WILL HAVE TO PROVE HIS CHARGE,
Chicago Sensation Develops an Arrest for
Perjury.

Chicago, July 10. = Among those
charged with boodling by Henry Bran
denburg in his suit is Lucius Clark, who
is at the head Of the General Electric
company, in behalf Of which all the al
legged rascality was executed. The charge
against Clark Is generally stated in the
following extract from Brandenburg' 8
bill: CLARK entered into negotiations
with one John Powers. then a member
of the city council of Chicago, to secure
the passage of said proposed ordinance;
that thereafter and in the fall CT 1898
said Clark Informed your crater that he
had arranged with said Powers to secure
the passage of said ordinance for $500
900 for said Powers and certain of said
aldermen whose votes he c1Ttrulied. ard
suggested to your orator AT said sum
could be raised by sale Of stocks ard
bonds and that your crater fafused to
consider said proposition or in any man.
ner make of said ordinance what is
known as a Doodle measure"
The sequel of the filing of the bill IA
the arrset of Brandenburg for perjury
at Clark's complaint, and a threat to
have him arrested also for forgery.
Clark says that Brandenburg has been
guilty of both offenses. Alderman Pow
ers said: Il never in my life have seen
Brandenburg. Richard O'Grady came
to me when the matter was up and asked
me to meet him. But I never kept any
OF the engagement, and now I am told
that Brandenburg has been to OGrady
trying to get him to swear that he in
troduced me to him. AS to those other
charges, want to say that never met
Lucius Clark, nor Eberhardt, the Kali.

learned that everything was quiet and
idle on Miller's run. The Jumbo mine
was reported to be working. and 1t In

burg. McKeesport and Youghiogheny
railroad, and has not heretofore been
considered in the Pittsburg district
The best information puts the present
state of the strike in this district as
about complete, with the exception Of
the pits OF the New York and Cleveland
company. four or five small mines, and
several others in the fourth pool. 1t
seems that the officials are having more
trouble in getting the miners of the up
per river section out than in any other
portion Of the territory. 1t is, too, with
that OF the DeArmitt mine, the vital
point of the district. Strong efforts will
be made this week BY President Dolan

movement. By his efforts Thursday the

SITUATION AT THE FRONT.
Pittsburg District Seems to Have Reached
the Point of Paralysis.

the Point of Paralysis.
PittSburg, July 10.-The lines are
Tightening in all sections Of the Pitts
burg mining district with the exception
Of few spots. The diggers in the New
York and Cleveland Gas Coal company
are still working, but President Dolan
and Secretary Warner are preparing for
a move of a sensational order on thar
point. 1t was looked for yesterday, but
1t will be made some time today or Sun
day, the time not being agreed upon.
President Dolan was out at Wickhayen

The writer alleges that they are in

LITTLE DANGER IN LIGHTNING.
You Are as Likely to he Lynched as Strucl
by a Thunder Bolt.

Writing on "The Needless Fear of
Lightning" Edward w. Box, in the Sep
tember Ladies' Home Journal, SAYS that
it will doubtless surprise the timid to
know that only 200 deaths year occur
on an average throughout this entire
country from lightning, or one person in
every 100000 people. Now, in compar-
ison, fifteen times as many people are
killed each year by falling out of win
dows; over twice as many from being
bitten by rattesnakes, while % per cent.
more are killed with "unloaded" pistols.
More people are drowned around New
\ ork city alone every year than there
are deaths from lightning all over the
country. In fact, more people, by 81
per cent, are killed by being kicked by
horses in New \ ork city than die from
lightning throughout the whole of the
United States. The casualties of the
south show that the dangers of being
lynched and of being killed by lightning
are about the same. The trolley cars of
our cities kill a far greater number OF
people than do the lightning storms.
People living in cities are prone to be-
lieve that the increasing number of tele-
phone, telegraph and trolley wires in
crease the danger from electric storms.
On the contrary, the maze of wires is a
protection, and lessons the danger, since
it is shown that where the wires attract
the electricity they hold it, and discharge
it only at the end of the wires in the cen.
tral station. The fact is that of the two
hundred lightning accidents every year
only an average of forty occur in the
cities. The trees in the country are a
far greater danger; they account for the
proportion of four cases in the country
to one in the city.

Food, undigested, is poison. Digested
it Is life and strength. Millions of us
suffer from Indigestion, but we often
don't know it. We think it is some.
thing else. Even doctors often mistake
the symptoms.
Pale, thin people, who are overwork-
ed, who need strength, who seem in
want Of proper food, should take Shaker
Digestive cordial. 1t is astonishing what
food leilt do, when properly digested.
1t will make you strong, revive YOU
refresh you, sustain you, make you fat
restore your color, make muscle, brain
fibre, courage, endurance, energy; in.
crease your power to throw of disease
and keep you healthy and happy.
Indigestion does just the opposite, but
Indigestion can be cured and prevented
with Shaker Digestive Cordial.

All sweet sounds together;

Hearing ere its chimes be done,

Hoped in heaven hereafter:

Heard from mornings rosiest height,
Where the soul OF all delight
Fills a child'~ clear laughter.

Never forth such notes, nor told
Hours so Olithe in tones so oold

they don't carry our goods, but have
Others Just as good. Don't let them put

to palm of something cheaper and infer
