duce of any kind will be sold for general
consumption. In nutshell, the idea
is for the farmers to limit their crops
to the actual living needs of the mem
bers of the trust. The organization is
secret, oathbound, and its principles
known just now to only select few
outside of those directly concerned in
its development. According to the
promoters, however, the country is
practically in condition to be placed in
the grip OF this remarkable combine.
Lancaster, Pa, was the birthplace of
months ago, and was Incorporated un-
der the laws of New Jersey as the
Agriculturalists' National Protective
Association. The supreme body is
made up of one representative from
each state, whose duties are similar to
those of the board of directors of an
ordinary corporation. Each state has
q. subordinate board of directors, con-
sisting of one representative from each
congressional district. Each district
in turn is governed by board of two
members from each county. Each
county is under control of board of
from five to II in number, who direct
the movements of township organiza-
tions.
1t is the purpose to do nothing this
year in the way of controlling the mar
kets, because the organization is not

the people to import all food products.
It is believed that by this method the
power of the association can best make
itself felt.

Act of a Plucky Girl.

OAKLAND, April 2.-Miss M. Nor.
gan, high school student, is conceded
to be one of the pluckiest girls in this
city, for on Saturday night last she
chased and overlook tramp who had
robbed her, and wrested from him
some S1S in cash snatched from her
grasp but few moments before. Miss
Morgan had just received change for
$40 piece from messenger boy, when
the tramp, who had evidently followed
him, knocked at the door of the house
and asked for aims. Seeing the money
in Miss Morgan's hand, he grabbed it
and made off; but she promptly gave
chase, and recovered her property after
a brief struggle.
1t is surprising what "wee bit of a
thing" can accomplish. Sick head
ache, constipation, dyspepsia, sour
stomuch, dizziness, are quickly BAN
ished by DeWitt's Little Early Risers.

TO CURE DYSPEPSIA.
A New Remedv which viii Do

A New Remedy Which VIII Do 1t.
Chronic dyspepsia is considered by many
people 10 be nearly if not quite incurable.
No good reason can be given why they
tninK so except that perhaps they have
tried various remedies without much, il
any. benefit But the progress III every
branch of medicine has been such that
among othcr things lasting cure for in
digestion In its chronic form, as well as
temporary, has been discovered, apd is
now placed before the public strictly on
it's merits, as permanent cure for all
stomach troubles or difficulties with the
digestive organs.
This new treatment Is called StuartS
Dyspepsia Tablets, being put up in tablet
form So as to be easily taken and also
70 preserve it's good qualities for an in
definite length of time.
This remedy has produced surprising
effects in the worst forms of indigestion,
aud in many cases where ordinary remedies
failed to give even relief, Stuarts Dys-
pepsia Tablets have fully cured.
The splendid results from using this
preparation are owing to the fact that it
is prepared and intended for Dyspepsia
and stomach troubles ONLY. 1t is not a
elaiming to cure everything under the sun,
.5ut it is claimed that it is certain cure
/, for Dyspepsia, and any one suffering from,
any form of indigestion cannot fail to
| get permanent relief and cure from its
use.
1t is so prepared and the ingredients
| are Of such nature that when the tablets
| are taken into the stomach they DIGEST
| THE FOOD no matter whether the stom-
| ach is In good working order or not. You
get susteEance and strength to mind and

Dow, Jones & Co say of this road:
People who have watched the trading
in Rock Island say there is unmistakable
evidence of realizing around the present
figures, and that TINS realizing, while not
urgent, indicates willingness on the part
of insiders to accept profits. One reason
for this is the position OF the other grang,

siders that the dividend viii not be placed

conservative circles may be summed up by
saying that until the market finds a lower

some coal for its own use, attempted to

to work News of this spread, and shortly
after O'Clock two score of infurated
women, armed with sticks and stones.
and followed by a hundred boys, ap-
pcared upon the scene and made an on
slaught upon the workers. Egged on by

at the 1neG aud drove them from the pits,
The mob next swooped down. on the Mon
arch. Star and Carson and drove the men
working there out also. In consequence
all the works named had to close down.
Information of these riorous demon
strations was conveyed TO Gen. Goblin,
and he ordered five companies of the
| Eighth Regiment, under Col. MacGee, to
the scene. When the troops arrived here,
| however, the mischief had been DONE and
! tberioters had dispersed. His services came
too late, and Col. MacGee returned with
| his men to Hazleton.
| These occurrences have had the effect
of stirring UP Sheriff Scott, of Schuylkill
county, in which these places are situated,
and he proceeded to Hazleton to ask en-.
Goblin for military protection. Gen. Goblin
was of the opinion that since his com.
mand had been detailed for service in

advised Sheriff Scott to appeal directly to
the governor. This the latter did, and re-
NAMED in Hazleton until 6 O'Clock, ava it,
