OUR COUNTRY : First. Last and Forever.
Even Little Delnwnre is having its
Souatorinl troubles.
Cuius. Maokk says that, lie may
have something to say about the
Senatorship next wek. What can
he say ?
AN employment agent in Philadel
phia has committed suicide. What
about the mental condition of his
hundreds of victims ?
The inauguration of Governor
Stone, minus free liquor and cigars,
will present little attraction for the
average Schuylkill county statesman.
The Director of the Mint reports
the gold production of 1808 greater
thou 1897. The fears of a lack of the
yellow metal are but the fanciful
dreams of the free silverite.
The little coterie of Populistic
Democrats and Kepublicans who
were responsible for the outcome of
the Chicago convention in 189G, seem
to have determined to run their next
national show in the same way as the
last one. So be it.
Ex-Chairman Thomas-- V. Cooper
says Quay will be re-elected, and adds
that "he will get such Democratic
votes as he may need that's what he
is after." There is no doubt about
the latter statement. Even Schuyl
kill can furnish a portion of the re
quired quota.
Gov. Hastings in his annual
message recommends the prompt
payment to schools and institutions
of the state of moneys which have
been appropriated or set aside for
that purpose. This recommendation
should receive the hearty endorse
ment of the Legislature.
The Harrisburg Commonwealth as
serts that five Democratic members of
the House have positively declared
themselves as ready to vote for Quay
for Senator in case he needed their
votes in order to secure his re-election.
And how many will find it con
venient to be absent, if necessary t
In the scuffle for the United States
Senatorship everybody, but the ever
watchful sluth-hounds, had forgotten
John Wanamaker's reward of $20,-
000 and that of Senator Quay for
$10,000 for the arrest of bribers. Some
of the shrewdest detectives in the
state were at Harrisburg trying to
get a piece of the reward.
-The Kansas legislature has taken
the question of the regulation of
telegraph and express tolls within its
borders into its own hands and prom
ises a much lower figure than those
the companies have been charging.
There has been some little doubt ex
pressed as to the ability of the people
of this Commonwealth to enact laws
which are not too highly flavored
with populism, but success in this
direction should silence all such com
ment. If this state could only bor
row the legislature of Kansas for a
few weeks some long standing griev
ances of this kind might-be remedied.
It was very proper for Bishop
Nicholas, of the Orthodox Greek
Churoh, to urge his fellow believers to
bring up their children in the faith of
their fathers. But he grossly mis
states facts when in warning them
against our public schools he says the
education given in such schools in
this country makes thotve who attend
them come out of them not only with
out the fear of God, but without the
ordinary sense of shame. Sueh a
statement is a gross libel on the public
school system of our country. In
Christian character and the traits
which go towards making honorable
and upright oitiiens th graduates of
our public schools will compare favor
ably with those from any other
schools.

A Itcmnrknblo Cure.
Mr. Alexander Moore, a reliable busi
ness tnau, of 1230 S. 13th St., Philadel
phia. Pa., says: "I contracted a violeut
cold which settled all over me. The
pain iu rny chest and side was excruci
ating. The doctor gave me medicine
and blistered my side, but I ouly grew
worse. Then you gave ine a bottle of
Brazilian Balm. I had little or no faith
in it, but decided to try it. I took 3 or
4 good doses before bed time, and rubbed
it well over my blistered side. That
night I slept like a top my first good
rest for over a week and awoke in the
morning cured. Brazilian Balm is sim
ply invaluable."

no one was seriously hurt. NextTloor
to the hotel is the Alvln theater, where
the "Ping of the Cross Is being pro
duced. The audience packed the house
to the doors, and for a few morrfents
there was great danger of a serious
panic. A number of people left their
seats and rushed for the door, but the
perfect discipline of the employes and
the coolness of the actors prevented a
general stampede. After an Inter
ruption of about five minutes quiet was
restored and the play proceeded.

DELAWARE DEADLOCK ENDED.
TlioAddlokHCniulliliito DofVnted by the
Aid of Dmnooiut lc Votes.
Dover, Del., Jan. 7. The deadlock
which had been hanging In the Dela
ware house of representatives sfnee
Tuesday was broken yesterday, after
91 ballots had been taken, by electing
Theodore F. Clark, of Delaware City,
as speaker. Benjamin P. Sheppard, of
New Castle county, was elected clerk
on the first ballot. Andrew Esham was
elected sergeant-at-arma on the fifth
ballot. Hev. Joseph Brown Turner
(Presbyterian) was elected chaplain on
the fourth ballot.
The election of Clark Is a victory for
the regular Kepublicans, the faction
oppoed to J. Kdward Addlcks, and Is
therefore assumed to mean that the
"gas man" will not don the national
senatorial toga without a most bitter
struggle. Indeed, It Is generally be
lleved by his opponents that his can
didacy has had Its run, and that a man
upon whom all can unite and who has
no tectlon entanglements will be sent
to Washington.
Clark received five votes more than
hi opponent, William Tharp, the Ad
dicks candidate, the ballot being 18 to
13. But Clark's vote would have been
slim had It not been for the support of
the Democrats, ten of the twelve of
whom gave him their votes.

TUB ADAMS P01S0N1NG,
The I'cilloo Still llmillnir Clows, But
No A frost m lis Yot.
New York, Jan. 7. The World pub
lishes the following: These new points
were developed yesterday in tho pois
oning inystory: Professor Wltthaus
found that Kutnows powder wns mixed
with the cyanide of inerrury In the
falsp bromo seltzer bottle sent to Harry
Cornish the mixture which killed Mrs.
Adams.
This Is considered most Important, as
making absolutely certain that the
sender of the poison to Cornish was
one and the snmo with the Bender of
the cyanide of mercury to Harry Cor
mnti Barnet In a Kutnows powder box,
from the effects of which the latter
died. It leads to the presumption by
the police that some of the Kutnows
powder may even have been saved out
of the box sent to Barnet to be mixed
In the stuff sent to Cornish.
The wife of Itoland B. Mollneux is
now very 111. Her condition was de
scribed ns pitiable by her sisters. Mrs.
Mollneux received knowledge during
the day that the police had found a
letter signed "With love, Blanche,"
written by Mrs. Mollneux to Mr. Bar-
net, nnd that this letter had been sub
mitted to a handwriting expert for
comparison with the writing on the
package containing the holder nnd
false bromo seltzer bottle sent to Cor
nish. She became aware, also, that In
vestigations were being made Into her
past, her acquaintance with Barnet.
and her marriage to Mollneux.
Captain McClusky announced that
the 'letter In Mrs. Mollneux's hand
writing was an ordinary missive.
More discouraging for the police than
any development thus far was the fail
ure of the Newark false beard clew.
Young Mollneux was taken to Fischer,
me wig maker who sold a red wig to
a stranger shortly before Christmas.
Fischer declared flatly that Mollneux
was not his customer. The other New
ark wig maker, Zimmerman, also failed
to identify blm.
Further than this the case Is where It
stood a few days ago. The police havH
made no arrests.

HERMAN MISSIONARY MALTREATED,
An Hplsoilo In Climn Which Will
At'ouso the Ki'lser.
Berlin, Jan. Letters received here
from Klau-Chau, tho German fortified
settlement In the province of Shan
Tung, China, give details of an outrage
upon Father Stenz, the German Cath
ollc missionary, on Nov. 9 last. The
missionary was about to leave Tle-Tau,
province of Shan Tung, owing to the
anti-Christian feeling. Finding himself
confronted by crowds of Chinese who
were clamoring for the destruction of
the Christians he took refuge in a
hut. He was dragged out, his clothes
were torn from his back, he was struck
with sticks and pricked with knives
and lances and his beard torn out. The
Chinese threatened to flay him alive.
On the following day his persecutors
prepared to hang him by the wrists.
Finally a mandarin Interfered In his
behalf, but compelled him to leave the
district, with a promise never "to re
turn.
A Dylnc Mlnlstor'n Prediction.
Richmond, Va., Jan. 7. Rev. Dr,
Moses D, Hoge, pastor of the Second
Presbyterian church, died yesterday,
aged 81 years. He was one of the best
known citizens of Richmond, and his
death Is universally mourned. The rec
ognized approach of death was unable
to rob him of the measure of dignity
that characterized his life. Two weeks
or more ago he himself dictated a notice
for use In the local papers concerning
his condition, which forecast his death,
He not only set his own hpuse In order
for the grim visitor, but consulted tho
officers of his church as to his succes
Bor, and calmly awaited the Inevitable.

Washington, Jan. 7. The condition
of Representative Nelson Dlngley, of
Maine, who has been ill with pneu
monia for almost a week, has under
gone a marked change for tho Worse
and at midnight his physicians held out
little If uny hope for recovery. Al
though the lung has Improved consider
ably and the cough lessened, the ef
fects of the pneumonia has so weaken
ed the system as to dearease the vital
ity to an alarming extent. The poison
from the sickness has permeated the
whole system, which renders It less po
tent to stand the terrible strain. Much
of the day the patient was delirious,
and appeared to be uttering extracts
from speeches he has made on the tar
iff question In the house of representa
tives. He Was conscious only when
aroused. The physicians say there
must be a radical change one way or
another very soon.
Imported Itnllnns llofdso to Work.
Pana, Ills., Jan. 7. Eighteen Italians
have arrived here by rail from Chicago.
It Is said ten of the leading coal oper
ators have procured the services of a
labor agency to hire Italians to work
In the Pana mines. The operators are
apparently becbming dissatisfied with
the negroes brought here from Ala
bama, so many of the negroes proving
Bhlftless and turbulent. The Italians
on arrival were met by a committee of
union miners and escoited to tho union
headquarters on Second street. The
Italians seemed to be greatly surprised
on learning of the strike, and refused
to. work wlththe negroes. The miners'
union and citizens are making up a
purse and will return the Italians to
Chicago.
.What Shall We Do.
A serious and dangerous disease prevails
in this country, dangerous because so decep
tive. It comes on so slowly yet surely that it
is often firmly seated before we are aware of it.
The name of this disease which may be
divided into three distinct stages is, First,
Kidney trouble, indicated by pain in the back,
rheumatism, lumbago, frequent desire to
urinate often with a burning sensation, the
flow of urine being copious or scant with
strong odor.
If allowed to advance, this reaches the
Second stage, or Bladder trouble, with heavy
pain in the abdomen low down between the
uavel and the water passage, increasing de
sire to urinate, with scalding sensation in
passing, small quantities being passed witli
difficulty, sometimes necessary to draw it
witli instruments. If uric acid or gravel has
formed, it will prove, dangerous if neglected.
The Third stape is Bright's Disease.
There is comfort in knowing that Dr.
Kilmer, the great kidney and bladder
specialist, has discovered a Remedy famous
for its marvelous cures of the most distressing
cases aud known as Dr. Kilmer's Swamp
Root. It is sold by all druggists.
As a proof of the wonderful virtues of this
great discovery, Swamp-Root, a sample bottle
and book of valuable information will be sent
absolutely free by mail on application to Dr.
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y. When
writing kindly mention that you read this
liberal offer in the Shenandoah Herald.
IN SENATEAND HOUSE r '

Inbor Stricken Prom Alaska mil.
Washington, Jan. 6. The Judiciary
committee had the right of way, in the
house for three hours yesterday and
quite a number of bills of minor im
portance reported from the committee
were passed. The remainder of the day
was occupied In continuing tlte consid
eration of the bill to codify the laws
of Alaska. Some 21 pages were dispos
ed of yesterday, making 83 In all of
the 232 pages. A section in the bill,
copied from the statutes of Oregon,
providing punishment by fine and im
prisonment of persons who prevent or
endeavor to prevent employes from
working, aroused a protracted debate,
on the ground that It was an attack on
organized labor. It was finally stricken
out.
Little business except of a routine
character was transacted by the senate.
A resolution offered by Mr. Hoar, of
Massachusetts, directing the commit
tee on foreign relations to report to
the senate whether the treaty of Paris
makes any provision for the claims of
citizens of the United States against
Spain which were In existence before
the recent war, and the status of such
claims after the ratification of the
treaty, was adopted,

London, Jan. 7. A big boiler while
being tested in Hewitt's shipbuilding
yard, at Barking, burst yesterday nnd
the superintending engineer and eight
men were killed. About 40 persons
were Injurod, some fatally. The bodies
of the dead wer frightfully mutilated.
The whol shipbuilding works was
wrecked. A lad wns found dead 300
yards from the scene of tjie disaster.
A number of men and boys are miss

may be Judged from the fact that ono
of the huge plates of the boiler plung
ed through a building a quarter of a
mile distant, and that debris was hurl
ed hundreds of yards In all directions.
The factory Itself, which covered sev
eral acres, was practically razed, and
all the dwellings and shops In Us im

and purposes wrecked. Windows were
shattered a mile away, and telegraph

on all sides.
Distressing scenes were witnessed
among the mothers, wives and other

ESTERHAZY INTERVIEWED.
Author or tliu llorderenu Indulges In

London, Jan. 7. The Daily News
publishes this morning an Interview
which a special correspondent in Hol
land has had with Major Ferdinand
Walsln Esterhazy, author of the Drey
fus bordereau. The correspondent says:
"I found him In a small, typical
Dutch hotel. His face betrayed the
ravages of the anxiety of recent
months, and ho is terribly lonely. He
told me he had hardly spoken to any
one since he left England. He de
clined to say anything about the In
quiry now In progress before the court
of cassation, but did Indulge In a vio
lent anll-Jewlsh tirade.
"Esterhazy declared that the Dreyfus
affair Is a bitter racial war, legitimate
and natural, a defense against the
most terrible invasion which ever men
aced Europe, observing that unhappily
the defenders were not agreed among
themselves. He complained that while
he was left In the most absolute tran
quillity during his stay in England, he
had been continually threatened and
Insulted In Holland."

IN SENATEAND HOUSE.
A VlHory For tho Opponents of tho
Civil Sorvlfe Law.
V "lilnrrtnti. Jan. 7. The antl-clvll
service reformers scored a victory In
the house yesterday. The legislative,
executive nnd Judicial appropriation
bill wns taken up for consideration and
when tho appropriation for the civil
service commission was reached Mr.
Evans, Kentucky Republican, made a
motion to strike It out. This motion
has been made annually for a dozen
years or more, but hnS Invariably fail
ed. But yesterday the opp.mentB of
the law laid great stress on tho fact
that they could not get a direct vote
upon tho proposition, and were, there
fore, compelled to seek Its nullification
In this manner. Even these appeals
failed to bring out tho full strength
of the opposition, though the motion to
strike out carried by a narrow ma
jority 67 to 61. Tills was In committee
of the whole, where no record Is made
of the vote. Mr. Moody, of Massa
chusetts, gave notice that he would
demand a record vote In the house,
where the friends of the civil service
law expect to reverse the decision.
Immediately after the senate pon
vened yesterdny the resolution offered
Thursday by Mr. Hoar calling on the
president for Information as to the In
structions of the commissioners who
negotiated the treaty of Paris, to
gether with all correspondence and re
ports relating to the work, was laid
before the senate. Chairman Davis,
one of the commissioners, desired that
It be referred to the foreign relations
committee, but Mr. Hoar Insisted that
the senate had ns much right to such
information as the members of the for
eign relations committee, and that the
president should determine whether
the senate should have It. The resolu
tion was adopted In secret session. In
support of the resolution offered some
time ago by Mr. Vest In opposition to
expansion Mr. Caffrey delivered an ex
tensive speech.
The Soldiers' Hunks Collapsed.
Columbus, O., Jan. 7, Two hundred
members of the Fourth Ohio volunteers
gathered here for muster out were
hurled from their Improvised beds at
the Auditorium at an early hour In the
morning and 2.1 were .Injured, quite a
number being seriously hurt, although
no fatalities are expected, In order to
accommodate the men temporarily
double decked bunks had been con
structed out of tent floors and scant
ling, and under the weight of the sleep
ing soldiers the structure toppled over.
A number were removed to the var
ious city hospitals owing to the severity
of thlr Injuries.

ON13 MONTH TO LIVE.
The Doctor gave me one month to live. 1 had
been sick fof two years. I had Asthma, a tear
Ine cough and dreadful Stomach trouble. The
medicine, the expense, the suffering. Two
years of horror. Nothing helped me. Nothing
lave me even temporary relief. I could not
sleep lor the Adhma and cough, nor eat for my
jtomarh seemed raw. I got so weak I could
got walk actoss the floor without help. My
doctor pavf me one month to live. My relatives
lUliuc'.ni , la. wtr sent for aud came clear
o Iowp to bid me n last good bye. Then I
Ii rd ,! I lailllan Halm nud the wonderful
uires 1' hi' tn ide. r had little faith, but read
,-uid r icnl tiis testimonials. They seemed
huues' and I derided to try It. A drowning per
s.)U you kuow, catches nt a straw. Still I did
nt dare hope It would do me any good. I felt
sure I was too far gone. Well, If you will be
lieve It. the very first bottle gave me the great
iiticllef I was better, surely better. Then I
r jt more Halm and Toxlcola Tablets. They

and am uot bet

but cured. I
have not been so
well iu 20 years,
I do my own
work and think
I am good lor
of mere life, but of vigor, health and happiness
nnd all due to those wonderful remedies, Bra
zlllan Ualm and Toxlcola Tablets. But I ought
to say I did uot use near all the Balm and Tab
lets myself. I gave away a great deal and cured
Coughs nnd Colds and Asthma and Stomach
troubles all round the neighborhood. The peo
ple say they never saw anything like It. Now
I think, everybody ought to know what lnvalu

aud give the suffering the facts about my case.
