WORK ON THE TRAP.
Dredge Boats Making Excellent Pro
gress on the Troublesome Bar at
What Point The Pilots Views on
the Wage Question: River News.

PITTSBURG. October 9.-The dredge-
boats are hard at work at dam No. 3
on the Ohio river removing the trou-
blesome bar at the Trap. at Sewickley.
The bar begins at point about 200 feet
below and parallel with the outside edge
Of the cofferdam and extends for some
distance down the river. One dredge
has been started to work at the top Of
the bar and one is working at the foot
of it and the dredges expect to meet in
a few days.
The dirt being removed is being piled
UP on the south side shore to distance
OF from II TO Is feet high. 1t is expect
ed that this wall of dirt will act as a
funnel and the strong current that nat
urally will be formed, will wash or
scour the channel, so that it will make
plenty of water for the boats. The
work. it is expected, will be compIet-
ed in few days. It is said that an ef-
fort was made to scrape on the bar, but
that the plan would not work. The
dredging OF it will make a good chan
mel.
Light rains fell Up both rivers yester-
day, but only few places report rises

The point has been raised that the
agreement which the pilots have enter
ed into regarding the wage question
may be Illegal The local steamboat in
spectors, Capts. George H. Atkinson
and Joseph B. Williams, to-day quot
ed the law upon the subject. If
licensed man deserts a steamer and re-
fuses to work with another who is not
a member of the association of his
chosen profession, such person could be
charged with conspiracy and his license
could be revoked. 1t depends altogeth-
er on whether or not the person is en-
ployed.
There is no law to compel man to
work at a certain price. If a pilot re-
fused to work because he could not
get his price, he could not be compelled
to unless he was under contract. The
law only applies to those persons who
get off steamer and refuse to work
because a person does not belong to an
organization or for similar reasons. The
matter was decided some time ago
when similar question arose among
the members of the Ohio and MISSISSIPPI
pi river pilots association. Some Of
the pilots refused to work with others
that did not belong to their organiza-
ton. The inspectors were not prepared
to answer the question as to the legal
ity of the pilots agreement, in refer
ence to the wage question. The pilots
say that Maj S. R. Crumbaugh cannot
revoke pilots license, because a pilot
might refuse to work. They also say
that as long as there is one pilot on a
boat it is not in jeopardy; that all they
want is an advance in wages and ex-
pect to get it.

IMPERFECT BRAINS.
Care should Be Taken That the Impurities
Be Properly Carried on.

Be Properly Carried on.
Everyone knows of the fatal results
which follow the stoppage of the drains
in house.
| Queen Victoria's husband. the Prince
Corsort, died from poisonous germs
which were generated in the palace by
the stoppage of the drains.
The kidneys, among their many other
functions, act as drains to the body
Through them the blood passes to be
purified, leaving behind mass of effe.e
matter, which it is their duty to eject
from the system.
| When, however, the kidneys become
congested and all clogged up, this refuse
matter accumulates and becomes an
active poison, and, in course OF time, IT.
| fects the whole man, and eventually, il
the cause is not removed, it occasions
sudden death, the patient drowning, as
| it were, in his own secretions.
| The symptoms which Nature puts
| forth like danger signals to tell rs that
the kidneys no longer do their duty ar5
too numerous to set forth.
Nearly always women's peculiar all
ments in their more aggravated and
lprotracted forms are traceable to this
source, and rheumatism, in all its va
ried phases; while pneumonia and
Bright's disease are but the culmintioH
of an organic trouble, which, had il
been treated organically and not sym
Dramatically, could not possibly have
had any such fatal termination.
Coughs and colds, strange as 1t may
seem, are oftentimes symptoms oil
trouble in the kidneys.
| What must be done, then, in these
cases?
1t is surely unwise to treat symp-
toms, when we can at once heal the
iorgan from whence the symptoms rise
Let us then at once go to the root oil
the trouble and heal the kidneys.
There is a remedy, known all the
world over, that will strengthen them
so that they can perform their func-
tions; feeding them and cleansing
them in such marvellous manner that
/ the patient Immediately feels the good
work that is going on, and in few
weeks is fully able to join the ranks Of
the many thousands who gratefully ac-
