PREPARING TO STRIKE.
Wells Fargo & Co., Express Employees OBJ
ieot to a Cut in Wages.

NEW YORK, May 4.-The Herald
this morning says: The iniatory
step has been taken by the employ
ees Of the Adams Express COM
pany for strike that may posi-
bly, affect the 10000 men employed
by that corporation. Light por-
tiers in the freight house Of the eX-
press company on Forty-ninth
street, adjoining the New York
Central freight yards, walked out
in body recently. The action Of
those men will be supported by
the company's employees in Wash
ington, d, c., when they will stop
work as the result OF a heavy cut
in wages and an increase OF work.
ing hours.
A committee representing clerks,
drivers, porters and stablemen
will at once call upon L. c. Weir,
president of the company, with a
list Of grievances. The committee
will insist upon some assurance
that their demands be attended to
within a reasonable time or else
a general strike will follow. The
trouble is attributed by the men to
the president who they say has
largely reduced the working force
and cut down wages, but failed to
curtail working hours. General
Manager Zimmerman and Assis-
tant General Manager Williams
called at the Forty.ninth street
house and tried to affect settle
ment Of the difficulty. A commit
tee of clerks had been appointed to
confer with the two officials. The
grievances of these men and their
fellow workmen have been formu-
lated already. Mr.. Weir, who had
been the company's western agent
at Cincinnati, was elected president
on September 20 1894, to succeed
Henry Sanford who resigned. Mr..
Weir had novel ideas in economy,
it is said.
There was a curtailing OF eXpen.
ses. Some men were discharged
and others had their wages
reduced.
An innovation was made last
week when the drivers, freight
handlers and helpers were COM
PEELED to furnish bonds for $500
each. The bonds were handed to
the employees to sign. Some Of the
men refused to comply with the
request.
The employees of the company
were compelled to sign an agree
ment several weeks ago, whereby
they released the express company
from Availability in case they were
injured while on duty. A deduc-
ton of the mems wages is made
now for every day they are absent
on account OF sickness or accident.

UP FOR sHoPLIFTING.
MRS. Lena zesemar has This Charge
Launched Against Her.


Mrs. Lena Zesemar, who lives at the
corner of Ounce and Congress streets.
was arrested this morning with heI
young daughter of possibly 10 years OF
"a charge of shoplifting. Tuesday
evening she entered the Leader store
on Main street, and slipped q neck
scarf and two pair of rubbers under
her wraps and was caught at it. FL.
Feiges, the man in charge of the store,
at once had the woman arrested and a
search warrant was sworn out before
Justice Slater.
Under this warrant the police went
to the house and found there two caps,
one pair of shoes, three pairs of trousers
and two cheap suits of clothes, the
whole valued at $12.75. When the
woman was brought before Justice
Slater Mr.. Feiges stated thatall these
goods had been missed since the early
part of December, and that during the
whole year past there has been a
systematic pilfering from this store to
the amount Of $500 worth of goods
He was unable to prove that this
woman had taken them, but believes
she had from the fact that she was a
frequent visitor at the store.
Mrs. Zesemar is believed to be con-
frmed shoplifter by the police from the
fact that there have been complaints
made against her before, but when
attempts were made to prosecute her
the merchants would not take the
trouble to do so. Chief Stemm stated
this morning that she had been de-
tected in, shoplifting at Lentz &
Funck's store once, when she was
forced to disgorge and was ordered to
never enter the store again. 1t is be-
lieved thataa great portion of the petty
pilfering of which our merchants have
complained for the past year and more
are traceable to her work.
When Mrs. Zesemar appeared in
court this morning she offered at once
to settle the matter and was fined So
and costs, amounting in all to $l7.76'
This amount was paid into court and
one of the complaints against her dis
missed. The matter of settling up fol
the damages to Mr.. Feiges is still to be
taken care Of.

THE FIVE reasons which representative
Henderson, of Iowa, gave for support
ing the bond bill that passed the house
are weighty. First, the bill does not
require bond issue; only authorizes it,
if necessary; second, the bonds if issued
would bear q lower rate of interest
than those issued by the administration
and those it is now arranging to issue
nnder the old law; third, it compels the
administration to give our own citizens
a chance to buy any bonds issued be-
fore offering them to foreign bankers;
fourth, it does not retire the green
backs, but empowers the secretary OF
she treasury to keep them out of the
the possession of spectators when
necessary; fifth, it prevents the ad-
niniStration selling bonds to meet de-
ticiencies in the revenues, as it has
done. This bond bill is long ways
from representing what republicans
believe ought to be done, but it does
represent what can become law, il
the senate will consent, and that is the
principal reason for its having been
put through the house. The admins
tration already has authority to issue
bonds and no secret is made Of its
intention to use that authority. II
those bonds could be issued under the
house bill many millions of dollars in
interest would be saved. That's the
long and short of it; it isn't a question
Of principle so much as of dollars and
cents.

WE have been somewhat surprised
in learning that considerable dissatis-
faction exists among the residents OF
the town of Salem, in reference to the
re-apportionment Of valuations in that
town as returned by the county board.
AS to the justice OF the apportionment
in. Salem compared with other towns,
we do not propose to discuss here, al
though By the Chairmen from other
fowgas the raise in Salem was con-
ssitlered comparatively small. But
there is one matter upon which we are
tssJ5g convinced. and that is that no
member of the present board was better
posted in valuations, or had o clearer
conception, gathered from extended re-
search, as to the relative values than
had Ward Bloss, representing the town
of Salem. We refer thus confidently to
tie fact because the writer was a
member of the committee with Mr..
BIoss, and George Curtis, of Bristol,
and no man could have been more ur-
gent in presenting the claims of his
town and at the same time recognizing
the rights of Others than was Mr..
Bloss. Always gentlemanly and fair
minded, firm in what he considered
right, we feel that gross injustice is
done him by portion of his constitu-
ency, if they feel as we have been in
formed, that their interests were
not ably represented, both in
committee and on the board. This
statement is made simply that justice
may be done q Conscientious, earnest
worker for his town, aud it is pleasure
as well as a duty to so far as possible
correct any false impressions which
may exist rejecting upon his honesty
of purpose or ability to enforce the

Is only another name for impure
blood, for no person is weak and ner-

When the blood is full of the germs
of disease, and lacking in the red cor
puscles which give it vitality, when it
fails to properly nourish the organs
and tissues of the body, what can You
expect but that tired feeling and ner-

OF course Scrofula, Salt Rheum,
Catarrh and Rheumatism are ami.
versally recognized as blood diseases,
for which Hoods Sarsaparilla, as the
best blood purifier, is everywhere
acknowled the greatest remedy.
Therefore, as Hoods Sarsaparilla
cures all blood diseases, it is the best
remedy for that condition of the blood
which causes Nervousness.
1t is false idea to think you are
curing your nervousness when you
are taking q preparation which only
