FOR KNIGHTS OF LABOR.
Items Of Industrial Importance Cleaned for
the Masses.

The capacity of freight cars has been
wonderfully increased in the last few years.
Formerly 10000 pounds we're considered a
car load, but that amount was afterwards
raised to $4,000 pounds and now cars can
be seen ON the Lehigh Valley Railroad
with their capacity marked up to 10000
pounds. 1t is stated that the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company is building gondola cars
almost entirely of iron with capacity of
100000 pounds or 50 tons.
"A. A. Carlton, of the Executive Board
of the X. Of L., says: "The reason for my
saying the Knights are in better condition
now than ever is because they are begin
ming to think intelligently. They begin to
see that the proper result cannot be at
tanned by strikes and boycott. Educate and
agitate, and the public will see that the
workingmen are treated fairly.
The Chicago Times says the knights
have lost thousands of members in that city
ince the kick in last October. About 80,
900 have joined society formed by the
kickers The shoemakers talk of forming
trades district. The painters have drop
ped out, and nearly all the carpenters have
also left the organization.
The Knights in the Albany breweries
have been taken back on verbal ngree-
ment, which provides for about the same
rules as have been in force heretofore. Only
one brewery is yet non-union.
The capacity of the Findlay (O,)
natural gas wells squirting already is SO, ,OOO,-
600 feet, and it is claimed that if all the
beds were developed sufficient oil could be
obtained to supply the world.
The Knights intend to start CO.
operative colony on several hundred acres OF
ground near Glenwood Springs, Col. Cam
ing factories and other establishments will
be operated
Belgium exported 10,l tons of steel
rails in January, February and March
5000 tons less than the quantity sent to

1t is just such scene as western land
agents try to picture to our minds of rail-
road building in some of their "wildcat"
towns which exist only either in their i'm

fanciful about this however, and the close
of the present year will see many improve
ments in our recuperative town.

Tho Rass,t of Mari,

When anything stands test of fifty years
among discriminating people, it is pretty
good evidence that there is. merit somewhere.
Few, if any medicines have met with such
continued success and popularity as has
marked the progress of Brandreth's Pills
which, after trial of over fifty years, are
conceded to be the safest and most effectual
blood purifier, tonic and alternative ever in
troduced to the public.
That this is the result of merit and that
Brandrefs Pills perform all that is claimed
for them, is concluslvely proved by the fact
that those who regard them with the great
est favor are those who have used them the
longest.
Brandreth's Pills are sold in every drug
and medicine store, either plain or sugar
coated.
