This is the season Of the year when people
take cold easily.
A cold is not the simple thing most people
imagine. 1t is serious matter.
A cold is the forerunner of an enfeebled
condition which may result in a severe ILL
ness, if not death.
Why do people take cold? :? Because the
system is weakened; because of loss of
tone, of health.
Derangement of the stomach and bowels,
weakness of heart and lungs, dizziness and
similar troubles, = these conditions favor
taking cold, and pave the way for serious
ills.
The way to avoid taking cold is to keep
well. If you are perfectly well it is simply
impossible to take cold or to contract conta-
gious diseases.
There is one safe way to avoid colds and
to preserve health, and that is, to take HID
DEN's MAGNETIC COMPOUND.
When you detect the first symptoms of a
cold, such as sneezing, dull pressure about
the brain, a feeling of weakness, of lassi-
tude, you will find this remedy the perfect
panacea.
1t quickly tones up the stomach and
bowels, regulates the action of the heart,
frees the lungs of poisonous deposits, clears
the brain, gently stimulates the nervous
system-in other. words, restores the patient
to full and perfect health.
HIDDEN's MAGNETIC COMPOUND should
always be kept in the house. 1t is inyalu-
able at this season of the year.
All druggists sell it. Price, 81 per bottle.
The genuine is never sold for less. If you
wish to try THE COMING MEDICINE, ask for

FIGHT IN THE PENITENTIARY,
Ono Burglar in tho Brush Factory Stabs
Another Slightly.

Ono Burglar in tho Brush Factory Stabs
Another Slightly.
Last Friday afternoon one of the convicts
in the Western Penitentiary stabbed an
other convict in the back. At the time
Warden Wright was away. Since the
death of his wife he has been recovering
from the long strain by taking trip abroad,
accompanied by his daughter. He Is ex-
pected to re-embark from Southampton on
the oath of the present month.
During his absence the penitentiary was
under the charge of Hugh Mexican, the
deputy warden. Mr.. Mexican said last
evening: ''The quarrel to which you refer
was between two burglars in the brush
factory. have made inquiries, and have
learned that the two men did not come
from the same part of the country. AS
far as l can learn, there was no
relationship between the prisoners before
their incarceration here. The fight occurred,
think, over some of their work. As
natural consequence, we had to put the as
sailant in solitary confinement He is now
out and again at work, because am salts
fed that he only intended to frighten the
other fellow. The victim was scratched a
little on the right side, and he is so slightly
injured that be will be able to 60 to work
tomorrow"
Mr.. Mexican refused to give the name of
either of the contestants, saying that he
would reveal the names only In case that
there might be fatality on either side,
when distant relatives might learn through
the newspapers of the death of some party
confined in the penitentiary.

THE PENN AVENUE DISTRICT,

A Carnegie Superintendent Say Many
Strikers will Not B. Taken Back.
Order prevailed in the vicinity of the
Thirty-third street mill yesterday. The
Relief Committee and other committees re-
mained during the day at Amalgamated
Association headquarters at Penn avenue
and Butler street, and had little to say in
regard to the situation, except that the
strikers are sure of success.
Superintendent Dillon. of the Carnegie
mills, was seen at his office. He said:
''The mill at Thirty-third street is running
full time and five de Dartments are running
double time. On Monday the entire mill
will begin to run the night shift At pres
ent the product of the mill is 10 or Is per
cent below what it was before the strike,
but the quality of the output is as good as
the mill ever made. Everything is going
smoothly, and we have had fewer accidents
than ever before under union management
in the same time. The strike is a thing of
the past"
"Will the old men be hired again?" was
asked.
''Well, some of them will About 10 per
cent of them will not get back. We will
teach these men that they have made sad
blunder."
The strikers claim that the mill is doing
but little and that the new men are leaving
daily.

FLEMING misunderstood.

The Chicago Representative of the Carnegie
Company Says One Thing and Is Quote!
as Saying another-Secretary Lovejoy
Explains Matters.
Secretary Lovejoy said last night he
thought John C. Fleming, the Chicago
agent of the Carnegie Company, had been
misunderstood in last Mondays interview
with Chicago Inter Ocean reporter. Dur
ing the course of this interview, part of
which was published in THE DISPATCH,
NIr. Fleming said the company would not
prosecute the men arrested for murder and
was of the opinion all of the cases would be
nolle pressed.
"Mr. Fleming is conservative" said Mr..
Lovejoy. ''and would not be inclined to say
ANYTHING that could not be substantiated. 1
have endeavored to learn what he did say
by wireIng him to-day but he was not in
his office 1 think, however, he meant the
cases against the officers of the company in
stead of those against the men who partici-
pated in the riots. That L think is what he
meant as it is the general belief in the
offices here. But as for our
dropping the cases we have
instituted, there is absolutely nothing in it.
Those matters had to be officially brought
before the District Attorney, and as the
county was a little dilatorv in bringing it
10 his attention we acted. But now that
Mr.. Burleigh has the matter in his hands
he will push it through. OF that 1 can
speak positively, as it is his official duty.
1t was the other matter, that of the cases
against the officers of the company that Mr..
Fleming alluded to, and not the cases
against the men charged with murder"
In speaking of-the utterances of Burgess
McLuckie at Boston Tuesday night Mr.
Lovejoy said the matter was of a too ridcu-
lously sensational character to call for
comment. Everyone who knows the stu
alton will laugh at his words. 1t is i'm
possible for men to be sawed in two by the
great saw in the armor plate mills unless
he voluntarily throws himself in its way,
and no sane person will do that, as every
one knows. As for the speak-easies in
Homestead being placed there at the sug-
gestion of the company it is really too
laughable to speak Of" and Mr.. LovejoY
smiled derisiyelv

A DINNER ON 'H0PPERa.

Queer Meal Prepared During Western
Plague Many Years Ago.
"a few old timers still remember the
grasshopper dinner given in this city a
number of years ago during the first great
grasshopper plague in Kansas" says a
writer in the st. Louis Globe Democrat
''The 'hoppers we're brought in from Kan
sas. the feast was prepared by well-known
caterer, and there were 'hoppers in every
style; there was hopper soup of two or
three kinds, the 'hoppers were boiled,
roasted and fried, were made into pates
and entrees, were served up in hash and
omelette, were dried, ground to pow
der and served as pemmican; in short, were
brought to the attention of the assembled
scientists in SO many different ways that
the learned professors, who gathered to
teach the people of the West how 'hoppers
might be made blessing in disguise, after
the first taste or two, placed their hands on
their afflicted stomachs, took glance down
the bill of fare, and unanimously adjourned
to neighboring restaurant to get some
thing that they could eat.
"Only one or two had the courage to eat
the bill of fare, and it is said they did not
feel well for several days As an object
lesson in education the hopper banquet
was failure; as an illustration of scientific
heroism it was a brilliant success on the
part of those who endured to the end. 1t
was never initiated and never repeated. and
the best comment on it was made by an old
farmer Of Kansas, who, when told by an
entomologist that grasshoppers could be
eaten, for John the Baptist had lived on
locusts and wild honey, replied: We'll,
John the Baptist might have done that, for
those were the days of miracles, and
reckon a man could eat almost anything
then, but if he lived nowadays he would
have to be fitted out with different kind
of a stomach to ENJOY these 'hoppers'"

WAS EASILY ARRANGED.

The Commission Merchants Promise to
Keep the Sidewalks Clear.
The trouble over the blockading of Lib
erty avenue by the commission merchants
has been settled. A committee, consisting
of Messers. McCracken, Baxter, Wilbert,
Wallace and Voight, called upon Mayor
Gourley yesterday to see if the matter
could not be satisfactorily arranged
Both sides seemed to be in compromis-
ing mood, SO that little time was spent in
reaching satisfactory conclusion. The
members of the committee agreed that they
had no right to take up the whole sidewalk,
and offered to accept a compromise. They
promised to keep six feet of the pavement
clear for pedestrians. This was agreed to
by both parties, and no more trouble is
now expected over the matter.

FINISHED THE SCALE.

B. & O. Operators Wouidn't Talk About tho
Wage hedule.
The telegraph operators of the Baltimore
and Ohio road completed their schedule of
wages yesterday afternoon and went home
last evening. They didn't know when it
would be presented to the railway officials,
as it would have to be revised by Chief
Operator Ramsey, and nobody knows where
he is at present. 1t will be some time be-
fore the scale reaches the Baltimore and
Ohio Company.
The committee declined to say much about
the scale. The minimum rate of wages was
fixed at $50 per month. This will be quite
an increase for some of the BOYS and very
small advance for others. The Baltimore and
Ohio won't be bankrupted if the company
pays the demands.

TIE VALLEY SCALES.

Ono Fruitloss Conference at Youngstown
Iron Men Say Steel Is on Top-Roue hers
and Finishers Kick ON Rollers-A Salts
factory Agreement Expected To-Day.
YoUNGsTowN. O., Aug. 17.-[Special. J.
The streets of this thriving manufacturing
city are thronged with people tonight all
filled with anxiety as to the outcome of the
meeting between the Conference Committee
OF the Amalgamated Association and the
Mahoning Valley iron manufacturers The
meeting was called at 2 o'clock in the after
noon and lasted until 6, when an adjourn
ment was taken until tomorrow at $50.
Nothing was accomplished, all the time
being consumed by the manufacturers point
ing out the Objectionable features of the
scale, which was read over. The manufac-
turers are pronounced in their fault finding
with the scale agreed upon at Pittsburg.
All claim that the reductions are only bene-
fetal to the manufacturers of steel, and not
to the producers of iron, the only thing
made in the Mahoning Valley. In this re-
spect they own that the steel men have de-
cidedly the best of it, and will insist that
concessions be made, by which the manu-
facturers of iron will be given similar ad-
vantage. There are also other objections
found, but the principal ones are above
cited
The Mahoning Valley Iron Manufacture
ers' Association held meeting just before
the conference, and decided what action to
follow. 1t is understood they will per-
sistently fight their claims Prominent
officials of the Amalgamated Association
say that scale will be agreed upon at to-
morrow's meeting.
There is large amount of dissatisfaction
still expressed on the street by the finish
ers. The rollers claim that the roughers
and catchers stand their share in the pro-
posed reduction while the rouehers and
catchers say the cut down should be shoul-
dered by the rollers alone.
The Conference Committee and the rollers
and roughers were in session three hours
tonight behind closed doors Both the.
dissatisfied rollers and roughers laid their
grievances before the committee, and a
spirited discussion took place. The COM
mittee Is totally unable to make any change
regarding the 10 per cent reduction, and, of
course, could not give the men any salts
faction. The meeting adjourned without
taking any action. An agreement between
the committee and manufacturers, it Is now
thought. will be arrived at tomorrow, and
following it every mill in the valley will
sign the scale, and in the event of this
taking place the inishers say they will start
to work notwithstanding the sensational re-
port of q rebellion among them.
