According to New York advices the navy
department is having difficulty, in our

by congress to transport the corn
to India. There are not many steam
vessels which clear for that port from
this country and sailing ships take too
long time to reach that distant shore.
The government has none at it's own

want $40 per ton to carry the corn. The
navy department will ask congress for
larger powers under the circumstances

lows: The committee on fire department
beg leave to report that they have in pur'
suance Of vote of the council invest j.
gated as far as possible the difficulty be-
tween the chief engineer and Hose Co.

by the chief engineer without authority,
and that they were returned by him to

sage of the order in council directing
their return. Second, the chief engineer

counted several instances when Presump-
SCOT Hose company had been insurbordi-
nate. After q thorough and full investi-
cation the committee have to report that

Third, the Presumpscot Hose company
stated that they had been the subjects re-
peatedly of unnecessarily severe and sar-
castle treatment by the chief engineer;
that they had always endeavored to obey
is orders, even when they considered
them unreasonable. Evidence was pro-
duced which satisfied the committee that
the chief engineer while commit ing no
fragrant act Of tyranny, has not always
acted in manner tending to the preser-
walton OF good feeling and unanimity be-
tween the officers and members of the de-
partment.
Alderman Craigie called the attention
of the council to the arbitrary way in
which the chief has been using the assist
ant engineers and presented an order ask
ing that the mayor be, and is hereby re-
quested to direct that no part of the fire
apparatus be removed from the hose
houses except for immediate use at fires,
and that no important changes be made
in the department without the knowledge
and consent Of a majority of the board Of
engineers, and that the mayor be re-
quested to caution the chief engineer
about the issuance of orders calculated to
be provocative of i'll feelings and resen t.
ment.
An order was presented appropriating
$500 for the highways and sidewalks DOM
mittee. This order had its first reading.

THE LATEST SCIENTIFIC KNGWL-
EDGE ON FOOD And DIGESTION.

The real cause of most OF our diseases is SIM
ply an inability to digest food This induces
thinness. weakness, loss of flesh and fat loss of
vitality, wasting away.
Loss of flesh and vitality means constant liza.
bility to sickness. Wasting away is consump.
ton.
If getting thin is what ails you there is only
one thing to do-get fat. The only way to do is
to take something which will help your stomach
and stimulate it to do its work.
If you are tired out you do not like to move
your legs or arms. If your stomach is tired it
does not like to digest; it cannot do its work.
To eat, or even to eat with relish does not
necessarily mean that one is being nourished,
Strength, vitality and flesh are the true indica-
tons.
Getting thin is sign that you need the
Shaker Digestive Cordial. You would not be
getting thin if you could digest your food
The Shaker Digestive Cordial not only con-
tans artiicially digested food, but it will digest
other foods in the stomach.
A single 10 cent bottle will show whether or
not it is going to meet the conditions of vour
case. and if so, its continued use may be de-
pended on to effect a cure. All druggists keen

SOVEREIGN STORY DENIED.

Louisville, KY, November 15-The
| morning session of the general assembly
Of the Knights of Labor was devoted to O
discussion Of the report of the committee
on emigration. 1t was the prevailing
sentiment that some vigorous steps should
be taken to restrict immigration. and
statistics were presented showing that
nearly ten million foreign laborers had
come 10 this country during the last
twenty three years, all of which it was
claimed, worked a hardship on the
American working man.
The report that Past General + Master
Sovereign has stepped down and out be-
cause he desired to fix his fences for the
presidency Of the United States on a labor
reform ticket in 1910 WAS vigorously de-
MED On all sides.
AT the afternoon session it was voted
unanimously to set apart the last Sunday
in June as Labor Memorial day This
day will bepbserved by all the district
assemblies in the United States. 1t was
expressly stated that the day should not
be regarded in the light Of holiday. The
report of the committee on finance was re-
ceived. The hooks of the order were
found in first class shape.

ORGANIC CHANGES
The wholesome process of secretion
by the use of Carlsbad Water.

Prof. Hlawazek, an authority
on stomachic diseasessays what
we have positively ascertained is
that Carlsbad Water in a high
degree promotes organic changes
in the system; that principally by
its alkaline constituents, it acts as
an absorbent of fat and as an
antacid throughout the organism,
and that it performs this whole
some action by stimulating, aug
menting and chemically altering
the whole process of secretion"
Beware of limitations. The gen
uine Carlsbad Water and Carlsbad
Sprudel Salt must have the seal
of the City of Carlsbad and the
signature of Eisner & Mendelson

CONSPIRACY IN BRAZIL.

Washington, November 15.-No official
information has been received confirma-
tory of the report from Rio Janeiro to the
effect that President Moraes has issued
a decree declaring martial law for a peri
cd of 30 days. Nevertheless the report is
credited In diplomatic circles. If there
were evidence of the existence of politi-
cal conspiracy in connection with the re-
cenr attempt on the life of the President
of the Brazilian Republic, a suspension
of civil rights would be necessary to ac-
complish the arrest of any members of
the House of Deputies or the Senate who
might be implicated in the conspiracy.
The constitution OF Brazil gives the
members of Congress immunity from ar
rest during the sessions except BY the di-
rection of the branch of the legislature
of which they may be members.

CONTRACT LABoRERs ARRESTED

Washington, November Is -Commis-
sioner General Powderly of the ilnmigra-
ton bureau today received telegram
from Special Inspector Baldwin at
Memphis, Tenn, that he had arrested
twenty eight alien stave cutters Illegally
brought into this. country under contract
and would go to Mississippi tonight to
arrest the remaining twenty-five. 1t is
stated at the immigration bureau that
fifty Austrian immigrants arrived at
Baltimore on the North German steamer
Rolando on September 9, last and were
taken to Mississippi to work in the stave
camps. When the party arrived in Balti-
more they were suspected of being under
contract, but the evidence submitted was
deemed insufficient to warrant their de-
tention. subsequently however. Com
missioner General Poverty sent special
agents into the camps who secured
sufficient testimony to Justify their arrest,
and warrant for the whole party was
signed by Secretary Gage and placed in
the hands of Inpeotor Baldwin last FRI
day. AS soon as all are secured they will
be deported at the expense of the steam
ship company bringing them over. Up to
this time the evidence against the con-
tracing firm who brought the Austrians
to this country Is not deemed sufficient to
justify criminal proceedings, but the
officials are said to be still at work on
this feature of the case.

Is Thought to Have Fallen Over Kitchen
Stove While Carrying Papers to Her
Room-son Was Absent from Home at
the Time.
Mrs. Hannah P. Jones, an old lady ~
years Of age, was burned to death at her
home in Ligonia early last evening. Mrs.
Jones has been blind for about thirty
years. She kept house with her son Owen
Jones, man about forty years old in a
little story and half house on the banks
of Fore river near the Boston and Maine
railroad tracks. Last evening Mr.. Jones
left the house to go on an errand. When
he returned little later he noticed that
the lamp which was burning when he left
had been extinguished. He entered the
house and found the kitchen filled with
smoke and the table and other parts of
the wood work in flames. Close by the
table lay the body of his mother with
every stitch of clothing burned from her
and the body charred to crisp. A
brief examination satisfied him that life
was extinct. DR.. Marshall was called and
Undertaken Rich was sent for. The doctor
of course could do nothing and the under
taker cared for the remains. The body
was terrible sight, the flesh being
cracked open in many places. 1t is sup
posed that Mrs. Jones started for her
room, which opens off from the kitchen.
with bundle of papers in her arms and
that being blind she stumbled and fell
over the stove where coal fire was burn

the stove and the flames were in this way

the stove was located and near the table

TO HASTEN DURANT'S EXEC
TION.
EXECU

Washington, November 15.-On motion
of Assistant Attorney General Anderson,
the Supreme court today decided to issue
Immediately it's mandate in the Durant
murder case.
No representative of Durant was in
court when the motion was made, and
the court, after hurried consultation on
the bench, announced through Chief
Justice Fuller that the mandate should
issue forthwith.
Mr.. Anderson thinks this Will settle
the matter and hasten Durant's execu-
ton. He said he would have made the
motion sooner but for the necessity OF
giving notice to Durant's counsel.
