Why Old People are Especla'iy Liable
to Systemic Catarrh.
Wlien old ago come' ; on , catarrhal dis

almost universal in old people.
This explain' ; why Perunn has become i
so indispensable to old people. Peruna
is their safeguard. Peruna is the only ! j
icinedy yet devised that entirely meets
these Vases. Nothing but an effective I
systemic remedy can cure them. j

To judge from an incident reported in
the "Washington correspondence of the
New York Tribune , the Department of
Agriculture sometimes appears from a
distance like a , big department store.
During the season when members of
Congress send out seeds one of the
packages found its way back to the
! } " < sender , accompanied by a note from the
farmer to whom it had been addressed.
i i
"My dear sir , " wrote the farmer , "I
appreciate your good-will in sending
the seeds , but my oldest daughter , Ma
p tilda , is going to many the doctor down
to the village next month , and wife
4 and I think of giving up the farm and
going there to life. If we do , the seeds
won't be much good , as we sha'u't
have a garden : so if you could change
them for some stockings ( No. 9) and
some handkerchiefs , or a nice spring
bonnet for Matilda , I would be much
obliged. "

The last session of the Fifty-eighth
Congress was called together at noon
Monday. The opening was amid those
scenes that for years have made tho
reassembling of Congress amo'g the
notable events of the country. Hun
dreds of sight-seers early thronged the
corridors and crowded into the galler
ies to witness the formal proceedings.
The streets were crowded with people
intent on witnessing the ceremonies ,
despite rain and sleet Many newly
elected members were at the capitol.
although they will not assume office
until after March 4. A sad feature of
the reassembling was the absence of
kindly faces grown old in the service
of the country.
Seldom in the memory of the old
guard has the opening day been made
such a gala occasion. The galleries ,
rather than the floor , proved the center
of attraction. Rows upon rows of
handsomely gowned women looked
down upon the statesmen. Members
of both bodies were Hooded with re
!
membrances in the form of floral
I
pieces and the chambers presented an
appearance which they never know on
any other occasion. Baskets and clus
ters of bright roses , chrysanthemums
and other fall flowers covered the
desks.
Tlu > Senate convened for its final
session of the Fifty-eighth Congress
i
promptly at noon. The first Senator
In his seat was Mr. Platt of New York.
Long before 12 o'clock the galleries
were filled , but the buzz of conversa
tion ceased when President Pro Tern.
Frye's gavel fell. Rev. Edward
Everett Hale , D. D. , chaplain of the
Senate , offered prayer , which was list-
ened to by nearly every Senator ,
Two seats had been vacated by
'leath those of Senator Hoar of Mas-
sachusetts and Senator Quay of Penn-
sylvania. Many eyes were turned sor-
rowfully toward the desks so long oc-
cupied by these men , who had grown
old in the public service. Their succes-
Bors. Senators-elect Crane of Massa
chusetts and Knox of Pennsylvania ,
attended the session , but will not oc-
cupy the seats assigned to them until
they are formally sworn in.
In the Senate , after the usual for- j
malities , the session was adjourned !
out of respect for the late Senators
Hoar of Massachusetts and Quay of
Pennsylvania. In the House nothing
beyond the merest routine was taken
up.
up.The
The House convened at noon for the
last session of the Fifty-eighth Con
gress. The gallery doors were thrown
open at 10:30 : o'clock , and in a short
time every seat was taken. The diplo
matic corps was well represented in
the section set apart for it. The spec
tators evinced the greatest interest in
the happenings on the floor below , and
kept np an incessant conversation.
Now and then as some favorite enter-
ed the chamber he was applauded.
This will be the short session of the
Fifty-eighth Congress and a notably
interesting one.
CONGRESSIONAL PROBABILITIES.
The principal subjects that probably
will be considered during the second
session of the Fifty-eighth Congress
are as follows :
Extra Session May be called as a. re-
mote contingency to provide revenue leg
islation to meet increased appropriations.
Tariff General belief of leaders that
the subject will not be considered.
Reciprocity Proposed treaties now in
Senate committee probably will not be
taken up owing to strong opposition.
Philippine Railroads Bill to construct
roads with government guarantee to bo
pressed by Senator Lodge. Other Phil
ippine legislation probable.
Statehood Bill to combine Oklahoma
nnd Indian territory as one State and
Arizona and New Mexico as another
ponding in the Senate and will be fought.
Impeachment The proceedings
ngainst Judge Sawyer of Florida will
come up , but doubtless will go over to
the next Congress.
Smoot The proposition to eject Reed
Smoot from the Senate probably will go
over to the next session.
Merchant Marine Report of the con
gressional commission which has been in-
% estigating the subject.
Chinese Exclusion New treaty being
negotiated and new law to replace law
expiring may be necessary.
Immigration Bill providing a head
tax of $2 and a United States govern
ment agent at foreign ports to be pushed
in Senate.
Currency Much talk probable , but no
action owing to wide range of senatorial
Ideas.
Southern Representation ; Proposed t *

to be discussed , but

WAR IN THIS OJBJENT.
JAPS STILL POUNDING AWAY AT
PORT ARTHUR.
ilttlc Yellow Men Are Straining Every
Nerve to Capture the IftiiKiaii Strong
hold Mikado's Army Making Pro
gress General NCWB of the Conflict.
The Japanese soldiers are straining
every nerve to get into Port Arthur
before the Baltic fleet shall arrive
there. That fleet is slowly moving
eastward. It was reported last week
that Admiral Rojestvensky's division
was coaling off Swakopsmund , In Ger
man Southwest Africa. The division
which went by way of the Suez Canal
has passed out of the Red Sea , and
before long .will be in touch with the
division which Is circumnavigating
Africa. Some of the vessels which
left the Baltic last of all have coaled
at Tangier and are on their wrfy to
Port Said.
The Japanese have made progress
at Port Arthur. They have gained the
eminence called Two Hundred and
Three Meter hill and the fort which
crowns It. That hill Is dominated by
others of which the Russians retain
possession , but the Japanese think It
Is worth the price paid for it , which is
said , though the figures probably are
exaggerated , to have been 5,000 in kill
ed and wounded.
The seizure of the hill Is a breach
In the inner line of defenses of Port
Arthur. The desperate and unsuc
cessful effort of General Stoi-ssel to re- i
gain it shows how much importance'
he attaches to its possession. It is ad
mitted at St. Petersburg that the loss
Is irreparable and the fall of the fort
ress only a question of time. But
while the advanced position held by
the Japanese commands the town and
harbor of Port Arthur , the Russians
can fall back to the forts on the LiaotI
promouotory south of the town , and if
they hold on to those forts as stub
bornly as they have to the others it
may be weeks before General Stoes-
sel hoists the white flag , lie may be
relied on not to do so till the last mo
ment.
General Nogi made the last day of
November memorable in the history of
the siege of Port Arthur by capturing
Two Hundred and Three Meter Hill ,
overlooking the Etszhan and Antsz-
shan forts. Once before , in the middle
of September , he had succeeded in
placing a company of his men well up
toward the summit , but after a day
and a night without food or water the
company was driven off by the Rus
sians. The all-day fighting of Nov. 30
followed several days of premllinary
attacks. Repeated charges were re
quired before the fierce Russian resist
ance was overcome , and it was not till
late In the evening that the entire
summit was in Japanese hands.
It speaks well for the indomitable
courage of the Russian soldiers , both
officers and men , that in the face of all
their losses and discouragements they
were keen enough to attempt a sortie
the following day to recover the hill.
So reduced are the Russian soldiers in
number that they are not sufficient to
man even the short line of forts on
which the fighting has now centered.
Port Arthur will have a place In
history as one of the most famous of
sieges. The Japanese assailants will
be remembered for their cheerful in
difference to death in their terrible
charges , but the Russian defenders
will make an even stronger appeal to
the imaginations of men in the future.
As far as is known the situation ? , on
the line of the Shakkhe River is much
what it was a week ago. There have
been Russian reports of movements in
which the Japanese got the worst of
It and Japanese reports in which the
Russians came off second best. It is
Intimated that General Kurokl is mov
ing around the Russian left flank , but
there is no evidence of it.
Nearly all the correspondents and
military attaches have left the Rus- !
slan army. This is an indication that j
no great battle is looked for during the j
winter. But it is hard to believe that
the two huge armies will remain
where they are until spring. It is said
that the Russians are suffering for
lack of fuel and are thinking of a for
ward movement to get possession of
the Yentai coal mines , of which the
Japanese have the benefit. If so It
will be the first battle on record for
the possession of a coal mine. The
question of water supply may become
a serious one now that the streams
are frozen up. The epidemics which
come from the drinking of polluted
water may break out.

Miss Rose Hennessy , well known as
a poetess and elocutionist , of Lexington ,
Ky. , tells how she was cured of uterine
inflammation and ovaritis by the use of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound *
" DEAR MRS. PIKITAM : I havt ; "been so blessedly helped through the use
of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound that I feel it but just to
acknowledge it , hopingthat it may help some other woman suffering1 as I did.
" For years I enjoyed the best of health and thought that I would always
do so. I attended parties and receptions thinly clad , and would be suddenly
chilled , but I did not think of the results. I caught a bad cold eighteen ,
months ago while menstruating , and this caused inflammation of the womb
and congested ovaries. I suffered excruciating pains and kept getting worse ,
My attention was called to your Vegetable Compound and the wonderful
cures it had performed , ? .nd I made up my inind to try it for two months and
see what it would do for me. Within one month. I felt much better , and
at the close of the second I was entirely well.
" I have advised a number of iny lady friends to iise it , and all express
themselves as well satisfied with the results as I was. " Miss ROSE KOKA.
HEXXESSY , 410 S. Broadway , Lexington. Ky.
The experience and testimony of some of tho most noted
women of America go to prove beyond a question that .Lydia 12.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound will correct all suck trouble and
at once , by removing the cause , and restoring tiie organs to a
normal and healthy condition.
MRS. PIXKHAM : About two years ago I consulted a phy
sician about my health which had become HO wretched that I was no
longer able to bs about. I had severe backache , bearing-down pains ,
pains across the abdomen , was very nervous and irritable , and this
trouble grew worse each month. The physician prescribed for me , but
I soon discovered that he was unable to help me , and I then decided to
try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound , and soon found that
it was doing me good. 3Iy appetite was returning , the pains disappear
ing , and the general benefits were well marked.
" You cannot realize how pleased I was , and after taking the medi
cine for only three months , I found that I was completely cured of my
trouble , and have been well and hearty ever since , and no more fear the
monthly period , as it now passes without pain to me. Yours very truly ,
Miss PEARL ACKERS , 327 Isrorth Summer St. , Nashville , Term. "
"When a medicine has been successful in restoring to health
more than a million women , you cannot well say without trying it
"I do not believe it will help me. " If you are ill , do not hesitate
to get a bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and
write Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn , Mass. , for special ail vice. Her adT
vice is free and helpful. "Write to-day. Delay may be fatal.

who returned to-day from a visit to his

an interview : "The proper way to de
scribe the manner in which the people
of North Dakota are coining over into
Western Canada is to say they are
coming over in droves. Among the
people there did not seem to be any
thought of there being a boundary line
at all. It is simply a question , " added
the major , "of there not being any
more land in North Dakota and the
surrounding States , and the people are
flocking to Canada to get good farms.
Naturally the number that will come
