The French say ut ia the fmpossi-
bile that happens" This mas proved
to be the case with the Mount Leban-
ON Shakers. The whole scientific
world has been labOring to cure dys-
pepsia, but every effort seemed to
meet with defeat. The suffering from
stomach troubles has become almost
universal. Multitudes have no de-
sire for food, and that which they do
eat causes them pain and distress.
Sleepless nights are the rule and not
the exception, and thousands OF suf-
ferers have become discouraged.
The Shakers of Mount Lebanon
recently came to the front with their
new Digestive Cordial, which con-
tains not only food already d.
gested. but a djgester Of food.
1t promptly relieves nearly all
forms OF indigestion. Ask your drug
g.sr for one of their books.

' TWO INEFFICIENT :BLAzEs.l
Small Fires Put Out This
Morning Without Alarms 4
~ Being Turned In. ! T iJ

Two small fires were discovered
Tuesday morning, but both were put
out without calling out the depart
ment. w.. 49,.
The first was discovered by the
police in the unused barn ON the
alley in the rear Of Carl Otremba's
saloon. The fire WIS started In a
small bunch OF hay on the ground
floor. and a few pals III water. car
ried by the police from a neighborinR
hydrant, put the fire out before any
damage was done. This first IRE
occurred between 4 and 6O'clock this
morning. The second fire was about
Z o'clock this morning, and was In
the saloon of Carl Otremba. 1t was
discovered by the bartender as he
went to the place to open up.
Az he opened the front door he dis
covered that the building was 50 full
of smoke that he could not enter.
Other persons were ON the scene in
stantly and the back door was forced
open. In one Of the back rooms a
barrel of shnvings was found on fire,
and this had communicated to an
empty barrel and thin board per-
tition, and all were in a blaze.
Thoee present saw at once that the
fire had not reached the main part
of the building, and decided to not
turn in an alarm, but began work
with buckets, and sent for the chem
ical. They succeeded In putting the
fire out before the chemical arrived.
The origin 1T both fires are s"me-
what mysterious. The police are in
clined to charge the first fire to u
crowd Of men who use the barn as d
rendezvous to crush the GROWER"
and think that some one of the
crowd carelessly threw down a
lighted cigar or cigarette. The
theory of the police, however, is not
accepted, as the fire was
hut short time after it
started, and that was not very
reasonable hour for the ''can" gang.
Otremba opened his saloOn be-
tween 4 and 5 this morning, and
cleaned up, and was assisted In that
work by John Sand and Mic Gross.
Gross claims that the flOOrsweepings
were deposited in the barrel In winch
the fire originated, but cannot &C
count for the fire, for no one smoked
during the time they were In the
There was an insurance OF $3.50 on
the stock and fixtures OF the saloon.
The damage done was very light.

Browning died, where Desdemona

sit comfortably on the cushions Ut

hot sunshine, famed by the soft.
balmy air from the sea. it seems like
II beautiful dream more than any
thing else can think Of.
Then he took us to the glass fac
tories, which are very fascinating.
To see them take u small ball of
glass from L. furnace, blow it into a
ball, them " ork and shape 1t into the
most beautiful vase is wonderful. l
am told the trade IL kept within the
knowledge OF q few, and the secrets
of colors are known to but few g.,
and those are usually related to each
other-sort of family secrets, as 1t
were. But be that as it may, never
saw Anything more interesting or
more skillful than the work Of these
glass blowers. Mrs. B. wanted to
buy out two entire esta blishments,
but by a little smooth work on my
part, I managed to hold out money
enough, with good luck to get home
on, provided we start pretty soon.

The consuming territory lot Mill
neapOlis lumber has changed some
what in the last few years from what
it used to be, bt fore there was any
lumber manufactured at Sank Rap
ids, Little Falls or Brainerd. and be-
fore the west coast statesmen began
to make northwes tern Minnesota
and the Dakotas, says the Minneapo-
lis Lumberman. Then Minneapolis
supplied the lumber for the retail
yards to the north and west and
even out In Montana. Now the Lit
tie Falls, Brainerd, Cloquet, Sauk
Rapids, Milaca, Nickerson and other
mills to the north Of here have taken
the North Dakota trade away from
the Minneapolis manufacturers, and
they have turned their attention to
the southwest and to the Iowa trade.
Minneapolis Lumberman: Fred
erick Weyerhaeuser is firmly OF the
opinion that business IL on the mend.
He says that the lumber trade So far
this wear has not been up to what
he expected. but 1t is SLOWLY Improv-
ing. The encouraging report OF
April trade made by one OF the COM
mercial agencies last week. Is evil
dence, he thinks, of the improved
condition of trade generally. The
crop outlook is now good, and by
next fall he believes that the demand
for lumber will he better than now.
Lumber, Mr.. Weyerhaenser says, has
reached the bottom in price, and is
now on the upward trend.
"What we need" said Mr.. Weyer-
haeuser, IFS u protective tariff. and
then we will see better times here.
When l was in Europe. in 1894. l
found the mills and factories in Ger
many running as usual. Intact there
has been no business depression to
speak nf in Germany. The manu-
facturers there have been making
goods for consumption In America,
and our Iworkingmen have been IDLE
Tor the last three years. When we
get the tariff that we will soon have,
we will see things begin to change
for the better. l ain pleased that the
senate finance committee has re-
ported the lumber schedule with the
81 duty on white pine lumber, and l
believe that weare already beginning
to feel the beneficial effects OF the
coming tariff on lumber. Buyers are
already increasing in number In the
lake markets. and unsold stocks are
greatly reduced along the lakes.
Business is slowly improving. and II
we don't have too many stikes and
labor disturbances. normal condi-
lions will return in time"

rs SETTLE THE STRIKE.

4 Confsrence Of Nine 1esders and
Opesafors ~ Columbus.
Phtsblrg, Sept. a. Pittsburgi coal
operators met the national executive
boasd of the United Mine Workers Of
America this morning at Columbus.
A conference II being held, and It II
very probable that the big strike will
be settled. not. however, until the min
ers Of the Pittsburg district have a say.
This, in brief. 10 the situation, and
hopes are high that a settlement will
follow the conference.
: That the miners ofiicials think ia
vorably Of the proposition submitted
by, Thomas E. Young. on behalf of
the Senator Hanna interests, Is very
evident. A private message from Dis
trict President Dolan says the propo-
sition will be considered, but that he
was In favor Of standing out for the
50 cent rate. pending arbitration. If
the executive board decides otherwise.
he said. he would not agree to II unless
his constituents were consulted.
From one of the operators 1t was
learned that some of the local officials
of the miners are in favor Of accept
ing the proposition, and It Is almost
certain that convention will be called.
Whether the miners of the district will
agree TO the compromise is another
question. Many are of the opinion that
they can win by holding out a short
time longer, as the operators must have
coal for the lake trade.
Secretary Warner issued letter to
the miners yesterday, assuring them
that no settlement would be made at
Columbus below the 60 cent rate with
out first consulting them In convention.
W. P. DeArmitt. president Of the New
York and Cleveland Gas Coal company,
last evening attached the signature Of
his company to the uniformity agree
ment. Those having in charge the Sc
curing of signatures now feel confident
that the uniformity plan will soon be
an assured fact.
