Aldrich today surprised the Democratic members of the senate by springing the deadly , precedent He pointed out to the senate that his illustrious Indiana predecessor, Dan Voorhees, who was chairman of the finance committee when the Wilson-Gorman tariff bill was framed in 1894, handled the tariff bill of that year exactly as he (Aldrich) is now handling the PayneAldrich bill, This was news to the Democratic side of the senate, which listened intently while Senator Aldrich sprang his little coup. While Aldrich was showing from the records how Dan Voorhees bossed the tariff job astonishment was written plainly on the faces of his senatorial critics. For weeks Aldrich has borne in patience the rasping criticism of the manner in which his commttee has framed tariff legislation. The Democratic senators have been as pestiferous as gadflies in annoying him. Today he turned on them and passed one over the plate that no doubt will silence criticism.

MOTION TO DISSOLVE I Will Be the Next Action in l -.i' ' » the Big Crossing Battle 1 Now On k BE FILED SATURDAY . Official Notice is Served— Erie Officials Were Here Last Night Comparative quiet reigns in the > railway circles of this locality today. There are out tew developments in the battle between the Chicago & , Erie and the Fort Wayne & Springfield companies who are contesting as to what kind of a contract should be arranged before the traction company can cross the Erie tracks with their rails. Several officials of the Erie arrived yesterday afternoon, but the injunction writs had been served on 1 the agents of each company and the affair had quieted dowq so that there i was but little for them to do. They stated that the idea that they wanted the tractton people to put in 1 a 16,000 interlocking switch was er--1 roneous, that the interlocker they rel quest is only a connection with the , big Interlocker at the transfer crossing and the attachment would cost not to exceed 1100. So far as is. known they held no conference with ‘ the traction people, and there has been no effort on either side for a ’ compromise. • The interurban company have served notice, on the Chicago & Erie that on Saturday morn- ' Ing they win appear in the Adams 1 circuit court and file a motion ask- ’ Ing that the temporary injunction granted the Erie be dissolved. This ' may secure an immediate hearing on the question. o EABY TO MIX THIS. ’ Simple Recipe for Kidney or Bladder Trouble or Rheumatism. ’ What will appear very interesting to many people here is the article taken from a New daily paper, giving a simple prescription, which is said to be a positive remedy so rbackache or kdney or bladder derangement, If t taken before the stage of Bright’s dls- , ease: Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ; ounce; Vompound Kargon, one ounce; s Compound Syrup Carsaparilla, three : ounces. Shake well in a bottle and take in teaspoonful dbses after each meal and agai nat bedtime. A well-known druggist here at ' home, when asked regarding this prescription, stated that the ingredients > are all harmless, and can be obtanied i at a small cost from any good prescription pharmacy, or the mixture ' would be put up if asked to do So. He further stated that while this pre- [ scription is often prescribed in rheu- ' matic afflictions with splendid results, he could see no reacon why it would , not be a splendi dremedy for kidney and urinary trouble sand backache, as it has a peculiar action upon the kidney structure, cleansing these most important organs and helping them to sift and filter from the blood the foul' acids and waste matter which cause sickness and suffering. Those of our readers who suffer can make no mistake in giving it a trial. . .... » . v Word received from Clarence Biersdorfer, who is at present with the Des Moines team in the Western Association, states that he is getting along in nice shape, and that he will remain with that team during the coming season.

Clarence is some pitcher and his many friends here wish him success. . -O If you have backache and urinary trouble syou should take Foley’s Kidney Remedy to strengthen and build up the kidneys so they will act properly, as a serious kidney trouble may develop.
