COLUMBIA UNIONS PETITION.
Seeking to Amend the Civil Service
Rules Relating to Printers.

Il
A meeting of Columbia Typographical
Union, No 101, will be held tomorrow
afternoon, to consider a resolution petit
tioning the President to recommend the
amending of the civil service rules so as
to permit the Public Printer TO reinstate
or eappoint to subordinate positions which
may become vacant, persons formerly efn-
ployed in the Government Printing Office.
The resolution would, in effect, do away
with the civil service, so far as IT pertains
TO the Government Printing Office, for il
would give those who were dismissed the
service or reduced in salary without cause
and also other applicants, right to eligi-
bility for appointment without examina-
tions.
In it's position on the question of civil
service it is said Columbia Union stands
alone among the other unions Of the coun
try Being right here at Il e National Cap
ital and " ith a large proportion of its mem
bers employees in the Government Printing
office, and having the protection of the
civil service rules, it is but natural that it
should favor the continuance of such PRO
lection.
However this may be, the international
TvGographicaI Union, which met at Colo-
lado Springs last fall, in a most emphatic
way proclaimed against the civil service
as applied to the Government Printin g OF
flee.
What the result of the meeting tomorrow
will be matter of considerable doubt. 1t
is acknowledged that majority of the
members of Columbia Union are employed
at the Government Printing Office, but it
is also claimed that these are far from be-
ing unanimous in favoring the civil service
as now operated In addition to these
The employees in the other printing establish
ments in the city are said to be practically
unanimously opposed to the civil service
system.

When ill-health precedes maternity, death
rocks the cradle. If a woman suffers from
neglected disease or weakness of the dis
tinctly feminine organism during the perIoo
preceding motherhood, she not only risks
her own life. but that of the unborn babe
Thousands of women suffer in this way be-
cause their natural modesty will not permit
them to undergo the huniliating examina-
tions and local treatment upon which nearly
all physicians insist.
This is entirely unnecessary. An eminent
and skillful specialist, DR.. R. V. Pierce, for
thirty years chief consulting physician to
the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute,
at Buffalo, N Y, is the discoverer of a
wonderful medicine for all troubles of this
nature without recourse to obnoxious local
treatment. The medicine is known as DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription. 1t acts di-
rectly and only on the delicate and import
ant organs that make wifehood and mother
hood possible. 1t makes them strong,
elastic and healthy. 1t fits woman for
motherhood and makes baby's advent easy
and almost painless. An honest druggist
will not try to substitute an inferior remedy
for the sake of extra profit.
Mrs. William Vincent of Sidnaw, Houghton
Co. Mich, Brighland's Camp BOX b, writes !:
when / first began TO take your Favorite Pre-
scription' was suffering with uterine trouble
and heart trouble At times could hardly en-
dure the pain in both sides, quite low down, and
such pain between my shoulders I could not
sleep at night. Was just as tired in the morning
Is at night At times there were very sharp
pains around my heart. took ten bottles of the
Favorite Prescription and am entirely cured.

except by putting on board weighty things
of one kind or another, it is evident that
only an enormous vessel can have high all
round qualities For this reason there are
various types Of warships. each type being
intended for a somewhat different service.
Each type receives in sufficient degree the
qualities necessary for its particular ser
vice and partially at the expense of other
qualities deemed non-essential. Thus all
designs are compromises, but some designs
are better balanced than others, according
to the skill OF the designer. The leading
types arc battle ships, harhor defense ships,
armored cruisers, protected cruisers, tor
pedo cruisers. torpedo chasers and Torpedo
boats. The largest and most powerful are
the battle ships

Arbor Day Observed.

Last Friday was Arbor day, and
was quite generally observed by
Morris people; in fact, more so than
any other year. In the forenoon the
ladies of the different unions repaired
to the cemetery, where they each
planted tree in honor of the day.
Several of our citizens took advantage
of the occasion and adorned their
lots with young shade trees.
Appropriate exercises were held at
the schools, where music, Rotations
and essays were rendered, and in the
afternoon the young folks lent hand
in identifying the yards. Quite a
number of visitors were in attendance.
The High school also held very
appropriate exercises, and INDUCED

highly interesting and entertaining:

HEARTREhDING SCENE.
Mrs. L. II. Pushor, OF Pepperton,
Fatally Burned.

/
One ofthe most pitiable and heart
rending scenes on record occurred
yesterday forenoon on the farm of L,
HI. Pushor, about seven miles west
of town, in which Mrs. l.. III. Pushor
was fatally burned and Mr. ushor so
badly burned about the hands so as
| to disable one and partially disable
the other. Mrs. Pushor started out
in the morning feeling we'll and
healthy to do a little cleaning up
around the yard, raking the dead
grass and rubbish together in pile
and burning it, In some unaccount-
able manner her dress caught fire,
and in an instant she was all ablaze.
Her agonizing screams brought her
husband to her aid, who happened to
be liking the fence short distance
away. They both put forth their
main efforts to subdue the flames,
but did not succeed until after they
had done their deadly work.
Medical assistance was Immediately
summoned and everything done to
ease the terrible pains of the poor
woman, who was kept under the in
fuence of drugs, with but the very
slightest hopes of recovery. Mrs.
Pushor was so badly burned that the
skin and flesh pealed off in great
Jumps from her chest. Although it
is pretty certain that she did not in
hale the flames, yet the burns are SO
bad that it was impossible for the
strongest constitution to overcome,
the shock, aud she quietly passed
into the yelled beyond, where pain
and sorrow are no more, at 10 o'clock
last evening.
Mr.. and Mrs. Pushor came to this
county about eighteen years ago, and
are old and highly respected citizens.
The deceased was forty-eight years
of age, and has always lived a devoted
wife and mother She is survived by
her husband and FIVE children, three
daughters and two sons, besides
several other relatives in this COM
munity, all of whom have the sym
patty Of the entire community in
their dire distress. The funeral will
take place tomorrow at 10 o'clock.

Woodmen Banquet

Last Saturday evening was a me-
mortal evening to large number Of
our citizens, and especially to the
order Of the Modern Woodmen of
America. The lodge of our neigh
boring village of Chokio, numbering
twenty-four brave and brawny Wood
men, drove over and attended the
Morris lodge. The usual courtesies
we're extended to the visiting brethren
by turning the lodge, and especially
the goat over to them and allowing
them to initiate r. G, Dewey, who was
candidate for admittance. After
thoroughly introducing the candi-
date to all the mysteries of the order
they adjourned to the Morris Hotel,
where an elaborate and palatable
spread was in waiting. Here all par
ties done justice to their appetites,
both in brain and body, as after the
body was satisfied the mind was set
at ease by the deliverance of short
toasts, at which almost all partici-
pated. The evenings event then
closed after one continual round of
pleasure, in which all parties present
joined in words of praise. The music
was furnished by Kaferilli'sorches
