commissioners this Afternoon formulat-

from 10 to y per cent on the various
classes of merchandise, and per cent
on grain. The commissioners expect
that the roads will appeal to the courts
from the rates that have been fixed
and are ready to defend their position
and make a test case to establish the
validity of the law or its opposite, as
the case may be. The schedule of tar

San Francisco, and several of them
have declared that if the matter was

vastly different manner. The chance
Is small of the roads getting rid of the
round trip rate of $25, which has al
ready been made by the lines in the
western Passenger association, be-
cause some of the roads are tied up
with contracts which will hold them.
1t is expected that the rate will bring

MINE STRIKE AVERTED
BY Il Split Among the Employees of
the Tennessee Company.


% BIRMINGHAM, Ala, May 5.-The state min
ers convention held here today to decide on
the Tennessee Coal and Iron company's prop
osition for five cent reduction of wages
the sca-e in use by that company being the
basis for the state had a split and the split
has averted what looked until today like a
general strike. John Lloyd of Blocton was
chairman and F. w. Lennon, of Blue Creek,
secretary A vote on the wage proposition was
soon reached and resulted as follows
Against reduction, Blocton 49, Blue Creek 9,
Hargrove 2, Belle Alien 8; total 30. For a re-
duction of 21s cents in consideration of the
abolition of the sub-contract system: West
Pratt a, Pratt mines IS; total %.
When the vote was announced West Pratt
and Pratt mines withdrew from the conven-
ton, stating they felt compelled to obey in
structions from constituents and stand for
compromise. The boiling delegates then went
to the company's Office and there struck a
bargain with the company, which will be in
corporated in a contract to be signed next
Friday, operative for fourteen months The
terms. will be miners wages, 371a cents a.
ton when No. 1 foundry iron nets the COM
pany, f. o. b., cars at the furnace $3.50 a
ton or less, and for each so cents advance in
iron there shall be 21a cents advance in
miners wages. The majority stood out
against the reduction and went home this
afternoon of that mind still, but, they will
probably have to fall in line soon as the
Pratt mines and West Pratt will otherwise
run heavy outputs to their disadvantage.

patch relative to the meeting of the

ing that the Northern Pacific, Great
Northern and other transcontinental
roads had given only conditional prom
ises to become members of the new
association. Mr.. Fee said the situation
was not correctly reported in the dis
patch.
The item is hardly correct so far
as the Northern Pacific is concerned"
replied Mr.. Fee, land 1 do not believe
it is correct respecting the other lines
especially the Northern Pacific coast
lines. [ believe the, Canadian Pacific
has declined to join the new associa-
ton. 1t is hardly likely that the Amer
lean lines will tie themselves up with
any agreement that will prevent them
from meeting the competition of the
Canadian Pacific"
Then do you believe the refusal OF
the Canadian Pacific to join the asso-
citation means that that road is to en-

The Doctors Wanted Seven Hundred
Dollars to Attempt the Case.

The following is letter we received
a short time ago from Mrs. M. c. Hink-

Gentleman:-Whiles suffering intense
ly from piles, I became interested in
s your advertisement in one of&eur daily
%papers and procured a packa ges of tYaur
s4Pyramid Pile Cure fr6nlGg0uf druggist
Contrary to any eXpeeta tionS5} the re-
lief was instantaneous. I used two
boxes of the Pile Cure and one of the
Pills and am convinced that they are
the only sure cure for piles on the mar
ket l have been a sufferer from piles
for fifteen years and have been confined
to my bed about one-haf of the time
expecting and wishing for death for
the pain was so great. I went to thu.
college here and the doctors said my
case was new one to them; the great
pain having brought on large rup-
ture, which they wanted seven hundred
dollars to cut out L was very much
afraid that death would result from
the blood-poisoning which they said
would result from the operation. l
feel as though 1 can't praise the Pyra-
mid Pile Cure and the Pyramid Pills
too highly, as am convinced that they
saved my life. Before using your cure
1 weighed only ninety pounds and now
I weigh one hundred and fifty and feel
as well as I ever did in my life. You
are at liberty to use this testimonial
in any manner you may see fit, as !
want all sufferers from this terrible
disease to know that there has at last
been compounded a remedy that will
cure piles. Mrs. NJ. G. Huxley.
There is no need of the danger, PAIN
and expense of a surgical operation for
any form Of piles. The Pyramid Pile
Cure does the work without pain and
is the safest and best. Remember also
that the Pyramid Pills are certain cure
for constipation, acting without gripping
and restoring natural action to the
bowels.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is sold by
druggists at so cents and $100, and the
Pyramid Pills at 25 cents, or by mail
from Pyramid Co., Albion, Mich. -

mission has run against an interesting
legal question in connection with the
application. The law says that rail-
road company must erect a passenger
station. when application is made, IN
any village or borough the freight re-
ceipts of which amount to $4,000 or
over per annum. Grogan does not give
the railroad company this amount OF
business, but the laws are so framed
as to give the public to believe that
any village or borough" can have
depot for asking. The question is, Is
Grogan either a village or borough,
owing to it's diminutive size. The COM
mission will probably answer in the
affirmative in order to compel the rail-
read company to appeal to the courts,
thus making an effective test case OF
the law, and secure an Interpretation

ADA STILL DISSATISFIED.
New Train Service, the People Say,
Is Unsatisfactory.

Secretary Tiesberg, of the railroad
and warehouse commission, yesterday
received a letter from the Citizens
union at Ada, Mimi, regarding the
change in the time of running trains on
the Great Northern. The letter was in
answer to an inquiry from Second Vice
President w. H. Newman, asking if
the new time table was satisfactory.
The Citizens unions reply that the
time table is not satisfactory at all;
that the south-bound train schedule
could be tolerated, but that the citizens
will not submit, unless they are COM
PEELED to. to the north-bound schedule.
The reply states that in the matter Of
mail delivery, a letter posted in ST.
Paul on Monday afternoon would not
leave for Ada until the morning. of Tues
day, and would arrive too late for de-
livery. Consequently the letter could
not be secured in Ada until Wednesday
morning. Inasmuch as letter in the
same length of time could go to St.
Louis or Cincinnati, the people of Ada
feel that they are entitled to better
nail service.
