CUEE FOR PILE-

Piles are frequently preceded by a sense
of want Of weight in the back, loins and
lower part OF the abdomen, causing the
patient to suppose he has some affection
Of the kidneys or neiehboring organs. AT
times, symptoms ofindigestiOn are present
haiulency, uneasiness of the stomach, etc.
A moisture like perspira.ion producing a
very disagrccable itching. after geititg

bleeding and itching piles yield at once to
the application of'Dr. Bosanko's Pile
Remedy, which acts directly on the parts
effected. absorbing the tumors, a~llaying

FoR some reason there is much talk in
the press and among business men on the
subject Of a revival of business activity.
Even that chronic fault finder, Brdd

and bankers and business men talk as if a
period Of prosperity had already dawned
This can hardly be entirely fictitious. 4

IN a erouudless uniform declaration that
business has taken a start, that prices are
firm if not higher, and the beginning Of
the end Of hard times had come. Men

CHICAGO, July 1.-THE situation with
reference to the strike on the west side
street railway is in statu quo. BY advice
of the municipal authorities no further at
tempt will be made to start the cars until
after the Fourth. Trips were made Friday
until S p. m under :. the protection
of the police, but no passengers
to any number were carried Both sides are
still firm and determined to stand their
ground. The feeling of the citizsns is
largely in sympathy with the strikers, as it
is the general leliof that the recent action
of the company was not in the line of "man-
aging their own business but an attempt
to break up the car-men's association
CHICAGO, July Con Saturday Mayor
Harrison sent letter to the strikers anC
also to the railway company, urging thai
the existing difficulties be settled by arbi'
tration, suggesting that some of The
Judges on the bench be chosen to decide
the matter. At a meeting held in thu
evening the strikers unanimously decided
to conform with the mayors views, but
the railway company says 1t will not com
ply with the request 1t is difficult tt

CLEVELAND, July 6.-The strike at the
Cleveland rolling has spread until
every workman il now out There was IN
tense excitement in the vicinity OF the mills
Friday. Nothing unusual occurred Thursday
night, but early Friday morning about l,0Do
Poles and Bohemians assembled at the
mill yard gate They were commanded by
the big fellow who led them Thursday At
Z O'Clock about fifty men, dinner ais in
hand, approached the mills, evidently in
tending to 60 to work. The strikers
requested them to join them or
return home Several complied, but the
majority answered insultingly and tried TO
push through the ranks. Clubs, stones and
cinders were brought to play upon them,
and they beat hasty retreat. Ned Lilley,
boss OF the Merchant mills attempted to
pass into the mill, but several men stopped
him and sent him home.
Shortly after = o'clock the mob of Poles
and Bohemians started down the Cleveland
& Pittsburg railroad, and after overpower-
ing the gatekeeper they filed into the mill
yard and marched down to the plate-mlll.
They stopped the engines OF the pudd le,
sheet and hammer mills, and would not al
low the men to finish the iron in the furnace.
The iron was accordingly drawn out and
thrown aside.
Superintendent Patton at this jun cture
ordered the stoppage of the mill The
crowd stayed in the mill until the fires were
all out and then formed in procession and
marched TO the blast furnaces of the com
pany, three miles distant One hundred
men there were compelled to quit, and the
fires were banked
Thus far the police have had no collisions
with the men. Many rumors Of serious
rioting were afloat Friday, but they were
| almost without foundation. Three thou
sand strikers held an orderly meeting Fri
| day night and resolved TO stand firm.
They will meet again and present their case
| to this company.
