NOTHING STRANGE.

Intelligent people, who realize the
important part the blood holds in keep
ing the body in a normal condition, find
nothing strange in the number of dis
eases that Hoods Sarsaparilla is able
to cure. So many troubles result from
impure blood that the best way to treat
them is through the blood, and it is
far better to use only harmless veget-
able compounds than to dose to excess
with quinine, calomel, and other drugs.
BY treating the blood with Hoods Sar-
saparilla scrofula, salt rheum and what
are commonly called "humors;' dys-
pepsia. catarrh, rheumatism, neuralgia,
consumption and other troubles that
originate in impurities of the blood or
impaired circulation, can all be cured.

MILK TO GO UP.

Now that the war between the retail
butchers and the wholesalers is on, thu
milkmen have come to the front and
threaten to advance the price Of milk.
The Milkmen's Protective Associa-
ton was called to meet at Kemple's
Hall on Twenty-fourth street, few
evenings ago, the summons saying that
business of Importance was to be trans
acted. The number present was insult
ficient to constitute a quorum, there
fore the meeting was adjourned to July
25th. when a resolution will be pre-
scented advancing the price of milk
from three cents per pint to four cents.
and from four cents per quart to six
cents per quart. The reason assigned
for the proposed advance is that hay
has raised in price from $50 to $2S per
ton, also other grains have advanced
materially in price.

A number of men were at work yester-
day morning improving the water supply OF
Wapakoneta, Ohio. but there was disagree
ment as to wages or hours and a strike
followed. The strikers at once announced
the waterworks until their demands had
been acceded to. Lewis Vansciver, how
ever, continued to toll and as he did not
desist In his endeavors to earn a living
for himself and his family crowd of strik-
ers attacked him with clubs and shovel
handles and other available weapons Van
solver stood this treatment as long as he
felt called upon to do so, and then, his life
being In danger, he drew and fired re

wounding two others. 1t might reasonably
be supposed that experience would have
taught the strikers that no matter how
just their cause they had no right to as
sault any one who declined to associate
himself with them in their effort to secure
what they believed to be a right. If strik-
ers have the best of the argument they
will. as rule, be successful, provided they
Illegal use of force. The throwing of a
brickbat, the firing of shot, the overturn-
ing Of a car, the burning of a house have
many times turned the tide Of public senti-
ment against strikers when, until the COM
initial of the overt act, everything was
going In their direction. The right to work
unmolested by violence is as unal.enable

Indications now are that the governor and

less be cheering news for both pugilists,
for while they have done little fighting in
times past it has somehow or other become
a deeply grounded, popular impression that
neither of them Is at all anxious to meet
the other within the ropes. The close at
tention paid by these sluggers to their
theatrical engagements tends to the crea-
tion Of an impression that while they may
be doing a great work in elevating the

vanish, and If this disappearance CHANGED
to be coincidental with the success of Mr..
Sovereign's boycott on national banknotes
there would then exist a condition so ex-
tremely embarrassing as to be cause for
grave concern. The only remedy that
could possibly be rggested-provided, of
course, that there were no paper substi-
tutes for the currency destroyed or un-
available-would be silver, and any school
boy may easily figure out for himself how
business would be affected by hfty-cent
dollars which had behind them in the
Treasury Department nothing more sub.
stantial than other fifty-cent dollars. To
some people greenbacks are evidently OBJ
