ID WORK COAL MINERS ACCEPT THE SIXTY. FIVE CENT RATE AND

THEY LOST HEAVILY.
The Fight Against the De Armits Will Be Continued-Working Miners Assessed for That
 Purpose.

PITTsBURG, Pa, Sep. 16.-After nearly three months idleness, be. tween l5, GOO and IS, 900 coal miners in the Pittsburg district returned to work yesterday in accordance
 with the action at Wednesdays con enti0n authorizing the men to re- sume in all the mines complying with the provisions of a scale of 65 cents, adopted at Columbus. The remainder of 23, 900 miners of the district will be at work before the close of the week It is estimated that tfe strike, which lasted sixty five working days, cost the people of Pittsburg district s, 900, GOO to s7 000, 900, of which amount the miners lost about $2,250, GOO in wages. The strike agalnst the De Armits will continue indefinitely. arrangements having been made to assess the working miners , per cent of their wages to defray the ex- penses of keeping up the fight until the 65-eent rate is made uniform throughout the district.
 A special 10 the Record from Hazelton says: Originating as it did in 8 petty disagreement between the Lehiah and Wilkessearre Com pany, mule drivers and employers, this strike has been oue of the most peculiar ever inaugurated in the re- zion.

 WILLIE ON AG-
 COUNT OF
 THE
YELLOW FEVER SCARE.

e'The prospective programme to have been given at Nashville iii cele- bration O Arkansas Day will be cut Eextremely short on account of the yellow fever epidemic, says the Ar kansas Democrat. Gov. Jones, |senator J. H. Berry and Hon. T. c. |McRae at noon today decided to abandon the contemplated trip, it having been intended that the party should leave Little Rock this even ling. This course was adopted after
 mature deliberation, and consulta- tion with some of the leading otfic- ials aud prominent citizens. Coy. Jones considers that it would be |inimical to the interest of the State
 to leave at th;s critical period.
 Should yellow fever break out in
 our midst during my absence, said Gov. Jones, T could but reproach &yself for not being here to render what assistance possible. True, the State has no funds with which to combat the epidemic, but should emergency require ] would draw Rpon my contingent fund for the necessary expenses. 1 do not desire Ahat this acton on my part should @larm the people of the State, but it 4s my belief that in view of present Circumstances t is imperative

Hon. Ja mes Hasley, who is mak- ing tour of the State in the interest Of the Arkansas Gazette's Confeder- ate monument fund, is in the city to- day soliciting subscriptions to that fund. 1t is the purpose of the Ga zette and Col. Hasley to secure enough money by private subscrip- tions to erect in the State House yard at Little Rock a large and handsome monument to the mem- ory of the Confederate dead in this State. This is Iaudable and com mendable effort on the part of the Gazette and Col. Hasley, and we trust that all of our citizens who can afford to do so, whether ex-Confed- crates or not, will subscribe llberally to the fund. The brave dead should not be neglected.

TO CURE DYSPEPSIA.
A New Remedy Which Will
 Do 1t.

Chronic dyspepsia is considered by many people to benearly if not quite incurable. No good reason can be given why they think so except that perhaps they have tried various rem edies without much, if any benefit. But the progress in every branch of medicine has been such that among other things a lasting cure for indi- gestion in it's chronic form as well as temporary has been discovered and is now placed before the public strictly on it's merits as n permanent cure for all stomach troubles or diffi- culties with the ligetive organs.
 This new treatment is called Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, being put up in tablet form so as to be easily taken and also to preserve it's good qualities for an indefinite length Of time.
 This remedy has produced sur prising effects ill the worst forms of indigestion. and in many eases where ordinary remedies failed to give even relief, Stuart's DI spepsia Tablets have fully cured.
 The splendid results from using his preparation are owing to the fact that it is prepared and intend cd for Dyspepsia and stomach troubles only. 1t is not q cure-all like so many advertised remedies. claiming to cure everything under the sun, but it is claimed it that is q certain cure for Dyspepsia and any one suffering from any form of indigestion cannot fail to get perma- nent relief and cure from it's use.
 1t is 80 prepared and the ingredi- ents are of such nature that when the tablets are taken into the stomach they digest the food no matter whether the stomach is in good working order or not. You get sustenance and strength to mind and body by reason of the food be- ing properly digested and at the same time the much abused stomach Is allowed to rest and recuperate
 Notwithstanding the great benefits to be derived from Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, the price is but 50c for full sized package and all druggists sell them.

 cyclone. Will says that every house III Inc new town was blown down or wrecked, and that during the tor nado the inhabitants had to leave their houses and flee to the prairies and lie down fiat on the ground to escape the mad winds. Will is very sanguine, however, and looks upon the cyclone as a blessing in disguise. as It will result in the erection of stronger and more substantial build. ings, and he predicts that in three years Port Arthur will be one of the greates { grain ports in this country.
