?WILL PUSH FIGHT ~ AGAINST MR, CLARI Committee's Resolution Will Be Pressed to a Vote. SMITH MAKES A PKOTEST Governor of Montana Demands Thor? ough Investigation of Senator's Ap? pointment During His Absence-Asks That Credentials Be Referred. WASHINGTON, May 19.-The senate committee on privileges and elections has directed Chairman Chandler to press action on the Clark r?solution as origi? nally reported. The following dispatch was received and read to the committee from Gov? ernor Smith of Montana: "I desire to present in as forcible man? ner as possible my protest against the course pursued by Hon. W. A. Clark in attempting to defeat the action of the senate of the United States in the r?so? lution offered by the committee on priv? ileges and elections affecting his title to a seat, and protest against the methods pursued by him in securing an appoint? ment at the hands of the lieutenant gov? ernor during my absence from the state under circumstances and conditions which to my mind indicate collusion and fraud. "His conduct in attempting a resigna? tion and procuring a reappointment un? der the conditions as he did, if the mat? ter was before a court of justice, would have been considered a contempt of court on his part. I therefore trust that the senate will proceed to a proper and ! complete consideration of tho question j so that the rights, not only of Mr. Olark ! but the state of Montana in the premi? ses, may be determined, and that upon the presentation of his credentials of appointment by the lieutenant governor the same be transferred to the commit? tee on privileges and elections for in? vestigation and that he not be permitted to make a moro complete and dilated statement of facts concerning the facts of the resignation of Mr. "Clark." The language of rhe resolution of the committee directing Chairman Chandler to press the resolution follows: "Resolved that the chairman be di? rected to press to a vote the resolution reported to the committee.'* KNITTITG MILL ORGANIZED, j - Warrenton Citizens Meet and Elect I Officers-Work to Begin at Once.

There is no way of pre? venting this act, as the lieutenant gov? ernor is vested with the same rights as the governor during the absence of the latter.

CATARRH CAN BE CURED BY Johnston's Sarsaparilla QUART BOTTLES. ?DANCER IN THE EARTH AND AI?; DANGER EVERYWHERE.'? A Wise and Venerable Doctor Talks about Advanced Science. In a leading hotel, in a great city, a famous and aged physician was convers? ing. Listening to his wise and sententious discourse, were a group of well dressed men, evidently lawyers, business men and commercial travelers. My firm belief, is "that medical science is certain yet to show that all dis? eases without exception are caused by invisible germs which are living organ? isms. Here is thc germ of that terribie disease diphtheria. Here is the bacillus of typhoid fever; and here is the still more dreadful bacillus of tubercle which causes that most destructive of all diseases, consumption. This of that very common and supposed incurable disease, catarrh." "I wish, Doctor/' said the traveling man, "that you would tell us about catarrh. I have had it for years, and I am thoroughly discouraged." The Doctor answered. "Catarrh, like diphtheria, consumption, typhoid fever, and a host of other diseases, is the result of a microbe invading the blood and attacking specially the inucous membrane. This foul and most disgusting disease is especially prevalent in the United States and it is rare to meet one who is not, or has not been troubled more or less with it. How often is he or she obliged to remain at home from pleasant entertainments, deprive themselves of many intellectual treats, from fear of the disagreeable odor arising from ca tarrhal affections. In its worst phase, the patient becomes loathsome both to himself and his friends. " I believe," continued this great physician, "that the true way to heal ca? tarrh is to medicate the blood. This can be done only by powerful alteratives which act as blood purifiers." Betsy A. Marett, of Manistee, Manistee Co., Mich., writes: Dear Sirs:-For ten years I was a sufferer from general debility and chronic catarrh. My face was pale as death. I was weak and short of breath. I could hardly walk, I was so dizzy and had a ringing in my head all the time. My hands and feet were always cold. My appetite was very poor. On getting up in the morning, my head swam so I was often obliged to lie down again. I had awful pains in the small of my back. 1 had a continual -feeling of tiredness. My muscular power was almost entirely gone, and I couldn't go half a dozen steps without stopping to rest, and often that much exercise caused me to have a pain in my side. It seemed as though the blood had left my veins. The doc? tors said my blood had all turned to water. I had given up all hope of ever get? ting well. I tried the best physicians in the state, but failed to get any relief My husband got me a bottle of Johnston's Sarsaparilla. I took it, and then I bought another. When these had been used, I was somewhat improved in health. I continued its use, and felt I was growing stronger; my sleep was re? freshing, and it seemed as if I could feel new blood moving through my veins. I kept on taking it, and now consider myself a well and rugged woman. I work all the time, and am happy. I am positive that the Sarsaparilla saved my life. The sick headaches I have had since childhood, have disappeared, and my ca? tarrh has almost entirely left me. I cannot be too thankful for what Johnston's Sarsaparilla has done for me. I recommend all women who have sick head? aches to use your Sarsaparilla. ailCSaOAN C03IPAKTT, DETROIT, MICH. J. S. H?GHSON & CO. For Sale or Rent.
