well and promises a fine yited. Rains
are falling in showers nearly all over the
state. and crops ofevery kind are omprov-

sections where theyrare' still suffering for

corn. There being reduetion of acreage

made in the state to meet the dsmands,
when we take into consideration the vast
amount shipped into the sstatesthis year.
This being the condition of the corn crop

ways, viz. Make your land rich and n

iMEEr1NG CALLED.
Arbitrator Succeed in Bringing the Mine
- ..OWners-.To


-----a Owners Together.
Pittsburg, July 24.-The situation of the
strike has not improved materially in this
district today. The efforts of the ar
filtration committee have been so far
succeS sful that a meeting of the operators
has been called for Tuesday next. II is
signed by W. Dearnaitt, for the New York
and Cleveland GassCoal company; w. H.
Seaborg, for the Pennsylvania company;
Z. E. Young, forsthe Hanna company,
and other leading operators of the dis
trict. These names to the notice of a
meeting is sufficient guarantee for the
success of the gathering in point of at
tendance. w. PssRend will also be asked
to sanction the signing of his name to
the call. He is now in Chicago.
The Cannonsburg region has produced
no sensational features today. The
striking miners are. still encamped near
the Allison and Boone mines to persuade
workers from going to work.
There are vague rumors of march on
the mines of the New York and Clevelard
Gas Coal company. There is no doubt
among those who are in a position to
know that such move is contemplated,
but just at what time is kept a profound
secret. While all of this is going on. the
Turtle Greek, Sandy Creek and Plum
Creek mines are working steadily and
without interference. The employees claim
to pay no attention. to the strikers and
want to be left alone. On the other hand
the miners officials claim that their or
ganizers, who have been at work in Sc
oret have laid the four datfon for a gem
eral laying down.of tools when the proper
time arrives. Much depends upon the
situation in West Virginia. If that Sec
tion comes out the New York and C,eve-
land mines will naturally be the pivotal

without raising the discussion as to
what la grippe may or may not be, at
least this much is certain, and admitted
by all: that it will produce catarrh if not
promptly and properly cured. 1t leaves
a person haggard, weak, sallow, frazzled
out, mucous membranes all congested, ap-
petite changeable, digestion capricious,
and just about empties life of all mean
ing or desirablyity. The specific cause
for la grippe may be a mcrobe no doubt
it is. But the effects of la grippe need not
discussion. People understand that them
selves. Experience may be a hard and
bitter teacher but the lessons learned in
this school are to the point and accurate.
There is no remedy in the world that
meets the conditions produced by la grippe
