The most incredible stories are told
of Russian jurymen. Thus, the fore-
man of a jury declared he would not

on a verdict of guilty when the church
bells began to ring. They revised their
verdict because a. holiday had begun.

THE
“any New Faces In Congress—The Gal-
leries Crowded—President McKinley
Quoted by a Correspondent
as flavoring Arbitration.
WASHINGTON, March lit—The main in-
terest in the assembling of thc'Fifty—fifth
congress in extra. session today under Pres— I
ident McKinley’s 'call centered at the house
and of the capitol, where the organization
of the new house and the seat lottery were
the drawing cards. Great crowds were at-
tracted to the gallei'ies‘hours before noon.
But the general public had small oppor-
tunity to view the proceedings.
inonly known as the “black belt,” which
has a. seating capacity of. about 300, was I " T111 so glad, brother,
given up to the public. The other galler-
ies were strictly reserved for ticket holders.
The most striking feature of the Scene on
the floor was the number of new faces. Old,
familiar figures conspicuous in the shock
THOMAS I: REED.
of many a. parliamentary battle had disap-
peared and in the new lists were new and
untried knights. The change in the per-
sonnel was very great.
By 11 o‘clock the reserved galleries, with
the exception of those for the diplomatic
corps and the executive, were walled in,
tier 'on tier. The bright costumes of the
ladies gave light and color to the animated
scene. Below the members were greeting
each other, and the 112111 buzzed with the
low babel of many voices. A basket of
American Beauty roses graced the desk of
the speaker.
As the hands of the clock pointed to 12
o’clock Major McDowell, the clerk of the
house, rapped the house to order. In-
stantly the hum of conversation ceased.
Rev. Couden of Michigan, the blind chap-
lain~ of the house, then delivered the invo-
cation, appealing to the throne for God’s
blessing 011 the work of the' new congress
and the new administration. The clerk
of the house then read the president’ s
proclamation convening congress, after
which the roll of members was called.
The calling of the roll occupied half an
hour. At its conclusion Clerk McDowell
announced the presence of 337 members.
After admonishing members and the
galleries to preserve order he announced
that the next business in order would be
the electibn of a speaker. There were no
nominating speeches. '
Reed Again Speaker.
Mr. Grosvenor (Rep. , O.) placed in nom-
ination “Thomas Brackett Reed of
Maine.” His name was greeted with a
round of vigorous applause and hand clap-
ping from the Republican members, in
which the galleries joined. Mr. Richard—
son (Dem., ’lenn. ) placed in nomination
Joseph W. Bailey of Texas, Whereat the
Democrats applauded, and Mr. Simpson
(Pop., Kan.) named John C. Bell of Colo-
rado. The scattering applause of the two-
score of Populists which followed the an-
nouncement of Mr. Bell’s name raised a
laugh.
Before the roll was called on the election
of speaker Mr. McMillin '.,(Dem Tenn.)
explained that his credentials had not ar-
rived, but he would ask unanimous con-
sent to be sworn in with the other mem-
bers. Several other similar requests were
proffered, but the clerk said he had no au-
thority to entertain them. Clerk McDow-
ell announced that the roll call was com—
plete except for the credentials from the
Tenth Iowa, Sixth Maryland, Fourth and
Ninth Tennessee, First Texas and from
Utah.
Two members had died since the elec-
tion, James J. Davidson of the Twenty—
fifth Pennsylvania and Richard P. Giles
of the First Missouri.
The roll was then called on the election
of speaker.
Messrs. Loudenslager (Rep, N. J. ),
Richardson (Dem., Tenn.) and Simpson
(Pop, Kan.) acted as tellers, taking their
seats at the clerk’s desk for that purpose
The vote iesulted: Reed, 199; Bailey,
1141; Bell, 21, and Newlands (Silverite,
Nev), 1
Upon the formal announcement by the
clerk that “Mr. Reed, having received a
majority of the votes, was elected,” the
Republicans applauded.
McKinley For Arbitration.
LONDON, March~ 16.-—The correspondent
of the London Times in the United States,
Mr. George W. Smalley, gives his impres-
sions today as gathered from a. conversa-
tion with President McKinley. With ref-
erence to the arbitration treaty the presi-
dent is quoted as saying:
“There is no subject on which I feel
more strongly. I abide by every word of
my address. ”
Mr. Smulley adds:
“The president is for the treaty as orig-
inally presented to the senate, or at least
without any amendment affecting its effi-
ciency.
“He showed real interest in and knowl-
edge of foreign affairs and does not intend
to take any new departure in regard to
' Cuba.
“He is still a convinced protectionist.
but he recognizes the circumstances are al-
tered and will not return to the 1890 tariff.
“He has very earnest and strong vieWs
regarding bimetallism, will do his utmost
to promote it and will exhaust all means
to secure an international agreement, be—
lieving that prosperity depends upon it.
“This, however, does not imply that he
is any the less firm in his resolve to main-
tain the gold standard.
“The impression which the conversation
gave Was one of confidence. ”'

Something new is an experiment.
Must be proved to be as represented.
Be successful at home or you doubt it.
The statement of a manufacturer is
not convincing proof of merit.
But the endorsement of friends is.
Now supposing you had a bad back.
A lame, weak or aching one.
Would you experiment on it
You will read of so many so- -called
cures.
But they come from far away places.
It’ :1 different when the endorsement
comes from home.
Easy to prove that it is so. ..
Home endorsement is the proof that

Read this case:
Mrs. C. Malone, who resides at No.
31 Plattsville avenue has reached the
allotted span of life, being seventy
years of age and 13 the mother of eight
ch1ldren. She says: “I had kidney
and urinary troubles for years. Severe
headaches and scantiness of kidney se-
cretions. Igot a box of Doan’ s Kid-
ney Pills at Hale 3 drug store. I did
not take them all for I did not need
them. They cured me and I am glad to
recommend them to anyone who suf-
fered as I did. ”
Dean’s Kidnev Pills do this if taken
as directed. They tone up the kidneys
and force them to perform their func-
tions properly. They actually cure the
most stubborn cases of kidney disease.
Dean’s Kidney Pills act at once. ' You
can feel their effects in an hour or so.
