with dainty boxes filled with the sweet blossoms." The above is clipped from an ex change, but we don't take any stock in it. The mignonette scheme may work all right early in the season, but later on when the flies wake up, the old wire screens will go in just the same. A fly can revel in a manure heap and feast on carrion of the rankest kind, and it is absurd to t av that he will turn his nose up at a sweet little flower. ' Mignonette i.s all right in its place, but don't depend on it to keep the flies out. FOR Neuralgia. Sciatica. .Rheumatism. Backache. Pain in chest Distress in stomach.

Tho lobby of the Snco court room has Its usual number of story tellers. A venerable member of the bar told the following story recently: A young lawyer of the village of Marshfleld onco came to Daniel Webster and asked him what he had better study to build himself up In his profession. "Turnip seed," was tho laconic reply. The disciple of Plaekstone followed his advice. He studied up everything t!iat boro upon the su'jject of turnips, until he be came a master of the principles of that vegetable. A year or two af terward a neighboring farmer origi nated a new turnip, from the sale of whose seed be expected to make a fortune. Another neighbor began to raise and sell tho same seed and a lawsuit resulted. Tho o-iginator of the seed came to retain Webster to prosecute the case. Webster re plied: "I am not as well booked up on turnips as I ought to be, but there Is a young fellow over at the village who knows all about them. Go and get him. He will win your case." The farmer posted off and engaged tlm. When the trial came off the lawyer, astonished the Judge, Jury, and audience, by his profound learn ing on the subject of turnips. The case was triumphantly won, and the young lawyer started on the road to fame and fortune. Lewlstou (Me.) Journal. Thumb Dells.
