The Fitz-Jolin Porter bill passed the Senate 
last. Thursday by a vote of 86 to 25, six Repub¬ 
licans voting with the Democrats in its favor. 
There were ntauy “pairs.” It is 21 years 
since Porter wa 9 dismissed from the army 
by the highest military tribunal ever organ¬ 
ized in this country, and the justice of its 
verdict has ever since been questioned. The 
present bill does not give back pay; but 
merely authorizes the President to nominate 
Porter for the position of Colonel in the army. 
His pay will amount to $4,500 per annum, 
unless he is retired, when it will amount to 
$8,000. The President will doubtless sign the 
bill .The United States Brewers’ Asso¬ 
ciation, supported by liquor sellers, is pre¬

earnings, $12,714,683 .A new steamship

men are camping in the gulches of the Cceur 
d’ Alene Mountains, Idaho, in snow from four 
to twenty feet deep, waiting for Spring to 
enable them to begin placer mining 
in the new diggings there. There is a 
steady stream of people going into that 
region. Great excitement. ...

proviso that Canada shall act reciprocally as 
to the product in question. There will be a 
high-tariff minority report. No chance for

SUMMING HP THE RK«(TI.TS OF A 
YEA It’S TREATMENT. 
A lady patient in Lockport, N. Y., thus 
sums up the results of a year’s Compound 
Oxygen Treatment: 
“It is now a year since 1 commenced using 
the Oxygen, and 1 cau readily sum up the good 
results of the Treatment. It is hardly too 
much to say that lam infinitely better. Iam 
stronger in every way and rarely suffer now 
from the utter exha ust ion which was my usual 
condition before. I cannot remember the 
time when I have been so free from headache 
as during the past year. My physician re¬ 
joices in uiy improvement, and assures me 
that I am going to get well.” 
Our “ Treatise on Compound Oxygen," con¬ 
taining a history of the discovery and mode 
of action of this remarkable curative agent, 
and a large record of surprising cures in Con¬ 
sumption, Catarrh, Neuralgia, bronchitis, 
Asthma, and a wide range of chronic diseases, 
will be sent free. Address Dm. Starkey &

A cyclone struck the Mississippi State Agri¬ 
cultural College, at Starkville, last Tuesday 
afternoon, damaging all the buildings more

the wind was very heavy.Russia has 
hitherto been without grain elevators, but 
the Council of the Empire has just approved, 
by a large majority, of the proposed conces¬ 
sion to a Russo-American company, which 
contemplates the erection of grain elevators

posed on “patriotic grounds,” however, and 
it is doubtful whether the Czar will give it 
his imperial sanction.East Indians re¬

dolor Your Butter, 
Farmers that try to sell white butter are all 
of the opinion that dairying does not pay. If 
they would use Wells, Ricburdson & Co.’s Im¬ 
proved Butter Color, and market their butter 
in perfect condition, they would still get good 
prices, but it- will not pay to tnukeany but the 
best in color and quality. This color is used 
by all the leading creameries and dairymen, 
and is sold by druggists and merchants — Adv.
