Newly Discovered Power Much Used
in Handling CRrgoes.
A few years ago the idea Of loading a
ship with $500 tons OF -four in "a hours
by means of two small motors would
have been looked upon is absurd. This
was done the other day in Tacoma, says
an exchange. Two thousand tons of
cargo have frequently been loaded or
unloaded in a day by steam power, but
the important factor in the record
breaking achievement at Tacoma was
that the couveyor was worked by cleo
tricity. With the apparatus which has
been designed for the purpose -four and
grain can be loaded at any stage OF the
tide and independently of the weather.

lCading ordinarily used IS men are re-
quired TO do the work of one electric
oonveyor. with which the bags are de-
1ivered into the ships hold at the rate
OF $500 to 2,7o0 pounds a minute or
70 tons an hour. When extra speed Is
desired two conveyors are employed.
This was done when the record of $500
tons In "a hours was made. The electric
conyeyor is 40 feet long. 1t is moved

two-horse power motor supplies the
power, the current being taken from
the nearest electric wires. The sacks

To CAPTURE A STATE.
Aims and Purposes Of the Oo-op-

TO INVADE WASHINGTON STATE.

Eugene V. Debs Declares the social
Democracy VIII Tax syndicates and
LandsharlSs Out of the Common
wealth and Establish the Utopia.
Chicago, June 22.-At meeting last
night Of the directors of the Social
Democracy Of America the following
officers were elected: e. V. Debs.
chairman; Sylvester Keliher, secretary;
James Hogan, vice president; william
70. Burns, general organizer. The di-
rectors who chose these officers were
themselves elected at the meeting in
the afternoon. They are: e. V. Debs,
sylvester Keliher, James Hogan. Will
lam r. Burns and Leroy Goodwin The
salary of the officers was placed at $1O0
per month.
At the meeting yesterday afternoon
Mr.. Debs explained at length the aims
and purposes of the cooperative COM
monwealth. A colony would be sent
to Washington, from which place, he
said, an official invitation had been
received. After establishing the col
ony he would secure control of the
politics of the state and start the CO.
operative commonwealth. THE first
thing we would do after getting con-
troll" he said would be to call a
special session of the legislature. Then
we would call a convention to revise
the constitution and get all the rot
out Of it. We win have control of the
taxing power, and can tax syndicates
and landsharlSs out of the state. Per-
sons shall be taxed according to their
means, and shall have according to
their needs.
I'VE viii have trusts, nothing but
trusts, in our state, but we will all be
in the trust The operatives will not
work u or IA hours a day, but four or
five. We win be in the field in 1900
with new party. These men who rep
resent the new life are going to unite
as If by magic for the overthrow OF
commercialism and the establishment
of the CO. operative commonwealth, by
which the brotherhood Of man will be-
come a fact. I do not know whether
this question win be solved peaceably
or otherwise. 1 hope peaceably. But
1 am one of those who believe in get
ting ready for any solution that may
be necessary"
Mr.. Debs said that in setting up the
cooperative commonwealth in Wash
ngton the colonists might be running
against the supreme court. He would
consult good lawyers and learn just
what the rights of the colonists were.
1--WE want to know our rights" he
said, land make them the rebels If
they send the military to Invade our
rights, then there will be an army of
100000 patriots on the state line to
meet them on that issue"

A NEW DISCOVERY BY the SHAKERS.

For more than a hundred years the Mount
Lebanon Shakers have studied the cultiva-
ton Of medicinal plants and sought to ex-
tract from them their healing essences
Their labor has not been spent in vain.
They have made discovery that will prove
a blessing to mankind. It consists of cor.
dial that causes immediate relief in cases OF
indigestion. The importance of this dis.
covery will be apparent when we realize that
nearly nine-tenths Of our suffering are
eau ed hy dyspepsia or Indigestion. Nearly
every person you meet has this digestive
trouble in some Of its varied forms sick
headache. distress after eating, pain and
fullness in the chest after eating, palpitation
of the heart, etc. are but symptoms Of in
digestion. To relieve these suiierngs has
been the study of the Shakers, and they
have succeeded The reason the Shaker
Digestive Cordial has such an immediate
aud salutary effect is that it causes the food
eaten to be digested, for it is uudigested food
/ that causes the distress. The Cordial causes
the food to be digested before there is time
for it to ferment and sour on the stomach
When the food is so digested it gives strength
and vigor to the feeble body. makes one fee
bright and cheerful, and makes one gain in
/ flesh
The Digestive Cordial is so prompt in its
action that the very first dose will have q
perceptibly favorable result. It gives i'm
mediate relief
Every druggist has been sent a supply o
our handsome Donkey Puzzle Books and
a copy may be had for the asking. 1t tells
all about the Cordial as well as Laxol, tn,
new castor oil.
Try twenty-five cent bottle of Digestiv,
/ Cordial and see what it will do for you.

struck Against sweeping Reductions.
Scranton, Pa, June 22.-The big
south works of the Lackawanna Iron
and Steel company was forced to close
down last night and about $500 men
are out of employment because of a
dispute over a reduction in wages.
When the mill resumed work three
weeks ago, after an idleness of a few
weeks, a notice was posted that there
would be an average wage reduction
Of about - per cent. among the ton
mage men. Saturday was pay day,
and when the hands received their en-
velopes they found that the cut had
been from 20 to so per cent. The de-
crease was so sweeping that many of
the 1900 non-time men affected by it
did not go to work yesterday, and the
mill had to close down for want Of
employees.
