was SO well pleased with the result, continued its
until three or four bottles had been used, and
she is in better health than at any time for ten
years, and increased in weight from 110 pounds to
1861. have employed physicians, and used great
variety of patent medicines, TO the extent Of hun
dreds of dollars, and know she received more ben-

Deficit Reported from 81. Louis


ST. LOUIS, Aug. 12-The Evening Post pub
fishes statement purporting to be entirely re
liable. but with the authority not given, which
says the July interest on the state bonds is not
paid but that $22O,000 of coupons are held by
bank inlNew York till it shall dis pose of Kan
sas City water works bonds to reimburse itself.
These bonds are said to be part of the security
which the state treasurer holds for his deposit
on the recently suspended Martin Bank of
Kansas City.
The statement further says that in addition
to this deficit in interest money the state treas.
urer has during his whole term of Office carried
among his assets a worthless check on the Mar
tin Bank for 1896, 800, which was accepted by
the legislative examlng committee as cash,
making deficit in the state treasury of over
S5OO,0OO, in addition to thu amount lost by the
failure of the National Bank of the State of
Missouri and the sums admitted by the state
treasurer to be deposited in the Martin Bank.
The amounts are alleged to have been stolen
by the ring which has controlled the state treas
ury, and that the only resoUrss the state has is
the treasurer's bond, which is comparatively
worthless, aud about $500, 900 in bonds oil the

Railroad EMPLOYEES Lacked Ont

MILWAUKEE, Aug. 12.-The trouble at the
shops of the Mil lwaukee & st. Paul railway
assumed a new phase today. Saturday night
the men who quit work at noon held meeet-
ing and resolved to accept the reduction, At the
same time protesting gainst it. They went to
the shops as usual this morning, but found a
notice posted on the door that those who with
drew from the service Saturday are hereby noti-
he'd that the company is not disposed to furn-
lSh them with employment until further notice
nor until such time as mutual understanding
shall be had
The men then assembled at their hall, where
speeches were made by several members and
resolution passed declaring that this is not a
strlk put lockout. A committee waited up
on General Manager Merrill but no def mite re-
suit was reached, and another conference was
appointed for tomorrow. Between $50 and 400
men are out ia consequence
The officials of the railway say that the
reduction only affected those who were
receiving more than 50 30 per day, and that 10
no case did it exceed per cent. it being done
more to eqnalze the pay than anything else as
the entire savings to the company aggregate
only 1921 per month; that the trouble is caused
by few sgitators who themselves have been
receiving the highest wages paid by the COM
paDy, but they have trough the union compelled
others to stand by them. Assistant General
Manager CAN'T says that owing to the failure
OF the wheat crop the Company would be COM
pelled to reduce the expenses rather than DIS
charge part of their force. They intended as
has been the custom in such cases of late years
to work on short time thus giving all their
men chance to earn something. Heretofore
this arrangement has been entirely satisfactory
to the men. Gault thinks that the difficulty
will be amcably settled at to-morrow's con-
