The news comes from Pennsylvania
that there are 1000 miners there idle be-
cause they cannot make more than 90
cents per day, and this too, after the bril-
liant promises made by political stump
speakers of last fall, telling the miners
that If they would vote In certain way
they would take the matter in to legisls-
lature. There are good many rumbling
complaints among the miners of the ALLIE
ghany mountains. Wages are different
for different reasons. The operators claim
this Is just because the veins are not of
the same thickness and It costs more to
mine In one place than another, and the
coal from one field In the market brings
more money than another. Whatever the
merits of the case are, the fact Is, If tele-
graphic reports are correct, that 1000
miners are refusing to work and that there
may be 1000 strikers more before long

A IInnpY Woman

Happy Is the woman without bodily ills,
but happier is the woman who having

DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. When
relieved, as she surely will be upon trial
of 1t, she can contrast her condition with
her former one of suffering and appreciate
health as none can who have not for a
time been deprived of 1t. The "Favorite
Prescription" corrects unnatural discharges
and cures all weakness and Irregularities
