that your medicine worked like a charm. l

me a hottie of HepatsZone, and commenced
its administration at once, after midnight.
1t a ted on me like a charm, and after less
than half dozen doses (as per directiOn), l
was relieved of all difficulty and bad symp-

STILL STRIKING.
The Light Barrel Coopers Obstinately
Holding Out--Pr0spects for
settlement.

The meeting of the striking coOpers
held at Davenport last evening was large
IL attended. The chairman of the com,
mittee appointed to interview the bosses
reported that he and his associates had
visited them and that general good feel>
ing towards the men prevailed, except
on the part of Mr.. J. D. Woodruff, who
claimed that the strike was war waged
individually against him. All the bosses
signifed their willingness to sign scale
but Mr.. Woodruff, and his views could
not be ascertained. Report of this COM
mittee was adopted. A motion having
been made to allow no drunken or dis
orderly conduct in the meetings. it was
adopted. A motion by the light barrel
coopers to make an assessment of their
membership weekly for the striking coop
ers until the strike was ended was carried
by unanimous vote.
The following committee, composed
of delegate from each shop was ap-
pointed to solicit and receive monies:
Chas. Hanchez, Louis Smith, Henry
Breifeldt, Fritz Miller and Henry Prien
Also the following committee was APP
pointed to solicit assistance from the oil
barrel makers; Levi Goldenberry, Henry
Koeter Fritz Miller, Gustaf Krohn. Hen
ry Kugel was appointed treasurer to re
ceive and dispense funds to unemployed
coopers 1t was decided that any mon
les that should be left on hand at the end
OF the strike shall be donated to the needy
of Davenport. Mr.. Alfred Peterson, OF
the City hotel, rendered the use of his
dining parlors as place of meeting fol-
the coopers Saturday evening at 8 o'clock
which was accepted. All members of the
craft and the Standard Oil company!
coopers were especially invited to b'
present. A session of As minutes dura
ton with closed doors was held and tn,
meeting then adjourned until Saturda!
night
The strike has not yet assumed very
serious proportions, although after the
meeting of last night, it bids fair to. II
is evident that the coopers are deter.
mined to stay until things are hsrmonizeC
and the troubles ale adjuseed satisfacto
rily to themselves.
