NO PROGRESS MADE.
Latest Effort 10 Settle Shoe Strike
Not Very Promising.
Manufacturers Still Say That They win
Not Recognize the Unions.

Marlbro. Mass, Dec 1T.--Committees
| from the joint council OF the Boot and
Shoe Workers Onion this forenoon. Wis.,
| ited the manufacturers whose estab-
ishments are involved i'm the general
strike, with the exception OF the s. II.
Howe Shoe Company and presented a
proposition suggested by clergymen OF
this city that committee from the
unions negotiate with the manufactu-
rers instead of an agent. Mr.. Howe
was out OF town this forenoon and IL
was arranged that conference be
held later I'm the day.
The conference was very brief and
as far as can be learned the union men
obtained little satisfaction. Sup't Chas.
w. Curtis Of Rice a. Hutchins fact
ories received the union committees
pleasantly. After hearing the PROPOSE
ton he Informed the committees that
he would refer the matter TO the firm.
j. Frye, another manufacturer called
upon gave the union men to under
stand that he viii adhere TO the state
ment i'm the notices posted at his fac
tory before the strike. In the notices
he said he would treat with his em-
ployes as individuals and would not
make contracts with the unions.
IL is understood that all the manu-
facturers involved i'm the strike Will
refuse To deal with the shoe workers
except as individuals so that the chan
ces of an early settlement are not re-
garded as very bright.

went out are still idle with exception |

a month. Last month the office sold
S22.S0o worth,and the month before that
the amount realized was $50. 900.
During the first two months the sales
were larger, for then everyone was
struggling To get possession OF stocks OF
stamps at once. Since then, the rush
having been supplied. IL has settled
down To steady demand every month.
IL cannot be told whether or not these
figures represent the amount of stamps
used In this state i'm one month or not

ONE or THE BEST FEATURES
OF the Pyramid Pile euro

Is the fact that il cures every form OF
piles without one particle of pain. This
desirable point is not obtained by the
use of injurious opiates which simply
deaden and paralyze the nerves of the
parts and make matters worse i'm the
long run. But it is done solely by its
remarkable healing and soothing effect
And while it thus gives immediate re-
lief, at the same time the disease is not
merely checked. but a radical cure is
rapidly accomplished.
And the point we want to make clear
is that all this is done without "A psrti-
Gle OF pain.
This fact Is one reason for the great
popularity of the Pyramid Pile Cure
and constitutes one very great differ
ence between it and almost any other
kind Of treatment for piles.
Every kind of surgical operation for
piles is excruciatingly painful besides
endansering the life OF the patient and
in most cases is not to be COMPARED
with the Pyramid Cure, neither i'm max
ing successful cures without pain nor
in cheapness and safety.
The Pyramid Pile Cure has been be-
fore the public too long and its merits
recognized by too many people TO allow |
it to be classed with the many salves. |
suppositories. pills, etc. and you run |
no risk in trying IL, as is often the case
with new and untried preparations.
If you are ever troubled with any
form OF piles or rectal disease do not
forget the Pyramid Pile Cure. Pre-

DR.. Eugene May had fine audience
at the Grand opera house Monday
evening wnen he delivered his inter-

was introduced to the audience in some
mplimentary words by Rev. A. E.
Carhart. DR.. May has recently re-
turned from Cuba, and travelled extern
sively over that country, visiting the
principal cities and points of interest
so that he was we'll qualified to give
some practical and definite Information
of country which at present is upper
most in the minds of the people. He
gave thorough description of the
country and the people, and compared
the Cubans with the Spanish in their
humanitarian instincts. This was

AN EASTERN STAR PARTY.

A Large Company and Most Delightful
Evening Resulted.
A social affair that was grand sue
cess in every particular was a dancing
party given by the Eastern Star chap
ter at Masonic hall Thursday evening,
and the society folk was out in great
numbers, and until long after midnight
the merry feet of the dancers kept
time to the entrancing music rendered
by Geiger's orchestra
The ladies had taken particular pains
to drape and decorate the lodge room
so as to present an appearance that
was pleasing to the eye, and in this
respect their efforts are worthy of
commendation. The national flag was
the most in evidence, the walls, chan
deliers, etc, being prettily decorated
with them, this feature being notice
able in both rooms. At the west end
of the hall stood large American flag
and just beneath it on the staff hung a
Cuban flag. The doorways leading
into the large hall we're tastily draped
with lace curtains, and the whole COM
bined to make the room exceedingly
attractive, to which may be added the
handsome costumes of the ladies worn
on this occasion, enhanced by the bril-.
liant glare of the incandescent lights.

cert nubmers that we're heartily en-
joyed. The program proper was open
ed with grand march, headed by G

MITCHELL AT SIOUX FALLS.
Over Hundred Took Advantage of tho
.Omaha's Excursion to Sioux Falls.

Over Hundred Took Advantage of the
.Omaha's Excursion to Sioux Falls.
When the Omaha excursion pulled
out for Sioux Falls Sunday morning
there were 1l6 Mitchell people and the
State Juvenile band aboard the train.
TIE special train arrived at Sioux
Falls about 1890 and the entrance of
Mitchell's contingent into the Queen
City was marked with considerable en-
thusiasm. Previous to their departure
number of the boys provided them-
selves with badges on which were in-
scribed: Company We, MITCHELL" and
one of each adorned the breast of SO of
Mitchell's young men. Stepping off
the train the boys formed in line and
headed by the Juvenile band, with L. E.
Whitcher in command of the forces,
they marched up Phillips avenue and
we're greeted with vociferous cheers all
along the route. The Company We"
badge was puzzler to Sioux Falls peo-
pie, but it was explained that in the old
SOAA poAJ OIL VIC PAASoAOo WoAG00 W
be officers and when the volunteer COM
pany was formed there was to be no''I'
about it, that it was to be simply "we."
In the afternoon all the uniformed COM
panies of Camp Dewey paraded the
streets headed by the Sioux Falls and
Mitchell bands consolidated, and the
grand array of soldiers made magnif-
cent and imposing appearance. The
rain during the afternoon made it
somewhat unpleasant for the people.
There were excursion trains run into
Sioux Falls from nearly every direction
and the city was nearly swamped in it's
efforts to feed the people, many being
forced to combine dinner and supper at
one meal. Mitchell people were we'll
pleased with their trip and arrived
home at II o'clock Sunday evening
with their memories we'll impressed
with what they had seen of camp life
| just before war.
The Mitchell capital. (Mitchell, Dakota [S.D.]) 1879-1918, 1898-05-13

made apparent in the characteristics of
the two classes-the Cubans with their
hearts full of sympathy, no treachery
and human kindness. The Spaniards
with their treacherous natures we're q
menace to the people. Their love for
fighting, their inhumanity and their
treatment of their subjects made them
class of people to be detested. He
gave some of his experiences in Havana
and related some of the indignities to
which he was subjected, as, for instance
he was frequently spat upon by a Span
lard and he had nothing to do but to
submit as it was as much as his life was
worth to protest against such actions
Americans were generally treated in
that manner or some other equally as
as humiliating.
DR.. May said that he visited the
Maine before and after the explosion,
and carried a piece of wire as a
memento Of the ship. DR.. May gave
it as his opinion from personal inves-
tigation that the Spaniards blew up the
ship. No other conclusion could be
arrived at by anyone who saw the
wreck. He spoke of the condition of
the Spanish army in Cuba, how they
we're poorly ctolhed and fed, and that
genera,iy the soldiers had received no
pay Ia two years; were forced to beg for
bread, and yet they clung to their
nation with zeal that is surprising.
The Cubans, he said, were in a worse
condition and it was indeed 3 sorry
sight to see so much wretchedness
beneath our very eyes. DR.. May spoke
for nearly two hours and his closing
peroration was grand climax of an
interesting lecture. DR.. May has a
keen observtion and this was apparent
by the vivid description of the scenes
he had passed through. He has q
wonderful gift in this direction and
one could almost see the scenes as he
pictured them. The lecture was very
instructing in it's nature and gave the
people better understanding of the
Cuban people and what they have had
to undergo. DR.. May was brought here
under the auspices of the athletic asso-
citation of the University and to them
the public is indebted for the lecture.
