Judge Adamson Explains Vote on Lum
ber Schedule.
Washington, April 2.—Judge Adam
son thinks it hardly fair that the
Washington dispatches should repre
sent those voting against the Tawney
amendment as being against free lum
ber. He says:
"Many of us were willing to dispense
with the revenue derived from lumber
and put it all on the free list in the
hope that it would help preserve the
forests and regulate the streams and in
some parts of the country make lum
ber a little cheaper, especially as the
Democratic platform demanded free
lumber. In good faith we voted for
free lumber at every opportunity. In
the committee of the whole, on the 6th
inst., we voted for the DeArmond
amendment and the Clark amendment,
both providing free lumber. Un the
9th inst. we voted on roll call in the
House for both of those amendments.
"The Tawney amendment did not
propose free lumber, but was a mon
grel proposition, with the most perni
cious feature of New England protec
tion. It combined in one proposition
free raw material and protection for
the finished product. Some of us re
fused to indorse that doctrine in lum
ber or anything else. It proposed to
admit raw lumber free and tax manu
factured lumber. It would have suited
me just as well if it had been reversed,
so as to admit manufactured lumber
free and tax raw lumber, but it would
have suited a great deal better if it
had made all free.”
Card of Thanks.
We take this method of returning
thanks to the good people of Luther
ville for their kindness to us during
the illness of our dear husband and
father, and for the many words of
sympathy given us in our bereavement.
We trust the future will bring a time
when we may, in some way, show our
thoughtfulness to them.

Swept Over Niagara.
This terrible calamity often happens
because a careless boatman ignores the
river’s warning—growing ripples and
faster current. Nature's warnings are
kind. That dull pain or ache in the
back warns you the Kidneys need at
tention if you would escape fatal mal
adies—Dropsy, Diabetes or Bright’s
disease. Take Electric Bitters at once
and see Backache fly and all your best
feelings return. "After long suffering
from weak kidneys and lame back,
one $1 bottle wholly cured me,” writes
