How TO Gain Happiness,

To all those who suffer from either
Functional or Organic diseases-w whose
lives have been made miserable from the
ravages of disease, there is still hone. Not
that elusive hope offered by so many and
never fulfilled, but something tangible,
something that is self-evident. DR., Ott-
man has made the objects of careful study
the many diseases to which the human
system is heir to. After years of painstak-
ing endeavor he has arrived at definite
conclusion that almost absolutely guaran-
tees cure. No matter how mu3h q
patients system has been undermined,
he builds up and oures alike. To any in
valid who values life, health and happi-
ness, we would advise them to consult
with this eminent physician. A consulta-
tion costs nothing, and may be the means
of bringing you health and happiness,
DIR. Otsman, formerly Of New York, now
OF Columbus, Ohio, by special request OF
friends and patients, has decided to visit

Made by Canton Steel Workers, Who

the Canton Steel Company has been filed
by Fred Moock, Harry Maxheimer, John
Lindeman, Charles Allerding, John
Stosffken, Harry Benet, John Gusky,
Arthur Baker, Harry jacques and Samuel
Slomsky. They allege that allegations in

MAY ADJOURN THURSDAY.
Senators Trying to Make II the Las,
Week.


Week.
WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE senate be-
gan the week with the intention of
making it the last of the session If pos.
sible. Some senators put the day of
adjournment as early as Thursday of
the present week, while others place it
on Saturday, and still others think it
will be impossible to conclude before
the first days of next week.
The imperative work before the SEN
ate in order to reach adjournment is to
dispose of the conference report on the
ordinary appropriation bills, to vote
upon the bond prohibitory bill and to
consider the proposition to pass the
river and harbor bill over the presi-
dents veto, in case the bill receives the
necessary two.thirds vote in the house
to bring 1T to the senate. Some senators,
probably a mojority, also feel that they
are under obligations to press the filled
cheese bill to final issue, but there is
sufficiently strong minority opposed to
this measure to prevent congress re.
naming in session for the sole purpose
of passing, after the appropriation bills
are out of the wav.

MORGAN HAS LOST HOPE.
He Now Expects No Action Favorable tc
the Cubans.


WASHINGTON, June 1.-Senator Nor.
gan of the senate committee on foreign
relations and author of the joint reso-
luton recognizing the recognition of a
state of war in Cuba and declaring the
neutrality of the United States, when
asked concerning the probability of Sc
curing action upon the resolution be-
fore adjournment said
"Unless the house should act upon
Mr.. Hyde's resolution, which is identi-
cal with the resolution offered by me in
the senate, that is now held up in the
committee on foreign relations, con.
gress will probably disperse before any
further action is possible. That re.
spOnsibility will doubtless hasten the
dispersion Of some senator's The dis.
position of the majority of the'senate
committee is to devolve upon the presi-
dent responsibility that he is evidently
eager to assume. Congress has practi-
cally ceased to be a factor in the gov.
ernment, except in the case of veto,
when the constitution permits it to act
finally by two.thirds vote. Even this
function is denied when it is applied to
our foreign political relations"

POLE RAISING.
4 BIG DAY Ar HENDERSON
The Meeting Addressed by Hon.
Rankin Wiley and Col.
u. w. st. Clair.

Saturday the Henderson silver
club raised magnificent pole, at
the top of which is attached a
proud, artificial, growing rooster.
A streamer, with the inscription 16
to 1, and large flag 24x6O float
from the pole. The pole was rails
ed near the noon hour, just before
the speaking, mid the greatest
enthusiasm.
About ten O'Clock the people be-
gan arriving at Henderson and con
tinued long after the meeting had
commenced, and conservative
estimate placed the crowd, who
were seeking the truth, in
the neighborhood of 1,5O0. Itwaa
beyond doubt the largest gathering
that has assembled yet at any po-
itical meeting in this county, OF
either party.
AT L p. NJ. the meeting was called
together in Hutchinson's orchard,
where seats had been prepared and
stand, profusely decorated with
flags and bunting, had been erected.
Hon. Rankin Wiley was made
Chairman of the meeting, and in
a splendid address upon the issues
of the day, introduced Col. St
Clair, who spoke for two hours and
half in an eloquent and forcible
manner, and during his remarks
fully exploded the 50-cent silver
dollar business, and showed con-
olusively that single gold stand
ard would in few years crush the
poor people of this country, and
also their free institutions, and
soon monarchy would be erected
upon the ruins of our glorious and
happy republic, if the gold-bug idea
prevails. He made strong APP
peal to the patriotism of the PEG
pie. His speech was earnest and
carried conviction with it, and
much good to the silver cause vii!
result from this speech,
When the Colonel had conclud-
ed the vast throng of people crowd
ed to the stand to shake his hand,
and for over half an hour he stood
there returning the hearty hand
shake to the people crowded
around him. 1t was an ovation tc
the distinguished gentleman that
he will always recollect and should
be proud of.
