Remarkable Rescue.

Mrs. Michael Curtain, Plainfeld, Ill.
makes the statement that she caught
cold, which settled on her lungs; she was
treated for a month by her family physi.
clan, but grew worse. He told her she
she was a hopeless victim of consumption
and that no medicine could cure her. Her
druggist suggested DIR. Kings New Dis
coyery for Consumption; she bought a
bottle and to her delight found herself
benefited from first dose. She continued
its use and after taking ten bottles, found
herself sound and we'll, now does her own
homework and is as well as she ever was.

BUFFALO, Aug. l6.-Three hundred
switchmen and yardmen struck at East
Buffalo this morning. No freight trains
are moving. A large force of police Is on
hand. No serious trouble is anticipated.
The strike wa caused by union men be-
ing ordered from Erie street to take the
place OF union strikers. They came, but
sent a delegation to Superintendent Bur
rows asking him to send them back to the
Erie street depot, as they, being union
men, objected to being detailed to take
tia places of brother u~nionists out on
strike. Burrows refused and they struck.
The strike of the West Shore men is
greeted with joy by the Erie strikers.
To say that the local striking Knights
of labor are iubilant. would be to put it
mildly. They are overioyed at the turn
affairs have taken and seem more conf
dent of success than eyer. Live stock
shipments from this point, despite the as
slstance given by the West Shore, Lacka-
wanna and Erie. are at least a week be-
hind. 1t was learned tonight that the
switchmen on the Central and West Shore
petitioned for Chicago wages before the
strike. Therefore, says one of the labor
~agitators. the switchmen were ready to
strike Monday, anyway, if this had not
been precipitated. As it is now the
switchmen decree that the men must be
taken back and wages raised too.
New York, Aug. 16.-Members OF
the executive board OF the Knights of
Labor were in conference all day. To
night Grand Master Workman Powderly
said: I'VE have endeavored to find out
why the officials of the New York Cen
trail dismissed our members from the SER
vice Of the company, and SO far as our
members are concerned we have their
case. We heve been doing all we can
for a speedy and satisfactory ending OF
the matter"

law of 1888, known as the arid land law,
by the interior department. Attention
is directed to the department circular
Of August, 1889, in which they
were instructed not to permit
entry in any part of the arid region which
came within the operation of the act Of
Oct. 2, 1888. Although IN any case, says
the commissioner, there will be at any
time no designation of land
selected for a site or sites for
reservoirs, bitches or canals for irrigation
purposes, or of land thereby made sus-
ceptible of irrigation, that fact is not to be
considered as showing hat the land is
open to entry, for though not yet selected
it may be. Such selection under said act,
which is held to withdraw all lands so
liable for disposal. is absolute. Obedience
to the order is enjoined.

BERLIN, Aug. l6.-The German IRON
clad Irene and imperial yacht Hohenzol-
lern were sighted off Memele this morn
ing. They stopped for the Emperor Viii
Hams dispatches and then proceeded
northward for Raval, where they are
timed to arrive early to morrow. The
Russian squadron, consisting of eighteen
vessels, under command OF the grand
duke, Alexis. will fire a salute upon the
arrival OF the German vessels. Grand
Duke V. Ladimer will receive the m
peror upon landing. and a regiment of
the st. Petersburg grenadiers, Of which
the kaiser Is honorary colonel, will form
the guard of honor. The emperor's stay
at Raval will be very brief. The car de-
sired that the emperor should go straight
to st. Petersburg instead of landing at a
place where Germkn sentiment continues
strong. The kaiser was not lett in ignor-
ance of the czAr's wishes. but having ex-
pressed his determination to see Rayal, in
which town he wa Interested, he de-
clines to alter his course. The whole cir
cumstances of the emperors entrance
into Russia will initiate against monarch
ism and his meeting with the car will be
in = genuine spirit of cordiality.
At noon the emperor will start for Mar
va That city is also decorated with flags
and garlsnds. A hoetsof Russian police
will guard the approaches to the villa
where the meeting between the car and
emperor takes places, and they will be as
sisted by fifty German police. Public
trafio on the rail way connecting Narva
with st. Petersburg has been suspended
and the line will be used solely for official
business during the coming week,
The imperial conferences at which
Chancellor Won Capr1vi and De Geirs
will be present are expected to last over
three days.

Merely a low price is not an evidence of
cheapness in merchandise. and quotations
of clothing prices are of all things most
deceptive. We do not keep what is called
cheap clothing. We always have some
garments for men and boys at low prices;
but we get them by marking down the
broken lots and slow selling lots of good
quality. These bargain garments advcr-
tise themselves. If you want a serviceable
Overcost, Suit or odd Coat, Vest or pair
of Trousers for very little money, we can
usually supply much better valre than
the price asked would buy in the regular
way. Most people. however, want the
best clothes they can afford to wear. and
our rightly-made garments are intended
to supplant the custom work. Therefore
you cannot Judge OF the prices without
seeing the clothes.
