TuR heart is force pump which pro-
pels the blood on its roundtrips through
the human body. 1t is n powerful hol-
low muscle and contracts with tre-
mendous energy. When it ceases to net
we die. When the blood is pure the
heart sends life to our remotest ex-
tremeties. When the blood is bad or
poisoned the heart sends disease and
death to thesame spots. Organic disease
Of this vital organ causes weakness and

This was in pursuance of the decision
reached by the Grievance Committee OF
the G. NJ, & St P. at a three days ses-
sion held in Chicago last week. That
decision is one OF the many facts that the
Brotherhood has carefully suppressed.
The Joint committee OF engineers and
firemen, after long session, decided to
handle "Q.n freight and the individual
members oithe committee reported their
decision back to their various sub-divi-
sions, With hardly an exception the
subdivisions rejected the report Of their
delegates, and declared that they would
refuse to handle co. freight. Several
OF the delegates rendered their rcsigna-
tions and were superseded by more radi-
cal engineers. The peculiar state OF af-
fairs wdBtreported to the strike head.

Committee ordered for tomorrow.
This was the situation when Division
Superintendent Collins issued the order.
There were exactly 73 cars in the Mil
waukee yards, A train OF 20 cars was
made mp and hauled nearly to Western
avenue before the engineer, J. X. Henry,
was informed that he was hauling
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy cars. He
stopped his engine, pulled the coupling
pin, and run his machine to the round
house. The yardmaster telephoned the
news to Division Superintendent Col.
Inns, and was instructed 10 find an en-.
pineer who would take the boycotted
train over to the Burlington yard. He
called on two Brotherhood engineers
and was given an emphatic refusal. HI
finally found n non-Brotherhood en-
gineer who consented. but was check
mated by the Brotherhood fireman, who
/ refused. The yaFdmaster gave 4
up us bad job, and the twenty
nine cars still stand within sigh
OF Western avenue. This was a decideC
surprise to the Milwaukee officials, who
had been notified that the two Brother

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 13.-The

Col. Lazelle, in charge of the publication
of the official war records, Of newspaper
war correspondence to the Philadelphia

OF Anderson's Regiment OF Volunteer
Cavalry at Philadelphia before the battle
Murfreesboro. The document was pre-.
faced with note saying it was official,
and carefully compared with the rec

is found to be untrue. He publishes the
400 us in the battle; the official reports
show there were 200, and that the re.
mainder OF the regiment were skulk-

ed to develop a sensation. La.
zelle is hedging, and says he was
imposed on from high quarters. The
