The Terrible Experience of Six Men Amid
the Waves of Michigan.
CHICAGO, November ga thrilling
scene was enacted yesterday three miles out
in the lake, opposite Twelfth street. The
storms of the last two days have made the
lake very rough. At the point indicated
contractors are sinking heavy iron caisson
to serve as an inlet for a new water supply
tunnel which terminates there. A wooden
crib surmounts it, and on Wednesday the
heavy waves began to break off the boards
covering it. There were 10 men at work in
the caisson. Three tugs were sent out on
Wednesday, and after working all day sue
ceeded in rescuing four of the men. The
others remained on board. In a little tower
above the crib is stove. This tower can
accommodate only two persons at time,
and all night Wednesday and part of
yesterday the six men took turns at warm.
ing and drying themselves at this stove and
then descending to the crib, where they be-
came soaked and ice covered.
Tugs were sent to their rescue, but could
not get at them. Then the Government life
boat was tried, with no better success. Fl.
nally Superintendent Sanger decided to risk
everything in behalf of the imperiled lives,
and after two and half hours of most he
roic and hazardous work, took off four of
the men, The other two declined to take
the chances of a leap into the tug, seeing
how their companions we're buffeted, and as
there was room in the little tower for both of
them, they were left there for the night.
This morning tug was sent out and they
were taken of.

LABOR TROUBLES.
The Important Statement Made by a
Prominent Iron Worker.
A MATTER OF PUBLIC INTEREST.

"I am an iron worker by trade, and was
brought up in the business from my boy
hood, and 1 think it is to my work that I
can partially lay the cause of my trouble. +"
The speaker was Mr.. Francis Knox, Of
No. 1886 Second avenue. He is employed at
the Eliza Furnace, operated by Messrs.
Laughlins & Jones.
'sI would become overheated at my work, %
continued Mr.. Knox, 'and would then step
out into the air to cool of. 1 would catch
cold after cold. but paid very little atten-
ton to them. Finally, some time ago, I
found was getting into bad shape. Ny
head became stopped up and ached me con-
tinually. A dull, heavy pain directly over
the eyes. My nostrils would clog up, first
on one side and then on the other. Ny
throat became raw, and was all choked up.
A dry hacking cough set in. There would
be dropping back of mucus into my throat,
and was constantly hawking and raising
large clots of phlegm.
my trouble gradually grew worse. There
was a constant ringing noise in my head.
Ny eyes were weak and discharged watery
substance.

A CORNER IN CORN.
The Yellow Ears Take Big Jump in
the Chicago Mnrket-Believed That
the Price Will Reach One
noIIor
Dollar To-Day.

CHICAGO, November 29.-Aftera long in
terval of comparative neglect, the corn
market commanded once more position in
teresting to the spectators. A corner in
the present months delivery quickly de-
veloped itself. So unprepared were the keen
scalpers, who are nothing if not watchful for
signs of such movements, that one of their
number sold 10000 bushels for November
delivery at 351kc, "Just for scalp" as he
said when ne made the sale. A few minutes
later he paid 41c to get it back, the $3.50
scalp hanging to the other mans belt.
The subsequent course of the market
proved that the last purchase was wise, even
if the previous sale had been foolish. The
opening price of November was 331fc, and
about the same time sales were made at
from 34c to 34Zc. The price quickly ad-
vanced amid great excitement to 35c, 36Hc,
1910, then off to 3Sc. upward once more,
reaching on the second stretch to 60c Out
side news and other influences outside of
the corner are neglected or ignored, and the
December delivery received some stimulus
from the fact that the parties said to be the
principal holders of seller the month con-
tracts had been heavy purchasers of De-
cember for a week back. There is only
sbOut $1,000 bushels of No. 2 yellow corn
In store here now. There was a fair amount
of activity in the other futures, and an ad-
vance all around was in the end estab-
lished, November closing at Doc bid, or
21Ac higher than it closed on Wednesday.
There were all sorts of rumors about the
deal. Some people thought that it was run
by Jack Cudahy, while others had it that it
was the work of Eastern traders, and still
others thought that certain wealthy alder
men were back of it. Quite a number
claimed that Hutchinson was short 100000
bushels of corn, but others were confident
that he was running the deal. This was the
way he sprang his great wheat corner last
year, and it was regarded as q significant
fact that he paid Gle for carlots of cash No.
2 corn this morning just after some had been
sold for %. It is predicted that the price
will be put up to 81 tomorrow.

verified.

the assertion is questionable, and yet it did
not work injustice to anyone.
The institutions named are purely mutual.
There is no speculation involved. They
furnish a safe outlet for surplus accumula-
tions, furnish q savings bank for people
who wish to borrow at intervals without
giving mortgages, and get cheap rate of
interest in an emergency. A member may
take stock, and when he needs money he
can borrow on a stock note and pay 6L per
cent interest, but his rebate in the shape of
profits brings the interest down to 81 per
cent. In this mutual plan money is loaned
to outsiders 50 long as there are members
applying, and in 20 years there has rarely
been any money to spare, either being bor-
rowed on stock note or absorbed In the
formation Of a new series.
MAKING SAVINGS BANKS OF THEM.
The business men of Mt. Washington
have of late years utilized these organiza-
tions for the placing of their surplus ae-
cumulations, and some of them carry as
high as 30 shares, which in par value equal
$40, ,00O and as during the dull season. when
building operations are suspended, money
accumulates, Mr.. c. 7. Bown has submitted
q proposition to loan on four months time
on stock note: The advantage to the bor-
rover is that if he is not able to lift his note it
makes no difference. He is not obliged to do
so, as he is merely borrowing his own money
and gets it at 3H per cent while his invest
ment pays 81 per cent.
As some oil these organizations loan but 90
per cent on the appraised value of property,
while others loan 66 per cent on the same,
the former are considering the advisability
of increasing the limit, as they labor under
a disadvantage when the money market is
dull. 1t is argued that it is perfectly safe
to loan two-thirds of appraised value, if the
Appraisement Committee be composed of
conservative men, and in associations con-
tanning a considerable German infusion,
such is generally the case. Mr.. Q. 81.
BeschprOposes also to form an association
or lead someone to his plan, that will re-
duce the weekly installments SO as to
reach the poorest class to whom the saving
of even a dollar week may be sacrifice.
Building and loan associations are not re-
garded favorably by savings bank people as
they sap the resources OF the latter and are
not taxed, but the, associations laugh the
banks to scorn, and say that they, the build
ing and loan associations, are now too strong
to allow the imposition OF any shackles; that
they are the savings banks of the poor, and
they point to the building of Philadelphia
and Baltimore as evidences of what they
can accomplish, square miles of houses in
each of these cities having been built
through their operation.

Showing the Outline Of Route which is
Often Followed.
When person with a delicate constitu-
tion has tendency to catarrh or consupp-
tion-whether this tendency is inherited or
results from taking cold easily-it is notice
able that that person invariably loses flesh
and loses strength, showing that the nutri-
tion is interfered with.
In such a case the sufferer should at once
be placed under influences that will re-
store the defective nutrition and tend to in
vigorate the constitution.
1t is to be remembered in every case the
presence of catarrh is an evidence of predispo-
sition to consumption, and matter how slight
the greatest care and the treatment should be
continued until all traces of the catarrh have
disappeared.
If the catarrh is allowed to reach the smallest
tubes in the lungs-which condition is indicated
by the splitting up Of yellow material-then
immediate attention to the malady Is de-
manded, or serious lung trouble will result
Catarrh is, nine times out Of ten, the cause
that produces consumption. and hence no one
can afford to neglect case Of catarrh however
slight 1t is easily cured, If taken in time and
treated regularly and correctly by specialist

ways little deeper into the lungs until cure
becomes difficult and sometimes impossible
II should like to be treated" a lady remarked
the other day. "but would not like to have my
name in the paper" Let it be stated that Drs
Copeland & Blair never publish a name or
statement without the full and free consent Of
the patient, nor do they publish one hundrsdth
part of the testimonials, letters and statements
received by them from grateful patients. As
observed the statements given are entirely vol
untary, and are given by the patients for publi-
cation. Drs. Copeland q Blair would never
publish the most emphatic testimonial unless
the patient giving it understood that it was to
be printed and gave willing consent.

treatment by mail with Drs Copeland & Blair
for her catarrhal trouble.
On June she wrote: Your medicine is

Mr.. M. e. Wilson. who commenced using the
home treatment early in July, wrote on the 18th
of the same month: y am improving steadily;

August l6 he wrote Il am feeling like
