The Tuckers of Versailles, Ind., like all

their children. Their daughter. Lucy iu

She is fifteen, and from a strong, healthy

falling off in flesli. until she became a
mere skeleton. She seemed to have no 1 if*»

ally she became the victim of nervous pros
tration. Doctors did not help her. Most
of the time she was confined to bed,
whs
very nervous and irritable, and seemed ou
the verge of St. Vitus' dance.
One morning.' said Mrs. Tucker, "'the
doctor told us to give her L)r. Williams' Pink
Pills for l'ale People, which he brought -with
him. He *aid he was treating a similar rase

The doctor came and was surprised to see

giving her the medicine. We gave her one
pill after each meal until eight boxes had
been used when she was well. She has not
been sick since, and we have no fear of the
old trouble returning. We think the cure
almost miraculous.'"

LETTERS FROM THE RESTORED.

The manufacturers of the remedy
called "i drops," which is guaran
teed to cure rheumatism, neuralgia,
asthma, and kindred ailments, have re
ceived thousands of letters regarding
their medicine, many of which have
been published. The following is a
•ample of these letters:
Oct. 10, 1897, 630 Main St.,
Springfield, Mas«.
Dear Sirs—I can not express my
gratitude to God, also to you, for the
benefit I am receiving from "5 drops."
I walk around my room without
crutch, which I have had to use a long
time. I firmly believe that with faith,
patience and perseverence, "5 drops"
will get the better of all diseases. My
doctor says it is indigestion has made
me bloat so, but his medicine does not
seem to reach my case. Respectfully
yours, Mrs. A. Spring.
The producers of "5 Drops," who are
the Swanson Rheumatic Cure Co., 167
169 Dearborn street, Chicago, have de
cided to continue for another 30 days
an offer which they made some weeks
ago, namely, to send a sample bottle
of "5 Drops," prepaid, for 25 cents.
They state that this is done as they
know even a sample bottle will con
vince one of the value of their remedy.
Also, large bottle, 300 doses, for $1.00,
and for the next thirty days, three bot
tles for $2.50.
WORK OF CONGRESS
Washington. Feb. 8.—An amendment
of n ore than ordinary importance and
siK»ifi nnce at this time was proposed
itt the senate by Mr. Morgan of Ala
bama to the resolution offered a few
days ago by Mr White of California.
Mr. White's resolution declared that
it was the right of the people of Ha
waii to maintain their own form of
government and that the I'nited
States ought iu nowise to interfere
with it. Mr. Morgan's amendment
provides distinctly lor the annexation
of the Hawaiian islands, declaring
thai the present governiaeut has a
right to make such cession to ihis
country. Mr. Davis of Minnesota,
chairman of tin- committee on foreign
relations, moved that the resolution of
Mr. White and the amendment there
to proposed by Mr. .Morgan, be re
ferred to the foreign relations commit
tee. and after a brief colloquy between
Mr. White and Mr. Morgan, the reso
lution and amendment were so re
ferred. The presentation of a me
morial prepared by the late Admiral
Worden elicited some int resting state
ments regarding ihe historic light iu
Hampton tioads between the Monitor
and the Merrimae.
A communication was received from
the secretary of war presenting the
in.mediate necessity for action to con
trol the disorderly elements that are
assembling in Alaska. A house bill
authorizing the secretary of the treas
ury to purchase or have constructed
a suitable revenue cutter for the use
of the Yukon river at a cost of not
more than $40,000 was passed.
Senator Teller occupied the entire
four hours of the executive session in
discussing the Hawaiian annexation
treaty.
Military Academy Bill Passed.
The house passed the military
academy bill with only one important
amendment. The delmte on the meas
ure was desultory and tout bed a va
riety of political topics. As passed the
bill carried $4."i.'?.o40. $'JC».03'i less than
the amount carried i»y the current law.

Washington. Feb. P. Three propo
sitions. differing materially as tt. meth
ods. were presented to the senate for
the relief of the Cuban insurgents.
Mr. Allen of Nebraska offered as an
amendment to the diplomatic and
consular appropriation bill a resolu
tion recognizing the belligerency of
the insurgents, and said that tie hoped
thus to afford the senate an oppor
tunity to vote on that proposition.
Mr. Caruou of I'tab offered a resolu
tion urging the president to notify the
kingdom of Spain that if it did not
recognize the independence of the
Cuban republic before March 4. 1S98.
the I'nited States »ould recognize the
belligerency of the Cuban's and with
in ninety days thereafter would assert
Ihe independence of the Cuban re
public. Mr. Mas in of Illinois followed
"vith a resolution requesting the presi
dent to notify Spaiii that the Cuban
wiir must cease at once and declared
1he intention of the I'nited States to
restore and maintain peace on the is
land. Hotb Mr. Cannon aud Mr. Ma
son gave notice of their intention to
speak upon their resolutions to-mor
row. The right of Hon. Henry W.
Corbett to a seat iu the senate from
Oregon occupied the senate's atten
tion for two hours. Senator Chandler
sj taking in favor of seating the claim
ant. The remainder of the afternoon
was spent in executive session.
The house spent the day consider
ing the .\hlrich'Plowman contested
election ease.
Washington, lib b'. I or more
than three hours the senate chamber
rang with eloquent appeals in behalf
of the Cub
1.n
insurgents. Announced
speeches were delivered by Mr. Can
non of Ctah and Mr. Mason of Illi
nois in advocacy of the adoption of
resolutions which they had pre*
to the senate. Following Mr. an
lion's speech Senator Halt1 of ne
addressed ihe senate, briefly urging
the senate to uphold the policy of the
administration. He pointed out that
much had j.lready been accomplished
by President McKinley. uot only foi*
the cause id' peace on the island, but
also for the protection of Americans
and American interests and for the
relief of the reconceiitrados and pa
eificos.
Long before Mr. Cannon rose to ad
dress the senate the galleries were
packed with people who were aware
that this would be a lield day for Cu
ban oratory. Mr. Caution s speech was
a calm and dispassionate argument in
support of his resolution. He declared
that in the conflict iu Cuba. Spain,
afraid to meet the insurgents in the
lield. had resorted to a policy of
bribery and starvation. Of this he
believed the American people could
Hot be brought to approve. While Mr.
Cannon was speaking a sensational in
cident occurred. A mernlier of the
house ol representatives, standing
i ear the speaker, audibly denounced
as a lie. seemingly, some statement
Mr. Cannon had made. Mr. Cannon,
pale with feeling, made reply to what
at the moment seemed an insult, but
which was subsequently satisfactorily
explained.
Mr. Mason followed Mr. Hale in a
long., and. at times, tiery speech, iu
which he urged the president to im
mediately intervene in the Cuban war
.ud end the struggle which on both
sides hail become so brutal as to shock
tiie sensibilities of the civilized world.
On motion of Mr. Hale the resolu
tion was referred ti the committee on
foreign relations.
Mr. ("Handler then called up the res
olution declaring Mr. Corbett not en
titled to the seat of senator from Ore
gon. and Mr. Pettus ol Alabama spoke
upon it. At ,r» o'clock the senate ad

was the first contested election ease
decided by the present house against
the sitting member.
Mr. Sul'/er. Dent., X. Y., attempted
t'k secure recognition for the introduc
tion in open house of a resolution
which, after reciting the contents of a
letter alleged to have been written by
Senor Ihtpuy de Lome, the Spanish
minister, to Hon Jose Canalejas, edi
tor of the Madrid El Ileraldo. and af
ter alleging that said letter was an
insult to this country, declared it to be
the sense of the house that the Span
ish minister "be given his passports
jukI
sent home in disgrace." He was
cut off by a demand for the regular
order.
Washington. Feb. tT-During almost
the entire session of the senate the ln
dian appropriation bill was under dis
ssion. The reading of the bill w as
completed and all of the committee
amendments were adopted. Subse
quently several amendments of a
minor character were attached to the
measure. Mr. Allen of Nebraska en
livened the proceedings a few min
utes before adjournment by making
av attack upon Speaker Reed for pre
venting the enactment, as the Ne
braska senator declared, of meritori
ous legislation sent to the house of
representatives by the senate. lie
denounced the speaker's action iu this
regard as a "disgrace" to congress ami
to the American people. When a point
of order was made against hint for
the use of improper language concern
ing the other branch of congress. Mr.
Allen said that he was stating only
the truth and that he was responsible
here or elsewhere at any time for his
statements. It was expected to con
elude the consideration of the pending
bill, but when appeal was taken from
a ruling of the vice president by Mr.
Allen that an amendment offered by
Mr. Thurston of Nebraska was not in
order, the point of order was made by
Mr. Allen that a quorum was not

The house was in a very bad temper
and the whole session was consumed
in filibustering against two bills of
minor importance, one to issue a
duplicate cheek and the other to make
Rockland. Me., a sub port of entry.
Neither got further than the engross
ment and third reading. The trouble
nrost- over the enforcement of the rule
against the discussion of irrelevant
subjects when Mr. Handy, a Demo
crat of Delaware, attempted to reply
on the floor during the consideration
of those bills to a letter recently writ
ten by Thomas F. Bayard, secretary
of state under the Cleveland adminis
tration. in denunciation of the free
silver Democracy. Roll call followed
roll call all day long and partisan
feeling reached a high pitch. Finally,
when it became evident that no prog
ress could be made with the bills pre
sented, an adjournment was taken un
til Monday.
Washington. Feb. 1'-. Consideration
of the Indian appropriation bill was
resumed by the senate, and after be
ing amended to some extent, the
measure was passed. The most im
portant amendment to the bill was
that offered by Mr. Petti grew of South
Dakota, which, if finally enacted, will
restore the free homestead laws so far
as it relates to Indian lands ceiled
to the Fuited States, for which lands
the settlers have been obliged to pay
the purchase price paid to the Indians.
The bill carries appropriations aggre
