At Least That SMUI to B« the General
Opinion Oatalda Foraker'n Camp.
COLUMBUS, O., Jan. 6.—The senate has
seated Iden, the contesting Republican,
in the place of Gaumer, Democrat, and
there will therefore be 93 votes in the
Republican senatorial caucus. The num­
ber of votes necessary to nominate,
however, still remains 47.
Senator Sherman seems to be gaining
strength every hour, but the Foraker
men show no less confidence in the re­
sult than they have shown from the
first. Chairman Hahn, of the state Re­
publican executive committee, who has
been managing Senator Sherman's can­
didacy, said to the United Press:
Senator Sherman will have 56 votes in
the caucus—15 from the senate and 41
from the house. This is uo supposition.
We know just how every man we claim
will vote. We have no doubt at all
about the result. No, I will furnish no
list of the names of the men who will
vote for Sherman, but I will say that
there are no 'doubtful' men to us, we
know and have known for some time
just how every man will vote.
Outside of the Foraker headquarters
the opinion seems to prevail generally
that it is impossible now to elect
Foraker.
TO REDISTR1CT OHIO.
A. Bill Introduced Which Would Give
Republi!»ii* Seventeen Congressmen.
COLUMBUS. O., Jan. 6.—The first bill
introduced in the general assembly after
its organization was for redistricting the
state for representation in congress so
that the Republicans will have seven­
teen congressmen and the Democrats
four. This city, which has been in a
Democratic district for twenty years, is
thrown in a Republican district, though
the majority is less than 1,000 in a total
vote of 35,000. The four Democratic
districts will have an average majority
of 10,000. Congressman Outhwaite is
thrown into a Republican district.
DULY ORGANIZED.
The New York Legislature Beady for
Business—Republicans on Hand.
ALBANY, N. Y., Jan. 6—The senate
was called to order at 11:20 a. m. by
Lieutenant Governor Sheehan. The
Republicans did not absent themselves
and there were only two vacant seats,
those of Senator Sexton and Senator
Sherwood, the latter being judicially
declared vacant.
After prayer the members were
sworn in alphabetically. A telegram
stated that Senator Sexton was detained
by illness. Charles T. Gunning, the
Democratic nominee, was elected clerk
by 17 to 13, Edwards, (Ind.,) voting
with the Democrats. The other Demo­
cratic nominees for the various offices
were also elected.
Senator Cantor was nominated by the
Democrats for president pro tem. and
George Z. Irwin by the Republicans.
Cantor was elected.
Mr. Cantor moved the seating of
Walker, (Dem.,) from the Twentv-sjv
enth.
Mr. Erwin asked leave io present
Sherwood's case. HJ was ruled out of
order and Walker was sea' t» 1.
Edwards voted against him.
Business then proceeded without spe­
cial incident. The governor's message
was read and referred, and several nom­
inations of state officers were confirmed.
The senate adjourned until next Tues­
day.
Bush Klected Speaker.
The house met and elected Robert K.
Bush, Democrat, speaker. The gover­
nor's message was read and after elect­
ing officers the house adjourned until
next Tuesday. In his message Governor
Flower calls attention to the need of
reapportionment of the state and recom­
mends liberal appropriation for the state
exhibit at the world's fair.

A FRIGHTFUL WRECK.
Ms Killed and Two Fatally Injur *4 ia
an Illinois Collision.
JACKSONVILLE Ills., Jan. 6.—• terri­
ble collision occurred at 1:45 a. m. on
the Wabash railway at Alladin, a small
station east of Hannibal. Six men were
killed outright, two probably fatally in­
jured and many others badly hurt. The
victims are:
A. S. Bouchard, engineer, killed oat
right.
James Wilson, engineer, killed.
Four Italian emigrant passengers,
names unknown, killed and cremated.
Henry WarbogB, fireman, of Spring­
field, Ills., fatally injured.
Ed Conwell, fireman, not expected to
live.
The trains were the eastbound and
the westbound Cannon Ball trains. The
eastbound train had the right of way
and was waiting at Alladin for
the other, No. 41, to take
the siding. The night was foggy and
Engineer Bushart was not very well ac­
quainted with the run and failed to stop
at the switch, bnt went rushing by into
the station at a high rate of speed. He
was unable to see anything ahead of
him, at least this is the supposition. The
engines came together with a terrific
crash, and in an instant all was confu­
sion. To add to the horror of the scene
both trains took fire, consuming the
baggage and smoking cars and one chair
car. The remainder of the cars were
detached and saved. The body of
Bushart was found pinned to the earth
under his engine, and his fireman was
fatally injured. Charles Wilson, th»
engineer of the east bound train, was
buried in the wreck, and his body has
not yet been found. His fireman was
severely injured, but may recover. Be
sides the four Italian emigrants killed
and cremated, several more were
wounded. The belated train passed
through here at 11 o'clock.
A LIVELY GAME.
Eight Georgians Killed in Bow Over a
Game of Cards.
MACON, Ga., Jan. 6.—Eight men were
killed in a general fight at Briglits &
William's turpentiue still in Clinch
county. The light started with a quar­
rel between two of the men named Ed
Williams and John Parker over alleged
cheating in a game of cards. Parker
began the shooting. Both he and Will­
iams were killed.
Perished in a Snow Slide.
RED CUFF, Colo., Jan. 6.—Word has
been received here of the death of
United States Marshal A. H. Fulford in
a snow slide, at Camp Nolan, in the
Fulford mining district. Mr. Fulford
was a well known miner and was heav­
ily interested in mining property in
Eagle county. He left his house at
Eagle on the 31st of December to visit
some property about fifteen miles dis­
tant. His family becoming alarmed at
his long absence, began a search and
followed his footsteps in the snow till
they were lost in a slide, which was
about a mile in width and two and one
half miles in length, gradually contract­
ing and ending in a gulch about 400
yards wids, where the snow reaches a
depth of from 75 to 100 feet. There is
no doubt but Fulford was caught in
this slide and suffocated.
Fatal iowst Collision*

The Cure For
Scrofula was once supposed to be the
touch of royalty. To-day, many grateful
people know that the "sovereign remedy" Is
Ayer's Sarsaparllla. This powerful atten­
tive extirpates "the evil" by thoroughly
eliminating all the strumous poison from the
blood. Consumption, catarrh, and various
other physical as well as mental maladies,
have their origlu in

Reforut In 9Cea'» Urea*,
"A Business Woman" writes to pro­
test against the agitation of dress reform
for women, upon the ground that
women's dress is in no need of reforma­
tion, and to propose a dress reform for
men. She wants to know why men's
trousers should not be cut off at the
ankles she wants to know if there is
comfort in a shiny shirt front or a stiff
collar—the growing prevalence of flan­
nel, silk, cheviot and unstarched linen
answers nay she asks why men should
stuff a yard or two of superfluous
cotton cloth into their trousers, instead
of wearing shirt waists as the little
shavers do she shoots the hat of man,
so to speak, with a condemnation of its
stiffness.
Sensible men will welcome the
thought of an effort to reform their
dress in the direction of comfort and
convenience. But our hopes are damped
somewhat by the memory of the fact
that, throughout the ages, when women
were the architects of men's shirts,
there was never known a shirt that
fitted.—San Francisco Argonaut.
How Some Men Waste Time.
The train stopped at a little town. A
commercial traveler, dealing in groceriea
and tobacco, got off a crate of live chick­
ens was put on and the cars started
again. The stopping of a train was no
rare sight in that village^ for it happens
two or three times every day. The peo­
ple had no welcome for the commercial
traveler, no tears were shed over the- de­
parture of the chickens yet on tha sta­
tion steps 1 counted forty men and boys
who were there when the train came in
—farm boys* who ought to have been at
work in the fields village boys, who
might have been doing something some­
where, every interest of economics aud
aesthetics alike calling them away from
the village and off to the farms. Two
men attended to all the business of the
station. The solitary passenger went his
own way. The rest were there because
they had not the moral strength to go
anywhere else. They stood there on the
station steps, embodied ghosts, dead to
all life and hope, with only force enough
to stand around and gape.—David S.
Jordan in Forum.
The Aiiauttiu* Tree.
The first ailanthus trees grown in
America were brought from the far eas
and planted in the ganleu of Burns' cof­
fee house on lower Broadway, opposite
Bowling New York. They were
much ailuiiivd hv the New York beaux
Rnd belles of seventy-five years ago,
from which the conclusion is drawn that
fashions in odors also change.—Es

A story is told and it is a true story that over seventy
per cent, of all the baking powders sold contain either alum
or ammonia, and many of these powders contain both. The
ill effects upon the system of food raised by alum or ammo­
nia powders are the more dangerous because of their insidious
character. It would be less dangerous for the people were it
fatal at once, for then such food would be avoided, but their
baneful action because imperceptible at first and slow in its
advances, is no less certain.
Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder is declared by all
authorities as free from alum, ammonia or any other adul­
terant. Its purity has never been questioned, and while it
does finer and better work, it costs no more at retail than
many of the adulterated powders.
