THE ORIGINAL
LIVER
' A sallow complexion, dizziness,
biliousness and a coated tongue
are common indications of liver
and kidney diseases. Stomach and
bowel troubles, severe as they are,
give immediate liver and warning kidney troubles, by pain,
out
though less painful at the start, are
much harder to cure. Thedford’a
Black-Draught fiver never fails to bene
fit diseased and weakened kid
neys. It stirs up the torpid liver
to throw off the germs of fever and
ague. It is a certain preventive
or cholera and Bright’s disease of
the kidneys. With kidneys re
inforced by Thedfcrd’s Black
Draught thousands of persons have
dwelt immune in the families midst of yel- in
low fever. Many live
perfect health and have no other
doctor than Thedford’s Black
Draught. It is always on hand for
use in an emergency and saves
many expensive calls of a doctor.
Mullins, S. C., March 10,1901.
! have used Thedford’s Black-Draught
for three years and I have not had to go
to a doctor since I have been taking it.
It is the best medicine for me that is
on the market for iiver and kidney
troubles and dyspepsia and other
complaints. Rev. A G. LEWIS.

AGAIN IN SESSION
Second Session Fifty-Seventli
Congress Convenes.
PUBLIC GALLERIES ARE PACKED.
Hall of Representatives Presented Bril
liant Appearance With the Elaborate
Decorations Made for the Occasion.
Speaker Henderson Greeted. .
Washington, Dec. 1.—The second
session of the fifty-seventh congress
convened at noon today.
The hall of representatives present
ed a brilliant scene for the opening
of the session. During the recess the
#
chamber had been decorated through
out. The old color of schpnie of gold
and carmine will be preserved, but
the fresh colors served to lighten tha
general effect. The famous paintings
of Bierstad, “The DisSlvery of the
H-ud-son,” and "The Landing of the
Verbian Expedition at iffonterey, Cal.,
in panels 1621,” ^y’liich formerly hung i:i
o*,eith'er side of the speaker's
rostrum ,’' have been removed to the
lobby in the rear and in their place a
full length portrait of Washington and
Lafayette.
Public Galleries Packed.
Although the gavel was not to fail
until noon, the public galleries were
packed soon after they were thrown
open at 10 o’clock, and the sections re
served for the families and friends
of members were also filled early. The
opening of congress is a society as
well as a political event, and in the
galleries were many handsomely
gowned society women.
There was the usual flower display,
although it was, perhaps, not as elab
orate as upon some similar occasions
in the past. It was noticeable that
the victorious party in (he recent earn
paign did not monopolize the entfre
flower show. By 11 o’clock the air
was heavy with tl^p odors of perfumes
and the hall buzzed with the steady
hum of conversation from the throngs
in the surrounding galleries.
Shortly after 11 otelock the mem
bers began arriving, the greetings ex
changed .-syemingly be,ills -KiimUv <’o ■
dial whether they were between po
litical friends or enemies.

It It was generally remarked ,, , upon , in
the galleries „„n„ i that the most , elaborate , , .
floral pieces were on the desks of Mr.
Connell, i, of „ Pennsylvania, , and , Mr, ,,
Loud, of California, two Republicans
who were defeated for re-election.
At. 11:45 o'clock the doorkeeper di
rected his assistants to clear the floor
of ail persons not entitled to .email.
during the session. Meantime mem
berg were entering the floor from the
i lobbies, a vkl 1(1 and i fu there was much i confu* r
sion. The leaders on both sides were
surrounded and greeted as they found
their way to their desks, hut there
wee no demonstrations.
Mr. Cannon, cf Illionls, whose elec
t!on as speaker of tho next house in
already assured, was besieged by his
colleagues eoulfi with difficulty
find a way to his desk. Mr. Payne,
of New York, the floor leader of the
majority, Mr. Dalzeli* at Pennsylva
n.a. and Mr. Richardson, the minority
leader, and other prominent, members i
also held Impromptu reeept.ons.
Henderson Greeted With Applause, t
Three the minutes doors before the hour oi j |
noon from the rear lobby
swung open and Speaker Henderson
entered. He was Immediately sur- j
rounded by members and held a re- j
ception upon the marble steps of tha -
rostrum until the hands or Lie clock j
met. Then exactly at 12 o’clock it, I
noon, he ascended to his place. A !
great outburst of applause greeted j
him as he faced the house and gal- |
leries. With several vigorous whacks !
of the gavel the speaker stilled the j
demonstration. In the hush that fol
lowed the blind chaplain, Rev. Cou
den, offered up prayer, fervently in
vokin g divJne blessing upon the pres

speaker clerk to call the

broke out afresh and in the volume^^of ^ i
sound that filled the hall the calls of |

the speaker was obliged to bring the
house to order, and to admonish both
the members and the spectators in the

Connecticut, then announced tua;

death or ms predecessor, Mr. Kussell,
and following the usual forms of re
grot. These were adopted, and at
1:56 p. in., as a further mark of re
spent, the house adjourned until to
morrow.
IN THE SENATE.
Resolutions „ ... of . K Regret Adopted Over
Death of Senator McMillan.
Washington, Dec. 1. The scene in
the senate chamber today when the
body began the work of the
enth congress was a brilliant one.
Dong before noon, when President Pro
Tem. Frye brought his gavel down
and opened the proceedings the gal
leries began lilling up. Every seat
was Soon occupied, and hundreds stood
outside the corridors clamoring for
admission.
The floor of the senate was a verit
able garden of flowers, chrysanthe
mums and violets spreading their fra
grance throughout tho chamber. Many
of the floral pieces were magnificent
and completely hid tho desks from
view. Without distinction of party,
senators moved from ono side of the
chamber to the other and renewed
old acquaintances. The old scores,
made in the heat of debate in the last
session, had cooled off and everywhere
it was noted that the best of feeling
prevailed. The familiar figure of Sen
ator James McMillan, of Michigan,
who was beloved by his associates,
was missing and universal sorrow was
again expressed over his demise.
The customary resolutions were
adopted notifying the house that the
senate was ready to proceed to busi
ness, appointing a committee to join
with one from tho house to wait o.pr
the president and inform him that con
gress was assembling and fixing the
hour of meeting at 12 o’clock.
Mr.- Burrows, of Michigan, then an
nounced the death of his colleague,
James McMillan. He spoke with
great'emotion and briefly referred to
the life and services of the dead sen
ator. Resolutions' of regret wore
offered and unanimously adopted, and
as a further mailt of respect the sen
ate at 12:12 p. m. adjourned until 12
o'clock tomorrow.

WAS IN BOXER WAR.
Rev. Earle Sims’ Wife and Baby Sav
ed by Native Christians.
Bartow, Fla,, Dec. 1.—Rev. Earle
D. Sims, a returned missionary from
Chink, is in the city, and tor tho next
two weeks will preach twice a day at
the Baptist church. Mr. Sims is a
natlve of Missouri> but his home is in
Louisville, Ky.
Rev. Sims spent four years traveling
before going to China, visiting over
20 of the most prominent nations of
the world, covering 50,000 miles a year
or 200,000 miles in the four years. Six
years of his life were spent 800 miles
in the interior of China, being located
at Tat Au Fu.
He gives an intensely interesting
account of the boxer war, which oc
curred while he was there. His wife
and baby had a nairow escape from
being murdered by the boxers, He
was away from home on a missionary
tour, believing that all danger to their
city and home was past, When the
bloodthirsty boxers made a raid, break,
ing into his home, and but for the
bravery of the native Christians his
wife and child would .have been mas
sacred. His co-worker, Mr. Brooks.
from London, was the first missionary
to be killed by the boxers.
Mr. Sims' wife, by the way, was
Miss Viva Diver, who was reared by
Dr. and Mrs. S. H. Ford, of St, Louis,
the latter being an author of consid
erable note. Prior to their marriage
Miss Diver worked tliree years among
the outcast women of Chicago, and
for three years was special mission
ary employed by the Third Baptist
church of St. Louis.
In the meantime her sweetheart, Mr.
Sims, was laboring among the heathen
in far-off China. It was aranged that
she should go to meet him, and she
made the long journey of 12,000 miles
to China and they wore married. Their
little son, Rochester Ford,, now 5 years
of age, was the first foreign chi'd to
be horn in the city in which they lived,
and the event created great interest
among the natives, They crowded
in to see “the little heathen devil,”
as they called the child. The boy’s
Chinese name is Shin I.oong King, and
Mr. Sims’ name was Shin Er Lee.
SHOT DAUGHTER, WIFE AND SELF
Woman Will Recover, But Man Is a
Corpse.
Sneedville, Tenn., Nov. 23.—In Han
cock county, In the mountains of up
per Tennessee, Richard Green per
haps fatally shot his wife and daugh
ter in an attempt to kill them. He
then shot, and killed himself, using a
shot gun. In his plan of self de
struction he pulled off a shoe and sock
and used a toe to fire the gun. The
discharge ignited his clothing and
when found his apparel was burned
from his body. It is supposed jealousy
or insanity was tho cause of tho deed.
Green did the first killing in the
Jones-Green feud ten or twelve years
ago. Green’s wife and (laughter are
not dead, and it is thought, they may
recover, but the widow will lose one
of her hands as tho effect of the shoot
ing.

any explanation for his absence. Mr.
McNutt’s parents remained at the
Guth house with the other guests un
til midnight, when they returned to
their home, and found their son’s
