The differences relating to the Metro
politan Street Railway Company were then
debated at length, the reports from all of
the organizations being to the effect that
the action of the central labor bodies In

been indorsed. The delegates were ad-
vised to use every honorable effort in push
ing the fight for recognition of organized
labor to success
The Horseshoers' delegates stated that
they had not only Endorsed the action of
the Federation of Labor, but had placed
a penalty on any member who patronized
the Metropolitan road while the present
difficulty was pending.

erroneous proceedings Of the Federation

directed to request the publishers of the
newspapers In question MOTTO publish any re-
ports, except those given out by the press
committee to accredited reporters.

DYSPEPSIA.
A Life Of Agony, a Death Of Pain, is the
Experience Of its Victims.

This dreaded disease is caused by imperfect
action of the stomach, and impurities of the
blood. Gastric ulcers appear at certain stage,
they slowly eat into the Yitals of the victim,
poisoning his blood and preventing the absorp-
ton of proper nourishment from the food.
The patient at last dies from starvation, unless
a knawing ulcer penetrates an artery, and
death from hemorrhage is the result. Do not
continue to suffer. You can be cured.
Kickapoo Indian Sagwa brings relief in every
instance. 1t tones up and rectifes all derange-
ments of the stomach, liver and kidneys; above
all it purfes the blood, restoring to it its power
to convey nourishment to all parts of the body.
and enables it to dispel all poisons from the
system. Note this one of many cases where
health has attended its use.
"I have been great sufferer from chronic
dyspepsia for thirteen years, and finally be-
any business. / am very thankful that met
the Kickapoo Indian Medicine Co., as they
have by their Kickapoo Indian Sagwa made
new man of me. My health is again fully
restored, and / can work with entire satisfac-
ton, and deem it duty to make this known,
so that those suffering as l have may use the
Kickapoo Indian Sagwa and be benefited.

QUAY IS ENDORSED.
Pennsylvania Republicans Hold
their Convention.


their Convention.
Harrisburg, Pa, April 25.-The Re-
publicans of Pennsylvania have de-
clared for Senator Quay for president.
and the delegates were instructed to
vote for him. The meeting of the res
olutions committee was not altogether
harmonious When the plank endOrS-
ing Quay for the presidential nominal
ton was read, G. L. Magee, the Pitts
burg leader, declared that he was for
Mckinley, and said it was due to his
candidate that he should oppose the
endorsement of Quay. On the roll
call of 80 voters, were against Quay
-MeSsrS. Magee, Hall and Golden of
Allegheny, and BrOwnlee of Lycoming.
There was much debate on the propo-
sition that candidates for United
States senator to succeed Cameron be
permitted to submit their names to the
voters at the primaries in the various
legislative districts. The resolution
was defeated. A resolution instruct
ing the delegates to support Mckinley
in the event of the retirement of Mr..
Quay was defeated, there being only
two or three ayes The resolutions
favor protection and reciprocity. The
financial plank is as follows:
THE Republican party has always
maintained the national honor and
credit. 1t forced the resumption of
specie payment. II kept faith as to
every debt created Tor the preserva-
ton of the Union, and has paid the
greater part of it, in accordance with
the spirit and the letter of the laws
under which it had been contracted.
1t largely reduced the interest charges
upon the balance of the debt by re-
funding at lower rates. 1t substituted
for the fluctuating and inadequately
secured notes of the state bank a uni
form national currency of stable value
and of equal purchasing and debt-pay
ing power. Faithful to it's record be-
lieying that the people are entitled to
the use of the best money and anxious
to restore and preserve the Industrial
and commercial prosperity of the
Union. the Republican party favors in
ternational bimetallism, and until that
can be established it demands the
maintenance of the existing gold
standard of value"
A resolution was offered to instruct
the delegates to vote for Mckinley for
second choice. This started a lively
row, and there were cheers for Quay
and counter-cheerS for Mckinley.
After a scene of disorder lasting some
time the resolution was defeated-17S
to 65.
