He had been given one other oppor-

guilty. and Peter Fisher was assigned
by Judge Fish as his counsel. Mr..
Fisher prevailed upon him to change
his plea and he did so, pleading guilty
when requested by the court to plead.
The Judge then sentenced him to If
teen years at hard labor at Waupun.
King broke down and criedlike child.
He had been almost entirely deserted
by all his family and friends and Mr.
Fisher was almost certain that fighting
the case would prove fruitless.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all it's stages, and
that is catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure now known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrh being
constitutional disease, requires a con-
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting direct
ly upon the blood and mucous surfaces
of the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in
doing it's work. The proprietCrs have
SO much faith in its curative powers,
that they offer One Hundred Dollars for
any case that it fails to cure. Send for
list of testimonials.

the mayor accepted insurance premium

insurance policies on most of the city's
buildings. When he was indicted into
office he continued to hold his policies,

charter The question has been
brought UP heretofore on different oc

MORE POLISHERs STRIKE.
The sieg Sc Walpole Polishers Refuse to
Work With Non Union Men

WorK WIN NOn-Un1On Men.
All the polishers at the Sieg & Wal
pole factory went on strike Wednesday
noon The cause of the strike was the
fact that the company had employed a
non union polisher. and the other pol
ishers being union men, refused to
work with him. The polishers made q
demand on the company to remove
the Objectionable man, which it at once
refused. This morning another COM
mittee waited upon the company, and
made another demand of the same
character which was again refused.
Superintendent Week, of the factory,
states that this move was one that the
company had had under contempla-
ton for some time, and the matter out
of which it grew is said by him to come
from the fact that the polishers were
not getting out the requisite amount of
work, owing to the dictation of the
union. For instance, when man
could get out say sixty pieces at 6
cents apiece, the union would place the
stint of each mans work at say forty
each day, and no man was allowed to
do more than that. The men were
then obliged to show their envelopes to
each other every pay day, to show that
that limit had not been exceeded. AS
a consequence of this the company has
been compelled to send much Of its
polishing elsewhere to be done. No
cut in prices was contemplated and
none was made, but the company de-
sired to get men who would not be
bound to any stint for days work
One Of the strikers in speaking of the
matter says that the company was get
ting much of its polishing done else
where, and got it cheaper that way,
and in order to equaliZ0 had actually
cut the price with some Of the men l
cent to II cents. This does not seem
to be true, though Mr.. Week admits
that the company can get It's polishing
done more cheaply by sending it away.
On the contrary, he claims he tried not
long ago to get a contract with the
polishers by which the rate should not
be cut. and the men refused it,
Claim Threats Were Made.
One Of the non-union men at work at
the factory made representation to the
company that the pOlishers had threat
ened him with violence if he continued
to work there. The company at OnE@
took steps to protect the men, though
the polishers deny that any threats
have been so made. The threat which
reached the superintendent's ear was
that all the non union men, the fore
man and the superintendent would be
"done up" Mr., Week laid the mat
ter before Mayor Farr and Chief of Pc
lice Stemm this morning and was assure
ed that all violence would be prevented
if possible.
1t is reported that the strikers are
keeping a close watch on incoming
trains and all polIshers are warned by
them to keep away from the shop. The
police, however, claim not to have seen
anything of that kind.
The strike is. not a sympathetic one
as some rumors ON the street have it.
Although the Sterling polishers are out,
the action of the Sieg & Walpoie pol
ishers was not influenced by their ac
ton
