the pork we sell is corn-fed, raised

sweetest pork you ever bought, and
the flavor is consequently superior.

“UNCLE JOE"
IS ‘PQOHBAH”
THE DISCOVERY OF THE HIGHLY
INTELLIGENT I’OSTOEEK E
FORCE.
FIND RACE A COMBINATION
Cranks All Over America Have
Singled Out the Speaker of the
House us Their Correspondent—He
GetN Ream After Ream of I'oetry.
IRE PACKING HOUSE MARKET
H. 1. RYliANT, Drop.
Washington. Feb. 8.—<Who is
“The Queen of Kngjpnd?" “The
government of the United States:'
“His Majesty, the head of the gov-
ernment,’’ and “Uncle Joe" all rolled
into one?’* .
A highly intelligent'corps of post-
office clerks in Washington hay/
already found that rare combination
in the person of Joseph Gurney jQSin-
non, speaker of the house of Repre-
sentatives.
Cannon is known far/ and wide
as “Uncle Joe," the “Iron Duke ot
American Politics,” “the czar of the
house," and, perhaps, owming to in-
surgents, by pome other rather more
opprobrious nicknames, but the gov-
ernment, through the postoffice de-
partment, apparently gives sub-
stantiation to the complaint of insur-
gents that “Uncle Joe” is the main
works the machinery of the gov-
ernment.
Probably no man in official Wash-
ington receives as many peculiar
epistles as the speaker. Cranks all
over the country seem to single him
out as a correspondent. Within the
past month "Uncle Joe" has receiv-
ed: a letter advising him that he is
heir to a fortune running into mil-
lions (purely mythical); a letter
purporting to have been written by
a patriotic American girl, warning
against Japanese spies; a Nightletter
of about 250 words, demanding abol-
ition of the United States senate, and
a letter addressed to “The Queen
of England,,f demanding protection
against spooks.
Reams of poetry deluge the speak-
er's mail. Geniuses with reform
schemes write him many-paged com-
munications; inventors ask aid; beg-
gars pray for assistance; the army
of the jobless demand places on the
payroll; enthusiastic republicans
write to congratulate or condemn his
views, and finally, plain cranks sub-
ink all their grievances to him.
Most of this sort of mail matter
never reaches tile speaker. ,.*t is
consigned to the waste basket by 1.
White Busby, Uncle Joe's secretary.
Occasionally, however, some partic-
ularly unique communication reaches
the speaker's desk, and, like as not,
the Iron Duke of American Politics
writes a letter in reply.
It seems to be the rule in the
Washington postoffice that when a
letter is received addressed to some
power who doesn't exist it is referr-
ed to the speaker.

IS CONSIDERABLY CHANGED
A Comprehensive Survey of the Ar-
ray of Men Win* Are to Constitute
the Upper House at Washington
After March 1th.
^Austin, Tex., Feb. 8.—The house
nt a considerable part of yester-
ay discussing newspapers. The
morning was occupied with the Mar-
tin bill to require newspaper corpor-
ations to file sworn statements show-
ing their stockholders, in the debate
no one made the charge, although
it was intimated, that the belief ex-
isted in some quarters that certain
Texas newspapers were controlled by
breweries and special interests. On
the hearing of the bill before the
house committee on municipal cor
porations specific accusations con-
cerning certain newspapers were
made. They were not repeated to-
day On tlie floor of the house.
The house refused to engross the
bill, killing it by an adverse major-
ity of seven votes.
Immediately thereafter it took up
the Sight of contract bill. This, a3
engrossed, permits newspapers to
exchange advertising space for rail-
road transportation, provided their
contracts for such arrangement are
filed with and approved by the rail-
road commission. However, the bill
was handed down with many amend-
ments, authorizing the issuance of
free tramyxmtation to many classes.
The obvious purpose of these amend-
ments was to kill the bill, as was
done two years ago.
LIFE SAVED AT DEATH’S DOOR
“I never felt so near my grave,'
writes W. R. Patterson of Welling-
ton, Tex., as when a frightful cougn
and lung trouble pulled me down to
100 pounds, in spite of doctor's
treatment for two years. My father,
mother and two sisters died of con-
sumption and that I am alive today
is due solely to Dr. King's New
Discovery, which -completely cured
me. Now I weigh 1ST pounds and
have been well and strong for years."
Quick, safe, sure, its the best remedy
on earth for coughs, colds, lagrlppe,
asthma, croup and all throat, and
lung troubles. 50c and $1.00. Trial

Ohio's “Blind Man Eloquent’’
/ Bellefontaine, O., Feb. 8.—Judge
Vvilliam H. West, known as “the
blind man eloquent" and who for
many years was one of the forenufst
public men' of Ohio, will celebrate
ills eighty-sixth birthday anniversary
tomorrow, surrounded by his chil-
dren, grand children and great grand
children. Judge West is the sole
surviving member of the Ohio del-
egation which supported Abraham
Lincolu for president. In 1877 he
was the republican nominee for gov-
ernor and in 1884 he presented the
name of James G. Blaine to the na-
tional republican convention in Chi-
cago.

Strain and weaken the system
and if not cheeked may develop into
pneumonia. No danger of this
when Foleys Honey and Tar is taken
promptly. It is a reliable family
medicine for all coughs and colds,
and acts quickly and effffectively in
cases of croup. Refuse substitutes.

A COURT AT HOLYROOD
AFTER CORONATION INTENTIONS
OF ENGLISH ROYALTY.
The News Received With Pleasure
at Edinburgh and in Scotland
Generally.
Edinburg Feb. 8. v The announce-
ment that soon after the coronation
the king and queffl are to visit Edin-
burg and • hold a levee and court in
old Holyrood palace has been receiv-
ed with much gratification by the
people of Scotland. The announce-
ment is all the more interesting from
the intimation it contains that the
king and queen will probably reside
at the palace during their stay in
Edinburg. If this proves true it will
be tlie first time in more than eighty
years that old Holyrood has shelter-
ed the sovereign. King “Edward and
Queen Alexandra came to Edinburg
soon after their coronation and held
a court at Holyrood, but their Ma-
jesties did not, however, take up
their residence at. the palace, which
at that, time was undergoing exten-
sive repairs. *
Old Holyrood Palace was originally
a consent, supposed to have been
founded in 1128 by David I. it be-
came a regular royal residence in
the time of James IV., and James ..
built the apartments known as
Queen Mary's. With the exception
of these apartments tlie whole pal-
ace was burned at the close of the
civil war, and Charles II. erected
the present palace. Tlfe apartments
of Queen Mary remain in the same
state as when occupied by her. In
the bedroom is an ancient bed and
other furniture, ami on one side of
the room is the door of the secret
passage by which tlie conspirators
against Rizzio entered in 1566.
