KEMMLER'S IMPENDING DOOM.
The Electrical Machinery for His Execu-
tion Being Adjusted.

AUBURN, N. Y, April 19.-Mr. Davis,
an electrical expert, arrived here and
has gone to the prison to inspect the ap-
paratus now in preparation to execute
Murderer Kemmler. The fatal chair is
not yet in place and will not be until
very short time before the exc
cution. Davis put in a switch
board by which current, direct from
the dynamo, will be thrown into
two wires connected with the chair.
These last two wires now hang loosely
from the wall, but at the proper time the
chair will be carried to a point near
them and connected. Davis put up a
lamp board, which is gauge to show
the strength of the electrical current, in
the signal bell room where the dynamo
works. This bell will direct the starting
and stopping of the dynamo machinery.
Kemmler knows nothing of these pre-
parations. He is absorbed in religious
matters.

Past Victories, Selected to

New YORK, April 19.-Within less
than fortnight the American Fedora
ton of Labor, body claiming about
$1,000 members, promises to begin
campaign to secure the reduction of the
number Of hours of labor which shall
constitute a days work to eight. The
president of the American Federation of
Labor, in circular published by Brad
streets, says:
Sufficient notice having been given
to all contractors and other parties inter-
ested, on and after the 1st of May, 1890,
the wage-workers affiliated with the
American Federation of Labor will
adopt the eight-hour day as the limit of
a days work, and it is now the duty OF
the executive officers to secure the de-
sired result with the least out
lay OF time and money The his
tory of the industrial development
of this country shows that the eight
hour day cannot be much longer de-
ferred. The Brotherhood of Carpenters
and Joiners, who have been selected to
lead, are full of enthusiasm of past vic
tories. If the employers in the cities OF
the country refuse to adopt the eight
hour day, the carpenters will strike and
will receive the support of the federation
to the fullest extent of it's funds, and
other trades will open their treasures
to sustain them"
Bradstreet's editorially says: GAS the
1st of May approaches the industrial
situation tends to become more and
more troubled. That this uneasiness is
not local is amply shown by the number
and character of the disturbances re-
ported. In Europe, as in the United
States, there is discernible general
tendency on the part of the industrial
employees to secure the readjustment of
the conditions and hours of labor, and
of the compensation therefor. So far
this month there have been 76 strikes
reported, involving 81, ,542 strikers, and
$4,000 men have been rendered idle in
consequence"

SHOT IN THE BACK.
An Old Pioneer Shot by Secret
Assassin.

REDDING, CAL, April l9.-This morn
ing, about sunrise, Theodore Habisch, a
storekeeper, at new town, some five
miles from Redding, was shot in the
back. An Indian tells the story that
Habisch came out of the store and was
looking down toward his field, when a
man living in a cabin short distance
away, crept up and shot him. The
name OF the murderer is unknown here,
but the Indian says he has been en-
ployed by the deceased, and on his dis
charge a month ago bought rifle and
had been brooding several weeks over
real or imaginary wrongs done him by
his former employer. Habisch is an old
pioneer OF the county and is well known.
The Sheriff went to the scene of the
murder this morning and has not yet re-
turned.

SECONDHAND BAGS.
The San Francisco Call Board Rules
Them Out.

Ihem Out.
SAN Francisco, April 19.-The direct
ors of the San Francisco Produce Ex-
change call board yesterday adopted a
rule, to take effect June 1st, that wheat
or barley in secondhand bags is not to
be accepted as good delivery on call
board contracts. Two prominent ship
ping firms had previously announced
that they would not purchase either
kind of grain for export, unless con-
tanned in new bags, claiming that
through the use of secondhand ones
in the previous season, they had suffered
serious loss from weevils, etc. Regard
ing the origin of the destruction by wee
wills, the opinions of the grain men
differ. Some claim that the weevil does
not bore into but grows in the grain,
and afterward works its way out; hence
the question of new or old bags cuts no
figure. However, the call board has ruled
against old bags, and it is expected that
producers will be governed accordingly.

Cured by Cuticura

The disease continued in this manner until
was seventeen years old ,and one day in January
1879, read an account in the Tribune of your
CUTICURA REMEDIES. 1t described my case SO
exactly, that l thought, as last resort, to give
them a trial.
When first applied them was all raw and
bleeding, from scratching myself, but went

done for years. the effect was soothing.
The first morning after usingit my flesh Il had

color Next day it was kind of white, and
could place my hands on the sores without be-
ing painful. In about two weeks 1 could stand
straight, but not walk, was SO weak; but my
sores were nearly well.
AS near as could judge, was cured in about
six or eight weeks and up to this date Il. c. from
January, 1S79 to January, 1897 have not
been sick in any way, or have had the least
signs of the disease re-appearing on me. have
an excellent appetite, have the very best of
health. My limbs are straight, supple and
strong. l have been exposed to all sorts of
weather without the least signs of the disease
yet. The only difference l find in myself is
that my skin is finer softer, and not SO liable to
get chapped as is other persons.
No doubt many persons will not believe this
almost improbable story, many will think it
grossly exaggerated. l don't blame them bit
if they do, but to satisfy themselves, they can
call or write to me and find out if what have
written above is true not. There are many
persons who can testify to the wonderful cure
have received by your CUTICURA REMEDIES.

No remedies ever compounded in the history of
