Is insidious, and men do not realize that
they are in its clutch. While consumption
is germ disease, the bacilli will not in
wade sound and healthy lungs. The lungs
must first be in a diseased condition.
First man feels little out of sorts.
Probably he is overworked and has given
too little time to eating, sleeping and rest
ing. His appetite falls off. His digestion
gets out of order and his blood does not
receive the proper amount of life-giving
nutriment. The liver becomes torpid and
the blood is filed with impurities. These
are pumped into every organ of the body,
building up unhealthy, half-dead tissues.
The most harm is done at the weakest spot,
and most frequently that spot is in the
lungs. A slight cold leads to indamma-
ton, the bacilli invade the lungs and we
have case of consumption.
Ninety eight per cent. of all cases of
consumption are cured by DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. It is the great
blood maker and fesh-builder. 1t restores
the lost appetite, makes the digestion per-
feet invigorates the liver, purifes the
blood, builds new and healthy flesh and
drives out all impurities and disease germs.
1t cures weak lungs, splitting of blood, obsti-
nate coughs and kindred ailments. No hon.
est druggist will recommend a substitute.
Mrs. Ursula Durham, of Sistersville, Tyler Co.,
W. Va, writes: :" had pain in my side all the
time, had but little appetite and grew very thin.
The Golden Medical Discovery promptly
cured the pain, restored my appetite and in
creased my weight"

Strikers Make Good Progress in the West
Virginia District.
WHEELING, w. Va, Aug. 31.-The
strikers camp near the Montana gained
not fewer than so recruits during the
day, all of them men who have been
working, but the operators were on the
lookout for desertions and had nearly as
many new men to go into the mines. In
the New river region few men were
brought out, but the district is working
practically full. Kanawha valley work
ing forces show some decrease, but the
agitators had that region pretty we'll
tied up before. At Clarksburg the op.
orators have been chatting because their
mines were tied up early, while Fairmont
carried off good part Of their trade.
Thus far no effort has been made to
start the Clarksburg mines, but it is
given out that unless the old men re.
turn to work before the end of the
week, the operators will begin import.
ing men next week. The Clarksburg
strikers are firm, and are not likely to
accept the offer. Mine and labor lead
ers generally take but little stock in
the St. Louis meeting, except it may
aid the miners in cash. They do not
believe an order for general strike
could be enforced, and, as for amalga'
mating all labor unions and starting q
political movement, not more than the
most preliminary steps can be taken.

GRAVE DANGER OF FAMINE.

Predicted" That the Food Supply on the

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 3l.-W. A.
Ryan, one of the special correspondents
Of the Associated Press, en- route to the
Yukon gold fields, writes from St. Mi.
chaels under date of Aug. Is to the eff.
feet that there is grave danger of a
famine on the Klondike this winter.
According to all reports received from
the upper country it will be impossible
to land sufficient food at Dawson City
to support the population already de.
pendant upon that place for supplies.
R. T. Lying, the California agent of the
Alaska Commercial company at St. Mi.

eral conference committee. While I
hardly think such committee, if ap.
pointed by the conference, will do any.
thing at this meeting, they will get to-
gethcr later. BY that time ours will
have crystallized and some platform
upon which a general amalgamation of
labor could stand would be formulated.
We must be united.'
1t is not expected that the convention
will do anything during the day beyond
perfecting organization and appointing
q committee on credentials.
Temporary Organization Effected.
Shortly after II the convention was
again called to order. w. B. Prescott,
president of the National Typographical
union Of Indianapolis, was chosen tenn.
porary chairman. Mr. Prescott then
appointed the following committee on
credentials: Mr.. Ratchford, James
O'Connor of the Machinists, Chicago;
Grant Luca of the Central Labor or
ganization, j. R. Sovereign and w. d.
Mahon.
Considerable controversy arose over
the naming of committee on resolu-
tions, which, although the convention
was not permanently organized, was
moved by one of the delegates. There
were amendments to the effect that the
convention adjourn till o'clock, and
that the hour be made o'clock, and in
the midst of this parliamentary tangle
Delegate Sovereign shouted:
"I'm sick and tired of resolutions.
This is the time for action. move,
Mr.. Chairman. that the motion to ap.
point q committee on resolutions be
amended to read con resolutions and ON

This brought out q food of amend

adjourned until 2 p. m, at which hour
the report of the committee OH creden.

PORT TOWNSEND, Wash, Aug. 81
The steamer City of Topeka, which
sailed at an early hour for Alaska, took
a party of 25 from Los Angeles, Cal,
who will leave the Topeka at Sitka, and
take passage on the steamer Doria for
Copper river, which they will fully
prospect. The party is headed by ]. D.
Brooks of Los Angeles, who went into
the Copper river country l8months ago.
Each of the 20 men has a full provision

Copper river country is richer than the
Klondyke. His party will be augmented
in September by 130 men, all from Los

AN EXAGGERATED REPORT.

Army Officers Have Not Made Surprising
Finds in the Black Hills.
RAPID CITY, S. D., Aug. 3l.-Many
Of the Eastern papers have recently
published dispatch from Washington
stating that gold had been discovered in
great quantities on the government
wood reserve at Fort Meade here in the
Black Hills; that the discoveries had
been made by officers and soldiers Of
the fort. The dispatch is greatly exag-
gerated. The facts are that the wood
reserve is only two miles wide by six
miles long, instead Of being l6 miles
square. The district has been repeat
edly prospected for years, and the best
assay yet made from ore found thereon
10 only Sl.6O to the ton.

ONLY HALF A MILLION.

Treasure Ship Portland Was Not Very
Heavily Laden With Gold.
SEATTLE, WASH, Aug. 3l.-The
steamer Portland arrived here at 8 a.
m. The vessel carried 1873 miners, each
of whom brought only small part of
his stake. The total amount of dust on
the vessel is perhaps s575,0oo. The
Portland was delayed by the failure Of
the P. B. Ware to arrive at St. Michaels
and by storm on the North Pacific
coasts. Among the miners on board,
with the total amount of their mining
profits, part of which were brought with
them, are the following: ]. Rowan,
$4,000; Jim Bell, $45, 100; Joe Gold.
smith, $50, 900; H. w. Powers, $50. 1000;
w. w. Caldwell, $35, 900; w. Oler, $780,

Best Claims All Taken. -~-r--'-
The common report among returning
miners is that there is nothing in the
country now worth having that has not
been staked off, and that the owners
will refuse fabulous prices for their
claims.
No new discoveries are reported from
the upper countries. The hillside abut-
ting on the richest claims on Bonanza
and Eldorado have been staked off and
several quartz claims have been fled
upon them in the same vicinity. The
rock taken out of the quartz claims is
rich. but the hillside claims are not
showing up much.
1t has been stated that the North
American Trading and Transportation
company brought s750,00O from their
various stores on the Yukon, but this
cannot be verified. It is generally un-
derstood that the company would not
bring out its money until the next trip
of the Portland, when she would be
conveyed by United States revenue
cutter.
Frank Novak on Board.
G. G. Perrine and F. A. Novak, two
of the passengers. are the most interest.
ing men Of the party. Perrine is de-
tective. In February last he was given
a photograph and told to find its orig.
inal. Accompanying the photograph
was an accurate description. Omaha
was the starting point of the trail and
he chased his man to Baltimore, thence
across the continent to Seattle and
thence to Juneau. Here he learned
that his quarry was bound for the
Klondike with party of nine by way
of Dyea and Chilcoot pass. Perrine
went to Ottawa, obtained extradition
papers and, returning followed Novak,
capturing him at Dawson City. The
crime for which Novak is wanted is
murder and arson committed at Wal
ford, la. Perrine spent $4,000 in the
pursuit of his man.

SMALL OPERATORS TO MEET

Plans Will BE Formulated tn Start Their
Mines at the 60-Cent Rate.
PITTsBURG, Aug. 3l.-A meeting Of
coal operators who do not ship to the
lakes has been arranged for, when
plans will be formulated to start their
mines at the 69-cent rate, if permission
can be secured from the miners off,
cials to allow their men to return to
work. Many operators who are in
sympathy with the movement are
afraid to join in the meeting
and prefer to await the result of the
heavy operators plan to break the
strike by importing men, The lake
shippers have little to say regarding
their plans except that they are going
ahead and will carry out their original
intentions. Those talked to admitted
that such a move was contemplated and
that the small operators might force the
others to concede miners demands.

The rights OF the States were as well,
or even better, un derstood and as ably de-
clared as they have been at any period
since and ii was because the convention
of North Carolina believed that too much

rejected it by vote OF ls4 to S4, the
vote having been taken on Friday, August
