The State Committee Decides on Date and
Place for the Convention.
CHICAGO, March THE Republican state
central committee met at the Grand Pacific
Tuesday to selects place and time for the state
convention, and the occasion was marked as
usual by a large gathering of prominent Re-
publicans of the state, and a 'love feast" at
which the visitors made speeches and pre-
dicted success in November. Among the
speakers-who came from every COMPRESSION
al district-were Messrs. Fifer and McNulta,
Gen. Rinaker, Maj. Connolly, and Attorney
General Hunt. May of the speakers were
candidates for the positions which the conven-
ton will make selections for, and Others nave
their eyes on congress.
The coming man for the presidential
nimination was tho subject of many sugges-
tions, but it was noticeable that Judge
Gresham was very loudly cheered when his
name was mentioned. After the speeches
were all made the committee proceeded to
the business in hand, and il took but a short
time to agree on Springfield as the place for
holding the state convention, and May Q as
the date. Then the question Of representa-
ton came up, and it was decided to allow one
delegate for each 400 Republican votes and
one more for each fraction over 200, the count
to DO made from the Blaine vote. This will
give S47 votes in the convention.

WAITING FOR DEVELOPMENTS.
fsun,ors of n Radical Move In the 90
Strike-The Road booming.

CHICAGO, March An ominous quiet per-
vaded the brotherhood headquarters Tues
day, but Chief Arthur was wearing q look Of
serenity that was variously interpreted. The
most general opinion, however, was that q
Ceneral strike on the western lines had about
been decided upon, as a derrier resort to bring
the 20" to terms. There were statements
flying around that several railways had been
caught assisting the 90" which would give
an excuse for such a radical move. For the
fact Is that, Notwithstanding Arthur's
serenity-which he insisted wa due entirely
TO a firm belief in ultimate v~ictory-the 40"
is not being greatly troubled just now, if the
officials tell the truth, and the strike is over so
far as they are concerned.
General Freight Agent Ripley issued an
other notice to shippers to the effect that the
road was prepared to accept all through
freight except live stock for all stations east
of the Missouri river on the 20" and its leased
or connecting lines in Iowa, Missouri, Hi
nois, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. The report
of General Passenger Agent Morton showed
that on Monday Ito trains were in motion in
Iowa and 100 in Illinois, and that Tuesday
200 were moving in the latter state and 500
upon the entire system. An absolute denial
was given to the statement that a large
number OF engines had been burned out at
various points by inexperienced men, and
the statement reiterated that under no cir
cmnstances would the company discharge the
men that had helped it out in its hour of
need. They admitted that they were some
what concerned over the report that connect
ing lines would be tied up as soon as the 20"
began its interchanging business, but said in
reply that it would be time enough to cross
this bridge when it was reached, and that in
any event the roads being commentators
could not refuse to accept freight when Of
fered.
All Of the dispatches received by Arthur
during the day were of an encouraging ma
ture. There was one from division Is of the
brotherhood, located at Buffalo, stating that
a draft for 81 QUO was on tho way; another
from Sacramento, Cal. a third from Pitts
burg, others from Harrisburg, New York,
Boston, Baltimore, and other points. Nearly
all promised financial assistance and urged
the chief to stand out to the end.

my son, aged thirteen years, who has been af-
hlcted with eczema for long time, and am

cured him. His sufferings were intense, his
head being nearly raw, his ears being gone ex-
cept the gristle, and his body was covered
with sores. His condition was frightful to be-
hold. The sores have now all disappeared
his skin is healthy, eyes bright. cheerful in
disposition, and is working every day. My
neighbors are witnesses to this remarkable
cure, and the doubling ones are requested to
call or write me, or any of my neighbors.
