The United Typothetae of America Has Knotty Affair to

MILWAUKEE, Aug. 25.-The United Typothetae of America has a knotty affair to untangle in the nine-hour prob lem With two protracted executive ses- sions to-day, the matter still remains in be strengthened out. Both President J. H. Bowen of the International Pressmen's and Assistants Union and George w. Harris, national organizer of the National Typographical Union, gave the employing printers to understand that 1t was only a question of a short time when a general demand would be made for a short-hour work day. The unions are willing to sub- init to a slight reduction in cities where the scale Is high, but where the pay is low % Situation now stands, the employers will either have to grant the nine-hour day or stand a strike of gigantic proportions. It is said several of the employers are in favor of granting the demand without a reduction in wages; others are willing to comprise on nine and a half hours, while the remainder are much opposed to 1t and are ready to fight.

Mayor Miles B. Preston has been Hart
ford's chief executive for two years AS
a result of his economic, wise administra-
ton, the munipality has proposed, and
and to-day stands high among the leading
cities of America.
Mayor Preston is the first chief magis-

form of government, beginning new Pc

ticuts capital.
He began at the bottom round of the lad

ford without a business acquaintance or
friend in the city. AS a man of the people
but also a thoughtful conservative official.
fully conscious of the responsibility of his
high position and of his recommenda tons

benefit he has derived from Paine celery

The modern man Of business, be he ever
so sturdy, finds often that the continued
pressure of affairs has caused the nerves
to demonstrate and fail in tone At such
a time Raine's celery compound becomes
of value, Having experienced its benefit,
l gladly commend it,
MILES b. PRESTON
The skin and the eyes are two good
thermometers of health If the skin has
spots, eruptions. an unhealthy pallor or
yellow appearance, and the eyes a
glazed look, with yellowish whites, it is
high time to purify the blood and regu-
late the liver and kidneys. Paine's eel
cry compound makes bright red blood and
relieves the liver and kidneys of the strain
that is brought upon them whenever i'm
pure blood is constantly pouring through
their substance
There is every reason in the world why
Paine's celery compound should build up
sickly people, increase their appetite and
nourish every tissue in their body.
AS even childfen are aware, there is
blood all over the body. 1t is this blood
which builds up the tissues that have
been worn out. 1t carries all the mate
rails for restoring wasted and worn parts.
To the muscles 1t gives certain particular

bone in the brain and nerves it leaves
other materials again for making nerve
matter. and so on.
But it takes rich, pure. highly vitalized
blood to do all this, and this is the power
full lever which Paine's celery compound
takes advantage of to make the weak body
strong, and to drive out disease from the
system
Palne's celery compound supplies just
that needed, appropriate food that the ov-
erworked nerves are often too feeble to
extract, unaided. from the mass of food
taken into the stomach. Paine's celery
compound increases the appetite and puts
the digestive organs into shape to pass
the food over to the blood in such a per-
fectly prepared condition that the change
into nerve, brain and tissue substance is
easily and fully brought about, without
waste of nervous energy or wear upon the
liver, kidneys, heart or stomach.
In this scientific, accurate fashion Paine s
celery compound permanently cures stom-
ach troubles, disordered liver, kidney dis
ease, indigestion and all unhealthy condi-
tions that grow out of overworked, under
fed nerves and organs.

light artillery from Fort Riley, Kansas,
to Savannah
The anxiety of the freight officials as to
who will get the business will probably
be relieved to-day, as messages will be
received from the West to show which Of
the initial lines bidding for the business
is successful in getting 1t. The bids were
opened yesterday at Chicago by the officers
of the department of the army in which
Fort Riley is located. Bids were put in
by all the competitive lines eastbound.
as the business Is one of sufficient volume
to attract the officials.
Railroad men say Fort Riley has been
figured out as the most central point in

dent to the moving of the battery. but is
an item of interest to those who have the
various places Of the country as often be-
fore their eyes as raiload men.
The initial lines manage the whole
business of putting in bids when large
movement of freight is TO be tried for.
BY initial lines, the railroad men mean
those that begin the movement To Sc
cure such a contract as the transfer of
the battery involves a deviation from the
regular rates is expected. 1t is thought
some pretty good cutting was offered the
officers who went through the bids yester-
day.
The terminal and intermediate lines are
not asked about che rates by the iaitial
lines when they put in the bids They
take IL for granted that the former Will
concur in whatever rate they name, and,
besides, they have the tariff sheets Of all
the lines comprising the route the ship
ment will probably take. so that they can
pretty nearly approximate the cut that
will not be distasteful TO the terminal and
Intermediate lines. There are three routes
into Savannah that may hope TO get tho
business. Each of them affords quick and
easy means of transportation, and the So
lection OF any one will probably be on
account of the low bid put in by the in
itial line.
In addition to the movement from the
West the roads are also watching one

FIRE ALARMS ALL RIGHT VOW.
Electrician walker Says the system

The report published in the Morning
News not long since that the fire alarm
boxes had been tempered with was inter-
pretated by many Of the friends of the
former city electrician, Mr.. w. d. Clai-
borne, as rejecting upon him. There was
no such intention, of course, the report
having been based upon statement made
by the electrical expert who was inspect
ing the system. Mr.. Joseph T. Walker
the present electrician said yesterday, that
there is no suspicion that any one has
tempered with the alarm boxes.
Such statement was made by the ex-
pert" said Mr.. Walker, "and it did look
at one time as If something OF the kind
had been going on. Further investigation.
however, showed that such was not the
case. A number of the boxes had simply
been quickened by alteration of some OF
the apparatus, so that the alarms would
come in more quickly. The boxes being
of the old storage battery type. would not
work satisfactorily in this condition"
Few people have any idea how many
alarms axe turned in" continued Mr.
Walker 1T is fact that on the night
of the Cathedral fire no less than twenty
six alarms were turned in, many Of them
al about the same time. All OF them

seemed 10 be possessed of the desire to
